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

Chapter 318: The Good Husband (5k)

Their eyes met, and they fell into silent awkwardness for a moment.

Ji Xueruo's beautiful eyes widened as if struck by lightning. She was about to curse, but when she saw the boy's distracted eyes, she couldn't say anything.

So she quickly used her left elbow to rudely nudge You Su, and said angrily, "Why are you getting so close to me?"

"It smells so good, so I want to get closer to smell it."

You Su was honest, and even pretended to take a deep breath and act intoxicated. Of course, he did not mention the action of secretly opening his black pupil to observe two key points from behind.

Ji Xueruo's face flushed red, she groaned, turned around again, and put on her clothes completely without carrying You Su on her back. However, she had not put on the scale armor yet, so she needed to stay relaxed for a while.

"You are your brother-in-law and I am your aunt. I hope you can keep some distance." The girl said in a cold voice. She then sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

You Su held his cheek and stared at the girl in a serious manner. He was not sad about the girl's deliberate distance. This was the bet they had made. Just meeting again was enough to make him feel sweet. And if she was a little bird, she would not be the Miss Xueruo he was familiar with.

"Close your eyes too!"

As if she had noticed You Su's unbiased gaze, the girl, who was unable to concentrate, snorted coldly.

You Su chuckled and did not continue teasing the girl who was regulating her breathing.

……

The flowers and trees on the island are bathed in spiritual energy and bloom brilliantly in late spring.

Walking out of the cave, the humid sea breeze blows through the flowers and trees, shaking off the petals as if a prodigal son is showing mercy, like a fragrant snow.

You Su took a deep breath and found the fragrance refreshing.

“The caves that Miss Xueruo looked for were all surrounded by seas of flowers, which are truly the most stunning views on earth.” You Su sighed. He couldn’t see, but he could guess roughly.

"It's a dark and windy night, I can find it anywhere, why do you need to flatter me?"

Ji Xueruo turned around and glanced at You Su. The sunlight fell on her beautiful cheeks, and the reflected light on her skin was bright and dazzling.

"How did I flatter you? By the way, do snakes have butts?" You Su asked curiously.

Ji Xueruo's eyebrows immediately raised, "When we first met, you were willing to pretend to be a gentleman, but now you are proud of being vulgar?"

You Su still had an innocent look on his face, "You is asking sincerely, please don't misunderstand Miss Xueruo."

Ji Xueruo saw that this person was really shameless and was too lazy to argue with him. She spat and said, "Follow me closely. If you get lost, don't expect me to look for you like a mother looks for her stupid son."

You Su secretly found it funny. He was not a man of few words, but he was used to speaking less on weekdays. But for some reason, he always liked to talk nonsense with this arrogant girl who liked to confront him, and he found it quite interesting.

The girl is like a black cat whose fur easily stands up, or a venomous snake that likes to puff out its venom. She has a dangerous attribute that keeps humans away, but people can't help but keep testing the edge of danger.

"You know... I have been without a mother since I was a child..."

You Su had a tearful look on his face, and his handsome face was harmless. If he put up a sign asking for support on the streets of Henggao City, he would probably be snatched away by wealthy and willful ladies. Unfortunately, this trick didn't work on the cruel Ji Xueruo.

"Is this how you usually try to coax women's sympathy?" Ji Xueruo was as cold as ice and took the first step.

How can telling the truth be called cheating?
You Su complained in his heart, but the image of the beautiful woman soaking in the lotus pond appeared in his mind. He did not dare to answer, and hurriedly followed the girl who was showing the way to him:
"Where are we going?"

"Go back to where the fire armadillo appeared the night before."

"That divine beast is not something that the Water Condensation Realm can deal with." You Su reminded worriedly.

"Where divine beasts appear, there must be natural treasures. The fact that a divine beast with strength beyond the Condensed Water Realm can appear on this island must have a profound meaning for the True Immortal Zhengyang." Ji Xueruo was very serious when talking about business, "I hope no one else has gotten there first."

You Su nodded slightly. At present, there was no clue in the search for Tianxing's inheritance, so this suddenly appearing fire armadillo was naturally the biggest focus.

"If the inheritance has been taken, the trial should be over. Let's go. There is still a chance."

Ji Xueruo did not answer. The two of them moved quickly through the forest, one in front and one behind.

