Chapter 4 Immortal Lord 004%
Qu Yaoyao was too sleepy.
After coming out of Wangxu, she felt as if all her energy had been drained away and her soul was exhausted. She couldn't hold on on the way back to Xingyang Sect and fell asleep leaning on Qu Yushu.
When she woke up, she was already lying on the couch in her boudoir. It was bright outside and it was already the next morning.
"Miss, are you awake?" Yunzhi came in with a bouquet of flowers. She pushed open the window next to the couch in the bedroom and put the flowers in a vase.
She hummed a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood. Qu Yaoyao sat up from the couch, hugging the quilt, and stared at Yunzhi blankly for a while, still not used to her new identity as a human.
Her hair was disheveled, and her fair cheeks bore a few sleep marks. It took Qu Yaoyao a moment to recall what happened yesterday. She whispered, "I remember... I fell asleep in the sedan chair yesterday."
"Yes, you slept soundly." Yunzhi continued, "Seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, the young master didn't have the heart to wake you up, so he just carried you back home."
Yunzhi was a few years older than Qu Yaoyao, and could be said to have watched her grow up. Over the years, she had seen her daughter bully the young master, but this was the first time she had seen the two siblings so close.
Yunzhi carefully observed Qu Yaoyao's expression. In the past, Qu Yaoyao hated the young master's touch, but now that she had lost her memory, when she learned that she was brought back by her brother, she just blinked and said enviously, "My brother is so good to me."
Qu Yushu is so nice to Qu Yaoyao.
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and instantly felt like her little daughter had grown up, "The girl finally realized the goodness of the young master."
She suddenly stopped being anxious about helping Qu Yaoyao recover her memory, because such a well-behaved and sensible girl was so likable.
"Oh, right." While helping Qu Yaoyao wash and dress, Yunzhi took out a beautiful and precious box. "Not long after we returned to the sect yesterday, a disciple from Wangxu came to deliver something, saying that they were following the orders of Qingxi Immortal Venerable."
"Immortal Qingxi?" Qu Yao opened her eyes wider and took the box.
Her heart skipped a beat as she thought she had found the Immortal Venerable she had been thinking about. She rubbed the box in her palm lovingly, then opened it and found several porcelain bottles inside.
"Ah, they're all magical herbs!" Yunzhi was surprised. Picking up the porcelain bottle and examining it carefully, she discovered that most of these herbs were skin care products that could dissolve blood stasis and remove scars, and they were extremely valuable.
Immortal Qingxi had never given her daughter anything, but he was very generous when he gave her something.
Yunzhi opened one of the bottles, pulled up Qu Yaoyao's collar, and applied the liquid to her wound. The immortal elixir was indeed effective, quickly relieving the burning sensation in her neck. Qu Yaoyao moved her neck and murmured, "It doesn't hurt as much anymore."
Yunzhi was very pleased. "Although Qingxi Immortal Venerable may seem cold and heartless, he and the young lady are engaged after all. Ultimately, the Immortal Venerable still loves the young lady."
"Engagement?" If Yunzhi hadn't reminded her, Qu Yaoyao would have almost forgotten that this body was still engaged with the Immortal Qingxi.
Knowing that the immortal she loved wasn't the fallen immortal who killed her, Qu Yaoyao felt sweet inside. She grabbed Yunzhi's hand and shook it, pleading softly, "I don't remember a lot of things. Can you tell me more about the immortal?"
Qu Yaoyao has been a little snow lotus for a thousand years. Although she loves Qingxi, she knows too little about him. When you like someone, you want to know every detail about him.
Yunzhi smiled and nodded, "I'll serve breakfast to you first, and you can listen while you eat."
“…”
In the entire world of cultivation, tens of thousands of immortal sects occupy half of the world.
The founder of the Wanmen Immortal Sect is named Wanfa Shengzun. He has two direct disciples, namely Qingxi Immortal Zun and Zicang Immortal Zun in the Immortal Ruins.
