Wanting to try what it felt like to be a human couple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou thought for a moment and put a chopstick of food into Ye Tinglan’s bowl: \"This is not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, before, when he gave her exotic beast meat, she firmly refused to eat it, disgusted that it was something he had picked up; this time, Ye Tinglan ate it with a smile, extremely naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also talking about more natural topics, which was really no different from a couple discussing work: \"Qingli went to find Si Han and hasn't reported back yet. I’m wondering if I should ask about it; are you okay by yourself here? I’ll go and come back. If it doesn't work, I’ll ask via jade talisman communication.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"Of course it’s no problem; no one else knows I’m here, what could happen... But speaking of this, what’s the deal with Qingli’s background?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"Hasn't she mentioned it to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Lu Xingzhou shook his head: \"My contact with Qingli is actually quite limited; there haven't been many private exchanges. And she doesn't talk much, so it’s even less likely she would mention her privacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan’s expression was clearly brighter; the obedient disciple and the little man really didn't have anything going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Jade disciples are self-respecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment, casually set up an anti-eavesdropping barrier, and replied: \"Qingli was picked up by my... Senior Sister. Guess where she was picked up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said without hesitation: \"Frozen Moon Cold River.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\" Ye Tinglan said: \"And she was in an infant state, frozen, and dug out by Senior Sister. Senior Sister originally thought it was a dead baby, but when she melted the ice and looked, she could still be saved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really are calling her Senior Sister, Lu Xingzhou thought, feeling both annoyed and amused, and then he was drawn in by the event itself, pondering in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such a clearly bizarre event, a more timid person would probably not dare to get involved in such karma, and a demonic disciple would probably treat this baby as a research subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the person she met was Ye Tinglan, who was both highly skilled and bold, and the leader of the righteous path; she clearly couldn't bear to ignore a cute human infant, so she chose to adopt her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at this performance, was Little Bai Mao really a human infant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a human infant survive in ice... But when Ye Tinglan met Little Bai Mao, she should have already been at the Super Grade, probably at the early stage of Super Grade? Her ability at that time was enough for her to distinguish what kind of attribute a creature was; even if it was hidden tightly, it would be hard to escape her deliberate inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Ye Tinglan said: \"Senior Sister checked, and she was human, with no demonic parasites. But she had an innate Ice-Cold Body, and it had mutated; it was an Ice-Cold Sword Body. Ordinary families probably couldn't afford to raise her, fearing that anyone around her would be frozen. And when her eyes opened, they were blue; they probably thought they had given birth to a monster and were scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nezha, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing...\" Lu Xingzhou pondered: \"You... Senior Sister, felt that Qingli might have been abandoned for this reason, and because of the Ice-Cold Body, she didn't freeze to death, but was slowly frozen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could only be for this reason, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou held up two fingers: \"Two questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, go ahead.\" Ye Tinglan smiled with her eyes curved; of course, she brought this up hoping the little man would offer advice. Look how obedient he is; he doesn't even need her to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, how could an ordinary family give birth to an Ice-Cold Sword Body... Assuming she has parents, these parents must also be powerful cultivators. The reason for abandonment might not be that they couldn't afford to raise her; the possibility of treating her as a demon reincarnation exists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, what’s the second?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, whose family would specifically throw an abandoned infant into the Frozen Moon Cold River? Just find a river at the door and throw her in, and that would be the end of it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"The Heavenly Jade top brass discussed this back then; many people felt this matter was bizarre, and it was also for this reason that many people didn't agree with the adoption, saying that it might bring a disaster to the sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou subconsciously spoke up for Little Bai Mao: \"That’s too cowardly, isn't it? A Holy Land, fearing an infant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan laughed: \"Senior Sister thought so too. No matter what, could you fear an infant? We have so many years to observe slowly, and the child’s concepts can also be instilled and cultivated by us; what is there to fear? Even if she really is a demon, we can deal with it after she’s exposed; there’s no need to be so hesitant at such a young age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou laughed: \"As expected of the Holy Mistress, you have more breadth of mind than others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ye Tinglan immediately thought of him always wanting to nuzzle into her embrace, and the scene of him holding the waves and sleeping all night yesterday; her smiling face immediately stiffened: \"The Heavenly Jade Holy Mistress naturally has breadth of mind. What else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, alright.\" Lu Xingzhou now felt that the pile of messy identities she had put on him was just for fun. He laughed and put more food in her bowl: \"I admire the Holy Mistress so much; it’s practically adoration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan couldn't help but laugh out loud: \"Showing love to another woman in front of me, do you want to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"So what is our relationship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan turned her head and didn't make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou laughed: \"Miss Yuan Muyu, please continue.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-18T01:46:10.354Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c7edb6e1a8d025b58327512a5b8dec421893156893c289b9981329723a42c49b","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-239","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-237",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
