Filial piety: the supreme emperor

"Okay!" Lu Ran nodded and pointed.

Immediately, the spiritual barrier in the fish basket was lifted, and sword energy filled with spring vitality enveloped the two red and black spiritual cod.

The injured area was glowing with a vibrant green light and healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Almost instantly, the two cod fish recovered as before!

They also noticed this change and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, and finally turned their gaze to the young man outside.

"Let's go back!"

"You better be careful next time, don't let anyone catch you."

Lu Ran smiled slightly, picked up the fish basket and walked to the lake, then bent over and put the two cod into the water.

Even if Aunt Rong hadn't asked him to do so, he would have released the two red and black cod.

Even though he spent two thousand spirit stones to buy these two fish, and judging from the whimpering appearance of the little fox, it was very likely that there was some opportunity hidden in them.

But so what?

If he wants to release the animals, he does so. This is what he wants to do and it is also the path he wants to take.

This is an opportunity that belongs to him, Lu Ran, and even others cannot take it away; this opportunity does not belong to him, and he cannot get it even if he pursues it forcefully.

The two red and black cod that returned to the lake did not leave immediately. Instead, they looked at Lu Ran and Qu Qirong, as if they wanted to remember what they looked like.

They looked at them deeply for a while, then jumped out of the water, and then swam towards the depths of the lake.

The little fox Yingying looked a little anxious when he saw this scene, and wanted to chase after them and catch them back.

However, Lu Ran, who was faster, grabbed the back of her neck.

"Okay, Yingying, don't bother with them anymore!"

The little fox hesitated for a while, and finally did not chase after it. It just drooped its furry little ears and felt inexplicably sad.

In fact, after Lu Ran told her not to have any thoughts about the two cods, she no longer had any intention of eating them.

The reason why I was so eager to keep them was that I just wanted to have two lingcod to play with when I was bored.

Just like Xiaobai (the mind-controlling poison mother), you can tease her a little when you have nothing to do...

Lu Ran smiled helplessly and comforted her: "Don't be sad, I'll give you twenty bottles of top-grade purple jadeite when I get back, is that okay?"

Hearing this, the little fox's sadness disappeared instantly, and he looked happy. He took out a bag of snacks and purple chalcedony from the ring and began to enjoy this happiness.

She had tasted purple chalcedony of high, medium and low quality, and knew that the high quality ones tasted better and contained richer spiritual energy.

Exchanging two cod for twenty bottles of top-grade purple chalcedony should be considered a good deal.

Qu Qirong looked at Lu Ran with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Now her sketching skills are good enough to depict the beautiful scenery before her.

But she was not willing to do so, because she was used to her own Ran'er hugging her and guiding her in painting.

Only in this way could she feel the warm feeling that belonged exclusively to the two of them.

Naturally, the filial Lu Ran would not refuse the request of his elders.

He casually set up a ban around the Dharma Boat to block the outside world's sight and detection, then walked into the cabin and painted with Aunt Rong.

As for the little fox Yingying, it sat at the front of the Dharma Boat, using its three furry tails as hands. It held food in one hand and purple chalcedony in the other, eating with relish, and looking out from time to time to enjoy the interesting sight.

"Ran'er, do you think it's okay to paint the beautiful scenery of Xilin Lake like this?"

Wearing a white snow-white dress and a mink fur coat, Qu Qirong concentrated on describing the scenery before her.

"It could be more refined!"

Lu Ran nodded, held Aunt Rong's soft and boneless hand, and gave guidance from the side.

In order to ensure that the beautiful scenery of Xilin Lake did not deviate from the sight, he hugged her from behind, with his left hand around her graceful waist and his right hand helping to adjust and correct.

Because they were very close, his nose was filled with Aunt Rong's fragrance, and when they spoke, their breath would gently brush against each other's cheeks.

The same thing happened to Qu Qirong. Feeling the warm embrace of her own Ran'er and the touch of her skin between her fingers, her beautiful face was flushed with a charming blush.

She felt a sweet and warm feeling flowing into her heart, stirring up ripples and making her gradually intoxicated.

Of course, after the previous intimate contact, even if there were ripples in her heart, she would not lose her composure as before, because this kind of intimate contact has become a habit.

At this moment, more and more people gathered outside Xilin Lake.

Some are couples who want to see if they can really meet the legendary Lingcod King, hoping to receive his blessing;

Some are groups of independent cultivators and sect disciples, all of whom come here in search of that opportunity;

There are also some wealthy businessmen who travel from afar to Xilin Lake just to witness the beautiful sight of the dancing flying cod.

“I wonder if I can see the legendary King of Cod when the flying cod dances this time!”

"The story about the Lingcod King only exists in legends. No one can be sure whether he really exists."

"Everything depends on one's fate. If there is fate, one can meet even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between us. If there is no fate, one will pass by each other even if they are close to each other."

"Daoyou, are you calculating marriage fate?"

For a while, all kinds of discussions arose one after another, and everyone couldn't hold back their tempers and started chatting here and there.

"Aunt Rong, the water surface here can be made clear and transparent by combining the real and the imaginary."

"For example, you can draw a blurred reflection outline..."

Lu Ran didn't care about the discussions of the people around him, and didn't even listen to them. He just immersed himself in the painting in front of him.

Gentle words rang in her ears, and Qu Qirong's eyes unconsciously fell on Lu Ran's face, unwilling to move away for a long time.

This was the first time she looked at her own Ran'er so carefully.

My gaze slowly slid from his distinct black and white eyes... to his nose and cheeks, and then to the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

That smile was like a ray of sunshine after the rain that penetrated the dark clouds, warm and comfortable.

Time passed quietly, and the only sounds left in my ears were the rubbing sounds of the paintbrush on the paper and the voice of my own son.

Qu Qirong's thoughts were wandering and her vision gradually became blurred.

She recalled the dream she had last night. In the dream, she and he were in this warm scene, as if they could feel each other's presence and slowly approach each other.

"Aunt Rong?"

As if noticing something was wrong with Aunt Rong, Lu Ran raised his head and looked at her.

The next moment, he was stunned——

It was not because Aunt Rong was distracted, but because the corner of his mouth unexpectedly touched something soft and cool.

"Well……"

Qu Qirong's delicate body trembled slightly, and she refocused her attention, just staring blankly at the person in front of her.

Perhaps because of her previous experience of actively cooperating with the guided refining, she almost instinctively closed her beautiful eyes, wrapped her arms around Lu Ran's neck, and gently responded to his kiss.

That strange emotion was swaying, and she felt as if she had become a fish falling into the water, free and happy.

This was the first time that Qu Qirong kissed her own daughter Ran'er so passionately.

It was not because the mind-controlling poison had been removed, nor because the evil of the sleeping curse had been refined, but because his emotions were difficult to control.
