"It's alright, I've activated a soundproof array, so feel free to exert yourself." Ningguang's voice was full of allure.
Chapter 145 Dust Song Pot Resumes Battle, Small Gathering at Mount Aozang
"Looks like you were prepared all along?" Lu Lin breathed into her ear, making a gentle gesture.
“Because…because I…I’m also really looking forward to it!” Ningguang turned to look back at Lu Lin, her eyes filled with tender affection.
As Ningguang bent over, her two fair, snow-capped peaks appeared to hang upside down, like suspended bells. Looking back suddenly, the red plum blossoms against the snow were breathtakingly beautiful, and Lu Lin's attack speed unconsciously increased.
As he moved, the red plum blossoms on the mountaintop rubbed against the desk, the cool touch stimulating her and making her face even redder, as if it were about to drip water.
Water was indeed dripping out; before I knew it, a small puddle had formed on the floor in front of my desk.
Actually, with the door locked from the inside and the soundproofing array activated, the two of them didn't need to worry about being discovered.
But when Lu Lin thought about how this woman, whom he could do whatever he wanted, was one of the actual rulers of Liyue, and how all the people outside treated her like a goddess, he was reminded of her.
The sense of conquest and accomplishment is simply overwhelming!
Ningguang also clearly noticed his unusual excitement today, and became even more cooperative.
The two spent the entire afternoon playing in the office, on the desks and chairs, by the window, and even Lu Lin had her hold the doorknob to catch the raindrops.
Separated by a single door, outside are Bai Wen and his secretaries, working diligently and without complaint; inside is Tian Quanxing, naturally alluring and subservient...
Having finally unlocked an office scene, Lu Lin cherished the opportunity and explored almost every corner of Ningguang's office before the storm finally subsided.
"Are you leaving?"
The two returned to their original position, and Ningguang carefully cleaned him with her mouth and tongue while asking him questions.
"Ying has accepted the commission and has been traveling back and forth between Liyue and Mondstadt recently. Once she's done with this, she should be heading to Inazuma. Inazuma has been quite turbulent lately, so I'm planning to go with her to check it out."
"Hehe, aren't we going to find new sisters for us?" Ningguang said with a gentle smile.
After cleaning herself up, she didn't put on her clothes properly. Instead, she went around behind Lu Lin and gently massaged his shoulders and back with a pair of large rabbit-shaped massage balls in her hands.
She really does have the air of a gentle and virtuous wife.
It didn't really have any real massage effect, but it wasn't a proper massage to begin with.
The soft, smooth touch stirred Lu Lin's heart. He turned to look at Ning Guang's exquisite face and said earnestly:
"No matter where I go, Liyue is my home, and I will always come back. No matter how many new sisters I have, my love for you will only increase and never decrease in the slightest."
"You just know how to sweet-talk me." Ningguang rolled her eyes at him, a look that was both reproachful and delighted.
She pressed a button on her desk, disabling the soundproofing array, and called out loudly, "Baiwen, I have to go now. Don't worry about me today, just tidy up my office for me later."
"Yes, Master Ningguang!"
"Let's go back to Chen Ge Hu." After making the arrangements, Ning Guang took the two people's clothes and pulled Lu Lin back to Chen Ge Hu.
The newly installed octopus chair in the bedroom looks quite interesting; she's been wanting to try it out for a while now, and tonight is a great opportunity!
Lu Lin readily agreed.
However, Ningguang alone was not enough to deal with Lu Lin, so she temporarily found two more helpers—Qiqi and Yaoyao.
The two girls were helpful and brave in assisting Lord Tianquan Star in suppressing the great demon king Lu Lin.
Unfortunately, the enemy was too powerful, and even with their best efforts, the three could not defeat them.
A narrow defeat!
......
After Gui Zhong and Xian Yun met, they were overjoyed. Xian Yun then told Grandma Ping, who was also in Liyue Harbor, about the news.
After discussing it, the immortals decided to invite Li Shui and a few others for a small gathering to celebrate the restoration of Gui Zhong.
The gathering was set for Mount Aozang, and Gan Yu and Shen He went back to help with the preparations.
