When Li Ming woke up in the morning she found the two jars full of blue pixie dust sitting beside her.

The forest area surrounding the pond was too quiet for her liking which made her question if the place was deprived of any wildlife even though it only consisted of forests, mountains, water bodies, and plains. A perfect place for wildlife.

As far as her sight and hearing power could work, she didn't found a single shadow of any kind of wildlife.

There was also no trace of the Immortal Deity. He probably left during the night time.

Li Ming was still confused about why a stranger came all the way just to help her. But she had so many important tasks to handle, therefore she decided to focus on those tasks and pushed the stranger Immortal and his visit in a locker at the very back of her mind.

She plucked out all the nine stones from their respective flowers and stored them in a box with nine columns made of red silk. The box was locked with a powerful enchantment and she safely kept the box in the spell room.

She also collected the lotus petals of the flowers before they dropped in the water and left Xiao Tiantang to meet with the pixies.

Her body was once again fully energized as she felt the spiritual energy flowing inside her. The Divine Lotus Flower had transferred a lot of qi in her body during the hours she slept.

That day Li Ming spent all her time with the pixies. She divided a few of them into different pairs and sent them to collect all the ingredients needed to make the other pixie dusts.

With the help of Alvina, Snowy, and Little Fox, she poured a little bit of blue pixie dust in one of the huge and strong trees in the Xiao Tiantang, standing at the other end of the pond.

The miracle where a normal oak tree changed into a magical one, was breathtaking. It's branches expanded and became thicker. A platform formed in the very heart of the tree where pint after pint, golden pixie dist started dropping in a pool. The tree was shinning in a golden glow.

Alvina assigned two pixies to pack the golden pixie dust into small packages made of leaves.

It took them a few trials to realize that the new golden pixie dust was more powerful than normal. It was basically due to the fact that the Blue Pixie Dust was made from the Moonstone that had a huge amount of spiritual qi in it.

It took the pixies only a few hours before they returned with all the required ingredients. For the rest of the day, Li Ming helped them in creating the new pixie dusts.

Li Ming had made all of them invisible before sending them out in the Thundering Peaks so that they could avoid dangers.

They found the sunflower seeds, dew drops, and the essence of flowers from the front garden of the mansion. And the purple feather and eggshells could be easily found in the Thundering Peaks. As for the green rock, Li Ming used a Fuchsite that she found in one of the terrariums that had broken a few days ago.

By the time they finished, it was past 7 in the evening. They had made enough pixie dust to last for about a few months. Just like the golden pixie dust the others were also more powerful than the normal ones.

The next day, Li Ming also spent most of her morning in making sure that the pixies were comfortably settled inside their new home.

They were allowed to stay inside the Xiao Tiantang and at the same time, they could also use the backyard of the mansion as their home.

Their only job was to make sure that both Xiao Tiantang and her mansion would be surrounded by nature and it's beauty.

The pixies took over the care of nature and started with their duties immediately. They were delighted beyond words to once again perform their duties and in other words, you could call it magic.

If Li Ming was the Master of Xiao Tiantang and Magical Mansion, then the Little Fox and Snowy were their Guardians respectively. And now the Little pixies became the Caretakers of both.

After the mission 'Help Little Pixies' was finally successfully over, Li Ming returned back to Dongji Village. For the rest of the day, she looked at the progress of the children at the orphanage and made sure that everything was going perfectly there.

She also visited the fields to take a look at the crops and vegetables. The fruit trees were in their full bloom and ready to bear their first fruits.

By the end of the day, she had more or less completed her survey of the Dongji Village and teleported to the Black Jade Inn.

The first person that greeted her was none other than Ruoshan. For the past few weeks, she wanted to ask something important to Ruoshan but didn't get a chance.

It was finally the time when she should get her answers. She knew that Zhang Yong would not leave them alone. So she took Ruoshan to the only place where the Forth Prince could not follow them - the magical mansion.

"Is there something wrong?" Ruoshan asked her as soon as they appeared in the front garden of the mansion.

Li Ming looked at the Silver-hair Immortal as she stretched her right hand towards him. Her palm facing upwards. "Can I have the Location Hiding Charm back please?"

"Oh, you are going to recharge it." Ruoshan sighed out in relief as he realized that she was not in some problem. He took out the Red stone from his sleeve and placed it on her small palm.

"No. I'm not going to charge it. Actually, I forgot to tell you something. It's not the Location Hiding Charm." She said while looking directly in his eyes.

Ruoshan could feel that something wasn't right. He raised his eyebrows in question at her words. What did she mean by that?

"Actually that day when I first give you this charm, I was in so much hurry and because of that, I gave you the wrong charm. Rather than the Location Hiding Charm, it was a normal protection charm. But because the two looks almost identical, I didn't realize my mistake until you returned it back to me the next morning to recharge it." Li Ming stopped to take a deep breath and glanced at Ruoshan.

The Immortal was staring right at her but his face was devoid of any expression. His eyes also didn't give away his true emotions.

"I was surprised to know that in those entire five hours where you were not under the Location Hiding Protection Charm, none of your enemies tried to get to you. After thinking about it a lot, I decided to confirm my doubts. The next day, I took off all the protection charms from you but made sure that the tattoo on your wrist won't disappear. I kept you in my close proximity so that I can take you inside the mansion if something happened but surprisingly...nothing happened. No one attacked you. But I still didn't want to doubt you. For two more days, I repeated the same thing and got the same result. I finally realized that my suspicions were actually more or less right. It's been too many days since you are left unprotected and your location can be traced but I can't see those enemies of yours. Can you explain it?" Li Ming asked.

She wanted the answers. After all, she trusted him enough to let him stay in her mansion. He was more or less aware of all her businesses and daily life. She would burn him alive if he even came any close to the thought of betraying her.

But to her utter disappointment and frustration, he remained silent. Just looking at her with his empty eyes.

Li Ming rubbed her forehead and took a deep breath before saying, "So you are not going to answer. Ok! Until or unless you are ready to answer the question, you are not allowed to enter the mansion. Due to some unknown reason, I can't stop you from coming and going out of here at your will but I'll soon find a way."

Li Ming looked in his eyes as she said, "I just wanna know why?"

********

The same question she had asked the previous day and once again she repeated it.

Ruoshan snuggled his face in the crook of her shoulder as he inhaled her light lilac and honey-like fragrance.

He pulled himself back a little and looked at the girl who although was angry at him but still didn't try to push him away. A small twitch appeared on his lips.

"I think you deserve to know the answers. Let me take you somewhere."

The next second the silhouette of both Ruoshan and Li Ming disappeared from the spell room, leaving a gust of purple smoke behind which vanished into thin air the very next second.

*******

(No one could enter the Magical Mansion without Li Ming's permission. Even though these Immortal Deities could enter into Xiao Tiantang but they couldn't pass through the portal which opened into the backyard. Ruoshan was the only one who could enter and leave the magical mansion at his will, but that's a story for another time!)
