Chapter 59 Su Yuyao decides to inspect the Nine Suburbs Mountains

Su Yuyao strode triumphantly into her courtyard, shouting, "Bai Er! Hurry up and set out the meal, I'm starving!"

Bai Er rushed out, looking flustered, and said, "Miss! You're back! Fairy Fei Hua... she seems to have changed..."

"Has it flared up again?" Su Yuyao rushed into the house.

Feihua stood by the desk with a serious expression. When she saw Su Yuyao enter the room, she walked over and grabbed Su Yuyao's shoulder, saying, "Yao'er, where have you been? Come and recite your lessons!"

"Let me go! I don't want to!" Su Yuyao broke free from Feihua's grasp.

"Yao'er! How dare you defy me?! Bai'er! Go break off a tree branch!" Fei Hua said coldly.

Su Yuyao stared wide-eyed at Feihua, "Feihua! You're Feihua! What 'I am'? Why are you breaking off tree branches?!"

“Miss Yao’er, you should listen to the fairy…” Granny Fangchun gently advised, “The fairy is now disciplining you in the capacity of Lady Qingyue…”

"Huh?! What kind of illness does she have? Why is she doing role-playing?! Don't we have medication to make her sleep?! Let her sleep and wake up!" Su Yuyao hurriedly said.

"Miss Yao'er! She just woke up. Please bear with it and cooperate. Otherwise... this old servant will go and report to Lord Qi Meng that you lost the fairy and hit her..." Fang Chun coaxed and threatened her, finally pressing Su Yuyao down in front of the desk.

"Yao'er! Recite your lessons!" Fei Hua's sudden sternness made Su Yuyao want to cry, but she dared not hit Fei Hua again because Fang Chun was watching from the side.

At the desk, Bai Er was coaxing Su Yuyao, afraid that she would lose her temper; Fang Chun was watching Su Yuyao, afraid that she would hit her; Fei Hua was staring at Su Yuyao, not allowing her to misread a single word!

Su Yuyao wiped away her tears and read softly, "In daily life, one should eat and drink regularly, sit alone without a mouth, and not let a single thought arise. Forget everything else, preserve your spirit and focus your mind, keep your lips touching and your teeth pressed together, do not look at anything, do not listen to any sound, guard your mind internally, and regulate your breathing gently and continuously. Breathe out lightly, as if there is nothing, without letting it be interrupted. Naturally, the heart fire will descend, the kidney water will rise, saliva will be generated in the mouth, the spirit will possess the body, and you will know the path to longevity..."

Although she didn't understand what it meant, under Feihua's intimidation, she could only tearfully memorize these awkward phrases...

Xuanfeng finally felt relieved when he saw the scriptures on Su Yuyao's desk. He stood up, brushed the snow off his clothes, and said to Feiying, "Let's go..."

"My lord, is your headache coming on again? If it's severe, why don't you go back to Chief Sa's place and rest for another day?" Flying Eagle said with some concern.

"It's nothing." Xuanfeng gave a wry smile and said, "Let's hurry on our way and finish this quickly. I... am in a hurry to get back..."

"Huh?" Flying Eagle asked in confusion, "Are you... in such a hurry? Sir, you've never been like this before..."

“Yes, I’ve never been like this before… but from now on, I probably will be.” Xuanfeng chuckled and patted the flying eagle, saying, “Let’s go!”

For thousands of years, his heart had been adrift, but now it finally had a place to rest. Unlike that empty marriage contract, he no longer felt like the world was his home the moment he stepped out the door. Instead, he had a longing that called to him no matter how far or how long he had been away, urging him to come home quickly...

"Ah—! Ah—!" Su Yuyao cried, sitting cross-legged on the bed. "When will Xuanfeng come back! I don't want to take care of Feihua anymore! Let him take her away! Ah—!"

"Oh dear, Miss, please don't be angry. Fairy Feihua is only doing this for your own good..." Bai Er patiently coaxed.

"I don't want her to do this for my own good! When I'm with the Immortal Master, he watches me recite my lessons, and when I come back, Fei Hua watches me too. I don't have any time to play at all! I want to go home... Ah—!" Su Yuyao wailed.

Bai Er quickly coaxed, "Miss, don't worry. I'll go find Lord Qimen later and ask him to ask for leave for you. Let's go home and rest for a few days, okay?"

"Then hurry up and go!" Su Yuyao twisted her body and kicked her legs as she said, "Go now!"

"Oh? Okay! I'll go right away!" Bai Er hurriedly ran out.

"Miss Yao'er!" Fangchun rushed in again. "The fairy has woken up. I didn't recognize who it was this time. Please be careful..."

"Ah? It's changed again?!" Su Yuyao quickly got out of bed and said to Granny Fangchun, "Please help me, Granny. Please stop Feihua, and I'll lock the door. I really don't want to recite my lessons anymore!"

"Girl, you're slacking off again!"

"Huh?" Su Yuyao looked at Feihua standing at the door. "W-what did you say?"