From Yunzhi, we learned that the marriage between Immortal Qingxi and Qu Yaoyao was decided by the Holy Lord Wanfa himself through divination. At that time, Qingxi had just been promoted to Immortal, and Qu Yaoyao was only three months old in Qu Yingsi's belly.
"So, the Holy Master of All Laws has never met Qu Yao..." Xiao Xuelian almost let it slip, but she quickly tried to make amends. "I wasn't even born at that time. How could the Holy Master of All Laws have arranged such an engagement for the Immortal Master Qingxi?"
Yunzhi shook her head, "How can we understand the Holy Lord's intention?"
It was said that after the Saint of All Laws arranged the marriage for Xie Qingxun, he retired from the world and went into seclusion. This marriage was only verbally agreed upon by the Saint, without any marriage certificate or formal engagement. With the Saint's retreat from the world, everyone thought it was just a joke between the Saint and his disciples, and even Xie Qingxun himself didn't care.
It was not until Qu Yaoyao was born that she met Xie Qingxun for the first time at the Immortal Gate Conference. The noble and beautiful Immortal Venerable was worshipped by thousands of people on the high platform. She fell in love with him at first sight and spread the news of her engagement with Qingxi everywhere with the order of the Holy Venerable. Only then did everyone take her seriously.
Over the years, Qu Yaoyao had actually only met Qingxi Immortal Venerable very few times. Even when they did meet occasionally, most of the time Qu Yaoyao was the one who was enthusiastic, while Qingxi Immortal Venerable was cold and indifferent and did not respond.
Fortunately, all these are in the past. After years of pursuit, her girl finally saw hope.
Yunzhi deliberately embellished the story. Seeing that Qu Yaoyao was listening attentively, she told her at the end, "The sect meeting a few days ago has already set the date for your wedding with Qingxi Immortal Venerable. It's in two months."
By then, her daughter will be able to come and go freely in the Immortal Ruins.
.
Qu Yaoyao hadn't yet gotten over the joy of her upcoming marriage to Qingxi Immortal Venerable. When she was bathing in the evening, Yunzhi brought her another piece of news, "I heard that something big happened in the Immortal Ruins."
"What's the big deal?"
Yunzhi was a little worried. To be more precise, something happened in Wangxu where the Immortal Qingxi was.
"Young lady, you don't know that the Immortal Ruins were split into two parts because two Immortal Lords lived there. They are called the False Ruins and the True Ruins. The two ruins are the same but have different gates. They are separated by a barrier. There is only one place without a barrier, and that is the Mirror Moon Tower where the Holy Lord of All Laws once lived."
Mirror Moon Tower belongs to the Immortal Ruins, but neither to the True Ruins nor to the False Ruins. On the central terrace outside the Mirror Moon Tower, there is a thousand-year-old cold pond, in which grows precious snow lotus.
Yunzhi laid out all these words just to say the following sentence: "It is said that a very precious snow lotus was lost in the cold pond. The two immortals are furious and are sending people to search everywhere."
Qu Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she asked with concern, "Does Immortal Qingxi care about that snow lotus?"
Yunzhi nodded hesitantly, "When the Saint was still alive, he gave the snow lotus to Qingxi Immortal Venerable for care. I just went to inquire about it. After the snow lotus was lost, there hasn't been any major movement from Zicang Immortal Venerable. However, Qingxi Immortal Venerable has punished and exiled several people from Wangxu and is currently sending people to search for the snow lotus."
"I don't know if I can find her back." Yunzhi was worried. He had wanted to find another excuse to bring the girl into Wangxu to cultivate their relationship, but it seemed that it would not be possible in the next few days.
Qu Yaoyao did not have Yunzhi's worries at all, but was even a little happy.
So, am I that important in his heart?
"I want to go to Wangxu again." Qu Yaoyao said.
She loved the Immortal Master Qingxi too much. She died once and lost him again. When she learned that she was very important to the Immortal Master, she was unwilling to lie and wanted to tell him her identity as Xuelian.
