Chapter 98 98 "Fu Tingyun, please light the lamp..."
Most of the secret realms have not been concluded yet, and the photo stones have not been recovered. After evaluating the secret realm where Su Xiaoyuan was located in advance, Fu Tingyun left the Feiwen Palace of the senior sister.
As soon as he left the palace gate, Xiao Wuxin's shadow caught up with him: "Junior Brother, you have met Sister Xiaoyuan in your true form, right? Did everything go well?"
Fu Tingyun glanced at his senior sister and said expressionlessly, "It's okay."
Still pretending, Xiao Wuxin thought to herself, others might not be able to see it, but she had been in contact with her junior brother more in recent months, and even that icy face could be divided into many levels such as slightly icy, less icy, very icy, and extra icy.
When I saw his expression today, I knew that his real body must have suffered a setback at the hands of Xiaoyuan.
"That's good," she said cautiously, "If there's anything Senior Sister can help with..."
Fu Tingyun pursed his lips. This Third Senior Sister was always idle, but it had to be said that she was indeed gifted and accomplished in certain areas...
He simply said, "She's a little afraid of me."
"So..." Xiao Wuxin frowned and stroked his chin, thinking that if he wasn't afraid, then something bad would happen.
Of course, she couldn't say this to his face. She chose her words carefully, "Are you being a little serious, Junior Brother?"
Fu Tingyun: "I was laughing the whole time."
"That's strange," Xiao Wuxin thought. "How did Junior Brother laugh? Would you mind smiling for me?"
Fu Tingyun curved the corners of his mouth into a perfect arc.
Xiao Wuxin: Hiss.
Fu Tingyun stopped laughing and asked, "What's wrong?"
This smile was learned from Xiahou Che. When Xiaoyuan first met that boy, he smiled like this. At that time, he saw her blushing with shyness. For some reason, it didn't work on him.
Xiao Wuxin had already learned from his senior sister what happened on Dragon Ridge Peak yesterday. One foot he stabbed his nephew to pieces in front of others, and the next foot he smiled at people like this. It was only because Xiao Yuan was strong that she didn't scare people to death.
Of course, she couldn't say this directly. She could only say it tactfully, "It's not that I'm wrong, but too much is as bad as too little. Although Xiaoyuan is already one of our own in my eyes, it's inevitable that Xiaoyuan will overthink it when you, a powerful swordsman, suddenly show such attentiveness to a stranger like her for no apparent reason... Junior brother, you should take it slow and don't rush things."
"How can we proceed step by step?"
"Uh... Junior Brother, treat Xiao Yuan the same way you treat strangers?"
There was a silence.
Xiao Wuxin also realized how his junior brother treated strangers, and said, "Of course, you can't really treat Xiaoyuan as a stranger. It's okay to be a little cold at first. With more interactions, you can gradually get familiar with each other, let Xiaoyuan let down her guard, and get to know you."
If she knew what kind of person he was, she would probably run even further, Fu Tingyun thought.
However, Third Senior Sister's idea is not without reason. Being too attentive without any reason will indeed scare her. She should be more cold next time they meet.
The third sister spared no effort in offering advice and suggestions, teaching him how to create encounters, how to approach girls step by step and quietly, and how to please girls with small things.
Although Fu Tingyun's attitude was indifferent, he secretly kept it in mind.
The Third Senior Sister's shadow spoke for a long time, until even her true form felt dry-mouthed. Finally, she concluded, "If there's anything Junior Brother you're unsure about, feel free to ask me. If all else fails, you can ask Yunmeng for help. After all, he's Xiaoyuan's master, so his words are certainly valuable."
Fu Tingyun thanked him, and Xiao Wuxin's shadow disappeared.
As expected, a bystander sees more clearly. He was indeed too reckless the first time. With the guidance of the third senior sister, he will never make the same mistake again next time.
…
Two days later, Ruan Mianmian left the secret realm early and returned to the wing boat.
Su Xiaoyuan rushed to her cabin after receiving the message and found her pale, sweating, sitting on the bed and gasping for breath. Although there were no visible marks on her body, she had obviously suffered in the secret realm.
Su Xiaoyuan had never seen her best friend, who was in good health, in such a bad state. She was shocked and took out a bunch of high-quality Qi-invigorating pills and spirit-tonifying pills for her to take, and then made her lie down.
Ruan Mianmian took the medicine and lay down to rest for a while before her face regained some color.
Su Xiaoyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked her what happened in the secret realm.
Ruan Mianmian was still frightened. She stared blankly at the ceiling of the tent and swallowed her saliva: "I blew myself up in the secret realm."
Su Xiaoyuan almost jumped up when she heard this. She heard from Kaishan that they, the physical cultivators, had an ultimate trick that allowed them to die together with the enemy. They used their well-tempered bodies as weapons and could instantly release a killing power that was dozens of times greater than their cultivation level, comparable to a small nuclear weapon.
Not to mention how painful it is to die from an explosion, even in a secret realm, the feeling of meridians bursting and bones being shattered is almost the same as in reality.
