Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and just as Jun Qi had said, Xiang Si arrived slowly on the tenth day with a medium-sized ship.

In August, the temperature rose even higher.

Xu Qiaoqiao has been feeling very hot these past few days. When she was a blue whale, she never felt the word "hot." Except for sometimes when she stayed on the surface of the sea for a long time, she would feel like her head was on fire. Otherwise, she was in the sea, so it would be strange if she felt hot.

But people are different.

The scorching sun hung in the sky, like an incandescent light bulb; just looking at it made you feel hot.

Fortunately, she didn't have to stay in such hot weather for too long, but Xu Qiaoqiao was still very happy because usually at this time, her heat cycle would start, which was very difficult to endure. But now that she had become human, she didn't need to worry about this problem at all.

The boat that Xiangsi brought was not big; it was just an ordinary fishing boat with some mottled marks on it, and there were some fish on it. It must have been bought temporarily from the coast in such a short time.

However, it's more than enough to accommodate three people.

This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao had seen Xiangsi since she woke up. She was dressed in white, just like when she first met Mu Sili. Her long black hair was tied up with a single wooden hairpin, and she had a bare face with very little emotion on it. It was probably because of the loss of her closest loved one that she was like this.

The boat trip was boring. Xiangsi and Junqi took turns rowing. Xu Qiaoqiao originally wanted to try it, but Xiangsi coaxed her by saying it was tiring and that the sunlight was too strong. Working under the blazing sun would be tiring and hot.

This last point made Xu Qiaoqiao immediately abandon the idea.

The journey back always takes less time than the journey there. By the time Xu Qiaoqiao finally set foot on land, it was already five days later.

For the first few days, Xiangsi followed them around, introducing them to various things. Most importantly, she promised her master that she would teach Junqi how to draw those talismans.

Three months later, Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao had become completely familiar with this new world, and Xiang Si said goodbye to them.

After all, who can stand such a big light bulb?

Before leaving, Xiangsi held Xu Qiaoqiao's hand and smiled slightly: "Sister Qiaoqiao, although I feel a little reluctant to say this, I still want to say it."

"Go on," Xu Qiaoqiao said nervously, looking at Xiangsi. During this time, Xiangsi had been acting like a mother hen, no, even better than a mother hen. She had been very attentive in every way, which made Xu Qiaoqiao feel embarrassed.

That's great, really.

However, she also knew that the reason she was so kind was not only because of her own kind nature, but also because of her master.

It's early morning now, and the fog is still quite thick. Winter is almost here, and I'm sure it will snow soon. The temperature is dropping rapidly, and pedestrians are hurrying by, all with their hands tucked in.

Xiangsi smoothed her wind-blown hair, which made her nose a little red. "Sister Qiaoqiao, live happily and take good care of yourself. Don't let the envoy get caught."

Xu Qiaoqiao nodded. Of course, she would care about matters of life and death.

"If we get caught, light this. I'll definitely know." With that, Xiangsi took out a small white candle from her package. It had a faint fragrance about it.

What is this?

Xu Qiaoqiao accepted it, just in case. Although Junjun was very capable, it was always good to have an extra backup plan.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, you must live happily and freely."

Xiangsi reached out her hand, paused in mid-air for a few seconds, and then rubbed Xu Qiaoqiao's head a few times. It felt pretty good.

After saying that, he mounted his horse and rode away into the morning light.

...

The first place they went to was to climb the Magpie Bridge.

That happened a year later.

The name "Climbing the Magpie Bridge" is derived from the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It is said that if you and your lover walk across this bridge together, the couple will live happily ever after.

We will never be apart.

The Magpie Bridge is not a bridge on land. It is located between two high mountains and is connected by ropes. When viewed from the foot of the mountains, the bridge looks like it is growing in the air. It is not very clear in the cloud layer.

At the foot of the mountain, an old woman was still telling the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and recounting the legend of the bridge.

A crowd had gathered around, mostly children in their early teens, listening to the old woman tell stories and occasionally letting out a few sighs.

Although this bridge sounds famous, not many people come here, probably because it is built too high.

Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head and glanced at Jun Qi. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her. They both saw their own reflections in each other's eyes. She smiled and said, "Jun Jun, let's go."

As she spoke, she took Jun Qi's hand and began to walk forward. There weren't many pedestrians at the foot of the mountain. On the way up the mountain, the two of them met several couples like them, all of whom wanted to walk on the Magpie Bridge.

I hope to be with my beloved forever.

By the time Xu Qiaoqiao and the others reached the summit, it was getting late, and the sun in the distance was casting an orange glow, coloring the clouds around them with the same hue.

It's autumn now, and migrating birds fly across the sky from time to time. As the sun sets, this beautiful scene is worth seeing.

This bridge is a suspension bridge, which is somewhat inadequate given the current level of industrial technology. It must have been built by some exceptionally powerful expert, after all, this world is quite fantastical.

"Jun Jun, let's hurry up and walk, then we'll go have dinner."
