Chapter 71 Introducing the new member of our family
After perfunctorily answering his senior brother, Fu Tingyun was about to send a message to Su Xiaoyuan, but the message came first.
"Fu Tingyun, I'm sorry. I was so deep in sleep that I didn't hear the ringtone."
fraud.
Her voice was very clear, and you could tell she hadn't just woken up, but had been awake for a while.
Just now I was worried that something had happened to her, and my heart was burning with worry, I just wanted her to respond, but now that I know she is safe, other thoughts have come to my mind.
She was clearly awake, so why didn't she answer his call? What was she doing? Was she hiding something from him? Why was she still lying to him? He regretted not leaving a trace of his consciousness on her before he left, so he could keep an eye on her at all times.
You clearly had this thought, why do you suppress it?
Since she is a liar, why should he pretend to be a gentleman?
The tip of his heart was aching intensely, as if a small insect was gnawing and eating away at his heart bit by bit.
Yes, it was the Lianli Gu. It must have also felt the other party's ruthlessness.
He pressed his chest hard and said coldly, "It's okay, I'm just worried you'll be late for class."
"Ah!" the girl exclaimed. "It's already this late! I'm really going to be late. I won't talk to you anymore, Fu Tingyun..."
As if a little apologetic, she added hastily, "I'll come to accompany you after school."
Fu Tingyun: "..."
Before he could say anything, the call was disconnected.
Su Xiaoyuan attends classes during the day, goes to see the puppets after school, and then returns home to feed the cat, snake, and snow wolf. She is very busy and happy.
At first, I felt very uncomfortable because the puppet was away, but after a few days I gradually got used to it. I would think about him when I had free time, but the feeling of anxiously looking forward to his return was relieved.
What's more, Kaishan is not around, and she has to spend most of her time worrying about her.
She observed the small pink spot on her heart every day, and it had faded so much that it was almost invisible. It turned out to be a false alarm.
The days passed peacefully, but the system unexpectedly started up again the next day.
She was about to rush to class in the morning when the system suddenly came back to life.
Unlike the advanced systems in other time-travel novels, her system not only goes into hibernation frequently, but also cuts off her senses every time she talks to it, forcing her to stop everything she is doing, which is very inconvenient.
"I'm in a hurry to go to class. Is there anything wrong?" Su Xiaoyuan asked it.
The system seemed not to hear her words: "The host's last application has a result, and the higher authorities have approved it."
Su Xiaoyuan: "Is this an application to enhance your physical fitness?"
"Yes."
Su Xiaoyuan was a little surprised. This system was giving out cheat codes on its own. When she made her request a few days ago, she didn't actually have much hope.
The system continued, "Considering that the host needs to enter the Taiyan Sect and that foundation-building cultivation is essential, the higher authorities have decided to issue the golden finger to the host in advance."
"Is it a direct upgrade?" Su Xiaoyuan didn't feel any difference.
"This time, the golden finger will be distributed in kind," the system said. "After this communication, the host will find a bottle of 'Foundation Building Pill' nearby. Take one pill daily for 30 consecutive days to establish your foundation."
"Okay." Su Xiaoyuan thought she would say goodbye to menstruation completely, but it seems she can't avoid it this month.
On second thought, the system was quite thoughtful. Given her spiritual roots, spiritual veins, and cultivation level, building a foundation overnight would indeed arouse suspicion. A gradual process of improvement, step by step, would be more credible.
"Attention, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a system item, not the property of the world. Please be sure to keep it carefully and do not expose it to others to avoid unexpected consequences." The system gave another reminder and then went offline.
After regaining her five senses, Su Xiaoyuan looked around and saw a small white porcelain bottle on the table.
She grabbed the porcelain bottle and boarded the wing boat. She pulled out the cork and found some small cinnabar red pills inside, each the size of a fingernail.
She poured one into her palm and swallowed it with water.
The pill had a strange floral fragrance, which she took with water. After drinking a glass of water, the rich floral fragrance still remained in her mouth.
However, the effect of the medicine was immediate. Before the wing boat reached the shore, she already felt her body light and could even feel the spiritual energy flowing through her body along the widened meridians.
From that day on, she took the pills for several days and felt her energy and blood were more abundant every day, and even her complexion became rosy.
…
After being separated for several days, Fu Tingyun's longing grew day by day. On the third day of torment, he found that it was impossible to endure for ten days - the puppet would return to Su Xiaoyuan in seven days.
She absolutely could not allow that dead creature to be with her for three whole days. One of those days was the Yunyu Sect's holiday. They would be together from morning till night, and there was no guarantee that he would not rebel.
Fu Tingyun made up his mind, calmed down, and used all his spiritual power to repair his soul. Finally, on the day when Su Xiaoyuan went to pick up the puppet man, he performed the soul-transferring technique.
This move was a bit risky, but fortunately, after a moment, the familiar feeling of suffocation returned.
He stood up and walked a few steps to adjust his body, then sat cross-legged on the bed and dived into the magic circle of the puppet body.
The red thread was floating idly between the pillars of the formation. He reached out to it familiarly, just like when he was practicing introspection on weekdays.
