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

Chapter 469 It’s better to be blind

The bamboo hut where He Shutong lives is hidden among the lush greenery on the northern foot of the volcano. There are many volcanoes in Dongying Island. This volcano is named Snake Mountain because it is located in the territory of the snake clan.

However, the snakes like the shade by nature, and they are not interested in volcanoes, which are a good place for practicing fire magic. They even have a faint resistance to them. Therefore, on weekdays, there are basically no snakes that are not afraid of heat and run to the volcano. Even in the eyes of outsiders, this volcano may be the most valuable thing of the snakes.

But the strange thing is that after the snakes were eliminated from the sacred mountain, they had to return to this ancestral land to reproduce. But since they themselves are snakes that don't like heat, why did the ancestors of the snakes choose to place their tribe on the edge of the volcano?
In response to this question, Ji Lingruo replied that it was probably because their ancestors chose this place as a second choice, or maybe the volcano was already a famous treasure land in Japan, so whether they liked it or not, it would not be a disadvantage to occupy one.

You Su just listened to it as an anecdote and soon arrived at the courtyard where He Shutong and Wangshu were hiding.

The copper bell hanging in front of the corridor was stirred by the hot wind, and the tinkling sound wrapped in the smell of sulfur brushed against You Su's eyelashes. He looked at the green vines hanging under the corridor, the leaves were particularly green due to the steaming ground air, just like his wildly beating heart at the moment.

Ji Lingruo suddenly stopped, You Su looked back in confusion, and the girl pushed him forward:
"Brother, please go in by yourself. Master has come to see you several times. I think she would like to talk to you alone."

You Su was moved by what he heard. His junior sister had become so considerate. He liked her so much that he couldn't help but hugged her and kissed her again.

Ji Lingruo pretended to be disgusted and dodged twice, but finally let the young man get his wish.

"Don't be so conceited. I haven't practiced for too long. Now that you and Senior Sister have both achieved breakthroughs, I am embarrassed to go see Master... I will wait for you outside the forest. It's a good time to restart my practice! If I'm not well, don't wake me up."

Having said that, the girl turned around and ran away.

You Su smiled, thinking that since he was already here, it was time to restart his "cultivation" with his junior sister, so he continued to walk towards the bamboo hut.

Even when he reached the door, You Su couldn't help but hesitate.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.

He was overjoyed at the reunion with his master's wife, grateful to her for saving him, and of course, a deeper sense of guilt. The guilt was not only because of his transgression against her in the dream, but also because of his leaving without saying goodbye.

It was undoubtedly an extremely irresponsible act to make those who cared about him worry for half a year. Even if he were in his shoes, You Su would probably be angry.

"Squeak-"

The bamboo door opened without wind, and the cool breeze that came in was wrapped in the refreshing lotus fragrance.

You Su suddenly raised his eyes, knowing that his worries were unnecessary. Even if the master's wife was angry, she would never reject him.

Walk into the bamboo gate and take a few steps, and you will see a white gauze like smoke and mist behind the pearl curtain.

He Shutong sat upright on a lotus platform, her thin gauze dress revealing a lilac-colored lining. Her extremely beautiful face seemed to always be so dignified.

Although she was wearing the same outfit as before, nothing was exposed, but the more transparent fabric seemed to prove that she was also feeling hot on the edge of the volcano.

You Su's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes subconsciously swept across the thrilling arc. The heat waves rising from the volcano seemed to be condensed in this small space, dyeing the upper edge of the collar wet.

He quickly retracted his gaze and saluted, "Master's Wife..."

He Shutong's fingertips curled up unconsciously, not knowing where the young man's burning gaze had just passed. The dogwood hidden under the gauze swelled slightly, and the strange feeling of being kneaded in the dream seemed to have been brought into reality.

She suddenly regretted wearing this gauze dress to keep out the heat. In the eyes of the snake woman, this gauze dress that wrapped the whole body had no effect in keeping out the heat, but it was the lightest clothing ever worn by this conservative fairy.

