Carefree and Easy

On the beach, Leng Xiang silently followed behind Su Qing, watching her back.

Leng Xiang naturally noticed the movement of Su Qing's palm...

It was just that she didn't understand her meaning for a moment.

After thinking for a short while, she finally understood Su Qing's intention...

Then she hurriedly reached out and grabbed that hand.

Su Qing's palm wasn't large, but it was quite soft...

And it was also cool... it felt exceptionally comfortable to touch.

Leng Xiang couldn't help but grip it a bit tighter, while also gradually walking parallel with Su Qing.

"I suddenly remembered, walking hand-in-hand on this beach like this, it seems to be the first time..."

Su Qing felt Leng Xiang grip her tightly and couldn't help but smile, saying.

"It seems so... Usually, Master likes to stay at home to cultivate, rarely even leaving the courtyard..."

Leng Xiang said with a beaming smile.

Her mood at this time was naturally very good... The displeasure caused by some messy matters earlier had completely vanished.

"That's why I said, an opportunity like today is truly rare." Su Qing smiled and said, "How is it? The feeling of stepping on the sand with bare feet is also quite nice, right?"

Leng Xiang nodded with a beaming smile, her face overflowing with a smile, she was truly beautiful.

As she spoke, Su Qing suddenly pulled Leng Xiang and started running...

Since they were out to play, and since it was playing, they naturally had to have fun.

After running for a short distance, Su Qing slowed her pace again and talked with Leng Xiang about other things.

The two of them chatted like this, one word after another, walking on the beach, leaving two long trails of footprints.

Unknowingly.

The sun began to set.

The orange-red sunset made the seaside scenery even more beautiful.

Su Qing found a place with a good view and sat down, hugging her knees and looking at the sunset from afar.

Leng Xiang sat calmly by Su Qing's side, speechless and silent, exceptionally quiet.

As Su Qing watched the sunset, her thoughts couldn't help but drift further and further, and she couldn't help but think of some things.

After a long time, Su Qing suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Leng Xiang... do you think this thing called Fixed Fate is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Leng Xiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned upon hearing this; she had never thought about such a strange question.

Naturally, she didn't know how to answer.

After a long time, she gave a very middle-of-the-road answer, or perhaps a universal answer.

"There's probably both good and bad?"

"......"

Su Qing thought about it and suddenly smiled, turning her head to look at her and saying:

"Probably so... after all, nothing is just black or white!"

Leng Xiang was a bit confused; Su Qing's abrupt question made her completely unaware of what Su Qing actually wanted to say.

"Master... why did you suddenly ask about these things?"

"Ah, it's actually nothing, mainly I just suddenly thought of some things, so I couldn't help but think a bit deeply about it."

Su Qing smiled, reached out to pat Leng Xiang's head, and said:

"Don't worry too much about it..."

"Really?"

"Yes, really! What kind of person I am, it's not like you don't know."

Su Qing said with a beaming smile:

"As for the question I just asked you, I have an answer now."

"Hmm?"

"Master was right... just follow your heart."

Su Qing smiled, then stood up and looked at Leng Xiang, saying:

"Alright, don't think about it anymore, just treat it as me having a daily bout of madness. Let's go, it's getting late, we're going back!"

Leng Xiang looked at Su Qing, still somewhat confused.

Although she already understood her clansman very well, sometimes she still couldn't keep up with her Master's train of thought.

However, Leng Xiang didn't intend to ask further; she just nodded with a beaming smile.

No matter what her Master chose, she would choose to stand with her Master.

She reached out to grab Su Qing's extended hand, standing up with Su Qing's strength, and asked:

"What does Master... want to eat tonight?"

Su Qing thought for a moment and said with a beaming smile, "How about eating you?"

"If Master wishes, Leng Xiang naturally has no objection."

"Then forget it, I can't bear to eat you... let's get some fish to eat tonight!" Su Qing smiled and said.

Hearing this, Leng Xiang nodded slightly, appearing as if she hadn't taken it the wrong way, and followed Su Qing back to the courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, Leng Xiang went to prepare dinner.

Su Qing, on the other hand, went back to the room, intending to see how Ao Ying was sobering up.

However, just as Su Qing entered the room, she found that Ao Ying was no longer there.

After asking Gongsun Zhixue, Su Qing then learned that not long after they left.

Ao Ying had sobered up a bit, then told Gongsun Zhixue, and rode a cloud back to the pool by herself.

Knowing that Ao Ying had gone back, Su Qing was relieved.

As long as she didn't run around blindly, it was fine.

But Su Qing couldn't help but think, if she rode a cloud back after drinking, would that count as drunk driving?

She shook her head slightly; there were no traffic police in this world, so even if it was drunk driving, no one would manage it.

Then, with nothing to do, Su Qing ran to the kitchen to help Leng Xiang prepare tonight's dinner.

Late at night, the troop of monkeys was still singing and dancing.

Su Qing was helpless for a moment but didn't bother with those monkeys.

She just plugged her ears and then had a good night's sleep.

The next day...

