The Body Outside Body Technique

Su Qing was slightly taken aback when she heard Bai Yuhe’s words.

Following the direction of Bai Yuhe’s finger, she saw a Buddhist statue that looked eighty percent like her.

The statue was very new, seemingly moved into the temple only recently.

Su Qing wasn't surprised by this, as she had only recently attained the status of a Bodhisattva.

What surprised her was that so soon after becoming a Bodhisattva, her statue had already appeared in the Donglin Temple of the Women's Kingdom.

Was she delighted?

In truth, Su Qing didn't feel much delight. Instead, she felt more speechless.

It would be one thing if it were elsewhere, but here in the Women's Kingdom, almost everyone knew her.

Feeling helpless, Su Qing said, "Didn't I escort someone on a journey to the West to fetch scriptures before? This Bodhisattva status was the reward the Buddha gave me."

Hearing this, Bai Yuhe blinked and asked, "Does that mean you've become a nun, Sister?"

"What is that girl thinking? There’s no way I’d become a nun. The Buddha just gave me a nominal Bodhisattva title... After all, I am still the Queen Consort of this Women's Kingdom!"

Su Qing flicked Bai Yuhe’s forehead and said with a smile:

"However, I am also a bit surprised... I thought that after giving me a nominal position, the Buddha wouldn't do anything extra. I didn't expect a statue of me to appear here in Donglin Temple. And the Incense Power is actually quite strong... even though my title has no fame to speak of."

Bai Yuhe rubbed her forehead. Although Su Qing hadn't used much force, it still made her puff out her cheeks.

However, she offered her own guess.

She said, "I bet everyone is worshiping you more because you are my Queen Consort."

"Oh? Who knows?" Su Qing shook her head slightly and said, "Why don't you go find someone to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuhe’s eyes flashed, and she immediately ran off to ask.

She didn't seem to notice that Su Qing was only joking.

Seeing her run off, Su Qing was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected the girl to be so direct.

This child, Bai Yuhe, really didn't have a shred of social anxiety, did she?

But then again, she was the Queen of a nation. If she had social anxiety, wouldn't she be trembling every time she held court?

Since Bai Yuhe had gone to ask, Su Qing didn't bother to stop her.

She simply looked up at the rows of Buddhist statues.

"Although it's strange to have a statue of myself here, the Incense Power is decent... and this Incense Power can indeed benefit me. Forget it, I won't bother arguing with the Buddha and the others... It was a kind gesture, after all. Besides, I truly do need a lot of Incense Power right now..."

Su Qing thought to herself:

"It seems that as long as the object of the people's worship is me, it provides Incense Power. It doesn't change because of a different title or a different appearance of the statue. Hmm, I can probably find more ways to collect faith in the future."

Ever since Su Qing learned that Incense Power could help her Bodhi Tree grow and make it easier for her to survive the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, she had become much more attentive to it.

While she was lost in thought, Bai Yuhe, who had gone to question the passersby, returned.

She giggled as she told Su Qing what she had found out.

The result was exactly as she had guessed.

She immediately wore an expression that said, 'See? I'm amazing.'

"As expected of the Queen, you're so clever~" Su Qing saw her 'waiting for praise' look and gave a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuhe’s smile deepened. It was clear that simple praise worked wonders on her.

Afterward, Bai Yuhe lit three sticks of incense before the Buddha and made a very casual wish.

Su Qing, however, had no intention of bowing to the Buddha or making any wishes.

After all, if she wanted to see the Buddha, she could just go see him directly. There was no need to burn incense here.

After Bai Yuhe finished her prayers, Su Qing strolled through Donglin Temple with her.

The architectural style of Donglin Temple was very elegant and ancient, exuding a thick atmosphere of Buddhism.

The two walked along the corridors, which were lined with long murals depicting various Buddhist stories and legends.

Su Qing wasn't interested in the stories, but she had to admit the artwork was excellent.

They passed through the corridors and headed toward the backyard. The backyard of Donglin Temple was filled with flowers and plants, and the air was thick with fragrance.

However, they hadn't come here to admire the flowers, but to see the pagodas behind the temple.

