Cloud Retainer's abode was very large; it couldn't be seen from the outside, which must have been due to some immortal secret art.
However, when the house was built, it wasn't considered that in the future, only Cloud Retainer herself and a few disciples would live in such a large mansion, so it would seem a bit desolate.
But regardless, there were many rooms in this mansion, and they didn't even need cleaning; one could move in at any time.
Shenhe did not follow her master's instructions to take Stelle to an empty room.
Instead, she directly led Stelle to her own room.
"This is where I usually sleep." Shenhe pushed open the door and said to Stelle.
Shenhe's room was very simply furnished, and it didn't seem to have much of a lived-in feel.
However, the room had excellent lighting, and through the window, one could directly see the scenery of Mt. Aocang's peak outside.
This was a bit incredible, because from the outside, this house was completely invisible.
But Stelle was not in the mood to admire the scenery outside or the uniqueness of the room at the moment.
"Sigh, Shenhe, is your master very angry…?" Stelle slowly sighed, then quietly asked Shenhe.
"Angry? No." Shenhe tilted her head, then shook her head and said.
She knew her master well: she liked to tell stories, was a bit contradictory in her words, but she was a very good person.
Even for her disciple's happiness, Cloud Retainer couldn't possibly be angry.
Moreover, she could tell that her master probably liked Stelle very much too.
"Master's gaze has always been on you; she must have noticed you a long time ago."
"Uh, that's true." Stelle recalled how she had been watched by that inexplicable gaze for almost an entire day, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.
That must have been Shenhe's master.
After all, according to Shenhe, among the three Adepti of Jueyun Karst, besides her master, Cloud Retainer, the other two were male.
Stelle knew herself well: due to her constitution, her charm would be incredibly great in the eyes of women, but for men, she might just be an ordinary Grey-haired girl.
She wouldn't have noticed for such a long time.
"Master said, whatever happens, we'll talk about it tonight." Shenhe pulled Ann's hand and sat down by the bed.
"When the time comes, you and Master can have a good chat."
"Mhm, I understand." Ann nodded.
She was still very confident in her charm, or rather, her constitution.
Even if Cloud Retainer wasn't human, she probably couldn't resist.
No matter what, she most likely wouldn't make things too difficult for her.
At worst…
Ann thought of the Pearl Jade White Soup she had made today.
She had come with a gift, and as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Even if it was for her sincere worship, Cloud Retainer shouldn't target her too much.
Just as Ann was silently pondering, Shenhe's face had unknowingly drawn closer and closer to her.
It wasn't until Shenhe's nose touched her that Ann finally came back to her senses.
"Wait, wait a moment, Shenhe." Ann quickly pressed down on Shenhe's shoulders.
"What's wrong?" Shenhe didn't show much expression, but upon closer inspection, one could notice a faint blush on her cheeks.
Her eyes held a hint of confusion at this moment, seemingly not understanding why Ann would refuse her.
"This is your Master's residence," Ann whispered as a reminder.
Although they had already told Cloud Retainer about their relationship, if they went too far in her residence, it might incur her displeasure.
After all, she was an Immortal. Who knew if she had some special means to peek into what was happening in this room?
"It's fine." Shenhe wasn't worried about this. She shook her head gently and directly pressed her lips against Ann's.
Her hands didn't stop either, climbing Ann's peaks, which were still somewhat different from her own.
"Mmm…"
Ann gradually couldn't withstand Shenhe's assault and slowly lay down on Shenhe's bed.
The bed was a bit hard, but at this moment, Ann had no leisure to think about such things.
They didn't know that Cloud Retainer, in another room far away, trembled slightly, raising her head in disbelief, her cheeks turning crimson.
-----
Evening.
It was time for dinner, and Cloud Retainer finally managed to adjust her emotions, calling the two to her presence.
A table full of dishes was already set, looking very rich.
"Sit down." Cloud Retainer tried her best to make her expression appear colder, but in reality, it didn't achieve her desired effect.
The blush on her face hadn't faded even now; anyone who wasn't blind could see it.
Ann also keenly noticed Cloud Retainer's expression at this moment and understood what had happened.
What she and Shenhe did today was most likely discovered by this Immortal, otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.
Thinking of this, Ann gave Shenhe a slightly resentful look.
She had said no, but Shenhe showed no intention of stopping, as if she had gotten carried away, and it went on for a very long time.
Fortunately, Cloud Retainer didn't seem to intend to pursue it… or perhaps she was too embarrassed to mention it.
"Ahem, so, uh, True Monarch also knows how to cook…" Ann casually found a topic, but it was so awkward that Ann regretted why she had spoken up.
"That is natural. My Immortal Art of Mechanics is endlessly profound; all kinds of dishes can be easily made." Cloud Retainer didn't look at Ann. She turned her head away, looking arrogant.
"It's just that Ganyu needs to lose weight, and Shenhe needs to cultivate, so this divine cooking machine has always been without a use." Cloud Retainer then slowly sighed.
Actually, later on, Shenhe no longer needed to eat bland foods to maintain her cultivation, but this habit had been preserved.
She said she was afraid that she would slow down her cultivation speed because of delicious food.
"It's fine, Master. A little bit of food can no longer affect me," Shenhe slowly said.
"Hmm?" Cloud Retainer looked at Shenhe in confusion, then at Ann beside her, probably understanding what was happening, and let out a soft snort.
"Oh, right, I brought a worship this time. I hope Cloud Retainer can taste it." Ann remembered something and quickly took out the Pearl Jade White Soup she had made.
She had preserved it very well; the soup was still steaming.
"Oh? You are quite thoughtful…" Cloud Retainer looked at the soup. The aroma was strong; just by smelling it, one knew that the soup was definitely well-made.
She would taste a bite later.
