“Good eye.”
Huang Hua didn’t even bother to lift her eyelids, just tapped with her fingertip.
An invisible thread snapped instantly.
Muscle.
Then, with a slight support of immortal power, the soft, adorable little Baiyu ball gently floated into Lu Qiancha’s eagerly opened arms.
“Jiiwu~” The little rabbit let out a low chirp like a fledgling bird. It raised its paws, feeling fluffy and warm, not stiff at all.
Lu Qiancha gently stroked the moon rabbit in her arms, feeling great. Then she used a Mountain God talisman to link with this moon rabbit.
Residence in Taoyuan Village +1.
“Jiji!!”
The rabbit seemed to sense the aura of its new home and new owner.
It raised its little head and affectionately rubbed against the back of Lu Qiancha’s paw. Immediately, a wisp of moon-white incense essence entered her dantian, swirling around her Nascent Soul.
Taoyin Wealth Incense.
The name of this moon-white incense suddenly appeared in Lu Qiancha’s mind.
Taoyin Entry Fate, wealth flows naturally. Bright moon high above, pure radiance for miles. Clear waters and osmanthus petals, bestowing longevity and blessings.
It can be used in medicine to receive blessings, or combined to refine spiritual wealth artifacts.
Found a treasure!
“Thank you, Sister Yuanjun.”
Lu Qiancha suppressed her ecstatic joy, her voice sweet and soft as she thanked, while sneaking a quick glance at Xun Xue—Xun Xue’s face was calm and indifferent, showing no abnormality.
Here.
“So good.”
Huang Hua smiled and gently rubbed Lu Qiancha’s little head, but upon seeing Xun Xue’s half-smiling, half-serious expression, the smile on her face faded.
She felt like Xun Xue was getting the upper hand in their seniority this time.
“That’s enough! Gifts received! Rabbit taken!”
Xun Xue stretched out her long arm and decisively grabbed one of Lu Qiancha’s paws firmly.
Then she took out a token without even looking at Huang Hua: “Xiao Gancha, let’s go home. Save us the trouble of some people who don’t like seeing the two of us.”
A flash of light.
Space rippled like water waves.
The two figures instantly disappeared from the center of the great hall.
The vast and cold Guanghan Hall was left with only Huang Hua standing alone. On her breathtakingly beautiful face, a playful smile slowly curled.
She had a premonition that the eternal solitude and coldness of Guanghan Palace would soon become interesting.
The two figures solidified within the flowing light and landed back under the tranquil starlight of the Tianquan Peak courtyard.
Gantang still sat with her hands propping up her cheeks, tilting her head as she gazed at the spot where Lu Qiancha had been, as if time itself had been secretly paused here.
Gantang rubbed her eyes in confusion, her pink eyes full of puzzlement:
“Senior Brother, how did you and Madam suddenly flash like that? Did I see things? Also, Senior Brother, how did you come back? What if Master comes back?”
“?”
Lu Qiancha was slightly stunned.
By her own sense, spending two to three hours gathering medicine in the Moon Palace, meeting the Star Lord, and gaining fortune was no short time.
But Gantang only felt it was a brief flash?
Just as she was about to ask, a palm gently stroked her little head.
Xun Xue’s soft voice sounded with a trace of indifference: “Don’t doubt it. Time flows differently in the Moon Palace realm. Tian Shu’s shift rotates a Yuelun; only then does a day barely pass in the mortal world.”
Lu Qiancha instantly understood. No wonder her silly junior sister was still sitting there, not even changing her posture.
She was just surprised that after she disappeared for so long, Gantang didn’t show any emotional reaction.
That was a close call.
Lu Qiancha almost thought Gantang had changed, suddenly becoming steady.
“Senior Brother?”
Gantang leaned closer, her pink eyes almost touching Lu Qiancha’s face. “What’s this heavenly time and Yuelun stuff?”
She tilted her head, trying hard to understand these overly mystical terms. “Are you two speaking in riddles?”
“Hmm…” Lu Qiancha suppressed the strange feeling of temporal displacement and patiently told a simplified version of her Moon Palace adventure.
“Ah?”
Upon hearing this, Gantang’s small mouth immediately formed an exaggerated “O.” “Senior Brother, you actually went to the heavens?”
“Oh, right.” Lu Qiancha timely interrupted Gantang’s impending barrage of questions and pulled out a gem emitting a dreamy purple glow from her storage ring. “Here, this is a souvenir I brought you from the Moon Palace.”
“Wow! Such a beautiful gem!”
Gantang was immediately captivated by the dazzling purple light. She snatched the gem and, reluctant to part with it, turned it over and over in the moonlight.
The enchanting purple aura swirled in her eyes, instantly capturing the whole heart of this little bird.
***
The next second.
Before Lu Qiancha could react, a pink-blue figure with tremendous momentum pounced fiercely.
Gantang locked Lu Qiancha in place with a solid bear hug.
Her little head, like a cat who found the best pillow, rubbed madly and contentedly against Lu Qiancha’s cheek.
Her voice mixed extreme joy and mumbling: “Wuwu~ Senior Brother… you treat me so well, I feel like I can never be apart from you for my whole life.”
“Ugh?! Wait… let go!”
Lu Qiancha felt like she was being squeezed breathless. Her little paws tried in vain to push away the overly excited little bird. “Face! My face is getting squished!”
“Oh oh oh!” Only then did Gantang belatedly release her grip but still looked at Lu Qiancha with eyes sparkling with the urge to hug more.
“Really… you even messed up my clothes…” Lu Qiancha frowned, struggling to smooth the rumpled collar and sleeves. This junior sister’s enthusiasm was really overwhelming.
Nearby.
Xun Xue silently watched the playful interaction of this senior brother and junior sister (?), her eyes holding a faint smile.
Only then did she step forward gently, helping to straighten Lu Qiancha’s disheveled collar and smooth the slight wrinkles on her sleeves.
She had no intention of interfering with young people’s intimate play.
As long as the child was happy and didn’t cross any boundaries, she would let them be.
Just then.
“Jiji!”
A fluffy white figure suddenly teleported, “puff,” jumping straight into Lu Qiancha’s arms.
It was that tiny and exquisite moon-white little rabbit.
“Eh?!”
Lu Qiancha was a bit stunned. She had clearly stored it inside the Taoyuan Village secret realm.
How did the rabbit… get out on its own?!
“Wow! Such a cute little rabbit!”
Gantang’s attention was instantly reignited, her pink eyes sparkling like stars. She couldn’t help but step forward and reached to stroke the snowball-like little rabbit’s head.
“Ji!”
The moon rabbit reacted like lightning with a fierce sound, opening its mouth.
“Snap!”
Without mercy, it bit down hard on Gantang’s outstretched palm.
“Ow!”
Gantang let out a wail and quickly pulled her hand back. Clear little bite marks were printed on her fair hand.
Pouting, she pointed at the little rabbit in Lu Qiancha’s arms, her voice full of grievance: “Bad rabbit. Senior Brother, this rabbit bit me!”
Seeing the fresh blood on Gantang’s hand, Lu Qiancha couldn’t help but frown.
She raised her paw and firmly tapped the moon rabbit’s little head, which was still tilting innocently, with a crisp dong!
Then she squinted, her voice carrying a warning: “No biting people. Or else I’ll hit you and not feed you. Understand?”
