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

Chapter 299 I will bully the man you like in front of you! (6.3k please subscribe!)

In the vast, empty valley, everything was silent except for the faint sound of shoes stepping on the sand.

This was the darkest moment of the night and the darkest moment in the life of the sister next to me.

Tao Yaoyao thought so.

She held Zi Yiyi's arm affectionately with one hand, and with the other hand she held a gold paper lantern of the same style as Zi Yiyi's to light the way ahead.

She felt that she should be like a lamp in the darkness, lighting the way forward for Zi Yi.

But she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. She could only walk slowly in silence, trying to delay the impending end for her good sister.

She pursed her delicate pink lips tightly, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"After I leave, you may have to work harder. I'm sorry..."

It was Zi Yiyi's clear voice that broke the silence first.

Tao Yaoyao always thought that Zi Yiyi's voice was very pleasant, like a cuckoo with its head held high on a branch, with a natural nobility. Unlike her childishness, at the age of 21, she still had a voice like a child that made people feel no desire...

"I should apologize to you... Although we have served Master Huajing together over the years, you have actually done more. I went to Master Chihong every other day, not to learn swordsmanship, but just to go out and play, to be lazy... Yes, I'm sorry..."

At the end of her words, Tao Yaoyao choked up and could hardly hold back her tears, her heart full of guilt about to burst out.

The two personal attendants would not leave Huajing Master's side at the same time, so they usually took turns following him. Huajing Master also had a lot of official business, so he rarely stayed in the sacred mountain, and when he was gone, he would stay for a long time.

“I, I actually don’t like exorcising evil spirits at all… Evil spirits are so disgusting, I hate them to death… If it wasn’t for Master Huajing who raised me, I wouldn’t have taken exorcising evil spirits as my responsibility… But you’re different, you have much more faith than I do, so I always think, since you love exorcising evil spirits, then just let you go, and I can just be lazy… I’m sorry, I’m so bad…”

"It's okay. We can't force everyone to be so enthusiastic about eliminating evil and defending the way of righteousness. I'm happy to do so." Zi Yiyi said gently.

Her gentleness made Tao Yaoyao feel even more devastated. Obviously, it was Zi Yiyi who was about to face punishment, but Tao Yaoyao cried bitterly while talking to herself and recounting her past crimes.

Since then, they have been people from two different worlds. She felt that she had to speak out. If she didn't get the forgiveness of this good sister who she had been with day and night for twenty-four years, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"I can actually see that Master Hua Jing likes you more, so I'm always secretly jealous, and then I deliberately say nice things to win his favor, and I always give gifts to Master Hua Jing without telling you..."

"What's the big deal? You can't all be as dull as me. Besides, Master Huajing has always been indifferent to things other than evil spirits, so he won't care about these things."

"And there's the son of the leader of Lingbao Sect, wuwu... That time when we accompanied Master Hua Jing to visit Lingbao Sect, the young leader fell in love with you at first sight and secretly gave me a whole book of love letters and asked me to pass it on to you. I thought he was so ugly, so I rejected him on your behalf, wuwu... I scolded him a little harshly, don't blame me..."

Zi Yiyi raised her eyebrows, and finally understood why the young sect master always looked unhappy every time she saw him.

In fact, righteous cultivators walk in the heaven and earth, using the mysterious qi to cleanse their marrow and cut their veins. Even if they are not peerless gods, they are rarely ugly. As the son of a famous sect, how could the young master of Lingbao Sect be so ugly?

The reason why Tao Yaoyao ruthlessly refused was that when she proudly received the love letter as thick as a sect scroll, she suddenly found out that it was for her best friend. She felt a huge gap in her heart, so she was furious and ruthlessly rejected the young sect master on behalf of Zi Yiyi.

"I should thank Yaoyao for rejecting him for me. Otherwise, I would be so embarrassed and at a loss what to do if I had to refuse him in person."

