Chapter 27: Cen Biqing, Guest Arrives at the Door

  End of year busy, out early, first post a bit late, rose sorry!

  "Clang clang!"

  But just as Hong Haier saw a pair of huge eyes in his dream and fell down with fright, he heard a voice by his ear, which suddenly woke him up.

  As I opened my eyes, I saw a lovely little girl standing at the head of my bed, staring at me with wide eyes. She looked about three or four years old, cute and chubby, pitiful and lovable, with big bright eyes that sparkled like a fairy, and was clever and charming in a quirky way.

  The newcomer was a maid brought back by Hong Haier from Cuifeng Mountain, named Xiaoqing, who was the transformed form of the green snake rescued in Biqiu Country.

  But on that day, Red Boy took Xia Qing and Hu Qiuye back to Cuifeng Mountain together, but was seen by his own mother, Tieshan Xian.

  That Iron Fan Princess's Taoist skills were extremely profound, although she was a female cultivator, she was only slightly inferior to the Bull Demon King, and was already a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Fortunately, she didn't like to fight, so her reputation wasn't well-known, but outsiders didn't know that besides the Bull Demon King, there was another extremely formidable mistress in the Qingyun Mountain lineage.

  Iron Fan saw the Red Boy bring back Hu Qiuyue, and at first she was somewhat displeased. After all, it was the Qingqiu Fox Clan that had snatched away her own husband. Although there were some calculations between the couple in this matter, to outsiders it seemed like that's all there was to it. Moreover, Iron Fan was originally a strong-willed person; if not for her own husband, she wouldn't have tolerated another woman by his side.

  However, when Iron Fan saw Xia Qing afterwards, she was first startled and then delighted. She took Xia Qing from Hong Haier's hands and half a month later, led a two or three-year-old little girl to give to Hong Haier, with a ambiguous face, letting Hong Haier take good care of her.

  Later, Hong Haier learned that the girl was actually Xiao Qing who had been missing for half a month. Princess Iron Fan was originally a princess of the Shura tribe, with a deep understanding of the family's teachings on the breeding of spiritual beasts and celestial birds. After marrying the Bull Demon King, she also received the true transmission of the Upper Clear lineage.

  It took half a month to turn the little green snake that had transformed into a dragon into human form. The Iron Fan Immortal, who was skilled in divination, also gave Xia Qing a name that he thought sounded good: Cen Biqing.

  Hong Haier spat blood, and his own mother saw the ambiguous look in her eyes with Xiaoqing, as if Xiaoqing was a child bride of the Niu family. Uh, okay, Cen Biqing, isn't that the name of Xiaoqing in the Legend of the White Snake?

  Hong Haier was speechless, and he really didn't know why his own mother would give Xiao Qing such a name, let alone the fact that he himself was Zhang Yutang.

  Fortunately, after Xiao Qing transformed into a human form, she became intelligent and clever, lovely and cute, of course, and also more attached to Hong Hai Er.

  Hong Haier was depressed, this little green snake had only been a small snake with no Taoist skills just a few months ago. In just a short period of time, it opened up its spiritual wisdom and transformed into a human form. Moreover, it transformed into the true body of Cang Long, with strength that rivaled that of a Xuan Xian, even sitting on a rocket wouldn't be as impressive as this.

  Even if one's innate talent is exceptional and their cultivation method is extraordinary, could it be that they haven't eaten the peaches of immortality? It's said that eating one of Queen Mother's peaches allows one to ascend to heaven and become an immortal instantly. Alright, back at the Five Villas Observatory, I once gave Qing'er a Ginseng Fruit, and also taught her cultivation methods from Zhenyuan Great Immortal, but why, for what reason? I myself have eaten plenty of Ginseng Fruits, so why hasn't my own cultivation shown any improvement?

  Damn this Huo Yuan force. Hong Haier secretly cursed in his heart, sat up, and stared at the small Qing in front of him, lost in thought for a while.

  "Guo guo, I'm hungry!" Little Qing saw that Hong Haier was awake and was initially delighted, but then saw that he was staring blankly and ignoring her. He opened his mouth again, saying this while patting his own little belly.

  "Hmm." Hong Haier saw this, but couldn't help laughing, and gently scratched Xiao Qing's nose, saying: "Greedy little thing, won't let Autumn Moon sister make food for you?"

  "Who's been talking about me again?" A voice came from outside the door, and with the sound, a beautiful figure walked in, holding a small golden basin in her hand, with hot water steaming inside. She approached slowly and elegantly.

  "Good friend Hu Qiuyue!" Hong Haier, seeing this, got up from the bed and walked to a nearby washstand to take down a silk handkerchief. As soon as Hu Qiuyue put down the golden basin, he soaked the handkerchief in it, wrung it out quickly, and began his morning "cleaning" work.

  "Hmm." Every time Hu Qiuyue saw Hong Haier looking like an ordinary person, she would pause for a moment. Then, her eyes would flash with a hint of unusual color. It was well-known that gods and immortals rarely washed their faces because once they achieved a divine body, they would be spotless and wouldn't produce any impurities. Of course, there were exceptions, such as female immortals with cleanliness obsessions or some slovenly male immortals. Even female immortals only occasionally went to some spiritual springs to clean themselves, just like the Seven Fairy Maidens.

