Chapter 269
Hearing Su Ci's invitation, Taoist Baimei was slightly startled.
"Your..." He looked at Su Ci, then glanced at A Yan, and asked hesitantly, "Wedding?"
Su Ci nodded and said frankly: "He is my Taoist partner."
Taoist Baimei shook his hand holding the wine glass slightly, and some of the nectar in the glass spilled out, wetting his cuffs.
Su Ci stretched out his hand and wiped the old man's cuffs, which dried up instantly. The few drops of spilled nectar appeared in his palm and were thrown into the bonfire in front of him with a crackling sound.
Taoist Baimei showed a look of regret on his face, but no one knew what he was regretting.
He looked at Su Ci, then at the young man who was playing with little Su Ci over there, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not say anything inappropriate.
"Then congratulations, young friend." He said with a kind smile.
In this era, the combination of yin and yang is the orthodoxy, but the lifespan of a cultivator is much longer than that of an ordinary person, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to have offspring.
Therefore, when choosing a Taoist partner, practitioners tend to choose someone who shares their ideas and spiritual connection, regardless of gender, yin or yang.
Taoist Baimei is a very orthodox cultivator. He naturally cannot accept this, but he will not dissuade others for this reason.
"I will definitely go to watch the ceremony then."
Taoist Baimei looked at Su Ci with kindness in his eyes.
He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the young man, as if he were a younger person whom he hadn't seen for many years, and in the blink of an eye, he had grown into a person he couldn't recognize.
Su Ci hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you be our witness?"
Taoist Baimei was stunned. They were just casual acquaintances, so for him to be the witness at their wedding...this wouldn't be appropriate, right?
"I no longer have any relatives or elders in my clan, nor do I have any close friends. It's a rare opportunity to be with you here today. I see you seem so friendly, so I came up with this idea..."
Su Ci lowered his eyes slightly, retreating to advance, and said, "If you feel it's abrupt, you can just pretend I didn't say anything."
Taoist Baimei looked at the man in red in front of him who was showing a lost emotion, and for some reason, he felt a little distressed in his heart.
With his level of cultivation, he has learned to follow his heart.
Since he felt sympathy for the young man in front of him, and they seemed to get along well, why not be a witness?
"When exactly?" asked Taoist Baimei.
Su Ci smiled softly, his drooping eyebrows and eyes curved into two crescent moons. He looked at the old man and said, "The date hasn't been set yet. Why don't you calculate it for me?"
Taoist Baimei couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, but when he thought about what he said about his clansmen having no other family members or elders, and probably no one to take care of this matter for them, he couldn't help but feel more touched.
"I happen to know a thing or two, so I'll calculate it for you."
"Then I'll trouble you."
While Su Ci was talking to Taoist Baimei, little Su Ci was also talking to A Yan on the other side.
A Yan sat cross-legged beside the campfire, staring at the grilled fish on the fire intently, while little Su Ci sat beside him, holding his chin with both hands, looking at the grilled fish turning on the fire, and then looking at A Yan.
That intimate and joyful look made A Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Su Su was really cute when she was little...
He raised his eyes to look at the man in red who was sitting not far away and talking with Taoist Baimei. There was a bit more tenderness in his eyes. When he looked at little Su Ci again, that soft feeling seemed to overflow.
Little Su Ci has only been a spirit for a few years and is very sensitive to other people's emotions. Therefore, he can feel A Yan's love for him, and this love and pampering even surpasses that of his master.
He didn't understand why, but it didn't stop him from liking to be close to A Yan.
"Brother Zhou, are you a half-demon?"
Little Su Ci stared at the furry ears on A Yan's head. Her two little hands were obviously restless, and her eyes revealed desire and eagerness to try.
After coming to this world, A Yan and Su Ci concealed their aura and transformed themselves into ordinary cultivators.
In this era when the Spirit of the Earth was born not long ago and the Spirit of Heaven has not even developed consciousness, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most powerful gods. Naturally, no one can see through them.
Even little Su Ci, who is also a spirit of the earth, can't do it.
A Yan smiled and stole a glance at Su Ci and Taoist Baimei. Seeing that they were not paying attention to this side, he carefully leaked out a trace of breath, and then quickly restrained it.
Only Xiao Su Ci, who was closest to him, caught this breath.
Little Su Ci couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and his already sparkling golden eyes became even brighter.
"Brother Ayan... are you a spirit too?" he asked in a low voice.
The soft and sweet voice made A Yan's heart soften. At the same time, thinking about what Su Su had gone through to change from such a carefree and innocent character to what she was now, his heart ached.
