Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"Got it..."

Wangshu lowered her eyes, letting You Su continue to apply the warm ointment on her slender calves.

As the candle flame gradually burned out, the red hue on the Jade Rabbit Mask seemed to deepen.

These two substances together indeed generate a faint heat, but You Su felt the skin under his hand was a bit warm.

The warmth dormant within the girl’s body was once again awakened unconsciously by You Su.

You Su’s motion halted at the calf that had just remained above the water; he dared not be greedy, so he withdrew his hand.

"Senior sister’s body is warm now; tonight, you can sleep well."

"Mm, thanks, junior brother."

Wangshu obediently returned to the bedside, covered herself with the blanket, hiding her exquisite jade-like feet.

"Then, good night, senior sister. See you tomorrow."

You Su was ready to turn and leave, but Wangshu leaned forward, grabbed his hand, and brought his head of waterfall-like white hair closer.

"Didn’t you already rub it?" You Su thought it amusing.

"That doesn’t count; only the last rub counts."

You Su was helpless, "But I just touched your foot, senior sister."

"Then I’ll let junior sister wash my hair tomorrow."

You Su had no choice but to reach out again and rub the girl’s head.

Only then did they truly say goodbye.

Wangshu blew out the candle, then pulled the blanket up to her neck and wrapped herself tightly.

She cherished the hard-won warmth, and tonight would be her warmest sleep ever.

...

"Made her happy?"

Ji Lingruo opened the window, revealing a naturally enchanting snake-like face.

"Yes, she’s happy now."

You Su felt he had gloriously completed the task, so he made a move to push open Ji Lingruo’s door.

But with a little force, he realized the girl had already locked the door, not leaving it open for him.

"What are you doing? Trying to break into a woman’s room?"

Ji Lingruo seemed to be pretending to be angry, but her mouth couldn’t hide the smile.

"No, after completing a task, shouldn’t I come for a reward..."

"Shameless." Ji Lingruo rolled her charming eyes, "You comforted senior sister, why would you ask me for a reward? Did you do it for me?"

You Su thought it made sense; he had just been playing with senior sister’s jade-like feet and now sought affection from junior sister...

That did seem a bit excessive...

"Junior sister is right."

"So what did senior sister reward you with?" Ji Lingruo curiously asked.

"No reward really..."

"If you don’t say, you’ll never get in again." Ji Lingruo crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head.

"Just... washed senior sister’s feet."

You Su chose to be honest, as junior sister and senior sister had a good relationship now; if he didn’t tell, she could definitely find out from senior sister.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you’re so knowledgeable about stockings... A real beast in human clothing," Ji Lingruo clicked her tongue in disdain, as if recalling being held and nibbled on her jade-like feet, cheeks blushing.

"You’re increasingly unreserved; we’ve been together for three years, and the first two years you only secretly smelled my clothes. Not even half a year with senior sister, and you touched feet."

You Su didn’t expect junior sister to still be upset about that; he defended:

"Junior sister, I said it was really the wind when I was drying clothes, I didn’t mean to smell."

"Didn’t mean to smell? Then who was sniffing around like a little puppy yesterday?"

You Su looked back at the direction of the senior sister’s room, thinking junior sister had gotten used to Lotus Peak and was becoming more open, speaking more boldly.

"Of course the sweat of a goddess smells good... Junior sister was busy yesterday and went out to work today, you should rest well. I’ll take my leave." You Su couldn’t enter the room anyway, chatting longer only teased himself.

"Coward." Ji Lingruo didn’t plan to let You Su in, teasing casually, "Anyway, you won’t have to worry about senior sister hearing anymore."

"Why?" You Su curiously asked.

"Hehe, because I learned a little sound insulation skill from the Third Elder; just now I sang for a while in the room, did you hear it from senior sister’s room?"

You Su was amazed, shaking his head.

"Junior sister can do skills?"

Ji Lingruo previously had blocked Spirit Veins and disrupted Profound Qi, so You Su naturally thought she was a skill fool.

"Don’t underestimate people. We Snake Race are good at skills. It’s just that I couldn’t control Profound Qi in Chuyun City. The Third Elder praised my extraordinary talent. But I’m not really interested, just learned some commonly used ones; I’m out for revenge."

Ji Lingruo proudly thought: The Demon Pill senior brother recast for her worked great, controlling Profound Qi was as easy as moving an arm.

"So you don’t have to keep enduring in silence?"

You Su was excited, while Ji Lingruo turned her head, bashfully saying:

"Don’t be too happy yet, I haven’t mastered it. And who said I learned the sound insulation skill just for this..."

You Su was well-aware of the girl’s temperament; junior sister had a touch of coyness in her nature.

Feeling moved by the girl’s careful preparation, he ran straight to the window, hugged Ji Lingruo’s charming head, and then kissed her soft lips.

Ji Lingruo whimpered, hitting You Su’s chest twice, then acquiesced.

Moments lingered, like lingering threads.

Ji Lingruo, blushing, slightly out of breath, glared at You Su and hurriedly shut the window:

"Go to sleep already!"

You Su smacked his lips, feeling the taste linger, his life feeling as sweet as honey.

The Xuanji Order in his arms slightly vibrated, and You Su didn’t dare delay He Kongyue any longer, promptly running back to his room and connecting the Xuanji Order to his Sea of Consciousness.
