Chapter 82 (Meeting an old friend again)



Ranran had never expected that after practicing the water-carrying technique, Su Yishui had actually created such a sophisticated method of identifying acupuncture points.

So much so that when she was sitting face to face with Su Yishui, and after being "instructed" again, she didn't react and just stared at him with wide eyes.

Su Yishui was actually very upset. He didn't even know what he was doing just now. It was just that the moonlight tonight was so alluring that it seemed to make people lose their minds for a moment.

He said that sentence on a sudden inspiration.

Ran Ran originally thought that he had recovered his memory, but it turned out to be nothing. Looking at his handsome face that was still stern despite having gotten an advantage, she couldn't help but annoyed, "I think all the disciples in Xishan don't recognize him. Is your tongue good enough? Do you have to teach them one by one?"

Su Yishui looked at her rosy lips and the sarcastic look on her face, and his heart warmed up again. For some reason, his body didn't listen to his brain at all. He just lowered his head and drooped his thick long eyelashes. He leaned over to give her instructions again, but this time the instructions lasted a little longer. He even held the back of her head with his big hand.

This kiss was so intense that Ranran had to close her eyes again to cope with it.

When their lips parted again, Ran Ran pushed his chest fiercely and said fiercely: "...I don't want to practice anymore!"

Su Yishui lowered his eyes and looked at her, then suddenly asked, "Have you ever kissed someone before?"

The first kiss was so sweet that he was a little addicted to it. But the second time he found that this seemingly innocent girl was actually very responsive to him... Could it be that she had kissed someone else before?

Thinking of this, a strange sour feeling rushed straight to the top of his head, making Su Yishui's teeth ache.

After pushing him away, Xue Ranran stood up and said loudly: "Yes, I kissed a pig before!" After that, she turned around and jumped off the boat, walking on the waves towards the river bank.

How dare he file a complaint first? She didn't even bother to ask him why he kissed the female disciples so frequently!

If it was before, Su Yishui couldn't control himself because of the love between the two lives, it would be easy to explain. But now, he clearly didn't remember the past, but still wanted to kiss her, and he looked so calm, it was very infuriating!

Thinking about his constant romantic encounters, first with Wen Hongshan and then with Mu Qingge, it's impossible that all of them were seduced by his masculinity, right? Perhaps he was just a seasoned lover, a playboy in the world of cultivation.

Ranran suddenly thought, if the person sitting in front of him was Qiu Xier, or another female disciple, would he behave the same way?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she had a higher level of cultivation, she would have restored the prestige of the sect leader, cleaned up the clan members of Xishan, and punished this abusive guy.

At this moment, Su Yishui also stepped onto the shore, stood behind her, and said firmly: "So, I kissed you before?"

She spoke so fiercely that Su Yishui could naturally tell that the pig must be himself.

Although he was scolded, Su Yishui was not angry, but felt relieved. Although he was suspected of being seduced by this girl and couldn't control himself, it was better than her having some past with other men.

Ran Ran turned around and asked him directly: "If it was Qiu Xier or another female disciple, would you have given the same guidance?"

Su Yishui was slightly shocked by the scene she described. He couldn't accept it just thinking about it. He frowned and said, "I'm not someone who needs guidance from every idiot!"

After hearing this, Xue Ranran's depression somehow dissipated a lot at once.

Although he seemed to be scolding her for being an idiot, she felt sweet inside. Looking at Ran Ran smiling with her head down, Su Yishui felt that the little demon girl was proud of her boundless charm and that she had a captivated man under her skirt.

So he had to remind her: "Hey, don't smile so smugly, I just couldn't stand your ignorance..."

Ran Ran's face slightly frowned, he raised his eyes and glared at him quickly, then jumped back onto the boat to meditate.

This kind of hands-on teaching is really effective. When Ranran performed the Heavenly Thunder Crossing again, Gen Shen's Qi flowed without any resistance and he just directed his Qi towards the numbness at the root of his tongue during the kiss.

