They spent two days like this under the cliff. The skin on the Zhuyou snake's tail was unexpectedly difficult to shed, but he did not show the pain-induced dementia he had before, so that Pei Yunshu believed that when a dragon sheds its skin to its tail, it feels almost no pain.
But on the third night, Pei Yunshu woke up from his sleep and suddenly heard a suppressed growl outside.
The roar woke him up. When he walked out of the cave, before he got close to the cold pond, he saw the snake's tail tumbling on the water.
There is also a faint smell of blood.
Pei Yunshu paused for a moment, and held the stone wall with his fingers so hard that his fingertips turned white. When he got closer, he found that the elixirs and spiritual plants placed beside the cold pond were gone. Many of the spiritual plants had been knocked over into the cold pond, and their medicinal properties had been absorbed by the cold pond.
Under the water, the dragon kept rolling.
Pei Yunshu took a step forward, but suddenly felt something wrong under his feet. He looked down and found that it was a piece of pitch-black scales.
Pieces of scales floated on the water, and some were washed ashore by the waves. These scales that grew in the dragon's flesh now looked like weeds that could be found everywhere. At a glance, they were everywhere.
Pei Yunshu squatted down and picked up the scale. The scale felt smooth and thick. He simply sat down on the spot, staring into the distance in a daze, and stayed on the shore with Zhu You in the water all night.
The dragon's healing ability is so good, why didn't he realize it before
It was not until dawn that the underwater dragon slowly calmed down and the water surface gradually returned to its previous state.
Pei Yunshu stood up, covered in dew, and returned to the cave, pretending nothing had happened.
Since it is a secret realm, there must be many precious spiritual plants. He made up his mind that he must find some spiritual plants that can help Zhu You shed his skin during the day. If the pain continues day by day, won’t it torture him to death
*
Zhu You floated on the water, leaning lazily against the stone.
His jet-black hair was scattered on his wet coat. He had a human body and a snake tail. He lived in the deep wild mountains. If he were seen by those who wrote storybooks, they would probably be scared to death.
If he had not seen what happened last night, Pei Yunshu would have really thought that nothing had happened to him. He didn't know whether the pain had really eased during the day or he was forcing himself to endure it. No matter which one it was, Pei Yunshu was a little angry.
Zhu You has saved him more than once, and he is not an ungrateful person. Even though he is a disabled person now, he can still find some spiritual plants that can be beneficial to him. Why didn't Zhu You tell him
Pei Yunshu walked straight towards Zhu You. When Zhu You saw him, his tail began to swing in the water, creating circles of silver ripples. His black vertical pupils, with red flowing in them, stared at Pei Yunshu without blinking.
Facing his eyes, Pei Yunshu could no longer say those words. He tried his best to calm the anger in his heart and said in a calm tone: "I'm going to the forest to find some spiritual plants."
Zhu You: "No."
Pei Yunshu pretended not to hear and turned to leave.
Zhu You suddenly swam to the shore, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him into the water when he was not paying attention. Half of his body suddenly submerged in the water. Pei Yunshu was caught off guard and in panic he hooked his arms around Zhu You's neck tightly.
The snake's tail drooped, swaying excitedly. Zhu You hugged Pei Yunshu and looked down at him, "No."
Pei Yunshu's wet hair stuck to the sides of her face and neck, her eyes were like fiery flowers, her chest was heaving with anger, but she wanted to talk to him calmly, "Why not?"
Zhu You hugged him tightly, making a thin arc around Pei Yunshu's waist, and said with dissatisfaction, "Dangerous."
When this person's hand grabbed his waist, Pei Yunshu realized that he and Zhu You were so close. He quickly loosened his hand that was hooked around Zhu You's neck and tried to push him away, but Zhu You didn't move at all. Pei Yunshu could only lean back as much as he could and pushed Zhu You's chest with both hands, "Let go."
There was a sudden flash in Zhu You's eyes, and Pei Yunshu felt that the skin under his hands suddenly became hot. Not only Zhu You, but the air in this area seemed to start to heat up. The coldness in the cold pond quickly receded, and large patches of water mist rose.
Through the mist, Pei Yunshu saw a flash of red light in Zhu You's eyes.
His intuition told him that something was wrong, and Pei Yunshu struggled with all his might. The moment Zhu You let go of his hand, he swam towards the shore.
His hands had already touched the shore, and before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, warm water wrapped around his hands and feet and pulled him back into the water.
The water was Zhu You's territory. Pei Yunshu was pushed to Zhu You's side by the current. He was now soaked all over, with hot mist covering his body. In the huge lake, he looked like a colorful painting.
