Zhu Yi lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Senior Brother Su."
She spoke politely, but made no move with her hands, showing no intention whatsoever of taking the lamp.
"Little Zhu Yi, do you not like it anymore?" Su Linyuan was puzzled as to why Zhu Yi was so cold. He raised his hand to pinch the girl's cheek again, but Zhu Yi rejected him without leaving a trace.
Zhu Yi took a step back.
The joy in Su Linyuan's eyes faded, and Zhu Yi clearly saw the delicate figure of someone else in his eyes at that moment.
She wore a light blue gauze dress, her hair was styled in a high bun with an exquisite phoenix hairpin, and a red flower ornament on her forehead paired with a shimmering half-pearl. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with the joy and shyness of meeting Su Linyuan.
Another point is the disgust and hostility towards Zhu Yishi.
"Little Zhu Yi? It's you! I'm already engaged to Brother Jiang Lin!" The annoying person behind her spoke to Zhu Yi in a very friendly voice.
Zhu Yi couldn't help but turn around to look. Zhu Qianying must be overjoyed! She was so smug!
"Look at your slovenly appearance, how could Jiang Lin like an ignorant country girl like you?"
The voice behind her rang out again, constantly provoking Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi felt a surge of anger. For some reason, she felt an unusually strong negative emotion at that moment and wanted to turn around and slap Zhu Qianying twice!
Su Linyuan raised his eyes, his gentle gaze sweeping over Zhu Yi before looking at the person behind her.
"Chen Ying, you've arrived?" His smile deepened.
The look in Zhu Yi's eyes when she encountered her beloved deeply stung her.
A voice inside my head screamed, "No! I'm going back to kill Zhu Qianying!"
Her neck twisted uncontrollably backward, but Zhu Yi stood firmly rooted to the spot, refusing to budge.
Behind her, Su Linyuan's voice came again: "Little Zhu Yi, Chen Ying and I are engaged. Our wedding day is in a few days. You have to come and attend."
"Little sister Zhu Yi, you've never seen a wedding in the spirit world before, have you? When we get married, remember to come along. I'll have the kitchen prepare lots of delicious food for you." Zhu Qianying's voice was so affected and pretentious that Zhu Yi felt a little nauseous.
"Participate my ass!" Zhu Yi tried to straighten her neck, stood at attention and walked forward, ignoring the two people behind her who were talking about love.
After walking a few steps, "Su Linyuan" caught up with her: "Little Zhuyi, this glass lamp suits you very well. Would you like to turn around and take it?"
Zhu Yi paused, shamelessly wanting to turn around and look at Su Linyuan. He must look very handsome right now, right?
Zhu Yi's hands clenched into fists inside her sleeves, she was somewhat hesitant. She could be at loggerheads with Zhu Qianying, but she couldn't bring herself to glare at Su Linyuan.
It was that indescribable feeling of being wronged and heartbroken again.
The warm red ribbon on her wrist reminded her that the two girls ahead of her had already gone quite far, and she needed to catch up quickly.
Zhu Yi quickened her pace, her clear and flawless voice rising slightly. Her chaotic consciousness was pulled out of the past life dreams of Jiang Lin and Xiao Zhu Yi, and she no longer investigated whether the person behind her engaged to "Su Linyuan" was Zhu Qianying or Jiang Chenying from the spirit world.
She chose to continue reciting the Diamond Sutra.
"All forms are illusory; if one sees all forms as non-forms, one will see the Tathagata."
Who is she? Where is she now? What is she going to do?
Zhu Yi was puzzled. Before her eyes, she seemed to see a girl in pink, with a face like a peach blossom, a gentle smile, and long, smooth hair held together by a lotus-pink ribbon inlaid with pearls.
The bright-eyed, white-toothed girl held a candlestick in front of the Buddha with her delicate hands, the candlelight flickering and almost extinguished. She spoke softly to her, "You are Zhu Yi, the one who must cross the Netherworld Bridge and make a pact with the Peach Tree on Seven-Colored Peak."
Zhu Yi quickened her pace, trying to catch up with the pink figure ahead.
She wanted to ask if Jiang Lin and Jiang Chenying were engaged in that unfinished dream from her past life.
She was very curious, but no matter how fast she quickened her pace, the figure in front of her remained steadily ten meters away from Zhu Yi, neither too close nor too far, seemingly real yet unreal.
On the Bridge of the Underworld, Zhu Yi was far behind Xue Shan and Wei Wei.
The two little girls walking in front were also having a hard time.
A dilapidated thatched hut, a low-hanging moon, a gray sky just before dawn, a difficult mountain path—Xue Shan hopped and skipped onto the path leading to her old home, her heart filled with sorrow.
Her mother, who had led her to sneak out of the house to learn martial arts, stood in front of Xue Shan, nagging her that if she ever got into a sect, she must cultivate diligently and learn some skills.
Xue Shan was in tears. She hadn't seen her hometown village for six years, nor had she seen her mother's loving face for six years. Her heart was filled with sorrow.
"Shanshan, wait a minute. You'll need more travel expenses to go out and find a master. Come back later, your father has prepared some spirit stones for you." Xue's father's voice was a bit rough. As a farmer who worked in the mountains all year round, he always spoke loudly.
Just as Xue Shan was about to jump around and turn around, she suddenly stopped: "No, my family is poor. My father didn't want me to become an apprentice because he wanted to arrange a marriage for me. My mother didn't want me to get married so early, so she secretly sent me to the sect to become an apprentice!"
The road in front of me is wrong too. How could the path in my hometown be red, like the color of pigeon blood?
It should be yellow sand and black mud road.
Xue Shan didn't waste any time. She calmed herself down, carefully recalled what she needed to do, and crossed the Netherworld Bridge.
The red mermaid silk on her wrist shimmered, and the warm touch made Xue Shan feel much more at ease. Surrounded by a gloomy mist, she raised her hands and performed a zombie jump, leaping and hopping until she stumbled and fell across the Netherworld Bridge.
The illusion before her eyes vanished, the smoke dissipated, and the low thatched hut was nowhere to be seen, nor could she hear her mother's nagging. She felt a pang of sadness.
He couldn't wait to cultivate and break through to the Golden Core stage so he could fly home to visit his family.
Xue Shan smiled and waited quietly for her two sisters in the small red brick square at the end of the Netherworld Bridge.
Wei Weiwei stopped not far away, seemingly trapped by something. She was clearly hesitant, her face streaked with tears, and at a loss. To make matters worse, she was peeking around, trying to turn around and look!
Zhu Yi ran wildly at the very back, darting left and right like a snake, as if some demon was chasing her, but she couldn't find a way out, her face filled with resentment, unwillingness, and doubt.
Xue Shan looked at the two of them with some anxiety, but she was at a loss.
Suddenly, I saw a red ribbon flashing with red light, and my heart skipped a beat.
Using this red mermaid ribbon as a link, I called upon my two junior sisters to move forward and cross the Netherworld Bridge.
Xue Shan infused the mermaid's silk ribbon with light green spiritual energy, and used the ribbon to transmit her voice: "Don't look back, what's trapping you is an illusion, we're crossing the Netherworld Bridge!"
"The music has ended, the lovers have parted, do not look back!"
