After hearing that she was allowed to leave, Wawa could no longer contain her excitement even though there were stay days until our departure. She began to wrap and pack everything. Everything and anything were literally thrown together, she says, “During my practical assessment in the mortal realm, I worked as a maid. That wealthy family was really strict, my days there passed by bitterly. I wasn’t even allowed to leave the doors, and also, the perverted young masters would come and harass me which annoyed me to death. This time, I will must fully enjoy myself and have some fun.”
Jin Wen who was next to her stared with contempt, “With the two of you gone, I can have myself a relaxing and leisurely break.”
Afterwards, she went up to Wawa and made a retorted sound, and then left to the kitchen to prepare supper. I went to Xiaolin to get him to open up the treasury for me so I could look at the glittering gems within it and pick some for Yin Zi.
During these lively days of packing and making preparations for the impending trip, Bi Qingshen Jun has come to check up on us several times, making sure that we haven’t missed anything. He’s also prepared a few gifts for Bull Devil Gege and Luo Sha sis-in-law saying that they’re gifts of good will, as well as written a letter thanking the couple for their past kindness.
I let Wawa take good care of the gifts and letters. Before our departure, the 78 unusually large numbers of parcels that were packed had been reduced to only three, and only then could I feel at ease and sleep.
While half awake and half dreaming, Wawa repeatedly and quietly asked, “Those lower realm monsters, are they easy to interact with? How do they pass their days in the forests? The juggling and plays you saw the last time you went for your practical assessment in the mortal realm, can they still be seen? Those peasant farmers working in the field, how does it work? The books say that emperors all live in beautiful palaces, how do they compare to the ones in the heavenly realm?”
As more and more questions arrived, the more tired we got, and eventually, we fell asleep. Only until the sun had risen did we realise that the meeting time had already passed. We hurriedly washed and ate our meal, grabbed our parcels, and headed off to the Moonlit Forests.
In a section of the verdant green forest, by the forest edge’s cliff and boundless seas, was the way down to the mortal realm. And Yin Zi? He who had been waiting, had a forehead full of cold sweat, and seeing me arrive shortly after, hastily rushed forward to ask, “You didn’t happen to encounter any troubles, right?”
“Nope.” I smiled and waved my hands, and then pulled over Wawa and said, “She’s coming with us.”
Wawa stared shyly at the ground, and then gave Yin Zi an admirable glance. She bowed to give her greetings, and commended, “Jiejie* you look really pretty.”
*Jiejie is used usually to address an elder sister, or to politely refer to any female older than you, while Gege is used to refer to an elder brother, or any males older than you.
I then immediately discovered that Yin Zi’s entirely expression had frozen stiff. Ahahahaha!!! Miao Miao is about to die of laughter!!
