Chapter 103: First Release Is This the Power of God...
She raised her hand and touched Song Linsheng's back, patting it hard twice, and Song Linsheng began to vomit intermittently.
"Cough cough." Song Linsheng coughed violently, and his internal organs seemed to be soaked in water.
Xiyan and a group of attendants rushed over, all of them were very nervous about their master's condition, and they wanted to surround Song Linsheng and Wen Yu so tightly that no one could get through.
"Spread out, why are you crowding so close together?" Wen Yu waved, signaling everyone to move away. "The tighter you crowd, the harder it will be for him to breathe."
Mortals really cannot withstand the torment. In front of them, water and fire are untamable disasters.
Wen Yu helped Song Linsheng onto the shore and placed him aside, but before she could let go and take a step back, her wrist was grabbed by someone, and then she fell into an embrace that was wet but not cold.
It was Song Linsheng.
Both of them were soaked. As they hugged each other, Wen Yu seemed to be able to feel the warmth coming from Song Linsheng's chest through the clothes, which made her cheeks gradually turn red.
He didn't say anything, but his strength was so great that his arms were like entwined vines, holding Wen Yu tightly in his arms, as if she would disappear in an instant if he loosened his grip even a little.
Seeing this, Xiyan quickly ordered his subordinates to disperse, leaving only a few trusted confidants standing in front of the young master and Madam Wen, turning their backs to separate them from the crowd on the riverbank.
Song Linsheng's eyelashes drooped slightly, with wet water droplets still hanging on them. He stared at Wen Yu in his arms, as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
"Wenyu, Wenyu."
The strange feelings hidden in his heart behind the fog gradually became clearer. He was like a traveler walking in a mountain stream. After trekking through mountains and rivers and crossing numerous peaks, he finally saw the scenery behind the mountain.
His voice was light and thin, like feathers brushing against Wen Yu's heart, making her feel both frightened and itchy.
Wen Yu didn't know what to say. She paused for a moment and imitated Song Linsheng's tone and called out softly, "Song Linsheng?"
"Um."
"Song Linsheng——"
"Here I am."
Wen Yu laughed, and her nose couldn't help feeling sour. As she spoke, she took a step back, held Song Linsheng's arms with both hands, and looked around at him.
"Are you all right?"
"I--"
Song Linsheng was about to respond when Xiyanzi came over suddenly.
"It seems that everything is fine now, but if it weren't for Madam Wen's rescue, I'm afraid that something would have happened."
He hadn't meant to offend the young master, but he would surely just say, "No problem." If Madam Wen couldn't even know the young master's willingness to risk his life, wouldn't that be too...
Seeing Wen Yu's puzzled expression, Xiyan quickly added, "The young master can't swim," and then quickly retreated. He still had some sense of propriety. If the young master punished him by making him copy books, that would be extremely bad.
As soon as Xiyan finished speaking, Song Linsheng's face flushed red, like a half-peeled lychee, thin, white and smooth, as beautiful as a jade.
Seeing this, Wen Yu knew that he was out of breath and was holding it in, so he quickly raised his hand and patted his back. Only then did Song Linsheng cough up, which seemed to confirm Xi Yan's words that he "didn't know how to use water".
He didn't want to cough out loud, otherwise it would seem like he was a real landlubber. It would be fine on normal days, but now in front of Wen Yu, he couldn't tolerate any imperfection in himself.
Even when he started coughing repeatedly, Song Linsheng was still extremely annoyed.
"You can't swim yet you still jump in, are you trying to kill yourself?"
Wen Yu was shocked and angry. She had not forgotten why she came to the lower world. It was because she had destroyed Song Linsheng's longevity branch. She was afraid that his original fate would be disrupted or even that he would die. That's why she followed him here eagerly, hoping to stay by his side and protect him from danger and ensure a smooth, safe and healthy life.
But she felt that the longer she stayed with Song Linsheng, the more troubles Song Linsheng encountered.
The lives of mortals are fragile and can hardly withstand the wind and rain. Even if they are reborn, they can only live for a few short decades. Compared with these fairies, they are like mayflies, born in a day and dying in a day.
Just ordinary.
"Why are you so stupid——"
She couldn't drown, so why did she need him, who couldn't swim, to risk his life to save her? Wen Yu felt a lump in her throat.
The crystal tears fell from the corners of Wen Yu's eyes, leaving a tear stain on her cheek, which mixed with the undried water marks. The wet hair on both sides stuck to her face, and the messy hair ends flowed down her neck and into her collar.
The whole person was wet and very attractive.
Song Linsheng was immediately panicked and stood in front of Wen Yu at a loss, not daring to answer or raise his hand to wipe her tears.
The grace and composure of the past disappeared completely in Wen Yu's tears.
He... He didn't think too much at the time, and he forgot that he couldn't swim at all. By the time he reacted, his whole body was wrapped in the water flow, and he fell to the ground with no resistance.
Song Linsheng took a step forward. He wanted to hug Wen Yu like he did just now, but he had been in such a hurry that he forgot the etiquette. Now he had already sobered up and was afraid that he could not go beyond the rules.
For the first time, he felt that being sober and self-controlled was not a good thing.
Song Linsheng took off his outer robe, put his arms around Wen Yu's shoulders, and gently put it on her. Although his outer robe was also soaked, the man's clothes were loose and could cover Wen Yu a little.
"I'm fine, really." Song Linsheng hadn't finished speaking, as if afraid that Wen Yu wouldn't believe him, so he quickly raised his hand and turned around, "Look, I'm fine."
