Lu Xiaoya's pretty face instantly flushed with a charming blush.
She replied shyly, "I know...I know, Auntie."
Then, she carefully helped Meng Zan up and slowly walked towards Meng Zan's room.
Mu Jin stood quietly there, his eyes closely following their figures as they walked away, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
When the two figures finally disappeared from sight, Mu Jin couldn't help but think of the difficult situation Yan An was in at the moment, and could only sigh inwardly in desperation.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Jin sat back in the Lotus Pavilion and reached out to take out the soul storage jar from his arms.
She stretched out her finger and gently touched the tank.
"Old Lu, our son will definitely be able to successfully rescue Yan An, right?"
On the other side, Lu Xiaoya had already helped Meng Zan back into the house and put him on the bed.
Then, she gently covered Meng Zan with a soft quilt, fearing that she would wake him up from his sleep.
After doing all this, Lu Xiaoya sat quietly by the bed, staring at Meng Zan's quiet face, and the emotions in her heart became more and more complicated.
Suddenly, Meng Zan slowly opened his eyes, and a simple smile instantly blossomed on his slightly tired face, "Xiaoya, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After a brief pause, she lowered her head slightly, pursed her pink lower lip, and looked at Meng Zan with a firm gaze, "When you return to the demon tribe in two months, I must go with you."
Hearing this, Meng Zan was stunned and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He shook his head subconsciously, and said in a serious and worried tone, "No, Xiaoya, the demon tribe is not a safe place nowadays. It is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may die."
"It's best for you to stay in the Lu Mansion obediently. This is the safest way."
However, facing Meng Zan's rejection, Lu Xiaoya had no intention of backing down.
She clenched her hands into fists, placed them on her chest, and leaned forward slightly. "No! I told you I want to go with you!"
"No matter how many dangers lie ahead, I'm not afraid!"
Seeing this, Meng Zan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He knew that once the girl in front of him made up her mind, it would be difficult for her to change it easily.
So he took a deep breath and tried to persuade her from a different angle.
"Xiaoya, if I really let you follow me to the demon tribe, what if you encounter any accident?"
"Just think about how sad your parents must be."
"They raised you with great difficulty and don't want to see you get hurt."
Just today, when Meng Zan saw the drunk Lu Jing with his own eyes.
He had already vaguely guessed in his heart that Yan An might have met with an accident.
When he thought of this, he was even more reluctant to let Lu Xiaoya fall into the same danger.
"No! No matter what you say, I will go with you!" Lu Xiaoya's attitude was still as tough as a rock, and she was not moved at all.
Seeing her so stubborn, Meng Zan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and was about to speak to persuade her again.
But before he could finish his words, he only heard a sigh from his mouth: "But..."
"There's nothing to worry about! I really want to contribute to the people I love, my sister-in-law, and Sister Feng Xi."
Hearing this, Meng Zan's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "You...you like me?"
Lu Xiaoya quickly covered her mouth with her hands in panic, but it was too late. The true words just came out of her mouth so easily.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward and subtle.
However, Lu Xiaoya did not back down. She took a deep breath, straightened her chest and said loudly: "I just like you, is that not okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up suddenly, put her hands on her hips, and looked into Meng Zan's eyes, not concealing the surging emotions in her heart.
Faced with Lu Xiaoya's straightforward confession, Meng Zan was stunned. He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know how to respond.
After a moment's silence, he finally spoke slowly, his tone heavy and serious: "Now, our country is being invaded and trampled upon by others, and the people are living in dire straits."
"At a time like this, how can I distract myself from my personal affairs?"
Lu Xiaoya listened quietly to what Meng Zan said, with an understanding smile on her face.
"In that case, I must go with you and help you recapture your lost homeland!"
Meng Zan looked up at the heroic woman in front of him with a high ponytail.
The candlelight fell on her, outlining a beautiful silhouette.
At that moment, an indescribable emotion surged into his heart like a tide, making his heart tremble involuntarily.
"Thank you for helping me like this."
"This...this isn't just to help you, I'll help them too."
"I...I'm leaving first." After saying that, she quickly left the room with her cheeks flushed.
Meng Zan looked at the direction she left and murmured to himself, "Thank you, Xiaoya."
At the same time, after Lu Jingzhi finished discussing with them, he took out a Treading the Sky Pill from his storage ring.
If one wants to play a role in the battle among the demons, he must enter the Sky-stepping Realm because the Xuanhuang Realm is not enough there.
"Looks like a breakthrough is coming soon."
Then, he took Yan An out of the spirit ring.
She was still lying there as if she was sleeping, but she was not breathing, and she no longer had the coolness and gentleness of the past.
Lu Jingzhi held her cold hand and said, "In two months, I will lead everyone to the demon realm, revive you, and help you take back the demon clan."
