Su Qing was stared at by Chang'e's incredibly expectant gaze and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.Sometimes, she also had no way to deal with Chang'e.
"Got it, got it! I'll change then!" Su Qing could only nod, then took the clothes from Chang'e's hand.
Su Qing actually had no special requirements for clothing.
After all, what difference did it make what clothes she wore?
However, Chang'e was right; since it was for a banquet, she naturally had to change into suitable attire.
Regardless of whether the banquet was grand or small, it was a sign of respect for the host.
After taking the clothes, Su Qing went into the inner room to change.
While changing in the inner room, Su Qing finally saw Yuer.
Just as Chang'e had casually mentioned earlier, the girl had indeed fallen asleep while changing, and was now sleeping quite soundly.
But looking at her, she probably fell asleep by accident halfway through changing.
To be able to fall asleep even like this showed how hard she had been working recently.
"I should still talk to Chang'e about it later... It wouldn't be good if this girl really ran away from home in the future."
Su Qing stroked her chin, thinking to herself.
Su Qing only cared whether Yuer's body could handle it.
As for how to compensate for the absence of the Jade Rabbit tribulation in the future Journey to the West.
That was something others needed to consider.
Amidst her random thoughts, Su Qing's dress was finally changed.
She walked to the water mirror and adjusted her dress.
She also wanted to admire whether she looked good in this outfit.
"Looks... pretty good."
Su Qing looked at herself in the mirror, couldn't help but smile, and muttered to herself:
"But... this dress initially looked pure and cute, so why does it have an inexplicable sensuality after I put it on? Is it really because of the size?"
She couldn't help but look down at her chest...
Well, it was heavy, she couldn't see her feet at all.
Thinking...
She couldn't help but shake her head helplessly; the size wasn't something she decided.
It was already like this when she transformed, and she couldn't change it even if she wanted to.
Unless she used a transformation spell to turn into someone else's appearance...
But even if she turned into someone else's appearance, her true form would still not change!
The transformation spell was just a deceptive magic.
"Forget it, although the style is different from what I expected, the effect when worn is still quite good, so let's leave it at that! Thinking more is useless."
Su Qing patted her small face, retracting her messy thoughts.
She glanced at Yuer, and finally decided not to disturb her rest for now, letting her sleep a little longer.
Su Qing tiptoed to the door, and as soon as she pushed it open, she saw a familiar face.
"Sister Chang'e... you weren't waiting outside the whole time, were you?" Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly as she asked.
Chang'e nodded upon hearing this, then scrutinized her, and said with satisfaction:
"Hmm, not bad, as expected, my taste is impeccable, it suits you very well!"
Su Qing, who received the compliment, showed no great emotional change, merely smiling as she replied:
"Thank you... it's just that the clothes Sister Chang'e prepared are excellent."
Chang'e smiled and said 'Of course', then couldn't help but ask: "How is Yuer? Has she still not finished changing?"
Su Qing nodded, smiling helplessly:
"As you expected, she's asleep now. She's probably really too tired, isn't she? Sister Chang'e, perhaps you shouldn't always dump so much work on her?"
Upon hearing this, Chang'e merely smiled, then agreed, saying she would find a way to reduce her workload.
Chang'e had no intention of arguing or debating the fact that 'she had given a lot of work to Yuer', because it was the truth, and arguing was meaningless, so she readily agreed.
Seeing this, Su Qing said no more.
The other party had already agreed; saying more would be lecturing.
She was merely offering a suggestion.
Chang'e stroked her chin and said:
"Since she's asleep, let her rest a little longer. Anyway, there's still plenty of time, waiting a bit longer won't hurt, there's no rush."
"So, before we leave, you should play with me for a while! Just waiting is very boring."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing naturally didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
Chang'e smiled, pulled her to a seat...
Then took out some clear tea and fermented rice wine, as well as a chessboard.
Today, Chang'e was as talkative as ever, especially after a few drinks, she completely forgot herself...
Seeing this, Su Qing helplessly snatched her wine glass and poured her some tea.
