Chapter 36 36 "Do you want to watch me wash?"
Su Xiaoyuan was stunned by this sudden Shura scene.
One is the elder who has always been gentle and kind, and the other is the beautiful sister I just met today. They seem to have nothing in common, no, three people, so how come they suddenly started to have a storyline of burning winter?
It wasn't until Immortal Lord Mu Qing's puppet drew his sword and slashed at Elder Bai that she came to her senses and exclaimed, "Elder Bai, be careful!"
Most of the cultivators in Fengyue Sect have not very good combat capabilities. Elder Bai is already a strong man in the sect, but he is still not comparable to a serious martial artist.
Mu Qing is a technician of the Yanshi Sect. He is young and his fighting ability is far inferior to that of Elder Bai.
However, the guard puppet is the secret of Yanshi Sect. Its cultivation level is equivalent to that of a sword cultivator from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spirit Transformation stage. It is very expensive and is used exclusively for inner disciples to protect their lives when traveling in the martial arts world.
Elder Bai leaped back, but was still swept by the sharp sword wind and fell to the ground, with a long cut on his cheek.
He sat sideways on the ground, his hairpin had fallen off, and his long, shiny black hair, as silky as satin, hung down from his shoulders. Blood slowly seeped out of the wound, staining his skin red, as beautiful as a red plum blossom against the snow.
Perhaps because he was on a mission today, he didn't dress as coquettishly as he usually did in the sect. He wore a plain and formal white robe, which made him look more like a bullied young widow from a good family.
He didn't say anything after being beaten, but just looked at Jiang Mingyi and shed tears silently.
When a beauty falls into trouble, everyone who sees it feels sad. Su Xiaoyuan, who is obsessed with looks, couldn't stand this and immediately wanted to go forward to help him, but someone grabbed her wrist.
"Don't get involved, swords and knives have no eyes." The puppet said coldly.
"But Elder Bai..." Su Xiaoyuan was a little anxious.
Although she knew both sides, there was a difference in closeness between them. Elder Bai was like an elder to her, and it was difficult for her to stand idly by when she saw him suffer.
The puppet man put his arm around her waist without saying a word. Su Xiaoyuan felt her feet lighten, and when she came to her senses, she found herself being carried by the puppet man to a place far away from the three people but where she could have a clear view of the entire situation.
"He could have dodged that sword." said the puppet.
"Ah?" Su Xiaoyuan was surprised. "How did you know?"
"I can see that." The puppet answered concisely.
Su Xiaoyuan was about to ask him how he saw it and why she couldn't see it, when she heard Jiang Mingyi say, "Bai Yunmeng, why don't you hide!"
It turns out that Sister Jiang is really Elder Bai’s Taoist partner!
Elder Bai lowered his eyes, frowned, and sneered, "Are you finally willing to acknowledge me?"
Jiang Mingyi: "I'm sorry... I thought you were a mortal back then... I lied to you once, and you lied to me once too..."
She touched her nose and said, "We're even now... It's been over a hundred years, it's time for you to let go of your obsession..."
Elder Bai sneered, his eyes crimson and tears glistening. "What you mean by even? You mean you let me watch you die in my arms, and then shunned me for over a hundred years? Who are you, anyway? Is even the name Xiao Wuxin a lie?"
Jiang Mingyi avoided his gaze: "Ah... This is a bit unfair of me. Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you? Anything I can do..."
Elder Bai raised his eyelids. "I don't want any compensation, and I don't blame you. If you need to blame someone, blame me for being so ignorant back then. I pushed you too hard, making you feel suffocated. Wasn't it tiring to be with me back then? For over a hundred years, I've been reflecting on this..."
Mu Qing had been keeping an eye on his beloved out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her expression soften and seem to be about to make a move, he immediately went crazy again: "Shameless old witch, you are tempting me again! Die!"
He urged the puppet and said with gritted teeth, "Kill him for me!"
The puppet raised his sword and attacked Elder Bai again.
But this time, before he could get close, Jiang Mingyi had already made her move. A green light overflowed from her palm, and with a few "ding ding" sounds, the sword in the puppet's hand instantly broke into several pieces.
