Yun Qingxue looked down at her fingers. Just a moment ago, she had pointed at a chair, and in an instant, it had transformed into a large, round watermelon…
Hmm…
Well, to be honest, she hadn’t even had time to confirm whether the watermelon was truly large and round before it fell to the ground and shattered!
But… she had actually succeeded!!!
A strange, indescribable feeling swelled in her chest.
Beyond the bed curtains, Daise’s face remained puzzled. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked again, “Master, are you sure there’s nothing you need me to do?”
“No,” Yun Qingxue replied calmly.
Daise bit her lower lip and decided to speak plainly. “If you’d like some watermelon, I can go find one for you…”
“No need. I’m tired and don’t want anything. You don’t need to do anything either. Go rest.”
Daise frowned. Though she still felt something was off, she didn’t press further. As a flower demon who had just passed her transformation phase, she had only a rudimentary grasp of minor spells.
Focusing her energy, Daise attempted to use a cleaning spell to tidy the spot on the floor dirtied by the watermelon.
But before she could cast it, the watermelon that had just fallen was gone—replaced by a toppled chair.
Daise rubbed her eyes and frowned, her puzzled gaze shifting toward the bed curtains. The layers of beaded gauze obscured her view of Yun Qingxue’s actions. *Fine!* If her master insisted she wasn’t needed, she would simply stand guard quietly and await further instructions.
Yun Qingxue exhaled deeply, trying to steady her tumultuous emotions. She raised a hand to sweep the loose strands of hair behind her shoulder, and as she did, her fingers brushed against something hard.
Her mood darkened instantly—it was the jade ring Qian Dai had given her.
She untied the jade ring from her neck and held it in her palm, scrutinizing it closely. Yet no matter how she looked, it seemed utterly ordinary.
A wild thought suddenly crossed her mind. *Could this jade ring be transformed into something else using her magic?*
With that in mind, she silently recited an incantation, pointed at the ring, and commanded, “Change!”
The jade ring lay motionless in her palm, completely unchanged.
Had her spell failed? Or was this jade ring impervious to her magic?
Yun Qingxue frowned at the smooth, unyielding ring in her hand.
A’dai cautiously peeked out, his tiny body wriggling slightly, wondering what his master was up to.
“Change!” Yun Qingxue pointed randomly.
A’dai…
*”Sss, sssss~~~”* Master, my tail! What have you done to my adorable tail?!
Frantically flicking his tongue, A’dai shook his tail vigorously at Yun Qingxue.
Yun Qingxue’s body trembled before she burst into laughter. “Hahaha~ A’dai, you look… absolutely hilarious right now.”
*”Sss~ sss~”* Master, what did you do to my tail?! Change it back!
A’dai’s round, pitiful eyes followed Yun Qingxue as she laughed uncontrollably.
*”Sss~”* Master, stop laughing!
Though Yun Qingxue’s face was alight with amusement, her large, watery eyes were even more innocent than A’dai’s.
She hadn’t meant to laugh, but the sight of A’dai wagging his tail—now adorned with a tiny daisy—was simply too absurd!
“Stop… heh… stop moving,” Yun Qingxue managed between giggles.
A’dai stared at her mournfully. If he weren’t a snake, his expression would have been indistinguishable from that of a wronged young bride.
Sensing A’dai’s distress, Yun Qingxue forced herself to sober up. “Stay still. Let me try to fix it.”
*”Sss~”* A’dai’s beady eyes glistened with unshed tears.
*Master~ I don’t want flowers on my tail!*
Gathering her focus, Yun Qingxue channeled her magic and pointed at A’dai’s floral tail. “Change!”
In an instant—just one fleeting moment—the single comical daisy on A’dai’s tail was joined by an identical sibling.
A’dai…
*Wasn’t the plan to restore my cute tail? Why are there now two flowers?! Master, give me back my tail! “Sss”~*
Yun Qingxue: “…Heh… my bad. Total accident. Let me try again!”
“Change!”
Another instant passed, and a third flower bloomed beside the first two.
A’dai…
*Master, you promised to make them disappear! Why is there another one?!*
Yun Qingxue…
Silently, she placed A’dai on the bed and turned to face the wall.
She needed a moment to compose herself.
Every time she looked at A’dai’s ridiculous flowery tail, she couldn’t help but laugh, disrupting her concentration. Instead of removing the flowers, she kept adding more!
*”Sss~”*
Watching his master turn her back on him, A’dai fixed her with a gaze full of betrayal and sorrow. *Master, you haven’t fixed my problem yet!*
*How could a dashing little snake like me possibly strut around with three flowers on my tail?! No way! If I’d known this would happen, I’d have settled for just one flower earlier!*