Her understanding and magnanimity made Tao Yaoyao feel guilty. She couldn't help but let her tears slide down her pink cheeks and drip onto her towering chest, forming a pool of dark water stains.

Tao Yaoyao continued to confess her crimes, for example, the skirt she was given was not something she had snatched with great difficulty, but was part of a buy-one-get-one-free promotion...

The list goes on and on.

In fact, these are just trivial matters to Zi Yiyi. She does not feel any resentment, let alone forgiveness. Instead, she feels that the relationship between them is more vivid and real.

Although Tao Yaoyao was a little naughty and clever, she was still her best friend whom she always treated as a younger sister. The two grew up together, and the happiness and warmth they experienced were enough to make these flaws seem insignificant.

"And there's one last thing... Actually, before Master Huajing and I entered the valley, I saw you choosing a skirt to meet the Son of God, so I secretly sprinkled some aphrodisiac powder into the skirt while you were taking a shower... Woohoo, why didn't you wear that skirt in the end! If you had worn it, maybe you would be making love with the Son of God right now! You wouldn't have run into this valley, woohoo..."

"I do not……"

Zi Yiyi subconsciously wanted to explain that she didn't choose the skirt just to meet You Su, but she felt that at this point in time, there was nothing to be honest about.

"I just decided that the skirt wasn't good looking, so I changed it."

"He's blind, how can he tell whether you're pretty or not?!"

Tao Yaoyao stopped crying, her cheeks puffed up, as if she was angry at Zi Yiyi for being so anxious and worried that her plan ultimately failed.

She really felt that with that enchanting perfume, two people who didn't have any deep feelings for each other could go to Wushan together.

"What's wrong with being blind? Didn't he see me just now?"

Zi Yiyi smiled gently.

Tao Yaoyao was stunned when she saw this, and cursed:

"You are really crazy! Although he is indeed much more handsome than the Young Master of Lingbao Sect, would you do that for a man?"

Zi Yiyi shook her head. "Why do you think so? I'm not that stupid..."

Recalling her first meeting with You Su, she didn't take You Su seriously at that time, but now she is complacent that the young man can take her seriously.

She couldn't describe what the feeling was. Just as Hua Jing Shouzu analyzed, she couldn't resist the temptation tonight not because of You Su, or not entirely because of it.

This kind of love should be very light, she and You Su did not have too deep contact. It was just that after spending some time together in Moye City, she felt that this blind boy was both gentle and reliable, and he seemed to have light in him, and he was really good-looking...

After she came back, the name You Su lingered in her mind, and she subconsciously searched for information about him. But the more she learned, the more she felt like a firefly, unable to compete with the bright moon.

She had been stuck in the middle stage of Water Condensation for two years, and knew very well that her talent was only mediocre on the Divine Mountain. Even Tao Yaoyao, who was two years younger than her, had caught up with her in cultivation.

"You still say you're not stupid! You're obviously doing this for him!"

Tao Yaoyao felt more and more guilty, and started to cry again, "I should have been the one to go to Moye City that time. If only I hadn't been lazy, you wouldn't have met that bastard Son of God... "

Zi Yiyi gently wiped away her tears, "Do I look like someone who is so love-brained?"

Tao Yaoyao opened her big watery eyes and nodded heavily without hesitation.

Zi Yiyi looked embarrassed, then gently pinched Tao Yaoyao's tender little face to 'vent her anger'.

She seldom did such intimate actions because she wanted to be like the Master Huajing, whom she admired, and be indifferent to everything except evil spirits.

"I think you are the one who is in love. If you can run a thousand miles for a cake you like, you can probably run ten thousand miles for the man you like."

Tao Yaoyao was not angry at Zi Yiyi's retort. Instead, she buried herself in Zi Yiyi's arms and burst into tears. Her tears wet Zi Yiyi's chest in a moment.

"Woo woo! Don't go!"

