Chapter 817 - 51: Shaping Her Into One of Us

Chapter 817: Chapter 51: Shaping Her Into One of Us

The next day.

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes and found Xia Qinglian also looking at him sideways.

Naturally, the two didn’t dare to sleep last night, so they lay on the bed, closing their eyes to cultivate.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, and now the sky outside had already brightened.

Qin Gengyun got up slightly, and saw that beside Xia Qinglian, Luo Xiaohong was still sleeping, which amused him.

His wife and he had been on guard as if facing a formidable enemy, yet this Tao Spirit Body slept soundly.

Is she really not afraid that we might attack her while she’s asleep?

But then he thought, with Xia Qinglian’s character, she would never be able to launch a sneak attack on someone while they are asleep.

Qin Gengyun looked carefully and saw that although Luo Xiaohong was asleep, her little hand was still tightly holding onto Xia Qinglian’s hand.

Indeed, it looked a bit like a daughter snuggling up to her mother while sleeping.

At this moment, a light knock on the door was heard from outside.

"Young master, miss, Xiaohong, are you still doing okay?"

Awoken by the noise, Luo Xiaohong drowsily opened her eyes. She glanced at Xia Qinglian and Qin Gengyun beside her, a smile appearing on her face:

"Good morning, wife, husband!"

Qin Gengyun also smiled and said: "Xiaohong, did you sleep well last night?"

Luo Xiaohong nodded enthusiastically: "I slept really comfortably. It turns out that sleeping together with concubines, wife, and husband is so cozy! Let’s sleep together every day!"

"Comfortable is good, haha."

Qin Gengyun coaxed with a tone as if speaking to a child:

"As long as you are obedient, we will sleep with you every day in the future."

"Obedient?" Luo Xiaohong asked puzzledly: "What does obedient mean?"

Qin Gengyun said: "For example, today we will leave Cloud Bamboo Mountain for Jianxian City. On the road, Xiaolan and Yun Wu will teach you many things that you should learn well. That’s what being obedient means."

Last night, they had already decided to imprint colorful strokes on Luo Xiaohong’s blank canvas, to cover up any traces of Immortal Flying Pavilion.

Thus, on the journey to Jianxian City, everyone would take turns teaching Luo Xiaohong new things, hoping she learns as much as possible.

Of course, during this educational process, they would also subtly instill ideas like not being hostile towards Qinlian Sect.

They hoped that before reaching Jianxian City, they could shape Luo Xiaohong into one of their own.

"Okay, I’ll learn well!"

Upon hearing Qin Gengyun’s words, Luo Xiaohong immediately promised loudly.

Besides wanting to be "obedient" so that she could sleep with her wife and husband at night, she was also curious about the things Mo Xiaolan and others were going to teach.

Such a feeling is even more delightful than learning cultivation at Immortal Flying Peak!

The three of them walked out of the room, where Liu Su, Mo Xiaolan, and others had been waiting for a long time. The five women looked at them with somewhat complicated expressions.

Qin Gengyun hurriedly explained: "The three of us didn’t do anything last night."

Liu Su chuckled: "Young master, you don’t need to explain; we all understand."

She cheerfully turned her gaze to Luo Xiaohong: "Seeing Xiaohong looking so rosy, it must be thanks to young master’s diligence last night. Young master, you’ve worked hard, ouch!"

Xia Qinglian withdrew her hand and said lightly: "Let’s go."

Everyone headed towards the Guardian Array at Cloud Bamboo Mountain, where Yun Wu looked at the chaotic sea of Cloud Bamboo with a sorrowful expression.

Qin Gengyun suddenly said to Luo Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, can you make these Cloud Bamboo return to the sky?"

"Yes." Luo Xiaohong nodded and then asked: "But why send the bamboo back to the sky? Isn’t it convenient to pick them up and roast them if they fall to the ground?"

Qin Gengyun patiently explained: "If all these Cloud Bamboo fall to the ground, Cloud Bamboo Mountain would no longer be Cloud Bamboo Mountain. Yun Wu would be sad, and Yun Wu is your friend. You wouldn’t want your friend to be unhappy, would you?"

Luo Xiaohong thought about it, "If my friend is unhappy, they can’t play with me, and I won’t be happy either."

Then she raised the Five-Colored Short Sword, her voice clear and sweet:

"I want to send these bamboo back to the sky."

In an instant, a dazzling light burst from the Five-Colored Short Sword, and the bamboo lying on the ground all flew up, returning to the white clouds, and planted back again.

After half a stick of incense, the ten thousand Cloud Bamboo swayed again among the clouds.

Yun Wu looked up at the beautifully fluttering Cloud Bamboo, her eyes misty with gratitude as she said to Luo Xiaohong:

"Xiaohong, thank you, thank you!"

Luo Xiaohong responded with an "oh," somewhat unaccustomed to others expressing gratitude to her. Qin Gengyun asked her:

"Xiaohong, do you feel happy?"

Luo Xiaohong nodded: "How strange, why do I feel happy when others talk to me?"

"Because Yun Wu is your friend. You helped your friend, so naturally, you feel happy. Xiaohong, remember, we are all your friends. If you help us in the future, that will be your chance to gain happiness."

Qin Gengyun’s voice was full of allure, like a cunning uncle enticing an innocent girl.

"Hmm, I’ll remember!"

The innocent girl nodded heavily, evidently having engraved Qin Gengyun’s words deep in her heart.

Liu Su covered her mouth and laughed secretly, Si Minglan whispered to Wei Wan: "See, men are truly bad!"

Soon, everyone left Cloud Bamboo Mountain and headed in the direction of Jianxian City.

Immortal Flying Peak is located in the center of the junction of the Four Domains, with Jianxian City right beneath it, tens of thousands of miles from Cloud Bamboo Mountain.

No one was in a hurry, deliberately taking their time on the journey. Just after leaving Cloud Bamboo Mountain, Yun Wu began teaching Luo Xiaohong to dance.

After watching Yun Wu demonstrate an elegant dance sequence, Luo Xiaohong immediately showed great interest in dancing.

By midday, everyone stopped to rest, and Luo Xiaohong excitedly found Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian:

"Husband, sister, look! I’ve learned to dance!"

As she spoke, she showed off a section of the Cloud Robe Dance taught by Yun Wu.

In Qin Gengyun’s expectant gaze, Luo Xiaohong stretched her body, tiptoed, and turned her neck stiffly, resembling a limping duck.

This little duck hopped around for a while, then eagerly asked Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian:

"Did I dance well?"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded together: "You danced wonderfully."

The tone was like that of parents coaxing their child.

Luo Xiaohong was very happy and ate an extra roasted tiger leg at noon.

In the afternoon, it was Si Minglan’s turn to teach her.

However, Si Minglan was very mysterious, pulling Luo Xiaohong into a small forest during lessons, leaving everyone wondering what exactly she taught.

As night fell, the group had traveled less than a thousand miles throughout the day.

There were still six days left to reach Immortal Flying Pavilion, so delaying the journey to the last day would still be fine.

That evening, Luo Xiaohong ran over excitedly to find Qin Gengyun, eager to show him what Si Minglan taught her during the day.

Luo Xiaohong twisted slightly, her waist tracing a graceful curve, one hand holding the hem of her short skirt, lifting it slightly to reveal a portion of her fair thigh.

Her right hand gathered her hair, slowly moving downward, finally resting at her chest, as her big eyes blinked vigorously at Qin Gengyun:

"Husband, am I beautiful?"
