This wrong perception cost her a painful price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she found that Lu Xingzhou had almost no leisure time in his daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for necessary social interactions, he rarely stepped out of the house, either pondering cultivation or alchemy, a veritable cultivation fanatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His child, A-Nuo, was the same, always curled up in the room practicing. Acting cute was just a side job; the Ghost Child was her true self. Even when outside, A-Nuo was actually very quiet most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That short period on the road to the capital was the first time she, Pei Chuyun, had traveled for pleasure, and it was also the first time for Lu Xingzhou's master and apprentice. None of them wasted time on sightseeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was any idle business, it might be when he was picking up girls. But his so-called picking up girls, Pei Chuyun knew very well, was at least not sincere toward her, Pei Chuyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the few words he said just now, she didn't know how much calculation was involved and how much sincerity there was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun wanted to laugh a little. Last night, she was disappointed that he didn't trust her, but in fact, she had never truly trusted him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, Pei Chuyun didn't really trust herself either. Perhaps at that moment, she was moved and willing to have fun with him, but afterward? What if she felt the opportunity was too good while doing it and wanted to use the Harlot Profound Technique to control him? Pei Chuyun didn't dare to guarantee that for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guard was justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun sighed, got up, put on a coat, and made a cup of tea for Lu Xingzhou, who was obsessed with alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was a bit surprised by her attitude and turned his head to look strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking at? If you don't want to drink, forget it.\" Pei Chuyun rolled her eyes at him and sat aside, chin in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll drink. A-Lu's tea of love, why wouldn't I drink it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Pei Chuyun clicked her tongue: \"I really don't know which words are sincere and which are fake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou smiled: \"Same here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun mocked: \"Your concentration is so good, you're actually quite suitable to be a monk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said sincerely: \"This is mutual. Your concentration is actually better than mine. How about I go be a monk, and you accompany me as a nun next door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I accompany you? Who are you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am your Young Master, and you are my little maid A-Lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun kicked out, and Lu Xingzhou caught it easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wearing the embroidered shoe he had returned to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou took it off and threw it aside, playing with her little foot in one hand while still reading with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she was being taken advantage of, Pei Chuyun still wanted to laugh: \"Has Shen Tang ever said that you are not normal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought that for a Joy Saintess, this level belongs to the low-end of cognition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's little foot moved, her toes gently flicking on the boat: \"Is this more high-end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou's eyes bulged: \"Enchantress, I am reading. Stop ruining my cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun flicked her big toe: \"Don't you know I'm actually your enemy? Keeping an enemy by your side is destined to have no good ending. Ruining your cultivation is basic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou found it truly funny: \"You really don't want to see me do well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun supported her chin: \"Anyway, as you said, after tonight, we part ways. No matter how much I disturb your cultivation, it's only for one day, it won't affect anything... How about accompanying me to stroll around the capital?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Lu Xingzhou could always find a feeling of a spoiled little girlfriend from this guy, so he said deliberately: \"To make me give up cultivation to accompany you, you have to give me some reward, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun bit her lower lip, her eyes like silk: \"If you are willing... if you are holding it in again tonight, I will help you release it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou immediately put away the jade slip: \"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun giggled: \"Men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou ignored the mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he couldn't solve the problem with a \"plain\" method was that this kind of thing required the other party to take the initiative. You couldn't just grab her hand or foot and do it yourself; if she laughed out loud, how awkward would that be? If the little enchantress was willing to take the initiative, then there wouldn't even be such a great need to research the technique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two called A-Nuo, and A-Nuo happily pushed the wheelchair out of the door in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun accompanied him, sighing leisurely: \"Look at you, a master, stifling the child like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"As if you and A-Nuo are on good terms. Can you even count how many fights you've had along the way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One thing is one thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo said: \"Master didn't restrict me from going out; I just don't go out myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you dead little brat, I'm speaking for you! You don't go out yourself, so why are you so happy now that you're out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because going out by myself is different from going out with Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun was stunned and had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could also go out by herself, so why did she have to find Lu Xingzhou to accompany her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that A-Nuo's round face looked just like a lantern. Pei Chuyun bent down, her voice full of charm: \"A-Nuo, at such a young age, it's better to focus on cultivation. Why don't you go back? Leave the tiring work of pushing the wheelchair to Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo looked at her with contempt: \"Sister, you'd better go to the stage and sing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun clenched her pink fist and gestured fiercely at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo wasn't afraid of her at all, turned her head with a \"hum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they said they were out shopping, Pei Chuyun didn't have the interest in shopping like ordinary women. In the sect, she had all the resources she wanted, and she really had no interest in jewelry, ornaments, or clothes. The only things that could pique her interest were heavenly treasures, but those couldn't be found by shopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, A-Nuo stole the show, diving into stalls whenever she saw something to eat. Pei Chuyun watched from behind and curled her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but ask: \"You were the one who suggested shopping, why are you so desireless? That time, we only bought a collection of poems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" Pei Chuyun whispered: \"I never felt I wanted to shop either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then today is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun watched A-Nuo standing on tiptoe to place copper coins on the counter, and suddenly smiled: \"You catching me was my first act of kindness toward you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought about it for a long time later, but I didn't understand where my kindness came from. I hated you to death at that time...