Chapter 3
Su Yaorong's white ears twitched, and she shook Du Hengzhi's arm, saying, "I like Brother Du Hengzhi, not Lord Qinglian!"
Du Hengzhi was struck dumb, frozen in place as if by lightning.
In an instant, he was like a steamed crab in a steamer, arms outstretched, face flushed red.
Du Hengzhi stammered, “Me too…”
However, before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept in and blew Du Hengzhi to the ground beneath the tree.
His belongings fell to the ground with a clatter, and a pair of golden bells gleamed under the tree.
Su Yao frowned, feeling that the thing looked somewhat familiar. Just as she was about to investigate, she felt a chill run down her spine.
The Azure Lotus God was expressionless, his pupils gleaming like the fins of a silver shark gliding across the sea, carrying a chilling coldness.
Su Yao wagged her tail, couldn't help but hug her arms, and got goosebumps all over her body.
It's so cold.
This was not his imagination; frost was indeed condensing beneath the feet of the Azure Lotus God, spreading rapidly like cracks in a silver mirror.
The cold air hit a flowering tree and instantly froze it into a block of ice.
Su Yao's ears twitched, and she turned and ran.
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!
Where are you going?
The clear and melodious voice of the Azure Lotus God Lord rang out.
Su Yao hadn't taken more than a few steps when he felt a sudden dizziness. He was lifted up by the Azure Lotus Divine Lord and carried on his shoulder.
Startled, his fox tail throbbed wildly, slapping Qinglian Shenjun's cheek.
Fluffy white feathers, a faint peach fragrance—the Azure Lotus God felt as if his face were buried in soft clouds, and his heart was being tickled.
He frowned slightly and lightly patted Su Yao's bottom.
"Don't be naughty."
The Azure Lotus God had done it unintentionally, but he found the texture to be like almond tofu, incredibly tender.
His heart pounded slightly, and he instinctively pulled his hands into his sleeves, his tone growing colder.
"Otherwise, I will punish you again."
"Put me down! Put me down!"
Being carried on someone's shoulders like a child in front of everyone was extremely embarrassing, even for Su Yao.
Moreover, the one who hit him was none other than the Azure Lotus Divine Lord.
For some reason, Su Yao felt discomfort in her chest from the first time she saw the Azure Lotus God.
It was a dull ache, like a scab being touched, distant yet never fully healed.
Frustrated and agitated, he struggled to get down, his fluffy white fox tail whipping around incessantly: "You unreasonable deity! Let me down!"
"no."
The Azure Lotus God pinched the fox's tail again, made a hand seal, and arrived at his own courtyard.
Su Yao was not only beaten, but her fluffy fox tail was also pinched several times.
That's the most secret place, a place only a lover can touch.
Su Yao's vision blurred for a moment, and a drop of water suddenly fell.
The Azure Lotus God felt a chill on the back of his hand, and his heartbeat became slightly erratic.
He placed Su Yao on the couch and then realized that she was crying with tears streaming down her face.
Su Yao pursed her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face, making her eyes appear like black agate.
And those soft fox ears drooped on their heads, looking completely listless.
The Azure Lotus God had never raised a spirit pet before, and was immediately at a loss.
He could only say in a cold tone, "Don't cry."
Su Yao ignored him and turned her face away, silently shedding tears.
The Azure Lotus God was so annoyed by his crying that he sternly said, "If you cry again, don't blame me for skinning you and making you into a fox fur coat."
Upon hearing this, Su Yao's eyes widened in anger, she trembled with rage, and burst into tears.
That lousy, rotten god! Not only are you hindering his ability to make money, but you also want to kill him and skin him alive!
Where on earth did this heartless deity come from?
Seeing Su Yao crying even more bitterly, her face gradually turning pale, and her breath becoming labored, Qinglian Divine Lord panicked again.
He knew that spirit beasts, especially foxes, were very delicate.
But I never expected the fox to be such a crybaby.
The strangest thing is that whenever he sees the other person cry, he feels uncomfortable in his chest and his breathing becomes somewhat disordered.
