Chapter 79 The Moon is Fuller on the Sixteenth than the Fifteenth
Upon hearing this, Su Mu remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly in Li Zhaoning's direction, the movement natural and unhurried, as if it were just a routine courtesy.
Response.
However, this seemingly ordinary gesture, in the eyes of Li Zhaoning, who knew the truth, was like a silent, fervent promise. She felt a sudden surge of heat...
A blush rose to her cheeks, but fortunately, the deepening night and the hazy moonlight concealed it, preventing the rouge-like blush from being too conspicuous.
"Alright, alright, it's only been a few days, haven't you two had enough of looking at each other?" Hu Chanyuan interrupted their staring contest at the opportune moment. She had already taken notice of the two...
He noticed the unspoken emotions in her eyes and inwardly cursed. Li Zhaoning, this "hypocrite," outwardly maintained the aloof and dignified demeanor of the Prince of Ning, but who knew he was...
He was speaking privately to Mu'er using telepathy!
Su Zhixiao assumed that her brother's urge to practice martial arts with the prince had returned, so she gently tugged at Su Mu's sleeve and said sweetly, "Yes, brother..."
Brother, it's so late. If you want to have a competition, wait until it's light tomorrow!
Su Mu smiled but remained silent, only reaching out to ruffle Su Zhixiao's hair. How could his Zhao Ning's burning heart wait until tomorrow?
"Alright, everyone, stop standing at the door!" Li Qinghan said cheerfully. "Dinner is all ready! My aunt and I prepared a whole table of dishes!"
We've been waiting for you!
Hu Chanyuan added somewhat embarrassedly, "Qinghan was the main force; I only helped make a few desserts."
"Really? Our Qinghan is getting more and more capable." Su Mu smiled and naturally ruffled Li Qinghan's hair, making the little girl giggle.
He just laughed.
Looking at Li Qinghan's radiant smile, Su Mu felt a surge of relief, but also a subtle pity and guilt. He was unaware of the girl's painstaking efforts.
Is the pursuit of culinary skills driven by genuine love, admiration for oneself, or a desire to better embody the standards of an "elegant woman"?
Over the years, the little girl has grown increasingly shy, and she's no longer as clingy to him as she was when she was little. As a result, he understands her less than he does with Xiao.
Xiao and Aunt Gu have such a deep bond. This time in Qingzhou, I must spend more time with her and carefully untangle her knots in her heart.
Regardless of her initial intentions, Qinghan's dedication is commendable. Everyone fell silent and sat around the table. The dishes were plentiful and fragrant.
Yesterday's reunion dinner was made up for tonight, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After a satisfying meal, everyone moved to the courtyard to admire the moon. Su Mu gazed at the full moon and sighed softly, "The moon is indeed fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, as the saying goes."
“Yes!” Li Qinghan replied, trying to open her slightly misty eyes wider. “Although I couldn’t enjoy the moon with Brother Mu and Sister Xiaoxiao last night, today…”
The moon looked just as big and round as ever... Ah... "Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but yawn. Preparing dinner had taken quite a bit of effort.
Strength, at this moment, relaxed, and weariness surged up.
"Qinghan must be exhausted after working so hard all day," Su Mu said gently, ruffling her hair again. "Go and rest, we can continue tomorrow."
Play."
"Mmm... Your Highness, Auntie, Brother Mu, Sister Xiaoxiao, goodnight..." Li Qinghan nodded obediently, and with Hu Chanyuan's support, she kept turning back to look at herself.
I went back to my room.
Inside the courtyard, only Su Mu, Su Zhixiao, and Li Zhaoning remained.
"Su Mu," Li Zhaoning spoke first, "what are your plans for the next few days?"
Su Mu replied frankly, "Your Highness, tomorrow I must first meet with Elder Ling Suxin of the Shuyu Sect to discuss cooperation matters. Afterwards, I need to arrange an auction."
In addition to the exhibits, I also need to keep an eye out for Aunt Gu to see if the 'Seven-Colored Divine Lotus' she wants is in this auction.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhixiao immediately perked up her ears.
Elder Ling? She immediately remembered her master's reminder, and a string in her heart tightened instantly. She hurriedly hugged Su Mu's arm, her voice tinged with a coquettish urgency.
Che: "Brother! When you go to see Elder Ling, you must take me with you! She helped us a lot back then, and I want to thank her properly in person!"
Su Mu chuckled: "Tomorrow is just for discussing serious matters, so the atmosphere will inevitably be a bit dull. After we finish, if we have some free time, I'll take you to catch up with her."
Or shall we stroll around the city together?
Su Zhixiao tilted her head and thought for a moment. She saw that Elder Ling was aloof and posed little threat. The main person she needed to guard against was her lively and enthusiastic side.
Her apprentice, Qingyue! Besides, eavesdropping on serious matters was indeed boring, so she obediently agreed: "Hmm... alright! I'll listen to you, brother!"
"Xiaoxiao is such a good girl." Su Mu's smile deepened as she approvingly ruffled her hair. At the same time, a subtle telepathic message quietly entered her ear:
Xiaoxiao went to take a shower first, then waited for me in bed.
"Mmm!" Upon hearing this, Su Zhixiao blushed slightly, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. She glanced shyly at Su Mu, her heart filled with both anticipation and embarrassment.
She hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Zhaoning and Su Mu: "Your Highness, brother, I... I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room to rest first. You can enjoy the scenery at your leisure."
"After saying that, she left like a little deer, her steps hurried yet joyful."
