Chapter 64 64 "Xiao Yuan, I miss you."
The distant sound of bells rang out, and Su Xiaoyuan's heart moved. She opened her eyes and found that the puppet was looking at her with empty eyes.
Although puppets usually have no expression, she was still shocked by the inhuman feeling at this moment.
She had kissed the puppet at least eighty times in the past few days, but she had never realized so clearly as she did at this moment that she was kissing a human-machine.
But it wasn't like this just a few seconds ago.
What was the difference? Su Xiaoyuan couldn't put her finger on it. The same eyes, the same expression, the same practiced kissing, but something seemed to be missing.
She felt like a pervert for kissing him in a trance just now, but now she realized that she was not pervert enough.
She unconsciously loosened her hand that was pulling at his collar, and her lips naturally parted.
The puppet didn't react, but just lowered his hands: "What's wrong?"
Su Xiaoyuan hugged her chest and rubbed her arms to hide her awkwardness: "The wind is a bit cold, let's go back."
"good."
"Oh, right, the communicator!" Su Xiaoyuan said, "It's still underwater and we haven't found it yet..."
Before she finished speaking, the puppet lowered its head, scanned the surroundings like a camera, dived into the water, swam a few meters like a fish, dived to the bottom of the water, and swam back quickly with a shiny object in its hand, which was her communicator.
"Found it." He handed it to her.
"Thank you..." Su Xiaoyuan took it, and the strange feeling in her heart became stronger. Just now, they, one man and one puppet, searched underwater for a long time but couldn't find it. Since it has this function, why didn't they use it just now?
Or we should ask, since you were hiding it just now and didn't need it, why are you not hiding it now?
A gust of wind blew over, and it was really a bit cold. Su Xiaoyuan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's go back to the wing boat first."
"Okay." After receiving the order, the puppet man stretched out his long legs and walked quickly towards the wing boat, making the lake water "gurgle".
Su Xiaoyuan slipped with every step and couldn't keep up at all. She could only ask for help: "Fu Tingyun, wait for me."
As expected, the puppet stopped and waited for her there, motionless, like a pillar stuck in the water.
Su Xiaoyuan stretched out her hand to him, but he didn't take it. He just looked at her hand.
"Give me a hand, Fu Tingyun." Su Xiaoyuan had no choice but to say.
The puppet then held her hand.
Back on the wing boat, Su Xiaoyuan said, "I'm going to take a shower and change clothes."
When the puppet heard this, it responded immediately as if it had typed a command line: "Xiao Yuan wants to take a bath, go prepare hot water."
As he said this, he strode towards the cabin.
"Hey, hey," Su Xiaoyuan hurriedly followed, "You're still dripping with water..."
The puppet looked down, raised his hand and made a hand gesture, and then suddenly, scalding hot steam came out of his body like the lid of a steamer being opened.
Su Xiaoyuan quickly dodged and narrowly avoided getting burned.
The puppet instantly steamed himself dry: "Alright."
Su Xiaoyuan: “…”
She couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Fu Tingyun, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
The puppet shook his head: "Nothing."
He continued walking into the cabin, repeating to himself, "Xiao Yuan wants to take a shower. Go get some hot water."
Su Xiaoyuan became more and more worried and could only follow him.
The puppet stood at the cabin door and slowly shook his head, scanning the entire room. He successfully located the bathtub, towels, bath beans and other bathing utensils, took them out one by one and arranged them, filled the bathtub with water and heated it, all in one go.
"Xiaoyuan, please take a bath." He stretched out his arm, with a neatly folded cloth hanging on it, and in the other hand he held a porcelain jar filled with bath beans.
Seeing that the master didn't move, he tilted his head and asked, "Do you want to undress Xiaoyuan?"
Su Xiaoyuan: "...Thank you, I can do it myself."
As she spoke, she took the cloth off his arm, took the jar of bath beans and held it in her arms.
"You are still injured, go lie down on the bed next to you."
"While Xiaoyuan is taking a bath, you should wait outside the door." said the puppet.
