"Hey, have you heard?" a bee said to a cricket in a mountain hollow southwest of Suxian Mountain.
The cicada lay lazily on the grass, yawned, and then asked, "What is it?"
"Our mountain god is getting married!" the bee replied.
He instantly snapped out of his daze. "With whom? When did this happen?"
"You don't know yet? The person who came to collect moon dew yesterday said it's a girl who looks a lot like the former mountain god. The date is already set for the ninth of next month." The bee said with a longing look, "I really want to go and see. I wonder how grand the mountain god's wedding will be!"
"I have to leave for a while, so I'll leave this herb in your care..." After saying this, the bee left without waiting for a reply.
"Hey, where are you going? Don't you want the fairy dew anymore?" the bee cried out as it watched the celestial being disappear into the ground, but received no reply. "Never mind, it's better if you don't want it. From now on, it's all mine!"
Unbeknownst to the bees, the celestial beast had already arrived at Suxian Mountain.
"Long time no see, Suxian Mountain!" Ying transformed into a handsome young man dressed in red. After speaking, he headed straight for Liuyun Cave with practiced ease.
When Shen arrived, Leng Yue and Qian Chen were just about to go on patrol. Qian Chen was naturally reluctant to patrol, but Leng Yue said she didn't want to change too much all at once, so they decided to stay put for now.
Moreover, Leng Yue said she would accompany him on his mountain patrols every day, so Qian Chen agreed. As long as his wife was with him, the mountain patrols were just like taking a walk.
The three of them bumped into each other right there in the Flowing Cloud Cave, and stared at each other in disbelief.
Leng Yue: "Who are you looking for?"
Mizuki: "Master..."
Leng Yue and Yun spoke at the same time, and Yun even lunged at Leng Yue after speaking. Naturally, she was slapped away by Qian Chen with a palm strike.
"Get out!" Qian Chen shouted angrily, shielding Leng Yue behind him. "Where did this guy come from, daring to cause trouble in Liuyun Cave!"
The dragon scrambled to its feet, casually brushing the dust off its body, its face full of disdain. "What are you? All you do is wag your tail and beg. Do you really think you're a mountain god?"
"Su Yue, others may not know, but I do. If it weren't for your master protecting you before, you would have been dead long ago, not even a trace left. Get out of my way, I want to talk to my master." Ying also spoke with a sharp tongue, not giving an inch.
Leng Yue was completely confused by his constant address of "master." However, the two remained at an impasse, so she peeked out from behind Qian Chen's shoulder, "Um, young man, who exactly are you? Qian... Su Yue and I still have to patrol the mountain!"
Just moments ago, she was so arrogant, but suddenly she collapsed, like a deflated balloon, looking at Leng Yue with hurt in her eyes, "Master, you...you don't even remember me? You...you're still protecting this heartless man! Master, you...you've gone too far..."
Leng Yue was scolded by Ying and really looked like a heartless man. "Um... young man, don't be sad. Who are you? Also, I'm really not your master. Who is your master?"
Looking at Leng Yue, Yun said, "I am Yun! I am your little Yun! Master, you really don't remember?"
"And who is your master?" Leng Yue repeated helplessly. Was this child stupid? Or was she selectively ignoring certain questions?
"My master is the true master of this Immortal Mountain—the Great Goddess Jianjia!" Shen said with great pride.
"Jianjia?" Leng Yue frowned. This Jianjia was the former mountain god, but the former mountain god was also the one who issued the task—that is, the current one. So, after all this time, she really is Jianjia!
Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a glance, and Qian Chen gave Leng Yue a reassuring look.
"What is your relationship to the Mountain God?" Qian Chen coughed lightly and asked.
Originally, Shen didn't want to pay attention to Qian Chen, but seeing that Leng Yue was also looking at him curiously, he reluctantly answered, "I am the pet of the great god Jianjia."
"Pet? Aren't you a person?" Leng Yue asked, looking naive.
"My true form is an earthworm, and I've been cultivating according to my master's teachings for many years, so I've recently cultivated into human form." The worm said this with a mix of happiness and reserve. After speaking, it looked at Leng Yue, hoping for her praise.
Although Leng Yue didn't quite get his point, she sincerely praised him, "Wow! That's amazing, he can actually cultivate!"
Qian Chen patted Leng Yue's head helplessly. He had been teaching her cultivation recently, but for some reason, she just couldn't learn it. In the words of the elders, she was simply clueless! Therefore, Leng Yue was extremely envious of those who could cultivate and knew how to cultivate.
This is what you lack, and it will become what you care about most!
"Hey, get your filthy hands off me! How dare someone like you touch my master?" The furious creature watching from the side was furious. If it weren't for the fear of upsetting Leng Yue, it might have pounced on her already.
"What's your name?" Leng Yue removed Qian Chen's hand from her head and instead took it into her own hand to play with it.
Seeing Leng Yue's actions, even though she was a hundred or a thousand times unhappy, she only dared to whisper, "Master, this pretty boy is really not a good person. You... you must not be fooled by his appearance!"
"Name!" To dare to insult someone right in front of them—this was truly a first. Qianchen didn't want to argue with Ying, but he couldn't stand his irrelevant answer.
“Ying, my name is Ying.” Ying said, looking at Leng Yue expectantly, hoping to see his familiar reaction.
Leng Yue's expression changed, somewhat surprised, "You're actually a Zang?"
"Yes, I am Yun. Master, have you thought of something?" Yun asked happily.
"I am Leng Yue, the black bean! Don't you remember me?" Leng Yue's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured on Song.
"Black bean? Are you that black bean? You really aren't the master?" The bird was very disappointed. "If you're not the master, then I'm leaving."
"Huh? Wait, it's not that it isn't..." Leng Yue was speechless. How could this person come and go so easily?
"Are you telling the truth?" Facing Leng Yue's face, which was exactly like her master's, Yun was truly filled with anticipation.
"I've forgotten a lot of things. Can you tell me about them? Maybe I can remember something!" Leng Yue also wanted to understand what kind of person Jianjia was.
"Come in and sit down." Qianchen led Lengyue towards the cave, then turned back and called to Yun.
Yun snorted coldly, but still obediently followed into Liuyun Cave.
The three sat down, and Leng Yue spoke first, "Jianjia... uh, no, what kind of person was I before?"
Hearing Leng Yue's words, Yun began to reminisce, a look of happiness and adoration on her face. "Master is so beautiful and gentle, the best person in the world!"
Leng Yue's face darkened. So this wasn't Jianjia's pet, but Jianjia's number one fanboy!
"Then what's going on between her and Su Yue?" Judging from Yun's expression, Leng Yue figured it would be more reliable to ask him the question herself, since he was probably expecting nothing but praise.
Sure enough, the expression on Ying's face changed. "Su Yue is a complete gigolo. If it weren't for Master, the entire Su Xian Mountain would have long since abandoned him! In the end, he shamelessly repaid kindness with enmity. It's really too much!"
As she spoke, she glared at Qian Chen. Qian Chen looked completely innocent, "I'm not Su Yue!"
The ghost didn't believe it: "You're kidding me! I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"
“He really isn’t, I can guarantee that!” Leng Yue also testified. “His magic is very powerful, you’ll see soon enough.”
She was skeptical, but did not refute Leng Yue.
