Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

The bright moon hung high, casting a cool, clear light.

It illuminated the winding mountain paths and the rolling hills in the distance.

Through the thin gauze windows, it also shone upon—

These exquisite and translucent jade feet.

You Su felt that in his blurred vision, he couldn’t avoid this breathtaking whiteness.

"Junior Brother, help me apply..."

Wangshu’s voice was soft as she slowly spread her feet.

Her hands rested on her waist, her body slightly leaning back, her head lightly tucked down.

This action placed her sacred feet defenselessly in front of You Su.

In her mind, she didn’t even understand the concept of shyness.

Embracing Junior Brother inside Xiaohua, holding hands with him... Her bashful and timid gestures were just her instinctive reactions.

Although she hadn’t been in contact with other men, both He Shutong and the Third Elder had taught her the principle of differences between men and women. So even if she knew little about men, she also knew there should be an invisible boundary between them.

But in reality, she was never a rule-following obedient child.

These jade feet were plump and radiant, made slightly pink from soaking in warm water, highlighting the contours more clearly.

On this cold night, the sweet warmth from her jade feet rose gently, wafting into You Su’s breath.

This sensation made You Su feel like he was seeing the first steamer of freshly made white jade cake on a winter morning, the heat making him drool.

The more tempting it was, the more guilty You Su felt. No matter how heated he got, he shouldn’t make such a request to his naive senior sister.

He knew that his senior sister wouldn’t refuse him...

"Senior Sister, a girl’s feet shouldn’t be casually touched by others."

"But Junior Brother is not ’others’."

You Su was slightly taken aback, unsure of how to continue answering.

Lost in contemplation, he instead calmed down, thinking how could his clumsy senior sister possibly not manage to touch her own feet under various conditions?

If so, wouldn’t that mean she couldn’t even put on shoes?

But obviously, senior sister was not some wanton barefoot fairy...

Her subsequent self-pitying words were like a blaze, completely stirring You Su’s affectionate heart, leading him to the thought of wanting to apply lotion for her feet...

Could it be... that all of this was intentional by senior sister?

"Of course, senior sister is not an outsider to me either... but if you can do it yourself, why insist on having Junior Brother do it?"

You Su suppressed the shock in his heart, speaking softly, "A good child should always take care of their own matters."

"Does Junior Brother also want me to be a good child?"

Wangshu looked at You Su, who was still earnestly advising, with a rare glimmer in her blue eyes.

Her ten exquisite jade toes seemed to open slightly, like a peacock spreading its feathers, bringing a hint of playful looseness.

You Su was aghast and said, "Senior Sister... don’t you want to be a good child?"

In his memory, his senior sister had always been an obedient figure.

But he couldn’t help recalling when he was about to visit the Jade Ring Pool, senior sister even wanted to forcibly keep him; also when he returned to the mountain, under the power of the Hidden Earth Art, she made such an outrageous move...

Doesn’t this indicate that... actually, senior sister is not as obedient as she seems daily?

"I... don’t want to."

Wangshu looked at You Su’s face, seemingly concerned that Junior Brother would show a scornful face because of it.

However, You Su did not.

He knew senior sister wouldn’t lie to him. If she said she didn’t want to, there must be a reason.

The ’little tricks’ she used just now to make You Su apply lotion for her feet were more like a girl subconsciously performing to get a beloved candy.

She meant no harm and didn’t do it on purpose; she simply wanted to achieve her goal too much.

"Then... why doesn’t senior sister want to be a good child?"

You Su asked gently. This was a good opportunity to truly understand his senior sister.

"The First Elder says that those who follow the rules are good children, and those who are obedient are good children. Everyone hopes I will be a good child. But actually, I don’t want to follow the rules, and I don’t want to be obedient either.

When I first became aware of this world, they told me not to touch fire, but I wanted to touch it. I did, my fingers got burned red, and they seemed unhappy, but it actually didn’t hurt at all to me; later I never saw fire again. They told me I was too young to jump directly from the mountain, but I really wanted to, because that cloud told me it would catch me. So I jumped, and it wasn’t the cloud that caught me but my master. After that, our house was moved from the edge of the cliff to the middle of the mountain..."

Wangshu rarely spoke so many words at once; it was as if she finally found someone to listen to her, pouring out her thoughts that had been stifled since their inception.

You Su felt somewhat engrossed as he listened, realizing that senior sister wasn’t actually taciturn; she just often didn’t know what to say. Once she found a topic she wanted to discuss, she could talk for a long time.

"Later, I realized that the world I was living in wasn’t the world I saw; it was the circles around me that I couldn’t see. I couldn’t cross these circles; even if I wouldn’t get hurt, others would be hurt because of me. When they couldn’t find me, they would irritably look for the master; when they couldn’t control me, they would angrily question the master...

So I gradually became a good child, living inside these circles, and they were very satisfied with me. This way, no one got angry, and no one felt sad. The Profound Sky Sect is actually just another circle. I’ve always lived on the mountain; they say I’m a natural Divine Maiden. I don’t know what that means, just that only by becoming a Divine Maiden can I have the chance to go down the mountain.
