Perhaps it had been too long since they last met, but separation was better than love.
Lian Feng's eyes subconsciously turned red when she saw that familiar face again. She was very emotional. She had spent the past few years in that cold cave. No one could understand the loneliness in her heart.
"Lian'er, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are we so distant?" Ye Qiu might have seen through Lian Feng's thoughts. He walked up to her and teased.
Lian Feng rolled her eyes at him for no reason. A different emotion appeared. Perhaps only in front of Ye Qiu would she show the attitude of a little woman.
"Go to hell." She replied to him angrily. She really wanted to rush up and hug this man she had been thinking about day and night, but she felt a little embarrassed with the three lightbulbs beside her.
After all, she still needed to maintain her status as a mistress. How could she do such a thing in front of her disciples?
Lian Feng was thin-skinned, but Ye Qiu didn't care. "Hehe… Come, let me hug you."
As he spoke, he reached out to hug her. Lian Feng pushed him away and blushed. She said angrily, "Get lost. Who asked you to hug me?"
"Wow… Senior Sister, look, Mistress's face is so red." Little Linglong widened her eyes and said to Lin Qingzhu seriously. She might not know why Lian Feng was like this. She thought that her mistress was sick.
"Pfft," Lin Qingzhu covered her mouth and laughed in embarrassment. She hurriedly hugged Linglong and pulled her away. She said, "Linglong, be good. Don't spout nonsense. Master and Mistress still have serious matters to do. We can't disturb them."
Hearing this, Lian Feng's face turned even redder. She denied, "Damn girl, what nonsense are you spouting? What serious matter can we have?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't explained, but once she did, Lin Qingzhu smiled even more maliciously.
She suddenly realized that her mistress was really thin-skinned. She was a completely different person from her usual cold image, especially in front of her master. She couldn't take it anymore.
Of course, she did not dare to go too far. After all, her mistress was still her mistress. Respect for her master was already engraved in her bones, a taboo existence that she could not touch.
"Haha… Alright, alright, let's stop fooling around." Seeing that Lian Feng seemed to be a little anxious, Ye Qiu hurriedly interrupted this topic. He took a step forward and hugged her.
Lian Feng did not resist, but when she saw her disciples' malicious smiles, she blushed. However, no matter what, her cultivation all these years was not for nothing. After calming down for a while, she finally regained her usual cold image, as if she had tacitly agreed to this fact.
What was there to be embarrassed about? She had just come out of seclusion and was just not used to it. Moreover, this was the first time she had such intimate contact with her disciples. She was just not used to it.
In reality, she wasn't as unbearable as Ye Qiu had imagined and quickly adapted.
Linglong's eyes widened. She looked at her master and then at her mistress. Her small head was filled with curiosity.
She did not understand these things between men and women at all, let alone why her mistress was so shy. If it were her, she would not care about these things and would directly throw herself into her master's arms.
She pouted. She was very puzzled. Could it be that it was very embarrassing to let her master hug her? She couldn't help but think. Clearly, Linglong had already begun to go astray. In fact, for a long time in the future, she would feel that it was very embarrassing to let her master hug her.
How could she understand that Ye Qiu hugging her and Lian Feng were completely different?
She asked softly, "Senior Sister, why does Mistress look so shy even though she clearly likes to be hugged by Master?"
Lin Qingzhu covered her forehead, not knowing how to answer this question. She gently knocked her little head. "You'll understand this problem when you grow up and meet someone you like."
"Ah? But I can't grow up."
Linglong was greatly disappointed. If she could grow up like a normal person, she would not be in a hurry. However, the problem was that she was different from normal people. There was a seal in her body and she could not grow up at all. Her body would always stay at this period.
After so many years, not only did she not grow a centimeter taller, but she also seemed to have shrunk. Linglong was furious.
Her master had once answered this question. Her master's words were that there was a seal left behind in her previous life in her body. She needed to undo the seal to successfully grow up.
The old man from Star Picking Pavilion also told her that she needed to find her true body buried in the Immortal Ancient Forbidden Area to become a truly perfect person.
With her intelligence, she couldn't even learn a few words, let alone understand this meaning. Meng Tianzheng's few words almost burned her brain.
"In short, don't ask. You'll know in the future."
Lin Qingzhu did not know how to answer, so she decided not to. Could it be that she had to tell Linglong that this was love? How could she know what love was?
After a short period of time, Ye Qiu looked at Lian Feng with blurry eyes. He looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and thought of something.
Suddenly, he asked curiously, "By the way, Lian'er, aren't you in seclusion? Why did you suddenly come out?"
Before Ye Qiu left, he had once gone to look for Lian Feng. At that time, she was immersed in accepting the inheritance of the Lord of Jade Platform.
Moreover, she had already reached the most critical step, so Ye Qiu didn't disturb her and directly brought Yaya down the mountain.
Hearing this, Lian Feng also regained her usual coldness and said calmly, "I've successfully accepted the inheritance. Just now, I felt your aura in the cave, so I came out of seclusion to check. I happened to see you confronting Xiao Jinse."
After hearing her explanation, Ye Qiu finally understood something. He was immediately delighted and said, "You've successfully accepted the inheritance?"
No one knew better than Ye Qiu what the inheritance of the Lord of Jade Platform meant.
That was what she had learned in her life. Moreover, after sleeping for tens of thousands of years, she had comprehended a supreme Great Dao like Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu.
If Lian Feng successfully inherited this Great Dao, it would mean that she had already broken the traditional restrictions and walked a new sunny path like him.
Although Ye Qiu didn't know if the path Lian Feng took could truly break through the shackles of the Longevity Calamity, it was definitely the best compared to the traditional Great Dao.
Because reality had already proven that the original one could not work at all.
Moreover, Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu, the Lord of Jade Platform, and even Ming Yue and Linglong's previous lives had already proven that that path was impossible.
After spending tens of thousands of years of precipitation, Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu and the Lord of Jade Platform chose another method to leave behind their inheritance in an attempt to unlock the profundity of the Longevity Calamity.
As for Ming Yue and Linglong, they chose to reincarnate and cultivate again. Although their actions were different, there was not much difference in essence.
Now that he heard that Lian Feng had successfully changed her cultivation, Ye Qiu couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. This meant that Lian Feng would continue to accompany him for a long time in the future.
