How to capture the system fairies as wives

"...Don't call me that." She muttered softly, sounding aggrieved and resentful.

Chen Yin held her face in his hands.

When I saw her face, all the previous indifference and cynicism were shattered to pieces.

Only her clear eyes, which were a little wet, were left. She turned her eyes away stubbornly and refused to look into Chen Yin's eyes.

Chen Yin put his hands under her armpits and picked her up gently.

The master now is as petite and adorable as his own daughter, so small that he can be lifted up with both hands.

Just like a little bear doll.

The master also lifted his feet off the ground, with his two slender legs dangling in the air. He stared at Chen Yin angrily and pouted at him.

"What, what are you doing?" Her tone was alert and dissatisfied.

"Nothing, I just want to hug you."

As he spoke, Chen Yin gently held her in his arms.

"Well!"

This was probably the first time that the master was held like a doll by someone, and she immediately started to flutter in his arms.

"You little brat! Are you a lolita lover? How dare you take advantage of a little girl like your teacher?"

"This is so embarrassing! Let go quickly. If Qing Mei Niang or Xiang Er sees this—"

"...I'm sorry." Chen Yin's voice sounded in her ears.

Master's thrashing limbs gradually went limp.

"It must be tiring to wait so long."

"...It's okay." She gradually turned into a low mumble.

"Actually... it hasn't been that long."

Or.

In fact, it’s been so long that I’ve lost consciousness.

I just kept thinking about meeting someone.

As I thought about it, a thousand years passed.

Chen Yin held her petite body in his arms and suddenly felt very peaceful.

The damp rain mist in the air gradually turns into a gentle scent.

"Okay, stop being cheesy."

The master tapped his head lightly and said complainingly, "It feels like a life-and-death separation."

"I didn't even cry, why are you so sad?"

"I'm not sad." Chen Yin raised his head from her hair and said seriously, "I just remembered that I seem to owe someone a promise."

The master blinked.

She certainly knew what commitment was.

Then her pretty face turned a little red and shy, visibly.

To be honest, this was probably the first time that Chen Yin saw his master blushing a thousand years later.

Before, he always thought that an emotion like shyness would never appear on the face of this thousand-year-old monster.

"Don't, don't dream." She forced herself to turn her head away and said coquettishly in a low voice, "I don't have time to think about these things now."

"Besides, judging from your current state, I'm afraid you'll be arrested and taken to the government before you even get married."

Chen Yin's expression also became a little more serious: "Your appearance has been rejuvenated. Is it also because of the technique?"

“…I guess so.” Master sighed sadly.

"I also perfected the Avenue of Time and added it to the Wangyan Xinhualu, resulting in the current complete version of this technique being impossible for humans to practice."

"What I gave you and Xiang'er is the version I used at the beginning. Anyone who practices the current version will die."

"The Avenue of Time is too overbearing. Anyone who wants to disobey it will have to pay a huge price. Even someone like me who has entered the Dao through the Avenue of Time cannot do so."

"I want to live forever, but the price is that my time will be stuck at the age of ten forever."

"So, it became like this." She spread her hands and said with a relaxed and helpless look.

Chen Yin looked at her silently.

"But don't worry."

"When I no longer need immortality, I won't have to pay this price."

The master raised his head proudly: "At that time, I was waiting for someone. Now that everyone is waiting, why do I need immortality?"

"So, can you change back anytime now?"

"Of course I can." She blinked and smiled silently.

"But not now."

Chen Yin wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw her sly smile, he knew she wouldn't tell him.

It has been like this for so many years.

It seemed that in the past thousand years, she had gotten used to hiding everything in her heart and not showing it to anyone.

She could have recognized herself from the beginning.

But for so many years, she had suppressed all her turbulent emotions in her heart, and always pretended to be calm and indifferent.

Just like an ordinary master, he raised me.

Chen Yin could actually vaguely understand her feelings.