Fei Hua walked over to Su Yuyao with her hands behind her back, leaned down and whispered in Su Yuyao's ear, "Little girl, did you miss me?"

“Fei…Feihua…you…” Su Yuyao stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Fei Hua suddenly kissed Su Yuyao's lips, her tongue, sweet and fragrant like flower stamens, swirling around Su Yuyao's startled tongue.

"Fairy! Fairy!" Fangchun hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

Feihua kissed Su Yuyao passionately while kneading Su Yuyao's breasts with her hands.

Su Yuyao broke free from Feihua's forceful kiss, wiping her mouth as she said, "Feihua! You are Feihua! Not Xuanfeng!"

Fei Hua's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she raised her hand to slap Su Yuyao, scolding, "You child, you can't resist your temper again, seducing Xuan Feng! Go and recite your lessons!"

Su Yuyao covered her slapped face, tears welling in her eyes, and pouted, saying, "Feihua, let me play for a while, I've been memorizing my lessons for days..."

"If you slack off again, I'll beat you!" Fei Hua said, glaring at her.

Fangchun helped Feihua to the table and said softly, "Um... Your Highness, please sit down and rest for a while. This old servant will go and persuade Miss Yao'er."

"Why try to persuade her? If she doesn't listen, just hit her hard!" Fei Hua said, slamming her hand on the table.

Fangchun walked up to Su Yuyao with a smile, took out a handkerchief and wiped away Su Yuyao's tears. "Miss Yao'er, please carry her for a while, so she won't get beaten again!"

"Granny, I really don't want to carry it anymore..." Su Yuyao said, pouting.

Fangchun pulled Su Yuyao to the desk and whispered, "Isn't it all your fault! Why did you have to hit our fairy? Our fairy became like this after you hit her!"

"Granny, please stop talking, I regret it so much..." Su Yuyao sat down, wishing she could slap herself.

"Please pretend for a while. This old servant thinks Bai Er has gone to find Lord Qimen. Lord Qimen should be here soon..."

"What are you whispering about?! Yao'er! Hurry up and recite your lessons! Not a single word can be wrong!"

"Ah?! I understand..." Su Yuyao helplessly flipped through those unfamiliar books...

...

"Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be well!" Ze Yuan said, lifting his robes in a spirited manner.

"Get up quickly!" Mother Yi said with a smile. "Sit down next to me and let me have a good look at you!"

"Yes, Mother!" Zeyuan stood up, took a few steps to Yi's mother's side, and sat down beside her.

Mother Yi held Ze Yuan's hand affectionately, "My Ze Yuan has really grown up! By the way, where is your father? Why didn't he come with you?"

“Mother! Father has gone to the Wuji Path. It seems there’s something going on, but I don’t know the details.” Ze Yuan replied.

"Is that so?" Mother Yi smiled and stroked Ze Yuan's face, saying, "Ze Yuan, you've grown up. Although there's a funeral in the palace and we can't arrange a marriage for you, you've chosen so many maids and experienced matters of the heart. You're truly an adult now! You should shoulder the responsibilities you should bear! Wuji Dao is under your jurisdiction. You can't always rely on your father to take care of things for you. Don't you feel sorry for him? Besides, even if you don't have to do everything yourself, you should still be aware of what's going on!"

Zeyuan sighed and said, "Mother, I want to too... but Father always thinks I'm not doing well, so he always makes decisions for me, and he never tells me anything..."

"Zeyuan, you need to show some attitude, otherwise people will think your father is a Daoist Heavenly Lord! Hehe..." Mother Yi teased, covering her mouth.

Ze Yuan smiled awkwardly. He also wanted to take control of the Wuji Dao, but the issue of the monthly salary made Chao Xi doubt Ze Yuan's abilities even more.

"By the way, Zeyuan, Feihua is very ill. This kind of hysteria can get worse or better in a short time, so... my idea is to find you a good match after the mourning period is over... What do you think?"

Zeyuan had already lost interest in the flying flowers, so he readily agreed, "Your subject will obey Mother!"

Mother Yi smiled and nodded, then stroked Ze Yuan's head and said, "You have so many women now, you need to take care of your health and not be too indulgent. Also... you should cherish your own women. If you let others warm them, I'm afraid they might develop a divided heart..." Mother Yi said meaningfully.

Ze Yuan looked up at his mother and stammered, "Mother...your son..."

"Good child, you are my child, how could I not know? However, if you entrust some things to others, I'm afraid... trouble will ensue!"

"Your subject...understands!" Ze Yuan replied, bowing his head.

"You've really suffered..." Mother Yi gently pulled Ze Yuan into her arms, her eyes sharp, a smile playing on her lips.

...

"Miss! Miss!" Bai Er called out happily, "Lord Qimen is here! He's gone to ask for leave for you..."

"No manners! Bai Er! Who taught you to shout like that!" Fei Hua slammed her hand on the table and scolded.

"Ah..." Bai Er looked at Fei Hua's appearance and Su Yu Yao's tearful face, and knew that Fei Hua had become Qing Yue again. She quickly said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. This servant knows her mistake!"

