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

Chapter 294: Valley of Falling Stars; Maid's Thoughts

The wind blows across the fields, and the stars fall into the deep valley.

A strong wind blew through the huge hole between heaven and earth, stirring up clouds of dust.

The wind penetrated into the weathered stone crevices and caves, making a shrill hissing sound, as if there were ghosts howling and wolves howling, and thousands of people wailing.

You Su frowned, raised his sword, and a bird split into two and fell to the ground. When he looked closer, he found that the bird was pure white, but its body turned into a pool of black and smelly liquid, which soon melted into the ground.

"Is this also evil?"

A clear female voice sounded, carrying a strong sense of hidden worry.

It is as white as snow, but after death it turns into a pool of mud. It is extremely ironic.

The person who was speaking was holding a gold paper lantern, and inside the cage was a pearl instead of a candle. The light of the pearl shone through the gold paper, shining on the woman's face, adding a touch of holiness to her gorgeous and otherworldly face.

The woman was dressed in purple, with a strand of silver hair floating among her black hair. She had a pure and elegant temperament. She was none other than Zi Yiyi, the personal servant of Venerable Hua Jing.

"Yes."

Since You Su entered the valley, he has killed four such evil spirits. Although they were in the form of evil spirits, they were as weak as real birds.

He raised his head and blinked, gazing into the pitch-black night. Deep in the valley, there seemed to be twinkling fireflies, twinkling charmingly.

The Starfall Valley lives up to its name, the valley really looks like falling stars, but You Su does not think this is a beautiful sight on earth, because he knows that it is all evil.

All he could see were evil spirits.

In the past five months, he has received more than ten tasks assigned by the Exorcism Bureau and exorcised nearly forty evil spirits of all sizes. The reason why most of the hidden evil spirits could be discovered by him is because of his ability to see evil while being unable to see objects.

You Su even began to doubt whether his blindness was intentional.

"This is really strange. Evil spirits are the foul creatures that crawl ashore from the sea, so most of them take the form of sea creatures. How could they turn into birds on land?" Zi Yiyi was worried.

“Was Starfall Valley like this before?” You Su stopped and didn’t go any further.

Zi Yiyi shook her head. "Xingluo Valley is located at the westernmost part of Zhongyuan Continent. It is a bit desolate like Xihuang Continent, but it is rich in mineral resources. The reason why it got its name is precisely because of the mineral veins under this valley.

This mineral is called Star Crystal Ore. It is hard and almost transparent. Although it has no special effects, it is extremely bright and beautiful, and is loved by people from all over the world. The valley easily gathers wind, and when the wind blows over the sand, the crystal ore fragments hidden in the sand are lifted up by the wind and float in the air like falling stars, hence the name. "

"It seems that the star crystal mine has been almost mined." You Su rubbed the ground with his toes.

"Yes, the Star Crystal Mine is very precious. This place has been almost completely reclaimed by people, and the beauty of the Starfall Valley is no longer what it used to be. But a few days ago, someone said that the Starfall Valley has regained its splendor. The Star Crystal Mine deeper in the valley has been revealed, attracting many people to enter the valley to mine, but no one has returned alive. This attracted the attention of the surrounding monks, and they quickly blocked the entrance and exit of the valley."

You Su nodded slightly. He had known about these situations since he received the mission. He suddenly found a stone, patted the dust off it and sat down:
"Sister Yiyi, take a rest first."

Zi Yiyi pursed her lips, a look of apology appeared on her face, and then she sat down on the stone next to You Su.

"Thank you for coming all this way, Master Shenzi."

Everyone in the know at the Exorcism Bureau had seen You Su's performance over the past six months, and the attitude of most people had changed from disdain at the beginning, to recognition, and then to feeling inferior now. Of course, this also included Zi Yiyi, who had already recognized You Su.

With You Su's mission, all the evil spirits were killed, which was a very terrifying record. Everyone thought that this young man was the natural enemy of evil spirits.

You Su smiled in astonishment, "Sister Yiyi, if you call me Son of God again, I will turn around and leave. You should call me Young Master You, or just You Su. As the Son of God, it is my job to eliminate evil, so it is not hard at all."

Zi Yiyi looked embarrassed, as if she was thinking of the "Mr. You" whom she reluctantly called when she first met You Su.

"But it's only been a few days since you last went on a mission. You should have some free time..."

You Su waved his hand casually, "As long as the evil god is still here, there will be no real leisure time in the Five Continents. Besides, my colleagues in the Exorcism Division are all over Zhongyuan Continent, and they don't even have the chance to go back and rest. How can I dare to say that it's hard work?"

These nice words are half true and half false. It is impossible to say that You Su has no resentment in his heart.

In recent months, there have been more and more cases of evil spirits causing trouble, and even the chief elder secretly told him that a storm was about to come.

