Flying together
The more Yuanli looked at it, the more familiar it looked. She seemed to have seen records of this mythical beast somewhere, but she could not remember its name.
It kept trying, and was somewhat exhausted. Yuanli stood there for a long time but finally couldn't bear to leave. The blue bird fell from the air, and Yuanli rushed forward to catch it in her arms.
As she hugged the bird, Yuanli's fingers sank into the fluffy feathers, and the ridges under the warm skin slightly protruded. Only then did she realize that the bluebird seemed a little too thin.
"Manman~Manman, where are you?"
The shouting in the distance was getting closer, and the bluebird suddenly became a little wilted and curled up in her arms.
A red figure approached, and when he saw her clearly, he paused and hurried over. The immortal was wearing a red robe and had silver hair, which looked festive.
"Manman, why did you run out again? You made it so hard for me to find you."
Yuanli was a little puzzled. Although his hair was full of silver, he didn't look very old. Yet he called himself an old man, which was a bit contradictory.
"Are you the mortal wife of my unkind nephew in three lifetimes?" the immortal joked.
The nephew he was talking about should be Heng Jin, but she had never known that Heng Jin had such an uncle. She only knew that Heng Jin was raised by the Emperor of Heaven, who treated him like his own son. Apart from finding someone to cheat on him, there was no news of him doing anything to let him down.
The immortal took the blue bird from her hand, conjured up an exquisite red rope and placed it in her palm, guiding her fingers to hold the red rope tightly in her hand.
"Consider this as my thank you gift to you. See you next time, Lord Broom Star." After saying that, the immortal winked at her meaningfully, waved goodbye to her enthusiastically, and left.
After he left, Yuanli looked around and realized she had gone in the wrong direction, so she had no choice but to turn back. She looked up at the stars in the sky, realizing it would be too late to go back. She hadn't fed Xiaobai the Huayu Pill yet.
The journey was long, so Yuanli quickened her pace to hurry back. After walking for a long time, she still didn't see the familiar road. Yuanli was so bored that she played with the red rope in her hand.
Until she saw the outer wall of Taibai Xingjun's palace from afar, the red rope in her hand had been woven into a complete bracelet. She learned the technique from Xiaotao. She wondered if they were doing well in the mortal world.
"Ari? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you come from over there?"
Yuanli looked up and saw Tianshu standing in front of her with a smile on his face. In his hand was a basket of sparkling beads, which seemed to be as big as fists.
"What are you waiting for me for, Star Lord?"
"The night-shining pearls from the North Sea are useless to me. You can use them to illuminate your dark palace." As he said this, Tianshu handed the basket of night-shining pearls from the North Sea to her, with a slight smile on his lips.
I picked up a night pearl and held it in my hand to take a closer look. It was heavy and emitting a bright glow, like an enlarged version of a firefly's butt.
Yuanli was not thinking about lighting, she herself was the candlelight, brighter than this, like the night-shining pearls from the North Sea. A full basket of them should be enough to build several temples.
At this moment, her mind was full of the newly built temple. In front of her majestic and tall statue, there were incense sticks and candles, and sugar figures were offered. The temple was crowded with pilgrims, and full of merits. Yuanli couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Noticing Tianshu Xingjun staring at her, and seeing her utterly awful behavior, Yuanli coughed twice to mask her embarrassment. She pocketed the basket of night-shining pearls, and after much deliberation, she gave him the red string bracelet.
Tianshu stared at the red string she handed him in confusion, his lips about to open and close. Yuanli was afraid he would change his mind, so she immediately put the red string into his hand and said, "You're not a stranger, don't be polite. Take it. Don't let the deep affection between us down. Let's go."
After saying that, Yuanli quickly walked and disappeared around the corner of the wall. Even after she walked away, she did not forget to turn her head slightly to see if he was catching up with her.
Only after the Taibai Xingjun Mansion completely disappeared behind her did she feel relieved and slowed down. Yuanli gently fiddled with the night-light pearl and counted, "One temple, two temples, three temples...six temples, hahahaha."
Adhering to the idea that wealth and talent should not be revealed to others, Yuanli put the night pearl into the Lingbao silver bell.
By the time she arrived at her own immortal residence, Yuanli was already sweating profusely. As she stepped through the threshold, she felt as if her feet were weighed down by a hundred taels of gold. Holding onto the threshold, she couldn't help but say to herself in frustration, "Xiaobai, you have to make your mother proud. Walking is so tiring..."
As soon as she pushed open the door of the main hall, Xiaobai was lying cross-legged in the middle of her hall. The Huayu Pill was very effective, and Xiaobai's body was as thick as her thigh.
Hearing the sound, Xiaobai raised his head lazily, and when he saw it was her, he rushed towards her with joy on his face. Yuanli had just taken two steps back when Xiaobai had already wrapped around her, rubbing his chin against her head.
It is said that snakes and dragons are cold-blooded animals, but why does the white dragon she raised look like a dog?
Yuanli struggled to lift it, trying to reduce the weight, but its heaviness still made her grit her teeth and ask, "Xiaobai! How much do you weigh now? Don't you know?"
After untying Xiaobai's restraints, Yuanli took out a pot of Huayu Dan and placed it in front of it before climbing onto the bed. At night, a cool breeze blew through the warm quilt, chilling her once again. Yuanli felt the same way as last night, but this time, she wasn't fully asleep yet.
