Filial piety: the supreme emperor

Whenever it is quiet late at night, people who are alone often let their thoughts drift towards their distant home while looking at the bright moon.

Bathed in the soft moonlight, Lu Ran felt a strong sense of homesickness surge in his heart.

As if passing through many illusions in an instant, he felt his body become lighter, passing through the confusing mist and returning to the familiar little village.

With a feeling of homesickness, he took a deep breath, took natural steps, and walked slowly along the country road.

The ground beneath my feet was wet from early spring rains and had not yet been hardened with cement.

The fields are still filled with the fresh fragrance after the rain, mixed with the scent of soil.

In this way, Lu Ran went deeper and deeper.

Gradually, his eagerness to return home made him stop walking slowly and start running quickly.

"Tap...tap..."

As the footsteps became more rapid, sparkling water splashed on the ground, reflecting the figure of a young boy who was eager to find his home.

His breathing was a little rapid, his expression was complicated, and his forehead and cheeks were covered with fine beads of sweat.

He walked through the peach blossom forest and smelled the intoxicating fragrance of peach blossoms.

He crossed the stream and listened to the sound of the flowing water.

Finally, Lu Ran passed through one house after another and came to a piece of land that was completely free of weeds and extremely fertile.

There is a house in front of me with a wooden door in front of it.

Filled with anxiety, he pushed open the wooden door, but stopped at the door helplessly and did not take another step forward.

Yes, from beginning to end, he has always been a lonely existence.

Can you still call a place where you are alone home?

"Ran'er, why don't you go in?"

At this moment, a gentle and pleasant voice came to my ears.

Lu Ran looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a lavender cheongsam and smiling happily standing in front of the door.

She took his hand and led him into the house.

Although the house is small, it is extremely clean and warm.

She was like his mother, hugging his cold body, caring for him and dispelling the haze deep in his heart.

A smile bloomed on the beautiful woman's face and a maternal light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She held the boy in her arms and sang a soothing lullaby softly like a mother.

Lu Ran felt like he had returned to his real home, where he and she were!

The singing voice floated into my ears, and I felt the love and care of a mother. The tiredness and loss disappeared instantly, and were replaced by full happiness and satisfaction.

In the motherly embrace, Lu Ran slowly closed his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he breathed steadily.

Looking at him, the beautiful woman leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss on the side of his cheek.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ran seemed to wake up from his dream.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Master Ning Qian's face, which was as beautiful as peach blossoms, and her beautiful eyes, which were filled with maternal tenderness and moist gaze.

He took a deep breath, his nose filled with the rich fragrance from the mature and beautiful woman, mixed with the faint and refreshing scent of peach blossoms.

Ning Qian buried her head on his shoulder, looking charming, as if she had just fallen from the clouds, and asked lazily: "Ran'er, did you have any realization just now?"

"Yeah!" Lu Ran hugged his master tightly, feeling the mature and beautiful woman's extremely charming posture, and smiled with relief: "I understand the meaning of home!"

"What does it mean?" Ning Qian enjoyed his closeness and dependence. Her beautiful fingers slid into his palm, and her white jade fingers slowly fit into his finger gaps. The two hands were tightly clasped.

Facing her, Lu Ran slowly expressed his feelings: "I didn't have a home before, because I was always alone."

"But it's different now. I have a master who will tolerate me and love me."

"You guided me forward when I was lost, showed me concern and care when I was tired and lonely, and helped me release all the negative emotions until they were completely released."

"This is my...home!"

For the past sixteen years, he was still obsessed with his past life, obsessed with why others had their own homes but he didn't.

Even if he died in an accident and was reincarnated into this world, I'm afraid no one would be sad about his departure.

But now, Lu Ran finally understood!

What's the point of clinging to these things?

The past life is ultimately a passing cloud, and the present life is the real thing.

Here he has his caring master, his adorable junior sister, Aunt Rong, Fourth Aunt, the little fox, and all the people related to him.

Why bother worrying about things in your past life?

"Ran'er's state of mind has improved, and he is one step closer to becoming a king!"

Ning Qian smiled widely, her eyes wandering, feeling happy for her apprentice's improved state of mind.

She had already vaguely discovered that Lu Ran had a knot in his heart, or a trace of obsession.

This obsession is very special. It seems illusory, but it actually exists.

