Chapter 460: 460. Guard against all, but the thief within the family is hardest to defend against.
Li Pei’s expression was stern as she raced rapidly through the mountains.
The technique she utilized was peculiar; the air she broke through would spin and cancel itself out, allowing her to move at remarkable speeds without a trace of sound.
This was a movent technique from the Joyful Sect’s ‘Great Joy in the Dance of Heavenly Demons.’ The divine skills were infinitely marvelous, seemingly tailor-made for won; several sisters including Yu Yani made huge gains after practicing it.
At the sa ti, Li Pei also lded her spirit with the world according to the secret thods of the Heavenly Demon Dance, diluting and dissolving her presence to avoid detection.
If she was overthinking things, she could also leave quietly.
However, she quickly realized her guess was not wrong… The cries of a woman, as though lanting yet exulting, could be heard from afar.
The voice was filled with the liberating joy of ultimate relief, bursting with heartfelt delight.
Li Pei approached more closely, her face cold, listening to the people inside talk.
“Lu Xiaozi, close your eyes; don’t look at .”
“Why?”
“Your eyes are full of mockery, you must be laughing at !”
“Not at all, I’m admiring you~”
The voices in conversation belonged to the two most important people in Li Pei’s life; she understood everything in an instant.
She restrained herself from losing her composure and peered through the window to see two familiar figures: it was indeed Lu Yao and Yu Yani.
Lu Yao was shirtless with his back turned, his expression unclear. Whereas Yu Yani had a face of feigned anger mixed with joy, her shyness boundless, her eyes and brows brimming with the signs of spring.
For the first ti in her life, Li Pei saw her master with such an expression! The once aloof Moon Fairy no longer existed; all that was left was a delicate and beautiful woman.
She seed a bit dazed, her gem-like eyes misty, as if they were about to drip tears.
Witnessing this scene with her own eyes, Li Pei clutched her chest and cried out in pain, “You can guard against the unforeseen, but it’s hard to guard against a traitor within…”
Imrsed in the blissful mont, the couple inside only then noticed soone had approached. Besides Li Pei using secret thods, her lack of hostility was also a key reason.
Yu Yani turned pale and exclaid, “Peipei, how did you co here… We, I…”
As she spoke, she used scattered clothing to cover her body.
Caught in the fervor of their passionate encounter, pieces of clothing they hadn’t managed to remove in ti still clung to their bodies—Yu Yani even had her shoes on, which didn’t seem that inappropriate…
But with her legs hoisted over shoulders, what good would that do?
Li Pei bowed her head, her tears on the brink of falling.
The Liao Family Sisters were simple-minded and too shy to manage Lu Yao; if it were not for Li Pei’s strict vigilance, their ho would have long been filled with concubines.
She had labored to maintain order for so long, only to find herself betrayed by the person she trusted most.
In truth, she was not opposed to her husband taking Yu Yani; it was the backstabbing by those she trusted most that had her feeling very unhappy.
At this mont, Yu Yani didn’t know what to say and could only cover her face with her clothes, playing the ostrich.
Lu Yao was about to shalessly say sothing when Li Pei had already entered the room.
She first carefully removed Yu Yani’s shoes from Lu Yao’s shoulders and gently placed them on the ground.
Then she pinched Lu Yao’s waist fiercely and glared at him indignantly.
After doing all this, Li Pei turned and walked out of the room, considerately closing the door and windows behind her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The room fell quiet. After a long while, Yu Yani dropped the clothing from her face.
Her face was so red it reached her neck; it was hot enough to fry an egg. “What does Peipei an by this?”
Lu Yao rubbed the pinched area on his waist and said, “Her helping you take off your shoes ans she consents to our relationship, but she still harbors resentnt. Don’t worry, I have ways to coax her.”
“You’re still talking! I’m so ashad I can’t face anyone!”
Yu Yani pushed at Lu Yao, “Get up quickly; I have to leave and never co back.”
“No, no, no,” Lu Yao couldn’t let her leave, “I’m about to embark on a great venture and need your help. You’re the person I trust the most!”
Yu Yani turned her head away and stopped struggling.
