Chapter 11 Descending to Earth

"Finally..." Qing'er wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, looking at the jade pendant in her hand with a face full of joy. Although she had opened up a space within her body after breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, she was curious whether the space jade pendants mentioned in those novels on Earth were real. So after learning how to refine artifacts, she had been researching this, and she didn't expect it to actually work.

Qing'er put the jade pendant away, cast a cleansing spell on herself, and left the room. Once downstairs, she found only Huang'er and Lan'er were there; the other sisters were nowhere to be seen. She asked, "Third sister, sixth sister, where are the others?"

Fifth Sister greeted Qing'er when she saw her. They were all used to Qing'er going into seclusion from time to time. This time, Qing'er went into seclusion for half a month.

"Eldest sister went to the God of Cookery, second sister went into seclusion a few days ago, fourth sister went to Mother's, seventh sister..." Lan'er was fine when she said the beginning, but when she mentioned Zi'er, she started to stammer.

Qing'er had a bad feeling. Could it be...?

Seeing her like this, Qing'er looked at Huang'er again, "Third Sister?"

Huang'er felt a little guilty under her gaze. "Um... Fifth Sister, are you tired after just coming out of seclusion? What would you like to eat? I'll go ask the chef to make you something." After saying that, she was about to leave.

"Third sister, has seventh sister gone down to the mortal world?" Qing'er suddenly appeared in front of her.

Huang'er was stopped and sighed helplessly, "Fifth Sister, Seventh Sister has indeed gone down to the mortal world." She was also helpless. Fifth Sister had only been in seclusion for two days. Fourth Sister, seeing that Fifth Sister was not there, remembered the matter of going down to the mortal world and encouraged everyone to go to the mortal world to play. The eldest sister saw that she was so eager to go to the mortal world, so she thought that she would go secretly once and then she would not keep thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, on that one occasion, Seventh Sister met Dong Yong. Later, for his sake, she secretly descended to the mortal realm. At first, they didn't know, and only discovered it after not seeing her for several days. A day in heaven is a year on earth, so by the time they found out, several years had passed in the mortal world. They tried to persuade her, but Seventh Sister wouldn't listen. Since things had come to this, they could only help keep it a secret.

Qing'er took a deep breath. All the stories she had told were in vain. Despite all the precautions, she still couldn't prevent it. Because the plot was getting closer and closer, and because she wasn't sure when it would happen, she didn't dare to go into seclusion for many years like before. She would only go into seclusion for a few days occasionally to practice. This time, she couldn't stop because she was practicing with the space jade pendant. She thought it would only be half a month and that it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Who knew that her home would still be raided?

She wasn't saying she opposed them being together, nor was she talking about the Heavenly Laws, since they would change eventually. Qing'er simply felt they weren't a good match. Dong Yong was just a mortal, and mortals only live for a short 100 years. What about after that? Would he spend his days in melancholy and longing?

Qing'er calmed down. "No, I have to go down to the mortal realm to see. Third sister, sixth sister, please tell eldest sister for me." With that, Qing'er channeled her immortal power and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the mortal realm.

"Hey, Fifth Sister," Huang'er had barely spoken when Qing'er had already vanished.

"Third sister, don't worry, fifth sister is so amazing," Lan'er comforted her.

"Who's worried about Fifth Sister! I'm worried about Seventh Sister. Will Fifth Sister beat Seventh Sister up?" Huang'er paced back and forth anxiously.

"Fifth Sister wouldn't... right?" Lan'er fell silent after saying this. She knew it was a bad word to say. Everyone could see that Fifth Sister had always opposed everyone descending to the mortal realm, which was why Fourth Sister had taken advantage of Fifth Sister's seclusion to encourage everyone to descend. Fifth Sister was so angry just now; she might really beat Seventh Sister.

Huang'er grew increasingly anxious and said, "I need to go and call my eldest sister and fourth sister to discuss this and try to persuade my fifth sister." With that, she prepared to leave. But before she could go out, she saw Lü'er return.