Flower-Fruit Mountain returned to its tranquility, and Su Qing sat in the courtyard cultivating as usual.

She was cultivating when she suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside...

At the same time, the cry of that monkey also rang out.

Su Qing paused her cultivation, glanced at the gate, then sighed slightly and said, "Wukong? Come in."

Wukong pushed the door open and entered, asking with a chuckle:

"Big Sister, it's really been a while since we last met. Yesterday when I returned, I held a grand banquet, why didn't Big Sister come? I waited for Big Sister for a long time!"

Su Qing glanced at Wukong; that monkey head was still in that same outfit, clearly unable to part with that set of armor.

Or rather, because it was magnificent, he couldn't help but like to show it off.

Hearing this, Su Qing smiled slightly, quite calm, and shook her head, saying:

"You know, I don't really like lively scenes. That environment was too noisy, so I didn't go. Besides, I knew you would come sooner or later!"

There were two reasons why Su Qing didn't want to go.

On one hand, it was naturally to reduce her own influence, and on the other hand, she didn't want to show her face in front of beings like the Bull Demon King.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Big Sister still likes peace and quiet as always!"

Su Qing shook her head and said, "Peace and quiet is naturally the most comfortable."

Wukong chuckled and didn't mention the matter of yesterday's banquet again.

His Big Sister did as she pleased; he had long since grown used to it.

Actually, Wukong wanted Su Qing to go to the banquet also to introduce his Big Sister to his brothers.

Of course, getting to know each other was one aspect.

On the other hand, it was also to tell them that this was his Big Sister, not someone they could provoke at will.

But since Su Qing didn't go, he had no choice...

He could only verbally introduce her to his brothers... to save them from not knowing her at all.

"Peace is good, peace is good!" The monkey chuckled.

Then he couldn't help but tell Su Qing about some things he did outside during this period... how majestic he was, how powerful he was!

Including how he met those few friends and brothers of his!

The monkey head was incredibly excited while bragging about these things, talking for a long time.

Su Qing didn't interrupt but just listened calmly, occasionally chiming in with a few words to show she was listening.

As for more evaluations, Su Qing didn't say any more.

As for how those brothers of his were, Su Qing naturally knew, but she was too lazy to make evaluations.

After the monkey had said enough, Su Qing then spoke up and said:

"By the way, this time you went out, you didn't go around saying my name, right?"

The monkey naturally told the truth, saying:

"Of course I didn't say Big Sister's name recklessly! This time, only the few brothers who came to my Flower-Fruit Mountain know of Big Sister's existence!"

Hearing this, Su Qing also nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, that's good."

The fact that the monkey didn't recklessly say her name made Su Qing breathe a sigh of relief...

Fortunately, this guy was obedient and didn't make her 'famous throughout the world,' otherwise she would probably be stained with a bunch of trouble.

At the end, Su Qing gave another warning.

Lest this guy cause trouble and bring a pile of trouble to her.

Wukong just nodded upon hearing this... he understood the logic.

His Big Sister had always been relatively low-key and didn't like being famous... naturally, she wouldn't let him spread her name recklessly.

After they finished chatting, Wukong didn't stay in Su Qing's courtyard the whole time.

For Wukong, Su Qing's courtyard was incredibly boring! So naturally, he couldn't sit still after a while.

Thus, after saying a word to Su Qing, he ran off to drink with that group of fair-weather friends of his.

Su Qing didn't stop him from this.

If he wasn't in her courtyard, her side could be a bit quieter.

There was no need for her to care too much about what he did.

Besides, Wukong was currently full of pride and arrogance; even if she spoke, it probably wouldn't be of much use, and might even have the opposite effect.

After chatting with Wukong today, Su Qing could naturally feel it.

After Sun Wukong returned from this trip, his spirit was even higher than when he first got that set of armor.

That's why Su Qing was too lazy to say more!

Just let him be...

If he continued like this... he would inevitably cause Havoc in Heaven later.

"But I remember there are still many things before Havoc in Heaven... after the Dragon Palace, it should be the Underworld." Su Qing shook her head slightly and didn't continue reminiscing.

Anyway, the monkey's personality was already set; becoming that matchless, heaven-high Great Sage Equal to Heaven was only a matter of time.

She only needed to wait for time to pass and let things develop slowly.

In this way, days passed one by one.

Unknowingly, it was already July...

One day, Su Qing was fishing next to the peach blossom forest.

Just as she was getting into it, she suddenly felt something vibrating in her Sleeve Universe.

Taking it out to look, she then realized it was that invitation.

Su Qing's brow twitched, her heart understanding.

Well, were they worried I'd forget, so they specifically added this kind of spell?

"It's just that unknowingly, it's already July... it's not far from the Ullambana Festival."

Su Qing looked at the shimmering water, her heart unable to help but sigh at how fast time passed.

However, for the Ullambana Festival invitation, Su Qing naturally still had to go...

After all, she was also very curious about who exactly invited her, and what exactly was the matter for inviting her to that Ullambana Festival.

"In a few days, it should be revealed, right?" Su Qing smiled and shook her head slightly.
