food fairy
Bubbles kept coming out of the pool of water-colored mud, making a "sizzling" sound like boiling oil, and quickly evaporated and disappeared under the blue light.
Jiang Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, put away the lantern in her hand, and walked towards a white jade wall with a tired heart, but she did not dare to stop for a moment - she could not wait. If she waited for something else, she would probably die of exhaustion here.
Yunwu was very considerate and picked her up directly, sending her steadily into the air. Jiang Jingyuan took advantage of this brief moment to relax, and then raised her head to look upwards.
"brush--"
The plum blossom sleeve arrows, which seemed to be made of ice, suddenly burst out with invisible original power and swung towards the void above.
It was as if just a breeze blew by, and the dark white jade chamber returned to its eternal silence, with no trace of a person.
He quickly jumped out of the invisible space crack with a swift movement. Suddenly, a large area of scorching white light appeared in front of him. Jiang Jingyuan subconsciously lowered his head and squinted his eyes.
With one hand supporting the white jade ground, which was no longer cold, and the other hand raised to cover his eyes, Jiang Jingyuan slowly stood up. The white gauze covering his eyes also adjusted the brightness of the light casting into his eyes.
She put her hand down and walked slowly forward, turning her head to look around at the bright surroundings.
Light and thin clouds like gauze slowly swirled around, and the bright white sunlight, warm to the point of being scorching, filled the entire attic. The cry of cranes came from afar. Jiang Jingyuan walked to the edge of the attic in a daze, put his hands on the white jade and gold-inlaid railing, and looked down.
The white clouds piled up in layers halfway up the attic. At a glance, one could not find the ground on which the attic stood, but one could clearly sense that the position one was standing at was high enough to look down upon the world.
The sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard above his head. Jiang Jingyuan raised his head and saw groups of light, white figures flying dimly in the thin clouds above.
She looked up at the sky, her eyes covered by a white veil unable to block out the dazzling sunlight, yet she kept them open without blinking, and in a daze, she whispered in her mind, "Is there...a palace in the sky?"
There was hesitation in his words.
For a long time, my mind was silent and no one responded.
Jiang Jingyuan paused, lowered his head, and called out in confusion, "Xu Qinglin? Xu Qinglin, are you there?"
In the dead silence, only her stunned voice slowly echoed in her mind:
"Xu Qinglin...? Say something..."
In the sunlight, the girl in white clothes in front of the white jade and gold-inlaid railing looked ahead with her eyes, the expression on her face seemed calm and blank.
She stood there quietly for a long time, closed her eyes, and looked up at the white jade palace in the clouds with a calm expression.
"Maybe it's blocked by some force..." Jiang Jingyuan said calmly in his heart, and stopped worrying about it. Instead, he thought about taking a short rest and then climbing the cloud to take a look at the palace in the sky.
What a pity...
In the boundless bright sky, groups of birds with pure white feathers flew past behind us, and fish jumped into the water in the misty clouds.
Jiang Jingyuan looked up at the palace above, which seemed to be approaching soon and yet seemed out of reach, and quickly stepped into the air.
The layers of pure white clothes were so misty that they almost blended into the clouds.
"What a pity." Jiang Jingyuan thought, "If Xu Qinglin was here, she would have brought me up much more easily."
I don’t know how long it took.
Jiang Jingyuan stopped mid-air and looked at the distant white jade palace high in the sky. Impatience flashed in his eyes and his brows wrinkled slightly. He thought to himself, "Are you playing tricks on me, mist? I don't have to go there..."
"What could happen..." Jiang Jingyuan glanced at the sky below, where she couldn't see the ground. The first hesitation in her heart was quickly suppressed by her. The villain in her heart showed disdain and snorted coldly, "What could happen is that I can just jump from here. Anyway, I won't... uh, probably won't, uh, die."
The more I thought about it, the more uncertain and hesitant I became.
After a pause, she turned around and walked back, deciding to go back to the attic to think of a solution. It was quite hot standing in the air...
call--
A breeze blew past her. Jiang Jingyuan had just taken two steps back when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a long dragon-like shadow appearing not far away from her.
ah?
Jiang Jingyuan turned his head with a dull look in his eyes.
Not far to her left, in the clouds illuminated by the sunlight, a jade staircase that seemed real yet illusory emerged.
Jiang Jingyuan turned around and looked in the direction of the jade steps, and clearly saw the jade steps leading straight up to the white jade palace in the clouds.
“……?”
Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but look confused.
"What is going on..." Jiang Jingyuan was silent in a daze, and walked forward from his heart, stepping on the jade steps towards the sky.
What the hell is this unpredictable and inexplicable fate...?
Destiny means that when your luck starts to improve, everything is pushing you towards the sky.
When you are pressed down and sinking to the bottom of the water, no matter how hard you try and struggle, you cannot swim up even a bit.
It pinches your neck and makes you unable to move.
No one will be willing, no one will not want to resist...it's just that fate is the best way to teach people to go with the flow.
But if things can't get any worse, the slightest change or disturbance in fate will push people to move forward.
