Su Qing stepped on her Somersault Cloud, bringing a few Little Sparrows with her.
In less than a few breaths, they arrived at Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Returning to Flower-Fruit Mountain once more.
Su Qing slowed down.
After a brief look at the changes in Flower-Fruit Mountain, she found that it was the same as before.
No changes had occurred.
No disasters had appeared.
It was still peaceful and serene, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
It was as if her feeling had been wrong.
But Su Qing didn't think her feelings and calculations could both be mistaken…
Her intuition was always very accurate, and with the addition of some calculations, it further confirmed her feelings.
So she didn't dare to relax easily.
Su Qing raised an eyebrow.
Then she pressed down her cloud and landed beside the Water Curtain Cave.
She told Leng Xiang and the Little Sparrows to return to the Water Curtain Cave first.
Hearing this, Leng Xiang shook her head slightly and said:
“I must stay by Master’s side… If an accident occurs, Master cannot be without a weapon.”
Su Qing looked at her, and after a long moment, nodded.
Leng Xiang was right about that.
As for the few Little Sparrows… they really couldn't help.
So when they said they wanted to follow along, Su Qing directly tossed them back into the Water Curtain Cave.
Then she went to the pond where Ao Ying lived.
She intended to ask Ao Ying about the situation.
Su Qing called out twice into the pond and quickly received a response.
Ao Ying had been recuperating in the pond all this time, so upon hearing Su Qing’s voice, she naturally came out immediately.
She leaped out of the pond, and upon seeing Su Qing, couldn't help but exclaim joyfully:
“Big Green Sister! You’re finally back. It’s been a year, and Ying has missed you terribly.”
Ao Ying had originally thought that after Su Qing left this time, she wouldn't return for at least a decade or more.
She hadn't expected her to return so quickly.
Naturally, she was happy about this.
“I’ve missed you too!”
Su Qing nodded slightly, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then asked:
“Oh right, Ao Ying, have any strange things happened recently?”
Ao Ying tilted her head, confused.
“Nothing has happened recently. But it might be because I’ve been staying in the pond all this time, so I don’t know much about the outside world.”
Ao Ying shook her head and said:
“Sister, did you sense something was about to happen when you returned this time?”
In this Jambudvipa World, those with great destiny.
Always have some kind of premonition about certain things in the unseen world.
And how could her sister, being so powerful and intelligent, not possess such an ability?
“Hmm, that’s why I came to ask you about the situation.”
Su Qing nodded slightly.
Ao Ying pondered upon hearing this.
After a long while, she said: “Nothing has happened on my end so far, except that my father sent my dowry half a year ago; there hasn’t been anything particularly special.”
“However, since Sister has a premonition, then something might truly be about to happen, so Sister shouldn’t leave in a hurry after returning.”
Su Qing nodded slightly; she also had this intention.
Since the matter hadn't happened yet, her return was still timely.
Although she would have to wait, it was better than being too late.
However, while pondering, Su Qing noticed another matter.
“Ao Ying, you said your father sent you a dowry half a year ago?”
Ao Ying nodded slightly upon hearing this, saying: “Yes, that’s right! Father probably really thinks we two will get married, right?”
“……”
Su Qing was a bit confused about what the East Sea Dragon King was up to.
Was this guy too deeply immersed in the act? Or did he want to see the act through completely?
Or was there some other reason?
She sighed slightly and said: “Your father truly makes one unable to understand…”
Ao Ying smiled and said: “Actually… why does Sister need to overthink it? Sometimes, the answer is on the surface; the deeper you dig, isn’t it just more confusing?”
“What you said makes a lot of sense…” Su Qing smiled helplessly and said.
She also realized that she seemed to have developed a bad habit.
Thinking this, Su Qing smiled slightly and couldn't help but ask:
“However… I’m a bit curious about your true feelings!”
“What is Sister referring to?”
“Naturally, the matter of marriage! Do you truly not mind marrying a woman?”
“Why should I mind? Sister is my benefactor, so what’s wrong with marrying Sister? In fact, I’m worried that Sister might mind such things!”
“Regarding that, I don’t mind at all. As long as there is genuine affection, nothing is a problem.”
Su Qing shook her head slightly and said.
After all, she had experienced various strange 'xps' from the internet.
In Su Qing’s eyes, as long as there was genuine affection.
Gender, race, or even life and death were not issues…
Therefore, she had no objection to marrying a woman.
As long as they genuinely liked each other and loved each other, it was fine.
In fact, one could even say… if it were a girl, it might be even better.
After all, there are no completely straight people.
“However…”
“However, Ao Ying, have you really considered it carefully? Are you marrying me because of genuine affection, or just to repay a kindness? Or is it because of your father’s recent actions?”
Su Qing looked straight at her and said:
“If it’s just to repay a kindness… then I definitely won’t accept it! Because in my eyes, this kind of emotion is far greater than gratitude!”
This was certainly not the first time Su Qing had said this.
Regarding the matter of offering oneself in marriage to repay a kindness… Su Qing had always held opposing views.
She had said the same thing to Bai Suzhen.
Perhaps, this was just a difference in perspective between different people!
Leng Xiang naturally heard Su Qing’s words…
For a moment, the last stone in her heart also fell.
This meant that as long as she worked hard… she could also succeed, right?
Leng Xiang’s motivation greatly increased.
Her advantage seemed even greater.
Ao Ying, upon hearing this, didn’t seem unhappy at all; instead, she had a smile on her face.
It seemed she was very fond of Su Qing’s words.
“I didn’t expect… Sister to value feelings so much!”
Su Qing looked at her, not knowing what she was thinking…
So, she was too lazy to think deeply.
“Naturally, emotions must be valued more, after all… a lifetime is very long!”
She said:
“Alright, I’m going back now! Since nothing has happened yet, I’ll go back to the Water Curtain Cave to rest first.”
Su Qing stretched, feeling that nothing would happen today.
So she prepared to go back and rest.
Just as she was about to turn and leave.
A strange wind suddenly arose.
This strange wind carried a strong, rank, fishy smell, and the demonic energy was quite potent, making both of them squint their eyes.
Su Qing frowned, formed a hand seal, and stopped the demonic wind.
At the same time, she was a bit speechless; just as she was about to go back and rest, trouble arrived.
It seems they all like to come at the most coincidental times, huh!
But Su Qing also secretly rejoiced that at least the troublemaker wasn't playing dirty.
Instead, they came openly!
This way, at least they would be easier to deal with.
Ao Ying coughed twice, clearly choked by the strange wind just now.
“What a strong, rank, fishy smell!”
Su Qing shook her head slightly and said:
“I wonder who’s coming to cause trouble. Let’s go, we’ll take a look.”
