Chapter 69 69 “Are you trying to sell me your former master?
The girl's voice flowed into Fu Tingyun's body like a trickle of stream, soaking his dry meridians and easily breaking down the dam in his heart.
The breathing and heartbeat that had been adjusted with great difficulty were instantly disordered.
He was like a man who was extremely thirsty and finally found a spring of sweet water. He wanted to dive into it and drink it all, but he was afraid that he would drink it all in a few gulps, so he could only sip it cautiously.
"You missed me so soon?" she asked.
Fu Tingyun knew that he missed her, but it was not until he heard her voice at this moment that he realized how much he missed her.
"Yes," he admitted frankly, his heart aching from thinking about it, but even this pain seemed like a blessing.
Su Xiaoyuan chuckled twice: "Why are you so clingy? I've only been gone for a short time."
Fu Tingyun felt his heart trembling with her laughter, the lingering sound lasting.
"It's been too long," he said. "I miss Xiao Yuan as soon as we're apart."
Su Xiaoyuan's ears felt inexplicably hot.
Fu Tingyun, who was talking to her on the phone, felt a little different. He was clearly dazed when they met just now, but now he gave her the illusion that he was flirting with her.
It must be an illusion, right?
She calmed herself down and said briskly, "I miss you, too."
"Where is Xiaoyuan?" asked the puppet.
"At home."
"One person?" the puppet asked again.
"Are you checking on me, Fu Tingyun?" Su Xiaoyuan asked half-jokingly.
The puppet did not answer, but waited for her answer in silence.
"Of course it's just one person."
Fu Tingyun: "Is Xiaoyuan sitting or lying down?"
"Well... of course I'm sitting down. I just finished my meal." Su Xiaoyuan told a harmless little lie, because this puppet was surprisingly particular about health preservation. He didn't allow her to drink ice water or lie down right after eating.
Liar.
Fu Tingyun immediately heard the hesitation in her voice, and the tone of her voice was slightly different when she was lying down, with a lazy nasal sound, and sometimes a slight tremor, which was due to her legs being stretched out of the bed and swinging back and forth.
And he must be too cool to wear socks.
He didn't expose her, but just said, "It's cold at night, cover yourself with the quilt."
"Uh-huh, what about you? What are you doing now? Lying down or sitting?"
"Lie down and think about Xiao Yuan."
"Alright, alright," Su Xiaoyuan rubbed her ears and begged, "I'll be back in six days. Take good care of yourself. I'll come see you after school tomorrow."
"No, don't come."
"Why?" Su Xiaoyuan was surprised, "Don't you miss me?"
Fu Tingyun blurted out the words, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't want Xiaoyuan to be tired."
"I won't be tired. I took Sister Xiao's wing boat and will be here soon."
Fu Tingyun couldn't find any excuse to stop her, so he could only say "Okay".
Su Xiaoyuan heard his reluctance: "Are you unhappy?"
"I want it even more after meeting Xiao Yuan."
Su Xiaoyuan's heart softened. "Tomorrow afternoon, I have fewer classes and will finish school early, so I'll stay with you for a while. Oh, and I can take some good food and wine from the restaurant and eat together in the restaurant. I can also invite Immortal Mu Qing to come along. I'd be embarrassed if he helped me so much."
Fu Tingyun: "..."
"Is there anything you want to eat, Fu Tingyun?" Su Xiaoyuan asked. "By the way, didn't you like the puff pastry last time?"
When Fu Tingyun heard the name of the pastry, he couldn't help but feel distracted and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Su Xiaoyuan heard the sound of him swallowing and said with a smile, "Are you greedy? I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow."
"No," Fu Tingyun said sternly, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't eat."
"I'm sorry," Su Xiaoyuan lowered her voice, "I thought eating a little wouldn't have any effect... Then I'll treat you to a meal after you've fully recovered."
"Okay." Fu Tingyun agreed immediately, and he came back at that time.
The two were speechless for a moment, and Su Xiaoyuan said, "Then you..."
Fu Tingyun heard that she meant to end the call, and hurriedly asked, "What did Xiaoyuan do today?"
Su Xiaoyuan didn't expect the puppet to bring up the topic. After a pause, she replied, "I had classes all day today... Oh, and I also met Patriarch Xie, the founder of the family. I was a little scared at first, but she was very nice and gave me a really nice gift..."
When she said this, she touched the sleepy little snow wolf lying on the bed with her bare feet.
The snow wolf was woken up by her, changed its position, and suddenly stretched out its tongue to lick the soles of her feet.
Su Xiaoyuan felt an itch on the sole of her foot, and she screamed "Ah" and quickly retracted her foot.
"What's wrong?" Fu Tingyun asked vigilantly.
