408: Running Grass

Long Aotian refused Feng Zixian and the others' help.

Even with the Wood Spirit Clan, Long Aotian had no intention of letting them search for Zu Long Grass.

Feng Zixian, of course, goes without saying; she was pregnant and very inconvenienced.

As for the Wood Spirit Clan?

They were all too weak!

Coming out would not only be unhelpful but would also be a hindrance.

Of course!

The Mystic Immortal Realm is an incredibly wondrous place, and they also wanted to see the legendary Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness, so Long Aotian naturally indulged them.

After transferring them out to play for half a day, he brought them back in.

However, when they were being brought back, Lan Qianqian wanted to stay outside with Long Aotian.

The reason this girl wanted to stay outside was:

She was a Peak Immortal Emperor; coming out would be to help, not to hinder.

Hearing this, Long Aotian couldn't help but laugh.

Wouldn't hinder?

A Peak Immortal Emperor's Divine Sense and aerial flight were basically restricted; how could she not hinder?

But for reasons unknown to Long Aotian, he eventually agreed to let Lan Qianqian stay outside.

"Big Brother, I was wrong!"

Lan Qianqian was held in Long Aotian's arms, her legs wrapped around his waist, and her arms around his neck.

Only later did she realize that staying outside was no help to Long Aotian; in fact, he had to carry her as he flew. The little girl felt a bit ashamed.

"It's good that you know you were wrong. You said you wouldn't hinder, but now Big Brother has to carry you, right?"

Long Aotian couldn't help but pat her bottom, chuckling, "But with you outside, Big Brother doesn't feel too lonely."

"Hehe, does Big Brother feel too lonely by himself, which is why you kept Qianqian here?"

"What do you think?"

"Qianqian thinks so!"

"Silly girl, what are you daydreaming about again?"

Long Aotian couldn't help but pat her bottom again, chuckling, "Didn't you see Duor, Mian Er, and Ling'er's expressions when they returned to the Inner World?"

"Expressions? What expressions?"

Lan Qianqian was a bit confused.

At that time, she was only focused on staying outside with a certain big bad brother; how could she have paid attention to anyone else's expressions?

"Just the expressions of not being able to help."

"...I understand. So Big Brother kept me outside to motivate them, to make them take Cultivation more seriously. Hehe, Big Brother truly has good intentions, but Qianqian thinks they were indeed greatly stimulated this time."

Lan Qianqian understood immediately.

She was already exceptionally intelligent, and not to mention spending so much time with Long Aotian in the Inner World, she still knew some of his thoughts.

"Hmm, each of their Martial Arts Talent is no lower than yours, yet their Cultivation Realm is far behind yours. It won't do without motivating them."

"But Qianqian is older than them; this can't be compared. Living in the Inner World for a year or two, it would actually be very simple for them to raise their Cultivation Realm."

"...Alright, at least that girl Mu Mian is the same age as you. You're in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and she's only in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. She definitely needs to take Cultivation more seriously."

"Hmm, that's more like it."

Saying this, Lan Qianqian couldn't help but lean close to Long's ear, gently nibbling his ear with her lips, and whispered, "Big Brother, do you think Qianqian is bigger or Mian Er is bigger?"

"...I think they're the same size."

"Really? Feel it again properly."

"Hmm, still hard to tell!"

"...Then does Big Brother like Qianqian more, or Mian Er more... Eh, what's that?"

"What?"

"A Dragon-shaped phantom? Big Brother, look quickly, is that the Zu Long Grass we're looking for?"

"Holy smokes! A Dragon-shaped phantom? Is the Zu Long Grass nearby? Qianqian, hold onto Big Brother tightly!"

"Okay!"

Long Aotian flashed, appearing at the Dragon-shaped phantom.

"Swoosh!"

The result!

A scene that left him dumbfounded unfolded.

He saw an ordinary-looking blade of grass, hidden among other grasses, seemingly startled by his sudden appearance, actually started running! In a flash, it ran out of his Divine Sense's coverage range?!

"Holy smokes! What's going on? Are grasses this crazy these days?"