Most people who came here, besides praying and eating vegetarian meals, came primarily to see the pagodas.

Su Qing and her companion were no exception.

After finishing their tour of Donglin Temple, the two left the temple and prepared to browse the streets while heading to their next destination.

On the streets, people and carriages flowed like water. Pedestrians of all kinds wove through the crowd, and on both sides of the street, many vendors had set up sunshades and stalls... there were also peddlers carrying loads on shoulder poles.

Walking on such a busy street, they naturally couldn't move quickly.

Especially with Her Majesty the Queen by Su Qing's side, who constantly acted like a country girl who had just entered the city for the first time.

She showed intense interest in everything around her.

Su Qing didn't mind whether they reached the next spot quickly or not.

Today wasn't about visiting historical sites; it was simply about shopping to make Bai Yuhe happy.

Time flowed by.

The two had a wonderful time.

But happy times always pass the fastest.

In the blink of an eye, the sun that had been high overhead was now halfway down the mountains, leaving only a small sliver of itself visible.

Looking at the distant sunset, Bai Yuhe felt a bit melancholy.

"Time seems to pass so quickly... Before I knew it, it was already this late."

"Haven't played enough yet?" Su Qing asked with a smile, seeing her lingering look.

Bai Yuhe nodded naturally, grabbed Su Qing, and said, "Of course. When I'm with you, Sister, I can never play enough."

"However... we should head back, or someone will start worrying," Su Qing said with a graceful smile.

The person who would worry was, of course, the Prime Minister in the palace.

Even though she knew Bai Yuhe was out playing in the city with Su Qing, she would inevitably worry if they didn't return.

Bai Yuhe pouted and said, "I know we should go back, I'm just a bit reluctant. But forget it, since I have Sister's company tonight, going back is fine."

Hearing this, Su Qing's lips twitched slightly.

She knew exactly what this girl, Bai Yuhe, wanted to do.

However, Su Qing simply nodded and said, "Don't worry. If you haven't had enough fun, I'll accompany you for another day of shopping tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Then I must get a good rest tonight."

"That would be for the best," Su Qing agreed with a smile.

Having made their decision, they set off back to the palace.

They didn't take the main gate, as they could simply fly back.

Once they climbed back above the clouds, Bai Yuhe still insisted that Su Qing fly slowly, as if she wanted to see how the capital of the Women's Kingdom at dusk differed from the capital at dawn.

Su Qing naturally didn't refuse.

She accompanied the girl to watch the fading sun.

After a long time, once she had seen enough, Su Qing lowered the cloud and landed within the palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Bai Yuhe called a palace maid to inform the others of her return and ordered her to prepare hot water for a bath.

As the Queen, although she was restricted in many ways, she also had many conveniences.

Whatever she wanted to do, she could simply order her subordinates to handle it.

She pulled Su Qing and said with a smile, "We've been walking all day and worked up a sweat. Sister, come and wash with me! Or, I can help you wash."

Hearing this, Su Qing naturally picked up on the girl's 'ill intentions' and said, "You girl, you aren't planning to do something bad, are you?"

"What are you saying, Sister? We've already bowed to heaven and earth and married; how can it be called something bad? It should be called a very good thing," Bai Yuhe said seriously, shaking her head.

Although she had said she wanted to rest well tonight to prepare for tomorrow's outing, it didn't mean she would give up such a good opportunity to bond.

While having a child didn't require anything other than drinking a bowl of water from the Mother-Child River, just because she didn't need it for childbearing didn't mean she didn't need it for herself.

Some things were like Pandora's box; once opened, it was hard to stop.

"You girl," Su Qing smiled helplessly.

She didn't say much else.

After all, she didn't reject these things herself.

It was just that she had been doing it a lot lately and was a bit tired.

Bai Yuhe didn't feel embarrassed at all upon hearing Su Qing's words; she just made a face at her.

Before long, a palace maid came to inform Bai Yuhe that the water was hot.

Without hesitation, Bai Yuhe pulled Su Qing toward the palace bath.

