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

Chapter 413 A blessing in disguise
A sword energy broke through the ground and flew into the darkness like a bird away from the flock, never to be seen again.

The sand began to loosen.

The grains of sand were vibrating at an extremely subtle frequency. If you looked closely, you would find that they were all following the same trajectory - rotating to the left with the hole just made by the sword energy as the center.

The rotation slows down the speed at which the sand particles fill up the lower areas, causing a brief gap to appear in the center of the vortex.

Immediately, a young man holding a girl emerged from the center of the vortex.

You Su seemed exhausted, and didn't even have the strength to land smoothly. As soon as he landed, he held the girl and rolled on the sand to relieve the force. But even so, he still used up the last bit of strength to protect the girl in his arms, allowing himself to endure more bumps and bumps, until they rolled more than ten meters before slowly stopping.

You Su's breathing had not yet calmed down, and his chest was heaving violently. He immediately looked down at the girl in his arms. The girl's face was covered with sand and dust, and the tiny particles stuck to her fair skin. The blood was mixed with the milky white pearl from the clams, making her look dirty.

But even in such an embarrassing situation, it could not conceal her delicate facial features. She gently opened her eyes, like an ignorant little deer. Even though her eyes were still a little distracted at the moment, it could not hide the spirit in them. There were a few grains of sand hanging on her velvety eyelashes, which trembled slightly with her weak breathing.

You Su felt relieved to see that the girl was safe and sound. He couldn't help but smile gently and reached out to wipe the dirt off the girl's cheek. His movements were so gentle as if he was treating a fragile piece of porcelain.

"I really crawled out..." You Su was thankful for his ability to escape death.

Bai Ze huddled in You Su's arms, trembling slightly, not knowing whether it was because of fear or weakness. But as long as he looked at this face so close, he would feel at ease. But when the girl was about to follow You Su's example and wipe off the dirt for him, her pupils suddenly dilated.

Because You Su's left eye was like glass burned by lava at this time, and blood lines were winding across his pale cheeks and condensed into scarlet beads on his jaw.

"W-What happened to your eyes?!"

Bai Ze anxiously put his hand on You Su's left cheek, but immediately retracted his hand because of the heat. Even with the naked eye, one can see the purple blood vessels underneath the skin, which expand and contract as if this eye will explode at any time.

"There's sand in my eyes..." You Su grinned. His lips were a little chapped and pale, but he was still telling jokes.

"Don't fool me! What happened?!" Bai Ze was so anxious that he almost started to cry.

"You've overused your eyes... Just close them and relax..."

You Su gritted his teeth and turned over, no longer pressing too heavily on the girl.

The pain in his left eye was accompanied by a severe burning sensation that spread to his entire head. His eyeball was completely bloodshot, red like a lantern with a will-o'-the-wisp hanging from it. Coupled with his exhausted body from repeated battles, he naturally didn't want the girl to know about this unspeakable pain, and he just gasped silently to endure this inhuman pain.

If it weren't for the ability of the Lord's left eye to distort space, even if his accumulated sword intent could poke a hole in the sand pile, it would be difficult for them to get out before the gap healed.

Just as You Su couldn't help coughing because of the dust that accidentally fell into his nasal cavity, a chill enveloped his left eye.

Ice crystals condensed on Bai Ze's fingertips, shining like moonlight, but his wrist was grabbed the moment it touched his eyelids.

"Take it back." You Su's voice was hoarse like a rusty knife scraping bones, and the calluses on her palms made her wrist bones hurt. "The Xuan Qi in your body is still vibrating. Do you think your life is too long?"

Ice chips shattered between their clasped fingers. Bai Ze raised her head, and the faint light of the coral shattered into stars in her eyes.

"But your eyes are bleeding..." The girl half-raised herself, her thin lips bleeding from the pain she was feeling, "If you keep going like this, you'll go blind!"

You Su laughed out loud when he heard this, and murmured, "I'm blind to begin with, take care of your own injury... Don't mess around, trust me, it will heal on its own."

Every time he was seriously injured, You Su would want to thank the pitiful and hateful Tai Sui. If it weren't for Tai Sui's power, he wouldn't be alive today.

The girl sniffed, and tears like dewdrops fell on the corners of You Su's burning red eyes, instantly evaporating into mist.

"Brother Yousu's injury is ten thousand times more painful than Zhenzhu's."

In his tear-filled vision, You Su saw the ice crystals hanging on the girl's eyelashes, like the first snow in the far north that never melts. His Adam's apple rolled, and he was speechless. The scene of them cuddling intimately and breathing through each other's mouths just now reappeared in his mind. He didn't know how to respond to the girl's feelings.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cool and clear light in the twilight world - in the distant swirling mud, a half-round moon stood proudly in it.

You Su was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Look what that is..."

Bai Ze wiped away the tears hanging on his eyelashes, turned his head and looked in the direction You Su pointed, and his pupils trembled the moment he saw the full moon.