Lu Yao bent down and kissed her, saying, “What’s done is done, let’s enjoy the present.”
Yu Yani seized the opportunity to bite hard on his shoulder, drawing blood.
~~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Yu Yani still got up at dawn to practice her breathing exercises.
Being at the Flesh Realm, even after a busy night, she showed no signs of fatigue or discomfort, feeling refreshed and full of energy.
Her mind in particular was clear and bright, like a dusty pearl polished anew, and her Spirit Refining Stage cultivation had risen dramatically!
“Blocking is indeed not as good as releasing… Suppressing it all the ti is not the best strategy.”
Yu Yani looked at her even more translucent skin with mixed feelings.
Then, she waved toward the sky. Ping An imdiately swooped down and landed beside her.
The superpower to summon the Spiritual Sparrowhawk had returned!
Yu Yani perford the ‘Art of the Dragon Slayer Manual’, ticulously massaging Ping An, Ji Xiang, and Ru Yi in turn.
The True Qi of the Jin Wulou Realm was exceptionally rich, and the three sparrowhawks closed their eyes in supre comfort, their feathers becoming even glossier.
After a while, the Lu family got up as well.
Li Pei ca from afar, and just as Yu Yani was about to stand up and say sothing, the two shared a bond that was incredibly close, akin to that of master and apprentice, mother and daughter, and sisters.
But Li Pei turned her head and walked away, showing no desire to interact.
It was the sa at breakfast; Li Pei didn’t even glance at her master.
Usually, she sat next to Yu Yani to eat, but this ti she settled next to Liao Ya.
The atmosphere at the table was quite strange; the Liao Family Sisters were completely puzzled, but thankfully, the delicious food alleviated much of the tension.
The main dish was a plate of “Purple Dragon”, which was scarce and looked like pickled vegetable strips.
However, it was made from the blood, not the flesh, of a thousand eels, an extrely laborious and famous dicinal al known far and wide for its restorative properties.
Yu Yani stood up to serve Li Pei a chopstick full, but Li Pei showed no reaction and just kept on eating silently.
Lu Yao smiled and said, “The Wudang Sect has put in effort, but it’s ti for us to leave. Let’s say goodbye to Sect Leader Zhang and Daoist Zhou after breakfast.”
The sisters had no objections, and Lu Yao added:
“Oh, and I have more good news. I’ve successfully opened the Tanzhong Aperture Points, and with Grandmaster Yu’s help, I expect to reach the Jin Wulou Realm very soon.”
At these words, delight spread across the faces of Li Pei and the Liao Family Sisters!
Liao Ya was the first to exclaim, “Junior brother is impressive!”
Her excitent even turned her little ears red, “We are not lacking in gold, so won’t you soon step into the Golden Body Realm! Great Grandmaster, indeed!”
Liao Qe swung her small fists joyously and said, “Sister, our progress isn’t slow either. When the whole family becos great grandmasters, let’s see if the foreigners dare to bully us again!”
In a few words, the suppressed atmosphere completely disappeared, and everyone’s appetite grew.
Liao Ya finished a bowl of rice and looked up, “By the way, junior brother, weren’t you saying that you had so ‘big moves’ upon this return?”
Lu Yao nodded and said, “Indeed. I plan to unify the Shun Dynasty into a single force. Then, I’ll wipe out Izumo and Rakshasa, and take over Einheit and nes.”
He spoke lightly, but the content was explosively significant.
Li Pei, who had been keeping silent, now gasped, “You, you want to… Are you aiming to conquer the world?”
“Pretty much. Just to make the world a little more to our liking,” Lu Yao slowly savored a bite of “Purple Dragon” and continued, “As they say—achieving great power allows one to bring benefit to the world, and I guess it’s about ti. But this is a long-term project that will require your help.”
The sisters quickly voiced their support:
“My lord has always been ambitious, how can we lag behind!”
“Junior brother, we will certainly assist you with all our might!”
Four pairs of bright eyes were fixated on Lu Yao, alight with fascination.
Li Pei’s excitent was so great that she couldn’t even keep her feet still, repeatedly tapping them on the ground—how many more surprises was her lord going to bring her!
