After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

"But since Heaven wants to destroy our clan, you..."

Ran looked at Lin Chuan with worry, her fingertips unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, and her voice was filled with anxiety that was hard to conceal.

"I've already been to Guixu."

Lin Chuan raised his hand and gently touched Ran's slightly frowned brow, his tone as calm as if he was talking about something very ordinary, "So, the way of heaven has nothing to do with me."

"..."

Ran's brows were still slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of barely perceptible hesitation in her voice: "Is there any other way?"

"No."

Lin Chuan looked at the worry in Ran's eyes and shook his head slightly.

"..."

Ran stared at Lin Chuan in a daze. On one side was her Taoist partner, and on the other side was the hope for the survival of the elves.

She wanted Lin Chuan to help her, but she didn't want Lin Chuan to be exposed to any risk. Such conflicting thoughts kept tugged at her in her heart, making her not know what to do for a moment.

"Don't worry, Sister Ran, everything will be fine."

Lin Chuan gently held Ran in his arms and patted her back slowly with his palm.

"Ah."

Ran nodded slightly, but her arms tightened involuntarily, hugging Lin Chuan tighter.

"It's getting late, let's get some rest first."

Lin Chuan reached out and tidied her slightly messy hair, and tenderness overflowed in his eyes.

"Should we go back to the house to rest or... appreciate nature here?" Ran lowered her eyes, a light blush on her cheeks.

"What do you want, my lady?"

Lin Chuan reached out and gently pinched Ran's hot cheek, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"I'm listening... I'm listening."

Ran's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, her head drooped even lower, and the tips of her ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

"Me?" Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows.

"..."

"Listen...listen to my husband..."

Ran's voice was so soft that it was almost blown away by the wind, and the blush on her cheeks became more intense.

"Then let's go back to the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan picked up Ran and carried her horizontally, walking towards the wooden house.

Inside the wooden house.

After Lin Chuan gently placed Ran on the wooden couch, he stood beside the couch without moving.

Seeing no movement beside her, Ran slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Chuan. There was a hint of shyness in her eyes, and a hint of subtle doubt. She asked softly, "Husband, don't you want to rest with us?"

"Isn't there any reward for carrying my wife into the house?"

Lin Chuan had a smile on his lips, his eyes fell on Ran's slightly red cheeks, and there was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Reward? What reward do you want, my husband?"

Ran raised her eyes and looked at Lin Chuan, her voice a little shy but a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"..."

Lin Chuan looked down at Ran, smiling without saying a word.

"..."

……

Demon clan, Demon Palace.

The candlelight flickered as Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the letter in her hand. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. The red jade bracelet on her wrist shone with a warm luster in the firelight.

"Master Demon King is so happy, but your lover is here to see you?"

Catwoman walked over with a lunch box in her hand, her eyes fell softly on Ye Xiaoxiao's face, and she teased.

"Aunt Cat~"

Ye Xiaoxiao's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she hurriedly put the letter away.

"These pastries are freshly made. Lord Demon King, please try them."

Catwoman opened the food box, took out the pastries, and gently placed them on the counter.

"Mmm, smells so good, Aunt Cat is not only beautiful, but also a great cook."

Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, looking intoxicated, as if she had eaten some delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

"You're so sweet, do you have something to tell me?"

Catwoman gave Ye Xiaoxiao a reproachful look, but there was a smile in her eyes.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Aunt Cat."

Ye Xiaoxiao scratched his head with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Master Demon King, are you planning to go to the human race to look for Master Lin again?"

Catwoman sighed softly, her eyes fell on the red jade bracelet on Ye Xiaoxiao's wrist, and her tone was filled with understanding.

"Actually, it's not just that. Sister Qingshu said that the young master's holy land will be established in the northern border in a while. I plan to go and congratulate him and find him at the same time." Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained.

"Master OP..."

Catwoman murmured, and she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the figure who used secret magic to pull her into her dream.

"Aunt Cat?"

Ye Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Catwoman, with some doubt in his eyes.

"fine."

Catwoman shook her head and hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "I am the steward of Siqin Tower, and have had the honor of meeting the owner several times. If you want to congratulate me, it would be better for the Demon King to send someone over."

"Why? Didn't Auntie Mao tell me to keep closer contact with Siqin Building?"

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Catwoman with confusion, her eyes full of doubt.

"This is a different time. Since Lord Lin was able to write a letter to Lord Demon King, it proves that he has already left the Qingluan Holy Land. If anyone wants to become the second Xu Hanyi, I'm afraid Lord Demon King..."

Catwoman looked at Ye Xiaoxiao solemnly. Her worry was evident on her face before she finished speaking.

"..."

Ye Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "That shouldn't be the case, right? Sister Qingshu doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"I don't know the master of this building very well. This is just my guess."

Catwoman softened her tone and eyes, "If Lord Demon King wants to go, it's fine. If something really happens, the worst that can happen is to put pressure on the human race."

"..."

Ye Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Catwoman: "Then while Xiaoxiao is away, I'll leave the affairs of the demon tribe to Aunt Cat."

"Master Demon King, rest assured."

……

Demon clan, council hall.

Lin Wanxi sat in the main seat, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the black jade bracelet on her wrist, her eyes dazed.

"Cough cough."

Jun Moxie coughed twice at the side and his eyes fell on Lin Wanxi with a hint of reminder.

"..."

Lin Wanxi regained her composure, concealing the panic in her eyes. She looked up at the elders and nobles below and asked, "Has anything happened in the clan recently?"

"Your Highness, our clan..."

The elders came forward one by one to report, and the meeting lasted for several hours. When everyone finally dispersed, Lin Wanxi leaned back in her chair, sighed a long sigh of relief, and a hint of fatigue crossed her brow.

"Xixi must be exhausted."

Xue Ji carried a bowl of hot soup and walked up to Lin Wanxi. She said gently, "Drink it while it's hot."

"Isn't it just listening to a few elders' opinions? Why is it so tiring?"

Jun Moxie stood beside him with his arms folded, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate harshness, "If you want to be a qualified Demon Ancestor, you have to work harder."

"How long has Xixi been taking over the demon clan?"

Xue Ji glanced at Jun Mo Xie in annoyance, then turned to look at Lin Wanxi, her brows softening again. "On my way here, I heard several elders praising Xixi. They said she possessed the same decisiveness as the Demon Ancestor did back then, while also being meticulous and thorough. She's much more composed and steady than the Demon Ancestor was when he first took over."

"That's because I taught you well. No one taught me back then." Jun Moyue snorted lightly, dissatisfied.

"I don't care. Xixi is the best anyway."

Xue Ji said this, reaching out and rubbing Lin Wanxi's head, showing no mercy to Jun Moyue at all.

"Just spoil her."

Jun Moxie shook his head helplessly, his gaze falling on Lin Wanxi who was sipping soup, his tone darkening, "Wanxi is planning to go to the human race to congratulate?"

"..."

Lin Wanxi paused, then nodded. "Well, to show our tribe's respect for the human race, it's only fitting for my daughter to go and offer congratulations."

After saying that, she lowered her head and took another sip of soup, but her fingertips tightened unconsciously.

"I think we are going to look for that boy?" Jun Moyue raised his eyebrows.

"..."

Lin Wanxi's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't respond. She just lowered her head and drank the soup in small sips with concentration.

"Xixi's trip to the human race to congratulate is a serious matter. What's wrong with relaxing along the way?"

Xue Ji glared at Jun Moyue and reached out to tidy up Lin Wanxi's hair.

"..."

"Hey, go ahead, but remember to bring more people."
