In the great hall, the Queen Mother of the West sat upright at the center, presiding over the affairs of the court with solemn gravity. Her gaze was sharp and focused, as if she could perceive all things. By her side, Fairy Mudan stood quietly, assisting the Queen Mother with her various duties.
The Queen Mother leafed through the documents in her hand, scrutinizing every detail, occasionally exchanging glances and opinions with Fairy Mudan. Fairy Mudan, keeping her head slightly bowed, listened respectfully to the Queen Mother’s instructions and responded in hushed tones.
The entire hall was permeated with an atmosphere of solemnity and tranquility, enough to inspire a sense of awe. The majesty and wisdom of the Queen Mother were admirable, and Fairy Mudan’s own intelligence and resourcefulness were fully manifest in this setting.
