Chapter 31, First Official Release: The Pregnant Puppy...
It is said that a fish's memory lasts only a moment.
While Yu Xiao was communicating with the fairy in white, she was thinking about how to talk to her again, and then she started to space out, or rather, ponder.
The white-clad fairy looked stern. She felt that this person hadn't made a move for a long time, so she thought she should get ahead of Yu Xiao and approach the thatched hut.
Cooked food —
The thatched hut, which was originally teetering on the brink of collapse, suddenly burst into golden light just as it was about to be touched by an outsider.
The white-clad fairy was suddenly thrown dozens of feet away by an external force.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up in a disheveled state, her expression growing increasingly solemn.
As the master's eldest disciple, the White-Clad Fairy's combat skills naturally far surpassed those of her junior brother, Ling Yue. Therefore, the array outside the thatched hut could not possibly have been created by Ling Yue.
Could it be...?
She wanted to step forward, but ultimately feared the nameless golden light and had no choice but to stay where she was.
The golden light came suddenly, yet for no reason, it made her feel fear and even a little apprehensive towards Yu Xiao, this seemingly ordinary but frail doctor.
In the end, she could only stand there, bow to Yu Xiao and say, "It was I who was blind to your greatness."
Even if the person is a senior with unfathomable abilities, one should certainly be much more respectful.
As for the situation inside, the white-clad fairy entered and tried to peer inside with her spirit, but was still blocked by an unnamed force.
Thus, in the eyes of this deity, Yu Xiao appeared even more unfathomable.
While the white-clad fairy hesitated, the dazed little fish also took action.
He walked to the thatched hut and began drawing water from his well.
The well is usually covered to prevent children from falling in when they come to play.
Yu Xiaohui would use the water from the well to treat his patients or to entertain guests.
Although the white-clad fairy seemed like an unwelcome guest, Yu Xiao felt that since this woman had a relationship with Ling Yue, it was best not to act impolitely towards her from the start.
As a host, it is only right to fulfill one's duties as a host and offer water to the guests.
In this way, although they did not communicate verbally, they still agreed on how to get along, and reached a relatively peaceful state in a short period of time.
The water gurgled gently, and even though Yu Xiao was dressed plainly, her demeanor and movements while fetching water were like a painting.
The sound of the reins rubbing against the bearings was quite torturous for the white-clad fairy.
How strange, the person opposite me is clearly an ordinary mortal, why...
The white-clad fairy felt even greater respect for Yu Xiao.
"Since you are Yueyue's senior, you are a guest. Please."
Yu Xiao held up a half-filled gourd ladle and handed it to the white-clad fairy with both hands.
Despite being merely a mortal who lived in the mountains and had never contacted the outside world, the elegant manners and demeanor he displayed made the white-clad fairy, who was used to seeing graceful young men, wary.
This seemingly ordinary doctor, who owns a house that even he cannot enter, appears to have extraordinary abilities.
After handing the water to the fairy in white, Yu Xiao left on her own, leaving the fairy in white, who was lost in thought, standing there.
The woman held the water ladle for a long time, but in the end, she still didn't pour the water from the gourd ladle onto the nearby ground.
Since this senior, whose depths are unclear, has offered her a ladle of water, she will drink it.
Although Yu Xiao didn't seem to have the slightest air of a senior expert, the white-robed fairy still took it upon herself to regard Yu Xiao as a senior and dared not disobey in the slightest.
It seemed as if some unseen force was compelling her not to refuse the mysterious doctor before her.
Finally, the fairy in white turned the gourd ladle she had used for drinking water upside down and placed it next to the well cover.
Then I continued to wait, and this time I had no desire to rush things at all; I just waited patiently.
Hopefully, this senior (?) will be easy to talk to and that there won't be any further complications...
...
When Yu Xiao returned to the room, the puppies had already been... left there for a long time and were in extreme pain.
The puppy, having worn the soft shackles for so long, forgot what it should be like without them.
It has become a toy that can be played with at will; this little dog exudes its lewdness from head to toe.
