Other labor - intensive tasks were manageable, but tasks that required the knowledge of a scholar were beyond her.
After her initial curiosity faded, Yaohua carefully put away the Danjing mirror.
"Master, has Qihua been executed?"
"Why do you ask?" Chongming countered the question, "Do you think he didn't deserve to die?"
"I just thought that if he was executed because of the precious pearl, it was unnecessary."
"The matter is over, and it's meaningless to bring it up again." Chongming plucked a petal that had accidentally landed on her head. "Your hair has grown a lot."
Does Master not want to talk about it?
Yaohua tilted her head with a gentle smile and leaned in. "Master, will you comb my hair?"
Chongming hesitated slightly, but he knew there might not be many such opportunities in the future.
He waved his sleeve, and a dressing table appeared. He motioned for Yaohua to sit down.
Yaohua was the only daughter of the Phoenix Clan. Her father and brothers doted on her. The dressing table and the embroidery room were all handmade by them with precious materials. Their love was sincere, but the items were not very beautiful.
In fact, this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful dressing table.
"I'll ask Luran to send it to the Phoenix Clan for you later."
Chongming took out a jade comb and slowly combed her long hair.
"No need, Master." Yaohua propped her chin and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes curving. "My brothers made one for me."
A faint smile appeared on Chongming's lips, which was reflected in Yaohua's eyes through the bronze mirror. Yaohua's breath caught in her throat, and she touched her cheek.
She really didn't know how much good karma she had accumulated to be able to look into the same mirror as her master.
"Look at yourself."
Her master's gentle voice was like a gentle breeze in her ear.
Reluctantly, Yaohua shifted her gaze to herself.
The bright - eyed young girl had a neat flying - fairy hairstyle. Red ribbons with golden bells hung on both sides, jingling with her movements.
"Is... is this really me?"
Yaohua widened her eyes, holding her head and looking left and right, as if she had seen something completely new.
"Yes, it's you." Chongming looked seriously at the little phoenix in the mirror, his eyes filled with a gentle smile. "I almost forgot about this."
He opened his palm, and a pair of red jade earrings came into Yaohua's view.
"Are these for me?"
Yaohua was no longer an innocent child. She could tell that the hairstyle her master had done for her, the hairpins, and these earrings were all extraordinary magical artifacts that were hard to come by.
"I got them by chance." Chongming nodded. "I don't have any other female disciples."
Hearing this, Yaohua was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master!"
Although her father and brothers had already given her many magical artifacts, these were from her master, which were different from those from her family.
"But I don't have pierced ears yet." Yaohua suddenly remembered this and blushed slightly. "I'm afraid I'll let Master's kindness go to waste."
Chongming seemed to be caught off - guard by this problem. He was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his composure. Spiritual power from his fingertips, like a wisp of ghostly fire, attached itself to the earrings.
The ear studs elongated and curved, like crescent hooks, and were hung on Yaohua's ears.
"Master is so amazing!" Yaohua was overjoyed. She looked at herself in the mirror, wishing she could go back to the Phoenix Clan right away and show her new jewelry to her father and brothers.
These were unique jewelry forged by her master!
The more she looked, the prettier she thought she was.
Yaohua was so engrossed that she almost jumped into the mirror. Fortunately, Chongming pulled her back in time.
"I wish Master could comb my hair every day."
Her brothers definitely couldn't do such a delicate hairstyle!
"The fairies in Cangling Hall will teach you." Chongming hid the disappointment in his eyes. "You'll grow up one day and have to learn to comb your own hair."
"Okay, then I'll let the fairies teach me." Yaohua replied with a smile, but in her heart, she thought: No way, she wanted her master to comb her hair.
Chongming put away the dressing table. When he saw a lucky cloud approaching from the horizon, he frowned slightly.
Yaohua followed his gaze and saw a young man in white suddenly jump down from the cloud.
This young man had antlers on his head and fair skin. It was the God Donghua who helped Master handle official business.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Yaohua quickly bowed and saluted him properly.
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities." Donghua was flattered. The world didn't know that the little princess of the Phoenix Clan was the only disciple of God Chongming, who was on the same level as him. How could he accept such a salute?
"What's the matter?"
"While handling official business for Your Highness just now, I suddenly received a distress signal from the Dragon King Nanfeng." Donghua said seriously, raising his hand. A broken dragon scale was shining brightly under the aura.
"At Cangyan Mountain, in Xiaoxi Village. My life is in danger. Come quickly."
It was Uncle Nanfeng's voice!
Since the matter of the Immortal Peach Tree, the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan had been in close contact. Uncle Nanfeng often brought her some beautiful and novel things. So when she heard Nanfeng's weak voice, her heart skipped a beat.
"Do you know the cause and effect of this matter?" Chongming frowned and looked at Donghua, who slowly shook his head.
"Before receiving this signal, Nanfeng didn't tell us anything."
"You can go back. I'll handle this matter myself."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Donghua said and flew away on the lucky cloud.
After the initial nervousness, Yaohua became excited. She grabbed her master's sleeve. "Master, I'll go with you!"
Maybe she could collect some more fertilizer on this trip, and her rice would ripen soon!
Chongming was already used to her eagerness. The two of them turned into a white light, and the next moment, they appeared at the foot of Cangyan Mountain.
Several years had passed since the world - ending catastrophe. Thanks to the efforts of all beings in the Three Realms, the Divine Land was no longer as barren as before. Although there were still not many edible things that could be grown, it was enough to feed most people.
At this moment, standing at the foot of Cangyan Mountain, Yaohua could see that the mountain was lush and there were many crop seedlings.
She took a closer look, and her little face was filled with surprise.
"Are these all potatoes?"
"Yes. The potatoes planted in Henan Prefecture are growing well. People from all over the Divine Land come and go, and they've taken the potatoes everywhere. Not only on Cangyan Mountain, but there should also be many potatoes in Lei Mengze." Chongming looked down at the phoenix fire on her head. "This is all your credit."
It was really great to be able to help so many people.
But she didn't dare to take all the credit.
"No, it's all because Master is amazing." Yaohua paused. "Master, how can we find Uncle Nanfeng?"
"Do you remember the tracking spell I used that day?"
Master must be referring to the spell he used on the Pheasant Clan before.
Yaohua thought for a moment and took the broken dragon scale from her master's hand. "This is Uncle Nanfeng's dragon scale. I think it should work, right?"
