The years in the human world are short, and the changes of the four seasons are the most vivid. From spring to summer, the sun is getting hotter day by day.

Yu Yi leaned on the window of the carriage, and stretched her hand out of the window. The white back of her hand kept drawing the mottled light and shadows of the leaves. The wind that penetrated the carriage had a burning smell, and the sound of cicadas echoed all around, like a noisy symphony.

"When I was a kid, my family's conditions were not very good. We didn't have air conditioning and the fan was broken. On such hot days, we couldn't sleep at night. My sister and I could only take turns to fan each other, each fanning for half an hour, so that the other could sleep peacefully for a while."

Xue Chenjing fanned her and sent the cool air from the ice box on the table to her while listening to her talk about her past. He had mastered many words that he had never mastered before, and knew what air conditioning was and what fans were. He

also knew that in her world, there were no fairies or demons, people had freedom of belief and lived freely, and it was a much better place than this world.

Yu Yi laughed when she said this, "But I often played tricks at that time, and fell asleep while fanning myself. When I woke up from the heat, it was my sister's turn to fan me. My sister was so angry that she beat me. Our fight woke up the whole family. In the end, my mother took a fan in one hand and fanned us." @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

Yu Yi rarely thought about her past. Everything in the past hurt her even if she touched it. Later, she practiced the Heart Sword, and these memories became the source of her Heart Sword's power. She learned not to avoid it anymore, but to face her thoughts and desires calmly. When

she mentioned the past, she was like counting pearls, with light in her eyes.

Xue Chenjing liked to see her lively eyes.

There were a few beads of sweat on Yu Yi's forehead. As a cultivator, she was immune to cold and heat because of her spiritual power. As long as she wanted, she could move her fingertips and make a spell to reduce the heat in her body. But she obviously didn't want to do that now.

Just like they could obviously take the Emperor's chariot or sit with Senior Brother He, and visit all the places she wanted to go in a few days, but it seemed that there was too much less fun, and she couldn't see the scenery along the way, and she didn't have the expectation along the way.

They moved forward slowly and went to many places.

Xue Chenjing reached out and lifted a strand of hair that was hanging on her shoulder, slowly twisting it around his fingertips, and whispered, "Ayi, you seem to prefer the life of a mortal."

Yu Yi looked back and smiled, "Because I am a mortal to begin with."

When the carriage swayed into the city of its destination, Senior Brother He had been waiting on the tower for a long time, hanging his neck and watching carriage after carriage enter the city.

Finally, in the evening, it saw the snow-white feathers inserted on the door of a carriage, and it flew down, hitting the carriage that was slowly approaching the city gate in the distance with a thud, to express its dissatisfaction.

The coachman who was driving the carriage in front of the carriage was pierced through by the sharp beak of the red-crowned crane, and suddenly turned into a paper man hanging on its mouth. Senior Brother Crane made a confused "click" sound, and the paper man was torn into two halves on its mouth and fell down.

It pushed open the car door and looked inside. Its sharp beak squeezed in and was entangled by a pseudo-leg. The crane's cry muffled in its throat and had to be swallowed back into its stomach.

Xue Chenjing glanced at it, hung the pass for the two people on its mouth, and said, "Don't make noise, she is sleeping."

Senior Brother Crane knew that he was in the wrong, so he took the pass and went out, squatting in front of the car.

The soldiers guarding the city had already seen the crane. Cranes are considered auspicious in the folks, especially this crane, which is tall and majestic, with extraordinary momentum and spirituality, and it attracts a lot of attention.

The soldiers looked at it curiously, took the pass to check, and looked inside the car before letting it go.

Yu Yi slept all the way in the car. Now she woke up and was full of energy. She led Senior Brother He and Xue Chenjing to visit the night market. Xue Chenjing was used to her habit. Every time she went to a place, she would go to the busiest market first.

The two of them had their hands full of things. Yu Yi opened her mouth and bit a candied haws, squinting her eyes as she ate it. Then she passed the string of haws to his mouth and said, "Eat it. This string of candied haws is very sweet."

Xue Chenjing bit off one from her hand, his sharp teeth breaking the outer sugar coating, and the hawthorn inside exuded a sweet and sour taste. The seeds in the hawthorn were removed, and it was filled with sweet glutinous rice, which was indeed better than what he had eaten before.

