The spring in MoYunye’s eyes slowly froze up. It was hard to tell if he was staring at the stone statue. His slender fingers trembled, but stopped moving before landing on the gauze. Qianhua could hear him murmured, "It’s been a thousand years. Even I didn’t have the courage to look at her face."
"Just one look, please? … Or… if you really don't like it, you can just share me with some of your spiritual power instead.” Somehow, Qianhua felt it a good chance for her to make a benefit.
As a spirit, Qianhua thought that she would never turn down a chance to gain free spiritual power. But she phrased her thoughts well, "As long as you can give me some spiritual power today, I promise to make this garden full of flowers and plants within half a month! Besides, if Moon Goddess tries to pick on me again, I will definitely get smashed into a hedgehog pie with my weak spiritual power. So Heavenly King, please help me!"
"Deal! Deal! …" Qianhua was over excited about his offer. She almost started dancing around. She believed that if she could search the whole Heavenly realm, it wouldn’t be that hard to find a magic weapon to plant a single flower.
However, before Heavenly King took off with Rain Goddess, she looked back at motivated Qianhua anxiously. She didn’t mean to discourage her, but said with good intentions, "Don’t get too depressed about it if you fail. It is supposed to be like that. "
Although Qianhua smiled and nodded, she was totally unwilling to give in.

So she got up and left her bedroom. She took a walk circling a large hexagonal lotus pond about three times. There was no lotus in the pond. The moonlight shined on the stone statue near the water and reflected a blurry colored rainbow. There were glimmers on the rainbow edge, which looked like fallen petals.
Qianhua got curious again. She reached into her robe and took out the passing token that MoYunye gave her earlier. It was sparkling in the dark. It was a body part of Heavenly King’s original form - a silver dragon’s scale.
