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

Chapter 253 Ji Xueruo found a way to relieve fatigue (5.2k subscription required!)
A bright candle, a pile of documents, and half a cup of fragrant tea.

The woman was reviewing documents, her long black hair falling like a waterfall, blending with the black python robe she was wearing, making her look mysterious and elegant, profound and noble.

"Elder Hua found two members of the Snake Clan sharpening mirrors in the back pond of the Snake Ancestor Temple. Should they be severely punished?! Alas... The Snake Clan has no male descendants, and the women in the clan have nowhere to vent their desires. It is tacitly accepted that they should use some means to vent, but they should not underestimate the majesty of the Snake Ancestor. They must make an example of them to scare the monkeys and put an end to this."

"The Jinpeng clan is trustworthy. After receiving the lotus root heart, they have decided to form an alliance with my snake clan. They also invited me to attend the banquet after the recovery of the Jinpeng Saint Son... In this way, my snake clan has a support in Xingzhao Mountain. The time for returning to the mountain is just around the corner..."

The huge palace was quiet and cold. Ji Xueruo frowned and rubbed her temples. Then, with the help of the palace lantern, she began to carefully read the last letter in front of her.

Ji Xueruo had to read a lot of documents and letters every day, but she deliberately left this letter until the end of the busy day because it was a letter sent by her sister from Zhongyuanzhou.

The letter traveled over mountains and across oceans, and it took a huge price to reach her hands.

Because of the tense relationship between humans and demons, private communication was forbidden. It was the kindness of the Third Elder who used the name of Bihua Peak to build a bridge with the demons, so that he could send a letter on behalf of Ji Lingruo.

The first few pages of the letter were written in plain language by Ji Lingruo, which was very eloquent. The general meaning of the letter was to report her safety to her sister and to explain in detail her treatment and situation in Xuanxiao Sect.

Later, she also expressed her longing for her sister. After all, the two met unexpectedly and parted in a hurry. The two sisters who had been separated for three years were separated again on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Even though the two had some disputes because of the man, the sisters' love was deep and stronger than gold.

But between the lines, Ji Lingruo was still intentionally or unintentionally "showing off" the daily life between You Su and her.

For example, my senior brother bought me new clothes today, and took me out to eat delicious food, so why did he take me to a place as far away as Moye City for a trip? I told him not to spend money all the time...

There was not a single sentence in the letter saying “Look, sister, the man you like is with me every day and pampering me”, but it seemed like... every sentence was saying it.

Ji Xueruo shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly.

Ji Lingruo was a foreigner, living alone in a foreign land, so she was actually worried. She knew very well that it was better to report good news than bad news, and that the connected spiritual sense would feedback the strong stimulation felt by the body to another person, so she did not fully believe the content of her sister's letter.

For example, some time ago, she felt severe pain coming from her sister through her spiritual sense. She was worried at the time, but fortunately the pain was relieved soon.

But this severe pain was only short-lived. The letter sent by her sister was filled with genuine joy, indicating that Lingruo was living well in Zhongyuanzhou.

That blind man did what he was supposed to do.

Ji Xueruo certainly wouldn't be angry because of Ji Lingruo's boasting, but she still felt a little sour in her heart.

The short time she and You Su spent together was like a hundred years together. The experience of fighting side by side at the Yuhuan Pool was engraved in her mind like a brand.

In the story, the hero and heroine usually express their feelings after overcoming difficulties together, and then stay together in love. But she and You Su were forced to separate when they should have loved each other most passionately.

Race, region, responsibility, identity...all these shackles prevent them from loving each other and they can only meet in the future.

She can't do it, but Ling Ruo can. If Ling Ruo can stay with that blind man forever, that's enough...

Time will wear away everything, and perhaps it is best for the blind man to forget her. In this way, she can continue to complete her mission without burden, and her sister can enjoy the love of her lover alone.

Thinking of this, Ji Xueruo sighed.

It seems like he has accepted his fate, but also like he is mourning something.

After reading Ji Lingruo's signature, she thought the letter should end there, but there was another piece of letter paper at the end.

Ji Xueruo frowned slightly, and under the orange light, this stunningly beautiful face seemed to brighten up.

Ji Xueruo was very annoyed with herself. She was just thinking about forgetting each other on the immortal path, but now she was so happy just because the letter might have been sent by that blind man. It was really disappointing.

She exhaled lightly and slowly unfolded the last piece of letter paper.

