Xiaoyi slept very soundly despite her troubles.
The next day, Xiaoyi and the rest set off to locate Qing Hua Mountain.
All their plan to locate the mountain was all to no avail.
"Princess, are you sure it is Qing Hua Mountain, Liao Man asked breathing heavily.
It was obvious everyone was tired from walking around the whole city.
"Maybe, the name changed, Liu Jin said and snatched the water bag from Liao Man who made an angry face at him but had no intention of collecting it back.
Lu Yi was however thinking about something else.
"When we asked the old woman just now, she said there is only Qing Yu Mountain where people go to pray for marriage. Do you guys think this two mountain are connected, Lu Yi spoke after a while.
"Right, why didn't I think of that, we will go there tomorrow, Xiaoyi said yawning lazily.
They all returned to Slice of Spice.
Lu Yi and Liu Jin was about to make their way to their room when Xiaoyi stopped them.
"Don't you think we should plan for tomorrow, Xiaoyi asked despite her tired face.
Xiaoyi drew a rough map and started her analysis.
"Tomorrow, I will act as Liao Man mother tomorrow. Liu Jin will act as Liao Man's husband. I will act as a mother who is opposing their marriage, Xiaoyi said with her hand on her chin.
"Is this your stupid plan, Lu Yi asked frustrated.
"Tomorrow, Xiaoyi and I will act as a couple. Liu Jin, you and Liao Man should wait here to await our news. If we are not back before sunset, come find us, Lu Yi said and Liu Jin and Liao Man nodded in affirmation.
"Is that all, Lu Yi asked before entering his room while Liu Jin followed suit.
The next day, Xiaoyi woke up quite early.
"Lu Yi, are you in, Xiaoyi asked knocking repeatedly.
"What's the problem, Lu Yi asked opening the door after a while.
"I have thought about it. Since we are going to be acting as couples then we should make some amendment.
Today, you should call me Yi'er while I call you A'yi. Also, I need to bring you somewhere, Xiaoyi said and immediately grabbed Lu Yi's hand to a popular clothing store 'Look Glamorous'.
"Boss, I need the best dress, couple outfit, Xiaoyi said and immediately intertwined her hand with Lu Yi who completely ignored her presence.
"Young Lady, you are here just right. Mulberry Silk is still in store. Do you wish to check it out, the lady in the shop said and began to show Xiaoyi around the shop.
''How much is this, Xiaoyi asked stopping in front of a dress.
"Young Lady, you have good taste, it cost 5 taels of gold, the lady said with a pleasant smile.
"5 taels of gold is too expensive, don't you think so, Xiaoyi said and laughed awkwardly.
"How about 2 taels of gold, Xiaoyi said with a pleading face.
"No, it is made of Mulberry Silk. The money does not even cover for transportation, the woman complained.
A lady voice was heard from behind.
"I'll pay 6 taels of gold, the arrogant voice sounded.
Xiaoyi and Lu Yi inquisitively turned back to see a beautiful lady fully dressed.
"Yo, it is Miss Yanhui, the shop owner said with a smile.
"Since they can't afford it, then I'll buy it, Yanhui said in an imposing aura.
"How do you know we can't afford it. Lady boss, pack it, Xiaoyi said with a childish smile.
"I won't let you snatch it away, Xiaoyi thought.
The lady boss naturally did not want to make loss.
"Young Lady, can you pay 6 taels of gold then, the lady boss asked while Yanhui was smiling.
"Alright then, Xiaoyi said and made the payment.
Xiaoyi and Lu Yi changed into their respective outfit.
"You look charming this way, Xiaoyi said admiring Lu Yi after he came out.
"I've always looked charming, Lu Yi said narcissistically.
"You don't look bad as well, Lu Yi complemented Xiaoyi before making his way to the door.
They finally arrived at Qing Yu Mountain after a while.
The mountain was desolate.
Dry leaves were seen on the floor and it was obvious it hasn't been cleaned for a long time.
The chirping of a bird and the dropping of water was continuously heard.
Though it was not yet winter, the mountain was cold and high. It was a romantic place to appreciate scenery but a simple mistake could lead to fall.
"One can never survive if one falls from here, Xiaoyi's voice echoed in the deserted mountain.
She gulped nervously while Lu Yi was moving towards the door when the door suddenly opened.
