Chapter 346: Chapter 182 "Junior Brother, Jin’an Dog has 2 meanings, one of which is ’Jin’an is a dog’.
"Master, look, quick look!"
Xiao Li wagged her tail, reaching out her paws to poke at Qiu Qingtang’s calf: "Young Master Lu is opening the Dao Palace again."
"I saw." Qiu Qingtang crossed her arms, smiling slightly: "To correct you, you misread two words."
"Huh?" Xiao Li looked up at Qiu Qingtang, asking in confusion: "Which two words?"
"Critique, meddling."
???
Xiao Li widened her eyes at Qiu Qingtang, hesitating a moment before asking: "Master, aren’t you feeling quite suppressed?"
"Indeed." Qiu Qingtang squatted down, stroking Xiao Li’s head, her pure face filled with sadness: "It’s been days since having a satisfying discussion about certain topics."
"Sigh, although Master Pei knows a bit, sometimes can’t keep up with my pace."
Qiu Qingtang looked up at the star power connecting heaven and earth, her pink eyes full of grievances: "If I can’t discuss, I can’t watch either, you know what this feeling is like?"
Xiao Li lowered her head without speaking, because she knew once she asked, her master would definitely throw another suggestive remark into her head.
Qiu Qingtang spoke to herself: "It’s like I’m ready, but Young Master Lu can’t keep up."
"..." Xiao Li silently pondered over how Young Master Lu would respond to this, but she couldn’t figure it out.
Unable to think of anything, she could only comfort: "If your plan succeeds early, not only can you watch, but also personally experience."
"Is that so?" Qiu Qingtang pinched the little one’s ears: "But for now... endure it for a bit."
She got up and stepped forward: "Out of sight, out of mind, accompany me to tinker with some new things."
Xiao Li followed her master’s pace, wisely not asking more questions.
Because once she asked, the master would definitely get excited and talk endlessly.
Then she wouldn’t be able to keep up with the master’s pace, and she would be reprimanded with remarks like ’after listening for so many years, why no progress.’
Sometimes she would even be used as an experiment.
Xiao Li felt fortunate to maintain her virgin state in her master’s hands.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to be a maid accompanying the dowry... and couldn’t always be with her master.

Taichu Peak.
The usually dim and icy back mountain cave mansion was now filled with the torrent-like star power of the Tianquan Star, scorching and dazzling.
The scorching energy did not tear apart the mountain body because last time when Lu Jin’an broke through the Dao Palace Nine Stars, Pei Wanyu had set up a spell to divert it on Taichu Peak’s barrier in advance.
Hence, all star power was flooding in from the entrance of the cave mansion.
Seated cross-legged on the Soul Suppressing Jade Marrow Platform, Lu Jin’an pinched a spell, and the vast spiritual power protected the items inside the cave mansion.
The mountain had the master’s array inscriptions, so no worries about damage, but the items inside the house belonging to Senior Sister couldn’t withstand the scorching star power, so they must be protected in advance.
Although he had already opened four Dao Palaces, because the Wenqu Palace was located in the brain, Lu Jin’an dared not be careless.
If, by any chance, he were burned into a fool by the scorching star power, it would be a great loss.
So after casting a spell to protect the senior sister’s items, Lu Jin’an immersed his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, concentrating all his attention to draw the star power into the brain to open the Wenqu Palace.
The Soul Suppressing Jade Marrow Platform was emitting a faint white light, and the icy aura surged into Lu Jin’an’s body, alleviating the heat around him to an extent.
But Lu Jin’an didn’t care about this icy aura, not to mention that the Senior Sister would be here shortly, the Yin Rules stored within himself were also enough to alleviate the star power.
If speaking of any feeling, it was that the tranquility on the Sea of Consciousness level brought by the Soul Suppressing Jade Marrow Platform was incredibly comfortable.
Vaguely, he seemed to sense the soul power that Senior Sister had nourished in the Soul Suppressing Jade Marrow Platform entering his Sea of Consciousness, faintly wandering.
Lu Jin’an frowned slightly, without much hesitation he allocated a portion of soul power to dispel the wisps of cloud-like, mist-like soul power that Senior Sister kept infusing into the Sea of Consciousness.
After doing this, he refocused his attention on opening the Wenqu Palace.
Beneath Lu Jin’an, the Soul Suppressing Jade Marrow Platform exuded a mist of icy white, and vaguely, a black phoenix illusion silently flew towards him from under the platform.
Mu Qingyue traversed the hundred-meter-long cave mansion corridor, surrounded by ice-attributed sword qi, isolating the scorching aura of star power.
With innate ice-attributed spiritual power, speaking in terms of the previous cultivation system, she had an innate ice spiritual root, thus she didn’t like hot things... unless the heat source came from the Junior Brother.
So her body emitting ice white spiritual power dissipated as she got closer to the Soul Suppressing Jade Marrow Platform, smelling and feeling the heat emanating from Junior Brother, she dissolved her spiritual power.
Mu Qingyue slowed her steps, lips lightly pressed, the silver hair usually bound in a high ponytail now cascading down her back, dancing under the release of star power.
She stopped, her moon-white deep clothes with curved sleeves dancing with the energy discharge, outlining her waist and hip curves more prominently.
The half-closed placket stirred, revealing the collarbone line, showing that Mu Qingyue only wore this singular deep garment reaching her ankles.
She looked at the distant Lu Jin’an but did not approach immediately.
Instead, she turned and opened the cabinets protected by Junior Brother’s spiritual power one by one, then took out a chain three fingers thick and a dishpan with a diameter of fifty centimeters from one of the cabinets.
Mu Qingyue glanced back at Junior Brother, knowing that he was focusing on opening the Dao Palace, temporarily having no energy to pay attention to the surroundings, she calmly placed the triangular wooden horse, cross, and whip-like tools in prominent places.