Zi Yiyi had always spoiled her like her own sister, but she always thought Zi Yiyi was too old-fashioned and boring. However, she didn't expect that when they were about to part, she realized that Zi Yiyi also had a lively and interesting side under her serious nature.

Zi Yiyi was infected by her emotions and also felt a sore nose.

Her throat rolled but no syllables came out. She realized that she was almost suffocating from Tao Yaoyao's huge 'warmth'.

She hurriedly pushed the girl away a little, and was able to catch her breath:

"Even if I don't leave today, I should leave tomorrow..."

Tao Yaoyao is not stupid, she knows that this "tomorrow" does not mean the real tomorrow, but a day in the future.

This made her a little heartbroken. Although she was just a maid, she always regarded Zi Yiyi and Huajing Master as the two most important people. But Zi Yiyi's words carried a strong sense of fate, as if Zi Yiyi and them were not from the same world from the beginning to the end.

“You know everything…?”

"I guessed a little bit..." Zi Yiyi lowered her eyes, "What happened tonight was actually a test that Hua Jing Zu deliberately set for me... So even though you said in advance that you would be the one to pick up the Son of God, Hua Jing Zu rejected you. In fact, she has always been very indulgent towards you..."

Tao Yaoyao's eyelashes trembled, "You have already guessed it... why are you still..."

"Why do we still want to enter the valley?" Zi Yiyi smiled calmly, "I just guessed it just now... But some things are irreversible even if you know them in advance. This shows that deep in my heart, I want to enter the valley and get something that I can't get."

"You said it's not for men, then what do you want?"

Tao Yaoyao felt that this best friend was becoming increasingly difficult to understand. She had always been a very understandable person before, and she said angrily:

"Although we are just maids, Lady Hua Jing treats us very well, just like a real mother... Basically, she gives us everything we want. How can there be so many things we want?"

Tao Yaoyao was half a head shorter than Zi Yiyi, so when she was angry she had to look up at her.

Zi Yiyi rubbed Tao Yaoyao's head and asked, "It seems that Master Huajing also tested you?"

Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips, chose not to hide it, and nodded.

"It seems that Yaoyao has passed the test of the chief of Huajing."

Zi Yiyi praised the delicate and lovely girl by tidying up her bangs that had just been messed up.

"That's why I don't understand! What's so difficult about this? I just felt like eating something, and when I was about to pick up the plate of cake, I suddenly remembered that I had to lose weight, so I couldn't eat it. You see, this temptation is so easy to resist!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yiyi pushed the girl away and then looked her good sister up and down.

She is round and plump, with a full body, but she has an extremely childish face.

Frankly speaking, she is a little 'fat'...but this kind of fat is a healthy kind of plumpness, and everything is soft. It's just that because Tao Yaoyao is short in height, she looks more like baby fat.

Zi Yiyi still couldn't understand how such a girl could be related to such a cool swordsman? Could it be that she was just like the fat cat in the Exorcist Department who was well fed, and could be as agile as a flying eagle when touched by someone else?
"You never thought about losing weight when you ate before. Who said you were fat?"

"It's none other than He Kongyue, the eldest son of the He family! I ran into him when I passed by Falling Star Valley a few months ago. I went to say hello to him, but he said I had gained weight. I was so pissed!"

Tao Yaoyao was so angry that Zi Yiyi felt like her clothes were about to explode.

"Mr. He is a very elegant and handsome man. How could he insult you for no reason? What did you say when you greeted him?"

"No, I was just teasing him about how he looked pale and thin because he couldn't see his sweetheart... I didn't lie, why would he hold a grudge against me? How petty!"

Tao Yaoyao stuck out her tongue indignantly, looking so adorable.

But she was filled with grief and couldn't stop her tears from falling. When she thought about never being able to complain about others to her best friends again, she realized how precious this moment was.

"Why are we talking about this hypocrite?"

