Perhaps because he had experienced death once before, Xia Qiu's attention had turned to some unimportant issues before he knew it, and his body naturally relaxed. Then a miracle happened. She felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and she felt like she was floating. She tried to control her body to change direction and maintain balance a few seconds before landing, and finally she was able to use both hands. Feet on the ground.
At this time, Ouyang Xueye shouted to her from the purple cloud: "Now fly up yourself and try it!"
Although she was still a little doubtful about whether she could fly up such a high distance, her feet had already kicked off the ground hard. The sense of balance she had been forced to form during the descent now took effect. She really flew up, as lightly as when she first saw the jade cicada flying down from the second floor of the tea house.
Seeing Xia Qiu landing steadily on the platform, Ouyang Xueye said to her with a wicked smile: "Haha, how does it feel to fly in this world?"
"How did I get there?!" Xia Qiu asked with her eyes widened, still not quite believing what just happened.
"Of course I taught you this!" Ouyang Xueye replied proudly.
"But you didn't teach me anything!" Xia Qiu carefully recalled everything that happened in the past few days, and was even more sure that Ouyang Xueye never gave him anything.
"Only what can be seen with the eyes is considered teaching? These days, I have ordered the Elk Fairy to put redbud in the tea and juice you drink, in every dish you eat, and even in the bath water you use. The flowers blooming on the antlers of elk. Don’t you know? The spiritual power contained in each flower will accumulate to become a huge source of spiritual power. When you first came here, let alone training, even everything If you don't do it, you will feel tired, and how can it have any good effect? Now, your training should officially begin!" At this point, Ouyang Xueye suddenly put away the bright smile on his face, and his tone became serious. stand up.
Elk Immortal, who was also standing on the platform, nodded while looking at Xia Qiu, because he was also considered an accomplice in this plan. Ever since Xia Qiu came to the Infinite Heaven, he had followed Ouyang Xueye's instructions to pick the flowers from the redbud elk antlers for her, process them, and secretly give them to her for use.
"Thank you!" Xia Qiu said gratefully to Elk Fairy and Ouyang Xueye. The feeling of being able to fly again was indescribable to her in any words.
"Let's have a competition! Let's see who can fly to that busy shopping street first, what do you think?" Ouyang Xueye suggested, and as soon as he finished speaking, he led Xia Qiu to fly towards the roof.
Xia Qiu was not very good at controlling the direction and lifting in the air, so it took a little effort for her to fly from the platform to a certain height and then return to the roof. The view from the roof was wider than that from the platform. The horses, elk, cattle and sheep that were grazing in front of her had turned into balls of hair the size of a palm. Just looking at them scattered on the green grass made her feel like that. cute.
"Are you ready?" Ouyang Xueye asked facing the wind blowing from the roof.
"Yeah!" Xia Qiu nodded.
"Then let's set off!" Ouyang Xueye said, taking a few steps and then flew out from the roof.
Xia Qiu followed him and flew higher and higher, and those palm-sized fur balls finally became only the size of pearls. The wind whistled past her ears, and being in the high altitude made her mind calm. At this time, a small figure flew towards her, its pure white wings trying hard to move the small body like a snowball, When she saw it, it turned out to be Xiaolibai.
Ouyang Xueye didn't care at all that Xia Qiu was still a beginner when it came to flying in this world. He was flying faster and faster, minding his own business. Even though the shopping street was close at hand, he was still changing altitude and direction. Xia Qiu had no choice but to follow him. At first, it was quite difficult to control the balance of her body. The abrupt changes in direction made her almost fall from high altitudes several times. However, as her proficiency and adaptability continued to improve, she gradually found some control. Feel. In the boundless heaven, although flying relies on spiritual power and body, it also relies on will. When the will becomes firm, the body will become much more relaxed.
She began to immerse herself in the joy of flying, but Ouyang Xueye fell towards the shopping street at this time. He took her to a restaurant and said to her: "Let's have something to eat first, and then we will continue!"
There were only two guests in the restaurant. When Xia Qiu saw it was Yuchan and Datou, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why are you two here? And why are you together?"
"The island owner, Ouyang Xueye, invited us here. He said that you will be even busier from now on, so let's take some time to meet and talk to you!" Yu Chan said with a smile.
"Xiao Qiu, isn't it amazing? I can't fly like you!" Da Tou extended his thumb towards Xia Qiu in admiration.
"Waiter, bring over the most delicious dishes, as well as the jar of wine I kept here. Everyone except Xia Qiu can have a little!" Ouyang Xueye said happily.
Xia Qiu looked at him and shook his head. His drunkenness was very similar to that of Wang Yue. In the past few days since she came to Infinite Heaven, Ouyang Xueye would get drunk almost every night. Sometimes he would even lie down on the platform and fall asleep, which made her a little worried that he would fall from it while drunk. on the ground.