Today's bath lasted a long time... and it was very fragrant.

One person had crimson cheeks yet still seemed to want more.

"Speaking of which, Sister is really something... You never take the initiative, but whenever I try to take charge, I always end up being suppressed by you. Do you just like playing the underdog?"

Bai Yuhe walked ahead of Su Qing, then turned around to look at her with dissatisfaction.

"What is that behavior called? Oh right, playing the underdog to catch the tiger?"

Su Qing felt a bit helpless at the girl's words. She rolled her eyes and said, "How am I playing the underdog? It's just that if I don't fight back, someone will get incredibly carried away."

"Hmph~ That's just the normal process! Also, Sister, you're definitely playing the underdog to catch the tiger!" Bai Yuhe said, "But... I don't hate it."

Su Qing: "..."

Something was definitely wrong with this girl.

"You girl," Su Qing smiled helplessly.

The two went to rest together.

That night, Su Qing wasn't as exhausted as usual; she simply had a good night's rest.

The next day, as promised, Su Qing took Bai Yuhe out for another day of fun in the city.

Today was even more enjoyable than yesterday.

They visited all the remaining places they hadn't seen yet.

Just like the day before, they played until dusk before returning to the palace, and after returning, they once again took a long, relaxing hot bath.

"Yuhe, I should head back tomorrow," Su Qing told Bai Yuhe.

She hadn't planned on staying here for very long.

She had other places to go.

For instance, she needed to find Chang'e to ask for a cloning technique.

Although she didn't know if Chang'e had such a technique, she might as well ask.

After all, Chang'e was the easiest person to talk to.

Hearing that Su Qing was leaving, Bai Yuhe was stunned for a moment. "Are you leaving so soon?"

Su Qing could see she was unhappy, but she could only avoid her gaze and nod. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

"I know you'll come back, Sister, but I'm still reluctant!" Bai Yuhe said softly. "After all, those days without you feel like years~"

Su Qing: "..."

"However, since Sister is leaving soon, you must spend some time playing with me tonight! Otherwise, I'll be terribly lonely while you're away! Doing it by myself is just too boring."

"..." Su Qing's lips twitched. She hadn't expected this Queen to speak so directly.

She had thought the girl would be more reserved—at least more reserved than Ao Ying in her speech.

But she turned out to be even more outspoken than Ao Ying.

But if she thought about it carefully, it wasn't that strange.

After all, there were no men in this entire country.

Naturally, one couldn't view this place through ordinary lenses.

"Since you've put it that way... I won't refuse. Just as long as you don't surrender halfway through!" Seeing Bai Yuhe being so blunt, Su Qing didn't beat around the bush and spoke with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, a hint of crimson appeared on Bai Yuhe’s face. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Sister, just you wait and see."

"Alright!" Su Qing nodded with a smile.

Then she brought up another matter:

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you these past two days—have you been keeping up with your cultivation lately?"

Bai Yuhe was still thinking about blood-pumping matters when Su Qing's change of topic cooled her down slightly.

She shook her head helplessly and said, "Cultivation is really not easy. Even with your pills, Sister, I've only just barely started. Besides, you know as well as I do that I don't have much time to cultivate."

"After all, I have to manage the entire Women's Kingdom. Just looking at the memorials every day gives me a headache."

Bai Yuhe was somewhat helpless regarding cultivation.

Although she was indeed a bit lazy with it, she really did have a lot of daily responsibilities.

It only seemed like she was free because Su Qing had been here for these two days.

In reality, after Su Qing left, she would still have to process the pile of memorials that had accumulated.

Su Qing nodded and said, "Actually, you don't need to do everything yourself. You can leave the unimportant matters to others. As for cultivation, just do your best... if it really doesn't work out, I'll find another way."

Su Qing wanted Bai Yuhe to cultivate because she hoped she could live a few more years.

At the very least, she wanted her to survive the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.

She wanted to be able to bring her through the tribulation herself.

She didn't want to have to search for her next life.

To be honest, Su Qing didn't like the idea of a next life; she always cared about the present one.

So, she naturally didn't want Bai Yuhe to reincarnate again.

