Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 142 Fish Disease; Lotus Seed Soup

The place where the small fish was placed was not by the lake, but halfway up the mountain.

This is the area where ordinary monks of Yuhuan Pond live. Compared to the Near Lake Dormitory where only Ji Xueruo lives, the buildings here are obviously much denser. But fortunately it was already dark, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the lights were very sparse.

Even monks who are also Yuhuanchi are divided into three, six or nine levels according to their talent and cultivation. The immortals in Yuhuan Pond are collectively called the Jade Clan. In order to let all the tribesmen advance bravely, the ancestors of the Jade Clan do not care about the so-called division of the main family. As long as the surname is Yu, they can rely on their strength to fight for what they deserve in Yuhuan Pond. everything of. It is said that Venerable Shenxi, one of the three masters of the family, walked step by step from the outer circle of Yuhuan Pond to the inner circle, and finally miraculously became the master of the family.

Ji Xueruo covered up her own cultivation by specially learning magic techniques. Unless her realm was very different, it would be difficult to detect her, so she was able to travel smoothly all the way.

She also secretly lamented that maybe it was because Yuhuan Pond was sheltered from the outside world and protected by the formation that protected the pond, so she never encountered any gangsters with ulterior motives, so the guarding procedures in the pond were so sparse.

She pushed the door open, used the sound-swallowing technique to silence the sound of the door opening, and quietly walked in.

Unexpectedly, when you enter the door, there is a huge wooden basin. The wooden basin is filled with water, and the little fish wearing a thin shirt is lying quietly in the water.

She blinked her shining eyes, like two gems in the dim candlelight night. And the half of her lower body that was soaked in the water was actually much better than before.

This vigorous fisherman girl has a pair of slender and powerful legs. Now there is a fine black liquid spreading on the legs. There are still fish scales on the calves that have not faded, reflecting the glimmer of light in the water.

Xiaoyu squeezed her little hands, looking like she was still frightened:

Xiaoyu lowered his head and put his hand on his empty collarbone. Her grandfather gave her the necklace when she was three years old, and she grew up wearing it day and night. Now that the necklace is gone, she doesn't feel lost, but feels relieved.

Ji Xueruo sighed, if the little fish also recovered, the barb that could not be pulled out would also heal. Being in this fairyland-like Yuhuan Pond, is she really too suspicious...

"They say this is called fish disease. In addition to me, two maids in Yuhuanchi also had this disease before, and they both recovered."

"Why do you say that?" Ji Xueruo asked curiously.

"Yes, I will definitely do it! I also want to become a powerful and beautiful fairy like Sister Ji! And I will also bring grandpa in!"

Xiaoyu's voice was a little sad, but also a little excited:
"The immortal master who treated me told me that Xiaoyu has spiritual veins. When I am cured, I will be given the surname Yu and stay in Yuhuan Pond as an immortal. Xiaoyu was very happy when he found out, because I no longer have to be a fisherman. My father and mother died of illness, but I still have to inherit the fate of the Yu family's fishing for generations. This necklace given by the immortal to reward the Yu family's fishing achievements is like a shackle, so that the Yu family can never leave the lake. , Yuhuanchi accepted me! From now on there will be no more Yu Xiaoyu, only Yu Xiaoyu!"

"It seems that Yuhuanchi has done a good job in helping you recover." Ji Xueruo's voice was always cold, even if it was a word of concern.

"It's good if you have this intention." Ji Xueruo turned around and asked, "Did anyone in Yuhuanchi tell you what kind of disease you have?"

"Sister Ji, have you completed what you wanted to do when you entered the Yuhuan Pond?"

Ji Xueruo's beautiful eyes opened slightly. The aura erupting from this dark-skinned fisherman surprised her but also made her familiar.

"Okay! Yuhuan Pond is really great!" Xiaoyu cheered.

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When I was sick before, I slept all day long, but now I can't sleep."

"Congratulations Xiaoyu, but don't be proud of being able to practice. You have just walked to the door."

Being able to see Xiaoyu getting better relieved most of her worries.

With that said, she took out the necklace Lao Yu gave her from her arms. Hanging on the necklace is an off-white lotus seed that is almost withered.

"But the most grateful ones are Grandpa and Sister Ji."

"The lotus seeds from the Jade Lotus in Yuhuanchi are an elixir for detoxification. I take one every day and the disease will naturally get better. It's just that it will take some time to fully recover."

"Is it turning into a fish? Do you know the cause of this disease?"

Xiaoyu was a little surprised. She tightened her clothes and prepared to stand up from the water, but her legs were obviously not enough to support her movements, and she only stirred up a little splash.

"This disease is really unheard of..."