Senior Brother He made a "click" sound and poked his head out from Xue Chenjing's shoulder. Yu Yi had no choice but to pass the candied haws to it again, and it opened its mouth wide and took all the remaining haws into its mouth.

Xue Chenjing quickly pinched its beak and said angrily, "You eat too much!"

The red-crowned crane flapped its wings and yelled vaguely, "What's wrong with me eating too much? I ate what my junior sister fed me, not yours!"

Everyone around looked at them. Yu Yi raised his hand and punched each man and bird, saying unhappily, "Isn't it just a string of candied haws? I bought it for you, it's so embarrassing!"

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Chenjing got a whole straw target full of strings of candied haws, and Senior Brother Crane was turned into a little bird squatting on a haystack, pecking at it with its little pointed beak, but it couldn't finish pecking at one after a long time.

After walking half the street, Xue Chenjing had a bunch of drooling kids behind him. He didn't know how to deal with kids, and Yu Yi was even worse than him. She tried to send them away with candied haws, but it attracted another bunch of greedy kids.

After dividing the candied haws, only the last one was left, one of which had been pecked by Senior Brother He.

Seeing that the quick-mouthed kids finished eating and looked at them again, Xue Chenjing's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He put the bald straw target in his hand into the storage bag, pulled Yu Yi back into the darkness where the candle couldn't shine, and disappeared on the spot.

In order to keep a string of candied haws, Xue Chenjing actually used magic to avoid those kids.

When the autumn leaves were about to fall, they returned to Johor Bahru. The people of Johor Bahru still remembered Senior Brother He, the great white crane, and the Crane Fairy who had helped them solve many problems.

The carriage passed through the streets of Johor Bahru, and many fruits and vegetables were delivered. Even Senior Brother He had two crucian carps hanging around his neck.

Yu Yi took Xue Chenjing back to the Bamboo Forest Secret Realm. This place was built on a tiny spiritual eye. The spiritual energy provided by the spiritual eye was just enough to maintain this dense green bamboo forest.

The secret space was not large. Although it was small, it had everything, including mountains, water, flowers, trees, and a two-story building.

The secret realm was opened, and the frozen time in the bamboo forest began to flow again. Xue Chenjing's eyes reflected a green scene. When he passed through the bamboo forest, he reached out and touched the crisscross sword marks on the thick green bamboo.

The next bamboo was engraved with large and small characters, all the same character.

"Zheng? What does this mean?" Xue Chenjing asked puzzled.

"Ah, this." Yu Yi stretched out his hand and slid across the characters. "When I first came to this world, I wanted to remember how long I had been here. At first, I carved one stroke every day, then once every seven days, and then once a month."

These green bamboos are the largest in the bamboo forest and also the ones that have grown the longest. Almost all of them have her inscriptions.

Later, she stopped incising.

Xue Chenjing looked at the bamboo closest to him and stretched out his hand to touch it. Before he could touch it, he suddenly withdrew his hand and frowned. The inscriptions on this spiritual bamboo still retained some of the emotions of the person who carved them at that time.

Yu Yi had already walked through the bamboo forest and walked onto the wooden bridge across the water. Seeing that he did not catch up, he turned around and waved to him, "Come in quickly."

Xue Chenjing responded and quickly followed.

Yu Yi went to pay homage to her master first, packed up the spoils she had bought along the way, moved into the bamboo building, leaned on the railing on the second floor, and shouted to the people below: "Now we have three properties, the Demon Realm, the Overseas Spirit Island, and the Bamboo Forest Secret Realm."

Xue Chenjing was in the kitchen preparing Senior Brother He's crucian carp, boiling fish soup, and making noodles with the fish soup. She raised her eyes to look at her through the lingering mist and said, "Actually, I have another house in Lingyue."

Yu Yi quickly came down from the building and said in surprise: "Lingyue? Isn't that the territory of Wuji Tower?"

"Well, it was lost to me by a cultivator from Wuji Tower in a bet." Xue Chenjing said, and after rummaging for a long time, he found a thin jade slip as long as a thumb, and reached out to touch the jade slip.

The golden characters floated in the air, which was a land deed and the seals of both parties in the transaction. This jade slip was the key to open the house. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

But the house was within the fairyland of Wuji Tower and belonged to the outer sect of Wuji Tower. He had not had the chance to collect the gambling debt yet. Now that all the major fairy sects were sealed off, there was even less chance to collect it.

