Tianhefang, Mingsu Garden.
The boy Qingyi stood in the garden, his bright eyes flickering as he looked at Fang Jian who came out from the fairy light.
"Master Hongqing." The Qingyi boy waved and called out to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian quickly stepped forward and asked the Qingyi boy, "Fellow Daoist Qingyi, has the Grand Master returned recently?"
The Qingyi boy shook his head and said, "The queen hasn't been back recently."
"Oh, thank you for telling me, fellow Daoist." Fang Jian bowed to the Qingyi boy and thought to himself, "Since the great envoy has not returned to Mingsu Garden, he must be in Taixuan Palace."
He had asked for leave from Wang Yao again and was ready to make a petition to the Grand Envoy before going down to the mortal world to rescue Cen Biqing.
He and Cen Biqing had a personal relationship, so when he went down to the mortal world to rescue people, he had to report to the Queen Mother of the West before leaving the Heavenly Palace.
Just as Fang Jian was about to leave, the Qingyi boy grabbed Fang Jian's sleeve.
Fang Jian turned around, looked down at the cute little boy, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
The Qingyi boy said with a smile, "Although the queen hasn't been back recently, she is resting in the small pavilion in the garden today."
"Oh?" Fang Jian was delighted when he heard that, and immediately said to Qingyi Boy, "Great, you can lie too."
The Qingyi boy blinked his big eyes and said, "You are asking about recently, not today. The Queen hasn't come back recently."
"Hahaha." Fang Jian smiled and rubbed Qingyi Tongzi's head, then nodded and said, "Yes, I asked the wrong question."
Upon hearing this, the Qingyi boy said, "Master Hongqing, I want candied haws, Li'er fruit, and candied haws made from purple caramel."
Fang Jian heard this and immediately said, "Okay, I'll buy you a box once I see the chief envoy."
"I want ten boxes!" said the Qingyi boy.
Fang Jian was startled, then nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, then buy ten boxes."
It's really pitiful for this Qingyi boy. In the billions of years since he was enlightened, he has never left Mingsu Garden, let alone seen the world outside Mingsu Garden.
Last time, two female colleagues from the Inspection Office bought some candied haws and gave a bag to Fang Jian. Fang Jian himself didn't like them, so he took them back and gave them to Qingyi Tongzi.
From then on, the child became obsessed with candied haws and pestered Fang Jian for them every day. However, Fang Jian had no merit and was eventually too embarrassed to come to Mingsu Garden.
"Then you should go and see the Queen quickly. The Queen just instructed that if you come, you should go directly to Lingsu Pavilion to see her." Qingyi boy said hurriedly.
Fang Jian nodded, then walked quickly into the garden and followed the path paved with broken jade straight to the bottom of Lingsu Pavilion.
Fang Jian entered the palace gate and walked up the jade steps inside the hall to the outside of Lingsu Pavilion, the third floor of the Jade Palace. He then faced Lingsu Pavilion and bowed, saying, "Your servant Fang Jian pays homage to the Grand Envoy."
"Come in." The voice of the Queen Mother of the West was heard from Lingsu Pavilion, still so majestic.
Then the door of Lingsu Pavilion opened automatically, and a burst of cool fragrance blew to one’s face. Inside the Lingsu Pavilion, there were wisps of purple smoke and sparkling fairy light.
Fang Jian lowered his brows and entered the Lingsu Pavilion. When he reached the screen in the pavilion, he once again bowed to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who sat on the jade couch behind the screen and said, "Your servant Fang Jian greets the great envoy."
"Come behind the screen." Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu said softly.
Fang Jian was slightly startled when he heard this, but he still obeyed the order respectfully, "I obey the order."
When Fang Jian walked behind the screen, he saw Jiu Tian Xuan Nu lying on the jade couch with her back to the bed, wearing a simple and clean Taoist robe. But for some reason, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu's robe looked a little empty today.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled at Fang Jian and said, "Young man, come forward and help me."
"This..." Fang Jian was stunned this time. He thought he had heard it wrong and looked at the Queen Mother of the West with some confusion.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled faintly and said, "You heard me right. Come and help me up."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "The great envoy has a beautiful and graceful body. How dare I be disrespectful? It would be better to let the Qingyi boy..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Jiu Tian Xuan Nu scolded softly, her phoenix eyes falling on Fang Jian and said, "Just come if I tell you to. There's no need for so much nonsense."
Fang Jian was speechless after hearing this and immediately said, "Yes."
Then Fang Jian quickly stepped forward, gently stretched out his right hand and placed it on the left shoulder of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, and his left hand rested on the drooping left arm of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu.
Fang Jian's right hand fell on the jade shoulder of the Queen Mother of the West. He felt it was soft and hazy. He couldn't describe the feeling, but he felt very comfortable.
But when his left hand touched the left arm of the Lady of the Nine Heavens, Fang Jian was startled and shouted quickly, "Great Master, your hand..."
"Help me sit up first." said the Queen Mother of the West.
Fang Jian immediately and carefully helped Jiu Tian Xuan Nu to sit up. When Jiu Tian Xuan Nu sat upright on the jade couch, she said to Fang Jian, "Lift up your sleeves."
Fang Jian hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He had never had such contact with a woman before, but under the majestic gaze of the Queen Mother of the West, Fang Jian had no choice but to do as he was told.
When Fang Jian gently lifted the left sleeve of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, he was shocked.
There was not a trace of flesh and blood on the entire left arm of the Queen Mother of the West, only bones.
Although it was just bones, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's bones were made of divine jade and were majestic and immortal. Even at this moment, the bones were glowing with nine-colored rays of light.
"Master, how could this happen?" Fang Jian asked in horror.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled faintly and said, "I've met a worthy opponent. I've only sustained a minor injury. My soul is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, so this minor injury won't harm me. I just need some time to recuperate. Besides, it's just a shell. If I choose, I can rebuild a higher-level body in a million years. Don't worry."
