Hearing Lu Jingzhi's caring words, the Great Elder smiled and patted Lu Jingzhi on the shoulder. "It's not hard, it's not hard. Just focus on your cultivation. Don't worry about other things. Leave it to us to handle."
After saying this, he quickened his pace and walked forward, and soon his figure disappeared around the corner.
Lu Jingzhi looked at the Great Elder's receding back.
After a while, he slowly turned around and said to Yan An beside him, "Madam, there is a lotus pond over there. How about we go over and take a look?"
Yan An looked in the direction of his finger and saw a shimmering surface of water not far away, dotted with blooming lotus flowers, which was very beautiful.
"good."
Lotus Pond——
The pool water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding scenery.
The pond is full of blooming lotus flowers, colorful, and the pink ones are as beautiful as a beautiful woman's smile.
The white one is as pure as snow, like a fairy descending to the earth.
The red ones are as ardent as the sunset glow in the sky. The lotus flowers bloom gracefully or shyly, with various postures.
The lotus leaves are like emerald discs, covering the water surface layer by layer, with occasional crystal beads rolling on them, as bright as pearls.
As the breeze blows, the lotus flowers and lotus leaves dance, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance.
The pavilion in the pond has a unique charm.
The pavilion is supported by vermilion pillars and has high upturned eaves.
The roof of the pavilion is covered with green glazed tiles, and there are stone tables and stone benches inside the pavilion, which is exquisite and simple.
Lu Jingzhi held Yan An's hand, stepped lightly on the lotus flowers like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then landed in the pavilion.
Lu Jingzhi looked around and took in the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond.
The lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and the lotus leaves are swaying gently in the wind.
At this time, a clear and pleasant sound of play came from the pool not far away.
When Lu Jingzhi heard the sound, he looked and saw Gu Keke and Luo Xue sitting leisurely on a wooden boat.
They each held a lotus in their hands, playing and drifting in the rippling lotus pond, with happy smiles on their faces, and they were having fun.
“Brother, sister!”
Gu Keke stood excitedly at the bow, rolled up her trouser legs, revealing a pair of pink and white calves, and her two bare little feet stepped on the deck.
Holding the beautiful lotus in her hand, she smiled brightly.
"I have a lotus, it's so beautiful!"
"It is very beautiful, but be careful not to fall."
"Oh, okay."
After hearing Lu Jingzhi's instructions, Gu Keke nodded obediently, then turned around and prepared to get off the bow of the boat.
At this moment, her feet lost their balance and her body suddenly fell backwards.
With a "splash" sound, the whole person fell into the water in an instant.
Lu Jingzhi was shocked when he saw this and wanted to rush over to rescue Gu Keke to the shore.
Gu Keke quietly emerged from the water like a little mole, her round little head.
Luo Xue paddled the wooden oar in her hand and explained, "You don't know, but Keke can actually swim. She can even sleep underwater."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi's eyes widened instantly, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Lu Jingzhi turned to look at Gu Keke in disbelief.
After all, this ability is simply a fantasy for normal people and is far beyond the scope of what normal humans can possess.
Luo Xue looked at his surprised expression, shrugged helplessly, and explained: "In fact, I didn't believe it at all at first, but the facts are in front of me, and I can't help but believe it."
Recalling the time in the Monster Forest, Gu Keke suddenly developed a strong interest in swimming and pestered Luo Xue to learn it.
Seeing how excited she was, Luo Xue casually taught her a few basic movements and key points.
Unexpectedly, this little guy was gifted and quickly mastered these skills. He fell in love with playing in the water from then on.
As the days passed, Gu Keke's swimming skills improved. Until one day...
Luo Xue invited a few friends from the demon tribe to play on the shore, and tried to grill some barbecue according to the method taught to her by Lu Jingzhi.
I want to show off my newfound skills to my friends.
Although the final product was burnt and the taste was not satisfactory, it did not affect the good mood of the few people at all, and they still enjoyed baking.
However, just as she was fully immersed in the barbecue, a terrified cry suddenly came from the side.
"Oh no! Koko disappeared while playing in the water!"
