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

Chapter 390 Get into the frying pan

In just a moment, You Su felt as if a thousand pounds of pressure was suddenly covering his body, as if to crush him into pulp.

You Su clenched his fists and used all his strength to resist. Fortunately, he was not only extremely strong, but also had a physique as tough as a monster, so he managed to hold on.

You Su clenched his teeth and sneered, his smile was full of unyielding and mocking:
"Do you think you can make me surrender like this? You are wrong. I, You Su, will never be the kind of person who will let others manipulate me."

His words were firm, and every word was like the sound of a piece of gold and stone, echoing in this small dungeon.

The person behind the mirror heard this and let out a creepy laugh, with a hint of amusement in the laugh:
"Oh? Then tell me, what gives you the right to negotiate terms with me?"

You Su stared at the mirror that was flashing strange light with a sharp gaze, and said in a calm and decisive voice:
"Because I know what you want, and that thing, only I can give you."

The person behind the mirror was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Then, his voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty:

"Do you think you can bargain with me? You and Bai Ze are just playthings in my hands. If you don't hand over the Tianxing Lingguang, it will be boiled in this frying pan immediately!"

Upon hearing this, You Su just said coldly:
"If you really dare to do this, you will never get the Awakening Light. I would rather let it never see the light of day than let it fall into the hands of someone like you!"

The person behind the mirror seemed to be angered by You Su's determination. He shouted angrily:
"Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me? You are just a prisoner. Your life or death depends on my decision!"

As he said this, he pretended to loosen the rope again and throw Bai Ze into the oil pan.

Bai Ze was so frightened that it was shaking all over, but it suppressed its fear and didn't make any sound. It just looked at You Su with eyes full of trust.

You Su felt warm in his heart. Seeing Bai Ze getting closer and closer to the oil pan, he took a deep breath and said in a firm tone:

"If you really dare to do this, I promise you will regret it for the rest of your life."

The person behind the mirror paused when he heard this. He seemed to realize that You Su was not bluffing, but really had a trump card that made him wary.

This was exactly You Su's purpose. The other party knew clearly that he was stirring up trouble in the South China Sea Fairy Island. No matter what the possibility was, he should never be underestimated.

There was silence behind the mirror for a moment, and then the voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female calmed down and said coldly:
"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Let me see it with my own eyes."

You Su stared at the mirror that was flashing with strange light. His voice was light but it revealed an irresistible force: "No discussion."

The person behind the mirror laughed out of anger upon hearing this. His voice was like a sharp blade quenched in ice, with a bone-piercing chill:
"Aren't you pretending too much? It's still unclear whether you and the Immortal Zhengyang are good or evil, and the aura of awakening is most likely fake, but you pretend to be so serious. Do you really think I will be fooled?"

"This is why you didn't kill me, isn't it? You could have taken me to the Immortal Temple to seek credit, but you didn't, because you couldn't bear to give up the aura of awakening that might be real. Even if there was only a slight possibility that it was true, you would never give up." You Su seemed to be at ease under the pressure.

There was another long silence. The person behind the mirror seemed to be shocked by You Su's determination. The voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female sounded again, but this time it was not spoken to You Su, but to Bai Ze who was worried and frightened:
"It seems that your friend doesn't think you are that important, otherwise why would he ignore you being boiled in oil?"

Bai Ze heard this but was no longer sad and cowardly. Instead, he mustered up his courage and shouted back with all his strength:

"That's not the case! It's not that he doesn't care about me, but he doesn't want to be fooled by you!"

"Interesting. Just bump into the mirror and it will come out naturally." The person behind the mirror said leisurely.

You Su suddenly felt lighter, as if the heavy pressure had never been there. He rubbed his sore knees, looked at the mirror with his eyebrows slightly raised, and then without hesitation, he suddenly bumped into it, but it was a bang and hit hard.

At this time, a series of sneering voices came from across the mirror, "I asked you to bump into me, and I really bumped into you. I didn't expect that the evil demon who kills people without blinking an eye would be so straightforward."

You Su's face darkened, knowing that he was being played by the other party. He thought that the other party was deliberately using the mirror-collision method to show off his skills to him. Now that he thought about it, he realized that the other party was doing it to humiliate him.

"I forgot to open it just now. Now it's open. Go ahead and hit it again."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" You Su asked through gritting his teeth.