You Su sincerely praised the girl's amazing memory. She could remember the night road she had only walked once so clearly.

The girl just looked at him as if he was a fool, but she didn't hide anything and told him her secret of remembering the way.

It turned out that she had been running with You Su in a hurry that night, and in order to remember the way, she had deliberately sprinkled a powder called snake scale powder along the way. This powder could only be detected by snakes. Fortunately, there was only wind and no rain on this island, so they could still vaguely find the way by following the scale powder.

You Su admired the girl more and more. He practiced dual cultivation and absorbed cultivation from Qianhua Puppy. He also treated many evil cultivators as consumables. Only then did he reach the perfection of the lower realm of condensed water. Ji Xueruo did not have so many auxiliary means of cultivation, but he was able to reach the lower realm of condensed water.

You have to know that she is the same age as her junior sister, but she is a few months younger than me. The girl even has many trivial matters in the clan to disturb her, which is different from those second-generation immortals who only need to practice. She really carries too many things on her thin shoulders, and the hardships are unimaginable.

"Ms. Xueruo is really amazing." You Su suddenly praised sincerely.

Ji Xueruo paused, and hearing the sincerity in You Su's words, her heart warmed again, and she felt a sense of happiness that her efforts were recognized by others:
"No, I can't compare to you. When we first met, my realm was higher than yours, but now you are higher than me."

"If I were asked to handle clan affairs while practicing hard, I would never be able to achieve the same success as Miss Xueruo."

"Don't be modest. Ling Ruo said that you have joined the Exorcist Division and often need to go out to exorcise evil spirits. You are much better than those geniuses who can only take care of themselves."

You Su was really happy to receive a compliment from Miss Xueruo, and asked earnestly:

"Ms. Xueruo is under so much pressure, how do you usually relieve stress?"

Ji Xueruo's cheeks flushed immediately, and her soft tone hardened again, "Why are you asking this?!"

"Of course I want to give Miss Xueruo some gifts."

"Don't worry, I don't feel stressed, I'm used to it."

Ji Xueruo answered coldly, then quickened her pace, as if this would make this nosy blind man talk less.

But how can anyone really get used to stress? When it comes to relieving stress, she usually does two things:
The first thing is to appreciate the "love poems" sent by You Su. Apart from the hints in the poems, each one is a good poem worth chewing over and over again; and the second thing, of course, is to be forced to enjoy the pleasure coming from her sister. Even if this occasionally brings trouble to her daily life, she has to admit that its stress-relieving effect is indeed good.

Sometimes, she would even combine these two things, appreciating poetry while...

Of course, these were secrets that she could never tell You Su.

……

After a period of trekking, they were getting closer and closer to the place where Ming Dao fell.

The two of them also slowed down because they noticed that there were more and more monks around them. Apparently, the news of the fire armadillo spread quickly, and these monks came for possible inheritance.

Although they did not sense any hostility, to be on the safe side, the two of them naturally could not rush around recklessly. It would be bad if they ran into someone's encirclement.

"Remember to keep your distance from me. You just killed Ming Dao. Your identity is sensitive. There are a lot of people here. Don't get too close to the monsters." Ji Xueruo reminded.

"It's not necessary..." You Su was reluctant.

"It's better to have less trouble than more." The girl glanced at You Su, but still couldn't say the decisive words.

Finally, Ji Xueruo saw the deep pit created by the fire armadillo.

The deep pit was roughly estimated to be about thirteen meters wide. Standing on the branch of a tall tree and looking down, it was pitch black and there was no sight to the bottom.

"The fire armadillo is a fire-attributed beast, no matter what. Although it likes to live underground, it is unlikely to dig a hole like this in a short time, unless it has the strength of the Void Realm. But judging from its aura that day, it is at most a high-level feather transformation." Ji Xueruo said lightly. "You mean this is the entrance to its cave?"

"Probably." Ji Xueruo continued to analyze, "That's why it hated Ming Dao so much that day. It hates water, but Ming Dao insisted on making it rain in front of its door."

"It's true that evildoers will be punished." You Su said with a smile.

"There are a lot of strong auras staring at you here, and you can still laugh?" Ji Xueruo glanced at You Su.