The puppet was controlled by the command and did not turn back even though the sword was broken. It continued to attack Elder Bai. Without a weapon, it used its hands as claws and suddenly grabbed Elder Bai's neck.
"Mu Qing! Stop!" Jiang Mingyi shouted.
Mu Qing's eyes were red with anger, and she was determined to kill her love rival.
Elder Bai's face was pale and he was out of breath, but he still stared at Jiang Mingyi without blinking, with a look of no regrets in death.
Jiang Mingyi could only cast a spell in desperation, and with a loud "boom", blue flames gushed out from the puppet's seven orifices.
The puppet finally let go of its hand, shrank to its original palm size and floated in the air. It was soon completely engulfed by the flames, turned into a piece of charcoal and fell to the ground, breaking into eight pieces.
Su Xiaoyuan seemed to see Mu Qing's heart broken into eight pieces.
His face turned pale, he covered his heart, and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I'm sorry, Mu Qing. I just forgot that the Yanshi technique can backfire... Don't move. I'll heal you..."
Before he finished speaking, Elder Bai beside him let out a soft moan.
Jiang Mingyi looked at this and then at that, not knowing which one to take care of first.
In the end, Immortal Mu Qing, who was vomiting blood, won narrowly because of his serious injuries.
Jiang Mingyi went over to support him: "Sit down first..."
Mu Qing pushed her hand away and stared at Elder Bai: "Sister, is he the one who will win today?
Me, either me or him, how would you choose? "
Elder Bai smiled weakly and said with his last breath, "Ah Xin, I don't want to embarrass you. Knowing that you are still alive and being able to see you again, I have no regrets in this life..."
Jiang Mingyi was in a dilemma: "I..."
Mu Qing sneered, "Okay! I get it! I'm leaving!"
He took out a wonderfully crafted wooden bird from his sleeve and threw it into the air. The bird flapped its wings and turned into a magical crane.
Mu Qing struggled to fly and sat on the crane's back. He ignored Jiang Mingyi's calls behind him and flew away without looking back.
Jiang Mingyi wanted to chase after him, but when he saw his old Taoist partner's face still bleeding, he gritted his teeth and walked towards him.
"Let me help you up..."
Elder Bai pushed her hand away, slowly stood up by himself, holding onto the wall, his face full of disappointment: "Ah Xin, I don't need you to stay just because you feel sorry for me..."
Jiang Mingyi: "I'm not... I didn't..."
Elder Bai: "Could it be that you still have feelings for me and want to stay with me forever?"
Jiang Mingyi retreated instantly: "That's another matter..."
Elder Bai glanced at her indifferently and said, "Xiao Wuxin, think it through before you come to me."
After saying that, he walked downstairs without looking back.
In the blink of an eye, all that was left in the box were broken plates and bowls on the floor, spilled food and wine, a food table that had been chopped in half, and a screen that had been half burned...
There is also a silly Jiang Mingyi.
Su Xiaoyuan didn't know how to comfort her and felt a little guilty. After all, if she hadn't shouted, Elder Bai might not have discovered Sister Jiang.
She walked over and said cautiously: "Sister Jiang... I'm sorry..."
Jiang Mingyi came back to his senses and touched her head: "How can you blame Xiaoyuan?"
"When you're out there, this kind of thing is inevitable. Haha..." She laughed dryly, picked up a surviving nut pastry and took a bite. "This pastry is good. What's it called?"
Su Xiaoyuan whispered: "Call it 'Qi Ren Zhi Fu'..."
Jiang Mingyi: “Hmm!”
"Do you want to go to a private room and order some dishes?" Su Xiaoyuan suggested.
Jiang Mingyi waved his hands dejectedly: "Forget it, forget it. I'd better go back early and cry till dawn on my lonely pillow and cold quilt..."
Su Xiaoyuan: "...Sister Jiang, be careful on the road. Don't worry about what's happening here. I'll take care of it. You can go back and have a good rest."
The puppet frowned, seeming to disagree, but didn't say anything in the end.