"Xiaoyu, do you still remember how you got this strange disease?"

Xiaoyu pondered for a while and replied: "Xiaoyu really didn't know. At that time, he only knew that he was sick and felt uncomfortable lying in bed. He kept wanting to drink water, but he couldn't get enough. In the end, he could only soak in In the fish cellar, it turned out like that.”

"Xiaoyu will do it!" Xiaoyu vowed and added, "After Xiaoyu turned into a monster, he even lost his mind. I was afraid that others would find out, so I asked Sister Ji to dress up in such a crude way like me. Now think about it, It’s really difficult for Sister Ji.”

"I don't know the disease, so how did they cure you?"

"The lotus seeds on the necklace are the fruits of the withering of thousands of lotus flowers in Yuhuan Pond. Every time they bear fruit, tens of thousands of lotus seeds are born. The immortals couldn't use up these lotus seeds, so they threw one away as a reward for the fishermen. Isn’t it foolish and ridiculous to allow the ancestors of the Yu family to be flattered and then work conscientiously in fishing for more than ten generations?”

It turns out that such a weak little girl would also want to change her own destiny.

Xiaoyu was in agony when he was sick, often in coma, and unable to communicate at all.

"Fortunately, the little fish is also very beautiful." It was a bit awkward to ask Ji Xueruo to comfort people, she added, "Besides, your grandfather and I are just making a deal. After a few days of acting, you can get your family's heirloom." , I also make a lot of money.”

"Yes, I am really grateful to the immortal masters of Yuhuan Pond. I thought I would become such a monster forever."

"Sister Ji, you came to see me!"

"No need to thank me, but your grandfather worked hard fishing for you. When you get better, you should honor him."

"It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

"I hope so."

"Sister Ji, don't worry. Master Xian told me that they also attach great importance to this disease, and they will definitely find out about it soon."

"Well..." Ji Xueruo closed the door and took a few more steps towards the wooden basin.

Xiaoyu shook his head, "They don't know either."

Lotus seeds... Ji Xueruo looked at the lotus seed necklace in her hand. In the past, the Yu family regarded it as a family heirloom and could not bear to eat it. Now Xiaoyu has it at her fingertips. No wonder she feels such a big gap.

"It's almost there, there are still a few days left." Ji Xueruo nodded.

Xiaoyu glanced at the necklace and said sadly:
"That thing is actually of no use to us, but it is regarded as a treasure by our ancestors and passed down from generation to generation. Now that I think about it, it is actually quite ridiculous."

After carefully studying this late night visitor, Xiaoyu quickly put away his vigilance. She remembered Ji Xueruo's appearance, not only because Ji Xueruo had played her for a while, but also because this girl's beauty was unforgettable after seeing her.

"Yes." Ji Xueruo responded softly, and then said, "Then you have a good rest. I will come to see you in two days. When you recover, I will give you some gifts to help you reach the immortal path as soon as possible."

"Thank you Sister Ji! Sister Ji, you are so kind!"

Ji Xueruo just nodded and finally turned around to say goodbye to Xiaoyu with her eyes before disappearing into the night.

The little fish is still sitting in the wooden basin. She ran her hands over the scales on her calves, and the black blood seemed to swim and gradually spread to her feet.

Behind her, Yu Zhen walked out quietly, like a ghost gradually taking shape in the dark night.

"You did well, little fish. This is your reward."

Yu Zhen slowly opened her hand, and in her palm were three fresh white lotus seeds, exuding a refreshing aroma.

Xiaoyu was frightened by the person coming. She guessed that Yu Zhen would come, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

"Lord Hazel." Xiaoyu saluted respectfully.

Yu Zhen hummed, walked to the wooden basin, looked at the small fish's nimble legs covered with black blood vessels and scales, her eyes became more and more obsessed:
"She's becoming more and more beautiful..."

"Master Xie Zhen praised her. This is all due to Yuhuanchi. It's just that I lied to her like this...does it really work?"

"Liar? But which of your words are false?!" Yu Zhen's voice suddenly became as cold as cold iron. He glared at Xiaoyu, "Or do you think in your heart that this is really an illness?"

"Little fish don't dare!"

The little fish's beauty suddenly turned pale, and he was about to struggle up and kneel down. Yu Zhen held her shoulders, making her unable to move.

"Don't move when you are still in the critical stage of transformation!"

Yu Zhen's tone was so cold that it made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave. He sighed again and said softly:

"Xiaoyu, don't forget that when you were three years old, your grandfather knelt on the deck of the boat and begged me to take you into the Immortal Sect, but you had no spiritual veins, so I rejected him. Now you suddenly have spiritual veins, You have to know that this is not a disease, this is a gift given to you by the water god."

