Qin Mu looked at the tall, imposing woman in front of him with a face full of confusion.
To be honest, he really hadn’t seen her before.
Similarly, upon learning the identity of the boy before her, Wang Yan’er hurriedly released the restriction and pulled the boy into her arms.
“Mm mm mm!”
Qin Mu once again experienced the agonizing torment of the milk scent, and this time, it was especially intense.
The white softness was the largest Young Master Qin had ever encountered, and judging from personal experience, it seemed even bigger than Aunt Lu’s.
Wang Yan’er hugged the boy in her arms tightly, her emotions surging.
“I never thought I’d see Mu’er again after so many years.”
Suddenly sensing the breath in her embrace growing weak, Wang Yan’er lowered her head.
All she could see was the back of the boy’s head.
She hurriedly loosened her hold.
“Puh—ha!”
Qin Mu finally caught his breath and looked up at this Star Plucking Tower Master.
“Big sister, do we…know each other?”
Upon hearing Qin Mu’s words, Wang Yan’er tapped his forehead with her fingertip.
“What big sister? Call me aunt.”
“As for you not having any impression of me, Mu’er, it’s normal.”
“Your mother and I became sworn sisters, and I often looked after you when you were young.”
“Later, I saw you less and less.”
Wang Yan’er looked at the boy who had once been a tiny child but had now grown so much.
In her eyes, his youthful face was still cute, just like when he was small.
At her words, some memories did surface in Qin Mu’s mind.
In his recollections, there was indeed a well-endowed, imposing woman.
But at that time, he had just arrived in this world, muddled every day, so his memories weren’t clear.
“Then…Aunt Wang?”
Qin Mu tried asking.
Upon hearing the “Aunt Wang,” Wang Yan’er frowned slightly.
It had a strong next-door-old-Wang vibe.
“In the future, call me Aunt Yan’er. No calling me Aunt Wang. Understand?”
Qin Mu nodded quickly.
Over the years, based on his observations of the older sisters and Aunt Lu, he’d learned that whatever they did was always right, and it was best to just obey unconditionally.
Wang Yan’er pulled Qin Mu’s hand and sat at the table.
“Tell Aunt, Mu’er, how did you appear here?”
Qin Mu dared not hide anything and recounted everything honestly.
After listening, Wang Yan’er pondered for a moment.
“So, this reunion with you, Mu’er, must be fate.”
“Fate?”
Qin Mu thought to himself, all this talk of fate sounded like the nonsense those monks used to swindle people.
Oh, right, in his previous world, monks were pretty strong too, but their ability to swindle remained unmatched.
Wang Yan’er’s lips curled up in a smile.
“All things in the world are tied to fate, or more accurately, to causality.”
“The word Dao is too profound. For Mu’er, it’s still too early to understand.”
Looking at Qin Mu, whom she hadn’t seen in so long, the unmarried Wang Yan’er felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Wang Yan’er’s slender hand took Qin Mu’s, placing her finger on his wrist.
True Qi probed out, and with her cultivation, everything inside Qin Mu’s body was clear as day.
“Mu’er has taken Marrow Cleansing Fruit?”
Qin Mu felt a stream of True Qi running about inside him and replied,
“I’ve taken it, but now my meridians are hard to expand further.”
Chotto matte!
A spark flashed in Qin Mu’s mind.
Miss Mengyu couldn’t help, as her current level wasn’t enough.
But this newly recognized Aunt Yan’er was different.
She was definitely a top powerhouse!
The Star Plucking Tower Master—just with that identity, her cultivation was at least at the Tribulation Crossing level.
Qin Mu immediately gathered his feelings, about to speak.
But Wang Yan’er spoke first.
“Eh, unfortunately, I rarely studied Medicine Path before, so I dare not act recklessly.”
Crack!
Qin Mu turned to stone on the spot.
He hadn’t even asked yet, and his hopes were already crushed mercilessly.
T﹏T
Tears welled up.
From Qin Mu’s words, Wang Yan’er learned of the Demon Clan’s presence in the Great Yu Dynasty.
Without hesitation, she prepared to set out personally.
After all, her relationship with the royal family of the Great Yu Dynasty was decent.
Upon hearing that the Tower Master intended to personally visit the Great Yu Dynasty, everyone in the Star Plucking Tower sprang into action and immediately contacted the Division stationed there.
Because Wang Yan’er disliked men, those around her were almost exclusively women.
At regular high-level meetings, male cultivators also kept their distance and tried to minimize their presence.
But today, the entire Star Plucking Tower watched as their Tower Master led a young man onto the flying ship, and everyone looked as if they’d seen a ghost.
“Am I seeing things? The Tower Master actually held a man’s hand!”
“Pa!”
“Li! What are you doing?! Dare to hit me?!”
“Hmm! Looks like I’m not dreaming!”
“This world really has gone crazy!”
Qin Mu stepped onto the flying ship, experiencing for the first time what it meant to be truly wealthy.
Unlike the flying ship he’d used with Miss Mengyu, which just fit a few people, this one was a moving miniature city, over a thousand meters long and several hundred meters wide.
Qin Mu was directly assigned the room next to Wang Yan’er and ordered to be treated with the highest standards.
Soon, night fell.
Since Qin Mu was still at the Qi Refining Stage, Wang Yan’er specially ordered a feast of delicious dishes to be prepared.
“Mu’er, don’t be shy. Eat.”
Wang Yan’er smiled slightly.
The large white softness was particularly eye-catching.
Qin Mu couldn’t help glancing several more times, only to realize that Wang Yan’er was looking straight into his eyes.
He hurriedly shifted his gaze, burying himself in food to distract himself.
Of course, Wang Yan’er noticed Qin Mu’s furtive glances at her softness.
Though her face remained calm, her heart was flustered.
If another man dared look at her that way, Wang Yan’er would have sent him straight to the underworld.
But Qin Mu’s secret gaze instead brought her a strange excitement, making her want to pull him into her arms.
No, no!
She was Mu’er’s aunt—even if not by blood, she was still an elder.
How could she have such thoughts?
Wang Yan’er quickly sipped her tea to calm herself.
And so, the dinner ended with both harboring thoughts they couldn’t voice.
Returning to her room, Wang Yan’er took out a Communication Jade, infused it with True Qi, and soon a lazy yet magnetic voice rang out.
“Yo, our big busybody, Tower Master Wang, actually remembered me.”
Wang Yan’er snorted coldly.
“Lu, I didn’t contact you today to argue.”
“Guess who I met today?”
“What, could it be the little lover you’ve longed for?”
“Speaking of which, when a woman lacks a man’s company for too long, life just loses some flavor.”
The voice from the Communication Jade was full of teasing.
“Hmph! A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory!”
Wang Yan’er sneered.
“And you talk as if you’ve ever had a man, Lu.”
“Hehe~”
A mischievous laugh sounded.
“Though I don’t have a man, I have Mu’er.”
“And even if Mu’er is still a bit young now, he’ll definitely be handsome in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan’er lowered her voice.
“Then guess now, whose side is Mu’er on?”
The Communication Jade fell silent for a moment.
A long pause passed, and the once lazy voice turned calm.
“Wang Yan’er, Mu’er is with you?!”
“Not too slow after all.”
Wang Yan’er praised, then added,
“You tried so hard to keep me from meeting Mu’er, but who could have guessed—Mu’er came straight to me~”
Life sure has many twists and turns