Yunzhi didn't know that the person in front of her was the lost little snow lotus. She tried to persuade him, "Wangxu is in a mess right now. The Immortal Venerable lost the snow lotus and is in a very bad mood. Isn't it a bad time for you to go there?"
She was being euphemistic. What she really meant was that Immortal Venerable Qingxi was not only cold and apathetic, but also ruthless and resolute in his dealings. No one in the Immortal Sect dared to provoke him. Yunzhi was worried that Qu Yaoyao would be frightened if she went in at this time.
Qu Yaoyao didn't understand Yunzhi's good intentions. She insisted, "I have something very important to tell the Immortal Venerable. I must go in."
As for what important matter it was, she couldn't tell Yunzhi.
Fortunately, the original owner, Qu Yaoyao, was used to being arrogant and willful, so Yunzhi, besides feeling helpless, showed no sign of surprise at her insistence. She could only report the matter to Qu Yushu, who, by chance, happened to have to go to the True Ruins for something. After a moment's thought, she agreed to take her sister with her.
Qu Yaoyao felt relieved. After falling asleep, she dreamed of herself before she transformed.
The cold pond has accumulated cold air for ten thousand years and has existed since she became conscious a thousand years ago. In fact, she is the first snow lotus born in the cold pond.
Although it is the first and most beautiful one among the few snow lotuses, its blooming flower is only the size of a fist, pure and delicate. It is easily overlooked among the several large snow lotuses around it.
There was only one person who, while others were praising the huge, blooming snow lotuses, would quietly focus her gaze on 'her'. One disciple was curious: "Immortal Venerable, how could there be such a small snow lotus in this cold pond? Were they newly born?"
The soft and cool petals were touched lightly, and the pleasant voice was lowered a little, "Are you talking about it?"
"It is the first snow lotus to grow in the cold pond, and also the most beautiful one."
Perhaps it was his gentle touch, or perhaps it was the reward of the little snow lotus's painstaking absorption of the essence of the sun and moon for millennia. At that moment, she awakened her spiritual consciousness, quietly unfolding her petals and timidly looking out towards the cold pond, following the sound.
Then she saw her Immortal Lord.
The cold and gentle immortal, dressed in white as clouds, with lowered eyebrows and slightly curved lips, smiled at her. His gentle and affectionate expression was so sweet that it really touched her heart.
A mist rose in her dream, swirling around her and the Immortal Venerable. Qu Yaoyao's lips curled upwards as she slept, her face sweet and peaceful. Suddenly, she uttered a moan, and the dream scene grew dim.
"Ugh..." Qu Yaoyao's whole body trembled. After the dream became completely dark, she felt a hand pinching her neck and shoving her towards somewhere fiercely.
"Please, please don't kill me!" I heard a scream in my ears.
A suffocating feeling came over Qu Yaoyao, who screamed in fear. It seemed to be the original owner, not Xiao Xuelian. She struggled helplessly in her dream, trying to see the murderer who was strangling her neck.
Soon, Yunzhi discovered that Qu Yaoyao's nightmare had woken her up. She wiped the sweat from her cheek and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, girl, but what did you remember?"
Qu Yaoyao gasped and shook her head.
Seeing that she seemed to be frightened by a nightmare, Yunzhi remembered something and quickly took out an exorcism talisman, folded it up and stuffed it into Qu Yaoyao's hand, "Give this back to you, girl. With it, you may be able to sleep well."
Qu Yaoyao thought the talisman looked familiar. "Is it the one written by the Immortal Venerable?"
"That's right." Yunzhi explained, "Your body is weak and you often attract unclean things, so the Immortal Master wrote this talisman for you."
Qu Yaoyao's eyes lit up. While secretly admiring the Immortal Venerable's gentleness and thoughtfulness, she felt inexplicably lonely in her heart.
"My Immortal Lord...you are so good to me." Qu Yaoyao placed the talisman paper close to her.
Yunzhi just smiled silently.