Once you get started, your learning speed can be described as a thousand miles a day.

However, during the day, they still go to nearby alpine villages for fun.

When she arrived in Gong County that day, Ranran inadvertently glanced at the notice posted at the county gate. When she saw it, she couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh".

Su Yishui's hands were filled with the snack packets she had just bought. After hearing her questioning voice, she also took a look at the notice.

It was a notice for a man looking for his wife. It was probably a message about a wife who had left her husband alone because she was dissatisfied with the family's poverty, and the husband posted the notice, begging his wife to come home.

"What? Do you know the woman in this painting?"

Ran Ran turned around and whispered, "Look, does the woman in this painting look like Zhou Feihua?"

Su Yishui frowned and thought for a while: "Zhou Feihua? I have only heard of her name, but have never seen her."

Ranran frowned. Yes, he didn't remember anything that happened in the capital, so naturally he wouldn't remember the Concubine Jing who had faked her own death and escaped.

But shouldn't Zhou Feihua's husband be Su Yu? Could it be that Su Yu had someone write a notice to find his wife and track down Zhou Feihua's whereabouts?

If this was the case, she couldn't help but worry about Concubine Jing. Was Su Yu treating her like this to kill her?

After that, he went to several villages and towns, and saw the missing person notices in prominent places on the notice boards. However, Su Yishui found that there were more and more missing person notices on the notice boards. Many of them did not have portraits, but simply told the physical characteristics of the person, saying that the person was missing by the river, and anyone who found him or her would be rewarded regardless of whether he or she was dead or alive.

What on earth happened here? Why did so many people disappear inexplicably, and no one can find them alive or dead?

It is just a kind of spiritual practice, and the most important thing is to calm the mind. Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as seclusion and meditation?

Although they had doubts in their hearts, they decided that even though they had played to their heart's content during the day, they could not neglect their studies at night.

So they would stay on the boat every night, choose a quiet spot on the river, sit cross-legged in the dead of night, and exchange thoughts with each other.

But every time she sat across from Su Yishui, it was a test of her willpower for Ranran to calm down.

For example, now when she opened her eyes after practicing Qi, she found that Su Yishui was staring at her intently, and she didn't know how long he had been looking at her.

"Hey, it's hard for me to concentrate when you're like this!"

After the Master’s “personal” instruction that day, Ran Ran no longer called him “Master” out of the ordinary, but just called him “Hey”.

After all, their relationship was too complicated, and she was expelled from Xishan. Calling him master was really flattering him too much.

In this way, it is more time-saving and labor-saving to just say "hello".

Su Yishui thought it was very rude of her to call him that. But if she called him "Mr. Su" again, it would not be as natural as "Hi".

He didn't know why he was always so stingy with her, so he just endured her rude shouting.

Although he knew that she was Mu Qingge's reincarnation, Su Yishui felt that Xue Ranran was much more pleasing to the eye as a little girl than in her previous life.

At least, she hasn't become a bad person yet, and there aren't so many men around her. Su Yishui feels that he can get along well with her.

Most of the time, he even found it pleasing to watch her meditate and eat.

When seeing something beautiful, one will naturally look at it more. It was not until he heard Ranran's protest that he realized that he was staring at her in fascination again.

But he was always calm and composed. Even after being caught, he looked calm and slowly closed his eyes.

Ranran looked at the man with his eyes closed. He had thick eyebrows, a straight nose, and eyelashes that were longer than a girl's... and a beautifully shaped mouth. She was so mesmerized by him that she couldn't take her eyes away for a moment.

This period of time was a rare time for the two of them to be alone together, which reminded her of the comfort she had on the island. If time could stop at this moment, would she have no regrets in her life?

She was staring blankly, lost in thought. The man sitting opposite her suddenly opened his eyes and caught her in the moment of distraction.

