Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 352 The Fairy's Kindness Can Never Be Repaid
Why do you keep snakes?

Bai Suzhen rarely speaks; her manner is gentle and soft.

Gu Qing quickly responded, recounting how he bought snakes from snake dealers near West Lake, extracted the venom, and raised them. He explained the habits of snakes in detail, which made Bai Suzhen nod repeatedly, feeling that Gu Qing was indeed quite skilled at raising snakes.

These snakes should be doing quite well in Gu Qing's hands.

Gu Qing was secretly pleased with his praise.

You think I raise snakes to extract venom? I raise snakes to raise them better!
When Lady White Snake came to Hangzhou, it was only to repay Xu Xian's kindness. As for the fact that they ended up as husband and wife, that was entirely Lady White Snake's own desire for love.

In the TV series, Guanyin Bodhisattva suggests "searching high in West Lake." Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing search everywhere, and when they finally see Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen doesn't even dare to use her magic to see Xu Xian's past life, fearing it might not be him. Perhaps in Bai Suzhen's plan, she intended to give Xu Xian a son who would become a star of literature and then leave. However, as her love deepened, she lost the ability to let go at the edge of the precipice.

Gu Qing was determined to marry a woman and live off her. Since he was not as strong as Bai Suzhen, he could only try to win her over by focusing on the details. This is the "small" in the saying "Pan, Lu, Deng, Xiao, Xian".

"I hope you will treat them kindly."

Lady White Snake's voice was soft and gentle, tinged with a hint of sorrow.

Gu Qing readily agreed.

“Your courtyard isn’t big, but you’ve invited quite a few gods.”

At this moment, the Flower Fairy walked around the courtyard and saw the various deities that Gu Qing worshipped, as well as the offerings and incense. Feeling that Gu Qing was indeed a devout believer, she said to Gu Qing, "Would you like to worship another deity?"

Gu Qing's family was well-managed, and even immortals were happy to stay there.

"The fairy's intention is Gu Qing's greatest fortune."

Gu Qing looked delighted.

Gu Qing was extremely amazed when he saw a female fairy like the Hundred Flower Fairy, but he knew that she was not someone he could approach at this stage. Therefore, Gu Qing respected her very much and his current goal for the Hundred Flower Fairy was to develop her into a connection with the immortals.

Now that the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers has seen Gu Qing's devout faith, she intends to leave behind her spiritual essence. For Gu Qing, this has already achieved her goal.

"However, whether you can keep me here depends on your writing skills."

The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers stood silently, her serene countenance transforming the elegant courtyard into a fairyland in an instant.

This is because the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers saw the portraits of the Door God, the Well God, the Toilet God, and the Bed God, and knowing that Gu Qing was exceptionally skilled in calligraphy, she intended to have Gu Qing paint one for her.

Gu Qing was overjoyed and immediately brought over a table, prepared brush and ink, and looked at the Hundred Flower Fairy standing silently. As he examined her, he felt that everything about the fairy was natural and indescribable, and he could not find a way to start painting. Her spirit and demeanor were even more extraordinary. If he did not grasp this essence and tried to paint her, he would only damage the fairy's appearance.

However, in painting, there is a saying that form embodies spirit. Gu Qing used his superb skills to memorize all the appearances and demeanor of the Hundred Flower Fairy. Then he had the Hundred Flower Fairy sit down and began to draw on the paper with his brush and ink.

In the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, Wu Yazi of the Xiaoyao Sect paints as if he were kneading and shaping people into the paintings. Among them are Wang Lianhua, Wuhen Gongzi, and Lu Miaozi, all of whom are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. With this comprehensive blessing, the figure of the Hundred Flower Fairy gradually emerges in the painting.

The Flower Fairy and Bai Suzhen were both amazed, feeling that Gu Qing was indeed very talented.

Gu Qing focused on painting.

