Chapter 38: Suck out the venom
"He's only deceiving himself. How can an old puppet body really be the master? Signing a blood pact wasn't his own decision. Who could force him to do it by holding a knife to his neck?"
The third sister bit the corner of the quilt hard and said, "Big sister, you have to make the decision for me!"
In the water mirror floating beside the bed, the female cultivator's face was dignified, serious, upright and peaceful, worthy of being the face of the world's largest sect.
"Look at you, why are you provoking him for no reason? You know your junior brother's temper." The eldest sister was helpless.
"I just saw that he was different from before, and I thought it was funny, so I couldn't help but tease him. Who knew he would be so cruel? He wanted to kill me! I don't care, Senior Sister, you have to seek justice for me!"
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to Junior Brother when he comes back." The eldest sister tried to smooth things over skillfully.
"Master Sister is partial to me and doesn't love me anymore!"
"Even though I love you, I can't beat him." The eldest sister sighed.
“…”
"You're over four hundred years old, yet you still act like a child. I told you not to mess with those hot-blooded youngsters..."
"What's wrong with being four hundred years old? Even the senior sister thinks I'm old, hmm..."
"Okay, okay, you're not old, but I am," said the eldest sister helplessly, "You should also focus on your cultivation...
"By the way, Junior Brother said he wanted to come back early. Why didn't you persuade him? Since you could see that he liked Miss Su, why didn't you enlighten him?" asked the Senior Sister.
The third senior sister whimpered, "Big Sister, you don't even care whether I live or die. My precious Mu Qing ran away in anger, and Bai Yunmeng's place is still a mess. It's a rare trip to the Yunyu Sect, but I don't even have anyone to warm my bed..."
Senior Sister: "It's fine if you provoke other demons, but why provoke the Nine-Tailed Fox? And even make a pact with it? Don't you know that their race is naturally infatuated and loyal?"
"How should I know? I met him in the mortal world and thought he was a mortal. I really like him and I've decided to stay with him for decades until he dies. So I have to let him go. No matter how much I like him, I can't just hang myself on a tree..."
"Alright, alright, I get it," the eldest sister said perfunctorily. "Although the Yunyu Sect is small, it's also a friendly sect. You should handle it carefully and don't let people say that we, Taiyan, are bullying our friendly sects. Speaking of which, little junior brother... have you met that Miss Su? What's she like? Why didn't you take a picture and send it back for us to see?"
The third senior sister snorted, "What about taking a picture? I just said a few more words to that little sister, and he wanted to tear me apart alive. That was his treasure, he wanted to stuff it in his Qiankun bag and carry it with him all day long."
"If that's the case, why did he come back so early?" The eldest sister was puzzled. "He forcibly separated his damaged soul from his puppet body, and even after returning, he still has to lie motionless on the black ice bed to recuperate for three months. What's his purpose? Can't he wait until his soul returns to his original body on its own?"
"Big Sister, you don't understand this."
"This unromantic old woman doesn't understand what you young people are thinking. I'm asking you this." The eldest sister said sourly.
"Junior brother, you're scared."
"What are you afraid of?" The eldest sister was puzzled. "Didn't you say that Miss Su was a very nice person?"
"He's not afraid of Xiaoyuan, he's afraid of himself. He's afraid that if he continues like this, he'll be doomed, so he's struggling desperately!"
The eldest sister thought for a moment and said, "No one else can interfere with this matter. It all depends on him. Let him figure it out for himself."
"What are you thinking about?" The third sister said with a "tsk!" "It's already done!"
"...Then you still want to change the formation for him. What if he changes his mind at the last minute?"
"Of course he'll regret it," Third Senior Sister gloated. "He was the one who asked me to modify the formation and break the contract. I was just doing what he said. What did I do wrong? He's screwed me so much that I've lost everything. I'm doing my best by not giving him anything."
"Forget it," said the eldest sister, "let him go back and figure out his true feelings."
After a pause, he said, "After all this talk, what exactly does Miss Su mean?"
When the Third Senior Sister heard this, she pounded the bed with joy: "Hahaha, that girl doesn't even know he's a real person! Even though I'm protecting him now and treating him like a treasure, if I find out one day that he's been lying to her, there will be another drama to watch!"
Senior Sister: "...it seems there is still some work to be done."
…
Fu Tingyun figured it out and made up his mind to let things take their course for the remaining few days, not to engage in unnecessary resistance, and to indulge himself when it was time to do so.
But he actually has no rules on how to indulge himself.
According to the rule that whatever you think about during the day you will dream about at night, Su Xiaoyuan's dream tonight should be more exciting than usual.
When Fu Tingyun fell asleep, he was prepared to be dragged into a strange dream by her, but she had no dreams all night.
The man and the puppet slept peacefully all night.
It was still dark when Fu Tingyun woke up. He was shocked to find that he had slept all night like an ordinary person.
I feel inexplicably empty inside, as if I had eaten a bun without any filling.
For breakfast, let's steam a few steamed buns. You can make them smaller and mix four kinds of fillings, two sweet and two salty. Half of each will be enough for her to taste.
