Chapter 99 99 "Is it really possible to cast a spell on Ling Yuexianzun?"

Although Su Xiaoyuan had the foresight to plug her ears, her ears were still buzzing from her best friend's yelling.

Ruan Mianmian took a long while to calm down: "Xiao Yuanzi, how did you know that?"

Su Xiaoyuan was even more puzzled than her. She had often heard Kaishan mention this Daoist friend Yu recently, saying how heroic and valiant she was, with the air of a woman beneath the trees. He also said that he almost became sworn sisters with her, but she seemed to have some difficulties and rejected her.

She didn't know what the difficulty was until she met him in person.

Because she is not a woman at all!

Su Xiaoyuan asked: "Why do you think Fellow Daoist Yu is a girl?"

"She is beautiful, wears women's clothes, has pierced ears and wears earrings, and her name is 'Yingchun', Achun Achun, which man is called 'Achun'? She is also very quiet, how can she be a man?" Ruan Mianmian felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and the strong woman was almost on the verge of tears.

Su Xiaoyuan sighed helplessly. As a young painter, she was very sensitive to the proportions and skeletal structure of the human body, but her professional skills were of no use to her when it came to seeing through Fellow Daoist Yu's gender.

Because Yu Daoyou's cross-dressing is not done carefully, he looks like a cross-dresser at first glance. Just like the women dressed as men in some movies and TV series, the audience can tell the real gender at a glance, but the characters in the play are blind and can't tell.

It was not until today that she realized that movies and TV shows were not made up, and that there really was such a person, and she was her best friend.

Su Xiaoyuan had no choice but to analyze her features based on her jawline, shoulder-to-hip ratio, waist and hips, and so on. "Friend Yu Dao has a delicate appearance, and his body frame is more slender than that of an average man, but he is obviously a man."

Ruan Mianmian's initial disbelief slowly turned to anger. She took off the new sword she had bought for the trial from her waist and twisted it until it became a knot, as if it were Fellow Daoist Yu: "Yu Yingchun, how dare you lie to me!"

Su Xiaoyuan: "...Kaishan, don't get excited. Fellow Daoist Yu probably didn't lie to you on purpose."

After all, who would have thought that someone would not be able to see that it was such an obvious case of a man dressed as a woman.

"Why don't we wait until we meet and ask?" Su Xiaoyuan suggested.

"Humph," Ruan Mianmian sneered, "Of course I have to ask clearly!"

Su Xiaoyuan: "Let's talk about it nicely later, be more tactful..."

Before she could finish her words, there was a loud "crack" and the sword in her hand could not bear the weight and was finally broken.

Ruan Mianmian wanted to summon the man immediately to question him, but she was worried that she would alert the enemy and scare him away, so she couldn't confront him face to face. So she only sent the name and direction of the restaurant and said nothing more.

It was still early, so the two best friends went back to the boat first.

Ruan Mianmian was angry and went to the martial arts training ground on the ship to hit the sandbags and wooden dummies to vent her anger, while Su Xiaoyuan went straight back to the cabin to find the puppet man.

She informed the puppet of her passing the trial as soon as the results were announced, but she was still anxious to share the good news with him in person.

The puppet was indeed in the cabin, sitting at the desk, reading a book carefully. When he saw her come back, he put the book down, stood up and walked towards her.

Su Xiaoyuan thought he was poring over some housekeeping tutorial again, so she ignored it and threw herself into his arms: "I passed! I actually passed! It feels like a dream!"

She still found it hard to believe, as that was the much-anticipated Dragon Ridge Peak Trial!

The puppet was not as surprised as she was. He just congratulated her lightly, as if he had already expected her to pass the trial.

Gradually calming down, Su Xiaoyuan told the puppet about meeting her friend and going to the restaurant to celebrate: "Will you go with me?"

The puppet's eyes moved slightly: "Since you are meeting a new friend, I am afraid it would be inconvenient for me to go."

Su Xiaoyuan was a little unhappy: "It's nothing shameful."

Although human-machine love is a bit shameful, they are not going to be affectionate at the dinner table. They just want to have a meal with their own puppets.

The puppet was surprisingly stubborn: "Since Xiao Yuan has passed the test, she will stay in Taiyan permanently. I'm going to the market to buy some things."

"The trial is just the first test," Su Xiaoyuan said hurriedly, "and we still need to be personally screened by Immortal Master Ling Yue."

When she said this, she felt a dark cloud floating over her head, and the light in the room dimmed. Regardless of whether she would be selected or not, the mere thought of Ling Yue Xianzun interviewing her made her scalp tingle.

Fortunately, it would probably take a few days to organize the interview, she thought ostrich-likely, so she could still live a peaceful life for a few more days.

"Ling Yue will definitely let you pass." The puppet still had a mysterious confidence in his new and old masters.

Su Xiaoyuan felt dizzy, weak all over, and cold hands and feet as a conditioned reflex when she mentioned Ling Yuexianzun: "I'm a little tired, Fu Tingyun. I'll take a nap for an hour before lunch. Remember to wake me up."

