Chapter 247 So Sweet
Upon hearing that their daughter's grandmaster had arranged the marriage for their prospective son-in-law, Chen Kejing and Yu Wenli immediately stopped worrying. Xiao Luo was already so capable; what kind of person was Xiao Luo's grandmaster? How could he possibly push a useless guy onto their daughter? They figured he would never betray their daughter, and they felt relieved.
"I see. Xiao Qiu, just relax and stay at our house. Make yourself at home and don't be too reserved. We're all family, so don't stay at the metaphysics hall. Just stay at our house. You can go to and from get off work with Xiao Luo. Wouldn't that be great?"
Qingqiu glanced at Yu Xiaoluo with a meaningful look in his eyes. Yu Xiaoluo blushed and said, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? We're not married yet. We'll talk about it after we get married."
"Alright, alright, young people have their own ideas, as long as you have plans."
They chatted casually, and fortunately, Yu Xiaoluo managed to avoid some awkward topics. When they returned to the Yu family home, the housekeeper had already prepared a whole table of dishes, and Yu Jiangbai and Yu Ming had also returned to eat together.
Everyone treated Qingqiu very politely. After the meal, Yu Liang drove Qingqiu and Yu Xiaoluo to the Xuanxue Hall.
On the way, Yu Xiaoluo finally received a system message: [Completed the first major task, both major tasks completed, gained 50 good deeds, accumulated good deeds value 274, merit value +100, accumulated merit value 962.]
[Master, keep it up! You've completed both tasks, now all that's left is the good deeds value. You'll finish the task soon, and you can handle it with ease.]
Yu Xiaolu hummed in agreement but didn't speak. Actually, she didn't care how many good deeds she could accomplish anymore. Her family's affairs were settled, and so were the affairs of Qingqiu. Nothing else mattered.
Let me calm down and think about this issue carefully.
The car arrived in front of the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall. Unexpectedly, even though it was so late, everyone was still at get off work. As soon as they saw the hall master arrive, they swarmed around him like stars around the moon.
"Master, you've finally arrived! We were so worried about you. We thought you'd run away with that handsome man and abandoned us." Zhuo Fan's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Exactly, exactly. I was wondering if Master Yu would bring all three of them back."
When they said the three came back, Yu Xiaoluo understood; they meant that three babies had come back, but not in the sense of those three.
Little Pearl threw herself into Yu Xiaoluo's arms. "Master, do you not want Little Pearl anymore? You don't take Little Pearl with you anywhere. I, I'm so desperate."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Yu Xiaoluo picked her up, stroked her hair, and comforted her, "It's Master's fault, it's Master's fault, I'll take you to play next time."
"By the way, where's Shuoyu? Where did he go? And who is this?"
Now, everyone's attention finally turned to Qingqiu. Qingqiu hadn't expected to be embarrassed all the way through the airport, and then embarrassed again on the way back. And now she was going to be embarrassed again.
"This is—" Yu Xiaoluo was too embarrassed to say more in front of so many people.
Yu Liang then said, "This is your master's current boyfriend, and also Bao Shuoyu's master. From now on, he will be the second-in-command of this metaphysics academy. If the master is not here, you can look for him."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other in dismay. Their news hadn't arrived as quickly as the Yu family's, and they hadn't yet accepted the role.
Yu Xiaoluo smiled and said, "His name is Qingqiu. I met him on the road. His abilities are no less than mine. He will be living in the Metaphysics Hall from now on and will be a part of our Metaphysics Hall. Alright, everyone, go back and rest."
Just as everyone was about to leave, Yu Xiaoluo was also about to arrange a room for Qingqiu. It wasn't appropriate for them to stay together now, and besides, given Qingqiu's personality, staying at the Yu family might lead to a fight one day, with potentially serious consequences.
Qingqiu's room was located upstairs opposite the Metaphysics Hall, offering a clear view of the hall. It turned out that a building next to the Metaphysics Hall had been rented; aside from Zhuo Fan who was going home, most of the other staff members lived there as staff dormitories.
Qingqiu preferred peace and quiet, so when they were in Kuncheng, she asked Yu Liang to rent and furnish the room. Yu Liang was quite reliable when it came to these things, and sure enough, the arrangements were perfect.
Standing at the upstairs window, one can see not only the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall but also the surrounding street scene, all clearly visible. The room's decor is also antique and elegant, perfectly suited to Qingqiu.
Qingqiu hugged Yu Xiaoluo from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, "If you achieve your goal, what will happen to me? Will you just leave me here?"
This is also a question that Yu Xiaoluo has been thinking about recently. "The success rate of ascension is not that high. Only about one in ten people can succeed. I'm not that confident that I am that one."
"But what if you are that one?" Qingqiu held Yu Xiaoluo in his arms, looking at her with deep eyes, but his brows were furrowed with worry.
"I—can't bear to leave you, nor my family and the people in the restaurant, but I—still want to give it a try."
Yes, she would still feel quite regretful if she didn't try to see if she could succeed.
Qingqiu didn't say anything, but hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply.
But they didn't know that a bunch of humans and demons were hiding behind the curtain watching them.
Little Pearl exclaimed first, "Wow, so sweet!"
Qiao Hongzhu pulled her aside, "What are you looking at, little kids? This is not suitable for children. Go away."
Shen Haoyue chuckled and said, "Seeing that Master Yu really likes our Mr. Qing, I'm relieved."
Yao Ziming coughed, "Young people are great, this old man is going to cultivate."
However, before they could get enough of looking, Yu Xiaoluo took her leave. Little Frog and Little Pearl quickly ran out and followed Yu Xiaoluo, saying, "Master, Master, wait for us."
"Uh, what are you guys trying to do?"
Tears welled up in Little Pearl's eyes. "Master, don't you love us anymore? Have you abandoned me and Little Frog? Waaah—"
Little Pearl was truly heartbroken. She hadn't seen her owner for so long and couldn't even be with her.
"Alright, you're all coming back with me tonight. Haven't you seen Little Fairy Xuanwu in a long time? Now we have two more members, let me introduce you to them. From now on, you can go back to my space every night to cultivate properly."
"Okay, okay!" Little Pearl immediately stopped crying and got into the car with Little Frog.

Yu Xiaoluo's room instantly turned into a kindergarten, no, a zoo. If her room weren't big enough, there probably wouldn't be enough room for all these little demons.
Little Zhuzhu took a liking to Snowman the moment she saw him. She fed him yogurt and played with him, feeding him and taking him out to eat. She couldn't help it; she was a sucker for good looks, and Snowman was so fair-skinned and adorable.
The little rabbit, however, found everything fascinating and clumsily knocked over many things, getting chased and beaten by Xiao Hei and Xuanwu, before being pulled away by Xiao Xianxian and Xiao Haha.