"Nothing... I just seemed to see a bug crawling over... Maybe I'm dazzled, haha..." Su Xiaoyuan sat up, covered the wolf's mouth with one hand, and made a gesture of silence to it with the other hand.
This was almost a subconscious action. Perhaps it was something in the puppet's voice that made her feel that it would be better not to let him know about raising a new dog for the time being.
The puppet did not continue to ask.
Su Xiaoyuan changed the subject: "By the way, I met Song Jinshu today. He wasn't a puppet, he was the real person..."
She chattered for a while, then felt a little thirsty, so she got up and poured herself a glass of water.
Fu Tingyun could hear her "gulp" swallowing sound in his ears, and his throat felt so thirsty that it was about to burn. He wished he could move thousands of miles away in an instant to snatch the sweetness from her mouth.
Su Xiaoyuan knew nothing and only felt that the puppet was silent for a long time.
"Is it boring for me to tell you this?" she asked.
"No," the puppet said, "It's very interesting to listen to Xiao Yuan talk."
The puppet doesn't know what is interesting, just like an advanced AI, it just follows what humans say, but Su Xiaoyuan still has the illusion of talking to a living person.
Could it be that the kidneys have been repaired somewhat and intelligence has begun to recover?
"Oh, right," Su Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered something, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. I need to send a message to Senior Brother Xiahou."
I was going to summon Brother Xiahou yesterday to ask about his situation, but one thing led to another and I forgot about him.
Fu Tingyun felt like a basin of ice water was poured over his head: "You don't want to talk to me."
The tone used was certain.
The unhappiness in the voice was too obvious, and no matter how insensitive Su Xiaoyuan was, she couldn't ignore it.
She patiently explained, "Ever since the incident at the Parade of the Gods, I haven't asked about Senior Brother Xiahou's condition. He fainted on the boat that day, so I should have asked him about it no matter what."
"He can wait." said the puppet.
Su Xiaoyuan seemed to see him raising his chin proudly.
Even more like an unruly wolf than Fu Erdai.
She stroked his fur expertly: "Senior Brother Xiahou is an outsider, so it would be inconvenient to come any later. Wait for me to say hello and then send you a message, okay, Fu Tingyun?"
Fu Tingyun felt a little relieved, but he knew in his heart that she was just trying to coax him. He didn't want to be coaxed so quickly, and he was even more angry that she was willing to spend so much effort to coax a puppet.
"I have my own things to do and can't wait for you all the time."
"Oh?" Su Xiaoyuan suppressed her laughter. "What are you busy with? Tell me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the puppet disconnected the communication.
Still so funny.
Su Xiaoyuan lay on the bed and laughed for a while, then drank a glass of water before sending a message to Xiahou Che.
However, Xiahou Che, who almost always answered the message immediately, did not respond today.
Su Xiaoyuan was a little uneasy, but she felt slightly relieved when she thought about the plot in the original book where he would make a comeback and get slapped in the face.
She put down the communication mirror and used the ring to communicate with the puppet.
The puppet answered the call almost immediately, but remained silent.
Su Xiaoyuan heard his tense breathing and found it a little funny. She couldn't help but tease him: "You answered it right away. Have you been waiting for me?"
"No," Fu Tingyun said coldly, "What's the matter?"
"You're not waiting for me," Su Xiaoyuan pretended to be disappointed. "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm busy now."
"What are you busy with?"
"I have a lot to do. Drawing, crafts, reviewing homework... Anyway, if you don't want to chat with me, then I'm hanging up."
"no."
"Not what?"
"It's not that I don't want to chat." Fu Tingyun admitted.
"Then you chat." Su Xiaoyuan was a little proud and crossed her legs.
"If you want to know about the real person Fu Tingyun, you can ask me."
Su Xiaoyuan's mood suddenly plummeted, just like a student who had been playing around but was suddenly reminded that he was about to take a big exam.
"Didn't we agree not to mention him..." she muttered.
Fu Tingyun glanced at the red silk in his hand. On it were written clearly in gold letters on a red background: [This believer only wishes to sleep with the Immortal Lord Ling Yue]. He had asked about it today, so why was he so resistant when it was mentioned now?
Fu Tingyun refused to let her go and asked aggressively, "Could it be that Xiao Yuan has changed her target and doesn't want to take essence from him anymore?"
The tone was almost questioning, and Su Xiaoyuan couldn't help but wonder, hadn't he spoken ill of his former master today? Now he was acting so loyal and protective of his master?
As the new owner, she couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"It's not that I don't want to, but he can't pick it for me." Su Xiaoyuan said.
"not necessarily."
"Ah?" Su Xiaoyuan was surprised. "That's not what you said before. Why did you change again?"
Fu Tingyun was silent for a moment: "I can help you. No one knows him better than me."
Su Xiaoyuan expressed her doubts. If he was so powerful, she would not have been abandoned by Fu Tingyun.