If she could cultivate, then she should do so properly to ensure a longer life.

Bai Yuhe also understood Su Qing's thoughts, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely work hard at cultivation. As for your suggestion, I'll listen! After all, it's a suggestion from my Queen Consort!"

Seeing her say this, Su Qing felt somewhat relieved. She rubbed her damp face and said, "That's good."

"But now, there's something even better we need to do!"

"What is it?" Su Qing asked.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she found herself unable to speak, for her lips had been blocked, and someone was greedily exploring within.

The two became entangled once more, the water rippling in waves.

Who knows how much time passed.

The water began to grow cold.

The two left the bath, changed their clothes, and prepared to move the battlefield.

That night, the passion was intense.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Su Qing stretched her limbs, changed into clean clothes, and walked into the morning light, stretching again.

The greedy Queen of the Women's Kingdom had not yet woken up.

She was, after all, new to cultivation; after a whole night, she was exhausted and was currently fast asleep!

Su Qing didn't wake her. Letting her sleep a bit longer after an exhausting night was fine.

How could memorials be more important than her health?

"However, I should be going... It looks like I won't be able to wait for her to wake up. She went to bed so late last night, she probably won't be up until lunch." Su Qing turned to look at Bai Yuhe’s rather peculiar sleeping posture and shook her head with a smile.

Then she muttered to herself, "Hmm, I'll leave some cultivation resources for her. She doesn't have much time to cultivate, so she'll have to rely on resources to push her progress. Besides, this palace isn't a cultivation site like the Changbai Mountains; training here is much more difficult."

Su Qing wasn't stingy with her resources.

She had many things she couldn't use up herself, and she had no one else to train.

Now that Bai Yuhe could use them, she didn't mind taking out a bit more.

After leaving the items behind,

Su Qing walked to Bai Yuhe’s side and helped her pull up the blanket she had kicked off.

Then she kissed her on the cheek and said, "Rest well... I'm leaving."

Su Qing left the room.

She performed a hand seal and departed on her Somersault Cloud.

Shortly after Su Qing left,

Bai Yuhe, who had been sleeping, slowly opened her eyes.

She muttered to herself, "A kiss on the cheek is so boring."

Su Qing left the Women's Kingdom and headed straight for the Moon Palace on her Somersault Cloud.

Actually, in Su Qing's original plan,

Her goal was to find Yuer first.

But after some thought,

She decided to secure the technique first before going to play with Yuer.

After all, Yuer surely wasn't bored lately.

The Somersault Cloud was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the gates of the Moon Palace.

The two female generals guarding the gates were still the same as before.

Seeing Su Qing arrive, they stepped aside without a word.

Su Qing was a regular at the Moon Palace; who would stop her?

She entered the Moon Palace unobstructed, passed through the familiar corridors, and finally walked to the door of Chang'e's study.

Chang'e could be anywhere on a normal day, but with Yuer away, the most likely place to find her was the study.

Su Qing knocked on the door.

Chang'e's voice immediately came from inside.

"It must be Xiao Qing, right? Come in."

Chang'e clearly already knew Su Qing had arrived, so she wasn't surprised at all.

Su Qing pushed the door open to find Chang'e lying on the floor of the study, her clothes in disarray. Around her were scattered books and documents in a mess.

If one didn't know better, they might think she had been attacked!

But Su Qing knew very well...

This woman had simply gotten drunk and rolled around on the floor.

After all, the smell of alcohol filling the room was impossible to hide.

"Sister Chang'e, how much did you drink? No wonder your voice sounded a bit weak when you told me to come in! It turns out you're drunk?" Su Qing looked at Chang'e lying on the floor with a flushed face and a dazed expression, feeling utterly speechless. She said, "Are you actually processing documents properly like this?"

Hearing Su Qing's complaint, Chang'e slowly sat up and said with a look of disdain, "Of course I'm processing them properly! I just got tired from working, so I took a little break! Besides, I didn't drink that much, just a little bit. I've worked hard for half a month; can't I enjoy myself a little?"

As she spoke, Chang'e pouted dissatisfiedly, showing a bit of a childish demeanor.