...What if?

What if a thousand years later, everything is different?

Maybe if she finds me, I won't like her anymore?

The image of his master's hesitant expression when he chose to study in the main sect in his previous life reappeared in front of his eyes.

He couldn't understand it at all at that time.

I just thought she was a little disappointed in me.

Now that I think about it, there are so many emotions behind that lonely little face that I am not aware of.

Chen Yin seemed to remember something and couldn't help asking:

"If... you want to go back in time and revive a dead person, can you do it?"

The master hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"……Can."

"I told you. The Avenue of Time is really powerful and overbearing. You have to pay for what you want to gain."

"If you want to go back in time and revive a dead person, you can do it."

"It's nothing more than... the price is an equal exchange, and you have to give up your life as well."

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly?" She stared at Chen Yin curiously.

Chen Yin didn't say anything.

He lowered his head silently, and a scene he had never seen before seemed to appear before his eyes.

...On the Wuling Sect Mountain.

In front of two fairies who died of exhaustion.

A petite little girl holding the body of a man.

His eyes were frosted and he knelt for a long time without saying a word.

One life for another.

“…I see.” He slowly closed his eyes.

(I was busy all afternoon and didn’t start writing until 10pm. I may only update once today.)

(This may be the earliest I've slept in months.)

288. Special Rewards

On the cliff behind the mountain city, the master sat in Chen Yin's arms, listening to him slowly telling the story of his previous life.

"……So this is ah."

The master sat on Chen Yin's lap, biting a lollipop and nodded thoughtfully.

"Resurrect you and send you back to five years ago? That seems like something I could do."

"But I was really unlucky in that life. Haha." She suddenly laughed.

It was like he was mocking himself, but his voice was surprisingly calm.

Chen Yin couldn't help but hug her tightly.

...My master in the previous life waited patiently for a thousand years.

A thousand years and ten years, ten years and five years.

I waited until the end, but all I saw was a cold corpse.

Chen Yin didn’t know what kind of mood his master in the previous life was in when he resurrected him.

Think about it.

It should be sad.

"Okay. I told you not to look so sad all the time."

The master tilted his little head back, reached out and tugged at Chen Yin's cheek, forcing a smile out of him.

"Now is not the time for you to be sad."

"Let's talk about business." Her eyes became calmer. "Do you know why Qing Mei Niang called us here?"

Chen Yin was silent for a moment and whispered:

"The seal that the Green Fox Clan has guarded for generations... could it be the same thing as the passage on the top of Mount Buqi?"

"...That's right."

The master nodded slowly: "Qing Mei Niang is also guarding the realm passage."

"The Green Fox clan is gifted with a unique bloodline and possesses the ability to control the void. They can almost be said to be the only race in the lower realm that can lock the passage to a realm."

"So throughout the generations, the Green Fox Clan has served as the guardian of the realm passage, silently locking that exit to prevent people from the upper realm from doing whatever they want."

"However, the stronger the bloodline, the more difficult it is to reproduce. Up to now, the only member of the Green Fox royal family that still retains its complete bloodline is Qing Mei Niang."

“That is to say,” the master spit out the lollipop with a lazily sound, “…there are only her and Luoluo left.”

Chen Yin suddenly understood why Luo Luo was locked up.

"If she can grow to be as powerful as Qing Mei Niang, she might be able to block the passage to Buqi Mountain as well."

“This way, we’ll have more confidence in weathering the thirty-day heavenly tribulation this time.” Master sighed.

Chen Yin could also hear it from his master's tone.

Even though people have been preparing for this day for thousands of years.

But she still didn't have enough confidence.

The thirty-day heavenly tribulation is much more terrifying than one might imagine.

But soon, Chen Yin thought of something and his face became serious: "Wait."

"Do the people in the upper realm also know that it is the Green Fox Clan that is guarding the seal?"

The master also looked at him quietly.

"Most likely, he knows."