That was the huge pearl that was floating in the giant clam before!
A ribbon-like light mist flowed on its surface, turning the surrounding black sand into a galaxy.

Bai Ze's sobbing stopped abruptly. She stared at the pearl in a daze. Her skirt fluttered without wind, and the icy crystals in her hair and the pearl shone in the distance. Even from such a long distance, she could feel the powerful and mysterious energy coming from the pearl.

That was the essence that the giant clam had accumulated over countless years. The first time You Su saw it, he knew it was a treasure that no one in the world had ever heard of, but they were not lucky enough to get it. This was something that the giant clam was supposed to defend with its life, but it was killed by a predator, causing this pearl, which was useless in the eyes of the predator, to be covered in dust and become an ownerless thing.

"It seems that we won't always be unlucky..." You Su's smile was forced, but it came from the heart.

He struggled to get up, still urging:

"This area is all covered in dust and sand, so no other evil spirits have noticed it yet... We must hurry... ahem! The mysterious energy around it is so dense that it has become substantial and can help us recover quickly..."

Although his great joy awakened his weak will, his physical weakness could not be accelerated by his willpower. He had just raised half of his body when he immediately fell to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of hot blood that burned his throat.

Bai Ze anxiously helped him up, wiping away tears, "I'll carry you over!"

"No... You go first, there is no time to lose. Come back and pick me up when you have recovered..."

You Su is extremely stubborn in protecting women. It's not because he is an absolute male chauvinist, but because he is too afraid of losing those close to him, so he doesn't want to see them get hurt.

But before he could finish his hoarse muttering, he felt a wave of fatigue sweeping over his body. He felt numb, as if even his brain had stopped functioning. He forgot what words he was going to say next, and he fell irresistibly into the girl's arms. In the last moment before closing his eyes, he vaguely saw Bai Ze's face stretching infinitely in the pearly halo - and finally he fell into a deep sleep.

The girl's blood-stained skirt moved without wind, and her twin ponytails also fluttered with it.

There was a wrist-width gash on her right shoulder, and blood had long since dyed her pink skirt red, but she was holding You Su's hand with her right hand incredibly steadily.

She slowly took out her hand from behind You Su's neck, which was covered with cold air. What made You Su fall into a deep sleep was the fatigue that had accumulated for a long time, but what made him numb and unable to bear the fatigue was the cold air that the girl quietly injected into his body from his spine.

"As a brother, you can't always let your sister hide behind you..."

The girl caressed the boy's face lovingly with her hand, and that face, which was always filled with ignorance, now revealed a godly nobleness.

"My brother's family rules are really strict... and you're the one who can control your anger with your mouth."

Although her words sounded like complaints, her tone did not reveal any displeasure, but rather a hint of love and affection. She raised her eyes slightly, and when her eyes fell, it seemed as if even the full moon in the distance had stopped shining.

"She tried her best to kill me, but she didn't expect that I would turn a disaster into a blessing... Not only did I awaken my consciousness, but I also had the opportunity to return to the top of the mountain..."

She reluctantly took back her hand that was caressing You Su's cheek. No one knew whether the blessing in disguise she mentioned was the pearl in the distance that was enough to let her regain all her strength, or the young man in front of her who always protected her. She slowly stood up, and in a blink of an eye, she turned from a young girl into the handsome and extraordinary beast Bai Ze, and You Su was gently held in her mouth.

A drop of crystal saliva dripped from her lips and teeth. She really wanted to eat this man...

……

The halo on the surface of the pearl was pouring down like moonlight, and Bai Ze was carrying You Su as they trudged through the sea of ​​sand.

She placed You Su steadily on the ground and immediately changed back into human form.

She first placed her hand on this huge pearl, carefully feeling the amazingly thick and heavy mysterious energy within it. Just absorbing a few strands gave her strength.

She just flipped her hands, and a circle of ice crystal wall suddenly appeared around the two of them.

She looked at the sleeping boy again and said with a sigh, "Sometimes it's not that I don't want to help my brother, but the divine beasts don't know how to use magic, so I can only use some simple tricks. I hope you can understand."

After saying that, she playfully poked You Su's face, as if she had turned back into the ignorant little kitten.

After experiencing the power of Xuanqi herself, Bai Ze was sure that it would not harm her body. So she turned her finger into an ice cone and smashed it on the pearl without hesitation. After chiseling it more than ten times, she finally cracked a hole on the perfect surface of the pearl.

Then, the milky white liquid condensed from the mysterious Qi meandered down from the cracks in the pearl's body, like a glowing stream, gently flowing over You Su's scarred body.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, Bai Ze seemed to have thought of something. He bent down and licked his burning red eyelids. The icy blue cold air penetrated into his skin along the tip of his tongue, temporarily sealing his out-of-control left eye.

"I told you, this is how I usually lick my wounds."