When this woman was drunk, she could do all sorts of strange things.

Seeing her act like this, Su Qing wasn't surprised at all.

She was just a bit helpless. She didn't know if Chang'e, in this state, would be able to answer her questions properly later.

"It seems I didn't pick a good time to come..." Su Qing shook her head helplessly and said, "Speaking of which, Sister Chang'e, didn't you dump most of your work on Yuer in the mortal world? You shouldn't have much to handle at all!"

Upon hearing this, Chang'e scrambled up from the floor and walked over to Su Qing, saying, "Xiao Qing, you're underestimating me. How could I possibly leave only a little bit of work?"

Su Qing: "..."

Please don't feel proud of something like that! Hey!

Su Qing was about to complain, but Chang'e continued, "Besides, you actually came at a perfect time. I was just feeling a bit bored drinking alone! Since you're here, drink with me."

"... (¬_¬)ﾉ" Su Qing helplessly patted Chang'e's shoulder and said, "Sister Chang'e, you're still drinking? Aren't you afraid the Lunar Deity will come and hang you up for a lesson?"

Hearing Su Qing mention the Lunar Deity, Chang'e just pouted and said with disdain, "Xiao Qing, I'm the mistress of the Moon Palace! How could the Lunar Deity possibly lecture me? Besides, she isn't in the Moon Palace right now. I don't believe she'd specifically rush back just to scold me."

"The point is that she's not in the Moon Palace..." Su Qing was speechless. No wonder this woman dared to drink so recklessly; it turned out the Lunar Deity who kept her in check was away.

However, Su Qing was also curious—what was the Lunar Deity busy with?

Was she also working hard for the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth?

Probably so.

While Su Qing was pondering, Chang'e grabbed her hand and said, "Alright, don't mention the Lunar Deity. Let's go! Let's go drink. Also, you definitely came to see me for something, right? Since you have business, you have to keep me company. If you don't, I won't help you. Hic..."

Chang'e let out a drunken burp after speaking, leaving Su Qing feeling extremely helpless.

However, she didn't refuse Chang'e, as she was also someone who enjoyed drinking.

Of course, she had never been as useless as Chang'e...

This woman was both a lightweight and a heavy drinker.

As for whether she would remember what she said after drinking...

That remained to be seen.

It wouldn't matter if she forgot.

At worst, she would just ask again once she sobered up.

Regardless, visiting Chang'e was relatively easy for her.

"Fine, fine, fine, let's go!" Su Qing said helplessly. "Let's go drink in the pavilion in the Moon Palace garden. The scenery is better there. If you keep drinking here, I'm afraid you'll ruin these documents."

Chang'e: "..."

"You don't trust me at all!"

"Do you look trustworthy?"

"..."

Chang'e was speechless; even while drunk, she felt speechless. But she was too lazy to argue with Su Qing.

She just grumbled and pulled Su Qing to the garden pavilion to drink.

For her, nothing was more important than happiness; everything else could wait.

The two soon arrived at the pavilion.

Chang'e brought out her long-treasured wine.

Well, she called it 'treasured,' but it was actually just fine wine she had snuck from the Heavenly Court behind the Lunar Deity's back.

After filling the cups, Chang'e didn't speak at first, but downed a cup before saying, "Hic~ Delicious. Xiao Qing, what exactly did you come to see me for this time? Just say it!"

Su Qing nodded and brought out some pastries; drinking on an empty stomach was a bit dull.

She said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you for a Body Outside Body Technique, Sister Chang'e."

"A Body Outside Body Technique?" Chang'e was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Don't you already know how to do that?"

Su Qing shook her head and said, "If it were just an ordinary cloning method, I would know it, but the one I need is different..."

Many people knew cloning techniques...

But those techniques definitely wouldn't reach the level Su Qing required.

Su Qing explained her specific requirements.

Although Chang'e was drunk, she wasn't completely incapable of understanding.

She nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Isn't that the Body Outside Body Technique? Hic... That kind of technique is indeed hard to find. But why do you want it?"

Su Qing naturally didn't intend to hide it from her.

