Chapter 278: Chapter 134: My Cultivation with the Fairy!_2

“Hmm, I’m ten years old this year!”
Lu Xile bit off half of her candied hawthorn on a stick in one bite.
Then she offered it to Xiao Xiyue, “Auntie Xi Yue, Daddy said when guests come over, we should treat them well, so I want to treat you to candied hawthorn.”
Xiao Xiyue was slightly taken aback.
She couldn’t help but think back to her own childhood.
Once upon a time, she, like the little girl in front of her, had a lively face and loved to eat candied hawthorn.
Her eyes curved into a smile, and a gentle look appeared on her face; she opened her enticing, rosy lips and took a bite from the half-red fruit on the little girl’s stick.
“Mmm, really delicious.”
Xiao Xiyue touched Lu Xile’s head and said, her quiet state of mind rippling slightly.
This reinforced her certainty that Lu Changsheng was her chance to break through delusions and advance her state of mind.
A glowing, moon-white jade pendant appeared in her hand, which she handed to Lu Xile, “This is a gift from your auntie.”
Lu Xile did not accept it immediately but looked toward her father.
“Since it’s a gift from auntie, you should keep it,”
Lu Changsheng spoke.
He could tell that this was not an ordinary jade pendant; it was a Spirit Jade.
As for its value, he couldn’t discern it at a glance.
But since it was for his child, he didn’t decline it.
He also knew that by giving a gift to his child, Xiao Xiyue was expressing her gratitude for bothering him.
“Thank you, Auntie Xiao!”
The little girl gleefully accepted the jade pendant.
She saw that the jade pendant was translucent and sparkling, very pretty, and she liked it very much.
She then talked to Xiao Xiyue even more warmly.
Asking if Xiao Xiyue had eaten and if she would like to go out and play.
In the face of the little girl’s enthusiasm, Xiao Xiyue did not decline and went with the flow.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything.
He just let his daughter take her out for a chat and a walk.
“What exactly is the situation with this Xiao Daoist friend?”
Watching Lu Xile taking Xiao Xiyue away, Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
From their conversation along the way, he was almost certain that there was something off about Xiao Xiyue.
Asking him for company was definitely not as simple as she claimed—just wandering the mortal world with no particular destination in mind.
She must have some kind of purpose in mind concerning him.
He believed that Xiao Xiyue’s descent from the mountain was indeed to wander the world, tempering her heart in the mortal realm, looking for an opportunity to break through.
But to say she had no destination and asked him for company felt far-fetched to Lu Changsheng.
After all, as a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Qingyun Sect, how could she have no destination when going out for training experiences?
She would definitely have had someone plan her journey, or even have company.
Moreover, he felt that Hong Yi might be more suitable than himself for this kind of wandering temperament.
This reason felt strange to Lu Changsheng but was, at most, passable.
But along the way, Lu Changsheng had been observing Xiao Xiyue closely.
He noticed that Xiao Xiyue’s gaze often lingered on him.
And he keenly perceived that her eyes and demeanor were changing.
This change was subtle, and he couldn’t describe it exactly.
If he had to say, it was that she was not so cold, not so indifferent anymore.
Today, when he and Hong Yi went to meet the three of them, he saw Xiao Xiyue’s first glance and noticed the cool, holy aura about her.
Like a fairy from the heavens, calm and indifferent, unapproachable.
It was still the case when they arrived at Ruyi Building.
Only after a long conversation did Xiao Xiyue’s indifference gradually recede a bit.
At that moment, Lu Changsheng realized that Xiao Xiyue was sizing him up but didn’t think too much of it.
After she proposed that he accompany her, Lu Changsheng became more cautious, so all along the way, by observing, he could confirm that Xiao Xiyue must have some purpose for him.
“Wait a minute, when she’s with me, her expressions and attitudes change… Could this be…”
Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.
He suddenly felt like it might be akin to a goddess showing interest in someone, only then letting go of her usual aloofness.
“Although I’m quite charming now, it couldn’t be this easy,”
Lu Changsheng stroked his chin.
He was someone with a fair sense of self-awareness.
He knew well that his charisma could be quite lethal to the opposite sex.
But it was unlikely to make Xiao Xiyue, a fairy of her stature, fall head over heels and take the initiative to throw herself at him.
“Could it be…”
A flash of enlightenment struck Lu Changsheng’s mind.
His Mental Spirit stirred, tuning into the Peach Blossom Gu spiritual essence within his forehead.
He wanted to see if this thing was once again stirring up romantic fortunes for him.
After all, his relationship with Xiao Xiyue was nothing extraordinary.
Now that she had come down to wander the mortal realm, with such an unusual behavior, he couldn’t help but speculate if romantic fortune was at play.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
A faint activity arose from the Peach Blossom Gu between his brows, conveying a sense of awareness.
As if to tell Lu Changsheng, it was indeed about romantic fortune.
“Good heavens!”
Receiving this feedback from the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng inwardly exclaimed in surprise.
Understanding that Xiao Xiyue’s abnormal behavior was indeed related to romantic fortune, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
But it also eased his mind quite a bit.
Knowing that Xiao Xiyue’s request to accompany him carried no ill intent, no ulterior motive.
“Nevertheless, this romantic fortune is not so easy to deal with,”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled softly.
To say he harbored no thoughts about Xiao Xiyue would be impossible.
After all, this Fairy Xiao was not only exquisitely beautiful but also possessed a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.
She even had some kind of Spiritual Body.
If she were just an ordinary Inner Sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect, that would be one thing, with some hope of a connection.
But she wasn’t just any disciple from the Immortal Sects.
She was a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal.
With such status and identity, if he were to impregnate her and have children, chances are it would bring trouble.
After all, being accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Immortal implies exceptional talent, and she would be entrusted with high expectations by the Immortal Sects, fully devoted to her cultivation.
