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

Chapter 474 The Snake Ladies Who Believe in You Su
The hot sunlight shines through the window lattice, casting tiny golden spots on the blue bricks.

You Su half leaned on the edge of the couch, his fingertips gently stroking Ji Lingruo's black hair that was scattered on the pillow.

The girl curled up beside him, a few red marks on her snow-white shoulders, and the green scales behind her earlobes shone like glass in the morning light, making her look like a little green snake sleeping soundly after being satisfied.

You Su chuckled silently, took out the folding fan and fanned her lovingly, but he rubbed his temples and felt that last night was just like a dream.

Miss Xue Ruo is like a hedgehog covered with thorns, or a proud swan.
You Su couldn't help but sigh sincerely - you are this, the Xingzhao Immortal Ancestor who forcibly left bloodline to the snake clan.

He gave her a thumbs up in front of the constantly rising and falling snake tribe leader, and was punched twice by Ji Xueruo who was extremely embarrassed.

However, before You Su could enjoy the happiness brought by reconciliation with Miss Xueruo, she forcefully drove him away. Even if You Su said that he didn't want to continue, it would not work for two reasons.

First, he must not stay in her palace. Many elders would come to see her early every morning. If they found out, she would be doomed. She didn't have the face to tell her tribe that she liked her sister's man. If she wanted to make it public, she had to wait until the snake tribe successfully returned to Xingzhao Mountain and all the snake women recognized him.

The second reason was that she really couldn't bear to see Ji Lingruo alone in her empty room and forced to feel what her lover felt when he was having sex with someone else. This was too cruel for her sister, so she had to let You Su accompany her sister in the second half of the night, and she would not run away again.

You Su was deeply moved by what he heard, and wanted to consolidate his relationship with Miss Xueruo, but the girl glared at him and pushed him away, saying angrily:

"If you don't want to come again, then just keep going!"

There was no way You Su would dry up the pond to fish, so he had to leave with great reluctance.

As soon as he climbed out of the window, he rushed back to his junior sister's courtyard at lightning speed.

Of course, it doesn't mean that his reluctance to part with Miss Xueruo is fake. He just thought that since the twin sisters had such a wonderful connection, he should hurry back to comfort his junior sister, and Miss Xueruo would be able to feel it as well.

At this moment, the most unwise thing to do would be to waste time on reluctance to leave.

When he thought of the subtle trembling of the twins that was magnified by the divine sense, You Su felt that he had endless energy. It was as if he wanted to make up for the debt owed to the two sisters. Even if there was only one of them in front of him, he had to let the other sister feel his heavy heart. This special bond made the lingering even more intense, as if the three of them had always been together.

"Brother...what are you thinking about..." The girl tugged at his sleeve in a daze, dragging out the last syllable like a coquettish little snake.

You Su certainly didn't dare to say that he was thinking about his grand ambition of sleeping with her. He gently scratched her hot earlobe with his fingertips and said, "I'm wondering what I am worthy of."

"You're lying..." Ji Lingruo buried her face in the pillow, her voice muffled, "You must be thinking of something bad..."

You Su smiled awkwardly, but suddenly he heard a knock on the courtyard door. It turned out that someone was visiting.

"I'll go, Junior Sister, have a good rest."

You Su lowered his head and kissed Ji Lingruo's slightly swollen lips, and tucked the quilt in for her. The girl felt the meticulous care of her senior brother, and her heart was warm.

In the corner of the courtyard, among the plum blossom branches, Miss Hongxiao was standing on the bluestone road, her silver bell hair ornaments swaying gently with her breathing. When she saw him coming out, she immediately bowed:

"Master You, the clan leader has given orders that the renovation of the ice room will begin today, and the materials are all in the west corner warehouse."

You Su didn't expect Miss Xueruo to be so decisive. The proposal he made yesterday was implemented early the next morning after he slept with her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Hongxiao. The Second Miss is still resting. I will pass on anything you need."

"I'm not here to see the Second Miss. I'm here to see Master You. Master You, just call me Sister Hong Xiao. We, the Dongying demons, don't pay that much attention to etiquette."

Hong Xiao chuckled, and it was obvious that her opinion of the young man had changed a lot. However, her eyes swept across the unfastened jade button on his collar, and she saw half of the young man's broad chest, and her ears couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

Was he being more relaxed because of the heat, or because of his intimacy with the Second Miss?
Considering that it was so hot yesterday and You Su appeared in neat clothes, the answer is self-evident.

But didn't he just wake up? Could he do such a thing? This is the territory of the snake tribe. How dare he be disrespectful to the second lady of the snake tribe here alone? But what if it was what the second lady wanted?

The Second Miss had not allowed us to get close to him before, but this time he was the one who opened the door, which meant that the Second Miss really couldn't get out of bed... Was the Second Miss willing to be tossed around like this? What was it like? Was it really as beautiful as described in the books...

"Sister Hongxiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The young man's clear voice interrupted Hong Xiao's wandering thoughts.