Tao Yaoyao felt that the term "hypocrite" was not wrong. If someone liked a man, then he was a fake man, wasn't he?
Zi Yiyi suddenly stopped walking, and Tao Yaoyao looked up. The darkness was no longer in her eyes. She could see the torches lit by the monks stationed on the outskirts of Luoxing Valley from afar, like flickering sparks.

It turned out that she and the "prisoner" she was escorting were almost at the end without realizing it.

She had clearly slowed down her pace sufficiently, but she still felt that this moment came too fast.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her cheeks trembling slightly, but she still couldn't hold back her tears. She then tried to pull Zi Yiyi back and said angrily:

"The book only says that women can't hold back the tears from below, but it doesn't tell me that I can't hold back the tears from my face either, wuwuwu..."

Zi Yiyi's eyes twitched. Tao Yaoyao would occasionally say some dirty words that were embarrassing for her to hear, which was extremely inconsistent with her childish appearance.

She used to restrict her sister from reading those strange books, especially those stories between men... But now she is too lazy to care about it anymore, after all, Yaoyao is just young...

"I'll take you back to admit your mistake to Lady Hua Jing! She will definitely forgive you! Let's go kill Xin Xiang Buddha together, and everything will be back to normal!"

The girl grabbed Zi Yiyi's arm and tried to pull her back stubbornly.

But Zi Yiyi didn't move at all. She looked into the depths of the valley, as if she wanted to look into those white pupils.

She finally retracted her gaze, then sighed and broke free from Tao Yaoyao's hand:

"You can't go back, nothing will ever be the same again..."

Tao Yaoyao sounded somewhat desperate, and her lower lip trembled as if she was stuttering.

"Lady Hua Jing doesn't distrust you. She also tested me... How could she distrust us? Don't think too much..."

Zi Yiyi just shook her head.

"What on earth do you want? I'll find it for you! Why do you have to ask for that damned devil? Why? Wuuwuwu..."

Zi Yiyi looked at her hysterical best friend and felt a pain in her heart as if it was being stabbed by needles.

She suppressed the regret that was welling up in her mind. This was all her own fault, but she did it willingly.

Her whispers were heard in the wind, and this was the answer she had come to understand after tonight:
"I have always regarded Hua Jing Zu as my role model. I want to be as unique as her, and I have always required myself to do so. But... people are different after all. I am mediocre in talent. If I were not the personal attendant of Hua Jing Zu, I would not have these resources. I am afraid that I would not even be in the Water Condensation Realm now...

I didn’t realize this before, and thought it was all my own achievement. But until I met the Son of God, I realized how insignificant I really was. Rather than saying that I like the Son of God, I envy people who shine on their own, and I want to be like that person.

Master Huajing is the biggest light I have ever seen, and Yaoyao is also shining. I know you can resist the temptation of evil spirits. In fact, it is not as easy as you said... People will only get hungrier and hungrier, and the temptation will only get bigger and bigger. Those who can withstand it are people with great will. You are amazing.

What Hua Jing said is right. I have been feeling more and more inferior these days, but I cannot let go of my pride. I am in a struggle of feeling that I am not worthy of my position but I am also arrogant. It is ridiculous, right? Even I feel so. "

Tao Yaoyao was stunned after hearing this, and then she realized that Zi Yiyi had been keeping so many thoughts deep in her heart.

"I have practiced so hard, my ambitions are so high, and my will is so firm, why can't God bless me and let me become a dazzling person like him? I really don't want to accept this, I really don't want to. Now that I think about it, this is the inner demon...

Hua Jing Zu was very kind to me. I knew that she must have seen my inner demons and designed all these to help me get rid of them. But I still failed her test. I followed my inner demons and asked for strength from the Buddha of Thought. In fact, when I knelt down, I already knew that the pink flesh was fake. Even if I killed it, I would still be an evil spirit.