She had worried that if her beloved disciple integrated his state of mind and external perception to reach the king-level realm, it would affect him.

Now that this obsession has disappeared, Ning Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Lu Ran stared blankly at the beautiful face of his master in front of him.

Equally beautiful and charming, equally radiating the radiance of maternal love.

Gradually, the beautiful woman who led him into the house in his dream just now overlapped with the beautiful woman in front of him.

Noticing his strangeness, Ning Qian gently stroked his cheek and asked with her lips slightly opened: "What's wrong, Ran'er?"

Lu Ran did not hide anything and told about his dream: "I just had a strange dream. In the dream, I dreamed of Master..."

"It turns out that Ran'er missed me in his dreams. But is it possible that what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night?"

Ning Qian smiled charmingly, looked at the mess on the table and the obvious mottled marks on the palace skirt, and said these words meaningfully.

After hearing this, Lu Ran felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

All of this was caused when he and his master were practicing their supernatural powers together.

Including the time when he reviewed the jade slips before and this time, [Yuan Yang Reflux Technique] has been practiced twice.

Ning Qian's beautiful eyes sparkled with watery ripples. She leaned close to Lu Ran's ear and whispered softly, "Ran'er, you just practiced your magical powers. Do you need to exercise your body?"

Exercise?

Lu Ran remembered the secret realm that his master had just mentioned and nodded subconsciously.

But as soon as he nodded, he felt something was wrong.

"If you want to exercise your body, you should start from the most vulnerable part."

"As your master, I will naturally teach you how to exercise patiently in this regard."

Ning Qian half-closed her eyes and pointed with her slender fingers!

hum-

In an instant, the surroundings became blurred, and the scene in front of him was no longer the scene inside the pavilion, but he had come to the purple bamboo forest hot spring in the back mountain covered with a magic circle.

Feeling the rich spiritual power and the scent of purple bamboo there, Ning Qian looked at her beloved disciple with charming eyes and said, "Ran'er, do you think I should wear a cheongsam, or change into the sect master's attire - the purple cloud dress?"

In the bamboo forest beside the hot spring, the purple bamboos sway in the wind, and the surrounding spring water flows, releasing a "whoosh" sound like a strong wind blowing.

Because it had just rained in spring, the purple bamboo leaves appeared crystal clear, exuding a faint bamboo fragrance and the fragrance of moist rain and dew.

The soft moonlight shone on the path leading to the purple bamboo forest. A woman with a graceful figure and outstanding height had just returned from the back mountain. She was wearing a light blue Guangxiou Liuxian skirt and walked slowly into this area.

Li Shishi frowned slightly, and whispered to herself in confusion, "Brother has obviously returned, why can't I find him anywhere?"

It turned out that after she finished her training and returned to her residence, she found that the light was on in her senior brother's room. When she entered the room, she saw the stupid fox sleeping soundly.

Obviously, Lu Ran has gone home!

However, despite her search in Zixia Sect, she still could not find the familiar figure. So, Li Shishi finally came to the last possible place, Zizhulin Hot Spring.

Is it possible that the brother felt a little tired after returning home and planned to take a good bath?

In fact, her guess was not wrong. However, Lu Ran came here not just to take a bath, but more importantly to ask Master Ning Qian to teach him how to exercise his body.

While Li Shishi was thinking, she heard the sound of spiritual energy blowing. She immediately showed joy and stepped into a light curtain covered by mist, calling out, "Brother, are you in there?"

The last battle between Lu Ran and Tan Tai Ming Yue resulted in the destruction of the bamboo board separating the hot springs. Later, he learned his lesson and asked Elder Chen of the Refining Pavilion for a magical jade disk, and repainted the defensive psychedelic array pattern around it.

In this way, the hot spring was divided into two parts, blocked by a jade disk in the middle, and with the protection of the array pattern, it would not be easily destroyed.

However, a "whoosh... whoosh..." sound was heard. Li Shishi passed through the array light curtain to check the hot spring, but did not see Lu Ran.

At this moment, the voice of Master Ning Qian came from the other side of the jade disk.

"Ran'er~ He um... went out again after coming back. Actually, the master was inside!"

This pleasant and graceful voice seemed to be mixed with a hint of trembling, accompanied by the noisy sound of spiritual energy whistling, as if it was restraining something.