This is already the outer area of ​​the deep pit, and the crowd is extremely dense. Naturally, many eyes are cast on the new arrivals, one man and one monster. Some are wary, some are disdainful, and some are eager to try.

Among them were several geniuses who were no less talented than Ming Dao. They had also heard about what happened that night and naturally recognized You Su, who was the protagonist that night.

"I'm not smiling for them, I'm smiling for you." You Su did not forget to tease.

Ji Xueruo glanced at the heartless boy and truly regretted traveling with him.

Just at this moment, You Su sensed a familiar breath approaching them.

In a moment, a figure stood on the branch next door.

With flying golden hair and a sturdy figure, he is Ao Yunlie from the Golden Lion Clan.

"Miss Ji, Brother You, how are you?"

Ao Yunlie greeted him cheerfully and did not pursue the matter of Ji Xueruo leaving without saying goodbye that day.

Ji Xueruo also returned the greeting. She tried her best to build good relations with the great demon tribes entrenched in the sacred mountain. Moreover, Ao Yunlie already had a very good reputation among those arrogant and proud demon tribe prodigies.

"Thank you, Brother Ao, for saving my life that day." You Su clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

"It's just a piece of cake. Even if I don't do anything, Miss Ji won't let anything happen to you."

Ao Yunlie waved his hand and looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman who were both dressed in black. Thinking of their equally incredible fighting power, the word "well-matched" unconsciously came to his mind.

"Even a little help is a favor. If Brother Ao needs anything, I will be happy to help you."

"Are you serious?" Ao Yunlie was not polite.

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."

Even if there hadn't been the "snatching someone from the tiger's mouth" incident, Ao Yunlie's move of using the Lion's Roar technique to drive Ming Dao away that day could be considered a favor.

"Well, I guess the two of you came back here for the thing that the fire armadillo is guarding."

"Mr. Ao, have you discovered anything?" Ji Xueruo asked hurriedly.

"It's not a discovery, it's just a guess. Even if the thing the fire armadillo is guarding is not an inheritance, it must be a treasure." Ao Yunlie cast his eyes into the deep pit. "I have already explored the pit, but at a certain depth, I can feel the threat from the fire armadillo. I guess this deep pit should lead directly to its cave, and the thing it wants to guard is in the nest."

"So, the fire armadillo has never left the cave since that night?" You Su asked.

"Yes, it doesn't seem to be a warlike creature by nature, and has never taken the initiative to cause trouble to outsiders. Only a few fearless people thought they could steal chickens, sneaked into its cave, and never came out again."

"If sneaking in is not possible, do we have to force our way in? But it has at least the strength of the middle stage of Huayu realm, and it can defend the cave. There are too many people in the cave, but it can't move freely. No matter how many people go in, they will be like moths to a flame." Ji Xueruo frowned. The gap between Huayu and Ningshui is self-evident, not to mention that it is a ferocious divine beast.

"That's right, but it's not without a chance of winning." Ao Yunlie's eyes were burning. "Do you know why the fire armadillo ran to Ming Dao first that day instead of Brother You?"

"Because Ming Dao is the source of rain." Ji Xueruo replied.

"Miss Ji is really smart. The news of the fire armadillo spread quickly. Including the two of you, there are a total of 43 monks gathered here, among whom there are several who have perfected the water condensation, and there are also several famous figures. The little saint of the Savage Holy Temple in the Western Wasteland Continent is proficient in the art of planning rain. He has calculated that it will rain heavily in a day. The fire armadillo will not let the rain water pour into the nest, so it will definitely come out of the hole to repair the hole. When it comes out of the hole, we can send a large number of people to besiege it, and then send a small number of people to sneak into the nest to search for treasures. In this way, the problem can be solved."

Ao Yunlie told the plan truthfully, and finally invited the two, "I have seen the fighting power of Brother You and Miss Ji that night, both of them are peerless. With your joining, our chances of winning will be greatly improved. We don't even have to just delay it, but kill it directly."

The Feather Transformation Realm was indeed powerful, but the people gathered here were the top talents of the Five Continents. Who wouldn't have the ability to cross the border and kill the enemy? And if such a group of geniuses worked together, as long as they forced the fire armadillo out of its comfort zone, it would not be impossible to kill it.

"There are so many people, are you sure they can cooperate?"

