The brief awkwardness did not last long, because the Queen Mother had always yearned to see a movie. Women were curious creatures; there was no doubting that. On countless nights spent watching television dramas, she had seen cinemas come up quite often, invariably with a man and a woman visiting together. They were supposedly one of the sacred destinations for dates.
She had not really understood before, but now she did. It seemed she had never been on a date herself. Dongwang Gong had never once visited Kunlun Mountain for tea.
That was quite a disappointment for a girl head over heels in love. Although the Queen Mother came from the relatively isolated Celestial Realm, where marriages had always been arranged by parents and matchmakers, those customs did not seem to apply to her. Innate Divine Beings born and nurtured by heaven and earth could not follow that approach. Apart from the Heavenly Dao-no, apart from Qin Fen meddling a little-no one could interfere with her marriage.
"That sounds like fun!" the Queen Mother said beside him.
Oh, please, don't do this. Big Chef felt miserable. When it came to cinemas, the more he said, the more he wanted to cry. But faced with the Queen Mother's pitiful, stray-cat gaze, he did not seem able to refuse. After all, he really did have too much free time.
"All right!" Qin Fen shrugged. "There's no way the competition will continue today anyway. It's already four thirty. Let's put our equipment away, freshen up, get dinner, and then watch a movie!"
As the man, he still had to make the decision, however helpless he felt.
"Then what are we waiting for?" With that, the Queen Mother picked up Qin Fen's Watcher with one hand. Her strength left his sister-in-law staring in amazement.