"All is silent. The iron edges of the quilt are almost five o'clock.

The incense is out, the lights are dim, the chanting is still unclear, so desolate.

Only frost accompanies the bright moon.

It must be the cold night that annoyed the plum blossoms and made them unable to sleep.

I miss the plum blossoms and the flowers miss me, with love.

I got up and looked at the jade bottle full of clear ice.

I happened to write a short poem and would like to give it to Miss Xueruo. I hope you like it.

——You Su. "

Ji Xueruo couldn't help but read the contents of the letter aloud. She had read a lot of books and had an inexplicable understanding of the meaning of this poem.

She pursed her lips slightly, raised her head and looked around, and suddenly felt as if she was in another world. She felt that the scene in the poem was so close to what she saw and felt at the moment.

The incense in the room has gone out and the lights are dim. Outside, the moon is high in the sky and frost is all over the ground. She is unable to sleep due to the heavy burden on her shoulders and is still reviewing memorials here on this cold and gloomy night.

The first stanza of this poem seems to have been written for her.

I came across this little poem...Did he write it himself?

Let’s look at the next stanza. The earth is cold and the night is sleepless. The poet associates his own "unsteady chanting" with the peach blossoms' "unable to sleep".

"I miss the plum blossoms, and the flowers miss me, and they care about me."

It turns out that the first stanza was not talking about her, but You Su himself.

The plum blossom in the second stanza, bent by the cold snow and unable to sleep due to worry, is her.

So in his eyes, I am a plum blossom that stands proudly against the cold and is simply gorgeous...

Ji Xueruo's eyes were clear, but she spat with disdain:
"This blind man is too self-indulgent. How could he know that I would not be able to sleep? And how could he know that I would think of him when I could not sleep? Bah..."

He even compared his love for plum blossoms to clear, unmeltable ice. How shameless!

Although Ji Xueruo said and thought this, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth still betrayed her true feelings.

She sighed, she had never complained to anyone about her fate. But the blind man could not see, but his heart was like a mirror and he saw the heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

It turns out that he really understands me...

Ji Xueruo spread out the letter paper, wanting to write a reply to her sister, and by the way... also to the blind man.

But she thought about it, but she didn't know how to start writing. She used cold tea to refresh herself, but it didn't help, so she shook her head secretly and rubbed the bridge of her nose tiredly.

After a tiring day, her mind was already lazy and she couldn't think of how to reply.

So he had no choice but to give up and got up and returned to the bed.

She lay in bed with her eyes closed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned, and the image of the blind man kept appearing in her mind.

"Counting the days...it seems like they haven't done it for eight days...are they separated?"

The girl looked at the ceiling, her cheeks already flushed.

She didn't know why she remembered this thing so clearly, and what was the purpose of calculating this thing.

To settle accounts, yes, it must be to settle accounts!
What's the account to be settled?

How many times do you owe me...

bah bah bah!
Ji Xueruo gently patted her hot face, trying to sober herself up.

But this helpless body inexplicably felt a lingering emptiness.

"The snake tribe has no male descendants, and the women in the tribe have nowhere to vent their desires."

Ji Xueruo thought of her previous comments again.

Or maybe you should not punish them severely, just give them a verbal warning...

After all, they can't help themselves...

Ji Xueruo withdrew her hand that had reached into the embroidered python nightgown as if she was guilty, and pinched her soft thigh hard.

It’s all this blind guy’s fault for writing a letter to provoke me!

I don’t have time to think about these messy things!

Suddenly, she felt a weak electric current flowing through her numbness and focusing on her heart.

Her expression froze, and she quickly realized where this feeling came from.

When she needed him most, he finally came.

"This shameless couple! They come here every day, every day, they won't get bored!"

Ji Xueruo cursed angrily, then covered her entire red face with the quilt like an ostrich.

She had clearly been pursing her lips tightly and not daring to make a sound, but she felt a soreness in her jaw as if it was about to be dislocated, and a suffocating feeling similar to a fishbone stuck in her throat...

"This liar... actually lied to my sister..."

Soon, various different stimulating feelings came one after another.

On the huge bed, the raised quilt changed shape several times.

Ji Xueruo also figured it out. Instead of trying her best to resist this unbreakable sense of connection like she did in the previous times, it would be better to enjoy it.

Just think of it as... just think of it as the blind man serving her, the difficult clan leader...

