Ran Ran looked at the lotus lanterns on the river bank, at the boys and girls exchanging glances, but she could not find anyone who looked like Yao Laoxian.

The image of that drunkard with his red nose and shaggy beard was so deeply rooted in people's minds that even if he boasted that his biological brother was a handsome man, it was hard to believe and it seemed like he was just bragging.

So when Ranran looked at the crowd, he mainly looked for the elderly.

However, although there were some old men on both sides of the river, they were all servants and grooms, and no one was lighting lanterns on the shore.

According to the Golden Dragon Goddess, she has not left the island for a hundred years. Even if the Medicine Immortal has a habit of lighting lotus lanterns, perhaps he has changed his habit over the long years.

Thinking of this, Ran Ran felt a little disappointed, and didn't know where to start again. Was it possible that Wang Suizhi and the others were destined to transform into water demons?

Qiu Xier was inspired by the atmosphere on both sides of the strait, so she asked her eldest senior brother to buy two lotus lanterns and squatted on the river bank to light them.

Since the adventure in the Red Flame Mountain, the two have grown closer and closer, and can be said to be inseparable. When they were lighting the lotus lantern together, Qiu Xier even kissed the eldest senior brother on the cheek, causing the eldest senior brother to smile foolishly.

Su Yishui looked at Ran Ran who was frowning beside him and asked, "Do you want to light the lamp? I can buy you a few."

Ran Ran shook her head and said with little interest, "No need. These are for praying for marriage. They are useless to me..."

In fact, Su Yishui didn't think there was any point in putting some paper lanterns in the river. It was just an idiotic trick to make the little girl happy.

He asked casually, and got Ranran's casual answer, but after listening to it, Su Yishui felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

She was so close to him, yet she had no expectation of marriage? Did she use him as a cauldron to practice her skills? Did she use him to her advantage and then throw him aside without caring?

It turned out that Mu Qingge's bad habits had not improved at all after his reincarnation!

Thinking of this, he silently went to the stall and bought a hundred lotus lanterns. He also bought a pen and paper, dipped them in ink from a small clay pot, and asked Ranran to write his wishes on each one before releasing them.

Ran Ran was dumbfounded when she saw the pile of lotus lanterns that the vendor had brought over. She asked Su Yishui uncertainly, "Will placing these here attract the Medicine Immortal?"

Su Yishui pointed to the small piece of paper in the wick and said, "Write down what you want to say to your sweetheart."

Ran Ran was dumbfounded again. There were… at least a hundred of them. If they were all written down, they could be rolled into several pages of love letters…

"Where did my lover come from? What should I write about?" She couldn't help but muttered softly.

Is Su Yishui her sweetheart? This guy with incomplete memory probably doesn't even know whether he was attracted to Mu Qingge at first or felt guilty towards her.

Ran Ran knew that she liked Su Yishui, but she also felt that the relationship between him and her was far from reaching the level of mutual understanding between her third senior sister and eldest senior brother.

Her words "Where did the lover come from" made Su Yishui's handsome face fall completely.

"You always kiss me even though you don't like me. Are you playing with me again?" He remembered that she was like this before. She had just teased him in the corridor and then turned around to chat and laugh with his fellow disciples. When she saw Su Yu, she kept calling him "Little Yu". She was very fickle!

Ran Ran felt that the previous kiss was caused by Lingquan. And the kiss after he lost his memory was just a teaching accident. But he took it for granted that he could only love and admire him, which was a bit too arrogant!

Ran Ran was too lazy to argue with him, so she just gave him the half-opened lotus lamp: "Why do you want me to write everything? You can also write for your sweetheart!"

Su Yishui stared at her and said coldly, "There are many people who admire me. Which one do you want me to write to?"

Ran Ran stared at him: "Why not...give this lotus lantern to someone else!"

Su Yishui retorted without thinking: "No!"

In the end, the argument was fruitless, and the two sat on the steps of the riverside pier. One of them held a pen and began to write on the paper, which he then placed on the lotus lantern.

