Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

"Thank you for taking care of Brother Lin Dong, Miss Mu."

Qingtan pursed her lips and gave the white-clad beauty a smile. Although she felt a little annoyed, the girl's words were full of sincere gratitude.

Mu Zi nodded slightly. Although her attitude was somewhat indifferent, it did not seem impolite given her graceful and elegant demeanor. It was as if she was naturally meant to be so aloof.

"Are you his sister?"

Seeing Qingtan nod, Mu Zi looked at the former with a hint of deeper meaning: "It doesn't seem like it."

Bloodline, talent, appearance—the two siblings are completely alike, but Mu Zi has no interest in delving into it.

"Brother Lin Dong, are you going out for training with the young lady this time?" Qing Tan asked casually.

"That's right," Mu Ziyu nodded slightly, "There's something I need Lin Dong's help with. Let him stay with me for now."

"..."

Qingtan pursed her lips, looking at the two people standing side by side in front of her. For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It was as if Lin Dong, who had always belonged to her alone, was about to be taken away by another woman, but Qing Tan couldn't say anything.

Looking at the elegant and graceful appearance of the woman in white before her, even Qing Tan had to admit that such a rare beauty and temperament was enough to make even a woman like her feel a little moved, let alone Lin Dong, a grown man.

With a slightly sighing look in her eyes, Qingtan glanced at Lin Dong, then stepped forward, took his arm, and said softly:

"Brother, be careful when you're out there training. With your straightforward nature, don't let others fool you."

"Nizi..." Lin Dong was a little confused. He felt that Qing Tan was acting a bit strange today, and her words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Qingtan tiptoed and whispered in Lin Dong's ear, "Don't easily believe what beautiful women say, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Although the brother and sister were whispering, to Mu Zi it was no different from a loud conspiracy, which she could hear clearly.

Slightly taken aback, a faint smile seemed to appear on Mu Zi's lips, which were hidden by a light veil. Let's just take this as a compliment to her beauty.

As Qingtan watched them go, the two figures gradually walked away and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Nizi, what are you standing there for? Where's Dong'er?"

The gentle and refined Liu Yan noticed Qing Tan standing there in a daze. She glanced in the direction Lin Dong had left and asked thoughtfully, "Did you go out with friends?"

"Brother Lin Dong..."

Coming to her senses, Qingtan sighed softly, her small face filled with melancholy.

"Brother Lin Dong has been kidnapped by a bad woman."

Liu Yan: ?

-

After bidding farewell to Lin Dong's family, Mu Zixuan did not linger any longer. She placed her jade-like hand on Lin Dong's shoulder and prepared to lead him away from Yan City.

"Wait, I can walk by myself!"

Lin Dong's expression changed slightly. He didn't want to experience that feeling of being tossed around in the air a second time!

Sensing that Mu Zi's grip loosened slightly, Lin Dong had a sudden inspiration and quickly pressed on, saying, "Cultivation is about accumulating knowledge day by day. Why rush it? Sometimes, slowing down a bit and looking at the scenery along the way might bring you a different kind of insight."

"Slow down..."

Mu Zi looked at the man in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her clear eyes. Could this barbarian Lin Dong really say such a thing?

But on second thought, she might have indeed pushed herself too hard and been a little unreasonable. In that case, she should do as Lin Dong suggested.

"Follow me."

Mu Zi released her hand, said softly, then her white dress fluttered slightly as she turned and walked unhurriedly down the streets of Yan City.

This time, Lin Dong followed half a step behind her, maintaining a perfect distance that allowed him to take in her slender figure.

A long, moon-white dress, a graceful and slender figure, long hair cascading down to her waist, and exquisite, flawless feet, white and delicate, peeking out from under the hem of her dress like crescent moons.

A strange light flashed in Lin Dong's eyes.

Only then did he realize that Mu Zi was walking barefoot on the ground, and her lotus feet were still smooth and shiny, without a speck of dust or dirt on them!

Staring blankly at that dazzling white, Lin Dong never took his eyes off those lotus feet, his heart rising and falling with each step.

"What are you looking at?"

A cool voice came from behind him, and Lin Dong subconsciously looked up, meeting a pair of calm, watery purple eyes.

His expression was slightly unnatural. Lin Dong looked away, coughed lightly, and said, "I was wondering why you weren't wearing shoes. Won't you catch a cold walking barefoot?"

"Caught a cold..."

Mu Zi paused, slightly taken aback by Lin Dong's sudden concern.

Now, her body is a divine body and bones transformed by the Holy Spirit, possessing exquisite beauty and purity, exuding a natural fragrance, and exhibiting various miraculous qualities that cannot be measured by conventional reason.

She was like a fairy, her robes flowing like a gentle breeze, her spirit pure and bright, traversing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains barefoot, untouched by the dust of the world. Then Lin Dong asked her if she would catch a cold walking barefoot.

This focus is rather...unusual.

Mu Zi stopped in her tracks, a thoughtful look crossing her eyes. After a moment's thought, she realized that Lin Dong's words had reminded her that since she had decided to start over as a human in this life, she couldn't just follow her own whims.

Let's start making changes right now.

After all, who doesn't wear shoes?

"In that case, go and find me a pair of shoes."

Mu Zi gazed into Lin Dong's eyes, said something softly, and then just watched him quietly.

Seeing Lin Dong standing there motionless, a melodious female voice came from beneath the veil once again.

"You don't want to?"

Looking at the charming Mu Zi in front of him, Lin Dong's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. The white-clad beauty's tone was not imperious, but it seemed to have a kind of magic that made Lin Dong unable to say no to her.

"Okay, leave this to me. I'll definitely get it done!"

Lin Dong agreed very readily, which made the little sable hiding in the stone talisman space curl its lips. It was absolutely true that this kid valued women over friends. When doing things for Lord Sable, he was always very shrewd, never acting until he saw the benefit. But when it came to that woman, he put on a bold and generous act without the slightest hesitation.

Hmph, you heartless brat, I, the Mink Lord, am not going to play along!

The little sable snorted and decided to turn a blind eye, sealing its senses within the stone talisman space to avoid seeing the man and woman flirting.

Outside, Lin Dong volunteered to lead Mu Zi through several twists and turns to a simple and elegant pavilion located in the northwest corner of Yan City.

Jin Yu Ge (Golden Jade Pavilion)

In Yan City, besides the Wan Jin Auction House, the two most famous dens of extravagance are the Wan Jin Auction House and the Wan Jin Auction House.

The Wonders Pavilion sells various items related to cultivation, such as Qiankun bags and talismans; the Golden Jade Pavilion specializes in displaying specially made clothing, with a full range of garments and accessories.

Due to its precious materials and exquisite craftsmanship, it is especially favored by some women. However, its extremely high price makes it inaccessible to the vast majority of people.

Those who can enter and leave this place are either rich or noble.

But today, Jin Yu Ge welcomed a pair of special guests.
