It was just after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the weather was particularly hot and humid. After dinner, Xiaoqing dragged Bai Suzhen to the pavilion in the backyard to enjoy the cool air. The stone table in the pavilion was already filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.
"Sister, these wild fruits were picked by Heimian and his friends on the mountain. They taste sweet and sour and are delicious. You should try them." Xiaoqing pulled Bai Suzhen to sit down, picked a red date herself and handed it to Bai Suzhen's mouth.
"Qing'er, I can do it myself..." Bai Suzhen was about to raise her hand to take it, but Xiaoqing quickly held her hand down, shook her head and said with a smile: "No... Sister, just open your mouth obediently, I will feed you."
Bai Suzhen blushed, glared at Xiaoqing in anger, and whispered, "I'm not a child, I don't want you to feed me."
"Well then—" Xiaoqing took Bai Suzhen's hand, put the red dates in her hand, then moved closer to Bai Suzhen, pointed at her mouth, and said seriously: "I don't mind being a child, sister, it's your turn to feed me."
Bai Suzhen burst out laughing at Xiaoqing's amusement. She stretched out her hand and gently pushed away Xiaoqing's face. She coughed lightly, deliberately put on a stern face, and said, "The dignified Third Princess Long is acting like a spoiled child here. How can people see her... Why don't you hurry up and finish it?"
"There's no one else here..." Xiao Qing said nonchalantly, "So what if someone sees us? Who would spoil the fun by kissing me?"
"Qing'er..." Bai Suzhen's cheeks were hot and a red cloud rose on her face. She shook her head. She really couldn't do anything about Xiaoqing, so she had to obey her and feed the red dates in her hand into her mouth.
"The red dates are really sweet." Xiaoqing smacked her lips contentedly, sat up straight, took the plate with a few purple fruits next to her, peeled the purple fruits on the plate, and handed the flesh to an empty plate in front of Bai Suzhen. "Sister, try this purple jade linglong, it takes three hundred years to bloom, three hundred years to bear fruit, and three hundred years to mature. It's rare that Bai Fu and the others came across it today and picked it back."
"It's really the Purple Jade Linglong." The Purple Jade Linglong is a rare nourishing holy product for those who practice Taoism. Bai Suzhen naturally recognized it. One Purple Jade Linglong can at least increase the mana of twenty years, so most practitioners will spend a lot of effort to search for the Purple Jade Linglong fruit. However, the Purple Jade Linglong takes 300 years to bloom, 300 years to bear fruit, and 300 years to mature. Moreover, each time, no more than ten fruits are produced. It is very precious and rare, so few practitioners can get it. Bai Suzhen looked at it and saw six Purple Jade Linglongs on the plate in front of her. Probably all the fruits in the past thousand years are here. If these six Purple Jade Linglongs are really obtained by Bai Fu and his friends by chance, then Bai Fu and his friends are too lucky. Bai Suzhen is a little suspicious of how Bai Fu and his friends can have such good luck. Suddenly, Bai Suzhen remembered that at dusk, she saw Bai Fu and the others being called aside by Xiaoqing. They were carefully told something, and then Bai Fu and the others went out one after another, and did not come back until dinner time... With a thought, she glanced at the other fresh fruits on the table - Cangming snow pear, kiwi fruit, and Zuilihong. All of them were holy products of the fairy world. Suddenly, she understood something, raised her head, met Xiaoqing's eyes, stared at her, and slowly a faint mist rose in her eyes, but a smile appeared at the corners of her lips. Unlike the past, this time her smile was more happy than touching. "Cangming snow pear can only be found in the fairy garden of Green Source Immortal Weng on Cangwu Mountain, and Zuilihong can only be found in the abyss of the North Sea... Qing'er, these holy fruits of the fairy family on the table were specially found by you and the five dragons, right? It seems that Bai Fu and the others mentioned to you the old beggar and grandson who were poisoned by the crane's top red. It's hard for you to spend so much thought on me."
"Hey, sister, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you." The table is indeed full of immortal holy fruits that do not exist in the mortal world, and each one is a tonic. Knowing that Bai Suzhen had lost a lot of mana to cure the old beggar's grandfather and grandson of the deadly poison, how could Xiaoqing sit idly by and watch? She naturally wanted to find ways to help Bai Suzhen make up for the lost mana. As the third princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the North Sea Dragon King is her uncle, and the Green Source Immortal is a close friend of her father. She asked them for some immortal holy fruits, and of course they would not be stingy. However, it was really due to luck that she got the purple jade exquisite fruit. When she returned to the East China Sea with her eldest sister and second sister, she accidentally found a purple jade exquisite tree on the top of a cliff she passed by, but she had no time to stop and pick the fruit on the tree at that time, so she hurriedly set up a barrier to hide it, so as not to be picked by others. Until today, she ordered Bai Fu to go to the top of the cliff to pick them back. "Sister, I don't object to you saving people, but you have to take care of yourself too. I've only been away for a few days, and you've become so haggard." Xiaoqing frowned, with a hint of anger in her tone. She ordered, "Well, your task tonight is to eat all the fairy fruits on the table."
"All?" Bai Suzhen looked at the table full of fairy fruits with some embarrassment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Qing'er, the food on the table is enough for three people. How can I finish it all by myself?" She just had dinner, and she really couldn't eat much. "Besides, saving the old woman and her grandson, I only lost a little magic power! There is no need to eat so many fairy fruits to make up for the magic power."
"I don't want to hear that." Xiao Qing knew that Bai Suzhen couldn't eat all the fairy fruits on the table, but seeing Bai Suzhen frowning and smiling bitterly, she thought it was fun to tease her, so she deliberately pushed the plate in front of her towards Bai Suzhen, raised her chin, and made a gesture of invitation, "Sister, these are all yours, you are responsible for solving them."
"Qing'er, do you really want me to eat all the fairy fruits on the table?" Bai Suzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Xiaoqing and tried to negotiate: "Can I just eat a little bit?"
Xiaoqing smiled and shook her head, apologetically saying, "No!"
"..." Bai Suzhen pursed her lips, sighed softly, smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, I really shouldn't let Qing'er down." She elegantly took the purple jade exquisite fruit from the plate and slowly tasted it...
Half an hour later—
"Sister, don't eat anymore. You'll have a stomachache if you eat too much."
"It's okay. Even though I have a stomachache, I can't let you down, Qing'er. I will insist on finishing all the fairy fruits on the table."
",,,,,"
"Sister, I was just joking. I didn't really want you to eat all the fairy fruits."
"But - I'm not kidding. Since I promised, I should finish eating the fairy fruit."
"Sister—" Someone's voice began to beg for mercy: "I was wrong, okay?"
"elder sister-"
"Haha... okay, I can't eat anymore. It's getting late. Let's pack up and go back to bed."
"Sister, can you give me half of your bed tonight?"
",,,,,,,"
"If you don't say anything, I will take it as your agreement. Haha... Let's go back to the room and go to bed..."
The author has something to say: I really don’t have the ability to update daily~~ But I am quite satisfied with the current speed, hehe~~
Everyone's suggestions are very pertinent. I have learned a lot. In the following chapters, except for the introduction of Fahai because of Liang Lian, I think the other plots will be different from the TV series. I originally wanted to write about the emotional entanglement between the eldest princess and Hu Meiniang in this chapter, but then I wondered if it would be better to put them in a special chapter? Well, it seems that I have to think about it carefully first.
