You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

Xia Zhiming looked at the little girl, thought for a moment, and then turned back into his human form and picked her up, letting her curl up quietly in his arms. But the girl looked up at him and asked:

"Zhiming, aren't you practicing today?"

"Be good, close your eyes."

"Ah."

Unlike the immortals that many people imagine, the immortals in this world also need to sleep, even when they are in seclusion. In every aspect, they live more like humans than humans.

……

……

……

That night, Xia Zhiming did not wait for Taishang Laojun to come, and it was rare that he did not fall into a dream. He just quietly watched over the little girl.

But if you ask whether he had any opinions about Taishang Laojun that night, the answer is definitely yes, and they were not small.

He guessed that the Jade Emperor was working so hard to open the furnace, he must be refining something good, but he felt sorry for the little girl, she had never suffered such an injustice in her life...

The next day, at dawn——

When Zhang Daoling arrived at the Tushita Palace, he saw that Taishang Laojun was still sitting in front of the alchemy furnace with his eyes closed, and the two little children had fallen asleep beside him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Daoling didn't bother her. He went straight to the second floor, opened the door, and found Xiao Qingxin. However, he didn't see Xia Zhiming, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where's the White Snake?"

Xiao Qingxin folded her arms and answered obediently, "Zhiming is sleeping."

Zhang Daoling looked at the motionless little girl in his arms, thought for a moment, and then stopped asking questions. He smiled and said, "Your mansion is already built. Come with me."

After saying that, Zhang Tianshi led Xiao Qingxin out of the Tushita Palace and pointed towards the newly built official residence next door, only to see—

In a wealthy house with red walls and red tiles, there is a plaque hanging on the wall, which reads - The Palace of the Guardian Spirit of Lihentian.

There are silver-armored heavenly soldiers guarding the door, and fairy girls in fairy clothes and strong men in yellow clothes standing inside the door.

After Zhang Daoling brought the little girl into the official residence and summoned the heavenly soldiers, fairies, and strong men to meet them, he smiled and said to Qingxin: "This Lingguan Mansion will be your home from now on."

Xiao Qingxin nodded, followed the Heavenly Master to find the main seat of the mansion, and then shook her head and said, "My home is not here."

Zhang Tianshi said no more, but just told the fairies and strong men to take good care of the people, then turned and left.

After the Taoist priest left, Xiao Qingxin folded her arms and sat on the main seat without moving.

Seeing this, the subordinates were all timid and dared not speak, until a clever fairy spoke up, "Master Lingguan, is there anything you need?"

Qingxin tilted her head: "Can I sleep here?"

The fairy was startled for a moment, then turned around and led the way, saying, "Sir, please follow me..."

Qingxin nodded, then stood up carefully and followed.

……

Meanwhile, another year has passed in this world.

Bodhi Square Inch Mountain, Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave

Patriarch Bodhi walked out of Sanxing Cave with Qingyun, holding a whisk in his hand.

Outside the cave, the disciples were playing around when they saw their master leave. After a moment of surprise, they all bowed and asked:

"Master, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the Heavenly Palace."

"Master, can you take us to see Junior Sister and Zhiming?"

"Master, please take them back!"

……

Chapter 66: Forty-nine Days

Lihentian——

Although there is day and night in heaven, one cannot see the sun or the moon, nor can one tell the time.

Xia Zhiming didn't sleep for long. At least when he crawled out of the girl's arms, it was not dark and he could see the girl's peaceful sleeping face.

On the jade bed, Xiao Qingxin, who was resting with her eyes closed, noticed the white snake's movements, quickly opened her eyes, reached out her hand, held Xia Zhiming in her hand, and sat up.

"Zhiming, should we go to Tushita Palace?"

"Let's go and take a look. We don't have much to do with this empty position anyway."

“But I don’t really want to go.”

"The Supreme Lord is probably refining something good for you, and he's too distracted right now. Girl, don't blame him."

"Is that so?"

"Silly girl."

Xia Zhiming knew the little girl's thoughts and her grievances, and he listed the fairy children he knew -

The blue clouds and blue hearts around Bodhi Patriarch,

The golden boy and the silver boy beside Taishang Laojun,

The breeze and bright moon around Zhenyuan Daxian,

Boy, you were all raised by the immortals since childhood. You are the apple of your eye. But you were stood up on your first day in heaven. You must be unhappy.

Xia Zhiming said a few good words in favor of Taishang Laojun, and Qingxin naturally hung him around her neck obediently before pushing the door open and walking out of the bedroom.

Noticing her appearance, the two fairies waiting outside the door bowed to her, left one to clean the bedroom, and another fairy followed Qingxin quietly.

Xia Zhiming was immediately amused when he saw this situation.

The last time he went to the Dragon Palace, he was only focused on watching the monkeys and didn't pay attention to the two dragon maidens serving there. But this time he did notice - these fairies really possessed evil that his little girl couldn't even begin to compare to!

They met many fairies along the way, but Xiao Qing didn't care. She just took the white snake out of the mansion and turned a corner to come to the Tushita Palace.