"Believe it or not."

Hearing this, You Su made up his mind and simply hit the mirror again, but this time he didn't feel like hitting a wall. Instead, after a brief feeling of weightlessness, he fell onto a cold brick and stone.

He quickly stood up, looked around, and found himself in a palace of ice and snow.

The walls, dome and even the ground inside the hall are all made of crystal clear ice. The crisscrossing ice edges reflect cold light, making it look like a dreamland carved out of ice and snow, yet filled with endless chill and loneliness.

However, the figure behind the mirror was still nowhere to be seen. All that could be seen was the oil pan in the center of the palace, which was emitting steam and the boiling hot oil was making a sizzling sound. Bai Ze was placed on the oil pan, with ropes tightly binding his body. He struggled desperately, trying to escape from this dangerous situation.

"Stay here and don't go anywhere."

The voice of the person behind the mirror sounded again, cold and unquestionable. Then, it fell into dead silence, without a single sound, as if it had really left. Only the sound of Bai Ze struggling and the rolling sound of hot oil in the frying pan echoed in the empty palace.

"Ding Zhen, come and save me!" Bai Ze was overjoyed to see You Suzhen appear, and shouted anxiously, his voice full of fear and expectation.

You Su just walked forward slowly, his eyes were cold, he did not rescue it immediately as Bai Ze wished. When he got closer, he stared at Bai Ze with a sharp gaze, his voice was so cold that it seemed to penetrate the ice wall: "Tell me, why did you act and cooperate with him to deceive me?"

Bai Ze heard this and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and explained: "I, I didn't! How could I lie to you? I was really scared just now, I thought I was going to die!"

You Su couldn't bear Bai Ze's relentless self-defense. He could see that Bai Ze didn't deliberately lie to him. He was really scared from the bottom of his heart. Or maybe this stupid cat with no scheming could not lie to him at all.

You Su frowned and paced back and forth. The sound of his ice boots hitting the ground made a crisp sound that echoed in the empty ice palace.

The air in the hall was so cold that the air You Su exhaled turned into white mist. He finally sighed and said to Bai Ze:
"I didn't suspect that you were in collusion with him. It was only after I saw the oil pan with my own eyes that I confirmed that I had been fooled." Bai Ze was hung above the oil pan, twisting his body uneasily. The friction of the rope made a "squeaking" sound. He looked at You Su pitifully, his eyes full of grievance and help: "Ding Zhen, what are you talking about? I don't understand..." He sniffed and his tail swung unconsciously.

You Su pointed at the boiling oil pan and said in a serious tone: "Beiaozhou is covered with ice and snow, and the temperature is extremely low. This ice palace is even more cold and windy. It is difficult for the oil pan to boil here."

He paused and continued, "The reason it boils must be that something else was added to it, causing the heat required for boiling to decrease."

As You Su said this, he pulled out Bai Ze's tail that had just fallen into the frying pan and saw that it was intact. There was nothing left except a little oil stain. The icy ground was so shiny that it could clearly reflect the white fur on Bai Ze's tail, without a single charred stain.

In order to further verify his guess, You Sujiang actually put his hand directly into the boiling oil pan.

As expected, he only felt a little burning, far less than the instantaneous burns of ordinary boiling oil. He slowly withdrew his hand under Bai Ze's shocked gaze and wiped it casually on the hem of his clothes. There were some oil stains on the hem of his clothes, but there was no sign of being burned by high temperature.

Bai Ze's eyes widened when he saw this. He finally understood and muttered to himself, "So...she just wanted to scare me..."

Its heart seemed to finally settle down, and it breathed a sigh of relief. Even though it was still hanging, it was not as afraid anymore.

You Su keenly caught a word in Bai Ze's words. He raised his head suddenly, staring at Bai Ze with eyes as sharp as a hawk, and asked quickly:

"'She'? Do you know the person behind the mirror?"

Bai Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that his slip of the tongue would be caught by You Su. He blinked nervously, his eyes flickered, and he stammered, unable to speak.

It licked its lips subconsciously, its eyes wandering, not daring to look directly at You Su. In the ice palace, the man and the beast were in a stalemate, and the air seemed to be frozen.

