Su Yishui nodded slowly this time, but just when Ranran was about to ask him what price he had paid and how he had broken off his love, he suddenly reached out and hugged her, his arms strangling her so that she could hardly breathe.
She could even feel his violently beating heartbeat through his wet clothes. He then rested his chin on the top of her head and said in a low voice, "There is someone who has atone for my sin without my consent... Such a self-righteous person, do you think I should let her go?"
Ran Ran didn't have time to think about who that annoying person was. She was being strangled by her master and couldn't breathe. "Master... I can't breathe... What's wrong with you?"
As he said this, Ran Ran noticed that the rune bottle on his master's neck was glowing red again, but before he could exclaim, he was frightened by Su Yishui's behavior again.
The master not only hugged her now, but he couldn't help rubbing his chin against her ear, just like... a coquettish little tiger.
Su Yishui seemed to feel that his emotions were somewhat out of control. He finally controlled his movements and reluctantly let go. He retreated a little and said after slowing down his strength: "After using the beast control technique, there will be some sequelae in more than a month... It will be fine after a while. Don't get close to me these few days."
Ran Ran blinked, and recalled the description of the beast-controlling technique in the book. This technique of placing the soul in the spirit beast would allow the person who casts the technique to keep the spirit beast's habits for a long time... so few people would use this kind of technique themselves.
And the little white tiger Gengjin just loves to jump into her arms and act coquettishly, and have his chin and fur stroked... Master just felt like being a tiger, and wanted her to stroke his chin and stroke his fur?
Seeing that the master seemed to be very sad, Ranran reached out and touched his long hair. Su Yishui seemed not to have expected Ranran to do this. His eyes widened, but his body involuntarily leaned over again.
The sequelae of the beast control technique are still very obvious, and even if he turns into a human form now, he can't give it up for the time being. The always serious master is now so... cute, Ran Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing, but facing such a handsome humanoid cat, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Su Yishui stared at her with her cute and playful smile, and suddenly his eyes turned slightly red, just like when he was possessed by Lingquan in the military station!
Not good! Ran Ran screamed in her heart, but before she could see if the spiritual spring on his neck had leaked out, he reached out and grabbed her neck. When Ran Ran raised her head, the master's slightly moist lips were pressed against hers...
Of course, Ran Ran expressed her understanding of her master afterwards, saying that this was just the aftereffects of being possessed by the white tiger. The little tiger did like to rub his face against her like this on weekdays...
In order to protect her, the master transformed himself into a white tiger, but the aftereffects he suffered from were out of control!
She wanted to calm herself and defuse this sudden conflict, and told herself to just think of it as being kissed by a little tiger.
But being kissed by the little tiger will never make her feel numb and unable to move... This... is completely different!
That day, she let her master kiss her for a long time in a daze, and finally came to her senses, pushed him away, and ran down the mountain... This time, she ran to the villa of Uncle Zeng Yi.
Qiao Lian saw her daughter suddenly come here three days ago, and she didn't seem to want to go back.
It is of course a good thing that my daughter can come to visit her parents, but seeing that she seems absent-minded every day... Could it be that she has offended Master Su and was expelled from the sect?
Qiao Lian and Carpenter Xue are now working in Zeng Yi's villa. Their food and drink are comparable to those of the old masters in the town, and they even have maids and servants to do their bidding.
All of this was thanks to Immortal Su. So Qiao Lian would naturally ask her daughter what happened. If her daughter didn't want to go back, she and her husband would be embarrassed to take advantage of the immortal, so they would naturally go to the immortal to apologize. But if their daughter was wronged on the mountain, they would support her before taking her away.
"Mom...it's nothing, I just came to see you because I missed you."
Qiao Lian didn't believe it and couldn't help reminding her daughter: "It's only three to five days' journey from here to Xishan! How did you get here?"
After Ranran came out of the marrow washing pool, her body felt light and nimble. For an ordinary person, the journey would take three to five days, but she only ran for half a day to reach the destination.
