How to capture the system fairies as wives

"…I just don't want you to leave."

"But if I don't go and catch pheasants, they won't come to me on their own for me to eat."

"Just starve. I'm fine."

There was a hint of childish stubbornness in her eyes, which made Chen Yin somewhat helpless.

"But sister, you have been like this all the time, how did you get better from your cold?"

Shen Shuanglian's eyes became more aggrieved, and she whispered, "What if you leave and abandon me again?"

"When have I ever left behind - oh, that's not the same thing, okay?"

Chen Yin held his forehead in despair. He couldn't understand why the usually cold and icy senior sister suddenly became so clingy overnight.

Does the first night really bring such a big change to a girl?

"I was only a few years old at the time. Things like moving were decided by my parents. What could I do?"

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Shen Shuanglian stared at him with wet eyes.

Chen Yin stopped talking. He was silent for a long time before he sighed softly.

"Well, if you're really hungry, just tell me."

Then he sat next to Shen Shuanglian again and held her tightly in his arms.

Shen Shuanglian also pressed her head tightly against his chest, as if Chen Yin's hot chest could make her feel more comfortable.

For a moment, the cave returned to silence, with only the sound of rain dripping outside the cave entrance.

Chen Yin also didn't expect that one day he would actually hold a charming girl in his arms, wrapped in outer clothes but naked inside, which was an alluring sight.

But he didn't have any unhealthy thoughts in his mind. He was just worried that the girl would catch a cold.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Chen Yin suddenly whispered: "...I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" Shen Shuanglian raised her little head and looked at him.

"My situation at the time was... rather complicated. I didn't think too much about it."

Chen Yin turned his head away guiltily: "Besides, we hadn't seen each other for so many years, I thought you had forgotten me."

As soon as he said this, Chen Yin regretted it.

Sure enough, Shen Shuanglian's mouth deflated little by little, her eyes were red, and she looked at Chen Yin with indescribable grievance.

"... liar." She said in a low voice.

Not only was Chen Yin unable to refute, he could only smile awkwardly.

There was a hint of mud in the air, which made Shen Shuanglian feel a little uncomfortable because she always wanted to sneeze.

But she finally managed to hold it back.

She knew that if she kept sneezing, Chen Yin would definitely be worried about her and would insist on going out to catch pheasants to make chicken soup.

Maybe she was just a little stubborn in her heart and didn't want him to disappear from her sight again.

...What if?

What if he disappears without saying goodbye again this time?

Her body suddenly shivered, and she snuggled into Chen Yin's arms like a docile cat.

Chen Yin felt the delicate, smooth and softness, and arched gently in his arms, his expression becoming a little unnatural.

"Ahem... If you're not feeling well, don't force me to hold you. Why don't you just lie down?"

"not good."

"……forget it."

The sky was getting dark and it seemed that it was getting late.

Chen Yin sighed softly: "I can't let you be willful anymore."

"It will be even colder at night. It would be dangerous if I didn't let you eat something to warm yourself up."

Shen Shuanglian pulled him, biting her lip, with a pitiful look in her eyes: "No."

"Don't worry, I will never leave without saying goodbye this time." He comforted softly.

"Then, tell me, why did you lie to me before?"

"…The move happened suddenly and I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"What about the last time?" Shen Shuanglian stared at him, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Why do you want to commit suicide?"

Chen Yin stopped talking.

The sound of my heartbeat and rain mixed together, making it impossible to make out any sound.

After a long while, he turned his head and stared out of the cave in a trance, and said quietly: "Actually, there is no reason."

"Nothing more than a coward."

"…I just can't survive anymore."

40. You said the same thing yesterday

The sound of rain is trickling.

Shen Shuanglian stared at him blankly in the dim light.

"Why? I just want to see you alive and well. Is it not possible to have such a simple request?"

"Do we have to... break our promises again and again?"

Chen Yin was silent for a long time, then he just gently placed his hand on her head and spoke softly.

"Don't ask. Be good."

Shen Shuanglian was a little disappointed.

But when that hand gently touched her head, Shen Shuanglian suddenly felt as if she was back in the flower bed that summer.

The hand was warm and large. She shrank back like a comforted kitten. Her crystal eyes swayed slightly, and after a moment she slowly bit her lower lip.

"I don't want to talk about it... forget it. What's done is done."

She raised her head again, her eyes burning as she said, "From now on, don't leave me behind."

