Upon hearing the unfamiliar sound, the kingfisher's small eyes widened in disbelief as it stared at the two-legged creature before it.

"Can you understand me?" Yang Ping'an held the kingfisher, conveying his thoughts.

The kingfisher stood in the increasingly hot palm, looked at Yang Ping'an's massive body, and hesitated before nodding its head.

"Very good. You just need to fly along this route and deliver this letter to this person to complete the mission." As Yang Ping'an spoke, he projected the route from here to Shenhuo Mountain Manor into the soul of the kingfisher, which appeared as the image of Dongfang Huaizhu.

The kingfisher shook its head blankly. A path appeared before its eyes, and no matter how much it shook its head, the path would change with its movement.

"This Spirit Awakening Pill will be your reward once the deed is done." Yang Ping'an tied a piece of paper to the kingfisher's left foot and took out a white pill to let the kingfisher see the reward he was offering in advance.

"Chirp chirp! (I want it!)"

"Of course, I never lie. As long as you deliver this letter to her, this elixir will be yours." Yang Ping'an smiled, knowing that the little kingfisher was interested.

"Chirp chirp chirp! (You keep your word!)"

"Okay, don't worry! I mean what I say," Yang Ping'an assured him again.

"Chirp chirp! (I'm going!)" The kingfisher glanced reluctantly at the elixir in Yang Ping'an's hand, then flapped its wings and flew towards Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

Yang Ping'an watched the kingfisher fly away with a smile, using his divine sense to keep a close eye on its flight path and help it avoid any potential dangers along the way.

The kingfisher flew with all its might towards Shenhuo Mountain Manor; this was perhaps the most desperate flight it had ever taken since birth, its instincts unable to resist the allure of the Qi-Enhancing Pill. The distance between Huai River Bamboo Pavilion and Dongfang Huaizhu's courtyard was not far, less than five li as the crow flies. Soon, the kingfisher landed on a tree in front of Dongfang Huaizhu's window.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp chirp!" The kingfisher chirped crisply, trying to attract Dongfang Huaizhu's attention.

Just as dawn broke, the Dongfang sisters finished breakfast, and Dongfang Huaizhu was taking a walk in the courtyard with Dongfang Qinlan.

"Sister, there's a kingfisher here." Dongfang Qinlan's bright eyes immediately spotted the kingfisher on the branch.

"Slow down, you just ate breakfast, don't do strenuous exercise." Dongfang Huaizhu helplessly pulled Dongfang Qinlan.

"Chirp chirp!" The kingfisher recognized Dongfang Huaizhu, jumped onto Dongfang Qinlan's hair, and tilted its head to examine the female two-legged creature in front of it.

"Huh?" Dongfang Qinlan raised her head slightly, trying to turn her eyes to see the kingfisher above her head.

"Hmm? There's a letter on its leg!" Dongfang Qinlan suddenly grabbed the kingfisher from above. She saw the paper tied to the kingfisher's leg and exclaimed in surprise.

"Chirp chirp!" the kingfisher cried out in alarm.

Dongfang Huaizhu looked thoughtfully at the rolled-up paper in Qin Lan's hand.

"Isn't this just a blank sheet of paper?" Dongfang Qinlan released the kingfisher, unfolded the paper, and saw that it was blank.

"Let me take a look." Dongfang Huaizhu took the paper from Dongfang Qinlan and examined it carefully. It was indeed a blank sheet of paper.

"Phew!" Just as Dongfang Huaizhu was about to throw the paper into the wastebasket with slight disappointment, the ordinary paper underwent a magical change.

"Oh! Sister, look!" Dongfang Qinlan exclaimed in surprise to Dongfang Huaizhu.

The blank paper spontaneously combusted without fire, and golden flames soared into the sky, splashing ink in front of Dongfang Huaizhu to create a lifelike picture of a bamboo pavilion on the Huai River.

Dongfang Huaizhu sensed the familiar magical power, and her smile was more radiant than any distance.

