"So beautiful..."
Standing on her flying sword, Xiao He flew side by side with Qiao Xiaoqiao through the air. As she watched the scenery slowly unfold like a painted scroll, she could not help marveling at it.
"I've never been inside an immortal sect before. I never imagined one could be this wonderful!"
"The spiritual energy here is so rich, too!"
Qiao Xiaoqiao looked somewhat surprised. "Really?"

Qiao Xiaoqiao rubbed her forehead. Mind the shop... all right, then.
