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

Chapter 430: The Self-willed Foolish Woman

The night was suddenly cold, and the wind and snow on the long street of Frost City seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand.

Venerable Qianlong touched the ice lotus blooming in the air with his toes, and his wide sleeves with dragon pattern fluttered, bringing with them a pressure like a galaxy hanging upside down.

The shadow of Venerable Ningshuang's Dharma image flickered in the snow and fog, and the twelve broken black ice chains were like dying silver snakes, twisting and twitching on the ice surface.

"My Lord, please don't joke. This guy is committing a crime in the street. He is a very vicious person. Please stay away for a while. I will execute him on the spot!"

A low roar like thunder rolled out from Venerable Ningshuang's throat, and the broken ice edges condensed into a frost blade in his palm.

You Su's sword was still against the severed throat of the sinister young master. He sneered when he heard this: "I told your son to stay still, but he didn't listen to me and tried to scam me, so he hit my sword with his neck. I can't say anything, but you're blaming me?"

Before he finished speaking, the Mosong Sword was suddenly entangled by an ice crystal chain that appeared out of thin air, and the mysterious runes climbed up his wrist along the sword. Venerable Qianlong raised his fingertips lightly, and the snow and wind turned into a cage to cover him. Behind him, the girl with cold eyebrows was also caught in the snow and wind prison.

But this seemingly imprisonment formation actually blocked the majestic frost that Venerable Ningshuang was attacking from underground.

"Venerable Qianlong is trying to shield the evildoer!" Venerable Ningshuang shouted loudly, shocking many people around him and making their legs go weak.

The tone could no longer be described as a question, but rather a reproach.

Venerable Qianlong narrowed his starry eyes slightly, and when she glanced at him, the biting cold seeped into the bottom of her eyes.

"The Lord of Shuang City seems to know more about shielding evildoers than I do, right?" Venerable Qianlong's sleeves trembled, and the city guards could not bear the pressure and knelt down. "Lord Shuang City may have forgotten that you spent a lot of effort to make your youngest son one of the candidates for the Immortal Ancestor Temple. Then according to the laws of the God Mountain, those who murder the Immortal Ancestor Temple should be judged by the Immortal Ancestor Temple! Lord Shuang City, don't you even care about the laws of the God Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Ningshuang's pupils shrank suddenly, and the image behind him dimmed a little. A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his fists hidden in his long sleeves were clenched tightly until the bones were protruding. This silent confrontation lasted for a moment, and then he clasped his fists and saluted:

"Please Lord, please understand!"

Venerable Qianlong smiled contemptuously, and in an instant the two ice crystal cages suddenly shrank into two dragon-binding ropes.

You Su's limbs were all tied up by immortal ropes, and she felt as if her whole body was sinking into a quagmire. Bai Ze frowned, and You Su looked at her deformed arms and neck, and soon realized that this Qianlong Venerable must have punished her privately.

Venerable Ningshuang's pupils flickered. He clearly saw that the dragon-binding rope made of black ice strangely merged into the girl's body when it touched her skin.

Venerable Ningshuang suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "The dragon-binding rope made of Arctic black iron... Good! Venerable Qianlong really enforces the law impartially! He is willing to use even the dragon-binding rope that suppresses the Dongxu realm on this little girl!"

Venerable Qianlong seemed not to hear anything. The hem of her skirt embroidered with dragon patterns moved without wind. With a tap of her jade fingers, nine phantoms of icy dragons rose from the command cord on her waist.

The residual souls of these ancient mythical beasts circled and roared around You Su and the others. Every dragon roar made the long streets of Frost City tremble.

"Three days later at noon, at the Sky Punishment Platform of the Divine Mountain of Kongyuan."

Venerable Qianlong turned around and shattered the ice steps hanging in the sky. Her voice floated down from the clouds, and nine ice dragons followed closely behind her, holding the two bound people in their mouths.

She is one of the few powerful people who can fly in the Sky Plains, because the rules do not apply to those who make them.

A snowflake fell on the trembling fingertips of Venerable Ningshuang, and a voice suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Take good care of the Frost City Fire Array, and don't let the warm wind damage your brain. Three days later, I will make an exception and allow you to come to the Heavenly Punishment Platform to personally carry out the execution."

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the remaining trace of the ice dragon in the sky.

In fact, he also understood the seriousness of executing the candidates for Immortal Officials. Three days was the shortest interrogation time, and the execution would basically be carried out by Immortal Officials who specialized in punishment.

Suffering from the pain of losing his son, he would never kill his enemy himself according to the procedure. If he killed the boy here, he might be punished for breaking the law. So Venerable Qianlong did not come to him specifically to snatch the person, but also to warn him to stay awake.

But he did not feel grateful for Venerable Qianlong's "exception". It seemed that in his opinion, Venerable Qianlong's self-proclaimed "combination of kindness and severity" was just a joke.