But the red thread did not wrap around him, but instead wrapped around the top of a pillar and refused to come down, as if it did not recognize him.
"Are you angry?" Fu Tingyun asked, "Or have you forgotten me?"
Naturally, he wouldn't let it go. He leaped up and flew over, extending his hand: "Come here."
Hongsi pretended not to understand.
Fu Tingyun licked his lips and said darkly, "If you don't come over, I'll eat you."
The red silk trembled a little, but still clung to the formation pillar and refused to come down.
It seems that he is really angry.
"Sorry." Fu Tingyun said.
The thread end curled up, as if condescending to listen to what he had to say.
"It was wrong of me to leave without saying goodbye."
The red silk then slowly floated over.
Fu Tingyun stretched out his hand to hold it, but it only twitched on his finger and quickly slipped away from between his fingers, looking like it could not be coaxed no matter what.
"I won't do that next time, I swear."
Hongsi remained unmoved.
Fu Tingyun hissed softly, and the red thread instantly straightened.
"My soul has been severely injured, and I'm going back to recuperate," he said, his fingers slowly approaching. "From now on, no matter where I go, I will take you with me."
As he spoke, he gently touched the thread end with his fingertips.
The red silk hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly wrapped around his finger.
He gently rubbed it with his fingertips, feeling the spider-like blood thread trembling under his hand. Only then did his heart feel a little relieved, and the restlessness of seven days of separation was slightly soothed.
But it was not enough, not to mention a drop of blood, even swallowing her whole would not be enough.
He estimated that it was almost time for her to come and pick him up, so he came out of meditation, opened his eyes, let his legs hang down, put his hands on his knees, and sat stiffly like a real puppet, waiting for his little master to come and pick him up.
But she was late.
Fu Tingyun waited for a quarter of an hour, but his patience ran out. He asked Mu Qing to return the ring and send her a message.
"I'm sorry, Fu Tingyun," the girl said breathlessly, "I had something else and left home late. I just got on the wing boat. Please wait for a while."
"What's the matter?" The puppet asked calmly.
In fact, it is two things superimposed on each other.
She was supposed to pick up Puppet after school, but her little snow wolf had been acting strangely since this morning. Normally, the little wolf would wag its tail and lick her face and palms enthusiastically when she got up, but today, it lay listlessly beside the bed, motionless, with a dry snout and hot soles of its feet, as if it had a fever.
Su Xiaoyuan quickly went to ask the senior sister who raised the spiritual pet for some spiritual liquid for the pet to drink. After class, she went back to see the pet and found that although its feet were still burning, it was in better spirits than in the morning.
Just as she was about to go out, the little wolf that was lying on the ground suddenly stood up, gently bit the corner of her skirt, and dragged her into the house.
Su Xiaoyuan turned around and saw its ice-blue eyes were watery, like a child about to cry.
Her heart softened instantly and she patted its head: "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
The snow wolf picked up the comb she usually used to comb its hair and put it in her hand.
Su Xiaoyuan could only complete the daily routine of combing her hair. The snow wolf lay on the cushion, squinting its eyes and making a comfortable "woohoo" sound.
After combing its fur and playing with its cloth ball for a while, the snow wolf let her go.
Taking care of a sick dog is a legitimate thing to do, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to say it when faced with the puppet's questioning.
"Nothing. I'll drive the boat faster and try to get here as soon as possible." She passed it off vaguely.
"Don't rush," Fu Tingyun said, "Be careful on the road."
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Fu Tingyun finally heard the sound of a golden bell outside the door, followed by familiar footsteps.
The door curtain was lifted and the girl leaned in. She was a little out of breath because she ran so fast. Her cheeks were flushed, and small beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. Her eyes looked like they had been washed by a clear spring.
With every gasp she gave, her scent grew stronger in the room, silently drowning him and soaking him like water. He was like a dead vine, wanting only to wrap around her tightly, piercing his sharp hooks into her skin, extending his ugly roots into her deepest part, greedily grabbing the scent, the juice, everything from her.
"What's wrong with you, Fu Tingyun?" Su Xiaoyuan was a little confused.
The puppet stared at her straight, its inorganic eyes darker than usual, as if they were out of focus.
There was an abnormal red at the corner of her eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat. Is this really fixed? When I came to see him yesterday, he was just a little dull, but today he seemed to have burned out his CPU.
She raised a hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Fu Tingyun?"
Before he could finish his words, his wrist was firmly grasped by the puppet.
Fu Tingyun's fingers seemed to have turned into vines, wrapping around her tighter and tighter.
I want to pull her into my arms, just like dragging her into a dark and deep cave, savoring her slowly and swallowing her bite by bite.
Su Xiaoyuan felt the puppet's large hand gripping her wrist like a red-hot iron clamp, as if it was going to crush her wrist bone. She couldn't help but scream in pain, "It hurts..."
Fu Tingyun finally came back to her senses and caught a glimpse of Mu Qing, who looked terrified, behind her.
He loosened his hand, lowered his eyes, and rubbed the red fingerprints on her slender wrist with his fingertips. His Adam's apple moved: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Su Xiaoyuan felt a little itchy from his rubbing. She withdrew her hand and rubbed it herself. "Then let's go back?"