Although the body of a Dongxu is not afraid of cold or heat, she is not a normal Dongxu at all.

The words "Master's wife is so beautiful" he said before he fell into coma showed that he was no longer blind, and I should have changed into more appropriate clothes when he came.

But she thought again, even if she was wearing a fur coat on the edge of the volcano, it would be the same. He did such a thing in his dream, how could she resist taking a glance at him? She couldn't gouge out his eyes, could she?
Fortunately... he really only glanced at me. Otherwise, I really don't know how to criticize him...

"Can you see with your eyes now?" The fairy's voice was calm, neither happy nor sad.

You Su's heart skipped a beat. The fact that his master's wife asked this meant that she must have noticed his gaze just now, but she just didn't intend to pursue it.

He secretly cursed in his heart and lowered his head even deeper:
"My left eye has recovered."

He Shutong raised her eyebrows slightly. The moment she confirmed the answer, her happiness for You Su surpassed everything else:
"This is a blessing. Your original goal of cultivation was to have a pair of eyes that could see. Now you have fulfilled half of your wish. From now on, you will be able to see all the beautiful scenery in the world. If your master knew, he would definitely be happy for you."

"Thank you, Master."

You Su bowed and saluted, but after the ceremony, he suddenly knelt on the wooden board with a plop, and the guilt in his eyes was sincere and sincere:

"I owe my present life to Master's Wife, but I have failed her. I faked my own death and left without permission, which damaged the reputation of the sect. Master's Wife and Senior Sister were all implicated by me! Now Master's Wife has to cross the North Sea to rescue me, and Senior Sister is in a coma. It's really..."

"despair."

A drop of fragrant sweat splashed on the wooden board in front of You Su. He Shutong had arrived in front of him without him knowing.

You Su didn't dare to look up, but his eyes were focused on the bare toes under the fairy's skirt.

The pair of jade feet were lightly tapping on the wooden board, with the toes having a coral pink color, like two graceful white and pink lotus flowers.

He was so fascinated by the sight, he felt that this was indeed a beautiful sight in the world!

Seeing the young man hanging his head, He Shutong felt even more reluctant, so he placed his slender hands on his tense knuckles and gently pulled him up.

"I know you must have your reasons for what you did. We are all family, there is no need to say these things."

You Su looked up in astonishment, looking at the gentle fairy who always tolerated him so much. Perhaps because of the steam, the fragrance of this cold fairy seemed to become warmer as he got closer.

The double stimulation of psychology and physiology made You Su's heart restless, and he only regretted why this was not a dream. If he were in a dream, he would throw himself into the arms of his master's wife without hesitation, hug her tightly and feel her warmth.

"Master's wife... I'm really sorry..."

Before he could finish his words, He Shutong pointed his jade finger at his lips, stopping the boy from apologizing any further.

He Shutong took back her jade finger calmly after just a light touch, but she felt regretful in her heart. She was in a trance for a moment, as if she was still in a dream, and she actually made such an intimate move towards You Su in reality, which was really wrong.

"I know you feel sorry for Lotus Peak, but without you, Lotus Peak would be meaningless. Even if there are storms, it's enough for you to be alive."

He Shutong's lips curled slightly, "If you were your senior sister or junior sister, we would do the same."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the lotus platform with light lotus steps, leaving behind only her graceful back and a fragrance in her heart.

"Just sit on the floor," she said.

You Su felt extremely ashamed, but still did as he was told.

"Master's wife, is Senior Sister still not awake?"

"Her enlightenment this time is extraordinary." He Shutong pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm afraid she is about to break through to the Void Realm."

You Su's eyes widened when he heard this and he almost sat up in shock.

But he was also very clear that the fact that his master's wife said this despite her hesitation meant that this was most likely the case.

"Looking back through the ages, I'm afraid there's no such young person who has reached the Void Realm. If I hadn't restricted her, perhaps she could have reached this realm earlier." He Shutong shook her head gently, "I've already told you about your sister's original form. As the essence of heaven and earth, it's not surprising that she would be so magical. It's just that your sister doesn't crave cultivation. She started practicing just to get my praise. But now she's taking the initiative to embrace power, perhaps... it's because of you."

