With her bare hands she pushed open the door to the secret realm, and the night wind, carrying the scent of the sea, poured into the entire corridor.
Lian Youyou closed her eyes and stood quietly in the sea breeze, her hair gently brushing across her face. Who would have thought that she, Lian Youyou, had a bloody smell on her body that made her nauseous? This fresh sea breeze not only blew away the fishy smell on her body, but also took away the stench of corpses that had accumulated in her heart.
She slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her was a sea of stars. Under that huge canvas of stars, a wisp of green smoke curled up, floating gently in the moonlight, and turned into a cute little fish, swimming freely in the night.
Lian Youyou stared at the green smoke quietly for a while, stepped out of the threshold, turned around and looked at the dilapidated cottage in front of her. Although the cottage was dilapidated, it was a stand-alone house standing on the cliff by the sea, and it really had an unbeatable sea view.
She thought for a moment and patted the door frame of the secret realm: "Give me a recliner."
There was a creaking sound from the door, and a recliner slowly emerged from the wall next to the door frame. The recliner was different from ordinary recliners in that it had four legs.
"Puff!" It was completely vomited out, and it staggered out of the door frame, staggering towards the stars at the end of the cliff. It seemed like it had been lying down for too long and had not yet adapted to walking, or like an old dog that had drunk too much alcohol, walking crookedly as if it would fall down at any time.
Lian strolled forward leisurely, her footsteps lightly on the soft grass on the cliff. The sound of waves came with the wind, "哗-哗-" rushing towards the shore, and then turned into a white line and retreated back into the dark deep sea.
At the end of the cliff, there is a broken rattan chair and the soul of a crazy woman.
The recliner stumbled to the side of Sanniang's broken rattan chair and lay down, as if he had finally arrived there and quickly lay down to rest for a while.
Sanniang glanced with a hint of surprise, and a white figure came into her sight. Along with the sea breeze came the unique lotus fragrance of Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou dragged the recliner over and lay down lazily, propping her face with one hand and looking at Sanniang: "If you don't mind, I'll come and enjoy the sea breeze too."
Sanniang looked at her for a while, then looked away and continued to smoke her pipe on the old rattan chair.
"Inhale—Exhale—"
Time seemed to slow down in the curling green smoke, and there was only the gentle sound of waves in the quiet night. Looking up at the starry sky, it seemed that you could still hear the whispers among the stars.
"You smell so good..." Sanniang looked at the waves, "Unlike me, I still need to use cigarettes to cover up the fishy smell..."
Lian Youyou closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, then raised her lips and smiled faintly: "Do you know why the perfume came from?"
"kindness?"
Lian Youyou slightly opened her eyes, her dark eyes reflecting the blue starlight: "When a baby is born, it has a milky fragrance. When a girl is young, her body also has a fragrance, but after getting married and having children, this fragrance becomes weaker and weaker. As she gets older, she gradually develops body odor. This is where perfume comes from. The fragrance is to cover up the odor."
"Pfft, I believe you when you said perfume is used to cover up odor, but do you need it too?" Sanniang glanced at Lian Youyou, "What kind of god are you? You smell so good... Are you the god of flowers?"
Lian Youyou raised her hands, her pale hands reflected in the night, her ten fingers pinched off the starlight: "These hands have killed millions of demon soldiers, destroyed abyss beasts, beheaded cosmic monsters, and chopped off ancient gods. Tsk... The reason why I smell good is to cover up the blood left on my hands by these things..."
Sanniang stared at Lian Youyou's dull expression, blinked, turned away and sneered: "Tsk, you're just kidding. Anyway, every god who comes to the earth must keep their identity secret. How can they be so high-profile as you? I've lived for so many years and I've never seen Goddess Guanyin."
"Who are you?" Lian Youyou supported her face with one hand and looked at Sanniang with a smile.
Sanniang was stunned.
Lian Youyou continued to laugh: "Many people are like you. If there are gods and Buddhas, why don't you let me see them? But who are you? The gods and Buddhas are so free, why would they come to see you?"
"Puchi. Hahaha—" Sanniang laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled, "Huh—you're really interesting. I like it."
Lian Youyou turned back and sat up slightly. She patted the armrests, and the backrest of the recliner began to rise so that she could look out at the sea under the night sky: "Is this your home?"
Sanniang narrowed her beautiful eyes and took a puff of cigarette: "Hmm..."
Lian Youyou looked at Sanniang's suddenly calm expression and asked, "Where is your Haizhu?"
"Someone poached her~~~" Sanniang exhaled a puff of smoke, took off one side of her coat casually, lifted up the bellyband on the left side of her abdomen, and saw a scar on her snow-white abdomen.
Lian's eyes fell on the ugly centipede-like scar, and then looked at Sanniang's indifferent expression, feeling a little distressed: "Why do you still keep this scar? You can heal it yourself."
Sanniang put on her clothes, still gazing into the distance: "Of course I have to keep it, to remind myself not to be fooled by men again~~ Don't be stupid again~~" Sanniang slowly raised the pipe, put it to her lips, smiled bitterly, and a few tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
"Tsk, ah—" Lian Youyou sighed with a stuffy feeling in her chest, turned away and supported her face with one hand, "Another nymphomaniac, just like Yu Pingting."
"Yu Pingting?" Sanniang glanced at Lian Youyou.
"Yes, a mortal woman, infatuated with a man, ended up being harmed by that man. I picked her up after you left." Lian Youyou turned back and blinked at Sanniang, "She has a lot of resentment. I have collected it for you. No need to thank me."
Sanniang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and a gleam of light flashed across her eyes: "Have you received the money?"
"I've received it." Lian Youyou raised her lips and smiled mischievously, "Eight Gates, Fu Mingrui, and the Crown Prince, how can I not ask for a sum? I've received 50,000 taels~~~"
"Fifty thousand taels!" Sanniang's beautiful eyes widened immediately, she let out a long breath, turned her face back and slowly lay down, slowly coming back to her senses, "You are really dark enough..."
"Hmph..." Lian Youyou also leaned back on the recliner, "Forty thousand taels were taken by Ai Shuishui, and ten thousand taels were taken by Lord Yao."
"Hehe..." Sanniang laughed, shook her head, took another puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled towards the junction of the sea and the sky, "Great God, tell me, why do good women always meet bad men, and good men... always meet bad women? How does this matchmaker pull the strings? I'm afraid he has been hurt in some way, so he can't stand seeing men and women in love and everyone is happy."
"Hahaha—" Lian Youyou clapped her hands and laughed, "Your idea is great. However, Yue Lao is very popular~~ Well, at least in the fairyland, he is still considered a handsome man. However, Yue Lao is not responsible for matchmaking, that is something that mortals come up with."
"What is Yue Lao doing?" Sanniang turned to look at Lian Youyou in confusion. Lian Youyou said that Fatty Yao was one of the ten most handsome men in the fairy world, so she was no longer surprised when she heard that Yue Lao was a handsome man. (To be continued)