"You are the most outstanding Lord in Beiaozhou, but you can only use magic weapons to intimidate others... It seems that you are just as I expected, you have long been a person who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside..."

He licked the ice from the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with the coldness of a venomous snake.

……

When You Su woke up in the fragrance of flowers, his fingertips touched the cold stone wall.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw millions of roses sprouting from the cracks in the mossy bricks, turning the entire secret room into a sea of ​​flowers.

The colorful scene gave You Su an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Looking at the perspective mirror hanging on the wall, he suddenly woke up. This was the damp dungeon where he had stayed before. It was through the mirror that he saw Bai Ze hanging on the oil pan.

"I heard that you are one of the partners of Bihua Pavilion. I guess you have had some interactions with the Bihua Venerable. How do you think the flowers here compare to hers?"

When a noble voice sounded, You Su's hair stood on end and he turned around suddenly.

A swing woven with vines hung from the ceiling of the secret room. Venerable Qianlong, who had lived for hundreds of years, was leaning on it and swaying gently like a child. The dragon patterns on his skirt moved with the light and shadow, as if a living creature was swimming.

You Su stood up by holding onto the stone wall, and the chain on his wrist made a clear sound. It was not made of black iron, but a long chain made of some dark red flower vine. He was a little bit unbelievable:

"Are these all grown from the black soil transformed from evil spirits?!"

Venerable Qianlong tapped his toes lightly, and the swing swung up, bringing with it a scattering of iris petals:

"It seems that she has really woken up..." After a moment of melancholy, she looked down at the boy with a look of condescension, the sneer in her eyes was more piercing than the chains:

"I never thought that you were really a lackey of the evil spirit. I wondered why you followed her into the well so decisively. It turns out that you had something to rely on, and you were able to bring her back to the sacred mountain from that abyss. Tell me, what was your purpose in saving her?"

Upon hearing this, You Su suddenly laughed out loud, causing the vines to tremble.

Venerable Qianlong frowned slightly. She could understand any expression You Su made, but she couldn't understand why he laughed. In her opinion, this could only be the helpless laugh of a loser who succumbed to his predetermined fate, but she couldn't hear any helplessness in You Su's laugh.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at your arrogance. The so-called saving Bei Ao is nothing but a joke."

As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed, and the scent of roses wrapped in blood surged.

Venerable Qianlong crushed a crimson petal with his fingertips, and the juice flowed down her jade-white wrist, while the same winding bloodstain appeared on You Su's arm, making him gasp in pain.

"You and I are not enemies." Venerable Qianlong stood up from the swing. She was tall and straight, and her beautiful face was naturally aggressive. "I harbored ill will towards you only because you stood on her side. Give me the Tianxing Lingguang, and stop being stubborn. I will let you go."

"You want the Awakening Light?" You Su sneered, "Do you want to break through the Awakening Light, or do you want to use it to scare those who think you are just bullying others..."

Before You Su could finish her words, the vines suddenly tightened around his neck, pressing him heavily against the ice wall. The young man gasped in pain, but he still stared into her angry eyes, refusing to yield.

"She really told you everything..." Venerable Qianlong looked at You Su with disdain, "Then did she tell you that although I can't be considered as the upper realm of Dongxu without her, but if she leaves this body, she can only be the perfect transformation of feathers!"

The vines suddenly tightened, and the sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard. Venerable Qianlong seemed to be using her own strength to prove that even if she was not in her prime, she was more than enough to deal with Bai Ze and You Su.

"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Give me the spiritual light, and I can protect you from the hands of Venerable Ningshuang. Killing a loyal and good immortal official... This is a serious crime that will destroy both your soul and your spirit!"

"Loyal and good? If I were afraid of him, I wouldn't have rid the people of harm in the street!" You Su snorted coldly.

"Get rid of harm for the people?!" Venerable Qianlong rolled up his sleeves, and the ice spikes pierced the boy's shoulder blade like poisonous fangs, "Do you think I will allow that idiot to become a candidate for the Immortal Official? That is a hidden danger that I have planted for Venerable Ningshuang! When the mission is accomplished, his son who is an Immortal Official will be the ironclad evidence to judge his crimes! But you killed him in the street, where can I find the weakness of that old fox! He is just an ignorant child, who thinks he is the only one awake in the world in the middle of the chess game!"

You Su felt a sweet taste rising in his throat, but he sneered, "I don't understand chess, but I can see the corpses under the chessboard. Your so-called grand plan to change the world has long been eaten away by the ground! Those formations used to absorb the black soil from the seabed have become evil caves for the evil tide to invade!"

"presumptuous!"

Venerable Qianlong teleported in front of You Su and pinched his jaw with her nails stained with red. The mysterious Qi burst into a cold mist at her fingertips, which seeped into the boy's pale skin:
"What a clumsy provocation! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!"