While it's still early, I can go to Huanhua Island and pick some spiritual fruits to make tea...
Fu Tingyun frowned. After staying with this girl for a long time, his thoughts seemed to become more and more worldly.
Third Senior Sister said that puppets would be influenced by the personality of their masters. Of course, this was all made-up nonsense, but it was inevitable that a person would be influenced by another person when they lived with him/her day and night.
Fortunately, I am about to leave, so what impact will it have on me?
Fu Tingyun dispelled the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, picked up the small bamboo basket that Su Xiaoyuan had woven herself, gently pushed open the door, and walked out quietly.
I picked the dewy spiritual fruits, boiled them with the best spiritual tea, put the buns in the steamer, and dawn broke.
Fu Tingyun felt that Su Xiaoyuan had woken up, so he pushed the door open and found her sitting on the edge of the bed with one leg bent, scratching the inside of her ankle.
"What is this?" Fu Tingyun looked at the big red swelling on the snow-white skin.
"Mosquito bites! I got bitten by several mosquitoes while waiting for you to take a shower in the yard last night!" Perhaps because she had just woken up, the girl's voice was a little hoarse and nasal, a bit like she was acting coquettishly.
She untied her ankle, turned her leg around, and showed him her calf: "There's one here, too."
She raised her arm again to show him that there was one on the inside of her left arm, near her armpit, and another on her right wrist: "Here, here."
Then she tilted her neck back to show him the pink bulge near her collarbone: "And here, there's a lot!"
The mosquitoes in the world of immortal cultivation may also practice some kind of martial arts, and are more poisonous than mosquitoes in reality. It was okay last night, but after a good sleep I woke up and found that my stomach was swollen into a big lump.
Fu Tingyun had never had such troubles before. Because of his cultivation, snakes, insects, rats and ants would stay away from him. He naturally didn't expect her to wait in the yard last night.
"Sorry, I took too long."
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you," Su Xiaoyuan said hurriedly, "You're a puppet, you can't think of these things. There were more mosquitoes last year, but there are much fewer this year, at least there are none in the house. I'll buy some mosquito repellent herbs tomorrow."
As she spoke, she scratched her mosquito bites one by one, but the more she scratched, the more itchy it became, and the more itchy it became, the more she couldn't help scratching.
The red scratches were particularly conspicuous on the snow-white skin.
Fu Tingyun's Adam's apple moved, and he said inexplicably: "I can relieve your itch."
"Really?" Su Xiaoyuan begged, "Hurry up, hurry up, it really hurts... How can I do it?"
Fu Tingyun walked to the bed, knelt down, and gently held her ankle.
Su Xiaoyuan was startled and subconsciously tried to pull her foot back.
The puppet's loosely clenched fingers suddenly tightened, gripping tightly: "Don't move."
He lifted her legs without saying anything.
Su Xiaoyuan screamed, lost her balance, and fell backwards on the bed: "Wait wait, Fu Tingyun, what are you doing?"
The puppet frowned innocently: "To relieve your itch. My body can heal wounds and detoxify."
He said pulling her legs closer to his face and tilting his head.
Under her shocked gaze, he placed his lips on hers without hesitation and in a businesslike manner, licking her red and swollen skin back and forth a few times.
Soon, another itch replaced the itch on the surface of the skin.
"Okay, okay, Fu Tingyun, the itching is gone..."
Su Xiaoyuan's ears were buzzing, her whole body was trembling, and tears were oozing from the corners of her eyes. She couldn't tell whether it was because of shame or discomfort.
The scene before her inexplicably overlapped with the absurd dream she had one night, leaving her with no confidence to forcefully stop the puppet.
While she was stunned, Fu Tingyun held her ankle, turned her over, and looked at her calf: "There is a piece here too."
And did she really want to stop it? The feeling of warm, wet lips and tongue sweeping across her skin was impossible to ignore. Besides embarrassment and shame, there was also...
Comfortable and stimulating.
A double impact, both physical and psychological.
She should have stopped him forcefully, but she deceived herself by pulling the quilt over her face and letting him finish the one on her calf and then find the one in her knee.
Fortunately, I was covered by my pajamas and was not bitten by mosquitoes.
When the puppet finally released her ankles, Su Xiaoyuan finally regained her sanity.
She struggled to sit up: "Fu Tingyun! You can't do this!"
The puppet stood up and looked down at her from the bedside: "What can't be done?"
Maybe it was because of the backlight, but his eyes looked a little dark. Su Xiaoyuan's heart was pounding. She didn't dare to look him in the eye. She felt that if she looked at him for too long, she would be sucked into those inorganic eyes.
"You can't just suddenly..." Su Xiaoyuan wanted to be more tactful, but she was afraid that the puppet's simple brain circuits wouldn't be able to understand, so she had to say it directly, "You can't just lick me suddenly!"
Fu Tingyun watched the girl's chest rise and fall rapidly, her skin dyed the color of the rosy glow between the sea and sky, and her panicked eyes were filled with tears.