"You don't allow me to look at you, but you stare at me like this, why is that?"

Ran Ran didn't expect him to open his eyes suddenly. She felt a little embarrassed and could only force herself to say, "You are good-looking, but you don't allow people to look at you?"

Su Yishui looked at her inscrutable, and suddenly said, "You have half of my Jindan in you, so you are not allowed to use my aura to hook up with other men."

It seems that she has not changed her lustful habit from her previous life and still likes to look at good-looking men. Every time Su Yishui thinks of the young men who were surrounding Mu Qingge in her previous life, he feels annoyed.

At that time, he treated Mu Qingge very coldly, causing Mu Qingge to hit a wall with him.

But later, Mu Qingge met Su Yu again. Because of his uncle, the two looked a bit similar. Mu Qingge seemed to have lost interest in him all of a sudden, and always smiled sweetly at Su Yu, as if she was using Su Yu as a substitute for him.

Su Yishui thought he didn't like Mu Qingge, but every time he thought about it, he got very angry.

So seeing that Ranran has not changed her habit and still likes to stare at good-looking men, Su Yishui thinks he should say something ugly in advance. If she dares to take half of his Jindan and cheat on someone else... he can't agree!

Ran Ran was both angry and amused when she heard this: "According to you, I am not allowed to be friends with anyone for the rest of my life?"

When she said this, her eyes were bright, her head was half tilted back, and she leaned forward slightly. Su Yishui was in a bad mood for a moment and wanted to give her some guidance on the Genshen acupoint.

Ran Ran was alert this time and suddenly covered his mouth with her hand: "What are you doing? You are not allowed to disrespect your master!"

It would have been better if she didn't say that. Su Yishui was so angry that he laughed even more evilly: "Okay, how about you flirt with your disciple? Didn't you like to block me in the corridor in the past?"

Ranran felt as if he had kissed the palm of her hand, and her cheeks turned red.

But she could understand herself in her previous life. It was really fun to tease this kind of bad-tempered and awkward handsome boy and watch his handsome face puff up his anger and glare...

The two were chatting with each other when Su Yishui suddenly stopped moving. Ranran also became alert at this time because she heard the faint sound of splashing water coming from underwater.

If it was a fish, the sound of it hitting the water waves would be too loud.

Su Yishui became alert and immediately pulled Ranran up and jumped out of the water.

Just as they jumped up, dozens of people wearing fish-skin clothes also jumped out of the water, and dozens of sharp hooks attacked the two people on the boat.

Moreover, these people's eyes emitted an eerie blue light in the darkness.

Ran Ran looked carefully and found that these people were not wearing fish skin clothes, but like the demonized woman in Wangxiang River, their bodies were covered with sharp fish scales, and the sharp hooks they extended were actually their claws.

Dozens of demonized enemies attacked them at the same time. The river was turbulent and the boat almost capsized.

I remember that one demonized woman made Ranran and his fellow disciples in a state of panic. Now dozens of them are attacking, making the situation even more difficult.

But Ran Ran was no longer the newbie she was at the Wangxiang River. She had a place to practice the Thunder Crossing that she had just mastered, and she easily repelled the attacking water monster with just a little luck.

However, more and more water monsters climbed up from the bottom of the river, and there were actually twenty or thirty of them, which overturned the entire boat into the water.

Su Yishui also realized that something was wrong. These possessed people were blessed with the Seven Evil Transformation Talismans, and seemed to be even more ferocious than the woman in Wangxiang River.

It would be a great loss if he fought with them on the water, so he grabbed Ranran's arm and prepared to fly to the river bank.

However, when they arrived at the riverside, they felt an invisible spiritual shield separating them. No matter how hard they hit, they couldn't break it.

The person who set up this game was really sinister. Although these water demons were no match for Su Yishui and Ran Ran, if they continued to consume their energy like this, they would lose most of their energy. After all, these people were driven by the Seven Evils Transformation Talisman and were completely tireless.