\" Pei Chuyun sighed: \"Thinking about it, perhaps it was because I saw you and A-Nuo shopping happily behind me that day. That might be a dream I've looked forward to since I was a child but never realized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was stunned and nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it was about the same with Shen Tang. With a lack of fatherly love, seeing such a parent-child scene was particularly touching. Speaking of which, having a cute child seems to be a sharp weapon for picking up girls, much like having a cat that can do backflips at home...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you envy A-Nuo, why don't you do the same?\" Lu Xingzhou smiled gently: \"I see you also love sweets and aren't afraid of getting fat. Just happily go buy and eat... Could it be that you've cultivated for too long and are bound by the Saintess status, and can no longer find the look of happiness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun pointed at her nose: \"I'm an adult, how can I run around like her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are just an eighteen-year-old girl, you have the right to run around the streets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, as if you're very old.\" Despite saying that, Pei Chuyun looked around and saw quite a few girls laughing and playing on the street, shouting loudly at the stalls: \"Boss, Boss, I want this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo's head poked in between two girls' waists: \"I want it too, two candied haws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun ran over angrily and picked up A-Nuo: \"Why two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she turned to the boss and shouted: \"I want three!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, no one on the street thought there was anything wrong with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to pile up the demeanor and shallow smiles like in the sect, no need to put on that hypocritical charm when facing enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little maid out for fun with her family, with the right to run around the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could snatch food from A-Nuo and compete with other girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou didn't even have anyone to push his wheelchair, so he paddled along behind, a faint smile always on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun turned her head inadvertently and saw it, her face burning a little, but she hummed and continued to chase A-Nuo: \"Little brat, don't run! This osmanthus cake is mine. You bought the glutinous rice cake, finished it in one bite, and came to snatch mine. Stop right there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo ran, covering her bag: \"You can buy more, it's not like you don't have money...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dead fatty, why don't you choke to death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou followed behind with a smile, suddenly a talisman appeared in his hand, but it didn't burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost-Driving Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a window sill upstairs, a pair of vicious, snake-like eyes disappeared behind the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around the street corner, he happened to see a Demon-Suppressing Division patrol team. Lu Xingzhou paddled his wheelchair past and said calmly via sound transmission: \"Please notify Miss Sheng that Ye Wufeng is indeed still in the capital. Be sure to strengthen precautions... If you want to take action, you must find me, do not act alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the Demon-Suppressing Division looked solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou continued to chase his maid and child with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Shuang was right... Ye Wufeng and these people seem to really not dare to move against him. Is the Yama King's attitude unpredictable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's really interesting. When he was in the Yama Hall, those people wished he were dead, but now that he's really left, they don't dare to move. He even cursed him as a ghost and told him to get lost with a talisman, and he actually endured it. He had been alone from just now until now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also meant that the possibility of him venting his anger on others had increased. He hoped Gua-mei would keep his warning in mind and not take it lightly, still going to cockfights, horse racing, and hunting...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gua-mei would logically listen to his advice, but the importance might not be sufficient. After all, this is the capital! She might think she had laid out enough nets to hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Ye Wufeng is really dangerous. Without enough cognition, it's possible to capsize. Even Lu Xingzhou himself hadn't seen him for a year and a half, so he couldn't be sure how much Ye Wufeng had grown, or if his previous cognition was enough. Moreover, the Yama Hall had other people in the capital, and Lu Xingzhou didn't know who Ye Wufeng's people were, making them hard to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was thinking, Pei Chuyun and A-Nuo ran back, laughing and playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun giggled and stuffed a candied haw into Lu Xingzhou's mouth: \"Here, don't say we didn't remember you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou bit one, turned his head to look at Pei Chuyun's smiling face, and laughed: \"In all the days I've known you, today's smile is perhaps the best-looking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little enchantress was perhaps afraid that using her power would accidentally hurt passersby, so her power was completely hidden, to the point that this running around made her slightly sweaty. Her hair was slightly messy, sticking to her temples, her face was flushed, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of the youth of a little maid. The daily seductive teasing seemed to exist only in dreams, disappearing in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>",2165,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","89dcb8074eae1443d6d11d54227cbcad70e9341563c5d41c2e5b070420e93010","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-107","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-105",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