  But the "male immortal" who doesn't care about his appearance, um, probably only has that barefooted big immortal, Jiang Ziya's wife, the broom star Ma Shi, and the legendary Qingxu Yuanshen Zhang Daoling.

  She is the legendary toilet god, also known as the Three Xian Niangniang who responds to the world. She and her sisters are famous for their beauty in the primordial chaos. Although she was sealed as a toilet god, it was because Jiang Shang took revenge on her out of a twisted mentality.

  But if it's like Hong Haier, washing and dressing early in the morning, I'm afraid it's the only one in the three realms. You know that cultivators who understand the Tao, who knows when they close their doors for hundreds of years, those powerful ones even take a nap for thousands of years. Who still has the leisure to care about these things?

  "Alas, I've wasted my efforts, getting up early every day to personally boil water and deliver it to the young master, only to be treated like a lowly servant. But little did I know that behind my back, who knows what kind of gossip and criticism is being spread." Seeing Hong Haier carefully wiping his own face as if there were many stains on it, Hu Qiuyue suddenly spoke up.

  "Pffft!"

  Hong Haier heard Hu Qiuyue's words and was choked for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Sister Qiuyue, what are you talking about?"

  "What did you say? That day on Cuicui Mountain, I heard my grandmother say that she wanted me to take good care of you..." Hu Qiuyue spoke up.

  It turned out that on that day, Hu Qiuyue and Hong Haier returned to Cuifeng Mountain together, which made Tie Shanxian unhappy for a while. However, after repeated calculations, this little fox seemed to have some fate with her own son. Moreover, she was kind and innocent, and had no one to rely on, seeking refuge here.

  The Tianxian sect has a long history of embracing all kinds of demons, with no distinction between good and evil. The brothers in the sect are deeply affectionate towards each other, regardless of whether they are immortals or demon fairies who have attained the Tao, and are all included by the leader of the Tianxian sect.

  The Ox King led the Kui Cow clan to migrate to the Western Cow Herding Continent, and often had little monsters or people in distress coming to seek refuge. Whoever came, he would help without exception. Therefore, the Ox King's reputation in the demon world was also loud and clear, with a strong sense of justice.

  After much consideration, Tie Shan Xian accepted Hu Qiu Yue as a disciple and had her enter the sect as a servant girl, equivalent to being a maid for her own son. Of course, she also understood the principle of giving her a slap on the face and a date, and she would also teach some simple and shallow techniques to Hu Qiu Yue.

  Even so, Hu Qiuyue was still very grateful. After all, although she had a unique talent, she suffered from having no master to teach her, and what she learned was quite miscellaneous. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten into a fight with Bai Lu Jing because of the Shangqing Dan book, almost losing her life.

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Having heard what Hu Qiuyue said, Hong Haier felt a bit guilty. Although he didn't know what she had discussed with his mother that day, he indeed had been taken care of by her during this period. He hastily changed the subject and looked at Xiao Qing beside him: "Can we have breakfast after washing up?"

  As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Xia Qing over to sit down beside her at the round table.

  "Oh yeah!" The little girl heard and jumped up laughing.

  "Hmm!" Hu Qiuyue saw this, but she was a bit gritting her teeth, lightly stomping her foot, and then clapping her hands.

  "Crack!"

  The door opened wide, and a team of young servants holding jade plates walked in with uniform movements. At a glance, they were all 12 or 13-year-old little boys with clear eyebrows and eyes, but they were the little demons from the Red Boy's Fire Cloud Cave.

  No way, the previous little Zhengtao version of Hong Haier was a child king, so the monsters in the cave were all little girls and boys, and they were all wearing revealing clothes, all wearing a uniform color - red bellyband.

  Cough, cough. So this time when Hong Haier returned, he ordered these "vanguard" little monsters to all dress more conservatively. Otherwise, how would Hong Haier feel like the "Huang Shiren" who exploited child labor?

  "Wow, this breakfast is quite rich!" Hong Haier saw a dozen or so little demons carrying jade plates walking in, but was somewhat surprised, and turned his head to look at Hu Qiuyue.

  "Hmph." Feeling Hong Haier's gaze, Hu Qiuyue walked forward with a bad temper, taking the food from the jade plates held by a group of little demons and placing them on the table one by one.

  "Knock knock!"

  As he lifted the lids of the purple sandalwood carved food boxes, Hong'er couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the rich aroma that wafted out immediately made his fingers itch to dig in.

  "It smells so good!" A voice came, a shadow entered from outside the door. It was Xiaoniuer, who hadn't been seen for a long time. Seeing that the three were sitting at the table and about to start eating, he hurriedly walked up and sat down without hesitation.

  "This is mine!" As soon as Little Cow came in, Xiao Qing, who had been on high alert since childhood, quickly pulled several food boxes to her own side.

  "Hey, little sister, don't be so petty." Little Cow saw this and didn't get angry, but instead smiled, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating quickly.

  "Eat slowly, I've made a lot." Seeing that the two foodies were about to start fighting, Hu Qiuyue hurriedly intervened.

  "It smells really good!"

  At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly echoed in the room, making Hong Haier's hair stand on end...
