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

Chapter 251: Stocking Empire; Returning Home in Glory (5.5k please subscribe!)

The winter sky is clear, blue and cloudless.

The sunlight shines through the thin sky onto the earth, warm and peaceful.

Ji Lingruo sat in front of a small stone table, playing Gobang with Fairy Wangshu out of boredom.

With her chess skills, she was no match for Fairy Wangshu and was defeated almost every time. But her eyes were not on the chessboard, but lingering under the stone table.

Fairy Wangshu was finally no longer dressed in pure white today. She was wearing a white snow fox fur coat and a light blue skirt that Ji Lingruo had matched for her. But this skirt was shorter than her usual skirts, and after she sat down, her entire calf was exposed.

But her snow-white skin was not exposed, because she wore white stockings bought from Qianhua Pavilion. The white silk fits tightly to the curve of her calves, slender and graceful, and the delicate stockings are slightly shiny, like a cake made of pure snow.

Color, fragrance and taste...

Ji Lingruo just felt that she never got tired of watching it, and was secretly glad that You Su couldn't see it, otherwise, there was no telling what that kid could do.

Ugh……

Ji Lingruo sighed slowly and was so busy looking at the ice cream that she let her senior sister do the double three again.

She could have stared straight ahead, but she chose to cover it up with Gobang.

After all, on this boring mountain top, you have to do something to relieve your boredom.

A few days ago, I could still force myself to practice swordsmanship well, but as time went on, I kept thinking about why the blind man hadn't come back yet. My heart was filled with worry about him and I couldn't concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

He had no interest in practicing swordsmanship, let alone meditation. Ever since Ji Lingruo had tasted the benefits of dual cultivation, he rarely meditated.

Even when she was practicing, she was secretly practicing the cheating manual given to her by Shushan Pavilion, so that she could completely "step on You Su" after he came back...

"Senior Sister, you are the goddess of the Exorcism Department, do you have any news?"

The girl in the green jacket lost another game and was too lazy to put away the chess pieces. Instead, she asked the noble fairy in pure white with concern.

Fairy Wangshu blinked her clear blue eyes and shook her head.

"Alas, I'm not worried about my brother's life. I'm just afraid that he'll be having affairs with other girls again."

Ji Lingruo curled her pink lips, looking so adorable with her worried and resentful look.

Fairy Wangshu was not well-read, but at least she was more "cultured" than before. She also understood the meaning of this word:
"Junior brother wouldn't do that. If anything, it would be another woman who would come to him." Fairy Wangshu sincerely excused You Su.

Ji Lingruo rolled her eyes prettily and thought, isn’t it the same for you?
When I first met you in Izumo Castle, I thought you were a no-go, but I didn't expect you to be stupid and gullible.

"Junior sister, are you thinking about me?" Fairy Wangshu looked at Ji Lingruo's big watery eyes.

"Ah? No, no, no."

Ji Lingruo secretly felt that her senior sister's special ability was truly terrifying. She could see through everything she was thinking and doing. How could she fight in the palace with such a person?

No, we must win them over!
So she coaxed:

"Senior sister, you see, although Senior Brother doesn't flirt with women, women will flirt with him. It's like a great opportunity, everyone wants to grab it, right? But this opportunity is already mine...ours, so how can we give it to others? Do you think I'm right?"

Fairy Wangshu reached out and tapped the chin of her Jade Rabbit Mask and nodded:

"that's right."

Ji Lingruo showed a gratified expression as if she was a teachable child:

"That's it. So the women who come to compete with us for opportunities are all rivals. We should be wary of our rivals and protect our own opportunities, right?"

"That's right!" Fairy Wangshu nodded heavily. "When Junior Brother comes back, I will lock him in the room and not let him go anywhere. I will get rid of the evil spirits, and Junior Sister will bring him food when he is hungry. This way, no one will be able to snatch our opportunity away."

Ji Lingruo looked at Wangshu in astonishment. She didn’t know whether this was the hidden yandere attribute of this pure girl or just a naive childish joke.

"Ahem, let's discuss this later... The situation hasn't gotten that serious yet. At this stage, we just need to stop him from having contact with women other than the two of us."

"Yes." Wangshu nodded, and then said, "The third elder is here."

Ji Lingruo looked back quickly, and saw a mature woman in a green skirt flying in the air from the clouds. Her hair was lightly tied up and fluttering in the wind. She seemed to be very excited, her cheeks were flushed, and the mature charm of a woman was overwhelming.

This third elder, who was of high status, of course also came here by the cloud ladder. After all, who would want to walk if they could fly?