However, just when Ranran finished writing one and put it into the river, Su Yishui unexpectedly waved his hand and picked it up, opened the note and took a look.

"I hope he will have a better temper in the future and stop strangling people when they disagree with him..."

Words like these don't sound like they're written to a lover, but rather like good wishes to a murderer.

Su Yishui threw the lotus lantern into the river and stared at her coldly.

Ran Ran followed suit and picked up the lotus lantern that Su Yishui had just put into the water. On the paper was a line of words written in the style of dragons and flying phoenixes: "Vincentive and reserved, with elegant manners..."

What does this mean? Do you hope that your future spouse will have the qualities of a lady from a noble family?

Su Yishui said, "Since no one gave you lanterns on Chinese Valentine's Day, I will write you some greetings."

Ran Ran was almost laughing out of anger. Does this mean that she is not reserved and elegant enough and behaves frivolously?

Su Yishui said as a matter of course: "When you are not familiar with someone, you also smile at them. Don't you know that you have a pair of peach blossom eyes that are inexplicably attractive? You don't even look at the age of the person. If it is a young boy who is ignorant, wouldn't he have imagined a lot after seeing your careless smile?"

Ran Ran didn't expect that her kindness and flirtation would be considered frivolous. She immediately hit back, "You don't smile at people, but you have flirted with women! Wen Hongshan and Mu Ranwu, they are all vicious! You should write - those who admire me should have a heart of snakes and scorpions, and be able to withstand swords and guns, otherwise they won't be able to survive a few chaos!"

Su Yishui had never thought that once this little girl shed the skin of a filial disciple, she would actually be so sharp-toothed! But everything she said was right, which made it hard to refute.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, each holding a grudge, and then, like quarreling children, they took up their pens as swords and began to "bless" each other one by one. As a result, after looking at each other so much, both of them had a little sour face, and they were not at all infected by the atmosphere of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting in tears on Valentine's Day.

Finally, Su Yishui couldn't stand it anymore. He snatched Xue Ranran's pen and snapped it into two pieces: "Am I so unbearable in your heart?"

Ran Ran was unconvinced and said, "I'm fine. I just wrote that you are hypocritical and have a bad temper..."

Su Yishui handed her a lotus lantern with cold eyes: "Write something good for me to see..."

Ranran looked at his stinky handsome face and felt that in her previous life she had really been describing the ferocious beasts in the scriptures vividly. Thinking of this, she picked up a pen and quickly added a few long tiger whiskers on Su Yishui's face.

Su Yishui didn't expect that she would be so naughty. He glared at her and was about to pull Ranran's little bun.

Ran Ran smiled and fell into Su Yishui's arms. She reached out to touch his ink-stained cheek, and gradually stopped smiling. She murmured, "Humans are not gods. How can they be perfect? ​​Even if you are bad, you are unique in the eyes of those who truly love you..."

Su Yishui stared at her clear eyes intently, and suddenly felt that the words written on the paper were no longer important. At this moment, her eyes were full of him, and he also knew that even twenty years ago, when he turned into a demon with a spiritual spring, there was someone who had never given up on him...

In her eyes, is he the one and only?

Thinking of this, Su Yishui had already lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips which had a slightly sweet scent of date cakes.

When their lips and tongues are intertwined, the thrill of being entangled in two lifetimes can be deeply felt through the heartbeat and the pumping of blood, without the need for eye contact or words.

When the two separated, Ranran looked at Su Yishui's handsome face which was stained with ink, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Su Yishui twisted her little head to look at the lake, so that she could see her cat face clearly. It turned out that when they kissed just now, ink was also printed on Ranran's fair face.

"Oh, Ran Ran couldn't help but screamed and quickly splashed water to wash her face. But Su Yishui said seriously: "How is it, are you in a better mood?"

She couldn't help but look up at him. Only then did she understand why he was making such a fuss with her today. He must have seen that she was blaming herself for what happened to Wang Suizhi and the others, so he made such a fuss with her to divert his mood.

