In view of the severity of this incident, I hadn’t been out for a long time. Bai Qingqing was my spy for the time being, and she was responsible for sticking around everywhere in order to get information for me. According to the latest reports, all people in Fangzhu Mountain were still depressed, and the admirers of the emperor were still very angry. They came to Qinghua garden from time to time to spy on me. In a word, I was not safe at that time!

One day, Bai Qingqing and I changed back into foxes and basked in the garden.

I pulled a stalk of green foxtail and held it in my mouth, feeling most bored.

“My sister, how long do you think this situation will last?” I looked at Bai Qingqing and asked.

Bai Qingqing glanced at me, but didn’t talk to me. She only rubbed the grass under her claws, conjured up a chicken leg out of nowhere and started to eat.

I looked at her doubtfully and asked: “My sister, you’ve already become an immortal and you should never be enticed by the food in the mortal world.”

Bai Qingqing glanced at me and suddenly gave a funny cackle: “You don’t understand. My chicken leg is not a common one. It is not brought back from the mortal world. It’s an authentic chicken leg produced in heaven!”

I twitched my mouth, spat out the green foxtail and asked: “Is it extorted from the kitchen god again?”

Seeing that Bai Qingqing nodded triumphantly, I felt deeply sad for the kitchen god. What a poor fairy! In order to get rid of Bai Qingqing, the notorious windbag in heaven, he must prepare the unique chicken for Bai Qingqing all the time. It was estimated that the chickens on the farm of heaven were almost extinct.

Bai Qingqing began to eat it with great relish, and I was drooling over her chicken leg. I was a fox anyway, but I had promised Bai Xiaoshan that I would not eat a piece of chicken in my whole life. How cruel such a promise was to me!

I looked up at the golden sun, tears sparkling in my eyes. All of a sudden, I felt the temperature suddenly dropped. I was bathed in the warm sunshine, but I couldn’t feel the warmth at all.

I looked at Bai Qingqing. Before I could ask her why, I saw the chicken leg in her hand suddenly fall to the ground and her face suddenly changed. She said to me: “Take care, my sister. I have to leave now!” And then she quickly ran away.

I was surprised at the speed of Bai Qingqing. And at that time I saw a huge green snake in front of me, with glittering and translucent green luster all over its body. The snake’s head was high and its tail was also sticking up to the sky. It was slowly moving in front of me at that moment.

I stared and finally realized why Bai Qingqing ran away in such a hurry. I was just about to follow her when I suddenly found that there was a layer of transparent ice in front of me, and my legs also felt the coolness. I turned my eyes and had to admit that I was frozen completely.

Whoops! I didn’t want to be an ice sculpture! Bai Qingqing, you were so unkind! You bad fox! I wailed in my heart with tears rolling in my frozen eyes.

The green snake seemed to hear my howl. Its head suddenly turned towards me, with a pair of green snake eyes staring straight at me.

Would it kill me with its big eyes? I thought sadly in my heart.

The green snake turned its direction and began to move towards me. It spat out its tongue very slowly and made a “hissing” noise. I wanted to cry. I was a fox. Did snakes eat foxes?

“My lady!” At that moment, I heard the gentle voice of Fairy Willow. Tears filled my eyes again and I knew I was going to be saved.

Fairy Willow came to me in a hurry. With a little magic she practiced, the ice layer that froze me cracked. I shook the water on my body and changed back to the human form. Without saying anything, I ran to Fairy Willow and charged bitterly: “Fairy Willow, you must take her to the prison! She wanted to eat me!”

“Don’t be afraid, my lady!” Fairy Willow said softly and patted me on the back. She gently pushed me away, turned around and greeted that snake: “I am honored to meet you here, Fairy Qianbi!”

I was surprised. Looking back, I found that the green snake had disappeared, and in front of me there was a stunning woman in green clothes, but she was expressionless all the time.

After hearing the words of Fairy Willow, Fairy Qianbi still had no reaction. She just looked at me casually and went directly to Richu Yard.

“Fairy Willow, she…”

“My lady, she is Fairy Qianbi in Richu Yard. Today is the day that Fairy Qianbi plans to come out. I was so careless that you were frightened by her. Your practice is not enough, and you should stay away from her.” Fairy Willow said.

So, after Bai Qingqing, I saw another strange fairy in Qinghua Garden. It was said that Fairy Qianbi had been an immortal for 200 years, but she spent 199 years practicing in her chamber.

As for the reason, I would explain it in detail.

Fairy Qianbi was a hardworking snake before she became a fairy. It took her 3,000 years to become an immortal. After entering heaven, she was still a studious fairy. She began to practice the excellent magic of the snake clan, “the Ice Magic Skill”, as soon as she became a fairy. Unfortunately, although she had become a fairy, it was still difficult to master this excellent magic.

For 200 years since she became a fairy, Fairy Qianbi had lived in constant seclusion, practice and failure.