"If we don't do this, we won't be able to overcome the fire armadillo." Ao Yunlie was very confident, "And I won't hide it from you two, everyone who stayed here has reached a consensus."

You Su thought that this was nonsense. It was impossible for them to gather here without reaching a consensus. Those who were unwilling to cooperate and wanted to steal the treasure would of course be excluded and not allowed to approach the cave.

"Could it be that Brother Ao brought these people together?"

"Brother You guessed correctly. I am indeed the initiator. Forty-one monks, both humans and demons, are willing to work together. And we have all signed an agreement. If anyone breaks the rules, both humans and demons can be killed."

"Rules? Then who should the treasure be given to after it is finally won?" Ji Xueruo discovered the essence of the problem.

"Everyone who goes down the cave must swear a great oath. If it is a treasure, whoever gets it will own it; if it is an inheritance, this awakening light must be shared with everyone who participates."

"If it is a treasure, then if we fight to the death, wouldn't we be making wedding clothes for others?" Ji Xueruo asked again.

"All cultivators in the upper realm of Condensed Water must stay on the ground to participate in the siege. I believe that for those who are willing to fight against the fire armadillo, no treasure is more important than the inheritance of the True Immortal Zhengyang. It's not a pity if it really becomes a wedding dress."

Ao Yunlie's firm words were indeed true. No matter how precious the treasure was, it could not compare to that ray of spiritual light that awakened the heavens.

"So Brother Ao wants me to join the battle? Kill the fire armadillo together?"

"That's right." Ao Yunlie had already set up a soundproofing technique, "I sincerely invite you two to join me."

Ji Xueruo pursed her lips slightly, "But we are both in the lower realm of Condensed Water."

"The only one participating in the battle is Brother You. His battle with Ming Dao can be said to have made him famous, and Miss Ji can enter the cave to search for treasure." After Ao Yunlie finished speaking, his smile was meaningful.

Ji Xueruo also immediately figured out the implication of the words. It was obvious that the rule that cultivators in the upper realm of Condensation Water must participate in the battle was to ensure that the combat power was sufficient, and secondly to consider fairness for those who entered the cave.

In fact, among the cultivators gathered here, You Su and Ji Xueruo were the only cultivators in the lower realm of Condensed Water. Those who entered the cave to search for treasure were all in the middle realm of Condensed Water, which was considered fair competition.

According to the rules, You Su and Ji Xueruo can both enter the cave to search for treasures, but You Su's reputation has already spread, and these cultivators in the upper stage of Condensation Water will never allow You Su to compete with those cultivators in the middle stage of Condensation Water without participating in the battle. This is tantamount to giving the treasures in the cave to You Su.

"Did Master Ao deliberately hide this from them?"

Ji Xueruo didn't believe that Ao Yunlie would not be able to see the strength she showed that night, which was definitely not comparable to those in the middle stage of Water Condensation.

Then it is understandable that Ao Yunlie, as the initiator of the action, concealed his strength for his fellow demon.

"Brother You is too famous." Ao Yunlie chuckled and did not give a direct answer, "But Miss Ji must also swear a great oath of heaven."

Ji Xueruo curled her lips. Although she was a little unhappy that You Su had stolen the limelight this time, this was also a good thing. Otherwise, she would definitely not be allowed to enter the cave to search for treasure.

She had to admit that this rule was very beneficial to her and You Su. Most people here were definitely forming cliques, and even if they got treasures instead of inheritance in the end, the forces that stayed on the ground would benefit and not work in vain.

She and You Su are also in the same group. If she is asked to compete with those in the middle stage of Condensing Water for opportunities, it can be said that she and You Su are the forces least likely to work for nothing.

Wait, why does Ao Yunlie seem to have already tacitly acknowledged that she and You Su are in cahoots?
"This will be a historic moment. The human race and the demon race will join forces again on Tianxing Island. What do you two think?"

You Su didn't say anything, but looked at Ji Xueruo, like a well-behaved little husband who would never go back on his wife's word.

Ji Xueruo raised her eyebrows slightly. Although You Su was naughty, he still trusted her absolutely. This made her feel as if she had returned to the moment when they supported each other in the Yuhuan Pool and took risks. Her heart was filled with warmth:

"I...we join."
