Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 19. Serving the Young Master as He Undresses and Enters His Dream (Please give me some reading opportunities, meow!)

"Why did you save me, young master?"

Back in the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, Xia Lianxue spoke softly.

After pondering the question for days, she finally mustered the courage to speak up.

Lu Changyuan didn't turn around, but gestured for her to follow.

The rocking chairs that were placed there at noon were still in the park. Lu Changyuan sat down and looked up at the night sky.

The moon is very round tonight, but unfortunately it is covered by dark clouds, preventing the earth from receiving its soft moonlight and making the night extremely dark.

Xia Lianxue felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but she couldn't pinpoint the exact feeling.

This courtyard is not safe; outside are wandering cultivators. No, nowhere in Shangyujing is safe these days. The commotion caused by cultivators and coup soldiers is mixed together, and the people of Shangyujing can only stay at home and pray.

But the two of them waited for the moon to rise in such an unsafe place.

Lu Changyuan asked, "What's making you feel bad?"

"I don't"

"I can tell you're in a lot of pain."

Xia Lianxue lowered her head in grievance. She was upset and couldn't help but think that mortals were indeed easily disturbed. She didn't have so many troubles when she was Miaoyu's disciple.

If only I still had my cultivation level.

Lu Changyuan's words interrupted her thoughts: "You feel powerless, right? You feel insecure. When the Third Princess suddenly appeared, when the elixir was born, you felt your life was in danger."

Xia Lianxue bit her lip, her hands clenched tightly: "No, it's not."

Lu Changyuan was still looking at the sky.

"So what's making you feel bad?"

Silence spread here.

No one knew how much time had passed until someone outside the courtyard shouted, "The Wind Fist Sect has stolen the Heaven-Mending Pill! Chase after them!"

Xia Lianxue finally spoke.

“Young master, many people will die tonight, especially mortals who may be affected.”

Lu Changyuan smiled easily, and even Xia Lianxue, who was watching him smile, felt lighter: "Do you know what the most important thing in cultivation is?"

Xia Lianxue stood beside him, her hands folded in front of her, looking incredibly obedient.

"Persistence?"

"Besides that?"

Xia Lianxue thought for a moment, then said dejectedly, "Please teach me, young master."

Lu Changyuan narrowed his eyes: "Don't forget that you are a human being."

"Young master, what do you mean?"

The boy sitting in the rocking chair suddenly reached out and gently stroked the fairy's hair before taking it into his hand and playing with it.

Logically speaking, this was extremely frivolous, but Xia Lianxue didn't feel offended; she only felt a slight numbness in her chest.

"You ask me why I saved you? Anyone with a compassionate heart should be saved."

Xia Lianxue's cheeks flushed, making her incredibly alluring. She didn't know why she didn't dislike Lu Changyuan, as if he had touched her hair long ago. She stammered, "Is that so?"

Lu Changyuan thought of Zui Hongluan and answered affirmatively, "That's right. Do you think I have ulterior motives towards you? That I'm after your little bit of savings? I just admire your character."

"I don't have it, and I don't deserve it."

After all, all she has now is an exceptionally beautiful appearance.

"Don't worry, it's hard to say at other times, but since the people from the Green Grass Sword Sect are here this time, they won't condone the battle between immortals and harm mortals." Lu Changyuan seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh: "Those people from the Green Grass Sword Sect are notorious for being nosy."

Xia Lianxue asked blankly, "What if mortals harm mortals?"

"That's none of my business."

Lu Changyuan stood up and gave her a gentle push. The fairy lost her balance, her white dress billowing like silk, and she fell onto the recliner.

"Have you ever counted the stars?" "No. Maybe I have, but I don't remember."

"Let's start counting now. Count to the 247th one. After you finish counting, I'll tell you what we need to do next to get the Heaven-Mending Pill."

Xia Lianxue's attention was completely drawn to Lu Changyuan's words, so her beautiful eyes rippled as she looked up at the sky.

~~~~~~~~~~
I can't remember which one I counted.

Xia Lianxue was asleep, even though the shouts of battle outside were deafening.

Lu Changyuan seemed to have anticipated this, and gently smoothed Xia Lianxue's brow.

Then Lu Changyuan opened his door and looked at the magpie-themed screen welcoming spring.

"Come out."

"Young Master's words were also meant for my ears."

The young girl stepped gracefully out from behind the screen, brightening the room considerably.

Unlike on the boat, the girl had removed her lotus crown, and her silver-white hair was casually tied into a bun and secured with a wooden hairpin, flowing softly down her delicate back. Even so, a few strands of hair still fell unruly, sticking to her cheeks, making the girl look even more charming and innocent.

So lovely.

How can there be such a good-looking person in this world?

"Why doesn't the young master speak? Are you so captivated by Youwan?"

"indeed so."

Su Youwan nodded: "Should I cover my face to avoid disturbing my conversation with you, young master?"

Her previous sentence was devoid of any emotion; it was simply a practical inquiry.

Lu Changyuan shook his head: "No need. What does the Third Prince want to do here so late at night? Surely he doesn't need to stay here temporarily because he has nowhere else to go."

"Young master, are you going to ask me questions before you've even answered them?"

It seems that this stunningly beautiful Third Prince also dislikes answering questions with questions.

Lu Changyuan said helplessly, "I wasn't telling you this; you were actually eavesdropping."

"That was Youwan's rudeness."

“You are different from other practitioners. Most other practitioners do not regard ordinary people as human beings, but you do not regard practitioners as human beings.”

Su Youwan shook her head: "I do not wish to argue with you about this matter. I have come here for two things."

Lu Changyuan looked at the girl, gesturing for her to continue.

"Before that, Youwan would like to ask you a question, young master: are you married?"

Lu Changyuan thought for a moment and said lightly, "It used to be, but it's not now."

The previous engagements were all from over a thousand years ago in the game. At that time, Chang'an Daoist had not yet entered the path of immortality and had a fiancée, but the funny thing is that he no longer remembers what his fiancée looks like or her name.

Maybe it's an illusion.

Lu Changyuan felt that the girl in front of him, dressed in a Taoist robe and seemingly calm and composed, was smiling: "Then we can talk about the first thing, young master, do you want to marry me?"

?

Oh, yes, that's true.

The noodle shop owner said he wanted to give me his third daughter as a wife.

Well, they've come knocking on our door.

"If you agree, young master, tonight can be our wedding night. Youwan can help you undress and fall asleep. Whether you are a new wife or return to your former virginity is up to you. However, after the matter of the Heaven-Mending Pill is settled, you will have to return to the Black Domain to serve your master. If you are willing, you may go back with you."

No, wait a minute.

What storms and waves hasn't Lu Changyuan seen?

He had never seen this scene before.

Xia Lianxue is still sleeping outside the door!