When Qiao Lian heard her daughter say that she had run here, she was really shocked. At the same time, she deeply admired Su Xianchang as a living immortal who could teach his frail daughter such magical powers.
As a mother, she was naturally pleased to see her daughter become so strong. After finding out that she had not suffered any injustice due to her illness, she earnestly advised her daughter not to be lazy. Since she had been resting here for a long time, she should hurry back to continue practicing Taoism and cultivating her character.
After Ranran agreed perfunctorily, he turned around and collapsed on the recliner in the garden.
Running down the mountain is easy, but getting back naturally is a science.
Ranran is now deeply regretting why she ran so far on impulse.
Isn't it just a kiss from the master? It's not like I haven't been kissed by a tiger before. Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is not much difference.
The master must not want to do this either. He is such a cold and aloof person on weekdays. If it wasn't for protecting her, why would he end up in such a situation?
Thinking about it this way, maybe she was not the only one who was embarrassed that day. The master must have felt embarrassed as well, especially since she just ran away like that. How embarrassed must the master have been?
Moreover, Master's eyes turned red. Was it because his body was too weak that he was affected by the evil spirit of the spiritual spring...
The more Ranran thought about it, the more worried she became. She got up and, without even bothering to take the stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables that Qiao Lian had prepared for her, prepared to return to Xishan.
But I didn't expect to run into my second uncle when I opened the door.
Yu Tong saw her and said angrily, "Ran Ran, why did you run away without saying anything? Did you know that we had to look for you for the past few days?"
In fact, Yutong didn't know why Ranran suddenly went down the mountain that day.
The master also chased him out that day. But at night, he came back, and his whole body seemed to sink into an ice cellar. The master, who had recovered some of his vitality, was covered with frost again.
Qiu Xier and her friends were worried about Ran Ran, so they went down the mountain to look for her in the town. However, it was not until last night that the master asked her to come here to look for Ran Ran and bring her the tree root water she had been drinking.
When Ranran took the tree root water, she felt ashamed again. Even at this time, the master was still afraid that she would relapse and asked someone to bring her medicine.
However, she didn't care that her master's body had not recovered yet and ran back on her own. Thinking about it this way, how wrong was her behavior?
Master! I am an unfilial disciple. I just ran away like this, and did not serve you wholeheartedly by your sickbed without taking off my clothes!
Thinking of this, Ran Ran drank the potion in one gulp, wiped her and wanted to go back with her second uncle. But Yu Tong persuaded her and said, "The master said that if you miss your parents, you can stay here for a few mouth more days. I have brought all the tree roots for brewing potions. You can drink it and stay as long as you want..."
Ranran half opened her mouth after hearing this, somewhat unsure whether her master was going to expel her.
In fact, Yutong was also very curious about what happened to these two people after she and her brother left that day that made Ranran run all the way here and hide and refuse to see anyone.
After hearing Second Uncle's question, Ran Ran, who was always straightforward, hesitated. She couldn't tell anyone about her master's illness.
If people misunderstood that the master had flaws in his character, it would be her fault as a disciple. She also thought that since Second Master had been with the master for so many years, maybe the two of them had some kind of love affair.
She couldn't say anything wrong and ruin the relationship between her master and her second uncle...
But her master didn't let her go back, and she became worried because she was afraid that something had happened to her master's health during this time.
Now in Xishan, her cultivation is second only to her master. If her master really gets into an accident, she is the only one who can protect him with luck and energy...
Thinking of this, she could no longer stay and wanted to go back with Second Uncle.
Second Uncle Master didn't understand what Ran Ran was thinking, but seeing how stubborn she was, he had no choice but to take her back with him.
After coming back, Ran Ran did not see the master. She heard that the master had already started to retreat and the meals had been stopped.
But he had just suffered serious internal injuries and needed to recover. Obviously, fasting was not suitable at this time.