Ji Lingruo only took a glance at the Third Elder and knew why he was so excited.

It was obvious that the design plan she gave to the other party had already produced results.

"Third Elder."

The two girls greeted each other at the same time. The Third Elder was always easy-going and tolerant towards women, and they were used to not being polite.

"They are all here. It's good that they are all here."

The third elder looked back and forth at the two women's figures and faces with a pair of charming eyes, especially focusing on the two women's feet with different characteristics hidden behind their jackets and skirts, and was very satisfied.

Ji Lingruo felt a little shy when she noticed the other party's scrutiny, but when she thought that the other party would be her future long-term partner, she let the Third Elder look at her.

"Third Elder...are you ready?" Ji Lingruo asked tentatively.

The third elder smiled charmingly and took out a wad of silk from his bulging chest.

"Thanks to my unremitting research spirit, I have finally... accomplished it!"

She just lifted up the silk, and it fell down like water.

Under the warm winter sun, the black stockings are faintly translucent and shiny, reflecting a slight fibrous feeling, making the black stockings look smoother and more delicate.

Ji Lingruo's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, shining with excitement, and she couldn't help but start to touch it, feeling it was extremely smooth.

Judging from the workmanship of this black silk, it is in no way inferior to the treasures bought from Qianhua Pavilion.

"The Third Elder is so powerful!"

The Third Elder was very pleased with Ji Lingruo's praise, "The skills of the Qianhua Pavilion's chief are just so-so. It's easy to replicate it."

Of course, she was just bragging. After all, she had the stock, so she just needed to work backwards. Not only her, but all the female disciples on Bihua Peak also studied with her tirelessly. After several days, they finally understood the production process of stockings.

"The stockings used by Qianhua Pavilion are made of snow silk. They are not stretchable enough and are not suitable for most people. They just have a cool and useless function. But the stockings made by Bihua Peak are made of plant silk. They are not only low in cost, but also stretchable enough to fit the bodies of most women. I won't feel bad if they get damaged."

This majority of women, of course, also include the Third Elder himself.

She would never say that the pairs of stockings bought from Qianhua Pavilion that Ji Lingruo gave her before were actually very tight when she wore them...especially the top of the stockings, which made her thigh flesh burst out...even after wearing them for a day, the stockings on the inside of her thigh were stretched to the point of tearing, which was really not very nice.

She then found ways to solve the elasticity problem for her plump female compatriots.

But in fact, she still wears these improved stockings...

"Doesn't this mean...that the stockings you made, Third Elder, have the potential to be mass-produced?!" Ji Lingruo asked in disbelief.

"Of course."

The third elder was very confident that she could name at least five plants that could be made into stockings:
"I came here to discuss this with you. Didn't you say you have many clever ideas? I plan to open a clothing store like I sell wine, so that more women can wear novel clothes. You and I will cooperate with Bihua Peak. You provide the design and we will be responsible for the completion. I wonder if Qianhua Pavilion will dare to sell at such a high price in the future!"

"Great! We will surely become popular across the five continents!"

Ji Lingruo didn't expect that the Third Elder could actually make it successful. Originally, she just wanted to find the Third Elder with a try-it-out attitude, thinking that it would be good enough to be self-sufficient, but now she found that it could be mass-produced. She seemed to have seen a good opportunity to grow bigger and stronger.

As we all know, women's money is the easiest to make.

In order to become beautiful, they are absolutely willing to do anything.

At that time, why bother writing a book when you are so poor?
By then, she will have made a lot of money, and she can completely lead the members of the Snake Tribe to become rich and wealthy. With sufficient fund support, my sister can also lead the Snake Tribe to a better revival!

"So, Lingruo, you agreed?"

The third elder was also looking forward to it. She had been on the mountaintop for so long that she was bored to death. Now that there was such a fun opportunity in front of her, she was definitely eager to try it.

"Uh-huh!"

Ji Lingruo nodded heavily. Anyway, she didn't have to think hard about the clever ideas. You Su had a lot of bad ideas. This kind of easy and profitable business was her favorite, so how could she refuse it?

"Okay! You don't need to put in the capital to open a shop, you just need to provide the design. If you make money in the future, I will give you a share of the profits!"

"Thank you, Third Elder!"

Although the specific profit-sharing ratio had not been directly determined, Ji Lingruo knew that the generous Third Elder would definitely not treat her unfairly.

The two of them were imagining the future and chatting animatedly, and Fairy Wangshu, who had been silent the entire time, seemed a little lonely.

"Can I... join in, too?"

The fairy with blue eyes and white silk asked cautiously.

