"You little brat, even though that Lady Zhemei is your clan's ancestor, she's still a generation younger than you. What's the point of meeting her?" The fairy maiden huffed and complained to Qinghe again.
“Fairy Maiden, Qinghe knows that she shouldn’t go to see Lady Zhemei, but… since she was little, Qinghe has heard adults say how glorious the past of our Qingqiu clan was and how many amazing ancestors have appeared. However, Qinghe was born and raised in the Liang clan, and what she has seen is very different from what she has heard.”
"The past of the Qingqiu tribe is like a legend. What I saw of the Liang tribe was that they were just struggling to survive in Dongchuan. They were always worried about not having enough food today or about the Yi tribe attacking tomorrow. The tribesmen were just trying to survive, only thinking about getting more rations and less military service."
“Not only do we live in constant fear in our clan, but we also have no entertainment. You might not believe it, but the first time I ever went shopping was when Brother Wang… Brother Wang took me,” Qinghe said, glancing tenderly at Wang Yao.
“In the Liang tribe, everyone wears either military uniforms or robes, and they all look the same. They also eat about the same things, and all year round they eat nothing but dried meat. Even so, sometimes there isn’t enough to go around. Where is there even a trace of the once powerful tribe?”
“My father is the same. All he does is talk about restoring the glory of the Qingqiu clan. He is always flirting with women in the clan. In his eyes, he has no wife, children, friends, or brothers. He made my mother so angry that she wanted to marry me off as soon as possible.”
"He relied on those inexplicable foreign gods to fight against the Heavenly Court, and he became sworn brothers with the Shu clan, whom he had always looked down upon, and formed an alliance. He has absolutely nothing in common with the past powerful figures of the Qingqiu clan in my mind."
"Qinghe knows that Lady Zhemei was the ancestor who led the Qingqiu Clan to fight against the Heavenly Court. Qinghe wants to see her because she wants to see what the powerful people of the Qingqiu Clan were like back then, and why they opposed the Heavenly Court?"
"Qinghe also wants to ask her, because when she attacked the Heavenly Court, the Qingqiu Clan was split into thirteen branches. Although her descendants have suffered hardships and displacement, they have never given up on the path of no return that she once walked. Was it all worth it?"
"As a descendant of the Qingqiu clan, should we live a good life or keep shedding blood and fighting?" Qinghe stared intently at the fairy with her bright eyes.
“You child…” The fairy looked at Qinghe with pity and shook her head helplessly. Qinghe made it very clear that she wanted to see Lady Zhemei, but in fact she wanted to see a dream, a dream that had haunted the Qingqiu clan for many years. She did not want to dream, but she could not get rid of it because she was a member of the Qingqiu clan.
This dream was undoubtedly a nightmare for Qinghe. She wanted to wake up but couldn't, so she could only try to find the root of the dream. She either succumbed to it completely or woke up completely.
"Go, all of you go. You reap what you sow." The fairy sighed and casually took out a small, clean porcelain bottle. "Fairy Caixia asked me to give this to you. She said it can quickly restore your immortal body. Take it quickly, get your body in order, and then we'll go to the Evil-Suppressing Immortal City."
“Caixia…” Wang Yao took the porcelain bottle in surprise, opened it and smelled a strange fragrance. A little fairy was peeking out of the bottle. Wang Yao hurriedly put the cap back on.
He had taken the "Charming Maiden Lily Pill" before. Hua Gu had told him that it was a sacred medicine from the Heavenly Court, extremely rare. He never expected that he would be fortunate enough to take it once. Now, Cai Xia had sent him another one.
"The Beauty Lily Pill? Caixia really treats you differently." The fairy was also taken aback and said in surprise.
"You still call yourself a toad?" Qinghe, standing to the side, raised her eyebrows and glared at Wang Yao.
Wang Yao scratched his head, unsure whether to feel embarrassed or happy. He had previously resented Caixia for not caring about him, but unexpectedly, she had quietly sent him an extremely precious Heavenly Medicine, revealing her care for him. He had been wrong to blame her.
He actually slandered Caixia to Qinghe, which was really unacceptable. Wang Yao thought he had to go find Caixia and apologize in person as soon as possible. After all, Caixia still cared about him.
"Where is she?" Wang Yao asked the fairy.
“Recently, our relationship with the foreign lands has been a bit tense. Isn’t Caixia’s father the God of the Foreign Lands? The Heavenly Court sent her and Taibai Jinxing on a mission to the foreign lands. This is what she sent yesterday before she left,” the fairy said.
"Oh..." Wang Yao casually put the porcelain bottle into his Qiankun, planning to apologize to Caixia properly after she returned.
"Why aren't you taking the medicine? If you take it, your immortal body should be fine. Venus is not in the Heavenly Court right now, so let's hurry to Zhenxie Immortal City," the fairy said.
“I feel my immortal body is fine now, let’s keep this medicine for now,” Wang Yao said.
"No problem? So fast?" The fairy godmother reached out and touched Wang Yao's forehead in astonishment, and was also very surprised when she withdrew her hand.
“He ate the meat his dad brought yesterday and got promoted,” Qinghe said from the side.
"What kind of meat has such miraculous effects?" The fairy was stunned for a moment, but did not ask any further questions. "Since your immortal body is no longer in danger, let's go and complete the discharge procedures and set off now."
Wang Yao wanted to take out the strange meat and have the fairy identify it, but after listening to the fairy's words, he didn't pursue the matter further. He used "Fairy Travel" to fly down the small building with the fairy and Qinghe.
He felt that after adding a little, the speed of this Level 2 "Immortal Travel" did indeed increase, reaching the walking speed of an ordinary mortal. Although it wasn't fast, it was enough to keep up with the pace of the two of them when the fairy maiden and Qinghe didn't exert any effort.
"Let's add two more points and see." With a thought, Wang Yao added two more points to "Immortal Travel". Sure enough, "Immortal Travel" increased its speed again. It leaped forward, startling two cranes that were gracefully dancing among the pines and cypresses. It flew right in front of Fairy Maiden and Qinghe.