Ran Ran bought some top-quality beef brisket in the town, and since her master liked sweet food, she also bought some sweet chestnuts to cook the fat duck. As for the dessert after the meal, she also had some, and the almond pastry with goat cheese was just right with the sweet Erquan Yinhao green tea.
Ranran filled a tray, then lifted it up and jumped lightly to the top of the mountain.
The little tiger was lazily basking in the sun at the entrance of the cave. When he saw Ranran, he immediately shook his head and wagged his tail.
Ran Ran handed the prepared meat bones and cut chicken to him. The shrunken tiger didn't have a big appetite, but he was particular about the combination of ingredients. The bones had to have 300 grams of meat, and the cartilage part of the chicken was his favorite.
After feeding the little tiger, Ranran hesitated at the entrance of the cave for a while before carrying the tray into the cave.
But after entering, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol before I saw Su Yishui.
When he went in, Ranran discovered the small wine altar on the ground.
At this moment, Su Yishui seemed to be too drunk to get up, and fell on the stone platform.
As a self-disciplined person with a strong will, Ran Ran silently looked at the neatly stacked wine jars and the neatly folded half-worn clothes on the side. He really admired his master. Even when he was drunk, he would not allow himself to be dirty and messy...
If I hadn't seen him lying on his back, I would have thought he was not drunk but taking a nap.
Master... could it be that he thought that she hated him and was drinking to drown her sorrows?
Thinking of this, Ranran slowly squatted down and reached out to gently touch Su Yishui's head. It was obvious that the sequelae of the beast technique were still there. When her slender fingers touched his long hair, he couldn't help but lean his head towards her hand like a little tiger.
Ran Ran found that she had no resistance to the general attributes of this kind of cat. Although the master was more arrogant and aloof than the Gengjin White Tiger, but... when he stroked his fur, he was very nice to touch.
At this moment, the drunk Su Yishui seemed to feel someone beside him and suddenly opened his eyes.
When his eyes met Ranran's, he sat up suddenly and stared at her with her wide eyes.
Ran Ran didn't expect the master to wake up so quickly, and she didn't even have time to stop touching the fur. She cleared her throat and pointed to the tray beside her and said, "Master, I made you a meal... Eat some while it's hot..."
Su Yishui looked at the steaming food, then looked at the girl who had returned. In the end, he said nothing. He just put on his coat silently, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
The master and the apprentice had a tacit agreement not to mention the accident under the Rainy Pavilion. After Ran Ran cleared out the small wine pots, he couldn't help but ask, "Master... do you like Second Uncle?"
Su Yishui had just finished eating. After putting down his chopsticks, he took a sip of green tea to clear his mouth, looked up at her, was silent for a while, and said, "I thought you would ask me if I like you..."
Ran Ran smiled shyly: "Why do you even need to ask? Master, you are very caring towards us disciples."
How many masters in this world are there who would risk their own lives to save their disciples?
Su Yishui's eyebrows seemed to dim for a moment, and he said coldly: "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
Ran Ran bit her lip and whispered, "I came back because I was worried about you, Master..."
Su Yishui glanced at her and answered her last question this time: "Your Second Uncle has a lover and even has a child, who is being raised in the town of Xishan. I like her the same way I like Yuchen, Qiu Xier, and Gao Cang."
Ran Ran had been in Xishan for so long, but she had never thought that Second Uncle had actually given birth to a child. She was shocked: "What? How come I didn't know?"
She was so shocked by the gossip that she overlooked that Xue Ranran was the only person not included in her master's "likes".
Facts proved that there were many things that this newbie from Xishan didn't know! Second Master did have a six-year-old son.
Because Second Uncle was in charge of going down the mountain to buy things, he could go back to his home at the foot of the mountain from time to time to reunite with his children and lover. No wonder she would occasionally see Second Uncle buying some puppet toys.
The lover is a teacher in the town at the foot of the mountain, and he is thirty-four years old this year.
It is said that the second uncle met Chang when he was sixteen years old. They were of the same age at that time, so they had an affair. However, the second uncle did not marry him. He just gave birth to a child and let the scholar surnamed Chang carry the child down the mountain after he stopped breastfeeding.