"Xiaoyuan now orders you to lie down on the bed immediately." Su Xiaoyuan was helpless.
The puppet was offline for two seconds before nodding mechanically: "Okay."
Su Xiaoyuan was soaking in the bathtub, feeling something was wrong.
Could it be that the puppet was damaged because of the forced tightening just now?
But it’s the kidneys that are damaged, not the brain…
No, a puppet shouldn't have a brain... Could it be that his thinking module is connected to his kidneys? What kind of anti-human design is this!
Su Xiaoyuan knew nothing about the principles of puppetry.
It’s late today, let’s ask Sister Xiao and Immortal Lord Mu Qing tomorrow morning.
She quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, returned to the cabin, and lifted the tent to see the puppet lying straight on the bed, his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
Su Xiaoyuan was startled: "Fu...Fu Tingyun, what are you doing?"
Puppet: "Xiao Yuan ordered me to lie on the bed."
Su Xiaoyuan: "...I mean to let you sleep and rest."
"Okay." The puppet said and closed his eyes.
Su Xiaoyuan walked over, sat beside the bed, and touched his forehead.
The puppet suddenly opened its eyes, frightening her so much that she almost slipped off the edge of the bed.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere, Fu Tingyun?" Su Xiaoyuan asked.
"A puppet won't feel uncomfortable."
"Is there anything unusual about you?"
The puppet raised his hand and pointed at his waist and abdomen: "There is a hole."
Su Xiaoyuan: "...I'll ask Immortal Mu Qing to make it up to you tomorrow. Go to sleep."
The puppet closed his eyes again.
He lay straight in the middle of the bed, but the bed was big enough for three people to sleep in, and there was plenty of space for them to sleep together.
But after the lesson just now, Su Xiaoyuan didn't dare to sleep in the same bed with him again: "You sleep well, Fu Tingyun, I will sleep in the next cabin. If you have any problems, call me or send me a message."
The puppet agreed.
Su Xiaoyuan covered him with a blanket, stood up and walked to the cabin door, then looked back uneasily.
There was definitely something wrong with her puppet. Something must have gone wrong.
Su Xiaoyuan couldn't sleep well because he had something on his mind. He woke up at dawn, got up, washed up, and controlled the wing boat to fly towards the city.
On the way, Su Xiaoyuan received a message from Mu Qingxianjun saying that he was coming to pick up the puppet. "I don't have classes this morning, so I'll take him over."
Immortal Lord Mu Qing did not insist.
When he arrived at the store, he saw that only the young immortal was there.
Su Xiaoyuan asked, "Is Sister Xiao not here?"
Mu Qing looked unhappy: "Sister went out for something and will be back in a few days."
It's all that useless old vixen's fault. She's already old but can't even handle the trivial matters of her own sect, and she has to trouble my sister to step in.
The same thing happened to my elder sister. Did she really need to personally escort two prisoners to the Immortal Alliance? Even though that old vixen was so ignorant of the heavens and the earth, all nine of her tails were raised to the sky.
Su Xiaoyuan noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked cautiously, "What about the Wing Boat? Can it be left here with the Immortal Lord?"
Mu Qing came back to his senses and forced a smile: "Sister told me to let Fairy Su use the Wing Boat. It will be more convenient for her to visit the puppets in the shop, and it won't take up much space if she puts it away."
As he spoke, he led her and the puppet through the shop and lifted the curtain. Inside was a clean little room with a bed against the wall.
"During the renovation period, Fairy Su's puppet will stay here," said Immortal Lord Mu Qing. "I'm sorry that this temporary house is a bit shabby."
"No, no, it's already great," Su Xiaoyuan said quickly, "I'm really sorry to always trouble the Immortal Lord and Sister Xiao."
Mu Qing made a few polite remarks and carefully glanced at the puppet behind her.
Although he knew that the Immortal Venerable's soul was not inside, he still felt uneasy and his back was cold. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Su Xiaoyuan said to the puppet: "Fu Tingyun, you will live here for the next few days. You must obey the Immortal Lord's orders. Do you understand?"