Even after Yu Xiao finally freed it, it remained in its original position, not moving for a long time, as if it had completely gotten used to being treated this way.
Yu Xiao naturally had a way to bring the puppy back to its senses when it fell into a strange state and started to stare blankly.
He wiped the puppy with a towel soaked in warm water until all the previously left, indescribable marks were removed.
Finally, he showered the puppy with countless kisses on its face and body, saying, "You should wake up now."
The puppy, which had been adjusted to be almost indistinguishable from a toy, still whined and wanted to stick close to Yu Xiao.
In the end, Yu Xiao grabbed him by the back of the neck and ordered him to sit up straight, saying, "There is a girl in white outside looking for you."
"She also said that there was an extremely urgent matter in the place where you used to be, and that you needed to go back as soon as possible."
Then I tidied up the clothes that the puppy hadn't been allowed to wear for a long time and gave them to him.
"Now put your clothes on."
Just like ordering a puppy to maintain a lewd state during an indescribable moment, now Yu Xiao is ordering Ling Yue to stop acting like a puppy and start being a human again. Ling Yue will obey and is extremely excited.
As a result, there was another reaction.
Yu Xiao coldly slapped away all of Ling Yue's reactions.
His dog had to behave according to his will, sometimes maintaining a dignified and proper demeanor, and at other times becoming incredibly servile.
How Ling Yue will change depends entirely on Yu Xiao's ideas.
Thus, the puppy's previously turbulent and beautiful feelings completely vanished under its owner's command.
As long as it's Yu Xiao's order, Ling Yue really can't bring himself to resist.
He loved Yu Xiao so much that he would listen to her every wish.
So he changed his clothes again in front of Yu Xiao.
She showed Zhang Fan the entire process of her transformation.
In front of its master, it barely managed to transform from a lowly dog into a sanctimonious person.
Moreover, one must cast several calming spells on oneself simultaneously in order to maintain a state from continuing to act aroused.
Although Ling Yue really wanted to indulge himself, Yu Xiao insisted that he couldn't, so he didn't.
...
"Senior sister."
"Young Master."
The two old friends finally met. Knowing that she was an outsider, Yu Xiao kept a distance from Ling Yue and his family, simply watching from afar.
But Yu Xiao was clearly overthinking it.
The white-clad fairy and Yu Xiao, as expected of those who came from heaven, each possessed unique abilities. They could subtly convey each other's meaning simply by slightly opening and closing their lips, without making a sound.
It was impossible for Yu Xiao to observe even the slightest movements, or read their lips.
So these really are celestial beings from heaven...
Yu Xiao held the red rope in her sleeve thoughtfully.
Not long after, Ling Yue and the white-robed fairy finished their conversation.
The puppy still looks just like the flamboyant little black dog Yu Xiao first met, dressed in all black with a lively high ponytail, looking more and more like a long-haired little black dog.
When she ran up to Yu Xiaoqian and tugged at his sleeve, he was still sticky:
“My senior sister said that my mother had an urgent matter and asked me to go back, but I didn’t want to go back.”
The puppy clearly considers Yu Xiao its owner.
Even when it was something that clearly involved his private affairs, he would first ask Yu Xiao for her opinion.
"I love my husband very much and don't want to be separated from him, but my mother has an urgent matter to attend to, so I have to go..."
It was clearly the puppy's own problem, but in the end, Ling Yue ended up making it seem like he was the one in the wrong.
"My baby and I are both reluctant to leave my husband, but..."
The puppy realized how inadequate his explanation to Yu Xiao seemed.
Perhaps Ling Yue had already realized that Yu Xiao was not so easy to fool, and that nothing he said might have any effect: so he could only fall into a temporary linguistic stalemate.
Yu Xiao remained calm when facing Ling Yue.
A dog that loves its owner very much can only sense its owner's emotional fluctuations through their actions.
Just as Yu Xiao only seems more like a living person when it's indescribable, Ling Yue hopes that Yu Xiao will maintain a lot of indescribable relationships with him.
