第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百六十一章 新居

"No, you can keep them," Lin Xuan shook his head and said unexpectedly. "What?" The girl's face showed a look of surprise. While she didn't care about the earth demon for now, the pangolin was another matter. But Lin Xuan wasn't bothered by this. He had always been generous with his resources, especially towards those he considered part of his own.

Although the earth demon had already almost advanced after consuming many cultivators' essence cores, it was still only at an intermediate stage. And the pangolin's intelligence was questionable; its assistance to him was minimal. After all, Lin Xuan's strength was comparable to that of a Separation Realm cultivator, and Yue'er far surpassed most late-stage cultivators.

With his master and servant working together, they were already a well-matched pair. Bringing back the pangolin and earth demon would be redundant.

He couldn't remain at the main hall of the Drifting Cloud Pavilion forever; in fact, he had to leave soon. Yanzhou was full of hidden talents, so the ten puppets he brought from Heavenly Skill Sect were clearly insufficient. Therefore, Lin Xuan decided to give the pangolin and earth demon to a few of his maids.

"Thank you, Young Master," she said gratefully. "You… it's wonderful."

Lin Xuan smiled kindly. "No need to thank me. Just work hard and don't disappoint my intentions." "Young Master, I will never slack off," Yue'er replied earnestly.

The girl was a smart one; she could tell Lin Xuan had more on his mind. She bowed slightly and then respectfully stepped back. A gentle breeze blew, leaving only Lin Xuan and Yue'er behind.

The little girl stood quietly beside him, her face flushed with an unknown thought. Lin Xuan turned to see this alluring scene.

All the scheming and strategy in the world melted away at that moment. As a cultivator who had lived for over two hundred years, he felt like a novice just entering the realm of love. For some reason, he felt nervous.

Lin Xuan stared blankly ahead. Although the封印of the Arrogant King hadn't been lifted, Yue'er's appearance was unchanged from before. But Lin Xuan couldn't look away. Yue'er was both happy and shy, lowering her head quietly. The scenery around them was picturesque as they hung in mid-air.

After a long while, Lin Xuan finally realized he had acted too foolishly. He scratched his head and coughed lightly. "Young Master, what's wrong?" Yue'er raised her delicate face with a bashful expression. "That… Yue'er, shouldn't we start cultivating our own cave now?"

Yue'er never doubted the young master's decisions; she obediently played with her small hands, clearly a sweet little girl. It was hard to imagine that just moments ago, she had captured the cunning and devious Heavenly Ghost Emperor.

Lin Xuan merely asked this out of courtesy. He waved his sleeve, sending out dozens of sword qi that grew as they flew. "Hurry!" Lin Xuan commanded, and those colorful sword qi shot towards a nearby mountain peak.

Creating a cave was already familiar to Lin Xuan; it took only half a cup of tea for him to finish the basic structure. If it were any other time, he would have stopped there since he didn't enjoy luxury or extravagance. It was just for meditation and cultivation; no need for meticulous decoration.

But this time, something inexplicable made him start decorating the cave. He not only smoothed the walls but also sent a sound transmission talisman to have Land盈儿 send over some furniture. Only when the sun set did he finally complete the cave.

"Yue'er."

Lin Xuan looked at the girl beside him and smiled faintly. "Why are you standing there? We should go inside." Yue'er nodded, feeling a strange blush.

Lin Xuan was also nervous but couldn't stand there indefinitely. He turned greenish light around his body as he flew towards the cave entrance. Yue'er's face flushed, but she followed him in.

Lin Xuan then tapped his waist and took out an array flag from his robe. Although it was safe here, being cautious never hurt. Besides, if anything happened to Yue'er and someone overheard…

Lin Xuan's mind raced with these thoughts before he finally entered the cave with Yue'er after a cup of tea.

Since their first meeting, they had been together through thick and thin without much separation. They knew each other too well, but at this moment, it felt awkward, especially for Yue'er who didn't know where to put her hands.

Lin Xuan was also nervous but couldn’t help laughing when he saw the little girl's predicament. "Why are you so distant from me?" He reached out and gently held her delicate hand. Warmth spread as if their hearts had touched at that moment.

After all, despite two centuries of companionship, they hadn't been able to touch each other before. Even a simple handshake felt blissful now.

Of course, Lin Xuan wasn’t satisfied with just this. His heart suddenly surged with an impulse, and he turned around, stretching his ape-like arms to embrace Yue'er in his arms.

The suddenness left the little girl momentarily stunned. She then snuggled close to Young Master's chest, feeling warm. "Yue'er," she murmured, "I told you that no matter if your past life was as an Arrogant King or what you will be in this one, I will always be with you."

P.S.: Sorry for the delay. I said I would update today but then there was a power outage and some urgent matters at home. Truly sorry.