Zhu You looked at him quietly, a bottomless red rising from the depths of his eyes. The demonic patterns on the side of his face were so gorgeous that just one glance at them would make one feel fear from the bottom of one's heart.
But Pei Yunshu only took one look at his demon pattern and his whole body became hot and his consciousness began to become blurred, just like the feeling after drinking the black egg that day, except that the sleepiness was gone, and only the skin was gradually getting hot.
He knew something was wrong, and with the last bit of clarity he tried to swim to the shore, but his hands and feet were weak, and he could only stay above water with the help of a candle.
"Zhu You..." He opened his mouth and murmured, but he didn't even know what to say, "Don't..."
Zhu You opened his storage bag and carefully took out a white silk handkerchief from it. He held the handkerchief by the corner with his pale fingers and moved it from in front of his eyes to behind his head to cover his eyes. The person lying in the water could no longer see a thing.
As darkness came, his five senses became more sensitive. Warm waves rushed towards his body. Pei Yunshu's head was confused, and it took him a while to remember why the cold pond had become warmer.
Jiaolong lowered his voice in his ear, and the sound sounded a bit pitiful, "It's uncomfortable."
Of course it will be uncomfortable.
Pei Yunshu thought dully, you pulled out the scales in pain, how could it not hurt
By the way, I also need to go find some spiritual plants for healing before daybreak.
Pei Yunshu moved his fingers, and the silk scarf covered his eyes, but it couldn't hide his confused expression. Zhu You held his face with his hands, and the snake's tail wrapped around Pei Yunshu's calves.
His breath was getting lower and lower, spraying on Pei Yunshu's lips. These lips were shining with water, moist and full, looking more tempting than the honey on the roast chicken. Zhu You lowered his voice and said, "Lick it for me."
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It won't be uncomfortable if you lick it."
*
Pei Yunshu was angry.
It was the first time he was so angry that after running out of the water, he ran into the woods dripping wet, regardless of the water all over his body.
Countless streams of water were flowing around him, trying to block the sharp branches for him. Whichever direction he walked, the water would flow in that direction. Pei Yunshu could see the water flows wherever he looked. Finally, he was so angry that he lowered his head, looked at the ground, and rushed forward regardless of anything.
The water flow didn't dare to stop him when he was angry, so it could only suck the water off his body and follow him to protect him.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Pei Yunshu finally regained some of his sanity. He stayed there for a while, pursing his lips, ignoring the water flows, and planned to find some useful spiritual plants first.
He planted many spiritual herbs and trees in the small courtyard on Wuzhi Peak. During the years he was locked up in the courtyard, Pei Yunshu remembered the appearance and habits of each spiritual plant clearly.
However, some of the spiritual plants with good medicinal properties nearby had been eaten by the monsters that had originally stayed here. Pei Yunshu walked and stopped, and only picked three or four spiritual herbs that could strengthen his spiritual power.
When he reached the end of the cliff, Pei Yunshu looked bit by bit and suddenly saw a white flower blooming in the wind halfway up the mountain.
The flower is as big as a washbasin, with slightly pink petals at the front and pure white at the bottom. It flutters in the cold wind, pure and clean, and as crystal clear as an ice and snow sculpture.
This flower has a particularly sentimental name, called Bailuhua.
Pei Yunshu was extremely surprised. He walked forward carefully, stepping on the huge rocks to pick this rare white lily flower.
Shui Liu wanted to pick it for him, but Pei Yunshu shook his head and refused. He looked at Shui Liu seriously and warned, "Don't touch the water."
The water flow retreated in grievance.
The flower bloomed a little high, but not out of reach. When Pei Yunshu climbed high enough, he took off his coat, wrapped his hands with the corners of his coat, and went to pick this very picky flower.
Fortunately, the roots of the flower were not deep, and Pei Yunshu pulled them lightly, and the whole flower fell on his coat, bringing with it a faint fragrance that rushed to his nose, making him feel refreshed.
Pei Yunshu held the flowers and carefully went down the mountain. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he hurried to see if Bai Lu in his arms was still intact.
"Brother."
A hoarse voice came from behind.
Pei Yunshu was suddenly startled. He turned around hastily and saw Yun Wang sitting on the back of the Taotian Beast, flying in the air, looking down at him.
Yun Wang's face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom, looked as if it had been through a lot of hardships. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were dry and cracked, and his Taoist robe, which should have been white, was stained with dust for some reason, making him look even more miserable than Pei Yunshu.
Yun Wang stared at Pei Yunshu for a full cup of tea before he drove the Taotian Beast down and walked down from it.
"Brother," Yun Wang said in a low voice, "where have you been?"
