After walking for a while, they arrived at a cave dwelling.
Then, Mo Qian and Xiao Bai went inside.
After dodging numerous attacks, Mo Qian finally arrived at the depths of the cave.
On the high platform, there is something that resembles the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) compass, giving people a sense of weight and solidity.
Mo Qian seemed to be drawn to the platform and came up to it.
Then, before Xiaobai could stop him, he placed his hand on the Qiankun Bagua plate first.
Then, Mo Qian's body fell downwards.
"Master!" Xiaobai rushed forward and caught Mo Qian's body.
However, Xiao Bai soon discovered that Mo Qian's soul had left her body.
At this moment, Mo Qian's soul entered the Qiankun Bagua Plate, and after traversing the river of time, it finally arrived in the ancient era.
It possessed the body of the cave's owner, the ethereal fairy.
"I heard that another beast tide is coming. These days, quite a few cultivators have come to the city."
"Yes, this is the first beast tide in two hundred years, and it is said that the Beast King is leading the way."
"No wonder the city is so tense and the atmosphere is so heavy that I don't dare to wander around."
...
When Mo Qian woke up from the body of the ethereal fairy, she heard these words.
Looking at her surroundings, Mo Qian quickly realized that this was not the cultivation world she was familiar with.
"Piaomiao, why are you still here? Go back quickly, or your master will worry." Just as Mo Qian was still in a daze, a female voice came.
Then, a female cultivator dressed in a white robe came to Mo Qian.
"Okay, Senior Sister, I'll go back right away." Before Mo Qian could react, Fairy Piaomiao replied.
"That's more like it. A lot of cultivators have come to Maple Leaf City recently. It wouldn't be good if we caused a disturbance. Let's go back quickly."
Afterwards, Fairy Piaomiao left with her senior sister.
Behind them, rumors of the beast tide were still circulating.
Mo Qian possessed the body of the ethereal fairy. Although she could not control her body and could only watch, she was free in her mind.
"You're back? Hurry up and come in!" Just as Fairy Piaomiao and her senior sister reached the door, and Fairy Piaomiao hesitated for a moment, a voice came from inside.
Feeling guilty, the ethereal fairy pushed open the door and went inside.
"Master, I was wrong," he pleaded softly.
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have come back so late just to play." Fairy Piaomiao lowered her head, her toes touching the ground.
“With so many outside cultivators flooding into Maple Leaf City, it’s very unstable. You were indeed wrong today.”
"I'm punishing you by making you stay indoors copying books for three days to calm your mind," said the Fairy Piaomiao's master with a serious expression.
"Yes, Master." Seeing her master's serious expression, Fairy Piaomiao didn't dare to retort.
Accept the penalty directly.
"Alright, go out now," said the ethereal fairy master, waving her hand.
"Yes, Master. This disciple takes her leave." Then, Fairy Piaomiao left the room.
She returned to her own room.
Upon returning to her room, the ethereal fairy did not immediately copy the book. Instead, she poured out a bunch of trinkets from her spatial bracelet and placed them on the table.
These were all purchased by the Fairy of the Misty Clouds when she went out to stroll through the market today.
Then, a book fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the ethereal fairy picked it up from the ground.
It was a free gift with other purchases made today.
Then, the ethereal fairy opened the book.
It turns out that it tells the story of a female cultivator and a young beastman who fall in love.
It describes the ups and downs of both sides, filled with love and hate.
Finally, the beastman boy sacrificed himself to protect the female cultivator and her half-demon son, allowing them to escape.
However, after safely sending the half-demon child away, the female cultivator committed suicide in front of the beastman boy's corpse.
After seeing the ending, Fairy Piaomiao was filled with longing for the love between the two.
They also felt great pity for that half-demon child.
Mo Qian also saw this story through the Fairy of the Misty Clouds.
However, unlike the ethereal fairy, she did not express any sentimentality about the love between the two.
From the very beginning, the two should not have come into contact; being of different kinds meant a tragic ending.
As for the half-demon child, he merely perpetuated the feud between the two, against both humans and beastmen.
It just depends on which side it's on.
"This half-demon child is so pitiful." The ethereal fairy's saintly heart was stirred.
However, since it was just a story, after a few sighs, he put it to heart and then wrote the punishment copy with a troubled expression.
Three days later, after handing in the punishment copy, Fairy Piaomiao finally felt a sense of relief.
"Master, it's my punishment to copy this."
"Yes, learn your lesson this time. You can't be so reckless again in the future," said Master Piaomiao Fairy with a serious expression.
"I understand, Master. I won't do it again next time." Fairy Piaomiao blushed.
"Okay, go down there. Spend more time with your senior sister and learn from her. Then I won't be so worried."
"Yes, Master." Then, Fairy Piaomiao left the room.
As for Fairy Piaomiao's master, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes as he watched her retreating figure.
"Senior Sister, I've come to find you." Fairy Piaomiao then arrived at the door of Senior Sister's room.
"Come in."
"Senior Sister, you're drawing talismans again?!" Fairy Piaomiao exclaimed with admiration.
"Yes, now is a crucial time, so it's good to prepare more talismans," the senior sister said earnestly.
"Piaomiao, you can't keep playing around. You should focus on cultivating more."
"I understand, Senior Sister. I'll head back now." Seeing that her Senior Sister was about to nag her again, Piaomiao quickly took her leave.
After leaving the room, feeling a moment of boredom and unease, I thought of the pastry shop next door.
Pastries made with the essence of the spirit flower and its elixir are elevated to the highest level of flavor.
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
It's not far, so the master probably won't say anything to her.
So, Piaomiao left the inn.
I walked toward the pastry shop.
Because there was a road in between, as Piaomiao walked by, she happened to see several male cultivators with low cultivation levels beating a child.
"Stop!" Piaomiao stepped forward and shouted to stop them.
"What brings you here, fairy?" Among the group, the male cultivator with slightly higher cultivation level asked Piaomiao, his tone carrying a hint of respect.
"Why are you doing this? How dare you bully a child like you!"
"My lady, you may not know this, but this child stole the steamed buns made by my family's spirit flour, which is why I was angry and wanted to teach him a lesson."
"You can't be so ruthless. I'll pay for the steamed buns. You can leave now." With that, Fairy Piaomiao tossed a spirit stone to the other party.
The other party took it and a hint of joy appeared on their face.
"Thank you, fairy. We'll be leaving now." After saying that, the male cultivators quickly departed.