The puppet was so kind that he prepared hot water for her to soak her feet and also considerately made her bed.

The bedding is freshly dried and has a sun-kissed scent. Although it's summer, a miniature iceberg is placed indoors, providing a slight coolness without being too cold, and can even be used as a bonsai for viewing.

Su Xiaoyuan lay down, and the puppet picked up the half-read book from the desk and continued reading while accompanying her.

Unfortunately, I was too excited and couldn't fall asleep.

The puppet raised his eyes from the book: "Can't sleep?"

Su Xiaoyuan was afraid that he would say something to help her sleep, so she quickly said, "I'll just close my eyes and lie down for a while."

The puppet said, "Do you want me to read to you?"

"Okay." Su Xiaoyuan used to like listening to voice reading when she had insomnia. The tone of the AI ​​tablet was very hypnotic.

"What book are you reading?" She glanced at it casually and found the words "Sword Flower Record" written on the cover.

She felt vaguely that the title of the book was familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen it before, so she asked, "Where did this book come from?"

The puppet said calmly, "I found it when I was sorting Xiaoyuan's bookcase."

Su Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that this was her best kept notebook!

When she came to Taiyan, she brought several boxes of books. In addition to the commonly used reference books and Yunyu religious materials, there were also the storybooks she bought sporadically over the past year.

The heroines of these storybooks are mostly stunningly beautiful female cultivators of Hehuan, while the hero is a tyrant in the fairy world, either a powerful sword cultivator, a demon king, the only dragon in ten thousand years, etc. Su Xiaoyuan read them as supplementary teaching materials, but after reading a few of them, she found that they had little reference value to her.

Because the male and female protagonists usually fall in love with each other at first sight and quickly fall in love.

Su Xiaoyuan had no interest in even looking at modern cars, let alone the half-literate ancient horse-drawn carriages, so she just flipped through most of them and threw them into the box.

However, she has finished reading this series of "Sword Flower Record", because the prototype of the male protagonist is obviously the Immortal Master Ling Yue. The background of killing the Demon Lord at the age of fifteen, sealing the Chaos Desire, and becoming a god at the age of twenty is almost copied. Even the Taoist name is changed very perfunctorily, just changing "Ling Yue" to "Ling Ri".

The heroine is a young disciple of the Hehuan Sect who is peaceful and innocent. By chance, she picked up the seriously injured and amnesiac Lingri Immortal. In order to save his life, she had no choice but to plant an evil poison in him. The amnesiac Immortal gradually fell in love with the heroine. After his injury healed, the two of them lived a loving life like an ordinary couple.

However, a year later, he suddenly regained his memory and thought that his infatuation with the heroine was all due to the bewitching evil poison. His love for the heroine turned into hatred, but he was tortured by desire because of the backlash of the evil poison.

So he took the heroine back to the sect as a cauldron, not giving her any status, allowing the disciples to bully and trample on her, while he gnashed his teeth and hated her day and night.

The whole book is almost about their hatred process. Although the title is serious, the speed of the book is one of the fastest among those storybooks. Ling Ri Xianzun is an inexperienced and cold virgin who has all kinds of tricks and no bottom line. He is just like a succubus who has studied in the Hehuan Sect.

Su Xiaoyuan felt that the author had obviously become immersed in his own art while writing, and the characters were seriously ooc.

The reason why she patiently read the entire ten-volume set was because by chance, the heroine's name was the same as hers, "Xiao Yuan", and she was afraid that she would be unlucky and travel through time in the book again.

If it were in modern times, Immortal Lord Ling Yue would be able to sue the author for copyright infringement. This is in the fairy world. If Immortal Lord Ling Yue discovered this book, the author would probably lose his head.

Just as I was lost in thought, the puppet began to recite in a flat voice: "Chapter 21, the lovely girl Hehuan possesses a treasure, and the cold-hearted immortal wields his sword to destroy the flowers..."

Su Xiaoyuan quickly stopped him: "No need to read Fu Tingyun, I'm already sleepy."

Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she immediately yawned realistically.

The puppet seemed a little disappointed: "Really not using it?"

"Really, really," Su Xiaoyuan said with a blushing face, "You should read less of this kind of books..."

She finally knew where he learned those weird tricks.

"Why?" The puppet looked at her in confusion. "Although some parts of the writing are absurd, there are also some valuable points. I have benefited a lot from it."

Su Xiaoyuan: “…” How could I benefit from this!

The puppet seemed oblivious to the fact that the tips of her ears had turned red like agate. He slowly turned a page and handed it to her: "For example, here."

Su Xiaoyuan took a glance and the tip of her ear turned from red agate to pigeon blood red. This time, the story was about the hero taking the heroine out to fight the devil. Suddenly, a poisonous insect broke out in a restaurant. The hero cleared the entire second floor, blindfolded the heroine and put her on the windowsill, doing what the puppet man loved to do most, and under the window was a bustling street with heavy traffic and people coming and going.

Although the hero actually cast a spell to isolate himself from outside prying eyes, he deliberately did not let the heroine know, just to punish her for inadvertently attracting the attention of a strange man in the restaurant just now.