You Su remained silent for a long time after hearing this, thinking back to the crystal clear white fairy on the top of the mountain. His appearance had really changed her a lot.

He seemed to have made his senior sister more like a human, but being a human was so hard, and he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for his senior sister. Would his senior sister regret becoming a human?

Seeing that he was silent, He Shutong continued, "I'm not saying this to blame you. She practiced because she wanted to get my praise, and now she practices to get the power to protect others. Pursuits are never a burden to her, but a good thing. I even wondered if my previous discipline suppressed her nature, but you liberated it for her." You Su was too ashamed to flatter herself, and said ashamedly, "Sister, as long as you like it, I support you no matter what you do. But to break through the cave, don't you still need to find your life object? Why are you in seclusion now?"

“I am also surprised, but your sister is different from ordinary people. Maybe she doesn’t need her life object at all, or maybe she has already found it.” This is why He Shutong didn’t dare to confirm whether she was breaking through the Void Realm. “But you can rest assured, she is just in seclusion, and her body is not damaged at all.”

You Su nodded slightly when he heard this, and felt a little relieved.

"I know you have a lot of questions. Ask them. After you finish asking, I will ask you more questions." He Shutong sat up straighter and rarely showed an attitude of serious torture to You Su.

You Su's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked, "How did Master's wife know that I was in Beiaozhou?"

This issue is indeed what he cares about most.

He himself had imagined many possibilities, including the ability to predict the future, the lotus seed and the ability to locate, but these were obviously impossible.

He even had a bold guess, that is, his master's wife guessed it based on his initial strong interest in Venerable Qianlong and Beiao in his dream... But his master's wife's subsequent performance made him basically conclude that this possibility was zero.

The most likely reason should be what Hua Jing's head monk told Master's wife. She made two preparations, one was to let Sister Yaoyao come to tip off, the other was to let Master's wife protect him in advance.

But He Shutong's answer was beyond You Su's expectations.

"The Saint of Yuhuan Pond told me."

Saint? But wasn't Saint Yudie already dead?

The Saint of Yuhuan Pond reflects the life state of Zangtu at the bottom of the pond, and is also the continuation of Zangshui's life. But Zangtu is dead, and Zangshui has given up possessing Miss Xueruo, so Yudie is naturally the last Saint. How can there be another Saint in Yuhuan Pond?

"Master's wife, who is the current Saint of Yuhuan Pond?"

He Shutong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became brighter:

"You do not trust me?"

"Of course not!" You Su hastily denied, "It's just that I went to Yuhuan Pool and thought the Saint Girl would disappear from then on."

He Shutong paused for a moment before answering, "I already know everything about Yuhuanchi. The saints are Yumeng and Yulong. They are both the contemporary saints of Yuhuanchi."

You Su was even more surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the twin maids who wanted him to take them away would become the most honorable saints in Yuhuan Pool.

But how do they know my whereabouts?

You Su suddenly thought of something, and the white and tender little fish suddenly appeared in his mind.

There must be someone behind the dramatic changes in Yu Meng and Yu Long, and now the only fish in the Yuhuan Pond that has such ability is that fish!

The little white fish is a spirit in the Yuhuan Pond that was conceived by itself. It even knows that it is the true Lord. It is also the one who returned the memory of Cangshui to Cangshui, who was reborn as a saint of all generations. Until now, it has been covered with a mysterious veil. For it, it may not be impossible to know where it is.

"After Lotus Peak was surrounded, your senior sister and I have been hiding in the secret realm provided by Yuhuanchi." He Shutong added, "The boat I took to Beiao was lent to me by Yuhuanchi. They wanted me to save you."

The Yuhuan Pool is surrounded by water, so it is not surprising that such a fairy ship can be built there.

Although You Su felt that this answer was beyond his expectations, it was also reasonable.

