"Dear Sect Leader Senior Brother, where are you now? Have you had your meal yet? Have you slept yet?"
"Just a moment ago, an automated little bird arrived from Ascension Gate. It looks exactly like a little bird. Junior Sister Song said this is the iteration of Yi’Er, and it’s specially responsible for messages. When I took a look, the message turned out to be from Xufu Town."
"Many of the junior sisters have never been to Xufu Town, and neither have I. So, when are you going to take us to Xufu Town for a visit, Sect Leader Senior Brother? It seems like we haven’t left the sect in ages. Can we go out to play for a few days during New Year like we did long ago this year?"
"Ah, I may have said a bit much. Here’s the thing: A message came from Xufu Town claiming to be from your elder brother, Sect Leader Senior Brother, named Wei Zhe. He said something in Xufu Town requires your attention, but according to the message, it seems urgent yet not urgent—it’s all up to you."
Yuchi understood, spontaneously touching his chin, while nearby Yin Shuang’s little fists hammered vigorously, clearly pulling no punches. Her silver hair danced wildly as she bent over hoeing the ground, pounding his honest old shoulders, but he deemed the force just right.
"Indeed."
"Last year during New Year, it seems I didn’t lead Ascension Gate disciples out. The last outing was long ago—it’s soon to be two years. Hmm... If problems with Xuexiang get resolved this New Year, I’ll take them out for some fun."
So did my elder brother send a message? This seemed akin to a wife telling her husband, "I’ve cooked dumplings for ten people, you can come home tonight or not."
Typical sign he needs to return.
"Alright then, let’s head back to Xufu Town and see what’s happening."
"It’s been about half a year since I last visited Xufu Town, right?"
"Let’s just broadly assess the situation this time. Generally, my elder brother wouldn’t reach out unless it’s significant."
Yuchi slowly stopped the Jade Ship, gradually descending to the ground. Once in a remote and wild area, he walked through unfamiliar woods as Yin Shuang tapped Yuchi’s ear. Her big eyes brimmed with curiosity—weren’t they supposed to be traveling? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Why have they landed?
Yuchi found what he considered a good spot, hid the Immortal Jade, and said to Yin Shuang with a smile, "Little Yin Shuang, return to the painting card for now, as your master has matters to attend to. Afterward, I’ll get you some elixirs. How does that sound?"
Yin Shuang was practically a double-footed gold-eating beast, truly one.
She’s only been by his side for a few days—not even a week—and already he’s spent four elixirs.
And the document Qi Hongyu gave him he’s already seen. It’s quite straightforward regarding feeding: Often, one elixir per month is sufficient, but it depends on the specific spiritual painting avatar; if the avatar gets hungry, elixirs can be given. Spiritual painting avatars aren’t fools—if she eats, there’s no concern about overdosing on elixirs.
So, is her appetite several times the size of other avatars’? Is she more than a glutton—perhaps Taotie or Pixiu? frёeωebɳovel.com
Listening to the promise of elixirs, Yin Shuang was compliant.
She squeezed into Yuchi’s sleeve, melded into the painting card, and when Yuchi exhaled a relief glance at the card to check on Yin Shuang—what she was doing, fishing perhaps—her face was pressed against the card’s mirror surface, distorted, her eyes eerily fixed on Yuchi.
Yin Shuang: Stare~
Yuchi: "..."
"Everyone else has Sadako; henceforth, you shall be Gemini, or just Silver Gemini."
Laughing, and Yin Shuang’s recent changes were quite significant; once tucked away fishing in the card, now during travels she prefers playfulness. Especially on speeding flying swords, she’d open her mouth to emit tremors, utterly silly.
Alright then, as long as she’s happy, it’s all fine.
Securing the card, Yuchi slightly tidied his appearance and clothing.
Once ensuring no issues, he packed away the Jade Ship, erased traces, and instantly found himself outside Xufu Town.
...
"I’m back!"
Having been absent for several months, upon returning he noticed how Xufu Town developed remarkably well. The population was noticeably larger than before, yet it was busy October in Xufu Town now.
Additionally, alongside the Clothing Town’s integration, other towns seem to have merged, indicating the Imperial Decree Department did well—or rather, Xufu Town is inching toward becoming a grand city, instilling basic trust in the Imperial Decree Department.
