Chapter 78 - There is More Than Meets the Eye
Chapter 78 - There is More Than Meets the Eye
Edited by Ea
Just as he was thinking about it, Big Miss’s eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.
The ancients have “painting a dragon and dotting the eyes in a finishing touch to bring it to life”. Although it was exaggerated, it was true. At the moment when she opened her eyes, Ling Fengxiao’s whole body was so vivid, but with the trance of a newly awakened person in her eyes, not as high and mighty as usual.
Then, Big Miss looked at the two holding hands, as if a little embarrassed.
Lin Shu tried to take the opportunity to withdraw his hand.
Although Big Miss was a little embarrassed, but, she didn’t let it go.
Lin Shu: “......”
Alright.
You can hold it as long as you want.
Then, he saw Big Miss looking into the room.
With the cleverness of the Big Miss, she must be able to guess what happened immediately.
But Big Miss did not immediately mention it. Instead, she propped herself up and leaned on the back of the bed and said in a warm voice, “It’s cold on the ground, come on to the bed.”
Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed, but since Big Miss had given the order, he could only sit by the side of the bed in a flattered way.
The Big Miss hadn’t fully recovered yet. Her black hair was scattered, and she was a little lazy. She held his hand and asked: “You still took the Spirit Gathering Pill?”
Lin Shu: “?”
Big Miss, how did you know about the Spirit Gathering Pill?
He became alert and said, “En.”
Big Miss asked: “Does it hurt?”
He said: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Big Miss looked at him, and said after a while: “I am sorry.”
Lin Shu: “It’s okay.”
Big Miss smiled and didn’t say anything. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be distracted.
After a while, she said: “When I was a child and was sick like this, it hurt for more than a hundred days.”
This kind of spiritual power that was out of control and running around in the meridians, it must be painful, Lin Shu knows.
And the body of a child, in which the meridians were still soft and tender, could not tolerate too much spiritual power, so it would be even more painful.
Big Miss indeed has a talent that ordinary people couldn’t match. But because of this, she had also suffered pain that ordinary people couldn’t imagine.
“It wasn’t until later that Lord Taoyuan came over and used his own spiritual power to dissolve the Qi of fire in my body, and I got better. Because of this, I recognized the Master Taoyuan and have seen his sword technique. But my mother didn’t want to tell me how she found someone like Lord Taoyuan and why he was willing to teach me the technique. You have forgotten the past, so presumably you also don’t know. ”
Lin Shu: “En.”
——It’s more than the past, he doesn’t even know what Lord Taoyuan looks like, he only knows that this person also has the sword skills of 《Everlasting Yearning》, and he is a person of the Sword Pavilion.
“Master Taoyuan was a recluse and a noble elder, and he also has extraordinary martial arts cultivation. I admire him very much. When he was about to leave, I was very upset and asked him when I would see him again. Lord Taoyuan said that when fate allows, we will naturally meet each other again.”
——When fate allows, we will naturally meet each other again. This is also the words in the letter that Lord Taoyuan left to the little fool.
However, fate, after all, was too mysterious, so Lin Shu only looked at it as some nonsensical and mysterious words.
“My mother asked him, what if I got sick again? Lord Taoyuan said to me that he entrusted a person to me. When I grow up, I will meet her. By then, the disease will be resolved.” Ling Fengxiao smiled and continued, “But I didn’t expect that to dissolve my spiritual power, you had to suffer–I would rather be unconscious.”
Lin Shu said, “It’s okay.”
He was not someone who was afraid of pain, but Big Miss couldn’t have an accident.
What’s more, it would be a real pity for a beautiful girl like Big Miss to sleep all the time.
He said, “I’ll go to the Terrifying Wind and Drizzle Garden and tell them you’re awake.”
Big Miss said softly: “Don’t go.”
Then she pushed aside the red silk brocade quilt like flowing water, leaned over, and said to him, “Go later.”
Lin Shu was puzzled: “?”
The Big Miss said: “Ever since Master Taoyuan told me about you, I have been thinking of you, but you have forgotten everything. You should be punished.”
Lin Shu felt a little guilty. After all, he occupied the little fool’s body only because the little fool had fallen into the water and drowned. Thinking about it again, if this shell still has the original soul, I am afraid the Big Miss will really face a dirty, mentally ill fool.
——At that time, I am afraid he will still be skinned.
However, there was another problem involved.
Just as Big Miss said, Master Taoyuan was an Immortal Lord who lived in seclusion. How could he accept a fool who has no meridians at all to be his apprentice?
Lin Shu couldn’t understand it, so he could only give up.
Big Miss said unhappily: “You are distracted.”
Lin Shu touched his nose: “I miss Master Taoyuan.”
He came back to his senses, and thought about what Big Miss had said before.
——She said she would punish him.
He asked, “How are you going to punish me?”
The Big Miss raised her eyebrows, looked at him for a while, and then said: “Although you should be punished, you’re cute, so you won’t be punished.”
Fickle.
Lin Shu tilted his head and said, “Many thanks to Big Miss for letting it go.”
Big Miss laughed and suddenly reached out to hug him from behind. One hand and one hand had originally been held together, but now the other hand had also covered it. She gripped his five fingers and did not speak.
Because of this close contact, Lin Shu was not able to breathe steadily. However, when he was on the road a few days ago, the two people had been in such a posture all the time, so he did not make an excessive reaction.
——Big Miss said that he would not be punished because he was cute. Although he did not know what part of him was cute, Big Miss’s beauty was the real thing. Well, just because the Big Miss is beautiful, he is willing to provide his fingers for her to play with.
