When Meng Zan saw the person coming, his face was full of joy. "Female..." Before he could finish his words, he saw other people around and immediately covered his mouth.
Seeing that Meng Zan had something to say to her, she looked at Lu Jingzhi and said, "I have something to say to him, please wait here for a moment."
"Okay, Master, go ahead."
Meng Zan was surprised to see Lu Jingzhi calling Yan An "Master".
"Let's go."
Meng Zan came to his senses and followed Yan An...the two stopped not far away.
"Lady Empress, have you accepted a disciple?"
Yan An didn't show any strange expression and nodded calmly, "Well, how did you know I was here?"
"Jin Fengxi told me that she also accepted an apprentice, and he has quite a talent."
"I know that disciple. Let me ask you, what is the situation in the Demon Realm right now? Do they have any suspicions about you coming to look for me?"
Meng Zan scratched his head awkwardly, hesitating and saying nothing.
"Hurry up and tell me, why are you hesitating?"
Hearing Yan An's somewhat cold voice, Meng Zan's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Lady Empress, I'm exposed."
Yan An rolled his eyes at him and shook his head helplessly.
"However, I know the black dragons' purpose."
"What's the purpose?"
"They want the remains of our four clans' ancestors! The key lies in your hands, so please be careful, Empress."
In the Demon Realm's ancestral burial realm, the remains of the four sacred beasts, Suzaku, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, are buried. In addition, there are also the remains of all the previous demon emperors and clan leaders.
Only during the annual ancestor worship festival, or when the bloodline is passed down, will the demon emperor use the key to open the ancestral burial realm for worship or inheritance.
Upon hearing this, Yan An's face darkened, "Is this Black Dragon crazy?!"
Meng Zan sighed softly, "He wanted to use Elder Huo and Uncle Yan to threaten you to hand over the key, but some of the dragons resisted severely."
"However, if he still can't break through the boundary gate, he might try to go against everyone's opinion."
Yan An clenched her fists, her pretty face frosty, and then took a deep breath to calm herself down. "If he dares to threaten me with my parents, then we'll fight to the death."
"Yes, Your Majesty, but I... I have nowhere to go now..." He lowered his head, his voice getting lower and lower.
After he obtained the intelligence and was exposed, he also escaped from the pursuit. When he fled to a desert town in the ancient wilderness, he met Jin Fengxi by chance. Now, he has nowhere to go.
"Well, then come with me."
"good."
Yan An took him back to the door of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Master, are you done talking?"
"Yeah, but he has nowhere to go." After saying that, he turned his gaze to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, does the law enforcement team need anyone else?"
Lu Xiaoya was stunned. She had just rejected him not long ago, but now Yan An was asking about this...
"Of course we need it. Meng Zan is welcome to join us."
"That's good. You stay here for the time being and protect this place."
"Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Afterwards, Lu Xiaoya took him to report to the law enforcement team...
Yan An looked depressed. He returned to his room in silence and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Lu Jingzhi saw this and after hesitating for a while asked, "Master, what happened?"
“…”
"master?"
"Hmm?" Yan An came back to his senses and looked at Lu Jingzhi blankly, "What's wrong?"
He sat on the bed and gently stroked Yan An's head, "What happened?"
"It's okay, you just need to practice well."
Looking at Yan An's somewhat forced smile, he pulled her into his arms with his right hand, running his fingertips through her soft hair, "Did something happen in the Demon Realm?"
Yan An pursed his lips tightly, listening to the sonorous heartbeat, and uttered a soft "hmm". After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, "You should practice well now. It's just that the black dragon wants to attack my parents, but because my parents have made many contributions to the demon race before, most people oppose it."
"I just don't know when he will suddenly take action."
Lu Jingzhi was silent for a few seconds. His throat felt dry and his shoulders suddenly felt heavier.
"I'll accompany you."
"If you go, you won't be able to come back."
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are being bullied, how can I hide behind them?"
Yan An raised her little face, reached out and stroked his cheek, a smile on her lips, "Silly boy."
The next morning, chirping birds were singing outside the window.
After a night of training, the two men got out of bed, put on their clothes, boarded the small ark they had looted from Akabane Peak, and flew towards the ancient wilderness...
Lu Jingzhi added mysterious energy to the ship-controlling formation. As long as it was full, it could fly at a constant speed for eight hours.
At this time, the Ark had reached a speed of 180 yards, floating in the clouds, and the Ark was wrapped in a layer of red shield to withstand the oncoming strong wind.
"This thing is really more useful than a car. This world of cultivation really opens my eyes."
After he sighed, he turned around and looked at Yan An, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, swinging her beautiful legs.
"Master, how long will it take to reach this ancient and desolate place?"
"It will take another 12 hours."
Gurgle gurgle…
Suddenly, Lu Jingzhi's stomach began to growl. He hadn't eaten any rice this morning, so his stomach began to protest angrily.
"Hungry?"
"Yeah, I'm hungry." He said, touching his stomach.
Yan An nodded and disappeared from the spot.
After a while... she brought out a wild chicken and said, "Bring out your pots, pans, oil, and salt."
Lu Jingzhi was stunned when he heard her words, "Master, you want to cook for yourself?"
"Well, what? You want to do it yourself?"
"No, I've never tasted it. What about the chef's craftsmanship?"
After saying that, he took out a big black pot from his storage ring and placed the big black pot on the small stove. This was a pot he had specially asked Ye Wu to make for him, so it could adapt to high temperatures.
Then... he took out the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and placed them one by one.
"Master, do you need any side dishes?"
"No, just pluck the chicken and wash it."
"Okay."
Lu Jingzhi came to the stern, took out a wooden basin, scalded the hair with hot water, and plucked it, then cut it open and cleaned the internal organs...
A quarter of an hour later, a clean, four-pound spirit chicken was brought over.
Yan An took it and said, "You can go into the house and rest. I'll take care of this."
Lu Jingzhi was a little worried, "Master, is this really possible?"
"Tsk, after all, your master has lived for hundreds of years, so you can rest assured."
Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi said nothing more and returned to the bed in the room to rest...
He sat cross-legged, took a deep breath to calm himself, then activated his Dantian to absorb the mysterious energy from outside.
[My last breakthrough was over ten days ago. I feel like my Xuan Qi is a bit weak right now. I'll focus on strengthening my cultivation over the next few days.]
Half an hour passed quickly...
Yan An opened the door and walked in, holding a bowl of soup in his hand.
"Jingzhi, how does it taste?"
