Although she felt it was inappropriate for a man to enter her boudoir, Zhu Yuchan was merely a maid and dared not say much at this moment.
"We'll do it here."
Zhu Yin'e pushed open the door to her boudoir and turned to Liu Nanfeng.
Liu Nanfeng glanced inside. The room was decorated with fresh and elegant simplicity, not luxurious, but possessing its own charm and emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.
Liu Nanfeng instinctively sniffed his nose. Zhu Yin'e noticed, her cheeks flushing, but she quickly concealed it.
"This is?"
"This is my boudoir. Little Fish has always slept with me," Zhu Yin'e said calmly.
"If that's the case, then pardon my intrusion." Liu Nanfeng, without much thought, entered directly carrying the little koi.
After all, he was a modern person and wasn't so particular about avoiding suspicion in a boudoir.
As he stepped inside, the first thing that caught his eye was a large painting on the wall.
Liu Nanfeng gazed at it, and a sense of familiarity washed over him.
"Feng Zhirun."
He recognized her at once because he had seen her in his dreams and she had taught him swordsmanship. Thus, he knew this was his past life.
"This is my daddy," Little Fish said softly, seeing Liu Nanfeng staring at the painting.
Last time she had told Liu Nanfeng to be her daddy, her mother had spanked her bottom, so she no longer dared to say such things.
Liu Nanfeng smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then said to Zhu Yin'e with a complex expression, "Thank you, Dragon Lord, for the sword and the painting."
Zhu Yin'e was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Liu Nanfeng would bring this up.
But she replied, "You're welcome. You've also taken good care of Little Fish."
"It's my duty," Liu Nanfeng said.
Zhu Yin'e was startled by his words and then carefully observed Liu Nanfeng's expression. Seeing that he seemed normal, she could only temporarily set aside her doubts.
Then she said, "Follow me."
She led the way, taking Liu Nanfeng to the bedside.
Her cheeks then turned red because a few small garments were still draped over the headboard. She had completely forgotten and quickly put them away with a blush.
"I'm so sorry, this is truly impolite," Zhu Yin'e said to Liu Nanfeng after asking Zhu Yuchan to take the clothes into the cabinet.
"It's nothing," Liu Nanfeng said quickly.
After all, this was the Dragon Lord's boudoir, a private space, and it was reasonable to have personal clothing there. It was just that no one expected Liu Nanfeng to enter today.
As he spoke, Liu Nanfeng couldn't help but sniff the air again, as the scent was very pleasant and alluring.
This time, not only Zhu Yin'e noticed, but Little Fish also did.
She proudly put her hands on her hips and then asked, "Smells good, right? It's mommy's scent, it's fragrant."
This made not only Zhu Yin'e blush, but Liu Nanfeng's face also turned bright red.
Zhu Yuchan, who had just put the small clothes in the cabinet, kept peeking at them.
"Children say silly things," Zhu Yin'e reprimanded.
She reached out and took Little Fish from Liu Nanfeng's arms.
As she did, her chin accidentally brushed against Liu Nanfeng's, making her cheeks even redder.
"I'm not saying silly things, I'm telling the truth," Little Fish argued.
She was an honest Little Fish.
"Alright, we need to focus on the important matter. What do we do now?" Zhu Yin'e quickly changed the subject. She knew her daughter well and knew that if they continued, there would be no end to it.
"Just put her on the bed," Liu Nanfeng said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Zhu Yin'e quickly bent down and placed Little Fish on the bed, striking an alluring pose. Her mature and voluptuous figure was extremely captivating. Liu Nanfeng dared not look too much and quickly averted his gaze.
"Alright, Master Liu, you may proceed as you wish," Zhu Yin'e said as she stood up.
By now, she had composed herself, and her expression had become calm.
"Oh, alright."
Liu Nanfeng hurried forward and gently pressed down Little Fish, who was rolling around on the bed, trying to get up.
"Lie still and don't move," Liu Nanfeng said, sitting down by the bed.
Little Fish obediently stopped moving, her large eyes curiously watching Liu Nanfeng.
