Chapter 497 The Flutter in My Heart
The moment a cultivator breaks through the Illusionary Spirit Space, the Illusionary Spirit Fox will shed tears, usually one tear from each eye.
If you make eye contact with the other person while collecting their tears, you are likely to fall into their next illusion. The new illusion is much stronger than the first one, and the possibility of developing inner demons is also greater. Therefore, cultivators usually only collect two tears from a fox.
Yu Yan never expected that she would see Feng Su from when he was a child again.
The ten-year-old boy had no scars on his face; it was clearly a scene from a book.
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow, surprised that this fox was quite capable, able to glean so much from her sea of consciousness.
"Disciple greets Master."
The boy's clear voice reached my ears.
This time, Yu Yan didn't act as an observer, but truly became the character she was in the book.
After Feng Su finished speaking, he looked up at her, his phoenix eyes filled with affection and admiration.
Yu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she reached out her hand to the boy.
"Get up."
The moment the other person's small hand was placed in her palm, the boy's originally small figure instantly grew up, and the scene changed to her holding his wrist and demonstrating swordsmanship to him.
A cool sensation came from where their skin touched, and Yu Yan's fingertips trembled. She immediately let go of his hand.
"Master?" Feng Su turned his head in confusion.
Even as the two were extremely close, the man's features became clearly visible to her the moment he turned his head to the side.
Her cheeks were like a gentle breeze brushing past her back; the breeze seemed to like her very much, lingering affectionately for a moment before nuzzling her.
The next moment, Yu Yan saw Feng Su holding a peach petal in his hand, and he smiled, "A petal fell on Master's face."
"What are you doing!" Despite the other person's gentle smile, Yu Yan pushed them away.
Feng Su seemed not to have expected his master to push him away.
The man looked bewildered, his narrow eyes filled with hurt.
"What's wrong with Master?" he asked, moving closer, his brows furrowed slightly.
It was as if she had no idea why she had been pushed away.
Yu Yan took a step back, and a flood of memories rushed into her mind.
Those are details about her relationship with her apprentice that are not mentioned in the book.
They would practice face-to-face on the same bed. When they were tired, the disciple would rest his head on her lap and ask her if she would take on other disciples.
She said no.
They would bathe together at opposite ends of the same hot spring, separated by a white mist that almost completely blocked their view. He asked her if he could swim to her side.
She laughed and joked that it was okay.
When the other person proved to be bold enough to actually come to her side, she was furious and immediately pushed him away. However, she lost control of her strength and injured him.
They would go shopping together during festivals in the mortal world. He bought two masks, saying he didn't want to be constantly bothered by the gazes of those people.
When the other person looked at her with those phoenix eyes, Yu Yan only wanted to reach out and touch them, to touch his eyelashes, to touch herself reflected in his eyes.
This was, of course, her first time taking on a disciple, and she was unaware that the distance between them had already surpassed that of a typical master and disciple.
That day, he returned from the secret realm severely injured. Even as he was unconscious, he didn't forget to stuff the peach tree seed he had found in the secret realm into her hand. Yu Yan felt her heart clench violently, and the ensuing palpitations left her at a loss.
She realized that she had fallen in love with her apprentice, but he clearly only saw her as an elder. It was her fault for teaching him that he had no idea what the proper distance between master and apprentice should be.
