Chapter 169: Immeasurable
"The unknown will eventually be known. If it remains unknown, it will not happen. No matter what, there is no need to worry or be afraid." Lu Yunxu's words surprised Qiao Jinlan.
He was surprisingly so calm.
Qiao Jinlan smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed: "Indeed, you are right. I was just being too picky."
No matter what happens in the future, we will just have to face it later. There is no need to worry so long in advance.
"By the way, Madam, did the snake really not bite you?" Lu Yunxu asked curiously, while glancing at Qiao Jinlan's hand with worry.
Qiao Jinlan smiled and stretched out her hand to show Lu Yunxu: "Really..."
Her words came to an abrupt end when Lu Yunxu grabbed her hand.
No, she just wanted him to take a look, why was he grabbing it and looking at it?
Is it necessary to be so careful?
Especially Lu Yunxu's fingers are very beautiful, with distinct joints and slenderness without any feeling of being skinny. Even if he were to be a hand model, they would be the kind that could make people scream with excitement.
Her hand was held by such a pair of hands, and examined carefully... er...
Qiao Jinlan felt as if a tiny electric current suddenly whizzed through the place where Lu Yunxu touched, striking straight into her heart.
It made her feel numb and uncomfortable all over.
Qiao Jinlan pulled her hand back abruptly, and then met Lu Yunxu's innocent and confused eyes. She felt a little embarrassed for some reason: "I don't think I have washed it carefully yet. Who knows if there is any dirt on the snake?"
At this time, a snake that was running back to Daliang was innocently caught in the crossfire.
Lu Yunxu nodded seriously: "Yes, I need to wash it thoroughly."
"Snakes are always crawling on the ground. I don't know how much dirt they are covered with."
Lu Yunxu immediately asked the maid to fetch some water and even wanted to help.
Qiao Jinlan immediately stopped him: "I can wash it myself."
"I touched your hand just now, and I want to wash it too." Lu Yunxu's words made Qiao Jinlan's eyes flicker.
This guy...did he do this on purpose?
After meeting Lu Yunxu's clear eyes, Qiao Jinlan dispelled her doubts.
This guy is naive, probably just reacting instinctively without thinking too much.
It probably wasn't intentional to have more contact with her.
"Ask them to get another basin and wash it clean." Qiao Jinlan knew that she had misunderstood Lu Yunxu, so she spoke in a softer voice.
"Okay." Lu Yunxu responded obediently.
He looked so well behaved that Qiao Jinlan felt particularly embarrassed.
Why did she think too much?
In modern times, he is just a teenager.
Obviously, Qiao Jinlan had mispositioned herself from the beginning and was used to treating Lu Yunxu as a child who had not grown up.
He completely forgot that there are many people of Lu Yunxu's age who have children.
Therefore, Qiao Jinlan, who was washing her hands seriously, did not notice at all that someone who was washing his hands next to her had other thoughts hidden in his lowered eyes.
Someone seems calm, but in fact the villain in his heart is already running wildly with excitement, leaving an afterimage and getting what he wants!
Touched it!
So slippery!
So soft!
Touch it well!
"Ah!" Qiao Jinlan screamed, scaring Lu Yunxu. Oh no, was he discovered?
"What's wrong?" Lu Yunxu asked, trying to remain calm.
"Where is the coal boss?" Qiao Jinlan just remembered.
I haven’t seen the coal boss since I came back.
"Could the coal boss be poisoned?" Qiao Jinlan frowned and called out, "Fei Cui, have you seen the coal boss?"
Feicui came in hurriedly: "Young Madam, I'll go look for it."
"Okay." Qiao Jinlan nodded.
"The coal boss is a very human person and he shouldn't run too far." Qiao Jinlan looked outside worriedly but did not see the little black ball.
"Yeah." Lu Yunxu nodded in agreement, but in fact he was thinking in his heart that it would be best if he never came back.
Unfortunately, reality is not what he wished.
Master Xuan Jing came, and the coal boss was with him.
As soon as Qiao Jinlan walked into the main hall, the little guy jumped directly into Qiao Jinlan's arms, rubbing against her and acting coquettishly, meowing non-stop.
The grandma's soft voice was enough to melt Qiao Jinlan's heart.
"Coal boss, where have you been? I was so worried." Qiao Jinlan pinched the kitten's soft little paws and asked in a reproachful tone.
The kitten rolled around in Qiao Jinlan's arms and acted cute, making Qiao Jinlan unable to help but laugh.
Lu Yunxu stared at the shameless cat in frustration.
You are so big, why don’t you have any shame?
The kitten naturally felt Lu Yunxu's gaze, but it simply ignored it.
Compared with the look in Lu Yunxu's eyes that night, there is really... no comparison at all.
It's not painful at all and poses no threat at all.
The kitten simply ignored it.
"Young Madam, the coal boss is waiting for me." Master Xuan Jing explained with a smile.
Qiao Jinlan smiled and asked, "Master, what's going on with the snake in Daliang?"
"There are more people practicing in Daliang, and their ability to sense the gods is stronger." Master Xuanjing explained.
"They naturally have more chances of encountering spirit beasts than us."
Qiao Jinlan shook her head and sat down with the coal boss in her arms: "I mean, why is the snake so weak in my hands?"
"Can something like that be called a spirit beast?"
Master Xuan Jing: "... Young Madam, have you ever thought of a possibility that it's not that the spirit beast is weak, it's that you are too strong."
Qiao Jinlan glanced at Lu Yunxu, and this was almost the same as what she had guessed.
"Master Xuan Jing, do you think I'm strong?" Qiao Jinlan asked doubtfully, "I've never had any affinity with gods and Buddhas."
Master Xuan Jing smiled and said, "Young Madam, we can't learn the way you communicate with the gods."
"The gods...seem to be very afraid of the young lady."
Qiao Jinlan raised her eyebrows. Do gods have such a hobby?
"Young Madam has threatened the gods several times, and it always worked." Master Xuan Jing looked at Qiao Jinlan with admiration.
Qiao Jinlan looked at Lu Yunxu. Is she so powerful?
Lu Yunxu asked Master Xuan Jing worriedly: "Master, will my wife be retaliated against?"
He didn't believe these things, but he knew that there was indeed the power of gods in the world. If Qiao Jinlan angered the gods, it would be bad if she was retaliated against.
"This... According to my observation, it seems that it is not the case." Master Xuan Jing said in a deep voice, "Spiritual beasts will not easily follow people."
"The third prince of Daliang is said to be able to communicate with spirit beasts, but he has only mastered a few tricks to convey his meaning to the spirit beasts."
"As for whether the spirit beast will do it or not, it all depends on the spirit beast's own will."
"Generally speaking, spirit beasts enjoy the offerings of believers, and when they are in a good mood, they will do what they promised to the believers."
"If a spirit beast is unhappy, it is normal for it to receive offerings for nothing and do nothing."
"Even the spirit beasts are so afraid of the young lady... The young lady's strength is really immeasurable."