I scared her again, he thought, but he didn't feel guilty at all. A dark and despicable joy seeped out from the bottom of his heart, making him feel as refreshed as drinking ice water in the dog days of summer.
He tilted his head, slightly confused. "It's to relieve an itch, so why not?"
Su Xiaoyuan was also confused for a moment.
Yes, why not? She bought him to do that kind of thing, and what he had to do was much more excessive than licking a mosquito bite.
Thinking about the dream she had, she felt even less confident to teach him a lesson. She could only mumble, "I'd feel uncomfortable if I did that."
"Still itchy?"
The place that was licked was no longer itchy. Su Xiaoyuan looked down at her ankle and found that the swelling had completely disappeared and even the red mark had faded.
"It's not itchy anymore, but you don't have to lick it to stop itching..." Su Xiaoyuan said righteously, "Wouldn't it be the same if you applied it with your hands?"
The other mosquito bites on her body were still itchy, and Su Xiaoyuan was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for herself.
She held up a finger: "Just lend me some saliva."
"Okay." The puppet agreed and leaned over to suck her finger.
Su Xiaoyuan only felt her fingertips being wrapped in moist warmth, and a tingling numbness like an electric shock spread throughout her body.
She quickly pulled out her fingers and applied the moisture from her fingertips to her wrists.
After repeating this several times, the mosquito bites on my arms disappeared.
Only the largest and most swollen one on the neck was left.
She did the same thing, but for some reason, the irritation didn't go away after trying twice.
"Forget it." She decided to give up.
"Let me see."
The puppet asked her to raise her head, then pressed it with his fingertips, gradually increasing in intensity. "Toxic fluid has accumulated inside and solidified into lumps."
Su Xiaoyuan felt around and indeed felt a small hard lump: "Don't worry about it, it will be fine in a few days, right?"
"No," Fu Tingyun said, "If the venom is not sucked out, it won't heal on its own and may even spread."
Su Xiaoyuan was frightened. What kind of mosquito is this? Is it a spirit?
The puppet retracted his hand: "Do you want to suck out the venom?"
"How do I suck it?" Su Xiaoyuan asked knowingly, but unconsciously looked at his slightly wet lips.
Fu Tingyun gently lifted her chin, letting her raise her head. He slowly approached her. When they were about to touch, he stopped, his hot and moist breath spraying on her skin: "Is it okay?"
Su Xiaoyuan couldn't help but hold her breath. It felt like a string in her body was being pulled tight, and she was tense from head to toe. She couldn't say "no" for a long time.
It’s too late, I can’t stop.
The skin here was more sensitive than elsewhere, and Su Xiaoyuan could clearly feel his lips and tongue, unusually soft and warm, gently rubbing along the carotid artery. This was clearly the most dangerous area, but the gentle movements made it difficult to be on guard.
Just when she was in a daze, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck, like being pricked by a needle, and then the gentle movement suddenly turned into a strong sucking.
Blood gushed out of the wound and was immediately sucked up by him.
Su Xiaoyuan was shocked and subconsciously tried to break free, but she was like a prey paralyzed by a snake's venom and was completely unable to move.
When she came to her senses, Fu Tingyun had already let go of her: "Okay."
Su Xiaoyuan raised her hand and touched it in a daze. The swelling subsided and she felt a cool sensation under her skin.
"...Thank you, Fu Tingyun." She felt a little complicated.
"It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about," Fu Tingyun replied politely, "The buns should be cooked. I'll go check them out. You wash up first."
Then he walked out the door.
Su Xiaoyuan sat with the quilt in her arms for a while, calmed herself down, and got up from the bed.
After washing up, she combed her hair in front of the folding dressing mirror and suddenly noticed something extra on her neck.
The mosquito bite is gone, and now there's a small red mark. No matter the shape or the location, it looks like...
What are you thinking about!
Su Xiaoyuan grabbed her hair hard, and the hair that had just been combed was messed up again in an instant.
She seems to be getting more and more abnormal recently.
How can I use him to practice if this continues? The key to all the techniques of the Hehuan Sect is to be sober, to tease the other party, but not to get emotionally aroused - both physically and mentally.
Even if she gave up on the exam, it would be dangerous for her to continue having an ambiguous relationship with the puppet.
When she is about to die, what should she do with this puppet?
She could have treated him like a cat—find him a reliable new owner in advance.
But if there are all these messed up things involved, how can she give him away? Even if someone is willing to take him, she can't get over it.
Rather than giving it away, it's better to destroy it before dying...
Su Xiaoyuan was so scared by the thought that flashed through her mind that she broke out in a cold sweat.
How could she think that?! When did she become so possessive of the puppet?
You have to quit and take advantage of the Wushan Festival to cool down.
Just then, the puppet came in with a steamer basket, his eyes passing calmly over the red mark on her neck: "The buns are cooked, eat them while they're hot."
"Fu...Fu Tingyun..."
The puppet raised his eyelids and looked at her in confusion.
"Well... I'll go to class by myself today. If you're bored, you can go out and play by yourself. The money is in the second to last drawer. Just take it if you need it."
The puppet looked at her for a moment and replied calmly, "Okay."
