It kind of resembles Nanzhi, but with a more mature fragrance... just like Master.
He involuntarily turned his head to secretly observe Xiao Yinruo, who stood tall with a cold and ethereal aura. Just like Master when outside, she wore clothes that concealed the lines of the body.
However, Lu Jin’an had seen her after a bath once—that time he got directly sent flying into the lake outside Qingyi Palace by Xiao Yinruo.
So he very clearly knew how captivating and alluring Xiao Yinruo’s figure was beneath those garments... Only slightly less grandiose than Master’s.
Lu Jin’an thought, and in the next second, his head got smacked: "What are you sneaking looks for?"
Lu Jin’an withdrew his gaze unhurriedly and confessed, "Aunt Ruo, you’re so beautiful..."
"I am your aunt." Xiao Yinruo cut off his words: "Don’t make Nanzhi angry."
Lu Jin’an didn’t reply, and Xiao Yinruo sighed inwardly, knowing the thoughts this child harbored towards her; now being alone, it’s normal for his eyes to wander.
She didn’t ’discipline’ him further and instead said, "You should stay alert as well; maybe you’ll discover something."
Lu Jin’an was taken aback: "Aunt Ruo, do you really think so?"
Xiao Yinruo’s eyes flickered with amusement, inwardly thinking of course not.
Even if this child were exceptionally talented, discovering anything unusual about Buddha Burial Valley while in the Tribulation Crossing Realm was impossible.
Even Divine Hidden Great Powers find it dangerous here, so if he were to discover something, that would truly be strange.
Nonetheless, she solemnly nodded: "Yes, you’re adept with Death Rules, so maybe you can find details I can’t." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel·fiɾe·net
With such words, she could divert the child’s attention.
Lu Jin’an wasn’t a fool, and of course, he wouldn’t just be fooled by Xiao Yinruo, but he still braced himself.
In a dangerous place , it’s best not to create trouble for Aunt Ruo.
Under the protection of the Immortal Artifact, it seemed like two different worlds under and outside the umbrella, unaffected by the wind and rain.
As they went deeper into the Dead Tide, Xiao Yinruo’s attention was fully focused on the surroundings, no longer dwelling on Lu Jin’an holding onto her sleeve.
In the chaotic ridges of the desert, the gray mist was dense, with distant, faint Rashamon roars. But after walking for a long time, none of the Rashamon Ghost Faces emerged, as if they had vanished overnight without a trace.
Xiao Yinruo gradually slowed her steps, as the increasingly thick Dead Tide made her feel some oppression too.
So she raised her left hand and swung it, with azure spiritual power splitting the gray mist ahead like a mountain-opening, sea-severing force.
The yin-energy-laden sacred ground entered their sight.
Xiao Yinruo glanced at Lu Jin’an, who also raised his hand following her movement, with a flicker of amusement in her eyes, feeling inexplicably that this child was a bit silly in his obedience.
She turned her head to look at Lu Jin’an, seeing his expression solemn, his breathing erratic as he mobilized the vigorous force in his body to withstand the oppressive sensation brought by the Dead Tide.
"Do we have to break through this formation?" Lu Jin’an’s voice held some hesitation.
Xiao Yinruo nodded: "It’s just a full-force move, can you hold on?"
Lu Jin’an directly activated five Dao Palaces then nodded: "I can!"
"Body refinement does have its benefits."
Xiao Yinruo spoke softly, as even she felt some breathlessness here.
She couldn’t help but look down at her own heavy bosom.
Outside Qingmiao Palace and Taichu Peak, she had the habit of binding her chest with white cloth to make it appear less sizeable.
Though it wasn’t too tight, it was feeling a bit cumbersome now.
Xiao Yinruo’s gaze lightly lifted, her left hand pinching a single mantra. With the completion of the mantra, the Forget Love Dao Domain circulated, and at her fingertips, spiritual power condensed into a drop of water at this moment.
She stepped forward, flicking her fingers.
The water droplet shot out like an arrow, directly entering the sacred ground.
In the sacred ground, the eyes of the many stone statues like Vajras, Rashamons, and Bodhisattvas lit up in an instant, but—
Amidst the boundless gray mist, the water opened a path.
In just an instant, the sky cracked open, the gray mist dispersed, and the water droplet rushing towards the center of the sacred ground appeared like a light—a light akin to an aurora suspended at the horizon.
For a moment, the world seemed like a waterfall, cleansing the black rain across the sky into clear raindrops, drifting with the wind.
After a glance, Lu Jin’an had already closed his eyes, as the laws contained within Xiao Yinruo’s Immortal Technique were far too profound, beyond the level he could comprehend. If he were to look, he might just end up blind.
Because this was an Immortal Technique with killing intent, not one for understanding.
He held Xiao Yinruo’s sleeve tightly with his eyes closed and followed her steps forward until he heard Xiao Yinruo say it was okay to open his eyes, and then he did.
Lu Jin’an turned back for a glance. The once gloomy sacred ground had turned into a clear lake, and all the stone statues had disappeared without a trace.
Lu Jin’an withdrew his gaze, turning to look at the composed Xiao Yinruo, curiously asking, "Forget Love Great Dao, was it?"
"Yes." Xiao Yinruo smiled slightly: "Heart demons are also a form of emotion; eliminating them is all that’s needed."
Lu Jin’an seemed thoughtful: "The Forget Love Taoist Skill can counteract many Daoist Skills."
"That’s right." Xiao Yinruo nodded lightly: "Want to learn it?"
"I don’t want to." Lu Jin’an shook his head: "I’m not cut out for it."
"How do you know without trying?"
"Qingmiao Palace doesn’t accept males." Lu Jin’an said with a smile.
Xiao Yinruo’s face was cold, her voice calm: "Then just cut it off."
Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but look at Xiao Yinruo twice. So ruthless... uh, could she also be a hidden yandere like Nanzhi?
He lightly coughed: "I don’t have that courage, so let’s forget about it."