Only when he was bullied and forced to indulge in terrible fantasies could Ling Yue feel that Yu Xiao loved him.
She even ignored her senior sister's wary gaze towards Yu Xiao, and recklessly wanted to get close to Yu Xiao, even asking Yu Xiao to tie the red string around her neck.
However, Yu Xiao would not do that.
He had noticed long ago that the white-clad fairy seemed to harbor some hostility towards him, but he didn't know why she had delayed making a move for so long.
It wasn't because of her close relationship with Ling Yue, nor because of that little guy whose nature she didn't yet know, but for a deeper reason.
Yu Xiao couldn't figure out the deeper reason for this at the moment.
Yu Xiao is just naturally indifferent to expressing his emotions, but he is not a complete idiot who is oblivious to the situation.
The white-clad fairy seemed somewhat wary of Yu Xiao, but Yu Xiao couldn't truly act without restraint.
Perhaps, this balance could be disrupted if he shows even the slightest intention to keep Ling Yue here.
Yu Xiao still wanted to live longer and become a good doctor to treat more patients.
That woman wanted to take Ling Yue away, and Yu Xiao couldn't stop her.
So Yu Xiao even very considerately persuaded Ling Yue to leave with the white-clad fairy.
Even after the two figures gradually vanished into nothingness, the puppy, which had not been restrained for a short time, still looked back from time to time, gazing at Yu Xiao with increasing reluctance.
This time, Yu Xiao could understand his lip movements. The puppy was saying to him, "I will definitely come back to find you."
Yu Xiao then took one more look at the puppy that was about to leave and waved goodbye to it.
His face remained expressionless, but he looked really cute.
The puppy clutched its chest and leaned back, probably because it genuinely found its lover adorable.
Even as time passed like flowing water, the once green grass and trees withered and regenerated, and snow fell from the sky.
Ling Yue has not returned yet.
As for Yu Xiao, he still seemed the same as he always had.
Whether it was before Ling Yue came, during the time when Ling Yue and he were always inseparable, or later when Ling Yue was turned into his toy and could only be placed there every day to wait for Yu Xiao to go to him in an indescribable way, he remained expressionless.
It seems that nothing external can ever cause Yu Xiao to have emotional fluctuations; he will always be that doctor whose emotions are so detached that he seems otherworldly.
Yu Xiao's patients came and went, and the children who often came to play with him also changed.
Ling Yue still hasn't returned, as if their most intimate time together, day and night, was just an illusion.
Or, to look at it from the worst-case scenario, it seems that Yu Xiao was dumped by his bad dog. The bad dog didn't really like those games that Yu Xiao loved most, which were hard to describe, and couldn't stand it, so he took the opportunity to run away, which seems quite reasonable.
Yu Xiao originally thought he would never see those immortals from heaven again, and that he would be separated from them forever.
Yu Xiao, who could never attain enlightenment, could not understand how worldly cultivators cultivated immortality.
So one day, Yu Xiao saved another child, and when the child hugged her leg and called her "brother," Yu Xiao felt that she could let go.
The system remained beside Yu Xiao, silently playing a recording of Ling Yue's recent situation.
A dog that sneaks away from its owner and doesn't know how to go home is a bad dog, so Yu Xiao would occasionally use the avatars provided by the system to bully Ling Yue remotely.
Seeing the little figure begin to show a slight pregnancy and become contorted in pain, Yu Xiao's otherwise mundane life would become a little more interesting.
The immortal who abandoned him and never returned should be taught a lesson like this.
Yu Xiao herself showed no sign of being upset.
However, even if Yu Xiao unilaterally believes that she has no more connection with those immortals in the sky and unilaterally declares that they will never see each other again.
But he saw the celestial beings in the sky again.
As for this time, the celestial beings in heaven came to take his life.
Unlike the previous white-clad fairy who was easy to talk to and would obediently drink water, this visitor was a young man with slightly gloomy eyes.
