Filial piety: the supreme emperor

In the next few days, in order to show his filial piety, Lu Ran naturally stayed by Aunt Rong's side all the time.

He personally taught Aunt Rong how to do "cloud carving and stone carving" and told her some interesting stories from time to time.

In this process, their family relationship is gradually warming up under the witness of the drops of filial piety.

The little fox Yingying has been living very happily since moving into Xiaoxiang Yayuan and doesn't want to go back.

Thanks to its super cute appearance, Aunt Rong, Ling'er and Qing'er all love it very much.

So, everyone kept feeding it all kinds of its favorite spiritual foods, and even took out many delicacies that spiritual beasts liked to eat from the Lingbao Pavilion and gave them to it.

The little fox simply couldn't carry all these things, but Aunt Rong specially found a storage ring for it and made it into a jade pendant to hang on its fluffy little neck.

As a result, the little fox was so happy that he didn't know which way was which. Whenever he was hungry, he just waved his little paw and the food would appear in front of him instantly.

"If it keeps going like this, it will become as fat as a pig sooner or later!"

Through the window, Lu Ran looked at the little fox lying on the warm ground eating snacks and occasionally stretching out its claws to tease the koi in the water, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, when the little fox wanted to eat snacks, he always tried his best to please him. Now, as long as he acted cute and coquettishly to Aunt Rong and the two maids, everything would be at his fingertips, just like being kept by a rich woman.

It seems that not only people can change, but foxes can change too!

"Aunt Rong, what do you think of my carving?"

Qu Qirong was holding a slate with an image of a young man carved on it. It was her junior, Lu Ran.

In order to make the Cloud Carved Stone Book more complete, Qu Qirong has been concentrating on studying the [Cloud Carved Stone Carvings] most of the time these days.

"Aunt Rong, you've made rapid progress and have almost mastered it!"

Holding Qu Qirong's slender hand, Lu Ran smiled slightly and loosened his grip a little.

“But I always felt it wasn’t good enough.”

However, Qu Qirong shook her head, seeming dissatisfied.

Lu Ran was a little confused: "Is it still the same as before?"

"Yeah!" Qu Qirong's face flushed slightly and she answered softly.

In Lu Ran's opinion, Aunt Rong was already qualified, so why would she still feel that she wasn't doing well enough? Despite this, he still held tightly to those soft, boneless hands.

Because stone carving requires precise force control, the two of them worked almost close together. Qu Qirong sat on a sandalwood chair in front of the table, with the stone slab on the table, holding the carving knife. Lu Ran sat beside her, holding her soft hand with his right hand, and their faces were very close.

The tip of his nose was filled with the rich fragrance of Aunt Rong, and even through the clothes, he could feel the fullness and firmness of Aunt Rong's body. At the same time, Qu Qirong half nestled in Lu Ran's arms, and every time she spoke, her hot breath would blow on his cheek.

Ever since she finished painting the picture of the first clear day after the snow, Qu Qirong realized that she and Lu Ran were too close. She repeatedly warned herself not to continue like this. However, whenever she saw Lu Ran's familiar face and heard the gentle and kind voice calling her "Auntie Rong", she would forget everything else.

"Aunt Rong, are you worried about something?"

At this time, Lu Ran noticed that she was distracted and called her softly.

In recent days, he found that Aunt Rong's state of daydreaming was becoming more and more frequent, sometimes when she was eating, and sometimes when he was teaching Aunt Rong [Cloud Carving and Stone Carving].

Lu Ran guessed that Aunt Rong might be hiding something.

As soon as these words fell, Qu Qirong's heart trembled, and she hurriedly denied: "Just now I was just thinking about the battle for the leader of the two sects!"

"Aunt Rong, don't worry too much. Anyway, the mind-controlling Gu has been cleared from your body now."

"No matter which lineage becomes the leader of Lingbao Sect, it will not have any influence on you. At worst, we can just leave!"

Lu Ran thought for a while and comforted Aunt Rong.

He knew that Aunt Rong had a unique physique, and that she could gain great benefits by absorbing spiritual energy. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for practitioners. In addition, Aunt Rong was already a beauty on the list of the most beautiful women, with a mature and beautiful noble temperament, and the label of the former wife of the sect master. Whether it was Prime Minister Cao or others, they would have the idea of ​​taking her for themselves.

Qu Qirong had a complicated expression and said in a faint voice: "Ran'er, if Aunt Rong turned into a vicious bad woman, would you hate me?"

"No!" Lu Ran gave the answer without hesitation.

Qu Qirong stopped carving and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because I believe in Aunt Rong!"

"Even if I was cruel and ruthless, it was because I had no choice."

Qu Qirong clenched her teeth and asked nervously, "What if it wasn't forced, but it was just like that?"

"No matter whether you are gentle and considerate or cruel and ruthless, in my heart, Aunt Rong will always be the Aunt Rong who loves me."

"I won't have any hateful emotions!"

Lu Ran smiled slightly and spoke frankly about his inner thoughts.

It seemed that someone had asked him this question before, and his answer was always the same.

Looking at the clear eyes and serious expression of the young man in front of her, Qu Qirong knew that he was not lying and that these were his sincere words.

She couldn't accurately describe her feelings at the moment: she felt satisfied and happy, but also had more indescribable emotions. This emotion had been quietly growing since Lu Ran taught her to paint, and until today, it had become deeper and deeper, deep enough to affect her thoughts.

At this moment, their eyes met, a young man and a mature and beautiful woman, their breath blending together, and they could see themselves in each other's eyes.

In an instant, the atmosphere became more ambiguous.

Qu Qirong bit her red lips, thinking of the time when she buttoned his shirt that night, and a hint of longing flashed in her beautiful eyes. Lu Ran looked at Aunt Rong's plump and tempting red lips, and also remembered the scene when he brushed the snowflakes off her hair that day.

Their breathing became heavier and their heartbeats quickened.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Qing'er's voice came: "Madam, Qu Yun wants to see you!"

At this moment, the two separated quickly as if they had been electrocuted.

Qu Qirong suppressed the charming feeling in her heart and said calmly: "Take her to the hall, I will be there soon!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Qing'er agreed, and the footsteps gradually disappeared in the distance.

"Ran'er, wait here for a while!"

"I'll be back after I finish dealing with their business."

After saying this, the beautiful lady with a rosy face left the room as if she was running away...
