Education Expert Goddess Xi He

After seeing Bai Li reintroduce Lou Yueming to the reincarnated Immortal Emperor Shuhua, Bai Qiuran withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention to that world.

After instructing the Three Venerables and Yanluo on some details regarding the construction of the Far Shore Void Life and Death Reincarnation, he removed his mask, changed back into his original attire, boarded the Void Airship, left the Underworld Ghost Realm, and headed to the Central Immortal Realm.

The flying boat carried them all the way to the Central Immortal Realm, to the Haoting Xiaodu Heaven, outside the residence of Daoist Qingming and Liu Shi.

Before coming here, Bai Qiuran had not informed his master and Master's Wife in advance. Therefore, after getting off the flying boat, Bai Qiuran and his family arrived at the residence of Daoist Qingming and knocked on the door. Only a doorman came out to open the door.

"I am a disciple of Daoist Qingming."

Bai Qiuran asked the doorman, "Excuse me, where is Master Qingmingzi currently?"

"The master is still at work."

The doorman and the pageboy looked at the sky and replied, "At this time of day, it's probably the busiest time for them. Madam isn't home either; she's at work."

"Then... what about Bai Xuxiang?"

Bai Qiuran to ask.

"The young lady has been sent to the Goddess Xi He."

The doorman replied, "Miss is always mischievous, and we can't keep an eye on her. Master and Madam are also afraid that she'll run around and offend the other immortals and gods of Haoting Xiaodu Heaven."

Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan exchanged a glance, and a sense of helplessness as parents welled up in their hearts at the same time.

It seems that sending Bai Xuxiang to Liu Shi and Qingmingzi's place hasn't changed her mischievous and willful nature... It turns out that the early childhood education expert his master boasted about was just bragging.

After bidding farewell to the doorman, Bai Qiuran and his party arrived at the Three-Legged Crow Palace.

Having previously visited this place and soaked in the famous Foundation Establishment Pool of the Immortal Realm, Bai Qiuran had a very deep impression of this place. Therefore, he also remembered where the palace where the Three-Legged Crow lived was located in Haoting Xiaodu Heaven.

After the Goddess Xi He moved the divine tree Fusang to the Immortal Realm to support the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Central Immortal Realm, she did not go into seclusion alone, but lived in the Three-Legged Crow Palace. Therefore, Bai Qiuran and the others did not need to search for the Goddess Xi He's residence.

Upon arriving outside the Three-Legged Crow Palace, the group bumped into the Three-Legged Crow returning from outside. Seeing Bai Qiuran and the others, the Three-Legged Crow greeted them happily.

"Oh, Marshal Bai, and Lan'er, Jinyao, Ruowei, and this must be Xiangxue, indeed, she is quite elegant."

She took Jiang Lan's hand and smiled, "Have you come to see your daughter?"

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"Let's put those matters aside for now and come back to see how Xuxiang is doing here."

"That little girl is practicing calligraphy under her mother's supervision right now."

The Three-Legged Crow beckoned to them.

"Come on, I'll show you what they're doing now."

The group followed the Three-Legged Crow to a room in her palace. Standing in the courtyard, they could clearly see the Goddess Xi He and Bai Xuxiang sitting inside through the window.

Bai Xuxiang was sitting on a high chair, her upper body leaning on the table, holding a calligraphy brush in her hand, writing something stroke by stroke on a piece of white paper.

However, her feet kept swinging restlessly, and her upper body was clearly not as still as she appeared. The little girl's face, forehead, hands, and sleeves were covered in ink stains, and it was unclear how she got them there.

Even when being watched by the Goddess Xi He, the little girl was still restless. Her big, dark eyes would dart around from time to time. When the Goddess Xi He wasn't paying attention, she would either scratch her face or other parts of her body, or put down her pen and reach out to grab and play with other things on the table.

While Bai Xuxiang was figuring things out, the Goddess Xi He was right beside her, calmly drinking a cup of tea without making a sound, as if she were oblivious to Bai Xuxiang's mischievous antics.

Bai Qiuran and her group of parents found it interesting to occasionally observe their daughter's studies, so they didn't come in to disturb her, but instead stayed outside the window to watch quietly.

After a long time, Bai Xuxiang finally finished copying her homework for the day. She cheered, jumped off the chair, and moved like a shadow, skimming the ground until she reached the Goddess Xi He. She said to her, "Grandma, I've finished today's homework."

The Goddess Xi He Xihe hummed in agreement and put down her teacup.

"Can I go out and play now?"

Bai Xuxiang looked at her expectantly.

"Don't rush."

The Goddess Xi He's expression was like that of a kindergarten or elementary school Homeroom Teacher. She pulled Bai Xuxiang in front of her, held her small hand, and asked softly, "What did I say to you before you started practicing calligraphy?"

"No slacking off, you must finish writing diligently within one hour."

Bai Xuxiang repeated it softly, then protested, "I didn't daydream!"

"You just touched the inkstone on the table thirteen times, looked out the window fifteen times, and scratched at the carvings on the table with your fingernails twenty-seven times."

The Goddess Xi He Xihe said gently, "Also, I gave you an hour to finish writing it. How long did it take you?"

"One and a half hours..."

"I'm giving you plenty of time. If you don't get distracted and just write diligently, you'll have finished long ago."

The Goddess Xi He took out a ruler from her sleeve and said to Bai Xuxiang, "Come on, put your hand out."

Bai Xuxiang's eyes immediately filled with tears, but the Goddess Xi He was heartless when it came to teaching and ignored her.

She held Bai Xuxiang's small hand and counted for her. "Ten for daydreaming, ten for not finishing writing on time, ten for poor posture, and twenty for lying to me, for a total of fifty."

After saying this, the Goddess Xi He raised her ruler and began to strike Bai Xuxiang's hand repeatedly.

She controlled her strength very well, enough to make Bai Xuxiang feel pain without actually hurting her. She was clearly very experienced. When the Goddess Xi He struck Bai Xuxiang's palm, Bai Qiuran keenly noticed that Jiang Lan and the Three-Legged Crow beside her Consciousness clenched their fists.

He found it somewhat amusing. The Three-Legged Crow was one thing, but this goddess was now cheerful and generous, so he could imagine that she must have been a bit mischievous when she was young. However, he did not expect that Jiang Lan, who now appeared to be a virtuous wife Goddess Xi He being naughty when she was young.

After being beaten, Bai Xuxiang sniffled as the Goddess Xi He led her out by the hand. As they walked, Goddess Xi He said to her, "Look, your clothes are stained with ink. When you get home tonight, wash them yourself. Don't let your Granny Liu Shi wash your clothes, understand?"

Bai Xuxiang nodded, sobbing slightly.

Stepping outside, the Goddess Xi He was astonished to find a large crowd gathered at the entrance.

"Marshal Bai, Lan'er, and everyone else, when did you arrive here?"

"We've just arrived."

Bai Qiuran greeted her, saying, "It's been a long time, Goddess Xi He."

"Mother!"

Upon seeing Jiang Lan, Bai Xuxiang rushed into her mother's arms and burst into tears.