The two were interrupted by the voice and realized that they had neglected Fairy Wangshu. They both felt a little guilty.

"Little Wangshu wants to play with us too, right?"

The Third Elder was of course happy with this. She wanted to build a huge stockings empire with all the beautiful employees, and she would be the 'emperor'. Fairy Wangshu nodded, "If I join, I can earn a lot of spirit stones?"

"Of course, as long as we make a name for ourselves, spiritual stones will flow into our pockets like water!"

Ji Lingruo was also reluctant to isolate Wangshu, and it would be great if her lonely senior sister could also have fun with them...

"Sister, do you really want to make money?"

"Yeah. This way, when we go shopping and eat out in the future, you won't have to pay for it all. I also want to spend money on you."

The Third Elder and Ji Lingruo looked at each other and curled the corners of their mouths when they heard this.

"Senior Sister, I actually paid..."

"Xiao Wangshu, have you forgotten who bought you all these clothes?"

"Oh, then I also want to spend money on you." Wangshu said obediently.

Both women smiled with relief.

"It's fine to let Xiao Wangshu join, but what can you do when you come in? Your hand is the hand that holds the sword, and I can't let you condescend to be a female worker; you don't understand research and development, and you don't have any design..."

The Third Elder muttered to himself, stroking his delicate chin as he paced back and forth, thinking...

She suddenly caught a glimpse of Wangshu's white silk jade feet, and her pupils lit up immediately, clapping her hands and saying:

"Have it!"

Wangshu's blue eyes flashed and he looked at the beautiful woman hopefully.

"I've noticed that Qianhua Pavilion always has a sign hanging on it. On the sign are portraits of famous fairies wearing their clothes, trying to set a trend. How about Xiao Wangshu becoming the main sign of my Bihua Pavilion?!"

The third elder was very excited, his eyes lingering on Wangshu's white silk jade feet:
"There is not a trace of fat on Xiao Wangshu's legs. The curves are smooth and powerful. They are perfect works of art! Legs like these can handle all kinds of stockings! And Xiao Wangshu doesn't show her face, which can better show how different stockings can modify her figure. With you as my signature, why won't my Bihua Pavilion be popular?"

Ji Lingruo agreed with the Third Elder's evaluation. She didn't believe that anyone could not admire Senior Sister's white silk jade feet, so she echoed:

"That's right! Although Senior Sister doesn't show up often, her reputation has spread far and wide. Her fame is much greater than those hanging in Qianhua Pavilion! The publicity effect is definitely very good!"

Wangshu was stunned for a moment, and said stupidly: "Is it okay for me to dress like this and let others draw a picture of me?"

"That's right! Senior Sister is an elegant fairy in everyone's mind. She should dress appropriately and beautifully, and then accidentally reveal a section of stockings, which is subtle but not revealing, beautiful but not gaudy. That's enough!"

Ji Lingruo would certainly not change her senior sister’s conservative dressing style. Her senior sister was able to make it onto the Heavenly Fairy List without showing her face, which showed that her beauty did not need to be exposed to attract attention.

"I happen to know a female painter whose painting skills are beyond compare. I have already thought that after Bihua Pavilion becomes famous, you, little Wangshu, will accidentally offend many beautiful fairies."

What this means is that Fairy Wangshu will continue to move up in the ranking of the Heavenly Fairies.

The third elder secretly found it funny that he could be ranked at the top without showing his face. No wonder so many fairies ranked below Xiao Wangshu were so angry.

But what she said is not bad. If Bihua Pavilion develops well, it will itself be a process of mutual achievement.

"Of course, this depends on whether you, Xiao Wangshu, are willing to do so. Your portrait may be seen by many people." The third elder reminded kindly.

Fairy Wangshu rarely appears in public, but her portrait has long been spread across the five continents. The signature feature of Bihua Pavilion is nothing more than embellishing the portrait with a pair of stockings.

But even so, the person himself must agree.

Fairy Wangshu thought for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Are they all curious about what I look like?"

The third elder was stunned when he heard this. The “them” the girl was referring to were of course the people of the world.

"Indeed, many people are curious. If you become the star of my Bihua Pavilion and become famous, I'm afraid even more people will be curious... If you don't want to, I will think of another job for you..."

"Do not."

Fairy Wangshu curved her eyebrows and smiled.

"I promise."

The Third Elder confirmed it again and again in disbelief, but Fairy Wangshu was firm in her decision and said that it was just a portrait and it wasn't her real self that was being watched by so many people.

The third elder was very pleased, thinking that little Wangshu had grown up and was finally not so shy anymore.

But in reality, this pure white girl who lives in her own little world is just disgusted by those strange prying eyes.

