Fortunately, apart from those few wisps of demonic energy, Song Miqiu's body was otherwise unharmed.
Song Tingwan's heart slowly calmed down.
The idea was to set up a table on the street after the clan festival and check the health of each clan member.
Two forces are secretly eyeing it, so it's best to be on the safe side.
People come and go in the Magnolia Courtyard.
Song Tingwan led Qin Xi to the most scenic spot in the Magnolia Courtyard.
The pavilion has two floors and an open-air railing.
The small building is sheltered by magnolia branches.
The flower branches drooped slowly, and as the wind blew, the petals fell gently.
"So beautiful."
Qin Xi lifted her skirt and looked up at the flowers, where bright sunlight streamed through the gaps in the petals and leaves.
With a smile, Song Tingwan waved her hand, and tables, chairs, soft couches, and jade teapots and cups were arranged one by one under the tree.
"By the way, where is my little apprentice?"
She suddenly remembered that Baili Xijiang was the only one she hadn't caught yet.
Qin Xi suppressed a laugh and sat down on her gold-threaded couch. "His true form terrified many beautiful ladies. He's probably lying by some stream in the mountains now."
The two girls chatted and laughed. Just as they had said, Baili Xijiang found the end of a stream, and the mountain stream flowed onto him, making his black scales shimmer in the sunlight.
The lying black dragon leisurely flicked its tail.
Hmph, that's how comfortable Grandpa Long's life is!
—We'll be enjoying tea in the courtyard later. Do you want to come back?
The black dragon, which had been soaking in the water, let out a roar and raised its head from the stream.
In a flash, he transformed back into human form.
—Here I am, Master! I'm coming back right away!
Playing in the water is nothing compared to his master; Young Master Long is off!
The water he startled splashed everywhere, but before it could even land, the culprit had already run away in a flurry.
It left behind a mountain stream that looked as if it had just rained.
Magnolia Courtyard.
On a late summer afternoon, the sun was not yet scorching.
As Song Siyao and Wan Qiji hurried down to the bottom of the pavilion, they heard the familiar noise.
And then there's Song Tingwan's occasional mischievous stirring up trouble.
A smile flashed across Song Siyao's face as she took the lead and went up the wooden stairs on the outside of the small attic.
Wan Qiji, who followed behind her, also had a relaxed expression. Amidst the noise of her friends, he smiled faintly as they went up the stairs.
As we stepped onto the last step, the three of them were already looking over with smiles.
"You've come!"
Song Tingwan's dress shimmered slightly in the sunlight, her sleeves fluttering as she sat at the table making tea.
Baili Xijiang stood next to her, facing Qin Xi, lazily munching on an apple.
Two steps away, on a soft couch under the magnolia blossoms, Qin Xi was holding a box of pills and looking at it curiously.
"Come quick! This is a newly refined pill by Wan'er, and it's huge!"
Qin Xi waved to them while holding the elixir box.
The little dragon, munching on an apple, angrily tried to snatch the box, shouting, "Master made this for me!"
"Wan'er showed it to me! Don't be so stingy!"
The two were arguing on the terrace. Song Siyao sat down next to her older sister and handed her a cup as a helper.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Wan Qiji sat down next to the two sisters.
On the long, gold-threaded tea table, in front of Song Tingwan was a set of jade-glazed tea utensils, and the rest were all kinds of food.
Cherry tarts, candied chestnuts, peach blossom cakes, and peanut brittle are laid out in plates, along with various spiritual drinks, making one's appetite soar.
On a pleasant afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle.
The koi in the lotus pond downstairs were a sight to behold. Little Ao excitedly ran down to the water's edge and stretched out his claws to fish.
The five people stood or sat under the shade of the magnolia tree, all looking relaxed.
"The tea is ready."
Before she could even pour the tea, the others had already moved over with their own teacups.
Song Tingwan chuckled, "Did you have fun in Yunyin?"
She moved with unhurried grace, pouring tea for them with a gentle smile and a slight frown.
Song Siyao picked up the teacup, blew on it, and smiled without saying a word.
Whether they were happy or not is unknown, but their presence certainly made Cloud Village a bit more lively.
"I'm so happy, Wan'er! How come everyone in your Yunyin Clan is so beautiful? I don't want to leave!" Qin Xi puffed out her cheeks and blew on her hot tea.
"Hmm... perhaps it's favored by Heaven?" Song Tingwan pondered for a moment, then smiled earnestly.
Baili Xijiang didn't mind the heat and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp. "I think the streams and rivers in Master's house are so comfortable, even more comfortable than Longyuan."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be spending so much time in the water every day.
Although... I originally wanted to play in the water.
Seeing him gulp it down, Song Tingwan shook her head with a smile, "Perhaps there's a spirit mine underground."
Nourished by spiritual minerals, the creatures and beings in the mountains possess a greater spiritual energy than those in the outside world.
The stream water is also sweet.
Baili Xijiang exclaimed and drank the newly poured spiritual tea from his master in one gulp.
Qin Xi slapped his hand as he handed her the cup, annoyed. "Hey, who tastes tea like you?"
Then, looking at Song Tingwan who had filled his cup again, he couldn't help but accuse her: "Wan'er, how can you spoil him like this? If he drinks tea like this, won't people laugh at him in the future?"
"Who would dare laugh at him? Besides, tea is meant to be drunk, and everyone has their own way of drinking it."
The woman brewed another pot of tea with her delicate hands, chatting and laughing.
Upon hearing this, Baili Xijiang made a smug face at her, because he had a master who doted on him.
"Wan'er!"
"Qin Yuanyuan!"
Qin Xi called out to Song Tingwan in a sweet voice, and Baili Xijiang put his hands on his hips and called her by her nickname.
"Calm down and have some cheese."
Wan Qiji silently picked up a plate of cheese.
The two glared at each other, then simultaneously reached for the cheese in his hand.
Song Siyao raised an eyebrow and handed them a plate of cheese.