Su Yishui wet his handkerchief and wiped her face while saying, "Everything is determined by fate. You have tried your best. If you can't succeed, it is also God's will. If you can do everything perfectly, you would be even better than a god. Then why bother cultivating immortality and enlightenment?"

Ran Ran didn't say anything, but just gave him another wet kiss on the face, then quickly lowered her head to wash her face.

Just as she was splashing water to wash her face, groups of lanterns came down along the current from upstream, and dots of fluorescent light illuminated the center of the lake, looking brilliant. Ranran glanced and saw that the lotus lanterns they had just put down suddenly dispersed to both sides.

It seemed that some invisible force had pushed them apart. Ran Ran narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and found that among the clusters of lanterns, some seemed to be different from the others, drifting towards the estuary much faster than the other lotus lanterns.

And it seemed that her lantern was hit by those golden lanterns just now, so it floated towards both sides.

Su Yishui, who was washing her face, also noticed these lotus lanterns that seemed to have spiritual energy.

After looking at each other, the two quickly stood up and walked towards the direction where the lotus lanterns were coming from.

Going further, you can see an exposed piece of land in the center of the river. A man in a gray robe with long hair hanging down his back is sitting on this oasis, folding lotus lanterns with his own hands and then throwing them into the river.

When the paper lanterns entered the water, they seemed to be imbued with a fresh breath and immediately spun automatically, rushing towards the estuary.

When Su Yishui and Xue Ranran jumped onto the small island, the man had just released a thousand lotus lanterns and was about to leave.

Ran Ran hurriedly shouted, "Are you Yao Laoxian?"

After hearing this, the man turned his head and looked at Xue Ranran, then narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had discovered that Xue Ranran's fate was strange.

And Xue Ranran also looked at Medicine Immortal's face quietly, thinking: If this person is really Medicine Immortal, then could it be that Wine Immortal was picked up by his two elders to make up the number?

This man is so handsome... Xue Ranran racked her brains and could only think of the word "handsome".

But his beauty was different from Wei Yan's feminine beauty. Instead, his beauty was as clean and pure as the ice lotus on the Western Hills. One glance at him would make people feel peaceful and they would not dare to defile him in the slightest.

Looking at this face, and thinking about Jiu Laoxian's disheveled, bearded appearance, it really takes some imagination to think that these two people are brothers.

But the man nodded, then looked at the two and said, "It seems that one of you two is an old friend of mine."

Xue Ranran had been deceived by the fake immortal from Tianmai Mountain before, so naturally she would not believe it easily. She just smiled and said, "I know your brother, and he misses you very much..."

Yao Laoxian smiled slightly, looked at the vastness of the river, and said softly: "This is not what he would say. If he really missed me, he would have formed a pill and ascended to heaven long ago. I'm afraid there are too many fine wines in the world, so he has been drinking too much and has forgotten about the world... Mu Qingge, you are using these words to probe me, are you afraid that I am lying?"

Ran Ran didn't expect that he could see through his past life at a glance. It seems that the person in front of him really has some connection with Jiu Laoxian. At least he knows very well what kind of person Jiu Laoxian is.

I heard from the Wine Immortal that she was also a close friend of this Medicine Immortal twenty years ago, and judging from his appearance alone, he indeed met her aesthetic standards for a handsome man at that time.

When Ran Ran explained his purpose, Jiu Laoxian suddenly sighed: "You actually knew that I had Azure Dragon Blood on my hands? And you have the aura of dragons on your bodies, you must have been to Dragon Island... Feng Mou refused to give you Azure Dragon Blood and told you to come to find me?"

Feng Mou? Ran Ran shook her head and said, "I don't know anyone named Feng Mou."

Jiu Laoxian said calmly: "This is the name I gave her. She said she had no name and asked me to call her whatever I wanted. Her eyes were shining like the sun, like a golden phoenix, so I named her Fengmou..."

After hearing what he said, Ranran immediately realized who Feng Mou he was talking about.