The girl's eyes were cunning, and she seemed to enjoy doing whatever she wanted to You Su when he was asleep, doing things he couldn't do when he was awake. If she wasn't afraid that You Su would notice something strange or resist being intimate with her, she would have wanted to do it last time, but in the end she held back and used her hands to freeze his wound.

Looking at the young man's face so close to her, Bai Ze's lips involuntarily moved slowly down from You Su's eyes and covered the place where You Su had breathed for her before.

Fortunately, it was the first time that Bai Ze took the initiative. She was ready to explode with just a slight touch. Then her pretty face turned red like a spring peach, and her breath smelled like orchid, looking shy, as if she was not the one who took the initiative to stick out her tongue under the sand pile.

The pearl liquid soaked through You Su's body, and the abundant Xuan Qi seeped into his limbs and bones. A faint golden lotus pattern appeared between You Su's eyebrows, which seemed to be foreshadowing the body's absorption of the Xuan Qi.

Bai Ze was slightly surprised when he saw the lotus pattern, and said to himself: "This is the immortal seed planted by the Lotus Sword Venerable... You actually have a connection with her? But how could a woman like her damage her origin and plant an immortal seed for you?"

"Master's Wife..."

A whisper suddenly escaped from You Su's throat, and his hot fingers grasped Bai Ze's slender wrist.

Bai Ze trembled all over as he watched him rub the back of his hand against his cheek, as if it was someone's black hair.

"I'm not your master's wife."

Bai Ze pouted her lips, then frowned slightly, looking at You Su, who had always behaved like a gentleman, in disbelief:

"Who would think of Master's Wife first when they are unconscious?!"

A playful smile soon appeared on Bai Ze's lips, as if he had discovered some hidden secret of You Su.

"He has more than one Taoist partner, and there is also the Venerable Qianhua. Now there is also a mistress... It seems that my brother is really a romantic man..."

By the end of his words, his tone had become increasingly dangerous. Bai Ze condensed the Xuan Qi into ice needles in a fit of anger, but he used less force when piercing You Su's meridians. He only carefully opened up those meridians that were blocked due to the serious injury.

If the master's wife is okay, then my younger sister is even better, right?

The pearl liquid accumulated in the ice circle and slowly formed a pool. You Su's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his pale face showed a vague smile, and he had no intention of waking up at all.

He was falling deeper into a dream.

……

You Su's consciousness was like falling into a pool of warm spring water. As his eyelashes trembled, the familiar cold fragrance seeped into his lungs.

When he opened his eyes, there was a half-cup of cold tea on the bluestone table. The curling tea smoke outlined a white figure - He Shutong was standing with her back to him in front of the carved window. The moonlight flowed along her drooping black hair, and a few blue frost crystals condensed on the ends of her hair, as if the broken snow from the Milky Way was adorned on a crow's feathers.

"Master's wife..."

He called out softly, and outside the window, it was drizzling with rain, and the sky was gloomy. But this did not prevent him from being in a good mood. When he saw his master's wife, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.

He Shutong suddenly looked back, and You Su's breath stagnated in his chest. The most fascinating thing about Master's wife is still her eyes - the color of her pupils is as clear as the cold jade of Kunlun, and when her eyes are lowered, it seems to melt the snow water for thousands of years, blending the cold and tenderness into a thrilling shimmer. At this moment, ripples appeared in her eyes, and her cinnabar-painted lips moved slightly, as if she was restraining the tenderness in her heart, but in the end it turned into a plain sentence:
"You finally woke up."

You Su was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that many days had passed since he last entered his master's wife's dream. No wonder his master's wife's sigh was mixed with complex and unspeakable anxiety and resentment.

You Su wanted to continue playing the innocent disciple, so he could only say blankly: "Have I slept for a long time...?"

"A long time." He Shutong answered straightforwardly, then raised her jade hand and passed a whiff of medicinal fragrance to his nose.

He Shutong kept her eyes down and didn't look at his face, but the medicine cup held in her bare hands was as steady as a rock, and the edge of the bowl was exactly the same as the curve of the corner of his lips.

Is it medicine?

You Su wanted to take it, "Disciple himself..."

"do not move."

She lightly pressed down his raised hand with her fingertips, her frosty nails covering the whiteness of the new snow by three points. You Su felt that this time in his dream, the master's wife had a domineering manner that was not usually seen.

"You are mentally unstable, you need to drink this bowl of tranquilizer while it's hot—"

Before You Su could refuse, his master's wife forced him to drink the bitter medicine.

The medicine was not warm, and it was obvious that it had been prepared long ago.

You Su habitually pretended to be weak in front of his master's wife, "Master's wife, this medicine is so bitter..."

"Good medicine tastes bitter. You have been sleeping for a long time, which is an illness. Drink this tranquilizing drink, it will refresh your mind and help you stay awake for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a glazed wind chime suddenly rang under the eaves.