As the Son of God, he often goes on missions. His senior sister, as another evil natural enemy, seldom travels with him, and they seldom get together when they return to the peak after the mission. And his junior sister seems to be preparing to break through the Water Condensation recently, and she often goes into seclusion. Because the Water Condensation Realm of the demon race is also known as the Form Transformation Realm, one needs to meditate and practice hard, and hone one's true form, so that after the transformation one will have the appearance of a majestic snake, and not just a three-inch small snake.

Therefore, the three people who were inseparable before have been spending less time together recently.

This time when I was visiting Su Huifeng, I finally met my senior sisters and junior sisters. I wanted to spend a few days with them and talk about our farewell. I was planning to have a good reunion on my junior sister's birthday in three days, but as soon as I took off my pants, I received a call from Huajing's chief monk.

You Su had always been directly commissioned by the Chief of Tianshu, and this was the first time that the mysterious Chief of Huajing had specifically asked him to help.

In order to leave a good impression, he could not refuse, so he had to release his yang energy briefly before rushing to Luoxing Valley.

As soon as he arrived, he entrusted Zi Yiyi, who received him, to take him into the valley to explore the situation.

"You are the Son of God, and you are different from ordinary officials. If you have to take action for everything, then the Exorcism Department would be a failure."

Zi Yiyi was very impressed by You Su's behavior of rushing thousands of miles and immediately asking to investigate the situation of the evil spirit after arriving. She felt that it was a blessing for the Exorcism Bureau to have such a responsible Son of God.

"It's all the same." You Su was very humble.

Although exorcising evil spirits is very hard, it must be admitted that You Su has regained a lot of God's power through this work.

Unfortunately, most of the evil spirits he exorcised were of the flesh and blood, and there was nothing special among them, it just made his physique stronger; and those evil spirits belonging to the five elements, including fire and water, although of low rank, allowed him to perform low-level spells related to water and fire more freely.

It is worth mentioning that an evil spirit of the Dream Master's genus has not been seen again. Rather than saying that this is unusual, it is better to say that the evil spirits that You Su encountered before were too unusual. Evil spirits of the Dream Master's genus have always been the rarest and most mysterious.

"It's been only half a year since I last saw you, but your cultivation has already reached the lower level of Condensed Water, almost perfect. Such talent is truly beyond the reach of others."

Zi Yiyi sighed sincerely. When they first met, their cultivation levels were almost separated by a whole realm. But now You Su was almost reaching the perfection of the Underwater Condensation Realm, but she was still in the Middle Water Condensation Realm.

"Sister Yiyi, you are wrong. You only see my talent but not my hard work."

You Su made some witty remarks to ease the atmosphere, and what he said was indeed true, many things cannot be simply summarized by talent, and You Su's hard work day and night and successive generations are the key if he and Ji Ling are to realize their talents.

Zi Yiyi looked surprised. She looked at the boy's face with the lantern. She felt that the boy had indeed matured a lot. His facial lines were more chiseled. He was obviously thinner than before, but he looked more masculine...

"Sister Yiyi, where is Sister Yaoyao?" You Su asked suddenly.

Zi Yiyi then realized that she had been staring at him for a while, and blushed as she quickly looked away:

"She and I are both personal maids of Huajing Master, and we cannot leave Huajing Master's side at the same time. When I go out, she can only follow Huajing Master."

"That's it..."

You Su felt that everyone was helpless and could not get real freedom. Feeling sad, he took out the kettle and drank to relieve his sorrow.

"Do you want to see her?" Zi Yiyi suddenly asked softly.

You Su almost choked, "Why do you say that?"

"So you don't want to see him?"

You Su looked embarrassed, not understanding why the reserved and taciturn sister Yiyi was playing with words. "Sister Yaoyao has helped me before, so she is also a friend. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I just wanted to express my concern. If I can meet her, that would be great, but if I can't, it's okay, there's always a long way to go."

You Su still had a good impression of the playful and cheerful Yaoyao. Of course, it was limited to the idea of ​​being a friend like Zi Yiyi. Firstly, he didn't have a deep relationship with them, and secondly, he had his senior and junior sisters and Xueruo, so it was really hard for him to have other thoughts.

"She should be in the depths of the valley with Master Huajing now. You will be able to see her when she comes back."

Zi Yiyi felt a little jealous, because it was her mission to go to Lingxu Mountain to pick up You Su. This time, Tao Yaoyao wanted to snatch the mission from her, but fortunately, Huajing Master did not let her do what she wanted.

Recalling the playful look Tao Yaoyao gave her when she failed to snatch the mission, Zi Yiyi felt a little uneasy.

"Deep and inaccessible?"

"The head of Huajing has ordered that you are not allowed to enter easily."

You Su nodded silently, not knowing what to say for a moment, and the two of them fell into silence.