The young man immediately began to nitpick and find fault with Yu Xiao as soon as he saw her, as if he wanted to find out every single flaw in her.
When the depressed young man came to see Yu Xiao, his terrifying aura had already scared away the villagers who were supposed to be treated by Yu Xiao.
So for a short time, only Yu Xiao was talking to the gloomy young man.
The unwelcome guest looked at Yu Xiao, sizing her up and down several times:
"I heard that you are the mortal who was entangled with my junior brother in the mortal world, and even willing to do anything for him...
Having said all that, Yu Xiao could roughly guess the other party's intentions.
Is this actually a love rival?
Otherwise, why would he refuse to introduce himself or discuss serious matters, and instead bring up Ling Yue again for no apparent reason?
Unfortunately, Yu Xiao had no experience communicating with rivals in love. Some familiar villagers had expressed their affection for him before, which even led some other villagers to show similar jealousy.
These people of Yu Xiao's kind usually give Yu Xiao face because of her medical skills.
If everyone sits down and talks properly, the already weak hostility can be overcome.
However, Yu Xiao sensed a hostility from this unfamiliar guest that was much stronger than ever before.
Yu Xiao actually lacked common sense about communicating with people and couldn't think of any way to get along with the gloomy young man and resolve the conflict.
"So you've come here to kill me?"
Yu Xiao decided not to pour water for this unpleasant guest who wanted to kill her.
Even when the cold weather threatened her life and she could die at any moment, Yu Xiao remained fearless.
He simply and methodically put down the herbs he was holding, placing them far away from his current location, until he thought the war was unlikely to reach him.
With Yu Xiao around, there are almost no doctors left near Mount Sumeru, but fortunately, some people are still literate and have categorized and preserved the medicinal herbs so that someone might be able to use them in the future.
The gloomy young man was furious when he realized he never saw any mortals regretting and begging for mercy before they died.
He even began to regret not killing this damned mortal right away, allowing him to remain calm and handle things for so long, letting him get away with everything!
A flash of white light.
After placing the herbs, Yu Xiao, facing the unwelcome guest again, suddenly froze.
A short knife pierced Yu Xiao's chest, threatening to shatter his heart.
...
The flow of time is different in the celestial realm and the mortal realm.
Ling Yue hurriedly returned to his mother's side. After seeing his beloved elder and dealing with the matters that his mother had urgently summoned him back to handle, he was able to see her again.
Several days had already passed in the Immortal Realm.
Born in the Immortal Realm, Ling Yue was carefully nurtured by his mother from a young age, and he handled external affairs flawlessly.
Only when she had some free time did she have the energy to pat her belly and express her longing for Yu Xiao, "Baby, do you miss him?"
To facilitate her travels and magical battles, the immortal remained completely normal during her pregnancy, except that her belly swelled slightly but not excessively.
Ling Yue could sense that the little guy was growing up quietly and was very quiet, just like Yu Xiao, never causing any trouble.
While handling his mother's official business, Ling Yue even prepared a place to live with Yu Xiao in advance.
Ling Yue's mother did not have a steady partner, but she did not expect her son to be like her. This exceptionally tolerant elder fully supported all of her son's decisions.
He could even help Ling Yue take care of the little guy while he still has some free time and doesn't really want to retire.
Everything was going so smoothly that Ling Yue became so engrossed in it that he didn't notice the passage of time outside.
The puppy was busy building its nest and it took a long time for it to realize that it had wasted too much time.
Meanwhile, Ling Yue's senior sister, who had been accompanying him, watched Ling Yue as if he were watching a show, saying, "You promised to go and comfort the person who promised you as soon as possible, so you'd better go quickly, or that little doctor might cry."
Ling Yue retorted to her senior sister, "Master... Yu Xiao wouldn't do that."
While being constantly forced to take medicine and undergo "educational adjustments" by Yu Xiao, they also tried many different things, including how they addressed each other, sometimes in a way that was extremely shameless.
However, Ling Yue didn't want his Yu Xiao to be criticized by outsiders, so he restrained his desire to continue making crude remarks and maintained Yu Xiao's cool image.