In the courtyard, only Su Mu and Li Zhaoning remained.
Li Zhaoning gazed silently in the direction Su Zhixiao had left, until the footsteps had completely disappeared, before asking in an almost inaudible whisper, "Xiaoxiao, she..."
"Have they gone far?" There was a hint of suppressed tension in his voice.
Su Mu sensed for a moment, a gentle smile curving his lips. He slowly walked behind Li Zhaoning, stretched out his arms, and naturally and firmly encircled her slender figure.
His taut waist pulled her into his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of her head. "Hmm, we're far away."
Li Zhaoning's carefully maintained composure crumbled instantly. She nestled softly against Su Mu's firm chest, then turned around, wrapping her hips around his neck.
He tilted his head back and pressed his soft lips against hers.
==================================================

This kiss, filled with longing and yearning, was tender and profound. Under the moonlight, two figures embraced tightly, and after a long while, they breathed softly and slowly...
They parted, and a tantalizing strand of saliva lingered between their lips.
"Hoo... Mu'er," Li Zhaoning breathed slightly, his eyes shimmering with tears. His usual aloof and dignified princely demeanor had vanished, leaving only a...
Yet, it possesses the tenderness and allure of a young girl.
She grasped Su Mu's hand, her tone unusually urgent, "Let's hurry."
"Aunt Ning, don't be anxious." He chuckled softly, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery. "You know, some things, no matter how urgent, I can't rush." Hearing this,
Li Zhaoning instantly recalled the experience of that night, and her cheeks became even hotter.
"I know you... last a long time, you don't need to emphasize it to me every time!" She lightly punched his chest in embarrassment and annoyance, her tone soft and weak, more like...
It's acting cute.
Su Mu chuckled softly, raised her hand, and gently stroked her burning cheek with her fingertips, her gesture full of tenderness. "Aunt Ning, please bear with me a little longer, I'll go first..."
I'll go and put Xiaoxiao to sleep, then I'll come find you right away.
Li Zhaoning nestled in his arms, feeling his steady heartbeat and the warmth of his palms. Although she was still a little anxious, she felt much more at ease.
She looked up curiously, a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Okay, but how do you plan to get Xiaoxiao to sleep?"
Su Mu leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Naturally, I will teach her everything I know until she is exhausted and falls into a deep sleep."

Chapter Eighty is both punishment and reward.
Li Qinghan, who should have been resting, was now like a nimble cat, silently sneaking to the window of the room where Su Mu and Su Zhixiao were staying.
She tried her best to conceal her presence, hiding herself in the shadows cast by the pillars. Her bright eyes flickered with tension in the darkness.
Excitement.
The little girl had her own plans. Although she harbored the intention of bringing the prince, her aunt, and Brother Mu together, she was only listening to Brother Mu and Xiao...
Xiao Jie's movements are also extremely important!
This is to broaden my horizons, so that I can better "help" them and Brother Mu in the future!
She convinced herself that she might be able to give him a push later, but her cheeks were uncontrollably burning slightly.
Lost in thought, Li Qinghan heard steady footsteps approaching. Her heart tightened, and she quickly held her breath, focusing on the techniques Hu Chanyuan had taught her since childhood.
The technique of concealing one's aura was used to its fullest extent.
This method was originally intended for her to conceal her demonic aura within Qingzhou City, but Li Qinghan used it in this particular situation.
With a soft creak, Su Mu gently closed the door behind him, casually setting up a soundproof barrier.
Seeing this, Li Qinghan not only didn't retreat, but instead cautiously moved closer to the window frame, unconsciously raising her eyes slightly once more.
Sharp fox ears, trying to catch the slightest sound in the room.
Since the battle in the Peach Blossom Forest, she has never slacked off in her cultivation, and her cultivation has improved considerably, naturally making her hearing even more acute.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered. As soon as Su Mu stepped into the inner room, a petite figure rushed into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Brother~" Su Zhixiao buried her burning face deep into Su Mu's broad chest, nuzzling him like a little animal seeking comfort, her voice soft...
The tone was soft and sweet, with a hint of seeking praise.
"Xiaoxiao, weren't you very good today? You patted Qinghan's head so many times, and Xiaoxiao didn't get angry at all!"
"Yes, Xiaoxiao was exceptionally well-behaved today." Su Muren smiled, his large hand naturally covering the top of her soft hair, gently stroking it, his eyes full of affection.
溺。
He could sense that Xiaoxiao's inner demons had indeed diminished considerably. Although she would still clearly feel a little jealous, she was no longer as intense as before.
Having pent-up feelings, he knows how to express them directly, which allows him to offer timely comfort and guidance.
"Xiaoxiao is so good..." Su Zhixiao looked up at him with her small face, her eyes glistening with tears, a hint of shy anticipation in them, "Then... can brother..."
Should we spank Xiaoxiao's bottom?
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Su Mu's lips curled into a playful smile, and he gently lifted her chin with his fingertips. "You behaved well, yet you begged to be punished?"
It seems that in your mind, this is no longer considered punishment, but rather... a reward for Xiaoxiao?
"Hmm," Su Zhixiao blushed as her little secret was exposed, but the gentle scratching of her chin by Su Mu, like petting a kitten, made her feel comfortable.
He narrowed his eyes, a soft wheezing sound escaping his throat, "Well, consider it a reward..."
“But,” Su Mu’s tone shifted, a hint of cunning in her voice, “Brother has been flying on his sword all day, and his back and legs are very tired. He doesn’t want to ride anymore.”