Making her obediently play chess and drink tea with her...
To prevent her from getting drunk again.
After all, they still had to go to Mount Hua to see the Three Sacred Mother later!
Chang'e wasn't annoyed by having her wine glass snatched away, she just looked at Su Qing and gave a silly smile, saying:
"You girl, you have no respect for me, the Mistress of Guanghan Palace, at all now! You even dare to snatch my cup!"
Su Qing heard this, smiled faintly, and then said:
"Isn't this what you, Sister, are happy to see? Besides, if I don't keep an eye on you, the Lunar Deity will scold me too."
Chang'e pouted, blew away a few stray strands of hair dangling at the tip of her nose, and said:
"You absolutely must not learn from that Lunar Deity... If you become an old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud like her, I'll be sad."
"Alright, alright... I know." Su Qing replied perfunctorily.
Chang'e heard the perfunctory tone but didn't pay much attention, she just leaned her face on the table, watching Su Qing seriously ponder the chess game.
She couldn't help but smile slightly, deliberately leaving a few small flaws for her in the subsequent moves, giving her a few more chances to turn the tide.
Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, this game of chess had already lasted for over an hour.
And at this moment, Yuer finally woke up from her sleep.
She could have slept until the next day, but because she dreamed that she still had things unfinished, she was startled awake from her dream.
Yuer rubbed her eyes, vaguely remembering what she was supposed to do.
So she groggily changed into her dress and came into the great hall.
As soon as she entered the great hall, Yuer immediately saw the two people playing chess.
And similarly, Su Qing and Chang'e both immediately noticed Yuer who had woken up.
Yuer was dressed in a light pink chest-high ruqun, with a wide-sleeved gauze top over it. The gauze top was very thin, subtly revealing her fair arms and shoulders underneath.
This outfit, worn on her, perfectly matched her temperament...
It had a pure and lively feeling, especially combined with her long rabbit ears, it was extremely cute.
Seeing this, Su Qing did not hesitate to praise, saying: "This outfit suits you quite well, it looks very cute."
All the clothes were prepared by Chang'e, so naturally, there was no favoritism; they were all tailor-made.
Even if Su Qing wore the originally elegant and pure dress with a hint of sensuality, it still fit her well and looked beautiful.
Su Qing's praise made Yuer pause for a moment, her expression changed, then she pouted and said:
"Hmph, you actually praise others, that's really rare."
Su Qing smiled helplessly, her impression on Yuer seemed indeed quite strange.
"I'm just speaking the truth," she said, spreading her hands.
Yuer heard this, couldn't help but turn her face away, then walked to her master's side, stuck out her tongue at Su Qing, and made a face.
"Then you have good taste!" Yuer said.
Su Qing smiled, not caring, this little one was probably just embarrassed.
Chang'e saw Yuer by her side, she reached out and rubbed Yuer's head, then said:
"Alright, since Yuer is awake, let's go!"
Chang'e said, stretching lazily, ending the long chess game.
She didn't care about winning or losing the game; she had fun, and that was enough.
"By the way, you've worked hard these past few days," Chang'e said to Yuer.
Yuer heard this, shook her head, and said: "Actually... it's fine! If you, Master, would put in a little more effort, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
Chang'e's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this...
Really, she had no dignity left in the eyes of those around her.
Su Qing saw this, merely smiled, and did not interrupt.
The master and servant did not chat for too long, and soon ended their conversation.
Then Chang'e said to Su Qing: "Do you want to call Leng Xiang and the others?"
Chang'e knew Leng Xiang's origin.
Even if Su Qing hadn't told her, she could still tell.
After all, Leng Xiang had some traces... and marks left by her creator.
And since she knew Yang Chan, she could naturally recognize these.
That's why she felt that they could call Leng Xiang and the others to Mount Hua this time.
Upon hearing this, Su Qing naturally nodded.
Even if Chang'e hadn't said anything, she would still have brought them along on this trip.
However, Leng Xiang and the sparrows were easy to deal with, but for Gongsun Zhixue... there was really no good way.
After all, she hadn't transformed yet...