The puppet looked at the book: "Xiao Yuan hasn't tried it yet."

The tone was like saying to a recipe, "Xiaoyuan hasn't tried this dish yet, you can try making it tonight."

It’s not his fault. After all, puppets don’t have the sense of shame of humans.

Su Xiaoyuan was just about to say no, but he had already untied her hairband, blindfolded her, and quickly removed her clothes, just like Ling Ri Xianzun in the book - this was just like what was written in the book, the heroine was stripped of all her clothes, but the hero was neatly dressed, and not even a hair was out of place the whole time.

Now that things have come to this, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.

But the puppet didn't rush to pick her up. She heard him open the big wardrobe on the wall.

Only vague shadows could be seen through the blindfold. Su Xiaoyuan felt uneasy: "What are you going to take?"

"The windowsill is cold and hard, put a mattress on it." The puppet replied.

Su Xiaoyuan's blood rushed to her head: "You can't really..."

"Of course it's true, Xiaoyuan, don't worry. There is an empty garden outside the window, and I have already imposed a ban." The puppet said as he walked into the closet, put on his true form, took a thin mattress and walked out.

He spread the mattress on the windowsill, then picked up Su Xiaoyuan horizontally.

Su Xiaoyuan seemed to smell a faint scent of frost and snow, her heart pounding. She buried her face in his arms and sniffed: "Fu Tingyun, the smell of you..."

"It's the fumigant that Xiaoyuan bought." Fu Tingyun had no choice but to use magic to imitate the puppet's voice.

Su Xiaoyuan felt guilty. This was the fumigant she and her best friend had bought when they went to a cosmetics shop a few days ago. She thought the scent was pleasant the moment she smelled it, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the scent reminded her of the clean, light fragrance on Jingling's body.

She felt a surge of guilt in her heart, but she couldn't help but indulge in the pleasant smell. For some reason, the fragrance seemed to be fresher and more elegant on the puppet than when she smelled it alone. There was also an indescribable feeling that made her heart beat faster and her back tense.

Fu Tingyun put her on the windowsill with a mattress and kissed her on the lips.

Su Xiaoyuan felt that his breath also carried that pleasant scent, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was really the scent of lavender or her imagination?

At this moment, the puppet kissed her down the neck, and she quickly lost the ability to think.

…

The clouds cleared and the rain stopped. She returned to bed. The puppet removed her blindfold and wiped her body with a hot cloth while casually asking, "Xiao Yuan has passed the trial and will soon be going to Ling Yue to collect essence. Are there any rules?"

Su Xiaoyuan didn't have any rules. She was so weak and limp at the moment, as if she was soaked in wine. She was languid and decadent. "I'm thinking..."

Puppet: "Xiao Yuan might as well cast a spell like in the book."

Being urged by her puppet boyfriend to collect essence from another man, a man she had no feelings for and was terrified of, Su Xiaoyuan felt a bit complicated. She tried to hold it back, but in the end, she couldn't help it and said aggrievedly, "I'm going to collect essence from Lingyue Immortal Venerable. Aren't you jealous, Fu Tingyun?"

The puppet tilted his head slightly, a look of confusion on his face. "I, the puppet, don't know what jealousy is. Harvesting Ling Yue's essence is Xiao Yuan's wish, and it's my duty to help my master fulfill his wish."

After a pause, he said, "My master ordered me to help you nourish the immortal Ling Yue, so I will do my best."

Su Xiaoyuan suddenly felt angry when they said these things right after they had done something intimate. "You just do whatever I tell you to do? Don't you have any sense of your own..."

She stopped mid-sentence, realizing she was being unreasonable: "I'm sorry, Fu Tingyun, I shouldn't have said such inexplicable things."

She knew intellectually that this was how puppets were, but she still felt extremely lost. Ever since she started pretending to be a lover with the puppet, this was the first time she felt so clearly that he was not a real human being.

No matter how realistic her performance is, it's just playing house, a one-man show for her.

Another figure involuntarily appeared before her eyes. This figure was a spirit born from Lingyue Immortal Venerable, but it had its own consciousness, no different from a real person, so vivid...

She suddenly realized that she had unknowingly compared the puppets to the realm spirits, and immediately felt guilty.

"Let's talk about it after the retest," she closed her eyes, "I'm a little tired."

The puppet hummed, then sat quietly beside the bed.

After a long while, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't help but open her eyes and looked, and found that the puppet was still sitting there quietly, staring at her blankly, like a decoration.

Her heart ached and she lifted the quilt: "Hug me."

The puppet obediently undressed, performed a cleansing spell on his entire body, and then crawled into the bed to let her hold him.

The scent on him seemed to have lost its soul and was just the scent of lavender.

Su Xiaoyuan pressed her face against his silent chest and listened for a moment: "Can I really cast a curse on Immortal Venerable Ling Yue? Is it possible to succeed?"

The puppet said: "Ordinary Gu won't work. If Xiao Yuan wants it, I can find it for you."

Su Xiaoyuan felt that this plan was simply risking her life, but in order to get home, any method was worth a try: "Okay, then let's find the poisonous insect first."