It seemed to be weighing something in its mind. All the things You Su had done for it just now reappeared in its mind, forming a sharp contrast with the actions of the person behind the mirror. It finally made up its mind and said:
"She won't let me tell you...but...but I want to tell you."

You Su's pupils slightly widened, and his heart softened.

"She is my friend..." Bai Ze's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Friend...?" You Su was still a little confused, and then he was immediately dumbfounded, "You said that person is the Lord of Jianlong Palace?!"

Bai Ze was still hanging pitifully, and could only nod in grievance after hearing this. Both sides were its friends, so it was no wonder it was so embarrassed.

You Su still couldn't get over his shock. He didn't expect that she would come to his door before he even found her.

You Su did not hesitate any longer and quickly rescued Bai Ze. Bai Ze nestled in You Su's arms, looking more lonely than ever.

You Su pursed her lips and felt a little angry towards the Palace Master of Jianlong Palace. Bai Ze trusted her so much, but she used Bai Ze as a threat to torture him.

At this point, You Su also understood why the man appeared in front of Bai Ze and knocked him out, but Bai Ze did not remind him. Because Bai Ze was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his old friend, he did not realize that the old friend was here to capture the new friend.

Bai Ze felt You Su's gentle comfort, his eyes full of tears. He rubbed his chest and sobbed, "I'm sorry... It's my fault. She lied to me. She's not my friend... I shouldn't have come to Shenshan to look for her... "

You Su hugged it tighter, "It's okay, I'm still here."

His tone was gentle, but particularly reassuring.

"Um……"

"I don't know much about this Dragon Palace Master. Tell me how you met her."

Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, then he moved to a comfortable position in You Su's arms and asked:

"Why do you want to know this?"

"If you want to deal with an enemy, it's important to find out who she is. The more you interact with her, the more I have to know. Otherwise, how can I rescue you?"

"Oh..." Bai Ze seemed to have accepted this reason. He shook his head as if recalling something, and then he slowly began to narrate -

Cangshan Mountain is towering into the clouds and is covered with snow all year round. It is a holy mountain in the hearts of many monks in Beiaozhou.

Bai Ze was naughty by nature at that time. Relying on his talent of hiding in the wind and snow, he often teased those who came with a pious heart. Watching them make fools of themselves in panic, Bai Ze found it endlessly entertaining.

One day, Bai Ze was preparing to tease an old man who came to pray for blessings as usual. It cast a spell and turned the road under the old man's feet into a smooth ice surface in an instant. The old man did not expect such an accident, his feet slipped, and the whole person fell towards the edge of the cliff.

At the critical moment, a blue light flashed, and a peerless fairy appeared. She waved her long sleeves, supported the old man steadily, and sent him back to the ground safely.

Bai Ze knew that he had gone too far, so he wanted to escape quickly and not be caught by this powerful woman. However, the female fairy was the master of the Dragon Palace, and she was very powerful, so she easily captured Bai Ze.

It turned out that she came here to investigate the strange things that happened recently in the Holy Mountain. Now she knew that there was a spirit in the Holy Mountain, but it was just an evil spirit that frequently caused trouble.

Bai Ze was of course not convinced, and when he saw the Dragon Palace Master punishing him to follow her to practice, the practice was boring, and as the spirit of Cangshan Mountain, Bai Ze could not stand such a dull and hard practice. But when he saw the woman's majestic appearance of walking freely in the wind and snow to save others, he envied her so much that he finally gave in and followed her all day long.

Cangshan prayed for peace of mind, but it was ineffective. However, someone blamed the Holy Mountain for the death of their relatives in the snowy plains, so they offered poisonous sacrifices. Bai Ze accidentally ate it and was in danger. It was only when the Dragon Palace Master found medicine and accompanied him and took good care of him that Bai Ze was saved.

It was also because of this incident that Bai Ze made up his mind to restrain his naughty temper, become a true god of Cangshan Mountain, and protect the people in the wind and snow.

In his spare time, he saw the Dragon Palace Master sharing her experiences in the human world with Bai Ze, and Bai Ze was fascinated. Bai Ze also learned from her that there were so many powerful black stones on the seashore, guarding the safety of all creatures on the five continents, so Bai Ze was so persistent in protecting the Shenhui Stone, because he was determined to become such a stone himself.

Listening to Bai Ze's heartwarming story, You Su looked solemn, with a faint light flickering in his dark eyes.