But I still choose to make a wish to the real Buddha of Heart to gain power. I am hopeless. Master Huajing must be very disappointed in me... But I really have no choice. Maybe with Master Huajing here, my cultivation will be even higher, but I can already see my future..."

"What future? Do you really have to become someone as powerful as Huajing Zuzuo? So what if you have poor talent? Aren't there so many cultivators with poor talent working diligently in the Exorcism Division? What's wrong with doing what you can!"

Tao Yaoyao really couldn't understand her best sister's obsession. She felt that she seemed like a different person, but she also felt that she hadn't changed at all as she had always been serious about everything she did since she was a child.

"Is it within my ability? But I think my ability should not be limited to this. I don't want to live a mediocre life like this... I have regarded Lady Hua Jing as my role model since I was a child, and even fantasized that I could surpass her one day! This is my real inner demon!
Do you remember when I was ten years old, I hadn't even broken through to the Tongmai realm yet... That day, the head of Huajing took me away. I thought she was going to send me away because I was so dull, but she just took my hand and walked me into a black jellyfish. There was a chaotic shadow inside, and when I looked at that shadow, I even remembered myself beating in my mother's belly...

The head monk of Huajing told me that this is the only portrait of the Lord of Dreams in the world. Even though it is blurry, it is not something that people can look at directly! Only she can do it in this world! She also said that this is her lifelong enemy, and she was born to pull Him off the throne and kill Him!
She told me that I had little talent, but if I could resist the temptation of that shadow, she would keep me by her side and acknowledge that I would be the one to kill Him with her!

Finally, I held on... I was ecstatic. Before I was ten, I was always worried about gain and loss, but from that moment on, I knew that I was qualified to stand with Master Huajing! From that day on, I officially embarked on the path of cultivation!
The Lord of Dreams is no longer just her enemy, but also my enemy! Ever since I realized this noble mission, I have been working hard for it day and night! How can I be willing to give up this mission now! God gave me a destiny, but did not give me the corresponding talent. Since I cannot complete this mission through normal cultivation, I will try another way!"

"You are crazy... You are really crazy..."

Tao Yaoyao took a few steps back in confusion, as if it was the first day she met her taciturn best friend and she realized that inside her slender and elegant body, there was such a surging heart.

"You simply couldn't resist the temptation of the Lord of Dreams! He had planted this seed in your heart when you were ten years old! That's why you kneel down in front of the Buddha of Thought today! That's evil! Those who associate with evil will have no good end..."

"In front of me..."

Zi Yiyi murmured to herself, then raised her head and looked back into the depths of Falling Star Valley. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said with unparalleled confidence:
"No, you are wrong. I was already awake long before Master Huajing reminded me. It was not the Buddha who chose me, but I took the initiative to choose the Buddha! One day, I will be able to complete my mission with my own hands!"

She raised her head for the last time and looked into the depths of the valley. Her eyes seemed to be burning with an unquenchable fire. These words were like a dream talk, and no one knew who she was talking to:

"I will never be bewitched by any evil spirit...even the Lord of Dreams!"

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind blew and dust flew everywhere.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her graceful skirt rustled in the wind.

Tao Yaoyao looked at this peerless and pure fairy and knew that she would be walking on a path that was completely different from her own, a path full of filth and infested with insects.

But these impurities will only stain her clothes but not her heart.

"You go."

"Yaoyao..."

"Before you leave, remember to use magic to trap me here."

"I……"

"Let's go! What you said just now was very convincing! Why are you nagging now? If you go back to the Exorcist Bureau like this, do you think you still have a chance to follow this path?"

"..."

"Hey! Remember this! From now on, eliminating evil and defending the Way is not just your mission, it's my mission too! You are an evil cultivator now, one day, I will catch you back! And then I will severely bully the man you love right in front of you!"

"Thank you..."

"Get out of here!"

And deep in the valley, a thin purple figure was reflected in those pure white eyes.

She drifted away with the wind, going farther and farther away...
