"Just sleep on your own and continue practicing later."
Lu Jingzhi nodded slightly and took out the already cold meat bun from his storage ring. "Master, do you want to eat?"
"No."
Lu Jingzhi took out a pot from the ring, poured some lake water into the pot, took out a round bamboo rack for steaming food, and then covered the pot with a lid. He held up the pot with one hand and released the mysterious fire with the other hand to boil the water inside.
In less than five minutes, steam rose from the pot and quickly became heated.
Hungry Lu Jingzhi took out a steaming meat bun the size of his fist from the pot with his bare chest.
"Master, here's what you're eating."
Yan An opened his eyes and looked up at him, "Didn't I say no?"
"Eat some, it's delicious."
"No, eat it yourself."
Lu Jingzhi tore open a piece of the bun, revealing half a piece of fragrant meat filling inside. The meat filling was shiny under the light of the two lanterns on the wooden boat.
Yan An hesitated for a moment, opened his little mouth and took a bite of the meat bun he fed him.
"How does it taste?"
"Yeah, not bad."
"Of course, this is Luo Xue's favorite bun." As Lu Jingzhi spoke, he tore off another piece and fed it to Yan An's mouth.
She took another bite embarrassedly, "Does she like this?"
"Of course, you don't know. She eats ten baskets of meat buns in one morning." As he spoke, he placed the remaining bun next to her mouth. Her tender red lips touched his fingers. "As a result, the workload of Aunt Gu Juan and the kitchen staff has increased a lot. Everyone calls her Big Fat Bear."
Upon hearing this, Yan An couldn't help but smile while eating a bun. His eyebrows and eyes curved like the crescent moon in the sky, and dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, making him look playful.
Lu Jingzhi was stunned and his breathing seemed to stop.
"What are you looking at?"
Facing that fiery gaze, Yan An lowered his head, his cheeks flushed slightly.
"Master, you are so beautiful when you smile, but you usually have a blank expression."
"Well... laughing is too much of a luxury for me."
After hearing this, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but touch her head. "Why do you say that? Isn't Master the empress who is above everyone else and below everyone else? Holding great power and commanding the world, isn't that beautiful, joyful, and wonderful?"
Yan An's body trembled. She had never been touched on the head like this before. For a moment, she felt a little helpless, but when she heard his words, she immediately regained her composure, slapped his hand away, and stood up to face him.
"You don't know what I've been through? What I'm shouldering? There's no such thing as happiness for an emperor."
"Why? Isn't being an emperor...?"
Whenever he saw in TV dramas that ancient emperors had three thousand beauties in their harems, held great power, and could decide life and death with a single word, he couldn't help but sigh at his own hard-working life and the miserable existence he led at the bottom of society.
Yan An turned around, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and recalled, "Everyone wants this position. No matter the open struggle, the insidious viciousness in the dark, or the invasion of foreign enemies, they will all lead you to eternal damnation and even bring harm to those around you."
“…”
Lu Jingzhi behind him was speechless for a while, and after a long silence...he spoke.
"I will be there to help you, but now, you are not the Empress, but my Master, so laugh if you want."
Hearing this, Yan An unconsciously smiled and snorted, "You talk too much nonsense. Bring me two buns."
"Okay, Master."
The master and the disciple sat together and ate the steamed meat buns in the pot.
After eating, Lu Jingzhi sat aside and concentrated his energy to practice.
At this moment, he was surprised to find that during the few hours he swam in the water, his body's potential had been squeezed out and his cultivation had made some small breakthroughs.
Yan An looked at the man practicing in front of her and his terrifying training speed, which made her feel extremely relieved, but also worried.
[Sigh, I wonder if he can control this bloodline in the future.]
[I am at the Half-Step Void Realm. Will I be able to stop him in the future?]
[However, this Void Mirror is truly an insurmountable gap.]
After soaking in the spiritual spring, Yan An successfully stepped into the half-step void, but what was really rare was that countless powerful people had spent their entire lives trying to reach the second half of the void.
