Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 33 Fifty-seven thousand?
The back garden of the Weiling Zhengshen Mansion.

There is a pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters.

The attic has two floors. The second floor is shaped like a pavilion, with no walls on any side, only golden curtains hanging down.

Several rare birds, resembling cranes, circled and sang around the pavilion, their calls like music, rising and falling, quite melodious.

Through the curtains.

You can vaguely see a noblewoman dressed in a pink palace gown.

This person is none other than Lu Xiqing, the goddess of the Lu family.

On the chaise lounge next to Lu Xiqing lay a young man of equal elegance, who was Lu Xiqing's elder brother, Lu Shenyou.

Opposite the two, someone was splashing ink to create a painting.

The painting depicts Lu Xiqing.

The painting was quickly finished, and the artist wiped non-existent sweat from his brow.

As she inscribed a poem on the painting, she recited: "A jade hairpin adorns her cascading hair like clouds, a light veil draped over her robes, her fragrance of musk filling the air. She was once the most beautiful woman in the heavens and the earth, who by chance drifted down to this painted screen. Beautiful! Beautiful! So beautiful!"

After shouting "beautiful" three times, he suddenly started crying again.

While crying, he said, "I am just an ordinary mortal. I don't know how much good karma I must have accumulated in my previous hundred lives to be able to see the face of the goddess now."

If I could stay with the divine son and daughter for a few more years, even if my soul were to scatter, I would have no regrets, no regrets at all! Waaah…”

Seeing him crying uncontrollably, Lu Xiqing turned her head away expressionlessly.

Lu Shenyou, lying on the couch, covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed: "Liu Yuanqing, you really make me happy. You're right, my sister's beauty is naturally the best in the River Drum!"

Having said that, he turned over and stood up, and ordered, "My sister has come to see me today, so please compose a few more poems."

"..." Liu Yuanqing felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He had been completely drained these past few days, so he was in no condition to write any poetry. He was just about to say something nice to fool them.

But then someone downstairs reported, "Reporting to the Goddess, Su Xintang is requesting an audience outside the gate."

"Who?" Lu Shenyou turned his head.

"Su Ye's daughter, Su Xin Tang."

"You vile wench! You have insulted my mother's reputation and dare to come to the Zheng Shen Mansion!" Lu Shenyou's face turned cold, and he ordered, "Kill her and get out of here. Don't let her defile the Zheng Shen Mansion."

"Yes," the person downstairs replied.

"Wait a minute, ask her to go to the side pavilion of the front residence." Lu Xiqing called to the person downstairs, and then said to Lu Shenyou, "I'll go see her."

"What's the point of seeing such a lowly servant? It's much better to stay here and chat with your brother about poetry and music. Xi Qing, it's been so long since you've come to see me."

“Brother, you should start cultivating. I’ll keep this person for you for now.” After saying that, Lu Xiqing reached out and grabbed at Liu Yuanqing in the air, and Liu Yuanqing’s body immediately twisted and collapsed.

In an instant, he transformed into a black humanoid token and flew into Lu Xiqing's hand.

The token was inscribed with three large characters: "Yin Shen Po," which was the "body" that the Taiyin Underworld had crafted for the Yin God.

After all, the spirits of the underworld are also wandering souls, and their activities are very limited.

Having the [Yin Spirit Soul] makes one appear no different from an ordinary person, except that one cannot cultivate independently and needs to complete the affairs of the Underworld in exchange for a higher-level Yin Spirit Soul.

After accepting Liu Yuanqing's offer, Lu Xiqing bowed to Lu Shenyou and, accompanied by twelve maids carrying food, flew away from the pavilion.

The long shawl (ribbon) hanging from his arm fluttered in the wind.

The term "flying goddess" truly came to life in her at this moment.

Inside the pavilion, Lu Shenyou's maidservant, seeing Lu Xiqing fly away, couldn't help but say, "Goddess Xiqing is too domineering. You are clearly her brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Shenyou slapped the maid across the face.

The maid knelt down in fear, and Lu Shenyou cursed, "You lowly servant, my sister should be enjoying a life of leisure with me, but she has to work hard for the Lu family and deal with all sorts of mundane affairs every day. She has made great contributions, so who are you to criticize her?"

