After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

While Lin Chu was talking to Yu Sheng.

Ji Ning was standing on the back of the rolling ball, tiptoeing, reaching out to reach the biggest and reddest fruit on the spirit fruit tree.

The panda's four short legs were all tense, and it dared not move.

But the person on his back clearly overestimated their height.

Her fair, delicate hand dangled under the fruit for a long time, but it was just a little short.

"Just a little higher, just a little higher..."

Ji Ning puffed out her cheeks and leaned her whole body forward.

Just as she was about to lose her balance, a fair hand reached out from the side and gently plucked the spiritual fruit.

"Miss Ning, here you go."

Fireflies landed beside her and handed her the spirit fruit with a smile.

Ji Ning's eyes lit up, and she jumped off Gun Gun's back, catching it with both hands.

"Thank you, Sister Firefly!"

The sound was crisp and clear.

Liu Ying ruffled her hair and casually said, "Miss Ning, you can have the maids do this kind of thing in the future."

As she spoke, she looked around.

The courtyard was quiet; apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no one else around.

Liu Ying frowned.

Logically, at this hour, Ji Ning should have a maidservant following her everywhere.

"Why is no one here today?"

Ji Ning had already broken the spirit fruit in half, stuffing one half into Gun Gun's mouth, while she herself nibbled on the other half, mumbling:

"Yesterday, a girl played with me for a while, and then she disappeared."

Liu Ying didn't think much of it.

These young maids inevitably have their lazy moments.

"These girls are becoming less and less attentive."

She made a mental note of this, thinking that she would have to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs about it later.

Liu Ying took Ji Ning's small hand: "Come on, let's go find the Third Young Master."

Ji Ning tilted her head back, a little bit of spiritual fruit juice still clinging to the corner of her mouth, and nodded emphatically.

"Um!"

The two walked through the corridor and saw Lin Chu and Ao Tianxin sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake from afar.

Ao Tianxin was drinking tea with her head down, while Lin Chu leaned against a pavilion pillar, saying something.

Ji Ning released Liu Ying's hand and ran over.

"elder brother!"

Lin Chu turned around and saw that her little face was flushed from running, and couldn't help but smile.

Why are you in such a hurry?

"Here you go!" Ji Ning held up the half-eaten spirit fruit with several bite marks in her hand.

"It's so sweet!"

Lin Chu chuckled, reached out and took the half of the spiritual fruit, and took a bite.

"Hmm, it is quite sweet."

Ji Ning laughed even more happily, sat down next to him, and dangled her two short legs over the railing, swinging back and forth.

Ao Tianxin watched this scene with a smile in her eyes.

"Speaking of which, you haven't really explored Tianlan City much, have you?"

Lin Chu turned to look at her.

Ao Tianxin put down her teacup: "Indeed, there isn't any."

"Come on, let me show you around."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning immediately jumped down.

"Me too! Me too!"

Lin Chu pinched her cheek: "I didn't say I wouldn't take you."

The tumbler had rolled all the way to Lin Chu's feet and was nudging Lin Chu's legs with its head.

Lin Chu bent down, picked it up, and stuffed it into Ji Ning's arms.

"This guy's getting fatter and fatter, hold on tight to your mount."

"Hehe, let's go, Gun Gun!"

The three left their clan's territory and stepped onto the main street.

Tianlan City remained as bustling as ever.

The streets paved with celestial jade were wide enough for ten celestial carriages to travel side by side, with celestial buildings standing on both sides, their spiritual light flowing.

The appearance of the three immediately attracted countless eyes.

"Why did the Third Young Master walk out today?"

"That's rare."

"The person next to him, could it be...?"

"That's right, it's Ao Tianxin."

Many people were secretly observing.

Ao Tianxin wore a light blue fairy dress today, with her long hair half-up, and her temperament remained aloof.

Walking beside Lin Chu, he was in no way inferior.

"Is this Ao Tianxin from Longyuan? He is indeed exceptionally handsome."