Su Xiaoyuan's eyes immediately became wet, and she felt both distressed and guilty: "It's okay if you can't pass the trial, there's no need to fight so hard... You did it all to accompany me..."
"What are you talking about, Xiao Yuanzi," Ruan Mianmian pinched her face, "How can you say it's for you? I also want to enter Taiyan, especially Longji Peak. If I can learn a few moves from Lingyue Immortal Venerable, it will be of great benefit to my cultivation."
After a pause, he said, "But there's no chance this time. I can only wait for you to get him and let my brother-in-law give me some special treatment."
Su Xiaoyuan was amused by her and burst out laughing, but then she thought of her "brother-in-law" and the smile on her face disappeared.
"What's wrong with you, Xiao Yuanzi?" Her best friend noticed that something was wrong with her.
Su Xiaoyuan shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay. What happened to you in the secret realm?"
Ruan Mianmian simply repeated it.
In the secret realm she entered, there was a mortal village besieged by monsters. Several of her companions had a disagreement on whether to rescue the people or not, because the enemy outnumbered them. If they went to rescue the people, they would inevitably expose themselves and would probably be wiped out.
Five out of seven agreed to use the villagers as bait, drugging their wine and then attacking them when they were full and satisfied.
However, Ruan Mianmian and another fellow swordsman in the Jindan stage thought that they should take the risk to save people. The two sides could not convince each other and finally parted ways. Ruan Mianmian and the fellow went to rescue people together, but they were naturally outnumbered. The fellow was killed by a monster first, and then Ruan Mianmian led the monster into an uninhabited valley, where it exploded and died with them.
"Fortunately, the village was saved," Ruan Mianmian said. "Actually, those people had their reasons. After all, this is a secret realm, and those villagers aren't real people. But I always feel that if I saw those mortals being killed in a fake secret realm, would I be so careless about human life if I were faced with a life-or-death situation in real life?"
After a pause, he said, "I think if we don't save people, something will be lost in that secret place."
Su Xiaoyuan understood her feelings very well: "I understand Kaishan, I understand."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yuanzi, I can't go into Taiyan with you, so I have to open a shop at the foot of the mountain to accompany you."
Su Xiaoyuan: "I may not be able to pass it either. We can open a shop together when the time comes."
Although they had achieved the goal of "survival" by accident due to the premature collapse of the secret realm, Sect Master Shen also said that day that whether they could pass the trial would depend on their specific performance in the secret realm.
Could she, a pendant without a foundation, be considered a good performer? Her only bright spot might be spotting the problem with the formation, but she didn't think such a small advantage could impress a group of bigwigs.
Anyway, the trial is over, now all we have to do is wait for the result.
The list of candidates for the trial will not be announced until all secret realms are completed and the sect master and the masters of the major peaks have jointly evaluated and graded them. It will take at least ten days to half a month for the results to be released.
Su Xiaoyuan suddenly had some free time and began to review the basics of cultivating immortals - she had practiced in the Yunyu Sect for a year but her academic performance was seriously imbalanced. If she really entered Taiyan, she would have to learn a lot of things on the spot.
Fortunately, she has an all-powerful puppet who is not only skilled in swordsmanship but also has a comprehensive knowledge base. Whenever she encounters something she doesn't understand and asks him, he can almost always solve it.
When she was tired of studying, she and her bestie would stroll around Taiyan, observing the business models and looking for shops.
There are usually towns around the big sects in the Immortal Realm. Tai Yan is the largest sect, and the scale of the surrounding towns is naturally not comparable to that of the Yunyu Sect. You can only fly around half a circle in a day on a wing boat.
Sometimes, instead of getting off the boat, we just find a place with beautiful scenery and few people to anchor, set up a painter, take out the painting tools and sketch, and we can spend a whole day there.
Except for the occasional feeling of panic when I think of Immortal Master Ling Yue, I can be said to be comfortable at other times.
There was another thing that was difficult to talk about. Su Xiaoyuan couldn't tell anyone, not even her best friend.
Recently, her puppet has become unusually clingy at night. Ever since she tried a new trick that day, it seemed as if the door to a new world had opened. He would pester her once or twice almost every night, under the pretext of helping her sleep.
After all, she had studied in the Yunyu Sect for a year. Although she still felt ashamed, she had learned to treat normal physical enjoyment with a normal mind. She really enjoyed it, but every time she used a new way, she couldn't help but think of Fu Shiyu.
Even though she knew that it was her puppet, the face of the spirit in her dream always appeared in her mind.
She originally wanted to keep this brief encounter with Jing Ling as a precious and beautiful friendship deep in her heart, but the fact was that this beautiful friendship would be dragged out and whipped every night.
Later, she even suspected that she had already cheated on her mind. Otherwise, why would she have had such a dream in the secret realm? At that time, she and the puppet had never done such a thing!
But the torment and pulling seemed to add an extra layer of mental stimulation. The puppet seemed to take her strong reaction as encouragement and worked even harder.
Su Xiaoyuan collapsed once that night. The puppet continued to do so without satisfaction. Finally, she could no longer bear the torment in her heart: "Fu Tingyun, please light the lamp..."