The chain on You Su's wrist clanged, and the flying shuttle of the Lord of Jiahong City flew out from his sleeve and landed at the feet of Venerable Qianlong.

"You are not even as good as a three-year-old child! This is the flying magic weapon of the Lord of Hongcheng! He even died outside the city gate in order to protect the people of Hongcheng! The Beiaozhou that you wanted to save is falling into deeper dire straits because of your arbitrary decision, but you are still being deceived here, dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period when Beiaozhou will rise!"

Venerable Qianlong's pupils suddenly shrank, and the icy blade on her fingertips hovered three inches from the boy's heart. The urge to kill the person in front of her had almost reached its peak, but for some reason, she stopped her hand.

You Su coughed up blood and sneered, "In the Beiaozhou that you can't see, some people can't even keep their bodies intact! But in the places you can see, there are singing and dancing, birds singing and flowers blooming. What are they celebrating? Are they celebrating that you have found the pure land that can save the world? Or are they celebrating the demise of Beiaozhou!"

"What an evil demon!"

The ice blade suddenly exploded into powder. Venerable Qianlong shouted fiercely. The thorny vines made of ice pierced through You Su's limbs and nailed him in the air. Blood seeped into the black soil along the flower stems. "I am curious why you are so eager to fall into my trap even though you know you can't win. It turns out that you think you can defeat me by attacking my mind. But do you think you can sway my mind with just a few words? My goal of revitalizing Beiao has been throughout my cultivation career. Even if the Lord of Dreamland comes in person, my mind is as strong as iron!"

The young man laughed out loud in the midst of severe pain, "The Lord of Dreams really can't bewitch a fool who has already bewitch himself! If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself! You don't dare, because you are afraid of discovering that what I said is true, and you are the culprit who destroyed Beiao?!"

"Do you think I will fall for such a clumsy trick?" She wrapped her fingertips around a whip made of ice crystals, and the tip of the whip swept across the boy's bloody collarbone. "The Dragon Palace Master knows best that the sea well under the sacred mountain is the top priority of my plan. She must be waiting for me to leave the mountain so that she can destroy my thirty years of hard work."

Venerable Qianlong's skirt, embroidered with dragon patterns, swept across the flowers on the ground. The fingertips that pinched You Su's chin shone with a cold blue light, but her voice was as gentle as a lover's whisper:

"Instead of helping that traitor with his vain words, why not think about your good sister who misses you day and night..."

You Su's pupils shrank suddenly, and the chain on his wrist tightened. The dark red flower vine sensed his struggle, and the thorns pierced deeper into his flesh, but he seemed to feel no pain, and the rage in his eyes almost burned through the beautiful and cold face in front of him.

"What did you do to my senior sister!!"

"Why do you think I was able to open this sea well?" Venerable Qianlong stroked the back of Yousu's hand, which was bulging with blue veins. The nail polish glowed bloody under the reflection of the ice crystals. "Fairy Wangshu's innate pure blood is the best primer. In return, I kindly told her the truth. Her good junior brother was deceived and used by a sinister beast."

Venerable Qianlong raised his sleeves lightly, and the ice mist condensed into a mirror in the air. The mirror reflected the prison deep underground, and the snow-white skirt of Fairy Wangshu was soaked in blood. The snow sword in her hand was pointing directly at Bai Ze who was curled up in the corner.

"What an interesting drama." Venerable Qianlong pressed his bloody fingertips on You Su's chest, "When Fairy Wangshu killed her, did she recognize that this was your friend whom you risked your life to protect? Or" she suddenly leaned close to the boy's ear, breathing like a venomous snake, "In her eyes, this Bai Ze was the evil demon that bewitched you?"

There was a roar of ice breaking underground, and Bai Ze in the mirror was blown away by the sword energy, and his back hit the black ice wall engraved with runes. You Su watched the blood vomited by the girl bloom red plums on the ice surface, and in a trance he returned to the bottom of the sea - at that time, Bai Ze was also curled up beside the giant clam bead, using the last bit of black energy to condense a black ice barrier for him.

The chain finally broke under the heavy load, and You Su supported himself with one hand when he fell, his palm cut by ice. He looked up at the Qianlong Master with a terrifyingly bright look, and the sword intent of the Mosong Sword flowed around him like a dark cloud before a snowstorm.

"Swinging a sword at an unbeatable person is not bravery, it is stupidity." Venerable Qianlong remained calm.

You Su smiled in return. He had already realized the true nature of this woman, a stubborn and foolish woman who would not listen to any advice. It was simply wishful thinking to use words to make her realize her mistake.

At the entrance of this garden that was converted from a prison, a mask with a jade rabbit pattern appeared in the light curtain.