Jiang Mingyi grabbed Su Xiaoyuan's hand, tears welling in his eyes. He glanced at the puppet with a strange look and sighed: "Sister Xiaoyuan, you are so kind. You... take care of yourself..."
After seeing Jiang Mingyi off, Su Xiaoyuan asked the waiter to calculate the amount of compensation and the cost of food and drinks, paid the bill, packed some roast meat and snacks to take back to Ruan Mianmian, and then walked out of the restaurant with the puppet.
When Su Xiaoyuan walked onto the street and felt a slight breeze, she still felt dizzy.
She came out to eat, but unexpectedly she didn't eat much of the rice, but ate a lot of melon, which was the sect elder's melon!
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come out to eat, or I should have gone to another restaurant..." Su Xiaoyuan still felt a little guilty, "If only I hadn't called Elder Bai."
"I don't blame you," the puppet said. "That man is a philanderer and fickle. Sooner or later, he would encounter something like this."
Su Xiaoyuan muttered, "Sister Jiang has been kind enough to help us. We can't speak ill of her behind her back, Fu Tingyun."
Fu Tingyun: "Okay. Stay away from her, so that she won't get hurt next time."
Su Xiaoyuan thought of the scene just now and felt a little scared. She nodded and said, "I understand."
With her level of cultivation, she might lose half her life if she was swept by the sword wind. She really should stay away from the Shura field.
I didn't expect that young man was so cruel and extreme, and wanted to kill Elder Bai with one move. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
It was still early, so the man and the puppet went to several shops and bought some daily necessities.
What Su Xiaoyuan was most satisfied with was a large foldable bathtub. When unfolded, it was a large wooden barrel half a person's height, and when folded, it was only the size of a biscuit. It also had an adjustable constant temperature function. Pour cold water into it and wait for a few minutes, and you can get a bucket of hot water at the right temperature, which will not get cold no matter how long you soak in it.
The only drawback is that it requires burning spirit stones. A 30-minute bath will probably burn two low-grade spirit stones.
Su Xiaoyuan discovered that the world of immortal cultivation actually had many convenient daily necessities and facilities. It was just because she was too poor before that many things were unheard of or seen by her.
She bought three bathtubs at once, one for herself, one for her best friend, and the remaining one for Fu Tingyun - since she could take off her pants, she could take a bath.
Although puppets don't get dirty and don't need to be washed like dolls, Su Xiaoyuan wants him to experience the comfort of taking a bath.
Besides, she had her own little plan - now that the problem of the chastity pants had been solved, she would always find a chance to check it when she got back. It would be a bit inappropriate to take off his pants for no reason, so using a bath as an excuse was a natural thing to do.
Su Xiaoyuan asked the puppet to pick out some items for his own use, put them in the Qiankun bag, and then went home.
When we returned to the courtyard, it was already dark.
Su Xiaoyuan pushed open the door, walked to the table, took a low-grade spirit stone from the small pottery plate and put it into the lamp.
A flash of inspiration came to her, and Su Xiaoyuan glanced at the ground inadvertently, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
The ground was in a mess. The cat ears and fish tails she had hidden were scattered all over the floor, as well as some gauze and chain fragments, which were obviously her Wushan goddess costume.
"How could this happen..." She hurriedly picked up those treasures that had never been seen in public and stuffed them into the Qiankun bag around her waist, for fear that the puppet would take a closer look.
After putting away the pair of women's clothes with ears and tails, she found the torn Qiankun bag under the bed.
The bag was broken, so the stuff fell all over the floor.
As soon as Su Xiaoyuan saw the marks, she knew it was caused by a cat scratch.
But she had clearly hidden the Qiankun bag in the wicker box before she went out, and even specially tucked it inside the winter quilt. How could it fall out for no reason?
She looked at the puppet suspiciously: "Fu Tingyun, do you know what's going on?"
The puppet's face showed no trace of guilt. He glanced at the half-open window. There were a few dark plum blossom marks on the windowsill. "It seems the cat has been here."
No matter how clear-headed Su Xiaoyuan is, she should have learned a lesson after a few setbacks.