Walking on the jade steps that were as transparent as ice, Jiang Jingyuan shuttled through the thin clouds and mist. He raised his head slightly and looked up along the jade steps -
She had already come here, how could He who was watching her let her go so easily?
At this moment, her and His roles as the master and the controlled were briefly reversed.
It wasn't that she wanted to go to the white jade palace in heaven, but that He wanted her to go to the white jade palace in heaven.
The girl in white lowered her head slightly, curled the corners of her mouth, and then lowered it in an instant. When she raised her face again, her expression was calm and indifferent.
But this also means that there must be something waiting for her in heaven, whether it is a blessing or a curse... is unknown.
Is it a god?
Jiang Jingyuan tilted his head, and his eyes, as dark as the abyss, half closed.
She... is looking forward to it.
Longevity should be longevity, right?
…………
"Click..." A pair of small boots stepped at the end of the jade steps.
Jiang Jingyuan reached out and pushed open the white jade carved palace door in front of her. Amidst the dull friction sound, she stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes.
The shady surroundings were not the interior of a magnificent palace, but rather an endless expanse of white mist. Indistinctly, there seemed to be a figure in white sitting in it.
Jiang Jingyuan murmured unconsciously in his heart: "Immortal...?"
"Um."
A cold and calm voice slowly came from the clouds and mist. The woman in white sitting in the clouds slowly opened her eyes, and her gilded eyes looked straight at him through the thin clouds and mist.
"Did I say anything just now?" Jiang Jingyuan wondered in his heart, but did not react. He quietly looked at the woman in white in the clouds in front of him.
In the boundless clouds and mist, the two looked at each other in silence for a while.
After a long moment, the woman in white behind the mist sat motionless, then suddenly spoke slowly, "Do you want to live forever?"
The corners of Jiang Jingyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he remained silent with a calm face.
The clouds and mist became quiet again.
The woman in white closed her eyes gently, sighed softly, and said nothing more.
Instead, Jiang Jingyuan suddenly asked, "I want to know the method to achieve immortality."
The pair of calm gilded eyes looked over, and the woman in white said calmly: "Didn't you see it? The Immortal Eater."
After a pause, she closed her eyes and said, "There is another way, which is faster..."
She glanced at Jiang Jingyuan calmly and asked, "Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly smiled upon hearing this. She stepped into the depths of the mist and walked towards the woman in white sitting in the center, saying casually, "Possession?"
"It seems that you want to choose the first method." The woman in white looked at the girl approaching, her gilded eyes calm and she said without any reaction.
Jiang Jingyuan was a little surprised, but she shook her head gently. There was not much emotion in her dark eyes, and she said calmly: "I don't believe it.
After a pause, she said, "It's not that I don't believe that eating immortals can make you immortal, but..."
Jiang Jingyuan stared at the misty, gilded eyes of the woman in white in front of him, and spoke word by word:
"I'm not sure, but I find it hard to believe. Can mortals become immortals simply by eating immortal food?"
As she approached, the layers of mist in front of her seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible hand, revealing the complete figure of the woman in white sitting motionless in front of her.
The copper locks and chains extending from the depths of the misty clouds firmly locked the woman's shoulders, and then wrapped around her neck and body, binding her. She sat quietly in the clouds, unable to move, like a statue.
"Why don't you believe it?" The woman in white didn't feel embarrassed at all about being seen in her miserable and embarrassing situation. Her face was calm, and her pair of gilded eyes showed no sadness, joy, or emotion. She asked.
Jiang Jingyuan said: "Because I saw the Food Fairy in the illusion."
There is almost no one who has not thought of becoming an immortal by eating immortals after seeing the latter part of the illusion.
But then I thought, the illusion is controlled by people...
The one who created this illusion and let her see it was only a god, but why did the god tell her this? Isn't this asking her to fight the god to the death?
——What benefits can this bring to the gods themselves?
Nothing in the world happens without a reason.
So Jiang Jingyuan didn't believe it.
Hearing this, the woman in white closed her gilded eyes slightly, as if she wanted to nod, but due to the chain around her neck, she only uttered a soft "hmm".
There was no emotion, no statement, just a gesture of listening.
"People can't remain calm in the face of what they desire most," the woman in white said calmly. "Don't you desire immortality? Then why have you come to the immortal mountain, into this barrier, and here?"
The question from the woman in white couldn't help but bring back Jiang Jingyuan's sad memories.
She recalled her experiences during this period with tears in her eyes, and gnashed her teeth inwardly: "I was entrusted with the task of blowing up this barrier and this mountain..."
Jiang Jingyuan gritted her teeth secretly in her heart, but still didn't say it on her face. She thought it would be better not to provoke the person in front of her, as she still had many questions to ask.
After a pause, she felt a chill in her heart, as if she had thought of something. She looked at the woman in white in front of her with a complicated look in her eyes, her mouth slightly opened subconsciously, but the next moment she suddenly pursed her lips, calm and almost indifferent.
"How did you and Feng Qingyi survive?" Jiang Jingyuan asked instead of answering.
She looked coldly at the woman in white in front of her, silently reciting a name in her heart -
The wind has fallen asleep.