He turned his head slightly to look at Big Miss. He felt that Big Miss’s half closed eyes and lashes made her look very quiet and peaceful. He could not see the pufferfish at all.
So he took advantage of Big Miss’s good mood and tentatively asked: “What were you doing during the days that I went to Huandang Mountain?”
Big Miss said: “I went to the Imperial City for a day, and then...”
After saying the word “then”, she suddenly quieted down strangely. After a while, Lin Shu heard her voice again: “Then I came to see you.”
Lin Shu felt that the time was a little wrong.
It took two days on the way from the Academy to Huandang Mountain.
The Heavenly Stairway and the Boundless Maze did not take long, at most one or two days, while the Exquisite Fairyland took more than ten days.
If Big Miss came to find himself the day after going to the Imperial City, then they should have met each other long ago, instead of reuniting with her only after he had already gone down Huandang Mountain and visited the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss.
Big Miss looked at him and suddenly smiled happily.
Then she let go of his hand and pulled him back. They lay side by side on the soft bed.
The tent hanging on the small silver hook was pulled by the two people’s movements, and it was torn apart. However, the red gauze curtain was warm and the light gauze was swaying, which made people in a trance for a moment.
The Big Miss seemed to like this kind of atmosphere very much. She closed her eyes gently and said, “You can think about it carefully.”
Lin Shu thought about it carefully.
He felt that there was some other meaning in Big Miss’s words.
He said: “Cousin and I went to Huandang Mountain together, and then the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss, and then you came?”
Big Miss did not speak, then said, “If you are like this, how can I rest assured when you are outside alone? I’m afraid that if one is not careful, you will be sold.”
Lin Shu: “???”
Miss, I’m not stupid.
I can hear you beating around the bush and indirectly calling me stupid.
Although he was said to be stupid, but this way, it proved that Big Miss had some other meaning in her words.
He had a bold idea.
He held out his hand towards Ling Fengxiao’s waist.
The two were very close, so this action was always being presumptuous.
When his fingertip was about to touch the gold embroidery on the side waist of Big Miss’s clothes, the Big Miss said: “It hurts.”
Lin Shu was suffocated.
Big Miss, Cousin was injured in this place, so why do you hurt?
He said, “You are...”
He felt it was a bolt from the blue.
Cousin has a problem with spiritual power going out of control, and so does Big Miss.
Cousin will catch his hand when he tries to pull it back, and Big Miss also does that.
Cousin’s blade skills are superb, and so are Big Miss’s skills with the blade.
Cousin partly wears red, and Big Miss also wears red.
Cousin knows Nirvana Life, and so does Big Miss.
Then now, prove it with the method of contradiction.
If Big Miss and Cousin were not the same person, then Big Miss would not have a wound on her side, and would not say it hurts when he was about to touch it.
But Big Miss said it hurts.
Therefore, Big Miss and Cousin are the same person.
There was no problem with this reasoning, but the outcome was hard to believe.
Lin Shu’s whole body was dumbfounded.
Big Miss smiled and asked: “Do you understand?”
“I...” Lin Shu said with difficulty, “I understand.”
——So when Cousin finally gave me a hairpin, said goodbye, and told me to take care of myself, was he just too involved in the play?
And that night——that night!
Cousin came to his room, said goodbye, and pretended to leave. In fact, he just went back to his room to remove the Xuanjue Bone Formation Arts and the effect of the Illusion Pill, and then he changed back to his original appearance——then put on makeup in the morning, and said: “Long time no see.”
Long time no see, yeah right.
Cang Min also said that in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of Zhaoye’s hooves. Zhaoye probably just came by itself, right? There was no one on its back!
There was also the cat that knows everything but says nothing.
How come the cat did not follow Cousin when he left?
——Because Cousin didn’t leave at all.
Lin Shu felt that he needed to calm down.
He felt unable to calm down.
“It’s good that you understand,” Big Miss seemed to sigh. “If you don’t understand, it’s a troublesome thing.”
“You...” Lin Shu organized the language with difficulty and said, “it’s really not easy.”
Acting. Also in a play, a woman disguised as a man is also a common storyline. People must learn to accept reality.
But still, to think that she can act so realistically!
Big Miss, just what kind of creature are you?
“It’s just the surface appearance,” Big Miss said, “it doesn’t make any difference to me whether I’m a man or a woman.”
Lin Shu thought about it and thought it was true.
It is true that Big Miss’s character was not like that of an ordinary girl. Although she has a beautiful face, it has nothing to do with the words “delicate” and “fragile”. In fact, it is not too difficult to dress up as a man.
He said, “Why didn’t you say it?”
He looked very calm on the surface, but in reality, in his heart he wanted to hit a certain someone, and also wanted to hit a certain cat.
Big Miss said: “I originally thought, it’s so obvious, you won’t miss it.”
Lin Shu: “?”
Big Miss sighed and then said, “I never thought that you wouldn’t be able to see it. I was thinking, I want to see when this little thing can sense that something’s wrong.”
Lin Shu: “...”
The feeling of heart attack.
He said: “Your acting is so realistic.”
Missy said: “The situation was forced, I have to be realistic.”
Lin Shu thought that Big Miss really took great pains in order to catch Lord Kunshan.
He suppressed the desire to beat a person and a cat, and said, “You have worked hard.”
“It’s okay,” Big Miss said softly, “you understand it.”
———–
The author has something to say: he doesn’t understand. The reason he was able to guess that you’re Cousin is because of the calmness stat bonus from Sword Pavilion’s meditation skill. Brother Shao, look at reality.