When Ran Ran later curiously asked Second Master why he didn't marry, Yu Tong sighed and said, "Since I have decided to follow the master to cultivate, I will have to abandon the mundane world sooner or later. I will follow my brother to serve the master, and he has his own mundane life to live. If I don't marry him, he can marry the woman he likes in the future, and he won't have to bear the stigma of being a sinner. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
After hearing what Yuchen said, Ranran couldn't help but think of the two dusty memories she encountered in Tianmai Mountain. Although cultivating immortals is desirable, if you have to give up all the beauty of the world, it will not be so desirable.
While applying medicine to the little tiger under the pavilion, Ran Ran asked his master who was drinking tea nearby, "What happened to Dun Tian's wife and children?"
Su Yishui put down the teacup, looked at the lush mountain ridge in the distance, and said calmly: "Duntian had a desperate battle with the Earth Demon. His wife and children were captured by the Earth Demon, who wanted to capture Duntian. In order to subdue the Earth Demon, Duntian had to prove his truth and reach the state of having no desires. So he did not save his wife and children, and after subduing the Earth Demon in one fell swoop, he ascended to heaven."
Ran Ran took a deep breath when she heard this, and suddenly remembered that in Dun Tian's memory, he could never see the faces of his beloved wife and children. When Dun Tian ascended to heaven, was he filled with guilt towards his wife and children, so he dared not even think about what they looked like in his memory?
Thinking of this, Ran Ran felt a little uncomfortable. She whispered to her master, "Master, if one day you were faced with such a choice, would you also sacrifice your beloved like Dun Tian to prove his truth?"
Su Yishui heard her question but did not answer. Instead, he asked her, "What about you? What will you do?"
Ran Ran thought about it seriously. Besides her parents and master, the people she loved most in her life also included her uncles and fellow seniors. If she had to exchange them for that damn immortality, she would rather immediately turn into an old woman with wrinkles all over her face!
But after hearing what she said, the master frowned, grabbed her neck, approached her and said, "Remember, don't sacrifice yourself for anyone! I exchanged my life for you, and in this life, you only live for yourself!"
Ran Ran didn't understand what he meant. She thought that the "life in exchange" he said was referring to the time when he possessed the white tiger to save her.
But what the master said was true. If it weren't for him, she would have died of illness and weakness long ago!
Knowing that he and Second Master were not a couple, Ran Ran felt relieved. However, being pulled so close by her master, she couldn't help but recall the memory of the last time her master kissed her...
Could it be that the master has suffered from the aftereffects of being possessed by a tiger and wants to act like a tiger and act coquettishly to her?
Master is willing to sacrifice his life for me, how can I repay him? Even if I sacrifice my life, it is not too much!
Thinking of this, Ran Ran reached out and scratched his master's chin a few times.
Su Yishui was startled by her sudden hairy hand. Ran Ran stretched out her hand to touch his chin and asked, "How is it? Do you feel comfortable?"
Whether it was words or actions, it was full of the posture of a playboy who flirted with a decent woman. Su Yishui had encountered this kind of woman more than 20 years ago. However, the bright and beautiful woman at that time was full of carefree and casualness. Although she flirted with him, she did not win his heart.
And the girl in front of him, although her behavior was a little... reckless, was full of innocence and simplicity.
No matter which one it is, it will make a man feel like drinking the sweet wine of old age, drowning in it and unwilling to wake up...
Just when Ranran wanted to let go and withdraw, Su Yishui grabbed her slender waist and his thin lips with a faint scent of wine touched her again, but this time it was not as light as the last time. Su Yishui let himself go and deepened the kiss fiercely and fiercely.
Ran Ran was frightened by his master again... How could this be a tiger acting coquettishly? It was clearly catching its prey and swallowing it whole, skin and flesh included!
When Su Yishui finally raised his head somewhat uncomprehendingly, the little disciple in his arms had been kissed into a puddle of water.