How could she understand his loneliness and sorrow? Death separated him from his wife, and he would continue to live in this world without her. The feeling that every day seemed like years had made him numb. The endless pain deep in the soul can only be numbed by alcohol. Although it can only work for a short time, the heartache will return after waking up. But even so, it was good for him. At least he could sleep peacefully, and maybe have a sweet dream, dreaming of her quiet and elegant face smiling at him, or looking into her arms like a child. Ouyang Xiaolen made a face.
Another thing that made him heartbroken was their son Ouyang Xiaoleng. For the past sixteen years, he had been speculating day and night about what kind of demon king fox he would grow into. But Xia Qiu's words confirmed all his bad guesses. Although she tried her best to hide many things, how could she hide it from him, a fox, with her little tricks
His hatred for Qingyun and his guard against those seeking power in the royal city made his son melancholy, withdrawn and unable to reveal his heart. He is the exact opposite of his younger self, and naturally lacks a lot of the happiness he once had when he was young. Fortunately, he had a blood pact maker like Xia Qiu, and he became friends with the other two teenagers because of her. Her appearance must have changed him a lot.
"Yuchan, what do you usually do on this island?" Xia Qiu asked curiously.
"I don't really like eating, drinking, and doing nothing like other dead souls all day long, so I opened a singing and dancing school in my house. It's called a school, but it's free of charge. I mean, there's no charge. It’s more like a place where everyone gathers,” Yuchan said with a smile.
"Where's Da Tou? What have you been doing these days?" Xia Qiu turned to Da Tou and asked.
"I am one of the other dead souls that this girl just mentioned. I have been eating, drinking and having fun these days. I finally escaped from the sea of suffering and came to this place where the gods stay. At least let me enjoy it for a few days!" Datou touched his own. Big Head, replied sheepishly.
"Don't just talk about us, talk about you! What do you think of this place?" Yu Chan asked Xia Qiu.
"Well, I spend most of the time with Elk Xian, the housekeeper of Ziyunju. He is a very kind old man and teaches me many things. I really like this place, but..." Xia Qiu hesitated. .
"But you have to go back! Remember, no matter how beautiful everything here is, it is all illusory. There is only happiness here, but no happiness and satisfaction. I even miss the place where I lived with my parents in Dongyao That dilapidated house, from my house is the lake of Dongyao, where I met the young master." Yuchan said with eyes rippling like autumn water and tears.
She began to miss her parents, as well as the young master Qianqi who still regarded her as her younger sister even though their status was very different from hers. Of course, there was also the young demon king fox Ouyang Xiaoleng whom she had longed for. After arriving in the Infinite Heaven, she found that people here would gradually forget the past. Those painful feelings seemed to be subtly being eliminated from her body, but similarly, the throbbing in her heart no longer existed.
She hated this feeling, because it seemed like she had truly become a dead soul. The reason why she opened a school to teach singing and dancing to dead souls was because she wanted her life not to lose its purpose and focus, but the arrival of Xia Qiu made her Let her truly come back to life.
Being able to get together with Yuchan and Datou, Xia Qiu was grateful to Ouyang Xueye for his arrangement. He was much more delicate and considerate than he seemed on the surface. After saying goodbye to Yuchan and Datou, she thought she would fly back to Ziyun Residence with Ouyang Xueye, but who knew that he didn't let her do so.
Ouyang Xueye's ideas were always beyond her expectations. He said as if on a whim: "Let's go back on horseback!"
Xia Qiu could only nod and said: "Okay!"
"I heard you said that your mount was the Green Cui that Su Su once rode in the demon world. That was a good horse! Let me think about whether any of my horses are similar to it!" Ouyang Xueye finished speaking. Start thinking.
"Your horse?" Xia Qiu asked puzzledly.
"What? Didn't I say that? All the horses, redbud elk, cattle and sheep owned by Ziyun Residence are raised by me." Ouyang Xueye said lightly.
"So many?!" Xia Qiu recalled that there were more than 500 horses in Ziyun Residence alone, and then began to wonder how he could summon the horses here. Could it be the same as in the demon world? What is the summoning secret word
"Yes! I thought of a very good horse, just right for you!" Ouyang Xueye suddenly said with enlightenment.
Then he stretched out a hand, and two horse flutes suddenly appeared in his palm. The flutes were made of nickel silver. It was hard to imagine that the dead souls in the infinite heaven had mastered such high-end alloy technology. The flutes are engraved with different totems and symbols.
He handed one to Xia Qiu and said: "This horse flute can summon the spirit horse called Dragonfly. It is very similar to Qing Cui in terms of size and personality, but she is not pure white. Dragonfly is green all over, only The top of the horse's mane and tail are black and very beautiful. As long as you blow its unique horse whistle, it will immediately gallop to you, no less than a demon horse. Come on, give it a try!"
Xia Qiu put the horse flute to her lips and blew it hard, but no sound came out.
"Girl, don't use so much force! Come on, look like me!" Ouyang Xueye corrected, then put the horse flute in his hand to his lips, and gently blew out the air from the gap between his lips. With a nice sixtuplet sound, the jade-colored spirit horse that Xia Qiu had seen before came running over from a distance like a cloud and a mist.
