Once a beginning is established.
Most things become simpler.
When the earth mountain left the sea area, a village appeared in sight.
Ao Qing could already hold both Xiang Yu and Jiang Xue in his arms.
He cast an invisibility spell on the entire earth mountain and himself, looking down at the beauty in his embrace.
Xiang Yu, being more lively, nestled in Ao Qing's arms, her little mouth chattering non-stop.
This was her first time leaving the Laoshang territory.
Everything in the outside world felt new to her.
Every time she asked a question, she would look up at Ao Qing, her clear eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Ao Qing answered all her questions; no matter how tricky they were, they were easily resolved in his presence.
This made Xiang Yu's admiration for him soar, her little hands tightly hugging Ao Qing's waist.
In contrast to Xiang Yu.
Jiang Xue's temperament was undoubtedly much cooler; even when she felt confused about many things, she didn't cling to Ao Qing like Xiang Yu did.
When Xiang Yu was asking questions, she would perk up her ears to listen.
Ao Qing listened to Xiang Yu's inquiries but did not forget the other woman in his embrace.
Taking advantage of Xiang Yu's happy moment of looking down.
Ao Qing's hand around Jiang Xue's slender waist began to act out of line.
Jiang Xue's delicate body stiffened, cautiously glancing at Xiang Yu, then shyly pinching Ao Qing's lower back with her small hand.
Her nature was already aloof, and it was quite difficult for her to reach this level of intimacy.
Now Ao Qing was still in front of her sister...
Jiang Xue's pretty face flushed slightly, instinctively understanding what stimulation meant.
Xiang Yu did not notice the little actions of the other two.
She saw a beast moving through the mountains and forests and hugged Ao Qing's arm, asking him to explain.
Ao Qing smiled and said that the beast was called a monkey, and he kindly explained the differences between various monkeys.
Xiang Yu listened, happily tightening her grip on Ao Qing's hand.
On the other side, in Jiang Xue's embrace.
She bit her lip.
She tried to resist.
But the man holding her.
Instead, he pulled her small hand.
Continuing his previous actions.
The situation suddenly turned into her leading the way.
Jiang Xue was forced to give up her resistance.
She pressed her pink lips together, lowering her eyes.
The light gauze of her skirt brushed against her delicate thighs.
Being naturally ticklish, Jiang Xue instinctively pressed closer to the man beside her.
The man beside her seemed completely unaware of this.
Jiang Xue bit her lip, knowing that Ao Qing was doing it on purpose.
Strangely.
Jiang Xue found that deep down, she didn't actually dislike it.
On the contrary.
There was a strange flutter in her heart, filling her with desire.
Ao Qing was dealing with Xiang Yu while teasing Jiang Xue.
Suddenly.
He felt the woman in red in his arms stiffen all over.
Ao Qing was taken aback, then laughed, pulling Jiang Xue's waist closer, allowing the weakened woman to lean against his chest.
Xiang Yu curiously leaned over.
“Strange, what's wrong with my sister?”
Jiang Xue regained some strength and was able to stand on her own, using both hands to support herself against Ao Qing's chest.
Ao Qing freed his left hand to pat Jiang Xue's back while explaining to Xiang Yu:
“Xue'er is flying for the first time; she might not be used to it. Just let her rest for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu looked at Jiang Xue with concern.
“Sister, how are you feeling now?”
Jiang Xue glanced at Xiang Yu, then at the man beside her with a mischievous smile, and sighed helplessly.
“I'm fine now; I just felt a bit dizzy earlier.”
Only then did Xiang Yu breathe a sigh of relief, hugging Jiang Xue's head and massaging her acupoints.
Once Jiang Xue fully recovered.
Ao Qing pointed to the town that appeared in the sight of the three:
“That is Yuhang.”
Xiang Yu and Jiang Xue, one a Peony Flower Spirit and the other a Winter Jasmine Spirit, were both land-based plants.
Therefore, Ao Qing did not take them to the water palace beneath the lake but brought them to his Dragon Lord Temple.
He had just settled in the backyard of the Dragon Lord Temple.
At the entrance of the backyard, the Yan family, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately handed over a handkerchief to wipe sweat.
After casually wiping his hands.
Ao Qing stood in the backyard of the Dragon Lord Temple and began to cast spells.
As his magical power surged, a huge crack suddenly opened in the ground of the Dragon Lord Temple's backyard.
Yan was somewhat curious and was about to ask when she noticed the sky suddenly darkening.
She looked up and saw a massive earth mountain descending from the sky, slowly landing on the crack Ao Qing had opened.
Yan was dumbfounded, standing behind Ao Qing, not daring to speak.
Before long, a garden filled with flowering trees appeared, replacing the original wasteland.
The garden was filled with various peonies, interspersed with tall trees.
Among them, a peony that stood a丈 high was particularly eye-catching.
Although it was mid-winter, the branches of the peony were all bare.
But anyone could imagine how stunning this peony would be when it bloomed.
Yan approached Ao Qing and respectfully asked:
“My lord, will this garden be sealed off in the future?”
Yan knew very well that anything brought back by Ao Qing himself must be of great value.
Since that was the case, she couldn't allow any outsiders to enter here.
Ao Qing thought for a moment, clapped his hands, called over Jiang Xue and Xiang Yu, and pointed at Yan:
“This is Lady Yan, my temple steward. You two will stay here for the next few days. Once you are familiar with the environment, I will take you to my water palace.”
Xiang Yu cheerfully pulled Jiang Xue along, greeted Yan, and introduced herself.
Once the two went to familiarize themselves with their new home.
Yan quietly said:
“My lord, a fox spirit claiming to be Bai Ling is here to see you, waiting in the guest room.”