At this moment, the piercing sound of firecrackers and drums suddenly came from both sides of the river, and at the same time, dazzling fireworks filled the sky.

When those ferocious and abnormal water monsters heard the deafening sound of firecrackers, they made sharp and short sounds, turned around and jumped into the river.

Ran Ran understood that these water demons were afraid of bright light and loud noises. In the blink of an eye, all the water demons in the river disappeared.

As they disappeared, the spiritual shield covering the river also disappeared.

At this moment, a woman on horseback, surrounded by torches on the shore, shouted at the two people standing on the overturned boat: "How come you two are still alive? Where did you come from?"

Ranran thought the woman's voice sounded familiar, and with the dim light from the shore, he immediately recognized the woman on horseback and shouted happily to her, "Jing Fei... No, Miss Zhou, it's me, Xue Ranran!"

It turned out that the woman riding on the horse was none other than Concubine Jing Zhou Feihua, who had escaped from the cold palace by faking her own death.

After she escaped from the palace, she was determined to travel around the world. I haven't heard from her since then. I didn't expect to see a notice looking for her a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, I met her here again.

At this time, Zhou Feihua also recognized Xue Ranran and Su Yishui.

When the two jumped onto the shore, Zhou Feihua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God for your help. I was thinking of sending someone to Xishan to ask for help from you, but I didn't expect you to come here."

Ran Ran recalled the shocking scene just now and asked, "What happened here? Why are there so many demonized monsters?"

Zhou Feihua sighed, turned around and said to the dozen or so old men behind him: "Masters, these two are great cultivators. With them, the villages along the river may be saved."

The villagers also saw how they fought against so many water monsters and escaped unscathed, and a hint of joy finally appeared on their sad faces.

After she finished speaking, she said to Ran Ran and the others, "This place is close to water. The water demons will strike back after they have accumulated strength. You should follow me into the village quickly. I will explain it to you in detail once we are there."

So Su Yishui and Ranran followed Zhou Feihua to the Qiongqi Village in Linjiang.

The whole village now seems to have entered a wartime state. The outer wall of the village is surrounded by a fence woven with thorns. Outside the fence, there is a three-meter-wide ditch with a lot of white lime sprinkled in it.

Farmers are generally very frugal, and unless there are educated children in the family, few of them would light a lamp all night long.

However, every household in the village now hangs lanterns high on their doors, and the lights are bright as if it is Chinese New Year, but the festive joy is missing. The whole village is quiet and there is less laughter.

Occasionally, there was the sound of a baby crying at night, but it seemed to be immediately covered up by a big hand. The whole village was shrouded in an unconcealable fear.

Zhou Feihua was still wearing neat men's clothes, but she didn't tie her hair up. Instead, she tied a thick long braid and threw it behind her head, looking clean and neat.

After she invited Su Yishui and the others to move into the village where she was temporarily residing, she had people bring them wine and food. While eating, she talked about her experiences during that period.

It turned out that not long after she escaped death, her portraits suddenly appeared in various prefectures and counties, and someone had even been secretly searching for her.

Later, she learned that her fake death was discovered by Su Yu. The emperor was unable to sleep at night and wanted to find someone to hypnotize him with sword dance, but he couldn't find anyone to help him. So he remembered that she had danced with swords for him all night long without sleep. So he was bored and suddenly mobilized a large number of people to look for her.

Zhou Feihua had seen through the world and didn't think the emperor was sentimental. She just thought the emperor was just used to it and it wasn't his own initiative to remove the dish, so she was a little reluctant to give up.

So she didn't dare to go to those bustling places anymore, and came here instead.

The people here are simple and honest, the rice is sweet, and the villagers rarely go into the city. Even if they do, no one goes to read the notice looking for his wife.

Zhou Feihua originally planned to stay there for a while before going to Fuso for a visit.