Yu Yi watched him make a face while playing with his jade slip and sighed, "What a pity."

In the middle of the night, Yu Yi suddenly woke up and there was no one beside her pillow. She propped herself up in confusion. She couldn't count how many times she woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see Xue Chenjing. In the past, he would come back soon, but this time she waited for a long time and he didn't come back.

Yu Yi stood up, casually pulled a coat over her shoulders, and pushed the door open to go out.

The moon was approaching full, and the moonlight in the sky was clear and bright, spreading throughout the courtyard. Senior Brother He stood on the bridge in the lake, sleeping with his head in his wings, and his shadow was projected on the water, as quiet as a painting.

@無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

This coat was a bit big, it was Xue Chenjing's clothes, and when she wore it and walked through the courtyard, the hem of the coat dragged across the flowers and plants on the ground, making a rustling sound.

In the green bamboo forest, Xue Chenjing was wearing a dark-colored middle coat, standing in front of the green bamboos he had walked by during the day. He lowered his head and stared at the words engraved on the bamboos, his transparent tentacles entwined on the bamboo poles, and the soft tips rubbed the deep marks carefully.

The emotions left in every scratch on the word "正" were transmitted to him through countless sensory organs at the end of his body. He seemed to be able to touch the tears left on the bamboos, belonging to Yu Yi.

The system asked: "Host, please confirm whether to redeem the final reward."

Xue Chenjing stroked the scratches, tears dripping on the back of his hand, and said unhappily: "Once is enough, but you still want me to answer a second time."

The system said: "Sorry, this is to prevent the host from accidentally touching or acting impulsively, so there will be a second confirmation prompt."

Xue Chenjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't you only do this kind of thing when you are impulsive?" For example, now that he was given a second chance to confirm, he began to be reluctant again.

Every day he delayed, every day he found excuses to keep her for one more day, just like the word "正" on the bamboo, he also carved many "正" in his heart.

Xue Chenjing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth with difficulty. Suddenly, a voice came from a distance, shouting: "Ah Qiu, what are you doing there?"

Xue Chenjing's accumulated courage dissipated in an instant, and he wiped his face in a panic before turning to her.

Yu Yi stood on the wooden bridge over the water, waved the small pot in her hand at him, and said, "Come here."

Xue Chenjing walked over and found that she was holding a jar of apricot wine in her hand, "Apricot wine?"

"Yes, the apricot wine bought in that town." Yu Yi led him to sit on the wooden bench by the water, stuffed a small pot into his hand, and held another small pot in her arms. She clinked glasses with him, tilted her head back and took a sip, and said casually, "You seem to have trouble sleeping recently, what's wrong?"

The fruity aroma of apricot wine mixed with a hint of alcohol wafted into his nose. Xue Chenjing held the small pot of wine. At this moment, he was still very reluctant to tell Yu Yi about the existence of the mission reward. He would rather send her away in person without her knowing, than hear her choose to abandon him.

Even though he knew in his heart what she would choose.

Xue Chenjing raised his head and took a sip, then turned to look at Yu Yi, and found an excuse that he was not used to the new environment. He was now quite good at finding excuses to explain why he ran out in the middle of the night.

Yu Yi, as before, did not ask any questions, and gently touched his wine pot again, saying: "Then I will accompany you to drink a few more glasses. It's best to sleep when you are half drunk and half awake."

This kind of sweet wine brewed from fruits is not very intoxicating. Xue Chenjing felt unhappy, and with his beloved accompanying him, he followed her and drank it mouthful by mouthful.

Senior Brother He woke up from his sleep, smacked his lips, looked at them in confusion, moved to a place, and stuck his head into the feathers to continue sleeping.

The moonlight was getting darker and darker, and Xue Chenjing's mind was getting more and more confused. His eyes fell on the bright eyes and wet lips of the person in front of him. He saw that she seemed to say something, but he could no longer hear it.

The wine pot in Xue Chenjing's hand fell to the ground, and his body swayed and fell on Yu Yi's shoulder.

Yu Yi reached out to hold him and touched his cheek, "Fortunately, it works for you too."

Thank you, Master, for the high-quality drugs that he has collected for many years.