The little fish trembled all over and nodded with a headache.

"This is just a necessary process of transforming from mortal to immortal. Don't be afraid. Accept it and feel its beauty... It's what turned you into this, isn't it?"

Yu Zhen is an elegant and handsome middle-aged man, with a dark shadow covering half of his face. He stretched out his fingers and rubbed Xiaoyu's face intoxicatedly:

"How could you have such delicate skin when you were so exposed to the sun before? Aren't you always inferior to yourself for being dark? It doesn't matter. If you become a fairy, you will become as fair and flawless as them, and become a fairy sought after by thousands of people. Woolen cloth……"

The little fish's trembling gradually subsided, and its two straight legs came together tightly.

"Besides, don't you want your grandfather to also receive the gift of the Water God? He is very old. If he doesn't become an immortal, he will be buried..."

Yu Zhen held Xiaoyu's chin and raised her head. Xiaoyu slowly raised his eyes, with an extremely firm look in his eyes.

Yu Zhen looked at her eyes and smiled contentedly.

He gently opened Xiaoyu's mouth, and Xiaoyu couldn't wait to stick out his tongue to reach for the three lotus seeds, as if he was addicted.

……

The night sky is like a black sea, silent, vast, and mysterious.

Ji Xueruo walked along the wooden path with very gentle steps. She didn't understand that Xiaoyu was all fine, so why was she still worried?

If Yuhuanchi really wanted to harm her, she would have no capital to resist in the opponent's territory.

She sighed lightly. At first she was a little proud, thinking that she could see through the secrets of the Yuhuan Pond. Only now did she realize that she had thousands of years of talent, and she couldn't see through it.

Now, she just hopes that Lotus Root Heart will mature as soon as possible, and then return to the Snake Clan with Lotus Root Heart.

She looked up at the sky. The stars and moon were dim tonight.

The mountains in the distance are vague, like clouds or floating pavilions in the sky. There are immortals living in the floating pavilion, with a little orange-red firelight...

"Holy girl, you came here so late at night just to release sky lanterns?"

You Su stood beside the rocks, and a bright orange-red color could be seen in his pitch-black vision.

The candlelight in the sky lantern was very bright, and it also imprinted a layer of blush on Yudie's extremely beautiful face, making her look like a goddess walking out of the candlelight.

"What's wrong? Isn't it possible?" Yudie asked playfully.

You Su responded silently. Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed by this world for so long. The saint was far more lively and delicate than he thought. It could even be said that she was a bit naughty.

You Su rarely refused the saint's request. He always had a feeling that this young girl in her prime would die soon. Her beauty seems to have a kind of magic power, and people can't bear to watch her wither with regret.

"I read in a book that there is a custom of setting off sky lanterns in the world. Every New Year, people in large and small towns will set up sky lanterns in unison. They write their wishes and sustenance on them, relying on sky lanterns. Go up to the dome and let Heaven fulfill their prayers. Master You, will you let go of the sky lantern?"

"I am a practitioner and don't believe in these things."

"What's wrong with practitioners?" Yudie and Yousu were no longer as polite as they were at the beginning. She sneered, "Just because you are practitioners, you should respect the way of heaven more, right?"

"The saint is right." You Su had no intention of arguing with him.

"I made this sky lantern myself based on the instructions in the book. I don't know if it can really fly."

Ever since she lit the candle, Yudie has been holding down the sky lantern intentionally or unintentionally. She doesn't dare to know the answer to the question too quickly.

"If this one doesn't fly, just make another one. It will eventually fly." You Su consoled you.

Jade Butterfly glanced at him, feeling a little disappointed, "But for it, it only has one chance to take off, right? Although the flying lantern behind it is also called a sky lantern, it is not it anymore."

You Su listened and said nothing.

This girl is very innocent, but she often expresses some emotions in a mature way. In and out of her words, people always feel that she is hinting at her own destiny - such as the white dragon carp that cannot swim out of the Yuhuan Pond, and the wishing lantern that cannot fly into the sky.

"Young Master You, I'm going to put the sky lanterns on the cliff in front. Thank you. If it weren't for your company, I wouldn't have been allowed to come here."

"In fact, the saint doesn't need to place it at such a high place. If you place the sky lantern in Xiaochi Palace, it will fly if it can fly."

"Young Master You, please don't spoil the fun so much." Yudie put her hands on her hips and pursed her cherry lips.

You Su hummed softly, and Yudie smiled, with the curve of her mouth as perfect as a crescent moon.

She was barefoot and stood on tiptoes step by step toward the edge of the cliff. She was born with a pair of legs like a peerless dancer, as straight and slender as two pieces of jade chopsticks.