The Azure Lotus God took a deep breath, and with a flick of his magic, a Heavenly River Snow Lotus appeared in his palm.
This thing is sweet and full of spiritual energy, and is the favorite of celestial beasts.
Sure enough, although Su Yao was still crying, her dark eyes kept glancing this way, and her voice had become much softer.
The Azure Lotus God breathed a slight sigh of relief: "If you want to eat, you're not allowed to cry."
Upon hearing this, Su Yao hugged her knees, curled her white fox tail around herself, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Or, you can eat first and then cry."
The Azure Lotus God Lord patiently guided him.
"Think about it, if you cry, you won't have a mouth to eat, and tears dripping on flowers will spoil their flavor."
Su Yao raised her eyes, her fox ears perking up instantly.
He seemed to agree with what the Azure Lotus God had said, his long eyelashes glistening with starlight, as he reached out to grab the snow lotus.
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord slightly raised his hand and said as the other party frowned, "This thing needs spiritual energy to nourish it. If it comes into your hands, it will lose most of its flavor."
As he spoke, he gently lifted the white silk cloth, sat down on the couch, and brought the flower to Su Yao's lips: "Eat it."
Su Yao remained wary, but her fox tail loosened its grip and swayed back and forth behind her.
He sniffed the flower several times, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and ate it from the hand of the Azure Lotus God.
The snow lotus was sweet and melted in her mouth. Su Yao ate all the flowers in no time. After finishing, she was still not satisfied and even lightly touched the palm of the Azure Lotus God.
The deity's expression stiffened slightly, but his eyes softened visibly. He asked softly, "Do you like it?"
Su Yao thought the God was really hateful, but the snow lotus was delicious.
Moreover, each flower costs a thousand taels of silver, so by that calculation, he actually made a profit.
Su Yao weighed her options for a moment, then gently flicked her velvet tail, glancing at the other person's wrist beneath their wide, turquoise sleeves, and whispered, "I want more."
The Azure Lotus God's pupils suddenly darkened, like an ink carp diving into a deep pool, leaving no ripples.
He lowered his long eyelashes, turned his palm, cut the ice silk, and gently folded it several times, and another snow lotus bloomed.
Su Yao, having tasted the flavor of flowers, didn't need the God-King to tell her this time; she simply held the other's hand and began to eat on her own.
His hair was as black as ink, with a few strands falling onto the robes of the Azure Lotus God, like dots of a beautiful landscape.
The flowers were fragrant, but unfortunately they were eaten too quickly. Su Yao pursed her lips, reluctant to part until the other's palm was clean, before reluctantly letting go.
"This food is cold in nature and should not be eaten in large quantities."
The Azure Lotus God clenched his fist tightly and turned his face slightly. Su Yao noticed that the other party's earlobes were slightly red.
Before Su Yao could say anything, the Azure Lotus God led her to a side room in the courtyard and left on his own.
Su Yao watched the door slam shut with a bang and couldn't help but snort softly.
Strange deity.
He looked around and saw that the room contained only bamboo tables and rattan chairs, cool mats and plain silk, and was extremely simple.
Compared to her own ornate and jewel-encrusted cave dwelling, Su Yao immediately felt a little aggrieved.
He didn't want to live with that poor god; he wanted to go home.
The incense burns lightly, yet the sweltering heat is hard to dispel.
Even as the sun set, the evening remained sweltering, and Su Yao was drenched in sweat, her temples damp with moisture.
Frustrated, he took off all his clothes and threw them on the ground, intending to transform into a fox, but found his fur even hotter.
He could only grab a piece of tobacco and drape it over himself before finally managing to fall asleep.
When Su Yao woke up, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord chose this cultivation site, where cold peaks are shrouded in clouds, craggy rocks chase cranes, secluded peaks are shrouded in mist, and deep streams are filled with verdant greenery.
Not only is it exceptionally elegant, but it is also nestled in the woods, where birds chirp and the air is filled with a rich, spiritual atmosphere.
The only downside is that there are too many mosquitoes.
