Bai Suzhen's room is elegantly decorated, with a few plates of orchids on the windowsill, and the room is filled with the fragrance of plants.
"Sister, let's choose this one. It will keep you warmer if you wear it." Xiaoqing picked out a light pink dress from the closet and handed it to Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen couldn't bear to reject Xiaoqing's kindness, so she put on another piece of clothing as she asked.
Xiaoqing felt her eyes light up. The light pink dress made Bai Suzhen look less extraordinary and more gentle and elegant, which made her look more approachable. She couldn't help but move closer, wrap her arms around Bai Suzhen, and stare at her charming face. Xiaoqing murmured, "Sister, you are so beautiful."
"Qing'er, I'll go get you a cup of tea." Xiaoqing's burning gaze made Bai Suzhen's heart confused and her cheeks hot. She took the opportunity to turn around and leave Xiaoqing's arms, and hurried to the table.
"Sister, can you come back to the Dragon Palace with me? I want my father and mother to see you." Xiaoqing's voice came from behind her, and her warm breath was close to her. Bai Suzhen's hand that was pouring tea paused slightly, then she filled the cup steadily, turned around and handed it to Xiaoqing. After careful consideration, she said, "Qing'er, I want to repay Xu Xian's kindness and finish all the things here before I go back to the Dragon Palace with you to see your father, king and mother."
Xu Xian again?! Xiaoqing was confused and clenched her hands tightly. With a "bang", the cup in her hand was crushed by her.
"Qing'er—" Bai Suzhen exclaimed, took Xiaoqing's hand, and looked at her nervously: "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Xiaoqing pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice.
Bai Suzhen made sure that Xiaoqing's hands were not cut by the fragments, and her clothes were only slightly wet. She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiaoqing with a gloomy face, sighed, took out a white handkerchief to wipe her hands, and said gently: "Qing'er, I don't want to go back to the Dragon Palace with you at this time for other reasons, but I just hope that when we face your father and mother, we can have no worries. Although your elder sister and second sister can accept us being together, parents may not be able to accept their daughter falling in love with a woman. I think it will take us some time to persuade them to accept me, and I don't want to be distracted by repaying my gratitude at that time, so I want to help Xu Xian become a famous doctor first, repay his life-saving grace, and then go with you to face your father and mother. Qing'er, can you understand me?"
"Sister, I understand." Although she was still disappointed, Xiaoqing could understand Bai Suzhen's state of mind. Anyway, as a daughter-in-law, she would have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later, and she was not afraid that Bai Suzhen would run away. After thinking it through, Xiaoqing's mood became better. She stared at Bai Suzhen, who was just a few feet away, and smiled again. Her eyes fell on Bai Suzhen's beautiful red lips inadvertently, and she suddenly remembered the first time she kissed Bai Suzhen during the boat trip on West Lake. Although it was an accident, she still remembered the sweet feeling when their lips touched, as if she was savoring those soft lips again.
Xiaoqing's eyes were burning with an unknown look in them. She slowly moved closer, and her warm breath almost covered Bai Suzhen's lips. Bai Suzhen's heart was pounding, and she suddenly realized what Xiaoqing wanted to do. She straightened her back nervously and called out in a low and hoarse voice: "Qing'er, why don't we go for a walk in the courtyard... Um..." Her lips were sealed by Xiaoqing's kiss. Xiaoqing kissed her gently, and her flexible and hot tongue explored between her teeth, which suddenly disturbed her mind. Her face felt a little hot, and her mind slowly melted in the increasingly intense kiss.
Xiaoqing hugged Bai Suzhen tightly, as if she wanted to embed her into her body, enjoying the sweetness between her lips intoxicatedly until she could no longer breathe, then she moved her lips away with difficulty, keeping some distance...
Both of them were panting, Bai Suzhen's face was flushed, and her usually clear eyes were tinged with a hint of shyness, while Xiaoqing's eyes were sparkling and her spirits were high.
The two stared at each other for a long time without speaking, and the room was unusually quiet.
"Sister." Finally, Xiaoqing spoke first, breaking the silence. However, before she said anything, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside the room.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing looked at each other, and they both walked towards the door at the same time. As soon as they opened the door, a stream of water vapor sprayed towards them. Fortunately, Xiaoqing reacted quickly and pulled Bai Suzhen back to avoid it.
"What the hell!" Xiao Qing was a little angry. She looked up and saw Xu Xian holding a water cup in one hand and two pieces of yellow paper in the other. One piece of yellow paper had already been pasted on the porch.
Xiao Qing stepped out of the room and looked at the yellow paper pasted on the porch. Upon closer inspection, she found it was a talisman. Her face changed and she sneered, "Xu Xian, why are you not sitting in the front hall and seeing patients? Why are you sneaking around outside my sister's room and pasting these weird talismans?"
"Sister Xiaoqing, it's like this..." Xu Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained carefully, "I met a Taoist priest on the street this morning. He said that our Baoantang family is in turmoil and there are dirty things causing trouble. His talisman can suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits to keep our home safe, so..."
"So you believed the Taoist's persuasion, bought his ghost painting talismans, and ran back to catch ghosts and demons?" Xiao Qing laughed angrily: "Xu Xian, you are a scholar, but you actually believed what those quacks said. Even if you believe them, you should stick your ghost painting talismans far away. Why are you running to my sister's room?"
Xu Xian nodded and said, "It was that Taoist priest who said that this talisman should be posted outside the house of the women in the family, so that it can catch ghosts and demons."
"Catch ghosts and exorcise monsters? Are there monsters here? Could it be that my sister and I are monsters?" Xiaoqing became more and more angry as she listened.
Xu Xian waved his hands quickly: "Of course not, Sister Xiaoqing and Miss Bai are both immortal-like figures, how could they be monsters?"
Xiaoqing sneered: "Really?"
"Qing'er, it's ok. Mr. Xu also has good intentions." Bai Suzhen persuaded gently. She vaguely felt that something was strange. "Mr. Xu, can you lend me the talisman in your hand to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xian hurriedly handed the remaining two talismans in his hand to Bai Suzhen.
It turned out to be the magic talisman for exorcising ghosts issued by Taishang Laojun! Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, and she had guessed who was playing tricks on her and Xiaoqing. She looked up at Xu Xian and said, "Mr. Xu, Qing'er and I are both from the Xuanmen sect. Although our magic skills are shallow, our ability to exorcise evil spirits is not inferior to those wandering Taoist priests. If there is something filthy in Bao'an Hall, Qing'er and I will definitely be able to see it. You can rest assured that our Bao'an Hall is clean. I think the Taoist priest you met just wanted to defraud money, so he said that."
Xu Xian's face turned pale, and he said awkwardly, "It's all my fault. I believed the Taoist's lies and was bewitched for a while. I beg Xiaoqing and Miss Bai to forgive my momentary confusion. I promise that I will never believe in lies again in the future."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you don't have to take this to heart. Okay, you can go back to the front hall to see patients. I will take care of these talismans."
Xu Xian left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.