The puppet nodded, walked into the room, and sat down on the bed without any hesitation.
Su Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment before turning to Mu Qing and said, "I wonder if you, Immortal Lord, are available right now. Could you please check on my puppet?"
"What's wrong?" Mu Qing asked nervously.
Su Xiaoyuan lowered her head: "Since midnight yesterday, this puppet seems to be a little bit strange."
"What's wrong?"
"It's just... he seems a little dull, like he's become stupid..." Su Xiaoyuan didn't know how to describe it. "I wonder if it has something to do with his kidneys? Last night, his kidneys... seemed to have been used for a while... not a lot, just a little bit..."
Mu Qing blushed immediately and said carefully, "Puppets are different from real people after all. A small move can affect the whole body. Although the kidney is injured, it may also affect other parts of the body..."
Su Xiaoyuan felt a little panicked. It was indeed Se Se who ruined everything!
She was worried and blamed herself.
Mu Qing quickly said, "Don't worry, Fairy Su. Once the injuries are repaired, other functions will return to normal."
Su Xiaoyuan felt a little relieved: "Please, Immortal Lord, please fix him."
Mu Qing: "I will do my best. By the way, while Fairy Su's puppet is being repaired, you can take a servant puppet back with you."
"No, no, it's just a few days and there's not much housework to do. I can do it myself." Su Xiaoyuan said hurriedly.
She actually didn't like the appearance of multiple human-shaped objects in her house out of thin air. Fu Tingyun was one thing, but the other puppets were another.
Mu Qing insisted, "This servant puppet is a new product I developed. Fairy Su, try it out and you'll be doing me a favor."
This is a task that Immortal Master Ling Yue specifically assigned to him, and he must complete it even if he dies!
Seeing that he was so persistent, Su Xiaoyuan couldn't refuse and could only thank him.
Immortal Lord Mu Qing excused himself and went to the warehouse to bring out a puppet.
Su Xiaoyuan was surprised.
She had never seen a puppet that looked so abstract.
It is really abstract, abstracted into a bunch of geometric shapes, a rectangular torso, cylindrical limbs, a body-shaped pelvis and a round head. It looks just like the building blocks made by kindergarten children, except for a pair of wooden hands with detailed and realistic joints.
It's just a life-sized Lego figure.
Mu Qing said, "Don't be fooled by this puppet's unassuming appearance. It's very skilled at work. It can sweep the yard, serve tea, and even do needlework. Oh, and it can even cook 999 dishes. You can have it cook three meals a day. Fairy Su can tell it to cook whatever she wants. If you don't want to rack your brains, you can just let it do it on its own."
When Su Xiaoyuan heard this, she couldn't help but feel excited. If this puppet took care of all the housework, Fu Tingyun wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Can you sell this puppet to me, Immortal Lord?" she asked.
Mu Qing's heart trembled. Judging from his own experience, the Immortal Venerable would not want another puppet to be an eyesore in front of him, even if the puppet's head was a ball and it didn't even have any facial features.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this puppet still needs to be adjusted and improved, so it's not available for sale yet. I can only lend it to Fairy Su for a few days to try it out."
Although Su Xiaoyuan felt regretful, she still expressed her understanding.
Seeing that it was time to go back to class, she returned to Fu Tingyun's "ward" and saw that the puppet was still sitting on the bed in a daze, just as she had left. She couldn't help but feel sad. She walked over and touched his head: "Fu Tingyun, I have to go back to the sect to attend classes. Be good, I will come to see you every day."
She took his left hand and touched the ring on his ring finger: "If you miss me, just send me a message, okay?"
The puppet lowered his head and touched the ring like her, then suddenly condensed a little spiritual power at his fingertips and lit up the runes inside the ring.
Su Xiaoyuan received the summons immediately.
The puppet mechanically raised his hand, lowered his head, and said to the ring seriously, "Xiao Yuan, I miss you."
