Sensing the strange atmosphere between the two, Sisi didn't ask any further questions. She lowered the curtain, and Zhou Qiyan held a piece of pastry to her lips.

Here, have a taste.

"I'm not hungry yet." Sisi pushed his hand away, somewhat helplessly. "These are all provisions for the journey. What if you get hungry on the road after eating them now?"

“We can buy more. You can eat it. It’s fine. Even if I’m hungry, I won’t let you go hungry.”

Sisi opened her mouth and ate, thinking to herself that he was becoming more and more glib, but it was different from his previous calm personality. This liveliness was also good.

Tiandi Pool is located on a mountain, a very high mountain that pierces the clouds. At the foot of the mountain, there are many sedan chair carriers, usually two men, one in front and one behind, with a bamboo and rattan chair in the middle.

"Let's find an inn to put our things away first."

There were many inns at the foot of the mountain. Sisi chose one, which was very lively and full of all kinds of people who came to see the carp with golden scales leaping over the dragon gate.

Sisi ordered a few side dishes and sat at an empty table. In the middle of the table, a storyteller was telling a story.

"Legend has it that the Heavenly Pool is water that leaked from the Jade Pool in the Heavenly Palace, and it has nurtured many spiritual creatures, the most outstanding of which is that carp with golden scales..."

He recounted his story in detail, but Zhou Qi was so tired of listening that he started to doze off. "Instead of listening to his nonsense here, let's go and see if it's true or not."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhi were tidying up the room. He looked at her, his eyes shining with a different kind of light.

"Madam, why don't you cast a spell so we can go over there?"

Sisi tapped his head with her chopsticks. "You can't abuse magic in the human world, have you forgotten?"

Zhou Qi rubbed his head in dissatisfaction, "Sitting in the rattan chair takes a long time, and there are many people queuing up. Please, just use it for a short while, my dear wife."

Sisi couldn't resist him in the end, and under the cover of darkness, the two of them went to Tiandi Pool.

Just as the storyteller described, the water in the Heaven and Earth Pool was as clear as the water in the Jade Pool, and it was even shrouded in wisps of mist.

"The golden-scaled carp, could it be this one?"

Zhou Qiyan pointed to a golden carp at the bottom of the pool. It seemed to be resting, motionless on a stone slab.

Sisi said, "It should be, but it looks very ordinary and its cultivation level is not high. As for whether it can unravel all magic, we don't know."

"Let's fish it out and take a look."

Sisi had no intention of staying; she had only come here to relax and unwind. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard an argument nearby.

"Did you ever tell me that you like Zhou Qiyan? Why can't I like you?"

It was Qianqiu's voice, "Can you really let go of Zhou Qiyan now? You can't. If you could, you wouldn't have come with me for him. I know you wanted to use this golden scale to nourish his body."

You've misunderstood.

Compared to his words, Yu Jin's words seemed somewhat pale and powerless, "Why don't you believe that I did it for you?"

"..."

Sisi glanced at Zhou Qiyan with interest. "Oh, he still cares about you and was thinking of making you some nourishing soup. Aren't you touched?"

I am not moved.

Zhou Qiyan rested his face on her neck and murmured, "I only like Madam, I don't like anyone else."

Yu Jin heard this and lowered her eyes, her expression blank, as she walked to the edge of the Heaven and Earth Pool to catch the koi.

Suddenly, the moonlight slanted down, shining into the Heaven and Earth Pool, like a dragon gate, and the koi carp immediately became active, leaping out of the water one after another.

"Is it really Longmen?"

Sisi shook her head slightly, "It's just an illusion caused by the moonlight. Her cultivation level is too low to even see the Dragon Gate."

Its jump made it easier for Yu Jin to handle.

She caught the koi fish and stood in the middle, with people on both sides looking at her. Qianqiu's sneer deepened.

The next second, his lips suddenly froze.

Yu Jinzhen gave him the golden scales.

Sisi grabbed Zhou Qiyan's hand, "Alright, we should go back to sleep now. We've been playing here for two days, so you should start thinking about where we're going tomorrow."

"Let's go to Lianshan. It's snowing there, and I heard it's beautiful." Zhou Qiyan pinched her chin, pecked her on the corner of her mouth, and his eyes darkened.

Sisi covered his mouth, and he drawled out his words, sounding extremely aggrieved, "Madam~"

"A vegetarian diet is healthy."

“…”

The next morning, when Sisi got up and went downstairs, she saw Qianqiu and Yujin together, their relationship seemed to have suddenly warmed up. They were even holding hands while eating together, and their ears were all red.

"Look at them, they have such a good relationship. Unlike you, you ignore me all the time." Zhou Qiyan hugged her from behind and lightly bit her neck as punishment, leaving a red mark on her fair skin.

Sisi pushed him away, her ears burning slightly. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Time for breakfast."

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Zhou Qiyan ordered two bowls of porridge and a few steamed buns. They sat opposite Yu Jin, and as soon as they sat down, Yu Jin brought over a bowl of soup.

"Ah...Master Zhou, this is fish soup. Drink some to nourish your body."

Zhou Qiyan raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid Qianqiu will be jealous?"

Qianqiu blushed deeply, but said very generously, "I'm not jealous. Second Master can drink it. As long as Second Master is well, the soup that Yujin made is worth it."

Zhou Qiyan didn't take it, but Sisi took it and smiled gently, "Thank you, Yujin."

She shook her head and stepped back.

The fish soup was very fresh and not too fishy. Sisi pushed it to him, but Zhou Qiyan didn't want to drink it. "I don't want to drink it. You drink it. I'll just have porridge."

"They specially made this for you."

Zhou Qi scoffed, "No."