"Ah! I, I am..." Hongxiao's silver bell suddenly rang sharply. She took a half step back in panic and almost stepped on the moss and fell to the ground.

You Su reached out to help her, and fortunately the woman stood up on her own.

"Sister Hongxiao, are you okay?" You Su tilted his head in confusion.

"I, I'm fine... It's just that the sun is too strong. I got up early and was busy running around, and I feel a little dizzy. I'll just rest in the ice room for a while."

You Su nodded when he heard this. Hong Xiao was only at the Lingtai realm, which was also the realm of most snake women. This realm was still in the stage of absorbing the mysterious energy between heaven and earth, so the body's resistance to cold and heat was not much stronger than that of ordinary people.

The snake girl was wearing cool clothes, and he didn't dare to glance around, but he could see the blush spreading from the tip of her ear to her collarbone, as if she was burned by the midday sun.

You Su didn't think much about it, but felt pity: "The renovation of the ice room is indeed urgent, but Sister Hong Xiao should also pay attention to rest."

Hong Xiao secretly pinched the corner of her scarlet clothes and said, "I'm fine. It's Master You who will have to work hard next. The clan leader said that since Master You is familiar with this mortal method, he will supervise the whole process. If there are any personnel and materials that need to be deployed, please contact me directly. I came here to ask Master You to give me guidance."

You Su burst out laughing when he heard this, thinking that Miss Xueruo had rejected him coldly yesterday, but today she was not polite to him at all.

But he had no complaints, on the contrary, he was determined not only to prove to Miss Xueruo that he could help her, but also to let these snake girls have a cool summer.

"I understand. Sister Hongxiao, please wait a moment. I will go and tell Lingruo."

You Su gathered his clothes and turned back to the courtyard. Hong Xiao looked at his back and thought that he really cared about the Second Miss...

……

The scorching sun turned the open space in front of the ice house white, and a sticky sweet fragrance floated amid the cicadas' chirping.

As soon as You Sufu stepped into the courtyard, he saw dozens of snow-white waists undulating among the broken walls.

The snake women took off their outer clothes, wearing only gauze bras and moon-white panties, and the silver bells on their wrists and ankles jingled as they removed bricks. The sun licked the scales on the back of their necks, turning the winding sweat marks into golden lines that meandered down along their exquisite waistlines.

"Mr. You is here!"

Someone called out softly, and a pink wave suddenly bloomed under the eaves.

Xiao Ling hurriedly pulled the thin shirt over her shoulders, but accidentally knocked over the iced sour plum soup in the bamboo basket, and the purple juice flowed down her collarbone into the ravine; someone hurriedly wiped the sweaty temples, and the silver chain on her wrist hooked the earrings, and she gasped in pain and cried out; someone quietly twisted her waist into a more graceful arc, so that the two butterfly-like shoulder blades on her back were faintly visible under the gauze. A strange fragrance floated in the air - the cold fragrance that snake women are born with mixed with the salty and astringent sweat, and the scorching sun evaporated a bit of the sweetness of gardenia.

You Su's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he felt that the scene was so beautiful that it made him dizzy.

"This bunch of idiots who are always causing trouble instead of helping others!" Hong Xiao stamped her feet and cursed, "Didn't the clan leader say it? Young Master You is not blind anymore, everyone should pay attention!"

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, and quickly turned around amid the screams, pretending not to look at anything inappropriate.

There were only women in the snake tribe, so naturally they didn't have to be so particular about getting along with each other. They had long been accustomed to being unrestrained and informal in private. In addition, the weather was extremely hot, and she was doing physical work that was rarely done by women in the snake tribe. It was really unbearable, so she took off her clothes to cool down. For a moment, she forgot that there was such an outlier in this country of women.

"What are you all standing there for?" Hong Xiao stamped her feet again, and the silver bell rang urgently, "Why don't you get back to work?"

Upon hearing this, the girls quickly wrapped themselves in their gauze clothes and started to get busy again.

You Su then turned around and stood in front of the ice room. He looked at the old wall that had begun to be dismantled, and suddenly caught a glimpse of several pieces of volcanic rocks piled in the corner of the wall - these were the hollow brick materials he mentioned yesterday.

Ji Xueruo was not only swift and decisive, but also remembered even the details he mentioned casually.

But it is not easy to hollow them out, especially when the ones doing the rough work are these beautiful snake girls who are as pretty as flowers. Any man who sees them will feel pity for them.

You Su is not only the only man here, but also a great master in the Feather Transformation Realm. He knows that these women are doing these rough jobs that are not in line with their temperament because of his suggestion, and instinctively feels that he is the right person to do this kind of thing.

After all, for him now, hollowing out these bricks and stones is only a bit time-consuming but not tiring at all.

But just as he was about to step forward to grab the job, he was stopped by Hongxiao.

"Master You, are you going to help us?"

You Su frowned slightly, "This matter was caused by me, so I should do this hard work."

