Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"Is the rumor true?" You Su was quite surprised.

"The He Family has never confirmed it, but they haven’t denied it either. The secret technique of ice sealing nourishment is risky and not suitable for widespread imitation."

"I’m sorry..." You Su looked downcast.

"Why apologize?" He Kongyue asked curiously, "You aren’t really treating me like I’m over a hundred and seventy years old, are you?"

"Of course not. But you’ve been sealed in ice for over a hundred years; you must really dislike the cold feeling, yet I kept persuading you to take ice baths. That was really thoughtless."

"Mr. You, you think I’m too delicate. Besides, I was sealed up not long after I was born and then kept sleeping. I can’t even remember what it felt like back then, so it’s not really an issue."

"That’s good, I was worried that you could always feel that cold hardship. In that sense, being sealed in ice turned out to be a good thing; although you were born over a hundred years later, it granted you a stronger talent."

"If possible, I would rather have been born a few decades earlier."

He Kongyue’s tone was serious, which was very rare.

"Why?" You Su asked, puzzled.

This secret technique of ice sealing nourishment seemed to be all benefits and no harm.

"Because if I were born a few decades earlier, I would have found my sister and made her kneel before my mother to apologize, to prevent my mother from being angered to death decades later."

Upon hearing this, You Su was stunned for a long time. Was Master’s mother really angered to death by her daughter leaving home?

That would be really troublesome...

"But my mother is already dead... She died the day I was born. All these years, she hasn’t even come to pay respects. Mr. You, actually, I lied to you last time; I don’t want to know her reasons because even if I knew, I would never forgive her in my lifetime."

He Kongyue turned around, his eyes shining brightly in the dark night, his tone unshakably determined.

You Su stood frozen in place, thinking from He Kongyue’s perspective, such thoughts were understandable, leaving him unsure of how to persuade him.

"Never mind, let’s not talk about this distressing woman. Don’t worry, Mr. You, I will still help you find the person you’re looking for."

He Kongyue smiled slightly, lightening the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

The sound of splashing water echoed as He Kongyue stood up in the water.

Even though there was no light in the cave, this body seemed to glow faintly, like a Luminous Pearl, shining brightly white.

Of course, You Su couldn’t see it.

You Su only felt that Mr. He was very courteous, his movements so light as if he was afraid someone might hear.

And just as He Kongyue’s left foot stepped onto the shore, a fierce cold wind suddenly blew through the narrow stone crevice, making He Kongyue shiver.

"Why is the wind so strong, and it won’t stop?"

He Kongyue couldn’t help but complain and wanted to quickly get up to use a skill to dry himself.

But with half a foot still in the river, she noticed something was wrong. Why had the underground river become so turbulent?

Suddenly, the entire cave began to shake!

No way!

You Su immediately stood up, nerves on edge:

"There’s something strange about this place!"

Large chunks of stone and dirt from the surrounding stone walls began to fall, crashing heavily to the ground.

You Su’s sharp senses detected the ground beneath his feet moving slightly. With his Divine Sense, he found that the slightly narrow crevice at the entrance was closing!

"This is bad! The two mountains are colliding! We’re going to be sealed inside!"

He Kongyue obviously noticed this too. This cave was nearly a hundred meters deep, and if they really got sealed inside, even in the Condensed Water Realm, it would be difficult for him to break out. Because if they were sealed from both ends, the Profound Qi wouldn’t replenish, and relying solely on his Water Condensation Perfection Profound Qi reserves wouldn’t be enough to shake a hundred-meter-thick mountain!

"It’s Venerable Chengying’s tomb! Her tomb is opening!"

He Kongyue exclaimed, "Only someone in the Void Realm could move mountains like this!"

"Forget the opportunity for now! How do we get out of here?"

You Su had long run to the cave entrance, swinging his sword at the stone walls on either side of the crevice. But it was to no avail; the entrance crevice was already too closed for anyone to fit through, not even sideways.

He Kongyue was also urgently thinking of a solution, but could they only wait inside and send a message for rescue?

He was already the closest to the tomb; how could he be content to stay here?

"Take the water route! The underground river is open and wide enough; if we follow the water route, we can definitely swim out!"

He Kongyue shouted at You Su:

"Jump quickly!"

But You Su was troubled: "I can’t swim that far!"

Being blind, You Su naturally lacked a sense of security, so he had always feared deep water, making him a poor swimmer. Even in the Jade Ring Pool when he saved Yudie, he had forced himself; asking him to swim for long periods was really too difficult.

"What?! If you can’t swim, why do you keep insisting on bathing in the river? Trying to act cool?"

He Kongyue was exasperated. Before You Su could explain, He Kongyue grabbed You Su’s hand and placed it on her shoulder, shouting:

"Make sure to hold on tight to my shoulder!"

Following instructions, You Su clasped his hands on He Kongyue’s shoulders, only then realizing that He Kongyue hadn’t even had time to put on clothes.

He had to admit, the skincare products used by wealthy families were really good, making the skin smoother than a woman’s...

Then, together, they jumped into the river.