But he didn't know that the thin layer of sweat on He Shutong's snow-white neck, who was not good at lying, was not only due to the heat and weakness, but also to nervousness.

Borrowing the boat was true, and they also really wanted to save You Su, but the source of the information was not the saint or the little white fish, but the dream she had woven herself.

"I see. It seems that I owe Yuhuanchi a big favor this time..." You Su bowed again, "Master's wife's life-saving grace, You Su will always remember it in his heart!"

He Shutong did not respond, but asked, "Do you have any questions?"

You Su pursed his lips, then suddenly raised his eyes and said seriously, "How much damage did Master Madam suffer in this battle with that Master Heng Lian?"

He was almost certain that his master's wife was in a very bad condition.

The summer in Japan is extremely hot, and it is near a volcano, so those snake girls wear such cool clothes. But You Su didn't feel that hot after he reached the Feather Transformation Realm, and the physique of the Dongxu Master was even more invulnerable to the cold and heat, but the Master's Wife would sweat like the Junior Sister in the Condensation Water Realm, which was absolutely abnormal.

"That was his clone, I was not hurt." He Shutong answered calmly.

"Now that Master's wife is in Japan, how should she refine her life-saving object?" You Su asked immediately.

"The natal object has already stabilized. There is no need to stabilize it with the water from the Jade Ring Pool. All that is left is to practice in silence."

"But this war, is it possible that it has no impact on Master's Wife at all?"

"No." He Shutong answered fluently.

You Su was stunned for a moment, and then he became slightly angry at the master's wife for hiding the truth from him. However, he was angry at himself for forcing the master's wife to take action:

"Master's wife can't deceive Su'er. How can you feel hot here with your hollow body?"

He Shutong subconsciously wanted to retort that he didn't feel hot here, but considering that the young man had regained his sight now, he was afraid that he must have seen his sweat.

Looking at it this way, I actually feel that it would have been better for the young man to regain his sight later.

You Su probably didn't know that after he finally regained his sight, the women he loved were hoping that he was blind again.

He Shutong thought for a long time, finally sighed and said helplessly:
"It didn't hurt my natal object, so it's not a big deal. My realm has just dropped, but the lotus root heart is still intact. I just need to stabilize my natal object and replenish my Xuanqi. Fortunately, this Snake Mountain is an active volcano and has rarely been developed. It contains countless fire essences. Although it is a little hot, the concentration of Xuanqi is not inferior to that of a Feng Shui treasure land. When my realm returns to its original state, it will naturally not be hot to me."

You Su only felt that Master's Wife's words were light and could make even Master Dongxu feel hot. How much realm did he fall? Of course, he would not believe what Master's Wife said.

"Can……"

"Okay, it's my turn to ask you." He Shutong did not let You Su finish his question. Instead, he frowned and acted like a strict teacher, which he rarely showed in front of You Su.

You Su was intimidated by the master's wife's aura. He knew that she was still hiding something from him, but it might not be so easy to get her to confess. Continuing to ask would only cause the master's wife to resist, so he had to think about it carefully.

"It's okay to ask, Master's wife."

"Master Henglian is targeting you, do you know why?"

You Su shook his head upon hearing this, "Maybe it has something to do with my life experience. I'm afraid they covered my eyes with it."

He Shutong thought for a moment, and seemed to realize that this disciple had an extraordinary destiny, and sighed:
"I have no intention of asking for your secret, but if you don't tell me, it will be difficult for me to help you."

"Su'er definitely didn't hide it from Master's Wife on purpose! She was just afraid that Master's Wife would find out... She would be afraid to accept me as her disciple..."

He Shutong was slightly stunned and felt inexplicably touched.

Why is he always so cautious when facing me?
I guess it was because of my previous indifference that he was too afraid of losing his current self...

Maybe it was too hot, or maybe she wanted to get closer. She rolled up her long sleeves to her elbows, revealing a pair of slender, white arms.

She raised her jade hand and waved to the young man who bowed his head:
"Come closer and tell me."
