"Junior brother," Yun Cheng smiled gently, and stretched his clean hand forward again, "Don't be afraid."
The sword he used to open the curtain of the carriage was stained with whose blood, and drops of it were now sliding down the tip of the sword to the ground.
Pei Yunshu felt his whole body trembling. He gritted his teeth, his fingers under his sleeves gripping the wooden board he was sitting on, his feet stuck there, and his internal organs were resisting moving closer to Yuncheng.
The light coming in from outside was so bright, but he felt cold all over.
Time seemed to flow backwards. That day in the yard, Pei Yunshu fell from the bed in a panic. He crawled into the yard, feeling the same bone-chilling cold.
Yun Cheng smiled like this at that time. He held the scabbard behind him and said softly, "Junior brother, don't be afraid."
It was a long time later that Pei Yunshu realized that the gentler Yun Cheng's smile was, the angrier he was.
Just like now.
Yun Cheng's expression became more helpless. He sighed softly and called him again, "Yun Shu."
Pei Yunshu said slowly: "Brother, why are you here?"
Yun Cheng smiled and said nothing, but turned to look at Hua Yue who was huddled in the corner.
Hua Yue finally understood why Pei Yunshu had said that to him. This seemingly bright and upright disciple looked at him as if he were a dead object.
The fox shuddered, and instinctively turned into its original form, snuggling into Pei Yunshu's arms.
Pei Yunshu hugged Huayue subconsciously. The lively fox couldn't stop trembling in his arms. He stroked Huayue's head and looked up at Yunshu with a pleading look in his eyes, "Senior Brother."
Yun Cheng looked at him, silent.
Pei Yunshu pierced his fingernails into the palm of his hand and tried his best to calm down. After a long time, he raised his hand from his wide sleeves and slowly placed it in Yun Cheng's hand.
"Brother," Pei Yunshu looked at him, his five fingers stiff, "Can you not kill it?"
There was no spiritual power in his body, and his fingers were as cold as snow. Yun Cheng finally smiled. He shook his head, grabbed Pei Yunshu's fingers, and led him out of the sedan chair. "Junior brother has begged me like this, why would I kill him?"
Yun Cheng's palms were warm. He gathered his spiritual power and warmed the hands of his fourth junior brother.
The fox in his arms seemed to be turned into wood, not moving at all. There were tears in Huayue's amber eyes, but before they flowed out, they were absorbed by the cloth on Pei Yunshu's body.
Hua Yue felt extremely upset because of the humiliation caused to the beauty, but he only had three tails left. If the beauty had not begged for mercy from his senior brother, these three tails would not have been enough for that hypocritical man to chop off.
Yun Cheng let go of Junior Brother Yun Shu only after his stiff hands were warmed up and softened.
Pei Yunshu put his hands into his sleeves and rubbed his fingers across the surface of his clothes repeatedly. After a moment, he asked, "Second Senior Brother, where are the First Senior Brother and the Third Senior Brother?"
Yun Cheng said: "They are exploring the way ahead."
Pei Yunshu glanced at the bloody sword in his hand, and Yun Cheng caught the glance. He said calmly, "I killed the fox who wanted to marry a wife."
Huayue's whole body stiffened, his fur about to explode. He whimpered and wished he could immediately turn into a jade pendant on the beauty's body. He didn't want to remain in his original form of a fox.
Pei Yunshu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the surroundings. The foxes that were dancing and playing around him had disappeared. The road ahead was covered with thick fog, and behind the fog, tall pavilions could be vaguely seen.
The appearance of this tall building among the mountains and forests seems particularly strange.
The two brothers went forward to look for their fellow disciples, but when Pei Yunshu stepped into the thick fog, hundreds of yellow-haired foxes appeared out of nowhere, chattering and rushing towards Pei Yunshu.
Men and women, young and old, all kinds of voices were saying the same thing, "The groom is dead! The bride needs to throw the bouquet!"
Yun Cheng's face turned cold. He protected Pei Yunshu behind him and drew his sword to kill them. However, when the sword touched the foxes, it seemed to have hit the air. No matter how many times he slashed at them, he did not cause them any harm at all.
Instead, he was pushed out of the fox group. Hundreds of foxes surrounded Pei Yunshu and carried him to the high pavilion behind the thick fog.
Pei Yunshu's hands and feet were firmly fixed and he could not escape. Hua Yue's claws were tightly hooked on his clothes. The man and the fox were carried up to the high building by hundreds of foxes. The fox group was very lively, as if something happy was about to happen.
Huayue tried to communicate with the foxes by calling out a few times, but no one paid any attention to him.
Only after they climbed to the top of the building did the foxes let them go and stuffed a delicate and beautiful red hydrangea into Pei Yunshu's hands.
The chirping fox began to say, "Throw it!"
"Choose a new groom!"
"Go to the wedding hall with the groom!"
They filled the room and Pei Yunshu was blocked in the corridor. He tried to talk to these foxes, but they only repeated these three sentences with dull eyes, like puppets.
