Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 25 There is a number in the Celestial Realm

downstairs.

"Mr. Meng's takeout?"

“Yes.” Su Xintang, dressed in a white dress and with her hair flowing down her back, nodded.

"Here you go." The delivery guy didn't even dare to look at her.

Before Su Xintang could finish saying "thank you," the young man hopped on his electric scooter and sped away as if fleeing for his life.

Watching his departing figure and hearing him repeatedly mutter "Mommy, Mommy," Su Xintang stammered out a "...thank you."

"What's wrong with him?" Su Xintang muttered to herself, then shook her head and pushed open the door to go inside.

Go upstairs.

Open the door.

Come back home.

Looking at Meng Bai lying straight on the bed, Su Xintang sat down on the floor again.

After thinking for a moment, she took the incense burner out of the plastic bag, poured rice into it, lit three incense sticks, and placed them on Meng Bai's bedside table.

He frowned.

Why does this incense smell so mixed?

"Alright, let's use it for now. If we have the chance to go back, we'll definitely buy more Jade Lotus Incense... and Miss Ning's Purple Lotus Root Paste. She helped us film the video, so we should do something to show our appreciation."

Thinking about going back, Su Xintang felt a little down again.

I don't know if I'll be able to go back within fifty years.

I should stay here with Meng Bai to fulfill my filial duties, and only bring up the matter of returning home after his grandmother and parents have passed away peacefully.

Putting aside her chaotic thoughts, she closed her eyes and focused on reciting the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra" for Meng Bai. This was a complementary exercise to the Pillow Technique, which could calm the mind and help with enlightenment.

In her opinion, Meng Bai might be gaining insights as well.

And so, Meng Bai lay peacefully on the bed, three incense sticks lit beside his head, while Su Xintang chanted sutras beside him; the scene was very harmonious.

In this atmosphere of farewell.

Meng Bai vaguely felt himself turn into a seed.

It was planted in a dark and damp place.

There was no light around.

All that could be heard was an endless cacophony of noise, some of which Meng Bai couldn't understand, while others he seemed to understand.

These noises never stopped, bringing countless purplish-red energies to nourish his roots.

He was in a daze, unaware of the passage of time.

Finally, nourished by the purplish-red aura, it sprouted, growing two tender black leaves that broke through the soil.

He was too short.

All around was mud, and it was impossible to tell where I was.

Even so, a thought naturally appeared in Meng Bai's mind.

"Is this...the Celestial Realm?"

"I...what am I?"

"What am I?"

"I'm……"

He fell into a daze again, just as a dreamer cannot think continuously.

Time passed by, second by second.

The sun on Earth quietly climbed into the sky, and a telephone ring interrupted Su Xintang's "Heart-Cleansing Mantra".

She opened her eyes and glanced at her phone, where she saw the words "Ning Meng" written on it.

She glanced at Meng Bai, who still had his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up, pondered for a moment, and then reached out and magically captured the phone in her hand.

After the call connected, before anyone could speak, Ning Meng said, "Are you up yet? Have you decided where to go? I'm coming to find you now."

The string of words left Su Xintang unsure how to respond.

She could only cough lightly and say, "I am Xintang."

"Sister Su?" Ning Meng was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Where's Meng Bai?"

“He…is not feeling well, he’s sick,” Su Xintang offered an excuse.

"You're sick? You were fine yesterday. What happened? Is it serious?" Ning Meng immediately asked with concern.

"It's not serious, I just need to rest in bed," Su Xintang said, as if afraid her lie wouldn't be believable.

He quickly added, "He tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep. He just took his medicine and fell asleep, but he probably won't wake up for a while."

Upon hearing this, Ning Meng's expression suddenly turned strange.

Did you spend the whole night messing around?

What's wrong with you? Are you sick or just weak?
Never mind, she said, "I'll go find you guys first. We still need to film the video and update it today, otherwise all the effort and money we've spent will be wasted."