"Senior Sister?"
Ling Yue gradually realized that something seemed off.
The fairy in white seemed to have something she couldn't say before, and wanted to tell him now.
The white-clad fairy looked at Ling Yue with some pity:
"Good junior brother, good young master, you finally found out?"
"You left that mortal alone in the lower realm, yet you subtly expressed extreme favoritism towards him in your words and actions. Is it possible that this is a form of flattery that could lead to your downfall?"
"From my perspective, my master's requirements are definitely the most important, but have you ever considered what that mortal will encounter if left to roam in the lower realm?"
Ling Yue finally realized something.
The mother and son have enemies, as well as many other complex interpersonal relationships.
His mother was also a Celestial Emperor, and there were definitely many people watching them, some of whom had even made enemies.
If they can't deal with their enemies for the time being, what should they do if they choose to direct their conflict towards Yu Xiao?
Ling's mother didn't care about Yu Xiao, so whether Ling Yue brought Yu Xiao back to the Immortal Realm or let Yu Xiao die in the mortal world, this immortal who had lived for thousands of years didn't care.
But Ling Yue, who has not yet lost his innate enthusiasm and has given Yu Xiao endless love, cares!
After his senior sister's reminder, Ling Yue immediately understood the implications. He made a hand seal and was about to rush down to the lower realm to meet Yu Xiao.
However, the white-clad fairy pressed down on Ling Yue's shoulder, her expression becoming exceptionally subtle.
Ling Yue noticed his senior sister's unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"
The white-clad fairy pointed to the distant, soaring rays of light, her expression dignified.
"A great figure from the Immortal Realm has emerged from seclusion, but we don't know who it is."
Ling Yue glared at his senior sister in annoyance, deciding to settle the score with her later.
No matter how powerful a figure emerges from seclusion, how could they compare to the importance of Yu Xiao in his heart?
We should go to the lower realm to find Yu Xiao right away!
His mortals loved him so much; they must have been very sad to be separated from him for such a long time.
Ling Yue brought a bunch of his treasured trinkets, hoping to appease his partner Yu Xiao as soon as they met.
But when Ling Yue returned to the thatched hut, all he saw was ruins.
Ling Yue's vision blurred, and he almost collapsed, but he knew he couldn't fall.
They struggled to search through the ruins, which showed obvious signs of an explosion, for a long time, but found nothing.
Undeterred, Ling Yue began visiting villages near Mount Sumeru, going door-to-door in an attempt to obtain information about Yu Xiao from the villagers.
The answers were consistent: one day, thunder suddenly roared incessantly on Mount Sumeru at night, so loud that even cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs dared not make a sound.
When I went up the mountain early the next morning, the thatched hut on Mount Sumeru and the doctor in the hut were gone.
The villagers were relatively optimistic about the matter and discussed it among themselves:
"Dr. Yu Xiao is such a good person, perhaps even Heaven will take pity on him and let him ascend to become an immortal?"
The wishes of the people have always been so simple and beautiful.
Yu Xiao is a good person, therefore Yu Xiao can ascend to heaven.
Ling Yue really wanted to tell them that ascension wasn't that simple, but looking at these fellow villagers who used to be close to Yu Xiao, he couldn't bear to spoil their fun, so he could only nod in agreement.
If Yu Xiao really ascended to immortality, why didn't he see Yu Xiao in the Immortal Realm?
Finally, Ling Yue chuckled dryly and agreed a few times. After thinking for a moment, he ultimately distributed all the little things that were originally meant for Yu Xiao to the children he had introduced.
For the next period of time, Ling Yue became mentally confused and started to daydream, just like Aunt Yu Xiao used to.
Ling Yue didn't know what Yu Xiao was thinking when she was in a daze, but he knew that he was thinking about Yu Xiao when he was in a daze.
It's gone.
The pregnant puppy has no owner.
Until one day, Ling's mother said to Ling Yue:
"There's a banquet I need you to attend; you can't refuse."