"Chirp chirp!" The kingfisher escaped from Dongfang Qinlan's clutches and flew to Dongfang Huaizhu, fluttering its small wings.

Dongfang Huaizhu received Yang Ping'an's signal and knew that he was waiting for her in the Huaishui Bamboo Pavilion outside Shenhuoshan Manor.

"Sister, wait for me, I want to go too!" Dongfang Qinlan saw her sister leave the courtyard and immediately chased after her. How could she let her sister leave her behind and run away alone?

The disciples of Shenhuo Mountain Manor witnessed this strange combination of two people and a bird: the eldest and second young ladies chasing a kingfisher away from the manor. Naturally, someone reported this scene to Dongfang Guyue. Dongfang Guyue roughly guessed that it was that brat's doing and told the disciples of Shenhuo Mountain Manor to continue as usual and not to disturb Dongfang Huaizhu and the others.

At the bamboo pavilion on the Huai River, Yang Ping'an stood on the bamboo dock, enjoying the moist autumn breeze carrying the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

Yang Ping'an's robes fluttered, and his hair danced in the breeze, exuding a unique aura like a banished immortal who had transcended the world.

When Dongfang Huaizhu arrived at the Huai River, she saw Yang Ping'an standing there in a daze, like a lonely moon in the sky.

Yang Ping'an sensed Dongfang Qinlan's arrival, turned around, and looked in Dongfang Huaizhu's direction with a warm smile.

A single glance felt like an eternity; Dongfang Huaizhu's heart pounded fiercely, her eyes filled only with her lover, whose clothes fluttered in the breeze.

"Brother-in-law! I'm here!" Dongfang Qinlan's excited voice broke the tranquility of the Huai River, which began to flow again, and the breeze once more rustled the bamboo tips.

"You're here." Yang Ping'an greeted Dongfang Huaizhu with a smile, reached out and patted Dongfang Qinlan's head, praising, "Qinlan has grown taller in just a few days."

"Hehe, right? I also feel like I've grown taller, I can almost reach my sister's shoulder now!" Dongfang Qinlan squinted her big eyes happily and said excitedly.

"Long time no see," Dongfang Huaizhu said softly with a gentle smile on her face.

Yang Ping'an gazed quietly at the beauty before him, his eyes overflowing with affection. Dongfang Huaizhu blushed under Yang Ping'an's intense gaze, yet she remained fixed on him, meeting his eyes without wavering.

"Sister, brother-in-law, stop showing off your love in front of me!" Dongfang Qinlan stood blankly between Yang Ping'an and his sister for a while, feeling a bit bloated from breakfast, and interrupted their eye contact with her words, ruining the mood.

"Brother Yang, what brings you here?" Dongfang Huaizhu's cheeks were flushed. Although they had already confirmed their relationship, she was still a little shy at being brought up by her younger sister.

"Because I miss you," Yang Ping'an said earnestly. Having lived in another world for more than ten years, he truly missed Dongfang Huaizhu.

"I miss Brother Yang too," Dongfang Huaizhu said shyly, lowering her head.

Dongfang Qinlan rolled her eyes, feeling her stomach even fuller.

"Of course, I miss Xiao Qinlan too." Yang Ping'an knew when to stop, and chuckled as he patted Dongfang Qinlan's little head.

"Did my brother-in-law bring gifts for me and my sister?" Dongfang Qinlan's eyes darted around as she mischievously asked for gifts.

"Qin Lan! Be polite." Dongfang Huaizhu glared at Dongfang Qin Lan, wanting her to be more reserved.

"It's alright. What kind of gift would Qin Lan like?" Yang Ping'an asked with a smile.

"Hmm?" Dongfang Qinlan racked her brains, trying to think of what kind of gift would be appropriate.

"Brother-in-law, cook another big meal!" Dongfang Qinlan had a sudden inspiration, raised her little hand and shouted loudly, her mouth watering.