Song Linsheng recalled the words Wen Yu said when she leaned against him that day when they parted at Hou Tu Temple.
"Song Linsheng, this journey may be dangerous and difficult, but please trust me."
"Don't alert the enemy when you go back, and don't look for me anywhere. You and I will work together from the inside and outside, and see what kind of drama this is."
"Song Linsheng, believe me."
He could not forget Wen Yu's eyes when she said this. They were clear, bright, firm and calm, which made him believe it unconsciously.
But even though he believed in Wen Yu, he couldn't help but suffer a lot these days, fearing that she would suffer and that her life would be in danger.
"What about you? You suffered."
Song Linsheng turned his eyes away. He actually wanted to look at Wen Yu carefully from head to toe like the way Wen Yu looked at him just now, to see if she had any external injuries or if she had lost weight. However, they had just waded through the water and their bodies were already soaked, so it was even more inappropriate for him to stare at Wen Yu directly.
"I?"
Wen Yu finally stopped crying and broke into a smile, her shoulders shrugged slightly.
Song Linsheng turned his head slightly when he heard the voice, and saw a touch of green color appear in front of him. It was Wen Yu's jade ring. The tassel underneath swayed from side to side, and occasionally a few strands of it slid across his nose.
The jade ring was moist and translucent, with a blue light flickering inside.
He couldn't help but reach out and hold the unique jade ring at his waist in his hand, tightening it again and again.
"I'm fine too."
Wen Yu deliberately imitated Song Linsheng's tone and joked with him playfully.
She held the jade ring in one hand and gently moved the tassel with the other. As the tassel swayed, the scene of that day slowly unfolded before her eyes.
"Who are you?"
Wen Yu turned around and saw the person on the roof. She was bathed in the setting sun, clearly in golden light, but it could not hide her frosty color.
The visitor, eyes covered with white silk and holding a silver whip, stood proudly between heaven and earth, his whole body exuding an air not unlike that of an ordinary person.
The radiance that lingers around his body should be the divine aura.
Wen Yu paused, then mustered up the courage to take another closer look.
Although her jade-like face was mostly covered by white silk, she could still be identified as a woman from her figure and hair bun.
Wen Yu's thoughts moved rapidly. He quickly went through all the goddesses in the Eastern Heaven in his mind, but he still couldn't remember when this person appeared.
But the white silk above her eyes danced in the wind, and Wen Yu always felt that it was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
The man seemed to chuckle, but quickly stopped.
However, Wen Yu still heard it clearly. The laughter was like the melting of spring snow and the cracking of ice in the mountain stream, as if her smile could drive away the cold winter and revive all things.
Wen Yu was puzzled. Why did her description become stranger and stranger? Wasn't it her master, the God Ju Mang, who brought all things back to life?
Thinking of his master, Wen Yu suddenly became clear-headed, and the name in his mind almost came out of his mouth -
"You? You are—"
The woman on the roof raised her hand and passed it in front of her. The white silk flickered, and she appeared in front of Wen Yu in an instant.
She covered her eyes with the white silk, but she seemed to be able to see through Wen Yu's thoughts without even looking.
"Oh? You recognize me?" The visitor's lips curled slightly, as if a little surprised. "Then tell me, who am I?"
The woman in front of her was very close to her, so she could see her more clearly than before.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, and her head was covered with pearls and emeralds. A golden flower ornament on her forehead was quite ostentatious. Paired with a pair of pearl earrings on her ears that were hard to ignore, she was truly stunningly beautiful.
But she was clearly covered in gold, silver and jewels, yet she did not look tacky at all. Wen Yu could not see or touch the pair of eyes hidden under the white silk, but she inexplicably felt that they must be a pair of cold and desireless eyes.
Wen Yu's thoughts became more and more firm, and he began to relax.
"You are Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth in the middle lane!"
She suddenly felt a warmth on her body, which made her feel very normal. The spiritual energy that was blocked in her body seemed to be unblocked. Wen Yu couldn't help but move closer to the woman.
Is this the power of God?
Just being close to it has such an effect.
Unexpectedly, the woman shook her head slightly when she heard that. She stretched out a finger and tapped lightly, as if she wanted to scratch Wen Yu's nose.
"What almanac are you from in your previous life?"
Wen Yu paused after hearing this and said, "Huh?" Could it be that she was wrong?
"Little demon Wenyu, I am a disciple of the Supreme God Jumang of the Spring Temple." After quickly introducing my origin, Wenyu continued, "I once saw your statue with my master in the Temple of the Gods in the Central Heaven Court. You must be the Central God of Wealth Zhao..."
The woman smiled when she heard this. The God of Wealth was true, and the surname Zhao was also true, but Gong Mingjun was her master, and she—
"The God of Wealth in the middle road is Zhao Buwen." Buwen nodded slightly and greeted Wen Yu.
"Oh——" Wen Yu nodded repeatedly. Now that she couldn't go up the mountain and go to the Wutong Ancestral Temple, she had to seize the opportunity of meeting the immortal who came to her door.
"Are you the new disciple accepted by Lord Ju Mang?"
Ju Mang knew that he had a new disciple who was as precious as a pearl, but she had always been in the Central Heaven and seldom went out. If she came back, she would be looking for her troublesome mount everywhere, and she would have no time to attend to the affairs of the Eastern Heaven.
"Yes, yes, Wen Yu greets Mr. Bu Wen. I didn't know you were here..."