But just as she was about to speak,

Chang'e suddenly had a look of realization.

She set down her cup, clapped her hands, then leaned over the table, bringing her flushed, beautiful face close, and said, "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts, Xiao Qing!"

Su Qing was stunned, having no idea what this woman was thinking. She pushed the other's face away and said, "What thoughts? What exactly did you think of?"

Chang'e sat back in her seat, crossed her arms, and swayed her body, saying, "I understand, I understand. It's indeed hard for one person to satisfy three people, let alone more than three. You must be exhausted. That's why you want to learn a Body Outside Body Technique, so you can better satisfy them all."

Su Qing: "..."

She exhaled a breath of turbid air helplessly, reached out, and pinched Chang'e's burning cheek, saying, "Sister Chang'e, what kind of strange trash is filling your head? I want to learn the Body Outside Body Technique, but not for such a boring reason! Besides, who says I can't satisfy everyone on my own? Don't underestimate me."

Chang'e wasn't angry that Su Qing pinched her face; their relationship had long since reached a point where they didn't need to care about such things...

She just looked at Su Qing with a bit of surprise and said with a giggle, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so confident, Xiao Qing~ Ah, do you want to satisfy Sister Chang'e too?"

Su Qing pouted and said, "Sister Chang'e, you really start trying to seduce me the moment you get drunk. Speaking of which, were you the one who spread the rumors about me liking women?"

Upon hearing this, Chang'e took a sip of wine with a giggle and gave Su Qing a mysterious wink, saying, "Guess~"

"I'm not guessing." Su Qing shook her head, refusing to fall into Chang'e's trap.

Hearing this, Chang'e pouted and grumbled, "Fine, don't guess then. I don't care! So, what is the reason you want to learn the Body Outside Body Technique?"

Su Qing leaned back in her chair, took a sip of wine to moisten her throat, and then told Chang'e her reason for wanting to learn the technique.

To put it simply, she wanted to be in two places at once, but since she was unable to split herself, she wanted to learn a Body Outside Body Technique so she could accompany her family while also going out to collect faith.

Hearing this, Chang'e was stunned for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "I was wondering why you wanted to learn this technique! It turns out it's for such a reason? What a boring reason."

Su Qing pouted and said, "It's not boring; it's quite important to me. After all, collecting faith is very significant for my future development."

"I know that, of course... but I'm impressed you came up with such a method. You're quite clever," Chang'e said with a smile.

"Hmph, I have to find a way, don't I?" Su Qing looked at Chang'e's flushed face and said, "Sister Chang'e, your speech has steadied quite a bit. It seems your drunkenness has faded?"

Chang'e said, "I just circulated my magic power to suppress the alcohol~ After all, teasing you is fun."

Su Qing pouted, speechless. She said, "Hmph, you're still as wicked as ever, Sister Chang'e! So, Sister Chang'e, do you know the Body Outside Body Technique? Can you teach me?"

Chang'e picked up her cup and shook her head, saying, "I don't know any Body Outside Body Technique. I only know that such a technique exists. I've never learned it..."

Chang'e had no use for such a technique, so she naturally hadn't learned it.

"Alright, it seems I'll have to ask other seniors," Su Qing shook her head helplessly and said, "By the way, will my method work? It won't affect the Incense Power, will it?"

Although Su Qing already had an answer in her heart, she still wanted to confirm it with someone.

After all, her own guess wasn't enough; she needed someone to verify it for her.

Otherwise, if her guess was wrong, a long period of effort would be wasted.

"Your idea will definitely work!" Chang'e nodded with a smile. "As long as the person the people are offering sacrifices to and worshiping is you."

"That's good." Having received Chang'e's confirmation, Su Qing felt much more at ease.

This way, she could boldly carry out her plan.

Then, Su Qing looked at the much-sobered Chang'e and said, "By the way, Sister Chang'e, do you know anyone who might know these techniques?"

Chang'e pondered for a good while. To be honest, her mind still wasn't particularly clear.

Although she had used magic power to suppress the alcohol, these wines were all top-quality brews from the Heavenly Court, which were naturally very intoxicating.