Pei Yunshu tightened the coat in his arms and nodded at him, "Junior Brother."
But he avoided answering.
Yun Wang's eyes darkened. He walked step by step to Pei Yunshu with a smile on his face. However, after seeing Pei Yunshu clearly, the smile on his face froze and his eyes were fixed on Pei Yunshu's lips. "Brother, what's wrong with your lips?"
Pei Yunshu frowned, raised his hand and touched his swollen and broken lips. He felt a stinging pain and let out a soft "hiss".
"..." Yun Wang clenched his fingers tightly. After a long while, he smiled again, his face as pretty as a lotus and his eyes full of charm. "It turns out that even under the cliff, Senior Brother can still have a good companion."
Although the smile is beautiful, there is something harsh in these words.
Pei Yunshu said coldly: "Junior brother, be careful with your words."
He turned around and tried to leave, but Yun Wang stood in front of him with a gloomy face. The streams of water wanted to attack but were stopped by the Taotian Beast. The Taotian Beast roared to the sky, its golden vertical pupils full of interest.
"Junior brother," Pei Yunshu, "what do you want to do?"
Pei Yunshu had no idea what had gotten him mad again, and fearing that since they were the only two around, his junior brother was not going to pretend to like him anymore.
He was only wearing a clean white undershirt, and looked no different from when he was on Wuzhi Peak, except for his bright red lips, which made people feel angry just by looking at them.
Yun Wang suddenly smiled gently, his eyes sparkling with love, his eyes lively and full of joy, "Brother, was it the dragon that took you away that made your lips like this? Yun Wang is very curious, why don't you take Yun Wang with you, so that Yun Wang can get to know what the legendary dragon looks like."
Pei Yunshu looked at him quietly.
Under the cliff, the moon was bright and the breeze was gentle. He and Zhu You stayed under the cliff for three days. Although they could not use their spiritual power, they felt relaxed and comfortable. Except for Zhu You's occasional...
No matter how much suffering there is, you will feel at ease.
When I saw Yun Wang again, I only felt exhausted.
Pei Yunshu said softly: "Junior brother."
The monstrous beast and the water flow fought against each other, but the water flow was not a candle, and would eventually turn into smoke under the feet of the monstrous beast with fire attribute.
The corner of Yun Wang’s eyes twitched violently.
Pei Yunshu said: "Since you hate me, why bother pretending like this."
A trace of panic flashed across Yun Wang's face, "Brother, how could I hate you?"
Pei Yunshu curled his lips and said no more to him. He was about to go around him and return the same way, but Yun Wang suddenly rushed over from behind and hugged his waist. Although Yun Wang was shorter than Pei Yunshu, he was very strong. "Brother, come back to the sect with me first. Yun Wang will explain it to you."
Without waiting for Pei Yunshu to speak, he took out a pill from his storage bag and stuffed it into Pei Yunshu's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, leaving Pei Yunshu almost no time to resist.
His hands and feet became weak, and he gradually lost the strength to stand. Pei Yunshu gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to throw the clothes in his arms to the trickling water, "Go quickly, don't let the water touch the petals!"
Zhu You hasn't finished shedding his skin yet, but the Bailu flower has miraculous effects on both humans and monsters.
The water flow took on the heaviest pressure in my life, pinching the corners of my coat and rushing through the branches and leaves.
Yun Wang held Pei Yunshu in his arms, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the water, which was dark and difficult to see.
After Pei Yunshu fell into a complete coma, he moved Pei Yunshu onto the back of the Taotian Beast. The Taotian Beast stared into the depths of the forest and roared loudly.
Immediately, a creepy roar was heard from the forest, and a surging wave of water swept all the trees and grass and rushed towards the cliff.
Yun Wang immediately turned over and sat on the back of the Taotian Beast, "Run!"
The monstrous beast leaped into the air and flew towards the cliff.
*
In the cave, the three senior brothers were not there, only a brown fox huddled in the corner.
Yun Wang picked up Senior Brother Yun Shu from the back of the Taotian Beast and gently placed him on the stone bed. He stood beside the bed and lowered his eyes to look at Pei Yun Shu who had fallen asleep.
I heard from my fellow brothers that it was a dragon that took Brother Yunshu away, and the one who just used the water current to chase them must also be that dragon.
Yun Wang reached out his hand, brushed aside the black hair on Pei Yunshu's face, and pinched his chin, making his swollen lips particularly obvious. Yun Wang said to himself, "March cherries are as fresh as when they were first picked."
After saying this, his face darkened.
