After Du Xiangxiang finished hanging up the clothes, she started to make breakfast using the super versatile crayon that could cook, juice, and even make clothes and do laundry. While eating breakfast, Sun Yan casually turned on the TV. Du Xiangxiang glanced at it, looking shy and fearful, afraid that some unhealthy scenes might appear. However, it was early in the morning, and there were no love dramas. Sun Yan had turned on the local news, which was mostly about leaders visiting rural areas, cutting ribbons, and health inspections with good results.
After a while, a scene appeared on the news, with a young man's portrait in the upper right corner. The news anchor said solemnly, "A heinous incident occurred in the city last night. A woman was walking her dog when a young man suddenly rushed up and snatched her pet."
Next, a woman appeared on the screen, crying, "I was so scared, I immediately called the police. When the officers found my Xiu Xiu, they discovered that he was... this beast, this animal... my poor Xiu Xiu!" She wailed.
The scene changed, and a young man with a scar on his face was being dragged away by the police, shouting, "Let me go, I truly love it, we are in a free relationship..."
At the dining table, Sun Yan and Du Xiangxiang both had their mouths wide open... They recognized this criminal.
It was clearly the same guy who had tried to chat up Fairy Xiangxiang last night, only to be punched by Sun Yan. He later brought seven companions to "coincidentally" meet Sun Yan, but was beaten by Sun Yan, one against eight.
The news anchor continued to report the case, and Du Xiangxiang asked softly, "She said 'rape'... what does that mean?"
Sun Yan cleared his throat, "Rape means that a man, regardless of the woman's wishes, forcefully... does that to her."
Du Xiangxiang's eyes widened, "He was kissing it? He kissed the little dog named Xiu Xiu without its consent?"
Sun Yan said, "Something like that... but it's much worse."
"Is there really such a scumbag, a beast, and a pervert in this world? To do that to a dog..."
Du Xiangxiang's whole body stiffened, "If you hadn't saved me last night, would he have kissed me too?"
Sun Yan nodded, "Very likely."
Du Xiangxiang suddenly turned around, crouching in the corner... "Earth is so dangerous, I want to go back to Mars."
Suddenly, a thunderclap shook the sky, making the entire building tremble.
What happened? It was a sunny morning, why did it suddenly start thundering?
As Sun Yan was thinking, an old voice suddenly echoed in the room, "Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang..."
Du Xiangxiang jumped up, "Grandpa Yue?"
The old voice continued, "Xiangxiang, something bad has happened."
Du Xiangxiang became anxious, "What happened?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words. I'm still in the Heavenly Realm, and my powers are limited. I'll send you a 'thousand-mile voice transmission' magical tool first." As the old man spoke, the air began to ripple.
Sun Yan became excited. The one speaking to Du Xiangxiang in the Heavenly Realm was clearly the Matchmaker she had mentioned. Moreover, he was about to send her a 'thousand-mile voice transmission' magical tool. Sun Yan had only read about magical tools in books and never thought he would have the chance to see one. What would it look like? Would it be a radiant, divine artifact?
The air continued to ripple, and a small, flat, and exquisitely crafted object fell from the void, landing in Du Xiangxiang's hands. She pressed a button and put it to her ear, "Hello, Grandpa Yue?"
Sun Yan looked at the object, speechless... a mobile phone?
You are deities, deities! After all this, the 'thousand-mile voice transmission' magical tool is just a mobile phone? Can you be any more scientific? You are... so disappointing!
"Xiangxiang, something bad has happened!" Grandpa Yue's voice echoed throughout the room, possibly on speaker.
Du Xiangxiang's ears hurt, and she quickly held the phone far away.
"Xiangxiang, listen to me," Grandpa Yue's voice sounded like a frog boiling in a pot, "Yaoyao... Yaoyao, the Imperial Princess, has descended to the mortal world."
Du Xiangxiang was shocked, "Yaoyao? You mean Yaoyao has come to the human world?"
"After she threw you down, no one saw her again. At first, no one thought much of it, but during the morning court yesterday, she didn't appear in the Lingxiao Hall. We checked with the star instrument and found that she wasn't in the Heavenly Realm. She must have used an invisibility spell to follow you down after throwing you," Grandpa Yue said urgently, "Not only that, but a bundle of red strings is missing from my collection."
Du Xiangxiang gasped, "Red strings, Grandpa Yue, you mean the red strings used for matchmaking? Yaoyao stole your red strings?"
"55555..."
"Grandpa Yue, don't cry, please speak quickly!"
A woman's voice came from beside Grandpa Yue, "Matchmaker, calm down, now is not the time to cry." She then said, "Xiangxiang?!"
Du Xiangxiang asked, "Is it Lady Nanyue?"
"Yes," the woman said, "Ziwei Star has moved to the southeast. According to the star chart, Yaoyao, the Imperial Princess, should be in the same city as you. Have you seen her?"
Du Xiangxiang murmured, "No, I haven't!"
"Regardless, you must find her. Descending to the mortal world without permission is illegal. Throwing you down has already violated the heavenly laws, and now she has gone down herself. Moreover, she has stolen a bundle of red strings from the Matchmaker. If she starts randomly tying red strings without following the marriage ledger, it will cause chaos," Lady Nanyue said from the Heavenly Realm, "You must find her no matter what."
Du Xiangxiang said anxiously, "But how can I find her? Yaoyao is a Supreme Immortal and knows the 'flying body and hiding trace' technique. Even if I find her, I can't catch her."
Lady Nanyue said calmly, "Although Yaoyao, the Imperial Princess, is proficient in the 'flying body and hiding trace' and 'nine breaths and qi absorption' techniques from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques, you practice the 'Six Jia Qimen' technique. In terms of finding people, she can't match you. However, Yaoyao, the Imperial Princess, is a celestial immortal who has mastered the Jinhua Shaoyin path, can perform magic without deities or magical tools. You, on the other hand, belong to the Lingbao school and need magical tools to perform magic. I will send down your treasure bag, which contains your magical tools, as well as the Six Ding and Six Jia talismans and Laozi's Diamond Bracelet. Once you find Yaoyao, summon the Six Ding and Six Jia deities to the mortal world and capture her."
The space rippled, and a beautiful small bag fell, landing in Du Xiangxiang's hands.
Lady Nanyue continued, "The Six Ding and Six Jia deities are the guardian deities of our Daoist religion, unaffected by the crystal barrier separating heaven and earth. Once you capture Yaoyao, the Imperial Princess, you can use the deity-commanding technique to order them to forcibly return her to the Heavenly Realm. Just be careful of Yaoyao's 'Golden Light Travel' technique, don't let her escape. If it really doesn't work, use the Diamond Bracelet to knock her out!"
Du Xiangxiang said, "I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Du Xiangxiang put it into the beautiful small bag that had fallen from the sky.
The exquisite bag looked even smaller than the phone, and somehow, the phone disappeared as soon as it was placed inside. She then put her hand into the bag and quickly pulled out a pair of beautiful glasses, which she put on.
The glasses had a pink frame with a cute little peach blossom in the upper right corner.
Sun Yan stared at her... a glasses girl? She is actually a glasses girl?
Tears welled up in his eyes! She is actually a glasses girl... how can I bear to sell her?
Du Xiangxiang, wearing the cute pink glasses, scanned Sun Yan from head to toe, then said angrily, "That damn Yaoyao!"