"She is worthy of the Third Young Master."

"When has the Third Young Master ever had a bad eye?"

The murmurs were low, and no one dared to approach and disturb them.

This is an unwritten agreement in Tianlan City.

When the Third Young Master goes shopping, you can watch and praise him behind his back, but you must never go up close and get in his way.

Ji Ning tilted her little face up, looked left and right, and suddenly pointed to a spirit fruit shop.

"Brother, Gun Gun wants to eat that!"

Lin Chu followed her gaze and smiled, "Does Gun Gun want to eat it, or do you want to eat it?"

Ji Ning blushed.

I want both.

Ao Tianxin chuckled to himself, then casually pointed to a few bamboo stalks and two bags of spirit fruits, which the waiter quickly wrapped up and handed over.

After paying with the fairy crystals, Ji Ning happily hugged it over.

"Thank you, Sister Tianxin."

The three walked along the street for a while.

Ao Tianxin's gaze gradually became somewhat unfocused.

It felt like I was back in Chang'an.

At that time, Lin Chu walked in front, and she followed behind.

The streets were bustling with activity.

Only the ground beneath my feet is made of bluestone slabs, and the smoke of everyday life drifts on both sides.

Now, times have changed.

The people around me haven't changed.

She was lost in thought when her hand was suddenly grasped.

He looked up and met Lin Chu's smiling eyes.

Ao Tianxin smiled slightly and took the grip back.

The two held hands and walked slowly forward.

Ji Ning carried Gun Gun and walked ahead.

"Brother! Look at that candied hawthorn that's glowing!"

"Gungung, don't move around, you'll fall!"

The little girl chattered away like a cheerful little magpie.

Over the next few days, Lin Chu took Ao Tianxin to explore most of Tianlan City.

Immortal Beast Shop, Spirit Material Market, Myriad Laws Pavilion, Fighting Arena, etc.

Ao Tianxin's horizons were broadened.

Although Longyuan is vast, it is ultimately a body of water.

Where have I ever seen Tianlan City, a place that spans ten directions and gathers all things in one city?

"I had long heard that Tianlan City was one of the most prosperous cities in the Taixu Spirit Realm, and today I see that its reputation is well-deserved."

"This is nothing," Lin Chu laughed. "I'll take you to the outer city another day; that's where the real money-spending brothels are."

The two chatted and laughed, while Ji Ning bounced around on the side.

……

A few days later, early in the morning, Lin Chu squatted in the yard feeding Gun Gun.

He held a section of bamboo in his hand, its green leaves glistening with moisture.

"Here, have some."

The panda came closer to sniff it, then turned its head away.

Lin Chu, refusing to believe it, pushed the bamboo towards its mouth again.

Gun Gun simply rolled over, landing on its back with its four paws in the air, and rolled to the side.

"Hey!"

Lin Chu laughed in exasperation.

"Good grief, you've become picky about food. Pandas don't eat bamboo, is that even acceptable?"

He pushed the bamboo forward again, and the panda let out a "yelp" and pushed the bamboo away with its two front paws, looking disgusted.

"Didn't you used to love eating this?"

Gun Gun turned its head around and turned its back to him.

Ji Ning sat on the stone steps to the side, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

Lin Chu turned her head, speechless.

"It's all because you spoiled her."

"No, it's just greedy!"

Lin Chu stood up and patted the hem of her clothes.

"Alright, from now on, we'll remove the spirit bamboo and feed them spirit fruits instead."

Gun Gun understood, immediately turned over, and ran over happily, rubbing its head against his leg.

Lin Chu poked its forehead in annoyance: "You're quite clever."

Ao Tianxin sat in the pavilion, holding a teacup, watching this scene with a smile in her eyes.

Logically speaking, the three generations of Lin Chu should have been mature and stable by now.

But sometimes, she's still like a child.

As I watched...

Ao Tianxin's gaze gradually softened.

However, it seems that she really does like him just the way he is.
