Xiaoqing was originally the third princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. She had been pampered since childhood. If she wanted to make things difficult for others, it would be easy for her to do so. She was willing to stay with Bai Suzhen just to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Bai Suzhen. She had always felt resentful when she was defeated by Bai Suzhen at the beginning. Only when she could win back a game could she let it go. After getting along with her for many days, she had not found a suitable opportunity. This injury was a good opportunity. She could take this opportunity to make things difficult for Bai Suzhen. After teasing her enough, she would leave Qiantang and live freely.
As Bai Suzhen said, Xiaoqing's external injuries were not a big deal. Bai Suzhen's magic power was enough to repair the wound. Although the internal injuries were not light, they were not as serious as Xiaoqing, who had the dragon's true qi in her body, imagined. The reincarnation disaster caused the dragon's true qi in Xiaoqing's body to be sealed, but Kong Qianli's palm turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The sealed dragon's true qi took the initiative to protect the master at the moment she was attacked, and recovered. Although only a very limited part of the dragon's true qi could be controlled in her body now, it was more than enough to recover from the injury. In the next few days, Xiaoqing used the midnight time every night to sit cross-legged and meditate, mobilizing the dragon's true qi in her body to regulate the internal injuries. In this cycle, the injuries were no longer serious in just three days. However, when facing Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing deliberately pretended to be weak and seriously injured, and then stayed in bed all day, letting Bai Suzhen serve her. Seeing Bai Suzhen busying herself for her every day, asking about her well-being from time to time, and her embarrassed look of having to get up in the middle of the night to cook because of her deliberate provocation, Xiaoqing felt secretly happy - although her conscience would sometimes feel a little uneasy, but as a punishment for provoking her, it was not excessive to make things difficult for Bai Suzhen. At least compared to those who had provoked her and ended up miserably, Bai Suzhen was already very lucky, and she had been very merciful to her.
That evening, Bai Suzhen brought the prepared dinner to Xiaoqing's room. Xiaoqing took a glance and saw that there were four dishes and a soup, all of which were her favorite flavors. If it were any other day, she would definitely have a good meal, but unfortunately, in order to make things difficult for Bai Suzhen, she could only pretend to have no appetite in front of the delicious food.
"What's wrong, Qing'er? Why aren't you eating?" Bai Suzhen saw Xiaoqing just sitting there without eating, so she asked, "Is the food not to your liking?"
Xiaoqing frowned, looked at the table full of food, then looked at Bai Suzhen, hesitated, gritted her teeth, shook her head, and forced a smile: "No, my sister cooked all my favorites, how could it not suit my appetite." After that, she picked up a piece of tofu and put it into her mouth, while silently counting "one, two, three..."
"Qing'er—" As expected, as soon as the third number was counted, Bai Suzhen reached out and snatched the chopsticks from Xiaoqing's hand. She sighed and blamed: "If it doesn't suit your taste, why force yourself? I'll make it again."
Xiaoqing was secretly proud of herself. Bai Suzhen was so gullible that she was fooled like this. She really didn't know where her nearly two thousand years of Taoist skills had gone.
"Sister, no need. You've been tired for most of the day. Don't work hard for me anymore. Anyway, I'm not hungry and don't want to eat." Although he intended to make things difficult for Bai Suzhen, he had to do a good job on the surface and act properly.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said softly: "Okay, don't say any more. Don't I know what you are thinking? Wait here for a moment, I will go to the kitchen and make something lighter for you." After that, Bai Suzhen got up and left the room.
You really don't know what I'm thinking. Xiaoqing watched Bai Suzhen disappear at the door, thinking to herself: Bai Suzhen, if you knew I was teasing you on purpose, what would you do? Would you just laugh it off? Or would you get angry? Even if it wasn't the other person, you would probably be angry, right? Oh, but by the time you knew, I, Xiaoqing, would have already left Qiantang a million miles away, and you wouldn't be able to find me to argue with you.
After waiting for a while, Xiaoqing became impatient. It shouldn't take so long to cook a meal, right? She didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so she simply got up and headed towards the kitchen. She wanted to see what Bai Suzhen was doing in the kitchen and why it took so long.
The kitchen door was open. Xiaoqing saw Bai Suzhen busy from a distance. The elegant and quiet woman, who had never done housework, was now busy at the stove like all other women, busying herself for a meal. Looking at the slender and weak figure, Xiaoqing suddenly felt a little bit of pity. Thinking of the days since she was injured, Bai Suzhen had taken care of her without regrets. She suddenly felt very sorry for this woman. She shouldn't have made things difficult for her because of her momentary impulsiveness. She was defeated by her because she was not as skilled as others. She couldn't blame anyone. Why did she make things difficult for her? Forget it, let's stop here, talk to her clearly, and go our separate ways.
"Ah!" In the kitchen, Bai Suzhen suddenly cried out in pain.
Xiao Qing was startled, rushed forward, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Bai Suzhen was slightly startled when she saw Xiaoqing suddenly barge in, and said, "Qing'er, why are you in the kitchen?"
"Don't worry about that for now, tell me where you're hurt?" Xiao Qing was a little angry and yelled. This woman, even at this time, still has the mind to ask questions, I really admire her.
"Did you hurt your hand?" Seeing that the back of Bai Suzhen's right hand seemed to be red, Xiaoqing hurriedly pulled her hand over.
"Hiss—" Bai Suzhen took a breath of cold air. She shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "Qing'er, can't you be gentler?"
"I..." Xiaoqing was too anxious to pay attention. After hearing what Bai Suzhen said, she realized that she had hurt her accidentally. She pulled the corner of her lips and replied sullenly: "...I know, I'll be gentle. Did you get burned?"
"Well, I was accidentally scalded just now, it's nothing, just soak it in cold water." Bai Suzhen pulled her hand out, turned around and walked to the water source nearby, soaked her scalded right hand in the cold water for a while, then she wiped her hand, turned back and smiled at Xiaoqing, and said, "Okay, it's okay now."