Just then, golden light emanated from Liu Nanfeng's eyes. First, a halo appeared around his eyes, and then countless halos spread outwards, layer upon layer, circle upon circle, with runes flowing, looking incredibly mystical.
Zhu Yin'e and Zhu Yuchan watched this magical scene with curiosity.
Little Fish was also very curious and even reached out her little hand to touch it, but she couldn't touch anything, as if it didn't exist.
"Don't move now," Liu Nanfeng said softly, pressing her little hand down.
Then, he formed a finger-sword with his right hand and gently stroked down Little Fish's little face. Strands of golden light flickered at his fingertips. Little Fish's bright, intelligent eyes dimmed, and her whole body became like a stiff puppet.
Zhu Yin'e clenched her hands nervously beside her. Although she had generously allowed Liu Nanfeng to proceed as he wished, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Zhu Yuchan was also very nervous. Although she was just a maid, she had watched Little Fish grow up and considered her no different from her own daughter.
However, since the madam had not spoken, she, as a maid, could not speak up to stop Liu Nanfeng.
Just then, Liu Nanfeng's fingertips changed again, and strands of golden light connected him and Little Fish.
Countless runes flowed from his fingertips to Little Fish's body, then like tadpoles, they quickly spread all over her.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon," Liu Nanfeng said to comfort them.
Seeing that Liu Nanfeng could speak to them while proceeding with his actions, they felt a little more reassured, indicating that he was not unfamiliar with this technique.
At this moment, Little Fish's body suddenly transformed. Zhu Yin'e and Zhu Yuchan almost cried out in surprise, but before they could, they realized that Little Fish had simply reverted to her original form.
An incredibly radiant little koi, each scale seemed to sparkle with brilliant luster, very beautiful.
Given its appearance, if it were caught, people would probably be reluctant to eat it and would instead put it in a tank as a landscape or feng shui fish.
However, these beautiful scales quickly faded as Liu Nanfeng performed his actions, and the scales gradually disappeared. Finally, her entire body turned blue, and her appearance also changed. She became a plump little fish, somewhat resembling a blue whale, very cute.
But this transformation was not yet complete. The pectoral fins on both sides of the "blue whale's" body began to change, becoming a pair of feathered wings. Then, her body began to lengthen, her mouth became pointed, and she transformed into a tiny, fluffy nascent roc.
This was also Liu Nanfeng. If it were anyone else, Zhu Yin'e would never have allowed them to do such a thing to her daughter.
Even so, her heart was in her throat.
"Is Little Fish alright?" she couldn't help but ask.
"She's fine. This is Little Fish's own bloodline, innate to her. Although its vitality is lost, it still belongs to her. These changes are her own transformations, so they will not cause any harm to her body," Liu Nanfeng explained.
This was not modifying her bloodline or genes, so there was no danger. This was why Liu Nanfeng dared to proceed with his actions.
As he spoke, Liu Nanfeng withdrew his fingers, and the anomalies in his eyes quickly vanished.
However, Little Fish's state was unstable. Lying on the bed, she alternated between the "blue whale" and the roc form from time to time.
"Don't disturb her for now. She's adapting to her body. She'll wake up when she can stabilize her form," Liu Nanfeng explained to the two women.
"How long will it take?" Zhu Yin'e asked with a frown.
"About an hour or two," Liu Nanfeng replied.
He reached this conclusion not by hearsay but by observation and calculation.
"In that case, Master Liu, please have a seat," Zhu Yin'e gestured, leading Liu Nanfeng to a spot by the window.
Through the window, one could see the garden outside.
A delicate tea set was placed on the table before them.
Zhu Yin'e sat down opposite him and then said to Zhu Yuchan, "Go and get that jar of Juan Lingxiao I've been cherishing."
"Yes, madam," Zhu Yuchan replied and turned to leave.
Now, only the two of them remained in the room. Well, three, but Little Fish was unconscious. Liu Nanfeng felt a little awkward and shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
To cover his awkwardness, he instinctively adjusted the handle of the teacup in front of him.