"What if I really abandon you again?" Chen Yin couldn't help but want to tease her.

Shen Shuanglian thought about it, and she remembered Chen Yin's words "Girls' tears shouldn't be so cheap", so she said seriously:

"Then I will cry for you to see."

"But I saw you crying last night."

Shen Shuanglian's face suddenly turned red.

Chen Yin thought for a moment, kissed her on the forehead, and then whispered:

"Don't cry until I come back. If you can do that, I'll give you a reward."

"What reward?"

"You'll find out tonight."

Shen Shuanglian hummed softly, then rested her chin on her knees and looked at him eagerly.

"come back quickly."

"rest assured."

Chen Yin reignited the bonfire and then left the cave in a vague manner.

The bonfire flickered, and Shen Shuanglian shrank into her clothes, with half of her head buried in Chen Yin's coat.

...always treats me as if I were a child.

But in fact, after meeting you again in this world, I have never cried again.

Although I still can't get over your leaving without saying goodbye.

But I am grateful enough to be able to have the reunion now.

-

Pheasants are particularly hard to find on rainy days.

Chen Yin ran a little further, but still found it difficult to find the pheasant.

He simply ran directly to the place where he had met the purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger before, and carefully looked for the pheasant.

After searching for a long time, Chen Yin finally saw a few pheasants strolling leisurely on the opposite side of a mountain stream.

Just as he was about to go over, a low roar suddenly sounded behind him. Chen Yin turned his head and saw the huge purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger lying in the forest not far away, looking at him vigilantly.

At its feet, there was the little tiger whose demon pill was taken away by Chen Yin. The little tiger was growling at him with its teeth bared, but its body could not help shrinking back.

Chen Yin said to them, "I'm not here to cause you any trouble. Don't worry."

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking towards the pheasants.

The purple-bearded thunder-mane tiger growled at him again, but there was no ferocity in the voice. It sounded like a test, but also like a warning.

And every step Chen Yin took was like hitting an invisible wall.

……Um?

For the first time, Chen Yin showed a hint of interest.

He touched it twice tentatively, and the invisible wall seemed to be some kind of barrier that blocked people from entering but did not hurt anyone.

But the pheasants were strolling leisurely behind the barrier.

There was no reason to let go of the prey in front of him. Chen Yin immediately got angry, and the Changming Sword came out of his sleeve, crossing in front of him.

He stood with the sword in his hand and made a light stroke in front of him.

tear.

There was a sound of paper tearing, and the air in front of him seemed to split in two. Chen Yin put away his sword and stepped forward. With one step, the surrounding scenery changed drastically in an instant.

The mountain stream that was originally hazy with rain suddenly turned into a lush bamboo forest. There was no rain, no wind, and it seemed that even the air was still.

...Who would set up such a barrier in the dangerous area of ​​Tiantu?

Chen Yin walked along the bamboo forest for a while. The bamboo forest became thinner and thinner. At the end, there was a lonely temple.

The temple was very old and covered in dust, and there was a smell of damp and rotten moss in the air.

Chen Yin pushed open the door covered with spider webs and waved away the dust. The temple was smaller than expected, with only a not very spacious main hall housing a statue whose color had faded.

Chen Yin didn't recognize the statue, but there was an aura about it that was very familiar to him.

...The same aura as that of his scroll.

Chen Yin hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and an ancient and old scroll appeared in his hand.

The moment the scroll appeared, the originally dim statue seemed to light up slightly for a moment, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

For the first time, a line of words appeared on the scroll.

"The sky is spiritual. All things are born and die, withering and flourishing in turn."

This was the first time that Chen Yin saw words on this scroll. In the past, Chen Yin always thought that this scroll was just a storage space, and the things inside the space were what the scroll really wanted to record.

But now it seems that this scroll is incomplete.

Because that sentence was obviously not finished. There should be similar words on the scroll, but they just didn't appear.

Chen Yin entered the scroll space again and looked at it, but nothing changed. So he stared at the sentence for a long time before slowly putting away the scroll.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back and take a look at the statue.

The statue's shape is simple and rough, and one can only vaguely see a short and thin human figure, who seems to be a monk.

A scene inexplicably emerged in Chen Yin's mind.

In the ancient and desolate land, a monk with handsome eyebrows and eyes put his hands together, lowered his eyes and closed them, and slowly knelt down to worship the heaven and earth.

Then, the heaven and earth slowly closed like a giant closing his eyes.