The cat can't open the box, let alone get the Qiankun bag out from between the quilts.
"Did you take out this Qiankun bag?" Su Xiaoyuan asked him.
Fu Tingyun took it and looked at it, his face calm and his heart still: "No."
Su Xiaoyuan: "It was lying safely under the winter quilt. Could it have grown legs and escaped?"
"Winter quilt?" Fu Tingyun said, "I dried the quilt in the sun, maybe it fell out then."
Su Xiaoyuan was skeptical: "Why did you suddenly think of drying the quilt?"
Fu Tingyun: "You said that the quilt after drying in the sun has the fragrance of sunshine. The sun is shining brightly today."
Su Xiaoyuan's heart softened. He actually remembered her unintentional words.
But the matter of the Qiankun bag is still very suspicious!
How could it be such a coincidence that everything else was intact, but the goddess's costume was torn to shreds?
A cat won't just focus on pulling at a piece of clothing.
If you say that this puppet has no share, she would never believe it even if you beat her to death.
But Fu Tingyun had no way of knowing that she had hidden something in the winter quilt. Su Xiaoyuan connected the dots and guessed the whole story.
"I know, Fu Tingyun," she puffed out her cheeks and said with a fierce face, "When you were drying the quilt, you accidentally found the Qiankun bag and turned out my goddess clothes. Then the cat sneaked into the house while you were away and tore the clothes. You were afraid that I would be angry, so you just threw the things all over the floor and put all the blame on the cat, right?"
Fu Tingyun was silent for a moment, his voice still flat: "Yes. I'm sorry."
Su Xiaoyuan was actually not very angry. Seeing the goddess's dress being torn into pieces, she even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she cannot spoil the puppet. Although the influence of the previous owner cannot be eliminated in a short time, she still has to slowly help him get rid of these bad habits.
She tried to keep a straight face, but the puppet was too tall, so she had to look up when she scolded him, which really undermined her dignity.
She brought a small round stool and said fiercely, "Sit down first, Fu Tingyun."
The puppet sat down as he was told.
Su Xiaoyuan finally found some of her master's aura, cleared her throat, and put on a stern face: "Fu Tingyun, do you know where you went wrong today?"
Fu Tingyun raised his eyelids and said, "I'll look through your things and ruin your clothes."
Su Xiaoyuan: "Yes, but these are not the most important things. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, but you can't lie to others, and you can't blame the cat. Do you understand?"
"Now I know." He raised his head and looked at her. Something seemed to tremble slightly, but he couldn't tell whether it was his eyes or his long, thick eyelashes. "Master, are you going to punish me?"
His tone was still cold, but he spoke submissive words. Su Xiaoyuan felt as if a feather was brushing against her heart, making it itchy but she couldn't scratch it.
She wanted to avoid his gaze, but her eyes were drawn to his, like a butterfly caught in a spider web.
"If you do something bad, you must be punished..." She said inexplicably, and her cheeks started to burn.
Fu Tingyun tilted his neck back, his Adam's apple slowly rolling, his voice a little hoarse, particularly alluring: "What's the punishment?"
Su Xiaoyuan swallowed her saliva, her rage rising. She pulled out the purple dress embroidered with white peonies from her Qiankun bag and threw it on the bed with all her might. "I'll punish you by making you wear the flowery dress for the whole day!"
Fu Tingyun glanced at him, his expression calm, like someone who had seen a lot of storms and waves: "That's all?"
That's all?
This "punishment" was somewhat selfish, and Su Xiaoyuan had already made preparations for his unwillingness.
If he refused, she would not have the courage to ask again.
Su Xiaoyuan opened her eyes wide: "Isn't it enough?"
The puppet stood up and said, "You decide."
Su Xiaoyuan felt regretful. If she had known that he would accept it so well, she should have added furry ears and a tail!
"I'll take a shower first and then change my clothes." Fu Tingyun stood up and immediately looked down on others.
He took out the newly bought foldable bathtub from his Qiankun bag and looked at the confused Su Xiaoyuan: "You don't avoid me, do you want to watch me take a bath?"
