"Hurry up, hurry up!" Li Changzhou grabbed the fish basket in his right hand and pulled Yang Qinglan with his left, and they rode away on a cloud.

Amidst Li Changzhou's loud laughter and Yang Qinglan's light, bell-like chuckles, a gust of blue wind swirled above the forest, cursing loudly at the two of them.

The two stopped laughing when they reached the Tongtian River.

"This bamboo spirit, it's just a few bamboo stalks, how stingy!" Li Changzhou laughed.

“If you steal two bamboo stalks today, I’ll take two tomorrow, and Qianxia will take two more the day after tomorrow, and Yaochi will go again the day after that. Will he still plant bamboo?” Yang Qinglan said with a smile as she picked up the fish basket.

The Emerald Bee Sword transformed into a ribbon, which was tied to the fish basket. Then it descended from the clouds and stopped twenty meters above the water. The fish basket was thrown into the Tongtian River as if drawing water from a well in the 1980s or 90s.

"Hey, don't think I didn't hear you and that I used the word 'steal,' while all three of you used the word 'take.' Are you bullying me?" Li Changzhou smiled and leaned closer, looking like he was about to kiss her.

"I'm just teasing you because I like you," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

"I like you too." She said, then playfully teased him.

"Get out of the way!" Yang Qinglan laughed and dodged, only to be kissed on the hair by him. "Don't bother me while I'm chanting the spell."

"The dead go, the living stay! The dead go, the living stay! The dead go, the living stay!"

The reason why the spells are so strange and unusual is to prevent people from guessing them.

The incantation was recited seven times, and when the fish basket was lifted, it was empty. It was then thrown into the river, and the incantation was recited seven more times, and goldfish scales appeared on it. It was thrown again, and the incantation was recited seven more times, and a golden carp was jumping and leaping inside.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Yang Qinglan shouted urgently.

The fish is about to jump out of the basket!

"Where do you think you're going! Take this—am I handsome?" The Tongtian River was so wide, and there was no one around, so Li Changzhou shouted very loudly.

A surge of anger welled up in the golden carp's heart. It couldn't stand Li Changzhou no matter what. Its flesh tightened, and with a flick of its tail, it opened its mouth and lunged at him.

Li Changzhou reached out, grabbed the fish by the gills, and captured it.

"Alright," Yang Qinglan put away the fish basket. "I'm leaving now, or I'll miss my chance. Be careful, and if you encounter any danger, abandon the mission and find a place to cultivate your spiritual energy."

"I know, I know. Remember to call me if you're in danger. By the way, should we bring the carp? Have the Queen Mother cook it."

"Keep it for yourself!" Yang Qinglan chuckled, then suddenly gave Li Changzhou a light kiss before riding the Golden Cloud straight up to the Ninth Heaven to attend the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Li Qianxia and Yaochi also participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival—most of the female immortals with connections, strength, and beauty went.

Li Qianxia was a new disciple of Laozi from the Li Tang royal family, replacing the two disciples, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, who had previously guarded the golden furnace. These two descended to the mortal world to become kings (King Jin Jiao and King Yin Jiao).

Yaochi's identity is even more impressive. She is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother of the West and was named the Goddess of Wushan. The name "Yaochi" was changed by the Queen Mother of the West, and all the immortals respectfully call her "Yaoji".

Li Changzhou was born on Penglai Immortal Island, and his fortune, prosperity, and longevity were all abundant, but compared to Yaochi, he was still lacking.

As for Yang Qinglan, she remains the aloof and beautiful goddess of the Three Realms, known for her purity and elegance.

"What should we do next?" Li Changzhou asked Guanyin.

[I should focus my attention on Yang Qinglan now. I'll probably go to the Hundred Flowers Gathering, but don't worry, even if I do, at most I'll make things difficult for her and take her as my disciple.]

—This carp is a disciple of Guanyin. She might go to the Hundred Flowers Festival to make things difficult for you. Be careful.

Li Changzhou sent a telepathic message to Yang Qinglan, then plunged into the Tongtian River.

King Linggan was driven away by the fish basket, and the water demons were in a panic. Li Changzhou walked straight into the pavilion with the words "Water Turtle's Residence" written on it and sat down on the throne with great style.

"Where did this wildness come from—"

Before the old woman could finish speaking, a very familiar golden carp was thrown at her feet.

"Grill it for me! And bring me some wine!"