The maid dared not retort and lay trembling on the ground.

On the other side, Su Xintang, carrying a bamboo woven box, arrived at the side pavilion of the front mansion under the guidance of the Lu family. Meng Bai, looking through the bamboo mesh, was about to take a good look at the magnificent decoration of this side pavilion.

But then I heard a surprised voice beside me: "A-Tang?"

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Xiqing, with her hairpin and phoenix hair ornament, wearing a pink palace dress and still having some baby fat on her face, floating in from the back hall of the side pavilion. She was elegant, beautiful and noble beyond words.

She was like a blooming peony, with a completely different temperament from Su Xintang, who was like a secluded orchid in a valley.

"Was it her who was bathing in the lake?" Meng Bai pondered, and after carefully examining her face, he thought, "It looks a bit like her. Could it really be her?"

Just as Meng Bai was pondering, Lu Xiqing stepped forward to take Su Xintang's hand and said with a smile, "It's been more than ten years since you last visited me since we were children. What brings you here today..."

"Greetings, Goddess." Su Xintang took a step back and bowed solemnly.

The gesture of bowing caused Lu Xiqing's outstretched hand to freeze in mid-air, and the words of reminiscing she was about to say remained unspoken.

She withdrew her hand and glanced at the maid carrying food beside her.

The maid understood and placed a plate of spiritual fruit in front of Su Xintang, gesturing for her to take it and eat.

Su Xintang hesitated for a moment, then took one in her hand.

Lu Xiqing had already picked up a pearl and popped it into her mouth. After finding a seat, she said, "I heard that you've been cultivating quite well at the Purple Lotus Temple..."

"?" Meng Bai was dumbfounded.

No, how can a goddess like you talk while eating?

What a gluttonous girl!

Su Xintang dared not show any unusual behavior. She held the fruit in her hand and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Goddess."

Having said that, she had no time for further conversation and went straight to the point, placing the box containing Meng Bai on the table and bowing, saying, "I have come to see the Goddess today for two matters."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiqing glanced at the box and sighed, "I knew it. With your intelligence, I couldn't possibly hide it from you. This is a ghost sent to you by the ghost messengers, isn't it?"

"Yes." Su Xintang still clasped her hands and bowed her head, her face showing barely suppressed nervousness.

"I asked him to deliver it, it's nothing special, why did you have to come all the way to return it to me?"

“Since it is a gift from the goddess, I will accept it.” Su Xintang felt relieved and glad that Meng Bai had guessed correctly. She took the box back and used her magic to hold it at her waist.

This action made Lu Xiqing happy. She picked up a fruit and put it in her mouth.

He laughed and said, "That's right. I haven't taken back what I gave you yet. You just said there were two things. What's the second thing?"

"I beg the goddess to spare my sister."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiqing immediately stopped talking. She looked at Su Xintang, who was clasping her hands in a respectful gesture, and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

"Your esteemed protector, Lu Qichang, just told me that my sister bit Miss Lu Yunluo and is now imprisoned in the Lu family's jail."

"Cloud snail?" Lu Xiqing lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't rush, eat something first."

After saying that, she glanced at the maid.

The maid understood, put down the plate she was carrying, and flew away.

At that moment, Su Xintang noticed the human-shaped token hanging on Lu Xiqing's waist. The instant she saw the token, her heart rate suddenly spiked.

He thought to himself, "Meng Bai, the Lu family actually possesses the Yin Spirit Soul that was withdrawn from the Underworld!"

"What is this 'retired Yin spirit'?"

"It's the body used by the Yin God. Look at her waist, that's the token. It got old and was disposed of as scrap by the Yin Court. It's usually only sold to the gods, not to ordinary celestial spirits."

"If I could get you a piece, you could crawl into the Yin Spirit Soul and have a body. Most importantly, it can nourish the soul; as long as the spirit soul doesn't shatter, the Yin spirit won't dissipate, and a retired Yin Spirit Soul can be used for at least twenty or thirty years."

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai's gaze was instantly drawn to the token at Lu Xiqing's waist.

"There are actually such good things?"