But of course she wouldn't say such hurtful words.
"Okay, thank you, Fu Tingyun."
Fu Tingyun could tell she was being perfunctory, but he still said, "Anything you want to know about him, you can ask me."
He understood one thing in the past two days. To Su Xiaoyuan, the puppet is a puppet and Fu Tingyun is Fu Tingyun. They are two different existences.
Although it was an obvious fact, he did not realize it when he was in the puppet's body. At that time, he never thought it was a problem. He took it for granted that since the souls were the same, her liking the puppet was the same as liking him.
But now he knew that things were not that simple. For Su Xiaoyuan, falling in love with the puppet Fu Tingyun might be much easier than falling in love with the real person.
Because the puppet belongs to her, it is a poor little thing that was ruthlessly abandoned and then picked up by her, while Ling Yue Xianzun is a superior, cold and ruthless stranger.
Not only did he abandon her beloved little puppet, but he was also the target that she had to take the risk to obtain for some reason.
Who would like to take on a difficult and dangerous task?
As a puppet, the closer he is to her, the more she will hate, reject and resist him.
While she was sending a message to Xiahou Che, Ling Yue Xianzun calmly reviewed the situation and finally realized that he was trapped in his own web.
Of course he would not sit still and wait for death, so for the rest of the time, as a puppet, he had to keep a distance from Su Xiaoyuan, and at the same time, he had to quietly and unnoticeably reverse the image of his real body in Su Xiaoyuan's mind.
Although Su Xiaoyuan didn't quite believe that the puppet could really help her, she still cheered up. After all, it would be good to know more information about the target.
"Wait a moment..." She got off the bed, sat at the desk, took out a notebook and charcoal pencil, sat upright, and took a serious attitude towards study.
"I'm ready. Tell me," Su Xiaoyuan said, "What kind of person is Immortal Venerable Ling Yue?"
Fu Tingyun was stunned by the question.
He could easily tell what kind of person Su Xiaoyuan was. She was innocent, kind, soft-hearted, and protective. She was a little timid at ordinary times, but she was loyal and would stand up for her friends and people around her.
She loves drawing and is very skillful with her hands. She enjoys tinkering with all sorts of small things. Her favorite dish is stir-fried pork with lili mushrooms, and her favorite snack is salty, sweet, and milky. She prefers trees to flowers, her favorite color is the green of winter pine needles, her favorite season is autumn, and her favorite fruit is oranges...
But what kind of person is he? Fu Tingyun couldn't say.
He is pale, boring, and indifferent to everything in the world. He practices the way of ruthlessness only because he is naturally indifferent to the seven emotions. He has practiced sword since he was a child because he has a natural talent for swordsmanship, but it can't be said that he likes it.
He looked at his reflection in the ice mirror. He seemed like an empty shell made up of fame, status and wealth.
Apart from the heart in his chest that beats for her, how different is he from a puppet?
"Fu Tingyun?" the girl called softly, "If you really can't think of anything, forget it."
Fu Tingyun came back to his senses and glanced at the shadow in his glasses: "He is about the same height as me, and has a nice face."
Now is not the time to be modest, this is the only thing he can show off.
He added, "It's more than good. The figure is well-proportioned, the chest and abdomen are well-defined, and the waist is thin and firm. You will definitely like it."
Su Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing: "Are you trying to sell your former master to me? Whether I like him or not is not the point. Does that mean he'll let me pick it just because I like him?"
"Yes." Fu Tingyun said firmly.
Su Xiaoyuan puffed out her cheeks, feeling somewhat touched: "You really have confidence in me, Fu Tingyun!"
"I'm serious," Fu Tingyun said, "He will definitely like you."
It's more than just liking him, but you may not like him.
Su Xiaoyuan yawned and said, "I'm a little sleepy, Fu Tingyun. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. I'll hang up first."
"Wait." Fu Tingyun blurted out.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Su Xiaoyuan asked in surprise.
"No," Fu Tingyun said, "I'll call you to wake you up tomorrow."
Actually, there is a housekeeping robot that can wake her up, but Su Xiaoyuan still said sweetly: "You are the best."
"It's just a piece of cake." said the puppet.
He added, "Master Fu Tingyun would do the same."
Su Xiaoyuan was amused by him: "Then I will become a legend in the three realms."
The next morning, Fu Tingyun calculated the time and was about to send a message to wake Su Xiaoyuan up when he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from outside the hall.
"Nephew Lin Wan, under the order of Master, has come to deliver medicine to Junior Uncle."
Almost at the same time, Su Xiaoyuan, who was thousands of miles away, was awakened by the sound of "ding-ding-dang-dang".
She opened her eyes blankly and was stunned for a while before she remembered that it was not the ringtone for the message.
Then she heard an electronic voice that she had almost forgotten: "Host..."