Hong Xiao chuckled when she heard this, but shook her head: "After we retreated from Xingzhao Mountain, there have been no males in our tribe. When we returned to our ancestral land, it was in tatters. After thousands of years of summer and winter, we built the broken walls and ruins ourselves. Even every brick and tile at the foot of the volcano was brought back by sisters from other places. Therefore, since ancient times, our snake tribe has never had the tradition that men have to do the hard work and women cannot do it."

You Su followed her line of sight and looked at the snake women who were chiseling bricks. Xiao Ling was standing on tiptoe to dismantle the blue bricks on a high place. Her veil was wet with sweat and stuck to her back, but she was still biting her lip and refusing to show weakness. The older snake woman was half-kneeling on the scalding ground, silently chanting a water purification spell to clean the chiseled bricks and stones. Sweat beads flowed down her chin and hit the cracks between the bricks, steaming up a fine mist.

Seeing You Su was stunned, Hong Xiao raised her lips with pride: "Mr. You is willing to find a way to renovate the ice room for us, which is a timely help. As a distinguished guest, I naturally cannot let you do it. Besides, the clan leader appointed you as a supervisor, not a craftsman. So Mr. You just need to stand in the corridor and give instructions. If you have any instructions, just tell me directly. No need to show any sympathy."

He looked at Hong Xiao's slightly red cheeks from the sun, and for the first time he realized how undesirable it is to judge people by their appearance.

I have only just regained my sight, why am I so dependent on what I see with my eyes?

Yesterday he thought that these snake girls protected in the ancestral land were all spoiled and romantic women, but now he thought that the delicate appearance was just the appearance of the snake clan. From Xueruo to Hongxiao, Xiaoling and others, even the most lazy junior sister, they were actually tough in their bones.

The snake clan has survived to this day, not because they are pitiful like delicate flowers leaning against the wall, but because they are stubborn like a rock and can stand firm in the hurricane.

You Su was deeply impressed, but also curiously asked: "Why don't you send more sisters with higher cultivation? Since the transformation of the ice room is so important, more helpers will make the progress faster."

"The elders think that mortal methods are not worthy of being accepted by the upper class." Hong Xiao suddenly smiled bitterly, "They said that the Ninghan Formation has its own immortal laws to control it, so why should we learn from humans to manipulate bricks, stones and soil? They said that we listened to the nonsense of outsiders and lost the face of the snake clan."

You Su felt nervous when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry.

No matter what, his reputation outside was that of an evil demon, and in the final analysis, he was just an outsider in the eyes of most snake women. So since he woke up, no snake elder had come to see him.

Naturally, he would not get support from others for rashly interfering in the internal affairs of the Snake Clan.

“Then why is it still open?”

"It was the clan leader who rejected all objections and said that only practice can test which of the mortal and immortal methods is better. So she took the pressure from the elders and chose to give us a chance to test the results in three days." Hong Xiao secretly clenched her fists, but she really didn't have much confidence, "Master You, three days... isn't it too rushed?"

You Su was silent for a moment, but did not answer her question. Instead, he asked:

"What if Bingshi fails to reform? What punishment will you give him?"

Hong Xiao was stunned for a moment, but did not answer directly: "The sisters who can come here all believe what Master You said yesterday. Although we can't call for more help, we will work hard without complaint. Even if we fail, we are willing to be punished. Master You doesn't have to..."

"Forget it, you don't need to tell me what punishment you will receive." You Su suddenly interrupted her, "Just tell me directly, if you succeed, what reward will you receive?"

Hong Xiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this. They didn't try to lower their voices when they were talking, so the snake women working around them naturally heard it and looked at the boy in surprise.

"They said they could give us the portion of the budget originally saved for repairing the Frost Formation as a reward..."

"it is good."

You Su answered in a decisive tone, as if he thought that letting them share the money was a foregone conclusion.

He looked around the courtyard, sweeping his eyes over every snake girl who chose to believe him, and suddenly smiled refreshingly:
"Sisters, please stop for a moment. I heard that the snake tribe also has its own market. The weather is hot, why don't you go and have a bowl of sour plum soup to cool down?"

Xiao Ling blamed herself for spilling half a bucket of sour plum soup and shook her head pitifully:

"Mr. You...you, go by yourself. We need to work...otherwise..."

You Su pressed down the chisel in the girl's hand and smiled at all the sweaty snake girls:

"If you believe me, then three days is enough. It's only the time it takes to drink a bowl of water. It's not a big deal."

The snake girls were all stunned. The boy's voice was not loud and his tone was very relaxed, but there was a scorching light in his eyes, a determination that everyone could feel.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Xiao Ling's watery almond eyes reflected his tall figure.

Ever since these snake girls could remember, snake men only existed in the sighs of the elders, but the young man before them brought a breeze from outside the snake clan and blew in front of them.

He casually rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his smoothly curved forearms, and pointed forward:
"Come on, I'm treating you!"

The girls gradually came back to their senses, only to find that they had been following him involuntarily.

The restless cicadas' chirping suddenly became clear, and the scorching sun seemed to become gentle.