Taking out the medicine from the storage bag, Yun Wang looked at the lips that seemed like they would crack if sucked with a little force. With a cold look on Zhang Meiren's face, he smeared the ointment on his fingertips and smeared it on Pei Yunshu's lips wantonly.
He used so much force that his lips, which had been kissed to maturity, could not bear the strain. Tiny traces of blood flowed out of the wound, staining half of the ointment red.
Yun Wang looked at the blood and his hands trembled. His movements began to slow down. The milky white ointment gradually turned transparent as he continued to apply it. After applying the ointment to Pei Yunshu, the smell of ointment and blood lingered on Yun Wang's fingers.
Yun Wang put his hand behind his back and looked at Pei Yunshu.
Even though he fell asleep, Senior Brother Yunshu's brows were still furrowed, as if he had something on his mind and couldn't even sleep well.
As Yun Wang watched, he seemed possessed. He bent over and lowered his head to get closer to Pei Yunshu. The aroma of medicine came from the naked man's lips and lingered at his nose.
The layer of transparent ointment made the March cherries look like tender flesh after peeling.
The fox in the corner howled suddenly, startling Yun Wang who was about to go down. Yun Wang stood up suddenly, looking at the naked Pei Yunshu in panic.
What was he trying to do just now
Yun Wang turned around and ran out of the cave, stumbling as if a wild beast was chasing him.
The Taotian Beast opened its eyes and looked at Yun Wang who was running away, then stood up from the ground and walked out.
After there was no one left in the cave, the fox in the corner walked towards the stone bed.
"Beauty," the fox walked to the bedside and whispered to Pei Yunshu, pushing and shaking him with his claws, "Wake up, beauty."
Pei Yunshu was breathing shallowly and did not respond to his call. Hua Yue rolled her eyes a few times and used the remaining magic power to take out a crystal white pill from the storage bag and carefully placed it between Pei Yunshu's lips.
The inner elixir of this April Snow Tree is a great holy object for detoxification and healing. The fox kept chattering, "Beauty, you must return this inner elixir to me when you wake up. The inner elixir of a three thousand year old tree demon is not easy to find."
"Of course, if the beauty and the dragon are willing to let me be your slave, it's not impossible to give the inner elixir of the April Snow Tree to the beauty. I don't know when you will wake up, beauty, we have to escape quickly," the fox sighed and said sincerely, "Your brothers are too scary."
He kept talking to himself and didn't feel lonely at all, which showed that he had been very depressed these days.
As the fox was talking, he suddenly lowered his body and sniffed Pei Yunshu non-stop, letting out a small "wow", "It's all the smell of Lord Jiaolong!"
He moved his head following the smell and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the beauty remembered his words and knew that she must protect her own yang energy in this secret realm of the fox clan.
Lord Jiaolong is truly amazing. He can protect his own essence even when facing the beautiful Yun Shu. Such courage is something that a little demon like him can never match.
Huayue felt a sincere admiration for him.
*
The fox stayed with Pei Yunshu until the sun went down, and Pei Yunshu did not open her eyes. Seeing that Yunshu's senior brothers were about to come back, the fox had no choice but to lean over and whisper in Pei Yunshu's ear: "Beauty, remember, don't open your eyes after you wake up."
He repeated this several times until he heard the sound of a sword flying, and then he moved from the stone bed to the corner.
The next moment, someone flew into the cave. The eldest brother got down from the sword, raised his eyes, and stood there in a daze.
"Junior brother...?"
The people in Shi** seemed not to hear anything. The eldest senior brother walked in with bated breath. It was not until he reached the bed that he really believed that junior brother Yunshu had returned.
Even though Yun Jing was usually taciturn, he couldn't help getting excited at this moment. He stared at Pei Yunshu for a long while before he restrained himself and took out a thin blanket from his storage bag and gently covered Pei Yunshu with it.
After covering Junior Brother Yun Shu with a blanket, Yun Jing sat beside him and picked up the dead leaves on the ground for him. After picking up all the dead leaves, he slowly said, "It's good that Junior Brother is back."
Pei Yunshu closed his eyes and couldn't hear what he said.
Yun Jing didn't feel sad. He focused on depicting the appearance of his junior brother Yun Shu with his eyes, while his other hand gently stroked Pei Yun Shu's black hair.
His black hair spread out below him, making his face look pale. Only his lips were as red as peach petals.
The eldest brother saw it and stood up and said, "Junior brother likes cleanliness. I will go to the pond to get some water for you to wash your face. It is not far from the cave entrance. Junior brother, just wait patiently."
Hua Yue squatted in the corner, muttering in his heart. He had never realized in the past few days that Miss Yun Shu’s senior brother was just like him, a person who could talk to himself.