As soon as they entered the door, the man and the snake were stunned at the door. They saw two old Taoist priests with white hair and beards, holding whisks in their hands, sitting quietly with their eyes closed and concentrating beside the alchemy furnace.

One is Taishang Laojun, and he is guarded by Jintong and Yintong.

One is Bodhi Patriarch, and beside him are Qingyun,

And the little Qingxin running over!

Of course, there is also Xia Zhiming on the girl’s shoulder.

……

Seeing this scene, although Xia Zhiming was puzzled, he did not dare to speak. He could only lie on the girl's shoulder and watch the Six Ding Divine Fire dancing in the furnace.

The waiting time was not long. After about half an hour, Patriarch Bodhi opened his eyes, chuckled, and stood up.

Beside him, Qingyun, Qingxin, and Xia Zhiming all looked at their master at the same time, only to find that the master had simply flicked his whisk. Then they heard the master softly call out, "Qingxin, Zhiming."

"Master, I'm here."

"Master, I'm here."

Patriarch Bodhi didn't say much, but led the two people and the snake out of Tushita Palace. Then he smiled at Qingxin and said, "Tong'er, remember to eat more of the golden pill in the future."

"?"

The little girl tilted her head in confusion.

Xia Zhiming understood. He thought his master must have seen through the secret of what Taishang Laojun was refining this time, otherwise he would not have changed his mind.

At this time, Patriarch Bodhi said no more, but just told the two to wait for another forty-seven days, and then turned around and left with Qingyun.

Outside the Lingguan Mansion, a man and a snake watched the figures of the Grandmaster and Qingyun disappear in silence. Xiao Qingxin suddenly asked with some trepidation:

"Zhiming, do you think Master has sold me out?"

"Silly girl, how much is the golden elixir worth?"

"Then why did Master ask us to go to heaven?"

"Let Taishang Laojun help you digest it."

"I'm not hiccuping anymore!"

"Qingxin, you are so cute."

"Humph~"

Qingxin puffed up her face and snorted.

Xia Zhiming couldn't help but poke the girl's shoulder with his tail. Only this silly girl would believe in selling herself to pay off debts.

Harmonize the dragon and the tiger, match Kan and Li, gather the three flowers, face the five energies, and finally form the golden elixir, also known as the Nine-Turn Great Returning Elixir.

When practicing inner alchemy, as long as one can make a golden elixir, one will stand at the end of the earthly immortal. When the work is completed, one can achieve the right result and become a celestial immortal. But this girl directly ate a thousand of them.

Although I don’t know how the saint refined the elixir, this silly girl has already eaten it, so naturally I can only ask Taishang Laojun to help her digest it, otherwise why would the ancestor let her go to heaven.

Xia Zhiming poked the girl's cheek, but Xiao Qingxin beside him suddenly had an idea:

"Zhiming, didn't Master just tell us to wait another forty-seven days?"

"Correct."

"Can I take you out to play?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Hehe, of course it's the Qingxin Patriarch who has descended to the mortal world!"

"No, this is called Tang Monk's flesh descending to the mortal world."

Xiao Qingxin was a little confused, and tilted her head and asked, "Zhiming, what does Tang Monk's meat mean?"

"A bite of this meat will make you immortal."

"Zhiming, you want to bite me, but can you be gentler?"

“Mmm, it smells good!”

"Zhiming, it itches."

The man and the snake chatted casually, but left the Lingguan Mansion behind them and followed the master and Qingyun who had disappeared in the distance, walking towards the South Heavenly Gate. Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming did not say a word to stop her.

South Gate of Heaven——

Looking at Qing Xin, who was still wearing her Taoist robes, and Xia Zhiming on her shoulder, the Heavenly King Zhangzhang asked with a smile, "Two guardian spirits, where are you going now?"

Xiao Qingxin answered obediently: "I want to go down to the mortal world and play."

The Heavenly King Zhangda and the immortal officials and heavenly soldiers around him were all stunned, and the immortal officials were even more discussing the matter.

Only the Heavenly King Zhangzhang remained amiable and said to Qingxin with a smile, "Heavenly officials cannot descend to the mortal realm at will. If you, Master Lingguan, are going out to play, when will you be back?"

"Wow..." The little girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked the Heavenly King Zhangzhang: "Can we come back in forty-seven years?"

King Zhangzhang nodded, and then ordered the heavenly soldiers to clear a path.

After Qing Xin and the White Snake flew away on a cloud, an immortal official outside the South Heaven Gate took up his pen to record the descent of the Heavenly Official, but heard the Heavenly King Zhangzhang shout directly: "I told you to remember it!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"You didn't see it, and I didn't see it either."

"Yes!"

Chapter 67 Swimming

Sanxing Cave——

When Patriarch Bodhi pushed the door open with Qingyun, he was quickly asked by his disciples about the trip to Heavenly Palace and the situation of the man and the snake.

However, Patriarch Bodhi did not say anything. He just looked outside the cave and chuckled and shook his head, leaving his disciples looking puzzled.