In the past, when Gu Qing first entered the martial world, he felt that fighting was fun and didn't care about beautiful women. He put all his merits into his strength. However, in the world of Jade Dynasty, after his potential and wisdom were unearthed by the Heavenly Book, Gu Qing freely displayed his talents and attracted attention, because beautiful women could also be fun to fight with.

Before he knew it, the form of the Hundred Flower Fairy was complete, except for the eyes, which were a little bit of spirit. Gu Qing carefully sketched and finally, as dusk was falling, he completely depicted the appearance of the Hundred Flower Fairy.

"awesome!"

Looking at the portrait before her, the old woman saw that it was as if the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers had been shrunk down and put into it. Her skill in calligraphy and painting was probably unmatched in the world.

Lady White Snake gazed at the painting, then glanced sideways at Gu Qing with a strange look in her eyes. She felt that Gu Qing, who understood gardens, could paint, possessed a natural Taoist physique, and was a devout believer, was probably one of a kind in the world. The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers reached out and waved her hand, and the figures in the painting came to life, as if they were about to bend down from the painting and stand in the world.

"good."

The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers nodded in approval and said, "Gu Qing, I have never seen such calligraphy before."

You are the greatest Song Dynasty painter I have ever seen!

Upon hearing such praise, Gu Qing, while maintaining his own persona, cleverly flattered the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers with a few more words, making the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers beam with joy.

"I see that your cultivation is quite good, with water and fire in harmony and your essence and energy perfectly balanced. Why don't you achieve the elixir of immortality?"

"The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers asked."

Gu Qing's current cultivation level is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the ultimate perfection. He already possesses the combat power of a Golden Core. Once he achieves the perfect balance of water and fire and completes the process of embracing the primordial unity, his combat power will immediately erupt.

There is no real secret formula.

Gu Qing said with shame.

"I see……"

The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers nodded and said, "Without the corresponding techniques, one should indeed not easily attain the elixir... How about this, from now on you should worship me properly and be my believer. After the Flower Festival, I will go to the Heavenly Court and find you a top-notch cultivation technique."

Gu Qing was moved to tears. The kindness of the Flower Fairy was too deep, and Gu Qing wished he could repay her with his own life.

While he was feeling grateful, Xu Xian finished his work in the front and went to the backyard to say goodbye to Gu Qing. He immediately saw the Hundred Flower Fairy standing in front of Gu Qing and was so stunned that he stood there dumbfounded.

The Flower Fairy gently shook her head, and together with Bai Suzhen and the Tree Granny, she took her leave.

The Flower Fairy was so dazzling that when Bai Suzhen walked past Xu Xian, he didn't notice her at all. Bai Suzhen also treated Xu Xian as just an ordinary person, giving him a brief look before passing by.

"Master, they are..."

Xu Xian took a long time to recover, speaking haltingly, still reeling from the shock of the Hundred Flower Fairy.

"You're about to get married, why are you asking about these things?"

Gu Qing rebuked him sternly.

Xu Xian came to his senses, his face flushed with shame, and he bid farewell to Gu Qing before leaving.

Just after Xu Xian left, the Well God, Bed God, and Toilet God appeared in the courtyard and surrounded Gu Qing, asking with smiles, "How was it? After seeing the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, do you feel that you were too obsessed in the past?"

Even in the celestial realm, the beauty of the Flower Fairy is extremely rare.

Gu Qing then remembered that the arrival of the Flower Fairy was because these gods wanted to change Gu Qing's "orientation," and thus said in a daze, "She is the most beautiful celestial fairy I have ever seen."

Upon hearing this, the Bed God, Well God, and Toilet God all laughed heartily.

"I can never repay the fairy's kindness!"

Gu Qing spoke seriously to the Well God, Bed God, and Toilet God.

It wasn't just because the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers changed her "orientation," nor was it just because she agreed to go to the Heavenly Realm to find cultivation techniques; it was simply because her stunning beauty was so captivating that it stole Xu Xian's attention, causing him and Bai Suzhen to miss their first meeting. For Gu Qing, this was all a good thing.
