Filial piety: the supreme emperor

In a small town, in an elegant box on the third floor of a teahouse.

In front of the box window, stood a mature woman wearing a purple court dress and a lavender hollow veil, overlooking a corner of the street.

Following her gaze, you can see a young man and a mature lady strolling leisurely on the street, chatting and laughing from time to time, appearing to be very harmonious and intimate.

"Ran'er is not only my disciple who I have raised for sixteen years, but he is also like my half son. I will not give him to you!"

The woman narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth under the veil, and the curves of her plump figure wrapped in the palace skirt were graceful and attractive.

She is Lu Ran's master Ning Qian. In Lu Ran's eyes, she is both a master and a mother-like existence; and to Ning Qian, Lu Ran is just as important. In addition to being a disciple, she even regards Lu Ran as her own son.

The wife of the clan leader, who was sworn brothers with the Princess of Zhenbei, secretly recognized her beloved disciple and took him away while she was in seclusion.

As for why Lu Ran agreed to move into Xiaoxiang Yayuan, Ning Qian knew it very well. It must have been Qu Qirong who persuaded him under the banner of being an elder.

Faced with such a challenging behavior, Ning Qian naturally had to respond.

Having already severely punished his own apprentice, isn't it time to give that elder a taste of his own medicine in return?

At this moment, there was a "creaky" sound, the door was pushed open, and a female practitioner walked in.

"Senior, I have followed your instructions and arranged for the two of them to stay in the top-level guest rooms of Yanyu Pavilion."

"Those spirit stones on the table are your reward."

Ning Qian didn't turn around, but just said something softly.

"Thank you, senior!"

The female practitioner's face was filled with joy. She bowed respectfully, then quickly picked up the bag of spirit stones and left the room.

She had never expected that this time she would not only be able to transfer her last two pre-booked rooms, but also unexpectedly earn some extra income.

This income does not need to be shared with anyone else and belongs entirely to her.

If Lu Ran were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize this female practitioner, because she was the "scalper" who had actively promoted her products before.

After the female practitioner left, Ning Qian still stood in front of the window, looking at the red glow gradually emerging in the sky, and smiled charmingly: "It's a long night. It seems that tonight will be another sleepless night. It really makes people look forward to it!"

……

In the luxury guest room of the Misty Rain Pavilion, Lu Ran frowned, looking at the two red and black cod in the fish basket, and muttered to himself:

"These two lingcod don't seem to have anything special about them, so why does my cat always want to eat them?"

Since he came back, he has studied it carefully with full curiosity, but still found nothing.

Logically speaking, judging by the enthusiasm that the little fox Yingying showed towards these two red and black lingcod, they must be very extraordinary.

One of the reasons why Lu Ran bought these two cod was precisely for this reason.

But as he looked left and right, it seemed that the most unique thing about these two cod was the small piece of whiskers they had grown.

"Why do you always want to eat them?"

Lu Ran thought for a moment but still couldn't understand the reason, so he turned to ask the little fox who was lying beside the fish basket and drooling.

"Hmm?" The little fox looked at him in confusion, as if asking, do you need a reason to want to eat?

Just like she wanted to eat snacks and purple chalcedony, she wanted to eat them because she wanted to, and there was no need for any reason.

"In other words, ever since you sensed the aura of these two cods, you instinctively wanted to eat them?"

Although the little fox's answer was not clear, Lu Ran still felt that he seemed to have grasped some key points.

The little fox likes to eat snacks and likes purple chalcedony because she has an instinctive desire for spiritual objects and spiritual energy.

Based on this, we can speculate that if we eat these two cod, would it mean that we can obtain a large amount of spiritual energy or get other benefits?

Seeing Lu Ran lost in thought, the little fox's black and white eyes turned, then his eyes lit up and he slowly lay down on the table.

She first yawned cutely, then stuck out her pink little tongue to lick Lu Ran's palm, and then raised her head and rubbed his chest coquettishly.

Her series of coquettish and cute movements were extremely smooth, natural and coordinated, without any sense of incongruity.

Seeing such a furry little creature acting coquettishly towards him, Lu Ran couldn't help but smile, and reached out to stroke the soft fur.

"It feels really good, and it feels healing." He said meaningfully. "It would be even better if you could get into my arms and let me feel the softness of your tail more carefully."

"嘤嘤!"

Hearing this, the little fox immediately crawled into his arms, with its three tails wagging behind it, as if waiting for his caress.

"One tail is equivalent to one healing power, and three tails are equivalent to three healing powers."

"Oh, your tail feels really good to touch."

Lu Ran stretched out his hand, felt the softness of the three fox tails, and couldn't help but praise them.

In his previous life, the reason why he liked to keep cats was largely because of this healing feeling.