She only said half of her words. This talisman was indeed written and given by the Immortal Venerable Qingxi himself, but it was also obtained by Qu Yaoyao after much persevering and begging on her birthday. It was not easy to come by. Now that Qu Yaoyao had lost her memory, Yunzhi thought, it would be better to let her girl forget these not-so-nice things.
It was already daybreak. Thinking of her appointment with Qu Yushu, Qu Yaoyao got up early, tidied herself up, and changed into a beautiful dress. When Qu Yushu came to find her, Qu Yaoyao was leaning against the window watching Yunzhi arrange flowers.
The little girl was wearing a floral dress with jingling pearls hanging on her body. Although her clothes were flamboyant, she looked soft and adorned with her head tilted to her cheek, like a furry little animal.
It seemed like things were really different. Qu Yushu called out, "Yaoyao."
Qu Yaoyao raised her head in response. She seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. When she saw her brother appear, her eyes lit up and she smiled instantly. She called out sweetly, "Brother!"
Qu Yushu was pierced by her bright eyes. He was gradually getting used to his sister's transformation, so he responded softly.
He naturally took Qu Yaoyao's hand and stared at her little face. "You look a little pale. Did you not get enough rest last night?"
Qu Yaoyao shook her head and said, "It was just a nightmare."
"What nightmare?"
The little girl next to him gestured, causing the jewels on her body to clink. "I dreamed that a hand was strangling my neck. It was very painful and uncomfortable, but I couldn't struggle."
"What kind of hand?"
"Hmm, the nails are very sharp, and the fingers are long and white, very much like human hands..."
Qu Yushu's eyelashes drooped, and he tilted his head with concern, "Did you remember the evil spirit that hurt you?"
Yes, but it seems not.
Qu Yaoyao said dejectedly, "I can't see his face clearly."
The two walked and talked, and the sedan chair soon stopped outside the Immortal Ruins. The two ruins were the same, but with different gates. Qu Yushu was going to see the Immortal Venerable Zi Cang, while Qu Yaoyao wanted to see the Immortal Venerable Qing Xi, so she couldn't enter the True Ruins.
Qu Yushu was going to take her into the True Ruins first, and then ask Zi Cang Immortal Venerable for help after the serious business was done. Qu Yaoyao tugged at his hand and whispered, "No need to go through so much trouble. I can find a way to get in myself."
"What method?"
Qu Yaoyao was mysterious and refused to speak, which made Qu Yushu laugh. "Can't you even tell your brother?"
"Not yet." As it concerns her own safety, Xiao Xuelian is not Qu Yushu's biological sister after all. Regarding her true identity, she is only willing to tell Qingxi Immortal Venerable first.
Arriving outside the Delusion Ruins, Qu Yaoyao whispered to the guards outside the border: "Tell Immortal Venerable Qingxi that I have news about the little snow lotus."
In the empty hall of Wangxu,
Xie Qingxun, holding a jade pen, was meticulously sketching the face of a young girl on paper. Gu Tianci, who was guarding the door, lowered his voice while holding a voice transmission mirror. He snorted coldly, "What does she know about the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old snow lotus? I think she's just trying to use this as an excuse to see the Immortal Venerable."
The pen in his hand stopped, and the pen shaft cracked with fine scratches. Xie Qingxun stared at the girl in the painting with an expressionless face. When Gu Tianci ordered the guards to drive Qu Yaoyao away, he stopped them coldly, "Let her in."
"Master..." Gu Tianci was stunned, "Qu Yaoyao must be lying to you."
They searched the entire Immortal Ruins but couldn't find the snow lotus, so how could Qu Yaoyao have any clues about it?
Xie Qingxun could naturally think of what Gu Tianci could think of. Standing with his hands behind his back, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No one has dared to tease me yet."
This matter concerns the Cold Pond Snow Lotus. If Qu Yaoyao dares to use this as an excuse, he will not let her leave the Ruins alive.
The author has something to say: Xiao Xuelian, who is obsessed with love: Immortal, Immortal, your Fa Fa is back to find you!
