At this moment, a young girl stumbled over and fell to the ground.
Yaohua quickly rushed to revive her.
The young girl said weakly, "Thank you, benefactor."
However, Chongming noticed something amiss. "There are spiritual energy fluctuations on you. Why did you collapse from exhaustion?"
Instead of answering his query immediately, the young girl exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Lord Chongming?"
After confirming his identity, she grabbed his sleeve and said happily, "You're the person I admire the most, and your bond with Sister Yaohua is truly moving the heavens and the earth."
"Who's your sister? Have we met before?" Yaohua eyed the hand on Chongming's sleeve with some distaste.
The young girl replied, "My name is Que Qing. I'm just a little sparrow spirit. Of course, you two great beings don't know me, but I know you!"
Looking at Chongming shyly, she said softly, "My lord, I grabbed your sleeve out of excitement. You won't be angry, will you?"
Chongming pulled his sleeve out of her hand. "It's fine. Just don't act like this in the future."
Que Qing changed the topic. "I fainted because I over - exerted my spiritual energy. My spiritual energy can make plants grow rapidly."
Saying so, she carefully took out a seed from her sleeve. After infusing it with spiritual energy, the seed immediately took root and sprouted, growing into a cabbage. "I wonder if I could join you two and distribute food to the common people together?"
Considering her special spiritual energy, Chongming thought for a long time and then agreed to her request.
Yaohua always felt that this young girl was strange, but seeing that Chongming had been doing his best to distribute medicine to the common people, she said nothing.
One day, after a long day of hard work, the three of them took a rest in a commoner's house.
Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the rain poured down heavily.
Yaohua and Chongming were lying on the same bed, discussing their next move. After that, Chongming gently embraced Yaohua. "You've been working hard these days."
Yaohua said softly, "It's not hard at all to treat the victims with you."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Que Qing said with a crying voice, "Lord Chongming, I'm so scared. Could you accompany me?"
Chongming was slightly stunned and looked puzzled. "If you're scared, you should be strong. How can my company help?"
Que Qing sobbed, "I shouldn't have made such a request, but if I could have your company, I wouldn't be scared. I'm just a little sparrow. If I'm overly frightened, I won't be able to treat the common people tomorrow."
Chongming hesitated.
Yaohua felt quite speechless. Just as she was about to refuse, she suddenly had an idea and decided to fight fire with fire. "The lightning and thunder outside are really terrifying. We've been working hard these days. If Sister Que Qing is really too scared to treat the common people, it's okay for her to take a few days' rest."
Que Qing cried, "Sister Yaohua, I'm not afraid of hard work. I just need the lord to accompany me for a while, or you can cast a spell on me. If you won't let him spend a moment with me just because you like the lord, that's a bit too much, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Yaohua immediately threw herself into Chongming's arms and said aggrievedly, "I'm just thinking about Sister Que Qing. How can you be so ungrateful? It's not good for your reputation to be alone with a man in a room. People who don't know might think you're trying to seduce Chongming!"
Que Qing was about to say something else, but Chongming had already made his decision. He said loudly, "Go back first. It's really inappropriate for me to be in the same room with you."
Que Qing was unwilling and aggrieved. "Why can you be with Sister Yaohua then?"
Chongming's answer was concise and filled with a touch of tenderness. "She's my wife."
Que Qing left dejectedly.
Seeing that Chongming had directly rejected her, Yaohua was very happy. She couldn't help but rub against his chest. "You're my husband. You're only allowed to accompany me."
Chongming hugged her lovingly. "Naturally. But if she's really too scared to treat the common people, it won't do. How about I call Lu Ran to treat the common people with us and take care of her?"
Yaohua was in a great mood at the moment and agreed to everything he said. "It's up to you, husband."
The next day, Lu Ran appeared in the team. He greeted everyone enthusiastically. "My lord, Princess! It's been a long time. By the way, who is this?"
He looked at Que Qing. Seeing that this young girl had willow - like eyebrows and almond - shaped eyes, and was extremely beautiful, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes.
Que Qing looked haggard because she had been frightened. She said weakly, "I'm a sparrow spirit. My name is Que Qing."
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed by. She was startled, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
At Chongming's signal, Lu Ran quickly came to her side and cast a spell to create a light shield to protect her from the wind, rain, and lightning.
Since it was raining heavily outside, Que Qing could only cultivate crops indoors. When Yaohua went out to collect soil and returned to the room, she saw Que Qing shrinking in Lu Ran's arms, shivering.
It was obvious that Lu Ran had fallen for her.
Yaohua coughed lightly. "I've collected the soil. You two, a man and a woman, should keep a proper distance."
She always felt that there was something strange about Que Qing and didn't want Lu Ran to be attracted to her.
Que Qing trembled and looked at Lu Ran with tear - filled eyes.
Lu Ran even felt a bit dissatisfied with Yaohua. "She's very scared now, but you're urging her to grow crops. Aren't you being a bit too inconsiderate?"
"Outside, there are all hungry victims. With the heavy rain pouring down, many of them are getting soaked." Yaohua sighed.
Que Qing said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm too timid. If only I could be as strong as Sister Yaohua."
Saying so, big drops of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she even sobbed out loud.
Facing Lu Ran's dissatisfied look, Yaohua was filled with anger, but she still held it back. "Fine. I'll go out and settle the victims first."
Lu Ran patted Que Qing and said softly, "You can come with me to treat the victims. Don't worry. I'll always protect you."
Que Qing looked at him trustingly. "It's okay. Sister Yaohua didn't do it on purpose."
She glanced at Chongming, who was preparing supplies with Yaohua, and then took the initiative to come in front of Yaohua to apologize. "I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble."
Before Yaohua could say anything, Lu Ran pulled her into his arms. "You didn't do anything wrong. There's no need to apologize."
In the following days, Lu Ran obeyed Que Qing in everything and even quarreled with Yaohua.
Yaohua was even more convinced that there was something wrong with this sparrow spirit and kept a close eye on her.
One night, Que Qing secretly got up and slipped away. Yaohua followed closely behind.
By the Tianhe River, the water slapped against the shore. The usually timid Que Qing actually jumped directly into the river. She dived to the bottom of the Tianhe River and came to the seal of the Heavenly Demon. Then she began to cast spells to break the seal.