This girl, who was dignified and self-reliant in front of others, finally got a chance to relieve her fatigue late at night.

If the sense of connection with God becomes an ethical dilemma in this situation, they have found a solution -

That is to find a companion...

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Ji Xueruo, who always got up early, got up at this time for the first time.

Granny Liu didn't ask the girl the reason. She also felt that the girl was a little too tired on weekdays.

Looking at Ji Xueruo's bright and beautiful face, Granny Liu smiled with satisfaction and said:
"It seems that Miss had a good rest last night. In fact, you don't have to do everything yourself. You can relax more easily by taking a break like you did last night."

Ji Xueruo raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly showing her affection? ?
Her cheeks flushed pink, she shook her head, looked at the elegant courtyard, and suddenly said:
"Granny Liu, please plant more plum blossoms in my yard." Granny Liu's eyes lit up when she heard this. Her eldest daughter was always busy with government affairs and studies. Except for very important occasions, she had no time to care about food, clothing, housing, transportation and other external things. She always arranged everything for the eldest daughter.

Today is the first time that the eldest lady has taken the initiative to make a request for the yard, right?
"But Miss, why do you have to plant plum blossoms?"

"I suddenly like it. Can't I plant it?"

"It's not that we can't, but the snake tribe has never planted plum blossoms..."

Ji Xueruo frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"The snake tribe only has female members, and they rely on the blood of the snake ancestor for reproduction, so they often remain chaste for life and never see red... and the plum blossom is often called the blood plum. If someone plants it at the doorstep, it means..."

Having said this, it goes without saying.

Ji Xueruo blushed and said angrily:

"When did the Snake Tribe have such a broken rule? Planting plum blossoms has to do with innocence? In addition to red plum blossoms, there are also white plum blossoms, yellow plum blossoms, and purple plum blossoms... Can't we plant any of them?"

"That's right, young lady... Then I will arrange it today and add three plum trees to your yard."

Wait... Ji Xueruo raised her eyebrows. Just me?
She is one of only two people in the snake tribe who has truly lost her virginity. It would have been fine if Granny Liu hadn't said it, but after she did, she was the only one planting plum blossoms in the yard. If she was seen by her tribe members, wouldn't they roast her over the fire?
"Ahem, in order to change the feudal mentality of the snake tribe, I decided to plant plum blossoms at the doorsteps of every member of the tribe! The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, which is exactly what we, the snake tribe, have gone through all the hardships to achieve happiness!"

This Empress just doesn’t believe it. It’s just planting plum blossoms, can the innocence of an entire clan be lost?

……

"I want to send you
The Love That Never Sets
Holding my heart tightly, I travel around the world
you are the celebration

You are the sunny day..."

In the morning, Ji Lingruo was still catching up on her sleep, while You Su was humming a little tune in the yard, lying on a recliner with his eyes closed to rest.

Talking about the fierce battle last night, it really fits the original name of the song, "The Sun Never Sets".

"Junior brother, you sing really beautifully."

Wangshu sat next to Yousu with a smile on his face and praised him sincerely.

She brought a stove that she had specially heated to drive away the cold for You Su.

The stove was very large, but the distance between the two people was invisibly very close, as if their shoulders would touch each other if they moved a little more.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. I was just humming casually."

You Su scratched his head with a silly smile. He was so focused on recalling what he had just heard that he didn't notice that Fairy Wangshu had quietly sat down next to him. He felt too embarrassed to continue singing.

"Junior brother, whatever you hum sounds good."

Wangshu's insistence on praising him made You Su smile helplessly. He was moved when he felt the warmth coming from the stove beside him.

"Sister, you don't have to be like this. I'm not that cold."

"But I'm cold."

Fairy Wangshu stretched out her delicate hands and leaned against the stove to keep warm.

You Su felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. He had already felt deeply that his senior sister had no warmth in her body.

After talking it over with his junior sister last night, he was able to face his emotions more honestly.

He made up his mind, slowly reached out and grabbed the icy hand of Fairy Wangshu.

Wangshu stood motionless, staring blankly at Yousu's clear eyes. She felt an unknown emotion from the eyes of this blind man.

This emotion was once hidden deeply by my junior brother, but now it is exposed nakedly.

She didn't know why, but for the first time she felt embarrassed facing someone else's feelings, and she slowly lowered her head, but still let You Su's rough hands rub her palms. She felt a warm current flowing from these hands that penetrated her heart.