The tiredness disappeared in an instant. Yuanli narrowed her eyes. The quilt beside her bulged high. The thing in the quilt moved to her side, and her feet immediately stuck to its shin bone.
Someone with that body temperature wasn't breathing. Yuanli held back her screams and clutched the corner of the quilt. After counting to three seconds in her mind, she suddenly changed back to her true form and crawled out of the quilt. The hall was lit by candlelight, and strands of silver hair were spread on her pillow. Yuanli felt a chill in her heart.
"You're old and gray, imitating the little thugs who came here to steal flowers? How dare you climb into my bed? I'll burn you to death..."
Before he finished speaking, he shifted the quilt restlessly, causing goosebumps to crawl up the back of his neck, and the sparks of his outer flame crackled restlessly.
The corner of the quilt slipped off, and Yuanli was ready to set someone on fire at any time, but the white-haired old man in front of her was not there, but a silver-haired handsome man who was rubbing his eyes sleepily. His silver hair cascaded down to his waist like a waterfall, his eyelashes were fluttering and white, his skin was dazzlingly white, and he was wearing a warm pajamas.
The handsome man put down his hands that were rubbing his eyes, frowning anxiously, and looking at her pitifully with his light green eyes. His slender hands with distinct joints and white skin wanted to pull her into the quilt, but they suddenly bounced away the moment they touched her. The handsome man shook his hands off in pain, and did not forget to put them on his cold chest to cool down.
It is beautiful, but unfortunately, it is a dead ghost.
"Ari, it hurts..." The handsome man stretched out his burned hand to her and asked for comfort with tears in his eyes. His voice seemed extremely charming and aroused pity.
Bah, a vixen.
"Who are you? How can you, a snake-rat kid like you, a filthy flower thief, call me by my name? Even if..."
Yuanli was filled with righteous indignation and kept talking until she heard the handsome man's voice saying that he was Xiaobai. Yuanli blurted out, "Even if you are Xiaobai, you can't... What! You are Xiaobai?"
As she screamed in surprise and looked puzzled, his pajamas slipped off, and the handsome man turned into Xiao Bai and stared at her with his head tilted.
"Are you scared of me, A-li? But didn't we eat, live, and sleep together before? A-li, after seeing a majestic beast like Hun, does that mean you don't want me anymore? Is it because my transformed form doesn't look good?"
Bah, damn vixen.
After Xiaobai asked four consecutive questions, Yuanli felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart. She seemed to understand the stupidity of King Zhou. The emperor slept on the bed with a beauty, but he did not hold court early in the morning.
After comforting Xiaobai, Yuanli sent it to the side hall to sleep. She thought it was time to find a fairy boy. Living alone with such a handsome man would definitely lead to rumors.
Before returning to her room and getting on the bed, Yuanli specially stepped on the door before she could fall asleep peacefully.
In the early morning, the fragrance of flowers and food penetrated through the window and woke Yuanli from her sleep. She opened her eyes and heard the sound of fallen leaves being swept outside the window.
Pushing open the door, Yuanli saw Xiaobai sweeping fallen leaves in the yard wearing Wen Yici's old clothes. The loose clothes seemed a little inappropriate on him.
"Ari, have breakfast."
After saying that, Xiaobai put down the broom and went to the kitchen which had not been used for a long time. When she came out, she was holding a bowl of refreshing porridge and various earthly dishes, all of which she had cooked in the mansion.
It wasn't too bad to eat, but it was already very good for a white dragon. Now that her consciousness had returned to heaven, she didn't need to eat three meals a day, but she still gave him enough face.
After eating a big meal, Xiaobai proudly took back the dishes and washed them, with a face full of pride.
Even though the person in front of her was a handsome boy, she was still not used to it. As Xiaobai grew bigger and bigger, facing his bloody mouth, Yuanli still felt a little creepy when she thought about it.
When he was about to leave the house, Xiaobai followed and transformed into a dragon. After being fed with the nourishing pills last night, Xiaobai's dragon body had become as thick as a waist, and the small horns on his head had grown longer and extended to both sides. His scales were even more shiny, emitting a silvery-white glow, and he kept spitting out red letters.
Xiaobai lowered his head towards her and reached out to her steadily. Yuanli patted his dragon body and said, "Xiaobai, you are still young, so there is no need to rush about the mount. I will take you to register for the Divine Horsemanship when I have time another day."
As she said that, she pushed Xiaobai back to the gate of the mansion, waved goodbye to it, and left alone in its lonely eyes.
After asking around along the way, she arrived at the Sixian Pavilion, where several fairy children came to greet her one after another. However, when they heard that she was the Broom Star God who had come to look for fairy children and fairy messengers, they poured her some tea and then left.
After sitting for a long time and finishing all five cups of tea on the table, Yuanli felt a little restless. A short and skinny fairy messenger with an unattractive appearance paced hesitantly not far from her, stealing glances at her from time to time.
She seemed to have some memory. When he entered the cabinet, he was alone in the dark. Everyone was busy and no one paid attention to him. He looked a little embarrassed.
She understood the feeling of being excluded. Until now, she seemed a little different among a group of gods. She seemed to see herself who had just ascended to heaven in him.
Yuanli waved at him. He looked around to make sure she was calling him, then pointed at herself questioningly. Only after getting her affirmative nod did he approach.
He bowed respectfully to her with all due courtesy and said, "Xing...Xingjun, how may I help you?"