On the Dragon Island, only the goddess had a light golden look in her eyes. She suddenly remembered the scar on the goddess' face, which seemed to be related to her leaving the Dragon Island. Could it be that she met the Medicine Immortal when she left the Dragon Island hundreds of years ago?

But why did the goddess instruct us not to mention her to outsiders?

As expected, Yao Laoxian asked, "Is she... okay now?"

Ran Ran clasped his fists and said, "We have been asked not to discuss the affairs of the Lord God. Please forgive me. As for the Azure Dragon Blood, Ran Ran told me about the Azure Dragon on Dragon Island being sucked dry of blood."

Yao Laoxian was very surprised. After a while, he looked at the lotus lanterns floating towards the estuary in the distance, smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can roughly guess. I come here every year to light lanterns, and these lotus lanterns will drift all the way, heading towards Dragon Island... I thought she didn't receive it. But you came here to find me, and you should have been guided by her. But if she received it, why didn't she respond to me? Why don't you also break a lantern and light it? Is she still unwilling to forgive me?"

Su Yishui then spoke up and said, "Many years ago, a golden dragon appeared in Bishan, transformed into a young girl and fell in love with a cultivator. However, the love between humans and dragons is against the way of heaven, so in the end the two were forced to separate, and the dragon's cultivation of 500 years was destroyed because he blocked the heavenly calamity for the cultivator..."

Medicine Immortal was slightly moved, and stood silently on the oasis. After a while, he said, "Yes, the one who fell in love with the Dragon Girl was me. In order to collect the blood of the Azure Dragon, I designed a plan to send a few water rats to the island, but she actually left Dragon Island in order to catch me. After that, we got to know each other through fighting, and fell in love. After she blocked the heavenly calamity for me, she said frankly that she was too tired of loving, and she wanted to go back to Dragon Island. In the future... we will never see each other again."

Su Yishui raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Yao Laoxian glanced at him and snapped his fingers in the air. A jade bottle appeared in his hand. He handed the jade bottle to Ran Ran and said, "Give this to Jiu Laoxian. He knows what to do."

After saying this, he turned to look at Su Yishui: "You are Su Yishui, right? You seemed to have something to say just now, why not just say it."

Su Yishui didn't want to say much, but considering that the Medicine Immortal didn't make things difficult for Xue Ranran, he still said, "You know where Dragon Island is. If you really miss her, I believe you can find a way to get there. Why do you have to fold lotus lanterns here every year and bother the river water and the sea tide?"

After he lost his memory, he lost the stability and generosity that he had accumulated over twenty years, and his words became sharp and to the point.

Yao Laoxian smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I didn't go looking for her? But she refused to see me, so what would I do if I went?"

Su Yishui said coldly: "A woman who is willing to sacrifice 500 years of cultivation and destroy her appearance for you said that she doesn't love you anymore, and you believed it? Was she so decisive, or did you just go with the flow? If you fall in love with a dragon, you can't ascend even if you have a high level of cultivation. Maybe it's not that she cut off the love with a wise sword, but that she saw that your persistence in cultivating immortals far surpassed hers. In order to avoid you making a decision, she decided for you first."

Yao Laoxian was so moved by what he said that his heart trembled suddenly. After becoming an immortal, he had not had such big emotional fluctuations for a long time.

He whispered, "Did she tell you that?"

Su Yishui shook his head and said coldly: "I guessed it. If a man cannot protect the woman he loves, it is useless whether he becomes an immortal or not. If he likes someone, he should be with her no matter whether she is a human or a ghost, whether in heaven or hell!"

Just before Su Yishui finished speaking, a cold female voice interrupted him, saying, "It's better not to talk about such mundane views. You are so shallow in Taoism, how can you know how difficult it is to become an immortal? Yao Laoxian, we have finished our business here, and it's time for us to return to the immortal cave..."

Ran Ran looked over in the direction of the sound, and saw a woman with a purple haze on her head coming to the side of Yao Laoxian. She naturally put her arm around his arm, and it seemed that she was Yao Laoxian's immortal partner.