You Su grabbed Wang Shu's hand and warmed himself by the fire with her:
"Do your hands still feel cold, Senior Sister?"

Fairy Wangshu nodded obediently.

You Su felt a little embarrassed, but Fairy Wangshu was like that and would not lie.

How could You Su's hands and the brazier easily warm up this person who was born without fever?
"Then keep it covered for a while longer, and you won't be cold anymore."

You Su was shameless and greedy for the feeling of the cold jade in his hands.

"Um……"

Fairy Wangshu nodded and actually used a little force to grab You Su's hand, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"Senior sister's hands are the most precious hands in the world. You know, you can't use them to make fire or burn charcoal?" You Su pinched the softness in his hand lovingly.

"Oh……"

The charcoal fire crackled, You Su smiled calmly, quietly enjoying the warm time with his senior sister.

"Junior brother, don't you care about the taboo between men and women?" Fairy Wangshu suddenly asked.

You Su was slightly stunned, then he remembered that when he first went up the mountain, he always avoided the closeness of his senior sister, and he often used the excuse that men and women should not be too close to each other.

But today, only a few months have passed, and he is already reluctant to let go of the girl in front of him.

"Because now Senior Sister is also special to me."

You Su's words were sincere.

Wangshu couldn't help but recall the time when his junior fellow apprentice explained to him why there were differences between men and women but he didn't need to distance himself from his junior sister. It was because his junior sister was special to him.

And now, she is too.

A warm current naturally flowed from the girl's heart, and You Su clearly felt that the girl's hands had become warmer, warm from the inside out.

"Then... why is that?"

Of course, because I like it.

You Su has always wanted to teach his senior sister the difference between liking and being liked, and now he finally found the opportunity. However, when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ji Lingruo who was rubbing her sleepy eyes behind him.

"Sister, let's go. We should go to the Third Elder."

You Su couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He was still entangled with his junior sister in the morning, but now he was holding another woman's hand in front of her...

But it was impossible for him to let go on his own initiative just because he was afraid of his junior sister.

Fortunately, Wangshu came to his rescue in time, and the girl reluctantly let go of his hand:

"Junior brother, I'm going to Bihua Peak. Tell me when you come back."

You Su then loosened his hands and placed them on the stove to warm them. He felt that the gaze from his junior sister was hotter than the stove.

He wanted to go along, but he thought it would be better not to get in between the two women at this moment:

"Is that so? Then, Junior Sisters and Senior Sisters, please be safe. I will wait for you to come back for lunch at noon."

"We're not coming back to eat, so you can take care of it yourself."

Ji Lingruo actually put on some light makeup, she was incredibly beautiful.

"Sister, let's go."

As she said that, Ji Lingruo took Wangshu's arm and pulled her to leave. But when she turned around, she accidentally kicked Yousu's calf with her toes, as if to vent her anger.

You Su had an obedient expression on his face, begging for mercy, but he was curious in his heart. He thought these two people must be hiding something from him.

However, he has full trust in the two women, and he will know when he should know, so he will not force it.

He was the only one left on the huge Lotus Peak.

"How about... go look for Master's Wife again?"

You Su quickly shook his head and put the idea behind him. What if his master's wife disliked his frequent visits?
Just as I was thinking this, I felt a slight vibration in my arms.

You Su hurriedly took it out and found that it was the Xuan Ji Order.

He then remembered that he and Brother He had agreed to use the Xuan Ji Order to maintain communication, but after taking a shower last night, he changed into a loose robe that was easy to take off, and didn't even bring his Qian Kun bag with him.

It was not until dawn today that I put the equipment back on.

He knew that he had broken his promise, and hurriedly input the Xuan Qi into the Xuan Ji Order, only to find that the accumulated information was so dense that it actually occupied this entire space of consciousness.

"Brother You, are you there?"

"Brother You, haven't you rested yet?"

"Brother You, I think it may not be that simple for me to take Venerable Chengying as my master."

"Brother You, I advise you to stay away from that Tao Yaoyao."

"Did Brother You drop the Xuanji Order?"

Among the flood of messages sent by Brother He, there was one from Mr. Hui——

"Please reply if you received it. He Kongyue said that you might have met with an accident."

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that Brother He was worried about him to this extent, and immediately blamed himself.

And You Su also saw the latest message that He Kongyue had just sent -

"My father wants to see you."

Master's wife's...father?!