To be honest, Su Xintang was originally thinking of saying, "It's really not possible today, let's film it in a couple of days."

But as soon as she heard Ning Meng say, "All the effort and money was wasted," she immediately swallowed her words.

It doesn't matter whether the effort is wasted or not.

Money won't do!

After hanging up the phone.

Looking at the room filled with smoke, Su Xintang quickly put the incense burner into her storage space.

Then he got up, opened the window, and cast a purification spell to dispel all the smoke.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up the clothes Meng Bai had bought for her and went to the bathroom, changing from the white dress into a white T-shirt and black loose sweatpants.

Two ordinary clothes looked completely different on her.

It really proves the old saying, "Some people can look good even in a burlap sack."

After finishing all this, she sat down in a chair, waiting for Ning Meng to come over while staring blankly at Meng Bai.

As she looked at it, she felt something was off.

Meng Bai was lying too upright; he didn't look sick, but rather like he had passed away.

So she used her magic to drag Meng Bai's body and started to position him in a sleeping position, but no matter how she positioned him, it felt awkward. As she tried, she ended up laughing at herself.

When will you wake up?

"Wake up quickly. Although your appearance hasn't changed, the filth on your body has receded a lot. You'll definitely be happy when you look in the mirror."

After muttering a few words, Su Xintang got up and put away the camera battery, stabilizer, and other equipment that were charging.

She played with these devices all night yesterday and already knows how to use them.

Tens of minutes later...

Ning Meng was ushered into the house.

Su Xintang didn't want to bring her up, but she felt it would be too impolite to not let her into her home when she came.

When Ning Meng entered the room, she looked at Meng Bai lying on his side on the bed. She wanted to call out to him, but she held back.

"Is he alright?" Su Xintang asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, he'll be fine after a good night's sleep." Su Xintang shook her head and then offered, "How about we find a place downstairs to take pictures today? I... I'm worried about him."

“That works too.” Ning Meng glanced around when she came up and saw a small park a few hundred meters away.

"Let's go then. Let's finish filming as soon as possible so we can come back and take care of him." Su Xintang didn't want to waste any time; she was genuinely worried that something might happen if she left for too long.

Upon hearing this, Ning Meng couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk tsk, Old Meng is really lucky to have met you."

Su Xintang was taken aback upon hearing this.

He sensed the incense burning on his body and the more than 2,500 streams of magical power.

Then think about Meng Bai's genuine kindness.

Would it be the same if it were someone else?

Su Xintang had no answer, nor was she willing to make that assumption.

She smiled and said, "I'm lucky to have met him. Let's go."

"!!" Ning Meng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at those words.

She looked at Meng Bai lying on the bed, then at Su Xintang, and began to doubt her life.

How did Lao Meng do that?
No way, I'll have to get my stupid older brother to become my apprentice another day. He's been a simp all day, and in the end he got nothing but shame.

Look at Old Meng.

Take a good look!

With mixed feelings, Ning Meng quickly said, "Let's not go yet, let me put on some makeup first, it's hot outside."

"Oh, right, right, I forgot, sorry." Su Xintang quickly gave an apologetic look.

"We're all family, there's no need to be shy." Ning Meng started taking out cosmetics from her bag.

As she continued with her makeup, she looked at Su Xintang's exquisite face and alabaster skin, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Su, when are you going back?"

This question stumped Su Xintang, who asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"That jade lotus root paste you mentioned last time, could you bring me some back with you? Or have someone send it to me?" Ning Meng wasn't sure if it actually worked.

But what if it works?
"I probably won't be back for a while. That lotus root is wild and not easy to find. I have to ask around." Su Xintang cursed herself for being nosy yesterday while making excuses.

"Okay, I'll definitely ask around for you." Ning Meng chuckled.

"Mmm." Su Xintang responded, her eyes glancing at Meng Bai lying on the bed.

Meng Bai's eyelids twitched slightly, indicating that he was about to wake up.
