Filial piety: the supreme emperor

After finishing the back-stepping session in the hot spring, Lu Ran picked up the still sleeping little fox and returned to his residence hand in hand with Li Shishi.

In the following days, he was caught up in the busy affairs of the sect.

Although he has almost no free time, Lu Ran still takes time out to record every detail of his life by writing a diary.

It wasn't a question of formality or not, it was simply that he wanted to leave some memories, there was no other meaning.

At this moment, snowflakes were floating outside the house, and the cold wind brought gusts of coolness.

On the table, the candlelight flickered. The well-fed little fox curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly. It would burp occasionally, obviously having eaten too much.

"This time notation looks really weird, let's change it back to the original time format."

Lu Ran stroked the furry little creature in his arms, paused with the pen in his hand, and muttered something in a low voice.

Then he started recording again according to the previous time format.

[December 12, Winter Solstice, cloudy day. Today the sect disciples are undergoing a trial activity. This time it is my turn to lead the team, so I led them into the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range to fight with the monsters there in order to train their actual combat capabilities.

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the baptism of wind and rain. Except for life and death, even if they are injured, I can only watch calmly. Bleeding now is better than dying in the future. After all, everything is extremely harsh after embarking on the path of cultivation.

During this trial, we accidentally broke into a secret realm. After overcoming numerous obstacles, we obtained a carving technique called [Cloud Carving and Stone Carving], several drawings that were suspected to be chariot designs, and a half-damaged magic weapon.

The technique of [cloud carving] is actually very simple. I found it quite interesting, so I learned some of it. As for those drawings, judging from their appearance, it seems more appropriate to call them chariots. This may be an item left behind by an ancient power. Unfortunately, after years of vicissitudes, everything has gradually been worn away in the long river of time.

It is also worth mentioning that, except for me, Zixia Sect is almost entirely composed of female disciples. I don’t know why, but it’s probably because the sect’s skills are not suitable for male practice!

[On December 12, the one-week trial came to an end, and a new round of trials followed, this time led by Shishi. Out of concern, I followed secretly, and found that this girl actually led the disciples into the outer perimeter of Chiyan Mountain. Perhaps because the master had extracted the meaning of scorching flames from the lava in the earth's core before, the temperature of the fire snakes in Chiyan Mountain is no longer so terrifying.

I watched in amazement as Li Shishi rushed forward, killed several crabs at lightning speed, and started steaming the crabs using local ingredients. Only then did I understand why Shishi asked me for a special sauce before leaving.

However, an accident still happened... The little fox in my arms couldn't resist the temptation and ran forward to join the trial of eating fire crabs. I finally sighed and felt that I really shouldn't have come this time.

[The week-long trial ended, and there were almost no traces of fire crabs on the outskirts of Chiyan Mountain. The disciples who returned from the sect had obviously gained a lot of weight after the trial. This was a result I had not expected.

In addition, since the little fox became a three-tailed fox, I found that it can eat more and more. As long as it is a spiritual object or food with spiritual energy, it can't escape its mouth. I am not worried that it will become fat like a pig, but I am worried about whether I can afford its appetite in the future.

[January 1, sunny. As a true disciple of the sect, Uncle Xu arranged for me to explain the cultivation methods to many inner disciples, aiming to help them avoid detours. I told them my views: be diligent and hardworking, ask questions without shame, and avoid working in isolation.

This speech, which was like chicken soup for the soul, was recognized by many young warriors. However, when I returned to my residence at night, I found that many junior sisters with shining eyes were waiting there, claiming that they needed to discuss cultivation issues with me at night.

As a result, before I could say anything, the red-haired Shishi pushed them aside, saying that they disturbed my practice. I watched all this with a smile, feeling that the little piglet-like Shishi was growing up and learning to be considerate of others, and I felt quite relieved.

However, what was unexpected was that as soon as those eager-to-learn junior sisters left, Shishi immediately got into my bed and said she wanted to warm the bed for me. I had a blank expression on my face, and the joy in my heart disappeared in an instant. It seemed that everything just now was indeed an illusion.

[On January 1, it snowed heavily. I still needed to preach today, but compared to yesterday, I tactfully told the sisters in the sect to pay attention to the boundaries between men and women and not to violate etiquette. I also reminded them not to trust men's words easily.

After finishing the sermon and returning to my residence, I found that the sisters were no longer blocking the door, which made me feel very relieved and thought that today's teaching had achieved good results. However, just as I had this thought, I found a pile of letters under the door, which were full of words expressing love.

At that moment, I was completely stunned. I simply made a spicy hot pot to relieve my worries. Of course, I also invited the little foxes Yingying and Shishi to taste it together. At first, the human and the fox were not used to the spicy taste and their faces turned red. Gradually, they got used to the spicy feeling and began to fight for the food. As expected, most of the ingredients were eventually eaten by them.

"call……"

After finishing writing in his diary, Lu Ran let out a breath and looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window.

At some point, a charming and enchanting figure appeared in his mind.

Although the master had been in seclusion for less than a month, he felt as if it had been a long time.

Lu Ran sighed: "Maybe it's because I'm too filial."

He believed that the master had no ill intentions and was simply trying to fulfill his filial duty.

After all, if one wants to activate the dog cheat and achieve the position of the Immortal Emperor, one must fulfill the condition of perfect filial piety.

As his thoughts raced, Lu Ran picked up the soft and warm little fox and prepared to rest.

At this moment, he found that his communication jade slip was flashing, indicating that the sender was Aunt Rong!

Deepen your spiritual perception, and lines of text appear:

[Ran'er, if you have free time tomorrow, come to Xiaoxiang Yayuan! ]

The message was extremely concise, without even any unnecessary embellishments.

However, for some reason, Lu Ran seemed to feel a hint of resentment and a unique emotion that was difficult to express in words.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and his expression froze for a moment: "Uh! I forgot to tell Aunt Rong."

He had promised Aunt Rong that he would teach her sketching in his spare time.

But there have been too many things going on in the sect recently. In addition to daily practice, he has been busy with various trials, preaching, sect missions, etc., so much so that he has completely forgotten about this matter.

"I wonder if Aunt Rong will be angry with me?"

Lu Ran smiled bitterly and replied to Aunt Rong's message with his fingers.

First of all, I sincerely apologize for my negligence and breach of promise;

Then he explained that he had been busy with various sect affairs recently, which led to the violation of the previous agreement;

Finally, he gave Aunt Rong a clear answer that he would go to Xiaoxiang Yayuan to keep the appointment tomorrow.

Throughout the response process, Lu Ran always acted like a junior, and his words were full of sincere respect for his elders.
