A-Yin, increasingly convinced that she had been deceived by Tang Hao and that her son had been possessed, cried sadly for a long time before slowly calming down.
She bowed to the master and disciple again to apologize, indicating that she wanted to be alone.
Then, A-Yin's illusory female form gradually dissipated.
Only the slender blades of grass with golden patterns, belonging to the Blue Silver Emperor, swayed gently in the breeze.
Seeing this, the master and disciple did not disturb her further.
After experiencing so much, she indeed needed time to think things through.
"Master, are you leaving again tonight?" Dongfang Jing already knew that when Bi Ji left the clan, she was protecting the other sleeping beasts.
Bi Ji's eyes dimmed.
Thinking that Da Ming and Er Ming were guarding the lakeside, the beasts were safe and undisturbed.
Moreover, she herself really didn't want to face Di Tian.
The scene of Di Tian's anger towards her that day, the feeling of grievance and sadness, she still didn't want to recall too much.
Rather than going to the bottom of the lake, Bi Ji preferred to stay with Dongfang Jing.
This disciple never made her sad or wronged; he always cooked delicious food for her and cared for her in every way.
Biji enjoyed the gentleness Dongfang Jing showed her, and she wanted to cherish this disciple even more.
For some reason, she glanced back at the wooden house her disciple had built and softly asked, "Little Mirror, there seems to be an empty room. May I stay here?"
"Of course," Dongfang Jing nodded in agreement.
He had built extra rooms specifically for his master.
Leading Biji to the room, Dongfang Jing opened the door.
The room was simply furnished, but clean and comfortable, with several lush green plants on the windowsill.
Biji looked around, a gentle smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.
"This is very nice," she said softly, her gaze falling on the neatly made bed. "Much more comfortable than at the bottom of the lake."
Dongfang Jing stood in the doorway, watching his master slowly stroll around the room.
She gently stroked the wooden window frame, her fingertips lingering on the flowers and plants on the windowsill for a moment.
"You're truly all-around amazing! Not only do you cook delicious meals, but you can even build houses," Bi Ji couldn't help but praise.
Dongfang Jing smiled, "If Master needs anything, just tell me anytime."
Bi Ji turned around and shook her head.
She walked to the bedside and sat down, feeling the soft mattress, and sighed, "Is this something from the human world?"
"Yes, I had Yao'er bring it over."
As he spoke, Dongfang Jing took out a large pile of miscellaneous items from his soul tool.
There were various snacks, toys, books, and even health supplements for strengthening the body.
The little girl was now at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and as Sword Douluo's disciple, she had practically become the sect's second "little princess."
She had more pocket money than she could spend, so she bought a bunch of random things, all of which were sent to her brother far away in the forest via the Gemini Star Vortex.
Dongfang Jing spread these things out on the ground and shook his head at the sight.
He picked up a small brown paper package, opened it, and saw that it contained some medicinal powder.
If he wasn't mistaken, this should be for aphrodisiacs and virility.
What was this rebellious girl thinking? Why was she buying all this nonsense!
"How old is his brother? Does he need this?"
Brigitte squatted down, looking curiously at the strange things she'd never seen before.
She picked up a packet of herbs and asked, "Disciple, what's this for?"
Dongfang Jing took the bag and fiddled with the herbs inside.
Having studied herbal medicine, he immediately recognized it: "This is a foot bath pack. It contains mugwort, cinnamon, eleutherococcus senticosus, licorice, and ginseng leaves. Its main function is to relieve stress and eliminate fatigue."
"Foot bath?" As a healing-type soul beast, Biji always treated people directly with her soul skills and had never heard of the concept of a foot bath.
"For humans, choosing a suitable foot bath pack and massaging the acupoints on the soles of the feet can indeed be beneficial to the body, such as promoting blood circulation and relieving stress."
Dongfang Jing changed the subject, somewhat helplessly: "However, the effects of foot bath packs vary from person to person, and some merchants exaggerate their effects. My sister was probably fooled by the merchants."
"I see... a foot bath." Biji murmured to herself, seemingly very interested.
Seeing her like this, Dongfang Jing suggested: "Master, would you like to try it? This foot bath pack is harmless, and soaking your feet in hot water is indeed good for the body."
"Is it okay? Then let's try it." Biji nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Dongfang Jing took out a wooden basin and filled it with water from the shallow lake outside.
After putting the foot bath pack in, he lit a fire to boil the water.
While waiting, his gaze fell on the Blue Silver Emperor not far away.
In the moonlight, the Blue Silver Emperor stood there quietly.
Its branches and leaves drooped slightly, making it look particularly lonely and forlorn.
After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Jing whistled.
The Emerald Swan, Xiao Cui, heard the sound and came running over.
It glanced at the brown medicine boiling in the wooden basin, smelled the strange odor, and thought, "This doesn't look like something edible."
"Swan?"
"Xiao Cui, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow. How about you go sleep over there?" Dongfang Jing gestured with his hand, pointing towards the Blue Silver Emperor.
Xiao Cui understood what he meant. As long as it stayed with that beautiful plant, it could eat something delicious!
"Swan, swan!" it called twice and did as Dongfang Jing said.
It walked to the Blue Silver Emperor, raised its neck, and tilted its head to stare at the Blue Silver Emperor.
It looked blank and dazed, and no one knew what it was thinking.
It nestled closer, its body pressed tightly against the branches of the Blue Silver Emperor, and lay down to sleep.
Ah Yin also noticed the emerald swan; the area next to it was warm and cozy.
Without thinking, she stretched out branches and leaves, gently covering the little swan's back.
Ah Yin's lifeless heart seemed to ripple with emotion, as if a small pebble had been thrown in.
Then, she looked in the direction of the young man.
But Dongfang Jing had already carried the wooden basin back into the house. He had just entered his master's room when he saw Bi Ji leaning against the window, looking at him gently, her eyes carrying a hint of something ambiguous, as if teasing him.
Dongfang Jing pretended not to see her and walked straight into the room, saying, "The water temperature is just right, why don't you try it?"
"Okay."
Bi Ji walked to the bedside and sat down, taking off her green high heels to reveal a pair of delicate, smooth jade feet. Her toes were slender and long, and the soles were white as jade, with a faint pink tinge.
Following Dongfang Jing's instructions, Bi Ji dipped her feet into the water.
Aside from the warmth, she felt nothing else.
Just as she was wondering, she saw Dongfang Jing roll up his sleeves, squat down, and reach his hand into the wooden tub, gently touching her feet.
Biji was startled; her heart skipped a beat.
A blush crept across her face, and she said anxiously, "You...you!"
Wasn't it agreed that she couldn't lay a hand on her master?