"Hmph! If there's a next time, see how I punish you!" Fei Hua turned to Su Yuyao and said sternly, "Yao'er! Why did you stop?! Keep reciting!"

Su Yuyao finally had hope. She turned to Feihua and said, "Feihua! Uncle Qimen has asked for leave for us. We can go home now!"

“Let’s go home… Let’s go home…” Fei Hua began to think again.

"Yes! Let's go home!" Su Yuyao looked at Feihua, who was in a daze, slowly stood up, walked over, and took Feihua's arm, saying, "Feihua, be good, you and Granny Fangchun go back and pack your things, we're going home soon!"

“Go back and pack your things… then you still have to memorize your lessons!” Fei Hua said blankly.

"Ah... okay, I'll take the book back and memorize it, alright?" Su Yuyao said with a wry smile.

"Yao'er! Uncle's here to pick you up!" Qi Men's voice was full of affection.

"Uncle! Uncle! You've finally arrived!" Su Yuyao rushed out of the room and threw herself into Qi Men's arms. "Uncle! Why did you take so long! I've suffered so much!"

"Oh dear, hahaha! What's wrong with you? You just memorized a few more books..." Qi Men said with a laugh.

"Uncle, you don't know!" Su Yuyao looked back at her room, leaned close to Qimen's ear, and whispered, "Feihua is confused now! Every time she wakes up, she doesn't know who she will become! Just now she became Xuanfeng, and then she became Lady Qingyue, forcing me to memorize my lessons!"

"Huh? Hahahahahaha!" Qi Men stroked his beard and laughed even harder.

"Don't laugh! I don't know how many times she's scolded and beaten me!" Su Yuyao pouted. "These days, I've been so busy memorizing and writing that I haven't had any time to play at all..."

Qi Men stroked his beard, looked at the wronged Su Yuyao, and asked, "Yao'er, I'm going to inspect the branches in Jiujiao Mountain. Would you like to come with me?"

"You mean... take me to inspect the branch?" Su Yuyao couldn't believe her ears. She asked cautiously, "Take me there?"

"Yes! Are you going or not?" Qi Men asked definitively.

"Go, go, go! Of course I'm going! Great! Great! I can finally go up the mountain!" Su Yuyao laughed and clapped her hands, jumping high as she ran into the house, pulling Feihua along, "Feihua! We're going up the mountain!"

"Let's go up the mountain! Let's go up the mountain!" Feihua didn't understand, but she jumped up and down as well.

Qi Men stood in the courtyard, watching Su Yuyao's excited expression, and laughed heartily...

Su Yuyao respectfully bid farewell to Qi Meng, listened to some instructions on practicing meditation on time, and received some troublesome homework.

She glanced at Meng Yu, who was lying on the bed resting, and said a few sarcastic remarks that only worsened his injuries.

Finally, satisfied, he shouldered his little bundle, took Bai Er with him, led Fei Hua, followed Fang Chun, and left the academy with Qi Men in a grand procession.

As the last rays of the setting sun shone on Su Yuyao's cheerful figure, Bai Er ran up behind her to protect her, calling out, "Miss! Miss! Be careful! Don't fall!"

Feihua wanted to jump up and down like Su Yuyao, but Fangchun grabbed her tightly.

"Awooo—!" Ruixue heard Su Yuyao and Bai Er's voices, transformed into a snow wolf, and ran down the hillside.

"Ruixue! Ruixue!" Su Yuyao ran over excitedly, hugged Ruixue's neck, and shouted, "Ruixue! Let me ride you!"

Upon hearing this, Ruixue immediately turned to run away, but Su Yuyao grabbed her tail. Su Yuyao then skillfully mounted Ruixue again, and Ruixue was once again bullied in her familiar way.

"Yao'er! Your uncle will come to pick you up tomorrow morning! Let's go up the mountain together!"

"Okay! Hahahaha! Ruixue, run faster!"...

After dinner, Su Yuyao patted her bulging little belly and fed her white rice cake while saying, "Bai Er! Go and tell Granny Fang Chun that besides Fei Hua's medicine, don't bring too much luggage. Just bring the necessary things!"

"Yes, Miss!"

"Ruixue! You have to come too!" Su Yuyao said in a low voice, "I want to find a chance to go to the snow mountain!"

“Miss Ningbao! This… isn’t quite right…” Ruixue said with some difficulty, “Lord Qimen probably won’t agree!”

"You stupid dog!" Su Yuyao said softly, "Why do we have to let Uncle Qimen know?! We have to sneak away! And you're not allowed to tell Bai'er! If Bai'er finds out, she'll definitely tell everyone!"

"But……"

Su Yuyao didn't give Ruixue time to question her. She turned to Bai Migao and said, "Baimigao, you have to go tomorrow too, so you have to be obedient! No tantrums, no slacking off, understand?"

"Chirp chirp!" the white rice cake nodded in response as it ate.
