Xiaoqing rode the wind and flew out of Qiantang County, traveling west for 30,000 miles to reach Baihua Valley. Outside Baihua Valley was a mysterious barrier. Xiaoqing forced her way into the barrier, and just as she landed under a flower tree, more than a dozen women in pink jumped out from all directions and surrounded her.
“What evil monster dares to trespass into the Hundred Flowers Valley!” a woman in pink clothes shouted.
"Rongrong, it's me."
"Third Princess? Why is it you?" The pink-dressed lady named Rongrong looked closely and saw that it was Xiaoqing. She was overjoyed and pushed aside the others to rush forward and joyfully pulled Xiaoqing to her side, asking, "Are you here to look for Sister Qinghuan?"
Xiao Qing was startled and asked hurriedly, "Did Sister Feng really return to Baihua Valley?"
"Yes." Rongrong nodded and said, "It was Sister Yanran who brought Sister Qinghuan back. Sister Qinghuan was still injured when she came back. She has been recovering in the valley these days."
Xiao Qing asked, "How is Sister Feng now?"
Rongrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Princess. After Sister Yanran's treatment, Sister Qinghuan is now fine."
Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
Rongrong said, "Third Princess, I will take you to see Sister Qinghuan now." Whenever Xiaoqing came to Baihua Valley in the past, she must have been looking for Feng Qinghuan. This time, Rongrong naturally thought that she was looking for Feng Qinghuan, so she pulled her up and wanted to take her to Feng Qinghuan's residence.
Xiaoqing did not move. Rongrong turned around and looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong, Third Princess?"
Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go see Sister Feng later. Where is Mu Yanran? I'm here to look for her."
Rongrong asked in surprise: "Are you here to look for Sister Yanran?"
Xiaoqing nodded: "Yeah. Where is she?"
"Sister Yanran should be over at the flower pond right now."
"I'll go find her." Xiaoqing said goodbye to Rongrong and flew towards the flower bed.
Rongrong looked up at Xiaoqing's departing figure, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and felt that it would be better to tell Sister Qinghuan the news of Xiaoqing's arrival, so she dismissed everyone and went to Feng Qinghuan's residence alone.
Xiaoqing rushed to the flower pond and landed by the edge of the pond. She caught a glimpse of several pieces of clothes of extraordinary texture placed by the pond. The sound of water waves came to her ears. She raised her eyes and looked into the pond, but saw a woman with her eyes closed, floating on the water in the middle of the pond. The clear water could not hide her exquisite body. Her graceful figure was exposed in front of Xiaoqing, making her stunned for a moment and unable to look away for a while.
"Who is it!" Mu Yanran suddenly opened her eyes and shouted coldly when she felt someone approaching.
Xiaoqing came to find Mu Yanran, but she never expected to bump into her bathing. She was distracted for a moment, and before she could look away, she heard Mu Yanran's cold shout. The next moment, she saw a splash of water in the pool, and a figure flashed in front of her. "Pa!" A crisp slap hit her face cleanly. Xiaoqing was annoyed, raised her head and shouted angrily: "Mu Yanran, what are you doing?"
"Hey, isn't this the Third Princess Long? When did you become such a shameless person as to peek at others taking a bath?" Mu Yanran was already dressed at this moment. She straightened her clothes, threw her long hair that was still dripping with water behind her head, glanced at Xiaoqing nonchalantly with her side eyes, and said sarcastically.
"Peeping? Humph! We are all women, what can I peek at?" Xiaoqing retorted rudely: "Besides, I was watching openly just now. How can it be called peeping?"
"The Third Princess Long has always been sharp-tongued. I, Mu Yanran, am ashamed of myself." Mu Yanran looked at Xiaoqing coldly: "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of the Third Princess Long's visit?"
"I came here for Yufeng's marriage." Xiaoqing said straight to the point: "I heard that the Jade Emperor has issued an order to grant you and Yufeng a marriage. Is this true?"
Mu Yanran raised her eyebrows and sneered, "So Princess Long San came here for this matter. So, what does the princess mean to the Jade Emperor?"
Xiaoqing frowned and said bluntly: "You and Yufeng are not suitable. We must find a way to cancel this marriage."
Mu Yanran said in a cold tone: "It seems that it is not your turn to ask about my affairs. Even if you are against my marriage with your brother, you should look for your brother and the Jade Emperor instead of coming to my Hundred Flowers Valley to ask me for an explanation."
Xiao Qing said, "I just want to know what your attitude is towards the marriage arranged by the Jade Emperor. If you also disagree with this marriage, this matter will be much easier to handle."
Mu Yanran curled her lips and said calmly, "Princess, if you can cancel this marriage, I, Mu Yanran, will be grateful."
"Okay, we have a deal." Mu Yanran's words were enough. Xiaoqing put her worries aside, turned around, and prepared to go see Feng Qinghuan, but she heard Mu Yanran's cold voice: "Qinghuan is still recuperating, Princess, it's better not to disturb her."
Xiaoqing paused for a while, then nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of Sister Feng." After that, she flew away.
"Xueyan." A fragrance came, and a light pink figure suddenly appeared where Xiaoqing had just stood. It was Feng Qinghuan. Feng Qinghuan heard Rongrong say that Xiaoqing came to Baihua Valley and went to the flower pond to find Mu Yanran, so she hurried over, but she was still a step late. Seeing that Xiaoqing's figure had disappeared into the sky, Feng Qinghuan was anxious and flew in the direction where Xiaoqing left, trying to catch up with Xiaoqing. As soon as she moved, her wrist was grabbed by someone.
"—She's gone!" Mu Yanran bit her lip, her eyes filled with anger and pity: "Qinghuan, don't be silly. If Ao Xueyan cared about you, she wouldn't have ignored you all this time since you came back to Baihua Valley for so long. She is so heartless and ungrateful, why are you so infatuated with her?"
"No, Xueyan is not like what you said. If she is heartless and ungrateful, why would she come here? Let me go, I want to find her." Feng Qinghuan wanted to break free from Mu Yanran, but the more she wanted to break free, the more Mu Yanran refused to let go.
"She came to Baihua Valley because of the marriage arranged by the Jade Emperor, not for you. She knew that you were recuperating in the valley, but she didn't even want to visit you and left in a hurry. If that's the case, and you still want to find her, I won't stop you, go ahead!" Mu Yanran let go of Feng Qinghuan and stopped trying to stop her.