He looked down at Xiao Su Ci, and finally couldn't help but put his hand on the top of his head and rubbed it gently.
"Yes," Ayan said, "We are spirits, spirits like you."
He thought, no matter what other worlds there were, at least he wanted to let the little Su Ci in front of him know... he was not alone, even if Taoist Baimei left in the future, he would not be alone.
Little Su Ci blinked and said in surprise: "You know I am..."
A Yan nodded and gave a knowing smile.
Perhaps because he had been taught by Taoist Baimei, little Su Ci also knew that he was a spirit and could not let others know, but... Brother Zhou was not someone else, he was also a spirit!
This was the first time that little Su Ci encountered a spirit other than himself, and the spirit was much more powerful than himself.
"Where is that handsome brother?" Little Su Ci looked in Su Ci's direction curiously.
A Yan said nothing and sprinkled spices on the fish.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiao Suci didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she held her cheeks with both hands and muttered, "It seems that handsome brother doesn't like me very much..."
At least not as much as Brother Ayan likes it.
A Yan fed the fish meat with bones removed to his mouth, and little Su Ci opened his mouth, let out a satisfied roar and ate it in one bite.
"It's not that he doesn't like you." A Yan said, "He's just... a little shy."
Looking at the smile on A Yan's face that seemed to have other meanings, little Su Ci was a little confused, but soon, he was attracted by the big furry ears on A Yan's head.
"Can I touch your ears?"
He leaned over, holding A Yan's arms with his small hands, and said softly, "They look so nice to touch. Can I touch them?"
A Yan smiled helplessly.
Sure enough, no matter how things change, some things remain.
He nodded, and little Su Ci cheered. He stood up, but he was too short to reach the top even on tiptoe, so he simply climbed onto A Yan's back.
A Yan also let him do as he pleased, smiling with a doting look on his face.
Little Su Ci not only enjoyed the delicious food, but also touched the furry ears. Finally, he lay in A Yan's arms contentedly and fell asleep sweetly.
Taoist Baimei, who had already reached an agreement with Su Ci, gently picked up the child and summoned the Cloud Whale again. Then, he said to Su Ci and A Yan, who were bidding farewell, "Please stay, my two young friends. We will see you again someday."
Then, he took little Su Ci on the Cloud Whale and left.
A Yan and Su Ci watched their backs disappearing in the sea from afar, and only looked away after a long time.
"Susu."
A Yan looked at Su Ci and was about to hold his hand, but he saw that he was hugging his arms and looking at him coldly.
"What's wrong?" A Yan was puzzled.
"It seems you like that kid very much."
After Su Ci finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the campfire, leaving A Yan standing there in a daze. Then he figured something out and couldn't help but smile.
"Susu, are you jealous?" A Yan caught up with Su Ci in a few steps, took his hand, and asked with a smile.
Su Ci didn't want to pay attention to him. He took the nectar left by Taoist Baimei, raised his head and drank a sip. Then he said, "If you are so reluctant to leave, you can go find him. There is no need to stay here."
A Yan saw his awkward look and thought he was so adorable, so how could he bear to leave?
He hugged Su Ci from behind, kissed him on the cheek, and coaxed him patiently: "It's because of you that I can't bear to let you go."
Su Ci snorted. He had said long ago that the him in this world was not the real him, but...
What right did he have to say anything about A Yan? After all, after seeing his master again, he still couldn't help but invite him to the wedding and wanted him to be their witness.
but--
"So, Brother Ayan?" Su Ci continued to be ambiguous.
However, A Yan's expression changed. When he heard Su Ci calling him like that, he just laughed foolishly, and his big tail behind him kept wagging, looking very happy.
Su Ci paused, his face looking a little unhappy.
A Yan noticed it instantly and quickly hugged him, "Don't be angry, pretty brother."
As soon as he called her that, Su Ci glared at him again, but he still said with a thick face and a smile: "My ears and tail are all yours. Except you, no one else will touch them from now on, okay?"
After he acted like a puppy, he finally coaxed Su Ci into submission.
At night, Su Ci leaned in A Yan's arms, looking at the bright starry sky above the sea. The sea breeze blew over, and the uninhabited island was quiet and peaceful.
Just when A Yan thought Su Ci had fallen asleep, he heard his clear voice suddenly: "A Yan, thank you."
"Between you and me, there's no need to thank me."
A Yan lowered his head, held Su Ci's face and kissed him.
Since the night is long and I can't sleep, let's do something else interesting...
Muah~
