Sha Ling couldn't cry until the end.

Because, some indescribable sense of healing made her suddenly feel that even if she failed to overcome the tribulation, it would not matter.

You can try to break through later, but the feeling of being cared about and watched is the only one.

——The "warmth" I experienced from Razina was a bit cold, similar to the feeling of maternal love.

Although the little girl has never felt mother's love.

…

At this moment, she was already on her way to Jinghua Tianyu to attend the "dessert banquet" under the warm invitation of Mu Qing and Xia Lianxing.

Qin Shiyin was also pulled over.

Razina watched them leave and told Sha Ling that she could come to her at any time.

Unfortunately, Xiaolu, who also wanted to express his gratitude to her, received completely different treatment...

It seems that apart from little girls, Razina is not interested in any of her descendants——

Under Mu Qing's initiative to chat, she just glanced briefly, then turned around and returned to the cave.

Not a word was said.

This makes Xiaolu extremely sad:

"As expected, even seniors don't like me."

"No one likes me."

She made a sad face and sniffed as she walked. No matter how Maomao and Shiyin coaxed her, it had no effect...

Xiao Sha Ling, who was originally in a bad mood due to the failure of her breakthrough, saw Mu Qing in such a state and put her frustration aside for the time being. Instead, she comforted her:

"No, on purpose."

Obviously, she was referring to Razina.

"Hmm! That senior probably doesn't like talking to others..."

Xia Lianxing also nodded repeatedly, trying to stop Xiaolu from taking it seriously.

Perhaps because she is used to being left out, Mu Qing has no sense of security in interpersonal relationships.

Except for her master, she really felt that no one liked her. Even if she was saved by her senior, it might just be due to the constraints of her identity...it was not like the other party's original intention at all.

"well."

She sighed softly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved.

"Oh, let's go, let's eat something sweet and it won't feel bad. I'll go play with Little Bu later."

Maomao took her arm and kissed her cheek affectionately.

The girl's cheeks touched together, and the soft touch made Mu Qing feel refreshed, and the haze in her heart suddenly disappeared.

On the other hand, although Sha Ling wanted to express more about Razina's poor communication skills, it was too complicated to explain and tiring to organize the language, so she simply gave up the explanation.

She naively thought that Mu Qing was so smart that she should be able to figure it out on her own.

——

After a while.

The group of people walked through the tree-lined stone road and were transported to the interior of the Jinghua Tianyu Cave through the formation eye of the "Six Paths of Ten Thousand Flowers Confused Spirits Formation".

At this time, Cang Lan was placing plates at the long table in the central hall, and Bai Xue was standing on the other side of the table with a pale face to help, but it could be seen that she was obviously in a bad state.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the two women immediately stopped what they were doing and said hello to Sha Ling first:

"Hello, Senior Xiao Ling."

"Ah, okay."

The two of them didn't know what had just happened inside Fenghua Mountain, so they just saluted as usual in order of status.

However, Sha Ling, the second generation, is not too particular about these etiquettes. For her, as long as the younger generations don't treat her like a child, that's fine.

At this moment, her eyes were completely attracted to a white kitten on the ground that was carefully mopping the floor with a rag in its front paws...

"Ah. Another cat."

Looking at the lovely being with pure white fur without blinking an eye, Sha Ling curiously ran to her and knelt down so that she could look at her up close.

"Senior Xiao Ling, you have been in seclusion during this period, so you have missed a lot of things that happened recently..."

Xia Lianxing, who was behind him, reminded him in a low voice.

"oh oh."

Before Sha Ling could ask anything, she saw the little white cat suddenly stopped moving, turned to her in a very humane posture, sat upright, made a "meow" sound, and uttered human words:

"Hello, senior, I am Yuan Xiaobu~ Please give me your advice in the future!"

"Ah. Cute."

As if she had a special preference for cats, Sha Ling subconsciously stretched out her index finger to poke the white cat, but suddenly remembered that she couldn't do this, so she withdrew her arm in the middle of the action and just nodded to her.

"Xiao Bu."

"Hehe! Yes! Seniors, enjoy your afternoon tea. Xiaobu has some work to do, so he's going to do it first."

After raising the cat's paw to Sha Ling and bending it slightly, Yuan Xiaobu picked up the rag again.

She seems to like to move in her cat form, and even when she is mopping the floor, she is more accustomed to using her body to do it.

Seeing the cat's serious and well-behaved appearance, Xia Lianxing couldn't help but said:

"Xiaobu, why don't you come and have some desserts too... You can do your work later."

She knew that Yuan Xiaobu had undertaken all the cleaning work since he discovered that he had no talent for cooking.

Having done some cleaning work herself, she understands that this job requires a lot of time and energy. Every time she cleans it thoroughly, she will be too tired to get out of bed...

After hearing this, Sha Ling also agreed:

"Yeah, um. Together."

But the cat shook its head repeatedly and declined with some embarrassment:

"No, no, I'm very satisfied if I can be taken in by my sister sisters! How can I push myself further!"

"Huh? Not really..."

Big Maomao was about to persuade her again, but she ran into the secret room on one side as if to escape, and went to clean up other rooms first.

"..."

Considering that she might still blame herself for the previous "dark cooking incident", Xia Lianxing sighed helplessly:

"That's all, let her go. I'll just leave a dessert for her to take home tonight."

"OK."

The victim, Bai Xue, clutched her abdomen and nodded with difficulty:

"I'll prepare it for her later."

Even though she was "severely injured" and delayed her practice, she did not hold a grudge against Yuan Xiaobu's unintentional behavior. Instead, she was worried that the other party would not dare to face her...

Xia Lianxing felt very sorry for this.

Afraid that the girl would think too much, Bai Xue smiled softly and changed the subject to everyone:

"Everyone, please sit down and rest first. By the way, the new product that Cang Lan and I jointly prepared for you today is very simple."

"Hmm?! Why isn't it simple?"

Xia Lianxing didn't know what they had prepared. For a moment, she couldn't help but blinked her cat eyes curiously.

"Because it is a tea snack with a difficulty level of 'Heaven Level' in the "Master's Recipe"."

"!!"

"Wow! Is it true?" The girls were shocked when they heard this.

Even Qin Shiyin, who had always been taciturn, had a look of interest on his face.

"Yes, everyone, wait a moment, I will bring the things up with Cang Lan."

Bai Xue's tone was full of confidence, and it was not difficult to guess that this batch of desserts must have been very successful.

"good!"

In the curiosity and expectation of the "mysterious dessert", Mu Qing suppressed her grievances, Sha Ling forgot her worries, and everyone took their seats one after another.

The two women worked hard for a while, and soon, tableware was placed at everyone's seat in the hall——

Neat cutlery, smooth discs, brand new tablecloths without a trace of dirt, and an unknown "dessert" held upside down by an opaque lid.

"Okay, can you open it?"

When the last dessert was placed, Sha Ling had already wrapped a small apron around her body.
