Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 293 - 75: New Edition of White Snake (Part 2)

Fairy Wangshu picked it up, and Xiaohua’s size just fit her palm. At this moment, Xiaohua was moving around Fairy Wangshu, seemingly looking for the perfect place to settle.

Fairy Wangshu was not shy at all, even lifting it above her head. Xiaohua seemed to like this elevated position, lying prone upon Fairy Wangshu’s bun, like a jade-white hairpin, with a pure white flower blooming at its end, adding another lively touch to Fairy Wangshu’s beauty.

In the Jade Ring Pool, You Su had been so thoroughly tricked by the little white fish and the hidden waters that it was hard for him to trust any other creatures in that water. So, he said seriously:

"Senior Sister, tomorrow I’ll accompany you to find the Eleventh Elder and ask him to personally form a contract between you."

The Eleventh Elder was that Grand Elder of the Profound Sky Sect who was proficient in the Path of Beast Taming. It was said he owned a divine beast with power equivalent to a human cultivator of the Void Realm. A beast taming contract formed by his own hand would surely guarantee Xiaohua wouldn’t do anything unfavorable to Senior Sister.

"No."

Fairy Wangshu decisively shook her head in refusal, even tilting her head slightly, as if worried that You Su might take Xiaohua away.

"Xiaohua won’t do bad things. I can feel it. There’s no need for a contract like that."

What You Su didn’t know was that if Fairy Wangshu had to choose the one Elder she disliked the most among the thirteen Grand Elders of the Profound Sky Sect, she would definitely choose the Eleventh Elder. It was because she seemed to have an innate affinity with all living creatures, and even though the spiritual beasts on Beast Taming Peak lived well, not a single one wasn’t constrained by a contract or other restriction techniques, curbing their nature. She was helpless about this and often secretly let spiritual beasts loose, causing trouble, which gave the Eleventh Elder a headache. He had already placed her on the Beast Taming Peak’s blacklist.

You Su considered this and thought it made sense; his Senior Sister’s Pure Heart could distinguish good from evil. There must be a reason she was so close to Xiaohua.

Besides, this spiritual beast was too extraordinary, and he didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention from the Eleventh Elder. If it involved the little white fish, his identity would also become suspicious.

"Alright, let’s go with what Senior Sister says," You Su really couldn’t bring himself to refuse this young girl.

"Thank you, Junior Brother."

Fairy Wangshu thanked him again. Usually very graceful, she seemed to have her true nature freed in front of You Su. She held Xiaohua in her arms, gently spinning around like a blooming white plum blossom.

But as she spun, her drenched clothes spattered droplets of liquid. You Su wiped the slippery substance off his face, feeling as if his mood had been infected by his Senior Sister, bringing joy.

...

While You Su continued to enjoy the peace of Lotus Peak, Ji Xueruo, wearied from travel, finally arrived at Yongning City on the Central Continent’s border.

This was home to the largest port in the entire Central Continent, where the world’s largest ships docked.

The Divine Feather Ship, towering like a moving castle on the sea, approached the shore, seemingly announcing the arrival of this man-made marvel, emitting a deep and thunderous roar.

Ji Xueruo stood in the teahouse by the dock, looking at this giant ship and the distant, unseen East Japan Continent, feeling oddly melancholic.

When she left, she had promised Ms. Liou that if she didn’t return in a year, the clan leader position would be transferred. Unexpectedly, it took her less than a month to acquire the Lotus Heart.

But this one month felt far longer to her than a year.

Reflecting on the bits and pieces of the illusion, Ji Xueruo found it hard to recall every moment in detail, remembering only some vivid details like pearls nestled in the sand, engraved in her memory.

"It’s really time to go back..."

For some reason, a blush crept onto her face as she cursed under her breath about someone she couldn’t forget. She then adjusted the veil she wore.

To return to the clan discreetly and unavoidably, she used her unrivaled art of disguise. Not only did her appearance change into that of a completely different person, but she also wore a veil to mask any demon aura and dressed in a white gown unfamiliar to her usual attire.

Throughout her journey, she had not been questioned about her demon race status; people merely saw her as an ordinary female cultivator. Ji Xueruo felt secretly proud, convinced that even her own sister wouldn’t recognize her.

Although the Divine Feather Ship seemed close, there was still some distance, its proximity an illusion due to its enormous size. Moreover, docking such a large ship was no easy task.

To pass the time, Ji Xueruo poured herself another pot of tea and then took out a book from her bosom. The cover bore large characters: "New Edition of White Snake."

Indeed, Jade Ring Pool was situated to the east of Central Continent, and Ji Xueruo didn’t need much time to get to the far eastern Yongning Port.

She had actually detoured, first going to Chuyun City before heading to Yongning Port.

Her purpose in visiting Chuyun City was to hand over her rewritten ending of The Legend of the White Snake to the owner of a bookstore there.

You Su’s book had already become a sensation across the Five Continents, and the owner had made a fortune from it, his bookstore becoming the most magnificent building in Chuyun City.

When Ji Xueruo handed him the book, he, eager for more as ever, didn’t doubt it at all, thinking it was another new edition brought by You Su’s junior sister.

After reading it, the owner simply stroked his goatee, casting a meaningful look at Ji Xueruo:

"Your senior brother... has become conservative, hasn’t he?"

Ji Xueruo resisted the urge to wreck the bookstore, replying softly, "There has been much criticism of the original story’s ending among the populace, so my senior brother amends the previous flaws, creating a truly great work by revising the conclusion."
