Afterwards, Yanluo gave Xue Yunting and Xue Yun some guidance on things to pay attention to, but in reality there was nothing to guide them on. The siblings were very talented and could figure things out on their own.
The only question is about one's level of understanding.
Everyone went to the changing room to shower and change clothes. Xia Qianzhen sat alone in the lounge waiting. The girl had purple hair and purple eyes and wore a white dress, making her look so sacred and inviolable. She placed her hands on her lower abdomen and quietly waited for Zhong Jiudao to return.
Perhaps it's because she's been with Zhong Jiudao for so long, but Xia Qianzhen has changed from being lively and playful at the beginning to having a serene and peaceful demeanor now. At 19, Xia Qianzhen now exudes the aura of a married woman.
Not wanting Xia Qianzhen to wait too long, Zhong Jiudao quickly finished washing and changing his clothes. He ran to the lounge, opened the door, and saw Xia Qianzhen waiting for him obediently.
"Qianqian, have you been waiting long?"
Xia Qianzhen stood up and walked towards him, gently bumping into his arms.
"Only three minutes have passed, Daodao, you're in trouble, you can't live without me anymore."
Zhong Jiudao smiled and hugged her, "Yes, yes, I can't live without you."
"We're going to Xiao Luo's house for dinner tonight. He just invited us. It's been a while since we've seen our little angel."
Xia Qianzhen nodded.
"Let's go back to the bar first to get some drinks and beverages before we go, so we don't go empty-handed."
"good."
Zhong Jiudao took Xia Qianzhen's hand and left the lounge.
After everyone had tidied up, they gathered in the director's office again. Yanluo invited everyone to his home for dinner that evening. The two sisters, Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an, were the happiest and immediately said they wanted to go shopping for groceries with Yanluo and the others.
Chi Miaomiao was driving the branch office's bus when she glanced at Fan Qianning in the passenger seat and then at the rearview mirror. Xie Huai'an in the back seat was happily playing on his phone, looking excited because he was going to Yan Luo's house for dinner that night.
"Why am I the one giving you two brats a ride?"
Fan Qianning chuckled and said, "That's what Brother Yan said." Xie Huai'an, who was sitting in the back, also came forward to tease Chi Miaomiao with his sister.
Unlike the noisy trio, Yan Luo was driving, one hand on the steering wheel and the other tapping on his phone screen on the holder. He was going to call Bai Ningbing to tell her and Shang Xinci that they didn't need to prepare dinner that night, as it would be more convenient to have hot pot for the guests.
After purchasing the ingredients, the group returned home. Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an greeted Su Qing and the others politely. Tu Yi'er was very happy that Sister Shuoguo could come to visit, after all, Fan Qianning had made her experience that precious weight for the first time.
While Yan Luo, Su Qing, and Bai Ningbing were preparing ingredients for hot pot downstairs, Tu Keke brought up Fan Qianning's desire to learn magic to Shang Xinci. Fan Qianning then took the opportunity to ask Shang Xinci to be her apprentice.
Shang Xinci looked at the young girl in front of her, whose figure was comparable to her own, with some surprise. She politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to take on apprentices at the moment."
Fan Qianning realized she had acted impulsively, so she quickly apologized.
"I was too presumptuous. I'm sorry, Sister Xinci."
This impulse is understandable. How could Fan Qianning not be tempted by the new power she witnessed? For a moment, she forgot that she and Shang Xinci had only just met, and that the other party had no reason to agree to her request.
Shang Xinci glanced at Tu Keke without leaving a trace, then looked at Fan Qianning.
"You flatter me. You are Yanluo's friend. I will write a magic book that you can use at your current level. You have great talent and have accumulated knowledge of formations. You can also achieve success by studying it on your own."
Fan Qianning understood that Shang Xinci had only agreed because of Tu Keke and Yan Luo. She sat down next to Shang Xinci, took her hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Xinci."
Shang Xinci simply smiled calmly, "I'll have Yanluo send it to you once I've finished writing it."
Tu Keke didn't think too much about it. After all, she was just being kind, and it was just a small matter. Shang Xinci didn't take it to heart. Since she was just keeping it anyway, she might as well teach it to someone who needed it and had the talent.
Shang Xinci had never considered taking on a disciple. She was self-reliant, rising from a lowly snow demon to the Snow Empress. She had no master and no one to rely on; she achieved her current imperial position entirely through her own efforts.
This is something Bai Ningbing admires about her, but Bai Ningbing herself has also gotten to where she is today through countless battles to become the Demon Emperor of Qingqiu.
Both female demon queens were deeply revered by their subjects. The Phoenix Empress and the Flood Dragon Emperor, two of the demon queens, admired them greatly. One had an ordinary bloodline yet achieved such success, while the other had emerged victorious from a bloody and brutal struggle. They had no choice but to admire them.
If Shang Xinci were to actually take Fan Qianning as her disciple, she wouldn't know how to teach her. It would be better not to just write a notebook and let Tu Keke figure it out on her own.
Xue Yunting and her brother, along with Director Zhang Bichen, rang the doorbell as they were putting white radish chunks into the hot soup. He swiftly opened the door for them.
After some introductions, Xue Yunting and Zhang Bichen quickly became familiar with the family, while Xue Yungan sat shyly to the side without saying a word.
The group sat chatting in the small living room on the second floor. When the topic of Shang Xinci and the other girls' relationship with Yan Luo came up, Xue Yunting and Xue Yungan were stunned, while Zhang Bichen looked very excited, as if she were eating gossip.
Little Blue Hair was incredulous. He had thought the mature and steady captain and vice-captain were in a pure love relationship, but he never expected there to be so much love between them.
However, having seen everything in today's society, they quickly accepted these facts.
When Fan Qianning learned that Shang Xinci was also Yanluo's lover, she was clearly stunned for a moment, but she didn't show it. She just felt a little down.
He's surrounded by beautiful women; will I ever have a place in his heart?
This caused Fan Qianning to barely touch her chopsticks at the dinner table, which Yanluo assumed was because the ingredients didn't suit her taste.
"Ningning, is it not to your liking?"
Fan Qianning quickly shook her head.
"It's delicious."
"Then eat more." Yanluo didn't ask any further questions, but instead placed the meatballs that had been cooling for a while on Tu Yier's high chair.
Tu Yier sat between Zhong Jiudao and Xia Qianzhen, her little face chubby, eating happily.
Looking at Tu Yier's adorable appearance, Xia Qianzhen couldn't help but feel fond of her. She looked at Zhong Jiudao somewhat shyly, and Zhong Jiudao immediately understood.
"Well, actually, Qianqian is pregnant."
Her words were like a thunderclap, startling everyone who was eating quietly. Chi Miaomiao flashed to Zhong Jiudao's side, grabbed his neck, and shook him violently.
"Xiaxia is younger than me, you dog of a birth!!"
This news made Su Qing, Bai Ningbing, and Shang Xinci all look at Xia Qianzhen, each with their own thoughts.
Zhong Jiudao scratched the back of his head sheepishly. He had lost his fertility a while ago, but then he got pregnant again, which made him quite happy.
Xia Qianzhen shyly lowered her head, while Tu Yier appeared very calm, as if she had known all along. The little girl jumped off the dining chair and ran upstairs, returning with a very exquisite box in her hand.