Furthermore, she had only suppressed the alcohol after she was already drunk.

Naturally, the suppression wasn't perfect.

So her thoughts were still a bit slow.

Fortunately, she managed to recall two people who likely knew the technique.

She nodded and said, "You can go ask Taishang Laojun. That old fellow knows many things. Even if he doesn't know it, he can help you ask the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the others. Hmm, if you don't want to find Laojun, you can also go ask the Buddha..."

The two candidates Chang'e provided were both super-senior figures in the cultivation world, so there was bound to be someone among them who knew the technique.

Receiving this answer, Su Qing nodded and said, "Hmm, then I'll go ask Senior Laojun later!"

Chang'e gave a mischievous laugh and said, "Alright, but before that, you have to drink with me properly~ After all, you promised me. Now that I've answered your question, you should fulfill your part of the agreement! Come, come, let me pour you two cups!"

Chang'e still couldn't forget about drinking...

In fact, the reason she had suppressed her drunkenness to answer Su Qing's question was to get Su Qing to set aside her business so she could focus on drinking with her.

Su Qing's lips twitched.

Well, this was still the Sister Chang'e she knew.

Regardless, the drinking definitely wouldn't stop.

But Su Qing didn't refuse.

She might as well drink her fill with her.

Besides, Sister Chang'e's wine really did taste excellent...

Drinking more of it wasn't a loss.

The only headache was that Chang'e liked to talk nonsense when drunk; hearing too much of it made her ears hurt.

And of course, another thing was that this woman liked to get touchy-feely when drunk.

She didn't act like a Palace Mistress at all.

Although Su Qing was complaining about Chang'e in her heart, she still accompanied her for this drinking session.

And just as she had expected, once she stopped suppressing the alcohol, Chang'e soon became drunk again...

She started talking nonsense again.

Su Qing even felt that if she weren't there to restrain her, this woman might even start acting out her drunkenness!

The two drank for a long time.

Until Chang'e finally passed out drunk.

Only then did Su Qing prepare to leave the Moon Palace to find Laojun for the Body Outside Body Technique.

But before leaving the Moon Palace, Su Qing naturally had one more thing to do.

That was to get this heavy woman into her room first.

After all, she couldn't just leave her in the pavilion!

It took Su Qing some effort to transport Chang'e back to her room...

Since the woman was restless even in her sleep, carrying her was quite a chore.

But fortunately, she finally got her into the room.

Looking at the sleeping Chang'e, Su Qing sighed helplessly and said, "Sister Chang'e is still as terrifying as ever when she's drunk... but she's also quite interesting~ By the way, should I take the chance to do something? After all, she really put me through a lot just now!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Qing picked up a brush from the desk.

Then she painted a 'big flower face' on her face.

She took fierce revenge for the headache the woman had given her earlier.

After finishing, Su Qing felt much more refreshed.

She put the brush back, stretched, and left the room... departing on her Somersault Cloud to find Laojun for the Body Outside Body Technique.

Thus, Su Qing left the Moon Palace.

A while after Su Qing left the Moon Palace,

A beautiful mature woman appeared beside Chang'e...

Looking at the 'flower face' on Chang'e, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"This girl's way of taking revenge is just like a child's. But this is good; this brat Chang'e truly needs a friend like her." The Lunar Deity shook her head helplessly, then patted Chang'e's face.

Unfortunately, Chang'e was sleeping too soundly and didn't wake up immediately.

In the end, the Lunar Deity had to use a bit of magic to help her sober up.

After the Lunar Deity used her magic, the sleeping Chang'e suddenly felt a chill down her spine and sat up with a start, as if she had just had a terrifying nightmare.

But just as she was about to feel relieved that it was only a nightmare...

She happened to see the Lunar Deity standing by her bed, looking at her with a smile.

Well, the nightmare had become reality.

"Lunar Deity, when did you return?" Chang'e asked with a start.

The Lunar Deity said with a smile, "I returned while you were dragging Xiao Qing to drink."

"Then..."

"I wanted to watch the show."

"..."