Pei Yunshu had no choice but to hold the hydrangea, walk forward a few steps, and look down while holding the railing.
The pavilion had three floors. When Pei Yunshu stuck his head out, he saw many foxes below.
In addition to Hu, his three senior brothers were also standing among them. The eldest senior brother had a calm expression and kept looking up at Pei Yunshu. After Pei Yunshu looked down, the two looked at each other, and he nodded slightly, indicating that Pei Yunshu didn't need to be nervous.
Pei Yunshu lowered her eyes and held the hydrangea tightly in her hands.
If the hydrangea was caught by the fox, he didn't know what would happen. But he saw the scene of Yun Cheng sweeping through the fox group with a sword clearly before, and he thought that if the hydrangea was in the hands of the fox, no matter how the brothers attacked, they would not be able to hurt the fox.
Huayue is so afraid of Zhuyou, if Zhuyou were here, would it be different
Where did Zhu You go
Suddenly, a loud laugh was heard from below. Pei Yunshu came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the laughter. He saw the group of demon cultivators from the Huajin Sect also leisurely walking into the fox group.
Zou Yu, the leader, looked up at him with burning eyes. After Pei Yunshu looked at him, he laughed out loud again, his deep eyes full of love and affection. "What a coincidence, I can see you again in the secret realm."
Yun Man, who was standing below, had a handsome face and frowned. He looked at the demon cultivator with displeasure, "What are you doing here?"
"Since they are holding a bouquet to recruit a husband, why can't I come?" Zou Yu asked back.
"The hall master can still call these monsters' ridiculous tricks a marriage proposal in all seriousness," Yun Man sneered, "Why, you demon cultivators are still thinking of grabbing a bouquet together?"
Zou Yu smiled and said, "Your Excellency is right."
The folding fan in Yun Man's hand instantly revealed the bone spurs, but was stopped by the second senior brother. Yun Cheng glanced at the group of demon cultivators indifferently, "Then everyone, just do your best."
This high pavilion is really strange. Yun Jing just wanted to fly up with his sword, but found that he could not get far from the ground. He could only fly above the foxes. The foxes were even weirder and could not be hurt. It was better to have more people than too few.
Otherwise, if the hydrangea falls into the hands of the fox, what will Fourth Junior Brother do
There was a layer of depression in Yun Man's eyes and brows. He shook his folding fan but said nothing more.
People from both parties stood on both sides, looking at Pei Yunshu. Pei Yunshu found the scene in front of him ridiculous.
He is a man, and he needs to throw the hydrangea under the restraint of the foxes. The people waiting to catch the hydrangea are a group of foxes and a group of men.
The hydrangea in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and was filled with extreme humiliation. Pei Yunshu held the ball tightly and was reluctant to drop it.
There was no one urging them below, even the foxes that had been making so much noise became quiet, and there was complete silence for a moment.
"Junior brother," Yun Cheng suddenly said, "Don't worry, just throw it towards me."
Everyone looked towards Yuncheng.
Yun Cheng raised his lips, standing tall and handsome, "Since Junior Brother needs it, Senior Brother will fully cooperate. Even if we have to get married later, Senior Brother will protect you well."
"Besides, this marriage proposal is naturally a ridiculous fake thing, and Senior Brother will not take it seriously."
After hearing these two sentences, Pei Yunshu's expression relaxed a little.
If they were to throw a hydrangea, no matter it was a fox or a demon cultivator, even if they knew it was fake, they would feel extremely repulsed when they thought of the meaning of the hydrangea.
From this perspective, it would of course be best to throw it to one's own fellow disciples, but the feeling of rejection has not diminished in the slightest.
Pei Yunshu stood on the three-story pavilion, his hair fluttering in the cold wind. Under the thick fog, the eyes of these people with cultivation would not be blocked, but the feeling of seeing flowers in the mist was incomparably wonderful.
The third brother's eyes lit up, and he slammed the fan into his palm with a snap, and said loudly: "Junior brother, you may as well throw it boldly. However, the senior brothers are all here, and they will try their best to catch this red ball of junior brother."
Hua Yue said cautiously: "Yun Shu, don't you want to throw it away?"
Pei Yunshu said nothing.
"The fox is getting married, and you will be able to resume your cultivation after the wedding ceremony," Hua Yue whispered, "Before, I was worried that you would be deceived by the fox groom's beauty and go to Yuanyang. If the one doing the wedding ceremony is your senior brother, then you will be much safer."
Pei Yunshu smiled faintly, and the next moment, he threw the red hydrangea in his hand.
In order to survive, he really endured this. He is really afraid of death.
The fox pack began to boil, and the three people from Yuncheng flew into the air.
Zou Yu raised his chin towards his subordinates and said lazily, "Go ahead. If you don't get the hydrangea back, you can't follow me out of the secret realm."
The author has something to say: Yunshu (laughing): I am really afraid of death.
No, no, no, this is not cowardice, it's heartache QAQ