The cliff wind howled, and the sound of beating leaves in the forest could be heard.

Under the cliff, the carved towers and the Yuhuan Pool all fell asleep in the quiet night.

Because You Su was standing behind her, she boldly stepped directly to the edge of the cliff.

The sand and gravel beside his feet rolled down and hit the mountain wall with a slight sound. Yudie's face turned crimson, not because of shyness, but because of the excitement in her heart.

She rarely had the opportunity to stand in such a dangerous place. Looking at the small things at the foot of the mountain, she actually had the urge to take off.

Yudie held the sky lantern wider than herself with both hands, and then smiled at the sky:

"Young Master, in my world, it either blooms or withers. So, it either falls to the ground and breaks into pieces, or it goes straight up to the sky and reaches the heavenly palace. Now, do you understand why I put it here?"

"It'll get airborne."

"I think so."

Jade Butterfly smiled wildly, her black hair spread like a waterfall, and she let go of the hand holding the sky lantern.

But the next scene made her beauty pale. The lamp had no intention of rising that day. She could feel a faint lift when she pressed it to the ground just now.

But I didn't expect that this lifting force was just an unrealistic fantasy. After it really left the ground, the gravity of the sky lantern itself was like a leg pulled by fate, making it fall endlessly.

Yudie couldn't believe the failure of the sky lantern, just as she didn't want to admit that she would never be able to fly out of this exquisite birdcage.

Her eyes instantly became determined. She leaned forward and stretched out her hand, hoping to save the sky lantern!
But she couldn't save the sky lantern that she had made with her own hands and which contained her endless thoughts, just as she couldn't save herself.

The sand and gravel on the soles of her feet did not support her from making such an action, and her figure seemed to be hanging in the air, about to fall towards the cliff!
She looked straight at the ground, and the tears that were rolling down stopped in the air at that moment.

That’s it…let’s end it…

A strong sense of exhaustion surged through her body, making her body, which was as light as a willow leaf, feel as heavy as a stone.

At the critical moment, a generous and strong hand wrapped around her waist.

She turned around in surprise and looked at You Su's face, which was still bright in the dark night:
"Young Master You..."

"Saint, do you really want to die?"

Yusu said this almost in a roar.

Jade Die didn't know why, but the hand on her belly gave her a great sense of peace of mind. She couldn't tell whether she was trying to save the lamp, or whether she was confident because she knew the boy behind her would definitely come to save her.

Her eyebrows suddenly shone like stars:

"I don't want to die now. Please save me, Young Master You."

The hand suddenly tightened, You Su Jian frowned, and coldly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:

"This will never happen again!"

The strong wind poured into their robes, blowing the fluttering skirts and black silk into surging waves on the lake.

Jade Butterfly had already let go of the sky lantern. They fell faster than the sky lantern. In her opinion, the sky lantern really flew.

She opened her arms, and the sleeves of her pink skirt fluttered, like a butterfly spreading its colorful wings.

"Young Master You! It's so high, we won't fall to death!"

Yudie was so excited that she didn't seem to be worried about her life or death.

"We will all die, but...not today!"

You Su held Yudie in one hand, and had already unsheathed his sword with the other, inserting it into the rock wall to ease the momentum of his fall. The Mo Song Sword made an excited sword cry, and fleeting sparks burst into the air.

You Su is not in the Feather Realm, so of course he can't fly, but as a Lingtai Realm monk, he can't do anything, not to mention, he also masters the wishful wind control technique.

He has always used the technique of controlling the wind ladder, and now the technique of controlling the wind finally comes in handy.

They kept falling, but they didn't look like helpless flying catkins, but like fallen leaves lifted by the wind.

Jade Butterfly has never felt so happy. If she could, she would fly in the sky forever.

……

"Young Master You, I'm coming in."

Yu Meng carefully clicked the screen.

"Ah."

You Su closed his eyes and soaked in the warm pool, relieving himself from the fatigue of "flying" with the saint just now. Every pore on his body greedily absorbed the nutrients in the pool water.

Perhaps when the saint brought him to the cliff, she had already thought about what would happen next.

She retaliated to experience the excitement she had never tried before, but she suffered a lot from Yu Su, who was her companion.

"Young Master You, it's really hard for you to play with my young lady." Yu Meng said with a smile as he put the medicinal materials into the water for You Su.

"The Saint regards me as a friend, this is what she should be doing."

Isn’t it because of the transaction?

Yumeng smiled knowingly:
"Young Master You, this is the lotus seed soup that the lady personally cooked for you. It is very good for your health. She specifically told me to drink it while it is hot."

As she spoke, she took out a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup from behind her.

In the small white porcelain bowl, the lotus seeds are crystal clear.