As the biggest contributor to the eventual recovery, Lu Lin also received an invitation to a gathering the next day.
This was, of course, a little scheme by Gui Zhong and Xian Yun—they wanted to invite their little men to join them for some fun!
Of course, when Xianyun invited Lu Lin, she repeatedly warned him not to touch or grope him during the gathering, as it would easily arouse suspicion.
She certainly wouldn't dare let her friends know about this situation where a master and disciple both serve the same person.
That's a bit too detached from worldly affairs.
Lu Lin readily agreed. Although he enjoyed thrills, he knew his limits and respected Xianyun's wishes in this regard.
Gan Yu and Shen He were both there. After Xian Yun invited him, Lu Lin used them as anchor points and teleported there through the Chen Ge Pot.
This new feature is quite useful.
This was actually his first time visiting Mt. Aozang, though he had been there countless times in the game.
The summit of Mount Ozang is broad and flat, with a crystal-clear pool in the middle.
It is said that water that is too clear has no fish, but this theory obviously does not hold true on this sacred mountain. More than a dozen spirited fish swim freely in the pool, creating a sense of emptiness and freedom.
The pool is not deep, and there is a protruding platform in the middle, where a huge red maple tree is planted.
There are stone tables and benches under the trees, and a winding stone path leads through the pool to the entrance of Xianyun Cave.
As the hermitage of immortals, Mount Aozo is indeed a tranquil and picturesque place.
The gathering place was chosen on an open space by a pond, where Gui Zhong had already set up his ingenious cooking machine.
As a fan of mechanical devices, Gui Zhong was very curious about this novel cooking mechanism and kept studying it.
Gan Yu and Shen He brought over a huge stone table, set out various fruits and delicacies, tea for those who liked tea, and wine for those who liked alcohol.
The view here is excellent, and there's a soft lawn. After the area was mostly set up, Gan Yu and Shen He sat on the grass, one on each side of Lu Lin, gazing into the distance and watching the clouds drift by.
Gui Zhong and Xian Yun were watching the cooking machine, which contained a pot of carefully prepared pickled bamboo shoots and pork soup.
Soon, a celestial deer stepped into the air, and a celestial bird flapped its wings, coming from outside the mountain and landing steadily on the mountaintop.
Both True Lords, Xiaoyue Zhuyang and Lishui Dieshan, have arrived.
"Ha! This aura is truly the Return to the End! You have really been resurrected?" Li Shui Die Shan was overjoyed. "When I received Liu Yun's letter, I couldn't believe my eyes."
"The real deal, Li Shui and Xiao Yue, it's been a long time!" Gui Zhong was dressed in a green dress, looking pretty and radiant.
"Me too, this is truly a wonderful and exciting event!" Xiaoyue Zhuyang was also pleasantly surprised.
"No surprise, why would I have called you here?" Xianyun replied.
"But how did they do that?" Both immortals were puzzled.
"We'll talk about this when the Emperor and the others arrive, otherwise we'll have to explain." Xianyun waved his hand, and the two immortals took their seats first.
Lu Lin and the others also took their seats and greeted each other.
Li Shui and Xiao Yue still had a deep impression of Lu Lin, knowing that he was a true hero, but they were somewhat puzzled that he would come to attend the gathering of immortals.
Chapter 146 Return to the End: It's still more interesting to sit under the open sky (5/18)
There is a difference between immortals and mortals. No matter how talented Lu Lin is, it is very difficult for him to enter the circle of immortals.
There are countless geniuses among mortals, but only a few disciples who are accepted by chance can truly come into contact with immortals.
Li Shui and Xiao Yue were unaware of Liu Yun's purpose in inviting him, and didn't care much, exchanging only a few simple pleasantries.
Lu Lin didn't particularly enjoy socializing, so he prepared a plate of melon seeds and, along with Gan Yu and Shen He, ate them while listening to the immortals reminisce about their glorious past.
This caught the attention of Rikazuki and Shigetsu again.
Not just noticed, but to be precise, deeply shocked!
Gan Yu and Shen He, aren't they a little too close to him?
When did Shen He start peeling sunflower seeds for others? And even feeding them to him?!
Even Gan Yu is being fed?!