Yesterday, Su Yao kicked off her gauze in the middle of the night to cool off, and when she got up, she found her body covered in countless red welts, which were both painful and itchy.
Su Yao was treated like royalty in the fox clan; she had never seen anything like this before.
He scratched it casually, and a blush spread across his chest; the more he scratched, the itchier it became.
Su Yao rolled around on the couch several times in discomfort, and her eyes began to sting again.
What a lousy place this is!
Left with no other choice, he threw on a few clothes, boiled water to fill the bucket, pulled weeds and picked flowers. Only when he was soaked in the water did he catch his breath.
But it still itches.
His skin was already delicate, and he usually took good care of it with milk petals. After being tortured like this, the crimson color spread even more.
Su Yao stuck out her fox tail and scratched herself, but she was still extremely uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to burst into tears, he suddenly remembered the string of jade lotus-patterned prayer beads and thought that perhaps he could give it a try.
For some reason, the mosquito was particularly fond of his chest.
Su Yao then got up, took out the Buddhist prayer beads, took out a few beads, dipped them in some soap pods, and rolled them back and forth on the spot on her chest where she had been stung.
The prayer beads are cool to the touch, floating gently on the water.
However, after a short while, he felt much better.
Su Yao exhaled, her soft ears twitched, and she used the beads to roll them over her legs and lower back.
Mosquitoes are so annoying, they always choose the most delicate parts of the skin to bite. Fortunately, the beads can also relieve the itching.
Su Yao rolled around a few times, finally feeling much better, and leaned against the bathtub, letting out a few soft moans.
He discovered that the bead seemed to have magic; even when he let go of it, it continued to spin on its own.
Su Yao simply let go, letting the two beads roll around on their edges, while she picked up the other one and played with it in her palm, folding her hands together.
This bead is a really good thing. He was much happier, and when he was in a good mood, he even kissed the bead in his palm.
——
The Azure Lotus God does not need to sleep, but the nights are peaceful and most suitable for meditation.
He was meditating while counting his prayer beads, his mind was serene and his thoughts were tranquil, when suddenly a strange scene appeared before his eyes.
Before me lay skin as smooth as jade, like frost and snow over plum blossoms, like dew on fragrant lychees; and as I drew nearer, I could smell the faint scent of peaches.
For some reason, he felt someone press his fingertips and lightly trace across the other person's chest.
In just a few moments, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord felt his scalp explode and his blood flow backward.
He tried to break free from this illusion, but suddenly felt his lips kiss the other person.
They gently touch and slowly polish each other.
A light taste is like rich, fragrant cheese, while a more subtle flavor is like almond tofu.
Worse still, he eventually managed to break free, but he couldn't stop himself.
He tried almost everything and couldn't extricate himself.
Finally, he was given a few light kisses.
Then, the Azure Lotus God's breathing became heavy, fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes suddenly opened, his pupils as dark as ink.
A colossal wave surged within his sea of consciousness, crashing down upon the central Azure Lotus Jade and instantly cleaving it in two—
—
Su Yao never expected that the aloof and noble Qinglian Divine Lord, whom everyone described as profound and unyielding, would suddenly burst into the room while he was still in Mu Yu's presence.
He was startled and stood up reflexively, only to realize that he was completely naked.
Perhaps due to her panic, Su Yao slipped, the bead fell, and she fell heavily into the bucket.
The pain made him frown.
He gasped, only to find that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord's expression had also changed drastically.
The other person's pupils were crimson, and Su Yao instantly realized that something was wrong with the Divine Lord.
But the true energy around the Azure Lotus Divine Lord was boiling like a blade, so terrifying that it seemed to want to tear him apart.
Su Yao was so frightened that his heart almost broke. He tried to run away with his hands and feet, but with a bang, he was pulled onto the bed.
"Since you've used sorcery to seduce me..."
The Azure Lotus God, whose usual jade-like beauty was unmatched by anything, now had deep, dark eyes, his pupils burning with a crimson hue like a solar eclipse.
He chuckled and parted Su Yao's knees: "Then come and bear the consequences."