The time it takes to become an immortal is long, and immortals with similar interests often become immortal couples. They use the same immortal cave and practice together. Although they are not as inseparable as human couples, they are still partners in playing chess and refining elixirs.

Ran Ran felt that Su Yishui spoke too directly, and was afraid that he would offend Yao Laoxian if he said more, so he pulled Su Yishui's sleeve, said sorry for disturbing Yao Laoxian and the woman, and took him away.

Yao Laoxian's hearing was extraordinary. Even though they had walked a long way, he could still clearly hear Ran Ran's whispered admonition: "What's the point of saying so much? His relationship with the goddess is over, and now he has a new fairy partner. Are you going to instigate him to mess around?"

Su Yishui snorted coldly and said, "I just hope he won't pretend anymore. Since he has broken up and already has a fairy companion, what's the point of releasing those lotus lanterns into Dragon Island every year? I just hope he can give the people on the island peace next year..."

Hearing this, Yao Laoxian felt his heart ache again. The Jade Lotus Immortal who lived with him in the immortal cave protected his heart with his luck and said, "Have you forgotten that you were cursed during the calamity? You should not be emotional. Come back with me and practice in seclusion. Don't take the words of a reckless boy to heart."

However, Yao Laoxian looked at Su Yishui's receding back and said thoughtfully, "When I heard that Mu Qingge's soul was led up a tree after his death, I thought it was strange. Even for an immortal, it would be impossible to do such a heaven-defying act. How did Su Yishui do it? He was able to reverse the fate of life and death with only half a Jindan? Don't you think that his fate is a little strange besides being changed?"

However, Yu Lian Immortal did not care about the resurrection of a little mortal girl. She was more worried about the fact that Qing Long had been sucked dry of blood.

The blood of the Azure Dragon is extremely spiritual, and only a few drops can accomplish great things. But now the blood of the entire Azure Dragon has been sucked dry. What on earth does the person who offended the gods want to do? This is what the immortal must grasp most urgently.

"Let's go." Yu Lian Immortal urged again.

She originally practiced with Yao Laoxian, but later a golden dragon appeared and made Yao Laoxian leave her. Fortunately, after some twists and turns, everything returned to normal. Now she and Yao Laoxian live in the same cave and have become immortal couple.

She would not allow Yao Laoxian to be tempted by old feelings again. That dragon calamity...had ended long ago!

Besides, the two who got the Azure Dragon's Blood didn't even have time to call Qiu Xier and the others, and they hurried back to Qiongqi Village without stopping.

When they arrived at the cave where those demonized people were temporarily staying, they found that the entire mountain was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

When the two of them jumped to the entrance of the cave, they found that the entire entrance was built up with earth and rocks.

This was a solution that Jiu Laoxian had come up with as a last resort. He used earth and stones mixed with lime to build a cave to temporarily isolate the moisture. This was to prevent those who had been transformed into demons from smelling the scent of the mountain spring water and going crazy.

However, only Jiu Laoxian and Yu Chen were guarding the cave entrance, and there was no sign of Zhou Feihua.

According to Jiu Laoxian and Yu Chen, there were a few people from the Alien House among the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and they wanted to burn the mountain with real fire. Zhou Feihua showed up to stop them and fought with them, so his whereabouts were exposed and reported to the court.

Later, an imperial decree came, instructing Zhou Feihua to go see His Majesty. As long as she was willing to go, the fire would be avoided for the time being.

In order to protect the demonized people on the mountain who could not move temporarily, Zhou Feihua took the initiative to go down the mountain to meet the emperor.

There was no time to lose. Ran Ran did not have time to tell Jiu Laoxian about the various dangers along the way and that he had already met his brother. He just handed the blood of the Azure Dragon to Jiu Laoxian and told him to quickly detoxify these demonized people.

The people surrounding them at the foot of the mountain seemed to be shouting loudly, but in fact it was because of the fear in their hearts. Only by restoring these people to their original state as soon as possible could the doubts of the officers and soldiers be dispelled.