But I never thought that just ten days ago, people in the village kept disappearing while fishing by the river. Because there were heavy rains and waves in those days, it was understandable if there were any accidents.

But then someone spotted the water monster by the river. Zhou Feihua had seen the water monster sent from Wangxiang Pass to the capital before, and she immediately realized that someone here was deliberately robbing the villagers and turning them into water monsters.

Although the local governors reported to the police, the officers sent there also disappeared. In addition, due to the previous movement of monsters, the garrisons in various places were also unable to focus on one thing and lose another.

In a poor and remote place like Qiongqi Village, even if it is ranked, it has to stand at the back. Fortunately, the girl Zhou, whose name is unknown, who is temporarily living in the village, is a very righteous person.

After rescuing his daughter-in-law with a sword on the river bank, he organized local militia to patrol the river bank and even organized villagers to dig ditches and lay lime to prevent the invasion of water monsters.

Just three days ago, the water monsters tried to attack the village at night, but they were all soaked with water and immediately started to scream when they crawled over the limestone.

Zhou Feihua, who had figured out their weaknesses, led his men to beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers, which scared away the water monsters.

Tonight, Zhou Feihua led people to patrol the river bank as usual. As a result, she saw a fishing boat with fishing lights on capsized in the river. Countless blue eyes were flashing. She thought a passing passenger ship was in danger, so she quickly led people to set off firecrackers. Unexpectedly, the people they rescued were Su Yishui and Xue Ranran.

Ran Ran had never expected to meet Zhou Feihua here. She only knew that Zhou Feihua and Master Mu Xian had a close relationship and that they were good sisters.

But now, she knew that she was the reincarnation of Mu Qingge, which meant that Zhou Feihua was her friend in her previous life.

So when she looked over again, Ran Ran couldn't help but hold Zhou Feihua's hand, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, she has no memory of her past life. If they were to become sisters casually, there would be no old friendship to continue.

However, Zhou Feihua obviously didn't know Ranran's true identity, but she finally met someone who knew her past, and she had a lot of things she wanted to tell her.

That night, because they wanted to discuss the matter of tracking down the water demon, Ranran and Zhou Feihua lived in the same room.

Ranran originally planned to sit cross-legged on a chair and meditate all night, but Zhou Feihua insisted on sleeping on the same bed with her and whispering to her.

"You sit so far away that I have to shout to talk to you. Missing one night of practice won't hinder your immortality."

Ran Ran actually loves to be lazy. Hearing this, he immediately took off his coat and went to bed, lying next to Zhou Feihua: "Empress Jing, I saw a notice with your portrait in Lin County, but it said something like "I hope my wife who ran away will come home, and the master will not hold her accountable"... Is Su Yu looking for you?"

Zhou Feihua laughed sarcastically, "What do you mean by empress or not? That notice has just torn off the last fig leaf. No matter how grand the palace is, no matter how noble my previous status was, I was actually just a concubine. He couldn't speak directly because of the royal family's relationship, so he actually gave me the status of a fugitive wife in the notice. When I have time, I will go to the capital to thank you for your grace."

Ran Ran blinked and asked softly, "Why did he come back to look for you?"

Zhou Feihua turned around, looked at the beautiful face of the young girl beside her, and sighed: "You are still young, you don't understand that men are sometimes mean. When you worship him as the sun and the moon, he sees you as weeds and gravel. But when he found that there was no woman who was easy to use by his side, he felt that he could just wave his hand and get her back. I heard from my father that the emperor sent people to his hometown several times, and he hinted that I should go back. He could let bygones be bygones, and would never punish me for deceiving the emperor. Even if I was killed by fraud, he could let me take the title of Jing Fei's cousin, and then re-enter the palace as a concubine..."

Ran Ran nodded after hearing this, and looked at the handsome and heroic Concubine Jing and said, "If I were a man, I would also love you like this, no wonder the dog emperor can't let you go."
