The Legend of the White Snake(6.2)

Chapter 6.2 Bai & Xu created a rift

After seeing off Xu Xian, peace returned to the Bai mansion's garden. The drummers were busy watering the flowers and loosening the soil, while Xiaoqing thought about the immobilization technique she had been practicing recently. She formed a spell in her hand and threw it at Gui Bao.

"Immobilize!"

Gui Bao's hand, which was watering the flowers, froze. He immediately became motionless. Xiaoqing was pleased with herself and continued to chant the spell. "Immobilize! Immobilize! Immobilize!"

All four demons were immobilized, unable to move. Xiaoqing laughed triumphantly, "This immobilization technique isn't that difficult to learn. I can learn anything I want with my gifted intelligence!"

Da Qian flattered, "The boss is mighty. Can you release me from this spell now?"

Xiaoqing put her hands behind her back, satisfied with the sight of Da Qian sweating heavily. "Can't move, are you tired?"

Da Qian frowned, "Yes, I'm tired."

Xiaoqing asked, "Is it hard work?"

Da Qian replied, "Very hard."

Xiaoqing proudly declared, "That's right. When that stinky rat comes out later, I'll immobilize him and let him bask in the sun here for a day. Let's see how he can still act arrogantly."

Just then, Jing Song and Bai Su Zhen walked out of the garden together. Xiaoqing was delighted and immediately threw a spell at Jing Song. "Immobilize!"

Jing Song stiffened for a moment, and Xiaoqing's eyes lit up. However, Jing Song quickly walked over as if nothing had happened. Xiaoqing was puzzled and used the spell again. "Immobilize! Immobilize!" But it didn't work.

Just then, an ant crawled into Da Qian's nose, and his nose began to itch. He sneezed hard, causing Aluo to lose his balance. The four of them stumbled and fell into a pile.

Xiaoqing was confused, "Weren't you all immobilized? What's going on?"

Aluo whispered, "Quickly, what shape did I take just now? Let's get back into position!"

All four demons quickly took their previous immobilized positions. Bai Su Zhen chuckled, and Jing Song gave a dismissive look.

Bai Su Zhen asked, "What is Xiaoqing doing?"

Jing Song explained, "She's probably playing the game we played when we were 300 years old, pretending to be proficient in spells. It's not easy to take care of these four old monsters who are as shallow in their actions as they are in their words."

Xiaoqing was so angry that she jumped up and down. "Who do you think is shallow in their actions and words, you stinky rat? Stop right there! Immobilize! Immobilize!"

However, Jing Song had already walked away, and the four demons quickly ran away.

The rooster crowed, and the first rays of morning light shone down. The densely packed houses in Lin'an City were covered in a soft morning glow.

Jin Ruyi's bed was piled with luxurious clothes. She held a set of clothes and compared them to herself in the bronze mirror.

"Yin Xiang, do I look good in this outfit?"

Yin Xiang nodded, "You look good."

"But don't you think this clothes is too flashy and doesn't fit my elegant temperament?"

Yin Xiang quickly picked up another garment. "Then how about this light-colored one?"

Jin Ruyi was unhappy, "This style is from last year. Didn't I tell you to throw away all my old clothes? Why did you keep this one?"

Yin Xiang replied, "Miss, I did throw them away according to your instructions, but the master picked them up the next day."

Jin Ruyi pouted, thinking, "My father is really too much. He can't bear to throw away a few clothes! Look, how about this one?"

"Miss, you look good in everything! It's late now. If you keep fussing like this, we might be late for the event," Yin Xiang reminded her.

Jin Ruyi thought to herself, "Today is not an ordinary day. How can I dress casually?"

White Su Zhen was also worried about what to wear. She barely understood the etiquette of the mortal world and was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Xu Xian's family.

Xiaoqing said on the side, "Sister, there are many rules for guests coming to visit in the mortal world! You have to dress nicely, or you'll be seen as disrespecting the host."

Jing Song raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You know the word 'rules'?"

Xiaoqing retorted, "Of course! Do you think I'm like you, who only knows how to dig holes and do nothing else?"

Bai Su Zhen was annoyed by their bickering and interrupted, "Can you two be quiet for a day? You've been arguing since early this morning. Xiaoqing, help me pick out a dress."

Xiaoqing was proud, "Sister, you've come to the right person! When it comes to eating, drinking, playing, dressing up, and other things, I rank second. No one dares to rank first!"

However, Da Qian whispered to the others, "I think Miss Bai can pick any dress with her eyes closed. Don't let the boss touch her clothes..." Before he could finish, the others covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Jing Song couldn't help but laugh, causing Xiaoqing to glare at him, "What are you laughing at?"

Jing Song remained silent, and with a wave of his hand, his clothes transformed into luxurious silk garments, with a white fan in his hand, adding to his elegance. A Luo beside him saw Jing Song's charming appearance and immediately had heart-eyes.

Xiao Qing refused to be outdone, and with a quick gesture, she was transformed from head to toe into a shining new outfit.

Bai Suzhen looked pleased at the newly dressed duo and nodded in approval. "Good, I ask for your help."

Xiao Qing threw a spell towards Bai Suzhen, and with a flash of gold, Bai Suzhen also changed into a new outfit, radiant and luxurious.

Jing Song couldn't help but block his eyes and say, "Such ostentation is unbearable."

He immediately cast a spell, and with a flash of gold, Bai Suzhen changed into a plain white outfit, as pure as a lotus flower.

Jing Song waved his fan, satisfied with his creation.

Xiao Qing sneered and rolled her eyes. "Are we going to a funeral or a party? Aren't you afraid of bad luck dressing your sister like that?"

Jing Song angrily retorted, "Fine, watch this!"

He cast another spell, and a colorful piece was added to Bai Suzhen's white outfit.

Xiao Qing nonchalantly said, "Hmph, I can do that too!"

Xiao Qing cast a spell and added a pearl hairpin to Bai Suzhen's hair. Jing Song wasn't to be outdone and cast a spell to produce a silver hairpin. Xiao Qing then produced a pair of jade bracelets, and Jing Song produced a pair of earrings. After several rounds, Bai Suzhen was adorned with numerous bracelets, necklaces, and hairpins, resembling a human jewelry stand.

Bai Suzhen laughed and said, "Have you had enough?"

She cast a spell, and all the cluttered jewelry disappeared.

Suddenly, she remembered something and cast another spell.

With a flash of gold, her outfit changed into the one she wore when she met Xu Xian on the day of the Yuan Festival.

Jing Song expressed his admiration with a stunned look.

Xiao Qing, feeling defeated, was a little unwilling. She looked at Bai Suzhen and said, "Sister, customs for visiting Lin'an City may be different from those in Western Sichuan. Would you be willing to follow local customs?"

Bai Suzhen nodded earnestly.

Xiao Qing, feeling triumphant, looked at Jing Song and whispered in her ear, "Okay, follow me, I'll teach you."

Jing Song turned his head in disdain and walked away.