She also had her own stubborn side. The more they wanted to see, the less she would let them see her, the more curious they were. And she also knew that there was only one person in the world who was not interested in her appearance under the mask, and that was her blind junior brother.

Junior brother is the best...

Well, this also strengthened the girl's determination to make money.

Under the surprised gaze of the two women, the chief spokesperson of Bihua Pavilion was also finalized.

Just like that, technology, design, productivity, raw materials, capital, spokesperson...

All the elements needed for a popular clothing store are in place, and the rest is up to time.

……

Tao Yaoyao is a very outgoing person, and she knows how to liven up the atmosphere. Because she is the personal maid of Master Huajing, although she seems cheerful, she actually knows how to keep her distance.

With her around, the flying time didn't seem boring at all.

On the contrary, He Kongyue, who is always known for being easy to get along with, is far from being as happy as You Su and Tao Yaoyao.

You Su guessed that perhaps it was because Brother He was a member of the Pure World Sect and was rejected by the Exorcism Bureau, so he had a natural alienation towards the people of the Exorcism Bureau.

They were about to return to the sacred mountain, and You Su didn't want to go to the Exorcism Bureau to report first. He just wanted to go back to Lotus Peak.

So he took the opportunity to tell Tao Yaoyao and He Kongyue the story of Venerable Chengying, and reported the journey to Tao Yaoyao as well. Of course, he deleted some information about Allah and the Pure World Sect, and modified the story of how Venerable Chengying turned defeat into victory and defeated his inner demons.

After listening to Venerable Chengying's story, both of them lamented and felt sorry.

Venerable Chengying has already achieved success, but the stain of her childhood is a thorn in her heart that she can never remove. This also led to her being bewitched by the Lord of Dreams and falling into the chaos that followed.

"If a person has a demon in his heart, he will be easily bewitched by the evil spirits of the Dream Master. Therefore, whether for the sake of one's own path or safety, it is best to have clear thoughts."

Tao Yaoyao stretched out her index finger and spoke in an old-fashioned manner with a childish face.

She might be the person with the most say. After all, she always does things as she pleases. Otherwise, how could she even find the wrong Lingxu Mountain Range...

You Su agreed with this and nodded frequently.

He Kongyue was stunned and hesitated, as if he was lost in thought, but no one noticed.

Apart from this reflection, it seems that there is nothing worth exploring in depth about the story of Venerable Chengying. The Exorcist Bureau originally had more bizarre speculations about the truth of the matter, but it seems that the cause of everything was just that the Lord of Dreams glanced at Venerable Chengying.

You Su couldn't help but sigh. There were three such powerful evil gods. Could he really kill them...

After three days, You Su finally smelled the familiar air.

They first sent He Kongyue back home safely, and then You Su realized that this young master had gone out to explore without telling his family.

Fortunately, he did not return empty-handed. The book of invisibility bestowed upon him by Venerable Chengying was also a rare and mysterious technique.

He Kongyue warmly entertained You Su and Tao Yaoyao, and You Su even took a bath in He's house. He Kongyue gave him a set of expensive and gorgeous clothes, saying that he had no extra clothes in his closet, and You Su did not refuse.

He still understands the principle of returning home in glory.

If I return to the sect wearing tattered clothes, I'm afraid it will cause them to worry.

He actually had many questions he wanted to ask He Kongyue, but because Tao Yaoyao was still there, he had to give up and secretly make an appointment with He Kongyue to communicate using Xuanji Order.

Afterwards, You Su followed Tao Yaoyao to the sacred mountain.

Tao Yaoyao immediately returned to the Exorcist Bureau to report, while You Su returned to Lotus Peak alone.

He walked quickly and responded simply to other people's greetings.

Standing on the ladder, he couldn't help but fantasize about how his junior and senior sisters would welcome him when he returned to the top of the mountain.
Will the junior sister rush over and throw herself into his arms?
Will the senior sister come over and gently hold his hand?
As the ladder gradually rose higher, his smile became more and more unbridled...

But none of the scenes he imagined happened, and no one came to greet him.

You Su then remembered that the ladder had just stopped at the foot of the mountain, which meant that someone had taken it down the mountain.

But what would make a junior sister and a senior sister go out together?
If they didn't have to go out to eat, these two people would never leave the mountain.

How come I have encountered such a good time as soon as I came back?

What were they busy with?
You Su was puzzled.

However, You Su did not feel that disappointed, because he knew that no matter how empty the Lotus Peak was, there would always be a woman waiting for him.

So he slowly walked into the fairy forest behind the courtyard...