The puppet stood up obediently.
When they reached the door of the shop, Su Xiaoyuan said, "Go wait for me on the wing boat. It's parked not far ahead. I want to have a few words with the Immortal Lord."
"Okay." Fu Tingyun glanced at Mu Qing, walked out of the store and boarded the wing boat.
He walked into the cabin and sat down. He picked up the half cup of cold tea left by Su Xiaoyuan on the table and drank it, pinching his eyebrows.
He had already made up his mind that as a puppet he would keep a distance from Su Xiaoyuan, but he almost broke down at the first sight of her when they met again. Could he really hold on for two months if he continued like this?
Su Xiaoyuan looked at the puppet's back with worry, and asked Mu Qing in a low voice, "My Lord, is he considered fully recovered now?"
Mu Qing has been painting the Immortal Master's body every day recently, and blisters have appeared in his mouth.
He smiled somewhat numbly: "Don't worry, Fairy Su, there will be no problem with the puppet's new kidney."
Su Xiaoyuan: "It's not a kidney problem... He looked a little strange just now..."
Mu Qing kept smiling: "Oh, I forgot to tell Fairy Su that the kidney is new after all, and it is not the same set as the original puppet body. It may take some time to adapt."
Su Xiaoyuan became even more worried: "Will there be any problems?"
Mu Qing said unconscionably, "The kidneys that Fairy Su's puppet has been given are stronger than the original ones. This may cause the puppet's temperament to change, making it more agitated and excited. This is normal. Fairy Su, don't worry."
Su Xiaoyuan: "Oh, I see."
The puppet's behavior just now was probably a side effect of the kidney transplant.
"How long will it take for things to return to normal?" she asked.
Mu Qing put himself in their shoes and thought: "At the shortest, it could be one or two months, at the longest, it could be a year or two."
Su Xiaoyuan bid farewell to Immortal Lord Mu Qing and boarded the wing boat nervously, and saw the puppet leaning on the railing.
He heard the noise and turned to look at her with a cold expression, as if to say, "Keep away from strangers."
Su Xiaoyuan thought the hot and cold sensation was just due to the new kidney and didn't take it seriously. She walked towards him and asked, "Why don't you go inside the cabin?"
Fu Tingyun calmly took two steps back, keeping his distance from her. His voice was muffled, as if he was suppressing something: "It's stuffy inside."
Su Xiaoyuan leaned against the railing and looked at him sideways. The setting sun gilded his body, making him look like a statue of a god.
Somehow, the puppet's temperament seemed to have changed today. The cute feeling faded, and it became closer to the way it was before it was injured, cold, arrogant, and proud, like a noble wolf king.
Su Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of the snow wolf at home and her heart skipped a beat.
"By the way, Fu Tingyun, there's something I haven't told you yet..."
Fu Tingyun rolled his eyes: "What's the matter?"
"I have a new pet," Su Xiaoyuan decided to keep it a secret. "You'll be able to see it when you get back. It's very cute."
Fu Tingyun said "hmm" absentmindedly.
There seemed to be an invisible vortex around Su Xiaoyuan. He was at the edge of the vortex and was struggling to resist with all his heart and soul. If he relaxed even a little, he would be swallowed up, lose all his sanity, and his plan would be ruined.
It's too difficult.
His eyes accidentally swept across her plump lips, and slid a few inches towards the center of the vortex.
This is impossible to do.
Under the triple influence of the poisonous insect, lust, and blood pact, he couldn't control himself at all. As soon as he got close to Su Xiaoyuan, his lust started to grow wildly. It was so difficult for him to endure until the wing boat landed, let alone two months?
Immortal Master Ling Yue is not a stubborn person. Since this road is blocked, he will try another one.
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
The puppet is a dead object, rude, crude, reckless and does whatever he wants. He only needs to act like a real puppet. When he returns to his original body and becomes a self-disciplined, polite and gentle gentleman, the difference between them will naturally be apparent.
Once she accepts him, he can slowly reveal his true nature, or even pretend for the rest of his life, as long as she likes it.
When the wing boat landed in front of the courtyard, he already had a complete plan.
Thinking of what was about to happen, his chest swelled and he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his puppet core seemed to be bursting with joy.
Pushing open the gate, the small courtyard in the twilight seemed even smaller than he remembered.
But compared to the cold and gloomy Wuji Palace, this small courtyard and humble room feel more like home.
Their home.
"Welcome home," Su Xiaoyuan jumped and opened the door before him, "Let me introduce you to our new member, Fu..."
Before she could finish her words, her eyes widened in surprise.
The snow wolf that was originally lying down disappeared, and a beautiful boy was sitting on the mat.
The boy's skin was as white as snow, his hair reached his shoulders like silver, two snow-white wolf ears stood upright in his hair, and a furry wolf tail was dragging behind him.
As soon as she entered the house, joy burst out in the boy's ignorant ice-blue eyes. He jumped up, got on all fours and wagged his tail.
Most importantly, the boy was not wearing any clothes.
Su Xiaoyuan: "Second generation..."