"I heard that... you and Fairy Wangshu became a Taoist couple?"

"Does Sister Yiyi know about this too?"

You Su did not hide it, and He Shutong told him not to publicize it, leaving Wangshu alone, and just not to deny it when people asked. It was difficult to ask directly about this kind of thing, but the two of them often went out together, so the outside world was skeptical about the news.

The Third Elder was furious over this, complaining that the two had not informed her in advance of their becoming a Taoist couple, and even kept it a secret from her. Although she seemed to feel sorry for Xiao Wangshu and was indignant at You Su for cheating on her, she actually sent a lot of belated blessings to the couple, and of course she also made up for what Ji Lingruo owed.

She also told the two girls that if they had any dissatisfaction with You Su, they could tell her. If the Thirteenth Elder was not in a position to take action, she would punish them severely.

"It seems that the rumors Yaoyao said are true..."

Zi Yiyi lowered her head, looking at the bright pearl in the lantern, and suddenly felt ashamed of herself. She could only sigh that the gap was too big. The person she looked down upon before became someone she needed to respect.

She has always been proud of being the personal attendant of Huajing's chief master, but now she thinks that only the red sun is worthy of the bright moon.

"Senior sister misses the days when the four of us returned to the clan together. Normally, we should invite Sister Yiyi to the banquet. But Senior sister and I don't want to make it public, so we didn't tell anyone. I hope Sister Yiyi can understand."

You Su is very understanding of human nature and his words are always flawless.

Zi Yiyi suppressed the sadness in her eyes, "What about Junior Sister Lingruo? You and Lingruo should also be a Taoist couple, right..."

As expected, the woman's intuition was sharp and she immediately hit You Su's pain point.

"You Su is indeed very lucky. This is the blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes." You Su smiled gently and spoke sincerely.

Zi Yiyi's pupils shrank slightly, and her heart was touched. Many men have three wives and four concubines, all of which are used as capital for boasting, and in essence, they are regarded as vassals. But You Su is completely different, no wonder he can win the favor of two stunning beauties.

"Son of God, there is no need to belittle yourself. This is mutual."

"Son of God again, I told you Sister Yiyi you don't have to call me like that."

You Su shook his head and stood up. "Sister Yiyi, have you rested enough? Why don't we walk forward a little more?"

The record of repeated victories made You Su really less afraid of evil spirits. Even though he knew that the depths were impassable, he still wanted to give it a try.

Zi Yiyi stood up gracefully and reached out to brush away the dust on her pretty buttocks:

"Let's stop here tonight. I'll take you to the outskirts of the valley to rest. Wait for Master Huajing to come back tomorrow, and then listen to Master's arrangements."

Before You Su entered the valley, he knew that a strict defense line had been set up around Falling Star Valley. The severity of this mission was the most severe he had seen in recent months.

"it is good."

The two of them started their return journey, chatting briefly about their recent situation.

The wind carrying the smell of dust kept blowing. You Su suddenly stopped and looked at the sky with a solemn expression.

"what happened?"

"They circle back and forth, but in the end they are actually flying in the same direction..."

You Su looked at these weak, evil white bird-like creatures in the sky, stunned.

He had noticed this since entering the valley, and had been observing it, and finally confirmed his guess.

Zi Yiyi frowned and began to observe the circling birds like him. The more she watched, the more amazed she became.

She had never discovered this pattern before, but once it was pointed out, with her preconceived notions, she found that they really did follow a certain pattern.

"Why do they look like they're standing guard?"

"Yes, follow it!"

You Su spotted one of the returning white birds and immediately caught up with it.

Seeing this, Zi Yiyi anxiously caught up, "It's flying deeper! Don't chase it, let's send a message back first!"

"Sister Yiyi! You go and pass the message first. I'll chase her alone. We can't miss this opportunity!"

You Su has many life-saving magic weapons on him, so he is not afraid of the unknown depths.

"you!"

Zi Yiyi was a little angry, and recalling the boy's determination to eliminate evil, she came to her senses and immediately stopped You Su:
"You're in such a hurry to complete the task just to go back and be with them earlier?"

"It's my junior sister's birthday in three days."

You Su stopped and was very frank.

Zi Yiyi gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat envious of the happy snake girl.

Under the light of the golden paper lanterns, the girl's eyes gradually became firmer.

"Forget it! I'll use the sound transmission order to pass on the message! With me here, at least I can contact Master Huajing to ensure your safety!"

After saying this, she actually chased after the bird that flew away.

As a maid, she rarely broke the rules, and at this moment she only felt her heart beating faster.

She didn't understand why she made such an impulsive decision. She had always been the most obedient maid of Master Huajing. If she disobeyed, she might lose this proud status.

Am I looking forward to experiencing something with him?

Just like the dazzling women around him...