Ran Ran wanted to run out of the cave immediately, but Su Yishui had experience this time and held her waist tightly: "Where are you going to run? Didn't you say you would take care of me until I get better?"
Without looking in the mirror, Ran Ran could feel her cheeks getting slightly hot. Could the so-called heavenly calamity, the lightning and fire from the sky and earth, be the feeling just now?
This time, Ran Ran once again pushed her master away, ran all the way back to her room, hid under the covers and refused to come out...
Qiu Xier discovered that after returning from visiting her relatives, her junior sister seemed to have lost her soul and was always a little absent-minded.
Even when she was making her favorite pastry, she could be distracted. Seeing Ran Ran pouring a bottle of dark soy sauce into the flour, Qiu Xier couldn't help it and whispered in her ear: "Junior sister! Are you going to make salty almond cakes?"
Ranran came back to her senses from her trance, and cried out "Ouch!" as she looked at the sauce-colored dough in her hand.
Qiu Xier took the dough from her with sympathy, threw it into the bamboo basket of rotten vegetables, and then said earnestly: "Fortunately, Second Uncle is not here, otherwise he would definitely feel sorry for the flour you wasted... Ranran, you have been in a trance these two days, and you always skip classes when Master is teaching. You either have diarrhea or a headache... Could it be that the pool you entered at Tianmai Mountain was not the marrow washing pool, but the disease pool?"
What Qiu Xier said was not an exaggeration. Ever since the second senior brother got into trouble last time, Su Yishui seemed to have found his way as a good teacher. He paid close attention to their studies and completely changed his previous attitude of letting them learn without paying attention.
However, the little sister who used to study hard seemed to be possessed by the second brother. She was lazy and always pretended to be sick and skipped classes.
But when Master Yan came to the little sister, he started to let the sheep eat grass again. The little sister said she was sick, and Master Yan believed her and never urged her to come to class.
Because Qiu Xier failed to cross the snake bridge in Tianmai Mountain, her master punished her by making her practice the light body technique. Every day, she had to walk back and forth on a hemp rope tied between two trees. If she fell off, she would lose one dinner.
In just a few days, Qiu Xier had lost a lot of weight and had a pointed chin. So this morning, she tried to imitate her junior sister and told her master that her heels hurt and she couldn't stand for long.
As a result, the Master's kindness disappeared completely when it came to her. Su Yishui listened to her crying with an expressionless face, and then ordered her to go up and down the mountain to fetch spring water until her heel stopped hurting.
After Qiu Xier's heel healed without any medicine, she wanted to know the secret of her junior sister's feigning illness.
Ran Ran sighed and asked Third Senior Sister in a completely unrelated manner, "Senior Sister, has Master ever been particularly close to you?"
Qiu Xier thought for a moment and said, "The closest time was when I made a mistake in reciting the Yu Feng Jue, and Master hit my palm with a ruler. Now whenever Master looks at me, I break out in a cold sweat... How come you were punished by Master too?"
Ranran thought about the scene when Su Yishui held her in his arms and kissed her passionately, and a blush spread from her ears.
Qiu Xier didn't understand what was going on. Seeing her junior sister blushing, she thought she really had a fever, so she reached out to feel her temperature out of concern.
At this moment, Gao Cang ran up from the bottom of the mountain and shouted, "Junior sister, there is a package with your name on it on the Xieke Stone at the bottom of the mountain."
Ranran raised her head from the kitchen window and saw that there was indeed an exquisite package in her senior brother's hand.
Seeing that his senior brother was impatiently trying to tear off the oil paper on the package, Ran Ran hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"
Then she quickly jumped out of the window: "I don't know who sent this package, I can't open it rashly, it would be terrible if there are fairy insects inside!"
After hearing Ranran's reminder, Gao Cang was so scared that he threw the package far away on the ground.
He had personally witnessed the scene of the angel insects covering the entire Tianmai Mountain, so he couldn't help but shudder when he saw the red-headed flies.