Although Li Shishi felt it was a bit strange, she did not delve into it. She just asked with some disappointment, "So did Senior Brother say when he would be back?"

"It should...it should be a little later. I don't know the exact time."

At this moment, Ning Qian's expression was a little shy. She clenched her teeth, bent her slender legs, and interlocked her fingers with her beloved disciple. Her beautiful eyes were filled with strong charm.

Lu Ran looked up at the beautiful face of his master, held his breath and concentrated his mind, practicing his supernatural powers while guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his body.

He didn't expect Li Shishi to come to the Purple Bamboo Forest. Fortunately, there were jade discs and magic arrays blocking the way, so he could only hear the sound of the spiritual energy whistling, but couldn't detect the situation inside.

Of course, Lu Ran was only concentrating on cultivating his magical powers and tempering his body, and had no other intentions.

However, during this process you may need to resist certain demonic interferences that touch your nerve endings, so you need to hold your breath and concentrate!

"Then what are you doing over there, Master?"

"How could there be such a sound of spiritual energy whistling?"

Li Shishi took off her Guangxiu Liuxian skirt and stepped into the hot spring barefoot, then asked curiously. She had practiced for a whole day, and although she had reached the realm of supernatural power and her body was no longer stained with dirt, she was still used to taking a bath once a day.

"Master...is currently practicing a technique that causes a continuous whistling sound."

Ning Xian's face, as beautiful as a peach blossom, was flushed with a beautiful blush, and her charming eyes looked down at her beloved disciple, as if urging him to practice.

The hazy water vapor around them gradually turned into an enchanting mist in her sweet and charming breathing, and they seemed to be lured into a mysterious and blurry world.

"I see!"

Li Shishi nodded, not quite understanding, and her slender wrist stirred up a burst of crystal water and colorful petals, which sprinkled on her cheeks.

Then, she leaned on the warm jade wall that separated the two sides and gently swung her slender legs, causing ripples.

After bathing in the hot spring, her pair of pink nail polish-painted feet looked exceptionally moisturized and lustrous, like crystal clear petals.

"call……"

Li Shishi exhaled a breath, squinted her eyes, and immersed herself in the hot spring rich in spiritual energy very comfortably.

It must be said that the hot springs nourished by spiritual energy made her body relax and feel very comfortable. The only drawback was that the spiritual energy whistling sound caused by the master's practice of magical powers next to her was a bit noisy, and for some reason it always made her feel annoyed.

Li Shishi soaked in the hot spring for a while, and felt that the feeling of boredom deepened. She couldn't help but complain: "Master, what kind of kung fu are you practicing? Why does it disturb my mind?"

"Hmm~ How come?"

"What I practice is a kind of Kung Fu that can continuously strengthen my body."

Ning Qian's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyebrows were sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned, she bit her lower lip and answered truthfully.

Just like before, there was still an elusive charm in that voice, as if she was trying hard to suppress some emotion.

"With your level, Master, do you still need to practice the skills to strengthen your body?"

"What if after I succeed in my training, I become like those people who practice physical training, with bulging muscles all over my body? Wouldn't that be very ugly?"

Li Shishi picked up a petal from the hot spring, sniffed the fragrance gently, and asked again.

As a woman, whether she was practicing magical powers or kung fu, she was always beautiful and extraordinary. For example, when she used the "Sunlight Glimpse" skill in the sect, she would be shimmering with purple clouds, just like a fairy, which was in line with her aesthetic standards.

As for those body-refining methods, she has never been interested in them.

Suddenly, Li Shishi seemed to have thought of something, and said in surprise: "Hey! Why don't I see any books on body training in the library?"

"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

"In fact, this method of body refining was obtained by Ran'er from the secret realm."

The corner of Ning Qian's mouth curled up in a meaningful arc, and she glanced at Lu Shengseng, who seemed to be an old monk in meditation, with half-closed eyes. It was obvious that she had other intentions.

"So it was found by my senior brother in the secret realm. No wonder you are able to practice."

"So how effective is this skill?"

After learning that this kung fu was related to her senior brother, Li Shishi's interest increased sharply.

"As for the effect, we still need to study it in depth and experience it slowly."

"But during the practice, sometimes it feels like soaking in a hot spring, making the whole body soft and warm; sometimes it feels like floating in the clouds, making the whole body comfortable and relaxed..."