The fairy deer and the fairy crane shook their heads at the same time, thinking they were hallucinating.
It's not a hallucination, it's real.
Gan Yu is one thing, having lived in the human world for so long, it's normal for her to fall in love with a human. But Shen He, that child, isn't he bound by a red rope?
Only then did the two immortals realize that Shen He did not have any magical fluctuations related to the red rope binding soul; the red rope tied to her arm was merely decorative.
"With the help of young friend Lu Lin, Shen He has completely eliminated the evil aura from his body, the red rope has been untied, and he is no different from an ordinary person!" Xianyun explained when he saw their shocked and speechless expressions.
"So that's how it is! Why didn't you tell me about this joyous occasion sooner, Liu Yun!" The two immortals were genuinely happy.
Shen He is nominally Xianyun's disciple, but several immortals have actually participated in his teaching. He can be said to be one of the most beloved members of Jueyun Sect and is deeply loved by everyone.
Their attitude towards Lu Lin changed immediately, and they even took out a lot of immortal talismans and precious treasures to give to Lu Lin.
"There's no need for you two immortals to do this. Shen He and I are kindred spirits, and helping her is simply our duty." Lu Lin quickly stood up to politely decline, but he still couldn't refuse.
You and Shen He are in love, but what about Gan Yu? Why does she also feed you?
New doubts arose.
"Ahem, it's like this." Xianyun cleared his throat, "Gan Yu and Shen He have both fallen for Lu Lin, and their feelings for each other are so deep that they can't bear to part."
The two sisters were very close and didn't mind sharing a servant. I, being an immortal, thought that we immortals weren't bound by worldly customs, so I agreed.
Li Shui and Xiao Yue looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is this really true?
However, since both girls were willing, they couldn't interfere too much.
Little did she know that Xianyun was feeling extremely awkward at that moment. What she said sounded normal, like what a master should say.
But she wasn't just his master; she was also Lu Lin's woman!
It's so embarrassing!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xianyun rolled her eyes at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin also felt something was off, but there was nothing he could do. Announcing Gan Yu and Shen He's relationship with him was something everyone had agreed on beforehand; they couldn't all be doing it secretly.
Only she, as the master, could say such a thing.
Gui Zhong kept covering her mouth and chuckling, thoroughly enjoying the gossip. Although she was also Lu Lin's woman, their relationship wasn't this complicated.
Fortunately, a deep, magnetic voice broke the awkward silence.
"Old friend, long time no see!" Zhongli and Grandma Ping were already standing on the grass.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time! And Ah Ping too!" Gui Zhong smiled brightly and waved to the two of them.
Old friends reunited, exchanged pleasantries, and the atmosphere became lively again.
"Only the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons hasn't arrived yet," someone remarked.
"I've been here all along." The elusive Xiao appeared at the table the next second.
With everyone present, the gathering officially began.
The gatherings of immortals are no different from those of mortals; they're not just about eating, drinking, and chatting.
The topic that everyone is most concerned about is, of course, how Guiji was resurrected.
"If I'm not mistaken, Lu Lin must have played a significant role in Gui's eventual resurrection." Zhongli raised his teacup and took a sip.
It requires a lot of effort, mainly from the waist.
Lu Lin's thoughts wandered aimlessly, but Li Shui and Xiao Yue were shocked.
Shen He was healed by you, and Gui Zhong was resurrected by you too? Are you an immortal, or are we the immortals?!
"I wouldn't say I contributed anything; it was just a matter of chance," Lu Lin said modestly, briefly explaining the process of his resurrection and return to the end.
Of course, he couldn't reveal details like the system in the Dust Song Pot. He simply claimed that he had a way to nurture and restore a remnant soul, and that he had accidentally discovered the remnant soul of Gui Zhong, nurturing and reshaping the physical body step by step.
They only discussed the results without going into details, and the immortals tacitly refrained from pressing for answers.
He spoke of it lightly, but restoring a remnant soul and reshaping a physical body is no simple matter; it must have come at a great cost, yet he made no mention of it.
This made the immortals have a better impression of Lu Lin.
"The immortals sacrificed so much to protect Liyue, which is truly admirable. I have always wanted to do something for everyone."