And Su Qing couldn't possibly carry her true form around.
Su Qing quickly returned to the courtyard and informed Leng Xiang of the matter.
Although Leng Xiang had always stayed at home, the Cold Fragrance Sword was still transformed into a hairpin and stayed by Su Qing's side.
Therefore, she had already anticipated this matter, and had long prepared herself mentally.
Leng Xiang's feelings for the Three Sacred Mother were somewhat complex.
On one hand, if not for the Three Sacred Mother, she would still be a lovely plum blossom demon, and wouldn't have spent a thousand years gathering dust in a warehouse.
On the other hand, if the Three Sacred Mother hadn't forged her into a sword, she wouldn't have met her master...
So it was naturally complex.
But some things always had to be faced...
So no matter what, she was still willing to go on this trip with Su Qing.
Unlike Leng Xiang's complex feelings, the little ones' moods were surprisingly good at this time.
After staying in the Moon Palace for so many years, the little ones had long grown tired of it...
Even every time Su Qing went to Mount Li to see the white snake, the little ones would not forget to follow along.
The reason was just to be able to leave the Moon Palace and wander around.
Su Qing smiled helplessly at the excited look of these little ones.
She shook her head slightly, then extended her hand towards Leng Xiang, and said: "Let's go!"
Leng Xiang saw this, nodded slightly, a smile on her face, and grasped Su Qing's hand.
In an instant, she also understood: what was there to care about the past? As long as she could always stay by her master's side, that was enough.
Su Qing brought Leng Xiang and the others to Chang'e, and Chang'e merely waved her hand.
Then she conjured a propitious cloud, carrying everyone towards Mount Hua.
At this moment, Chang'e once again shed her usual unreliable demeanor, transforming into the awe-inspiring Mistress of Guanghan Palace.
Su Qing had long witnessed such rapid changes in her state, so she was not surprised at all.
However, the little ones, who had never seen such a spectacle, were frightened this time, even telling Su Qing that the Chang'e before them was 'that fellow'... and they were extremely anxious.
The sparrows' astonished expressions made Su Qing slightly helpless and gave Yuer a good laugh.
After laughing enough.
She then explained the situation to the little ones.
The sparrows, learning the inside story, also reacted, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then quickly apologized to her.
Chang'e merely shook her head upon hearing this, not paying too much attention, just telling the noisy little ones to quiet down.
The sparrows were very obedient, all flying into Su Qing's embrace and becoming quiet.
During the subsequent flight, everyone was relatively quiet throughout...
No one brought up idle chat, which was a way of cooperating with Chang'e's performance in advance.
Since Chang'e wanted to present herself in a different light, Su Qing and the others naturally couldn't casually expose her.
Otherwise, all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
Although Chang'e's propitious cloud was not as fast as the Somersault Cloud, it was not slow either...
In a short while, everyone had already arrived within the borders of Mount Hua.
Mount Hua was truly majestic and magnificent, with exceptionally beautiful scenery.
However, Chang'e did not linger to admire the scenery... instead, she lowered the cloud and landed deep in the forest.
Passing through the dense trees, the scenery immediately opened up, revealing a towering palace.
The palace was surrounded by immortal ponds, with lotus flowers blooming in the water and fish swimming about.
This scene was truly like an immortal realm.
Seeing such a sight before her, Su Qing was slightly stunned.
She had thought that Yang Chan's residence would be like the Old Mother's, just an ordinary Daoist temple... with nothing special, at most a little larger.
But she never expected... it would be such a sight.
"This is Yang Chan's immortal's abode."
Chang'e said, turning to see the surprise in Su Qing's eyes, and continued:
"Don't be too surprised, this is an immortal's abode, not a temple worshipped by mortals outside... This appearance is actually quite modest already."
"Also, don't have too high expectations for this immortal gathering; it definitely can't compare to the Peaches of Immortality Banquet..."
"Today's immortal gathering is just Yang Chan inviting some immortals she knows to have a meal, chat, and casually exchange insights."
"So it's nothing too extraordinary."
