Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 335 - 192: A Match Made in Heaven; Wangshu’s Resolve

Lotus Peak, Lotus Pool.

The mist still lingered over the surface of the pool, concealing the perfect body of the female immortal at the mountain’s peak. Only the rainbow-like glow penetrated the mist, casting a dreamy beauty.

At this moment, He Shutong sat cross-legged in the water, the cold autumn wind lifting her raven hair, revealing a face that caused people’s hearts to pause.

She was like a splendid and pure lotus growing in the Lotus Pool, impossible for the world’s impurities to taint.

Suddenly, He Shutong opened her clear eyes, a rainbow light flashed through them, then quickly disappeared.

"The first step is complete?"

A voice as gentle as ripples on water sounded, and a beautiful woman in an emerald qipao appeared on the shore.

Looking at the hazy Lotus Sword Venerable, even as a fellow exceptional female immortal, she couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of inferiority. Just thinking that the true female immortal probably looked like the woman before her.

"Yes, very smoothly."

He Shutong reached out her soft hand, gently pressing the center of her full chest, which was the source of the rainbow glow surrounding her. This new Lotus Heart was reconstructing her body.

"That’s good. Now, you just need to wait quietly. Your first enlightenment at the Jade Ring Pool took a full twenty-five years, but who knows how long it will take this time..."

The life-bound artifact has been successfully absorbed and formally started to connect with her, which meant that the process of merging the artifact was officially on track. Apart from time, there was nothing else to worry about.

"I have a feeling, it won’t take long."

He Shutong gently closed her eyes, sensing her body in a deep meditative state.

"The Thousand-Year-old Crow God Flower might help speed things up."

The Third Elder suddenly had a black flower emitting a bitter fragrance in her hand, faintly glowing like thick ink. This black glow did not evoke thoughts of evil, but rather a feeling of heaviness and depth.

"No need to decline, this flower has already been picked. It would be a waste not to use it, so just keep it by your side."

As she spoke, the strange black flower floated lightly into the mist and finally lodged itself between the jade stones behind He Shutong.

"Thank you..."

He Shutong inhaled the serene and calming bitter fragrance in the air, softly thanking the Third Elder.

The Third Elder smiled charmingly, inwardly noting that her efforts had borne fruit. Although the thanks were brief and without any self-reference or mention of others, it was not disrespectful. Instead, it was a sign of the Lotus Sword Venerable’s closeness to her.

She accepted the gratitude with peace of mind, then said:

"From another perspective, having undergone a second transformation may not yield effects as strong as the first, but it will be beneficial. The damage to your spiritual platform may even turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

The Third Elder was someone who had been through it all, deeply understanding the vast differences between the Feather Transformation Realm and the Void Realm. The existence of the life-bound artifact allowed those stepping into the Void Realm to connect with the world, receiving the Heavenly Dao’s blessing, transforming, and rejuvenating. He Shutong would undergo this process twice, undoubtedly elevating this already renowned female Sword Immortal further across the Five Continents.

"I’ve already found a blessing in disguise."

He Shutong’s lips curled into a slight smile, her mind recalling the clear young man in black like a pine tree.

The Third Elder paused, clearly understanding the meaning behind He Shutong’s words:

"Ah, whether he finds a blessing in disguise or just further misfortune remains unknown..."

He Shutong suddenly furrowed her brows and asked:

"What happened to You Su?"

The Third Elder sighed lightly, as the Lotus Sword Venerable, You Su’s master, was confined here, endlessly seeking enlightenment, unaware of her disciple’s situation. But whether it was the Divine Son or anything else, it should first have the Lotus Sword Venerable’s consent.

She deliberated for a moment, then decided to carefully explain to He Shutong what You Su was about to face.

...

You Su reluctantly had to cook another plate of spicy pork.

As the saying goes: Without bamboo, one becomes vulgar; without meat, one becomes thin. To be neither vulgar nor thin, have green chili pork.

This green chili pork without meat was tasteless to anyone.

After a satisfying meal, Ji Lingruo took on the responsibility of washing the dishes on her own initiative. Not because her conscience suddenly awoke, but because You Su told her:

"Junior sister, the Third Elder isn’t actually that approachable. Her kindness toward you signifies her favor. You just rejected her invitation, so you should act more obedient and sensible in the future. Start by washing the dishes; the Third Elder might come out at any moment, so wash them carefully and slowly. It’s best if she sees you personally washing her bowl and chopsticks."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingruo quickly and efficiently nodded and began clearing the tableware. When it came to putting up appearances, which she excelled at due to her penchant for laziness, she was very adept.

You Su lay on a newly purchased deck chair, leisurely basking in the equally leisurely autumn day. Fairy Wangshu sat upright beside him, the white fox fur she wore slightly glistening in the sunlight.

"Senior brother, I’ve nearly scrubbed the Third Elder’s dish and chopsticks down to nothing. Do I have to keep washing?" Ji Lingruo asked, shaking her hands, swollen from the water.

You Su took a light sip of fragrant tea, lamenting:

"I only said she had to see you washing her dishes, not that you should keep washing until she sees you. You can leave the dirty bowl in the pot and wash it when the Third Elder comes out, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingruo’s eyebrows shot up in anger: "Then why didn’t you remind me earlier when you heard me washing non-stop?"

You Su shook his head with a soft sigh, often feeling helpless about his junior sister’s lack of common sense.