Fu Tingyun paused, his lips and tongue still pressed against hers, and asked muffledly, "Why?"
Su Xiaoyuan was shy and never turned on the light at such times, which made it easier for him to act.
She wasn't bold enough to make such a request, and her preferences were all discovered by him bit by bit through trial and error.
"I... I just want to look at you..." The girl said this as if she had used up all her courage.
Fu Tingyun knew without even looking that her cheeks must be as red as the red clouds they had watched together on the deck this evening.
He slowly pulled out his tongue, then suddenly turned her over, lifted her up by the waist, and while stroking her pubic area, he began to peck and kiss her from her tailbone down her entire spine. He slowly brushed her long hair aside, then whispered in her ear, "Xiao Yuan, do you want to see? Turning on the lights is boring. How about I put water mirrors around the bed and on the top of the tent?"
Su Xiaoyuan was so frightened that she didn't even notice the abnormality in his voice. She just kept shaking her head: "No, no, let's just leave it at that..."
She didn't know where a puppet like him learned all those messy things, but considering that the puppet's knowledge base was all-encompassing, maybe Hehuan had a more comprehensive grasp of knowledge than her.
Fu Tingyun stepped back contentedly and enjoyed his candy from a new angle.
He knew more than one spell to change his appearance and voice, but he was reluctant to use it. It was already stuffy enough to have to wear a puppet body during the day, and at least he didn't want to face her with a mask at night.
Because he was afraid that she would hurt her knees, he only tasted her lightly and then turned her over to continue serving her.
Su Xiaoyuan was frightened by him once and never dared to mention lighting the lamp again, for fear of providing more inspiration to the puppet man.
Half a month passed like this, and finally the day of the trial results announcement arrived.
Su Xiaoyuan got up early and arrived at the wall of Taiyan Mountain with her best friend more than an hour in advance.
But they were still late. The place was already crowded with people, and some people even brought small stools to queue up overnight.
As everyone was waiting, two Taiyan cranes flew to the door carrying a huge scroll.
The scroll unfolded in the air, and hundreds of names flashed with golden light in the air.
Because it was just a shortlisted exam, the names on the list were not arranged by rank, but by the number of strokes in the surnames. Both of their surnames had many strokes, so we started looking from the end of the list.
Ruan Mianmian was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, with exceptional eyesight. Su Xiaoyuan was still blinking and searching slowly when she saw her bestie's name: "Xiao Yuanzi, you passed! You passed!"
Before Su Xiaoyuan could react, she burst out in surprise: "I passed too? Did I see it right?"
Su Xiaoyuan searched for a while and finally found her best friend's name: "You're not mistaken, it's really true!"
Ruan Mianmian: "Are we going to enter Taiyan together?!"
Su Xiaoyuan glanced at everyone around and saw that they were all looking at them. She felt embarrassed. "We only passed the preliminary exam. We have to pass the final exam to enter Taiyan..."
"Whatever," my bestie said, completely unresponsive. "Let's go find a nice place to have a good meal and celebrate!"
Just as the two were about to leave, Ruan Mianmian suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right, let me look for the name of that fellow swordsman... Since I passed, maybe she can too."
Su Xiaoyuan accompanied her to look for him: "What's the name of that fellow Taoist?"
"Yu Yingchun." Ruan Mianmian said.
Before she finished speaking, a hand patted Ruan Mianmian's shoulder: "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I hope you are well."
He was a tall and heroic monk, estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall, with a large sword slung across his back.
Ruan Mianmian turned around in surprise: "Friend Yu, I'm looking for your name!"
"No need to look for us, we are all on the list," Yu Yingchun looked at Su Xiaoyuan, "This fellow Taoist is..."
Ruan Mianmian pulled Su Xiaoyuan closer to her, her face full of pride: "This is the little Yuanzi I talk about every day. She has also passed the test."
Yu Yingchun smiled and saluted: "So this is Fellow Daoist Su, I have heard of you for a long time."
Su Xiaoyuan returned the gift embarrassedly.
Ruan Mianmian was very excited: "Xiao Yuanzi and I are discussing finding a place to have a good meal to celebrate. Fellow Daoist Yu, would you like to come with us?"
Yu Yingchun said readily, "Then I will be very honored to refuse. I will go to the guesthouse to place my gifts first, and then I will thank you and send you a message after you have chosen a place."
After the three of them parted, Ruan Mianmian looked at her best friend and found that she had a strange expression on her face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yuanzi? Are you jealous?" Ruan Mianmian said quickly, "Don't worry, although Fellow Daoist Yu and I are on good terms, in my heart, no one can surpass you..."
"What are you thinking about!" Su Xiaoyuan sighed, "Didn't you notice that Fellow Daoist Yu..."
Ruan Mianmian wondered: "What did you find?"
Su Xiaoyuan was a little distressed because Kaishan was even slower than her in some aspects.
But as her best friend, it’s better to tell her the truth.
She took a deep breath and covered her ears with her fingers in advance: "Didn't you realize that Fellow Daoist Yu is a man?"
"What?!" Ruan Mianmian yelled.
