"Master," the dew on Pei Yunshu's eyelashes dripped onto the side of Venerable Wuwang's face, "Would you like to give it to your disciple?"
Venerable Wuwang felt his whole body was cold, as if a cold wind was whistling from his body. His fingers were frozen stiff. He was on the brink of life and death, as if he was reborn and then reborn.
He gradually regained consciousness and awareness, his eyes were indifferent as he looked at Pei Yunshu, but there was still pain buried deep under the floating ice.
"There are many monsters imprisoned in that tower," said Venerable Wuwang. "The most recent ones imprisoned there are a dragon and a fox."
Pei Yunshu's hand that was hooked around Venerable Wuwang's neck trembled. He wanted to say something, but the next moment he was carried to the shore by his master. His master was soaked in water, with his black hair scattered behind him in a mess. His face was as cold as ice, revealing the otherworldliness of an immortal.
The water on his body slid down his clothes, and the water on his hair was also absorbed by his clothes. The wind was cold in the forest, but Pei Yunshu's face was unusually red.
He had a thin skin, so even that little bit of red would spread from the sides of his face to the corners of his eyes and even to the white jade tips of his ears.
The master was soaking in ice water, looking at him on the shore, and suddenly a trickle of blood flowed from his lips.
He closed his eyes and said to Pei Yunshu: "If you want this tower, you can exchange it for something else."
The blood slid down his chin. Pei Yunshu took out a wet handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it off for him bit by bit. Every move he made was filled with endless care and tenderness. "What does Master want?"
The master's cold lips moved a few times, he looked at Pei Yunshu deeply, and said: "It's up to you to decide."
*
Pei Yunshu was carried back to the room by his master.
The burning sensation had subsided, the water stains on his body had been removed, and the master gently placed him on the bed. When he left, he had held Pei Yunshu's hand, which was still trembling, but now it was as steady as an iron palm.
After he left, the room returned to silence. Pei Yunshu got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
This water was much more comfortable than the cold pond. Pei Yunshu sank to the bottom of the pool without taking off his clothes, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.
It was not until Qing Yue Jian couldn't help but come to the water to poke him that he came to his senses and stood up from the water.
What does Master want
Natural resources and treasures from the earth. Every magical weapon presented to these disciples that day made people ecstatic. What kind of natural resources and treasures could the master lack
Qing Yuejian pushed Pei Yunshu to the bed from behind, silently urging him to go to bed quickly. Pei Yunshu's thoughts were interrupted, he found it funny, he got on the bed but did not sleep, instead he sat cross-legged in meditation.
Just one night passed, and the next day, he woke up from his sleep.
He was already lying on the bed, curled up, with a thin quilt covering him.
Part of her black hair had already fallen to the ground. When Pei Yunshu stood up, the quilt slipped off.
When did he become so sleepy
But the comfort after a good sleep also made her spirits better. The sun had risen outside the house, and the boy was watering the spiritual plants. Pei Yunshu walked out of the room, watched quietly for a while, and then took the bucket from him, "This flower cannot be watered too much."
The little boy cried out "Ah!" and said embarrassedly, "Brother, I saw it wrong."
"I'll do it." Pei Yunshu scooped a spoonful of water and carefully watered the spiritual plants in the yard. These flowers and plants were quite spiritual. After the dew was sprinkled on them, they stretched their bodies and became particularly lively.
After watering the spiritual plants, Pei Yunshu looked up and saw a sound transmission note flying in front of him. He reached out to catch it, and his senior brother's voice came from it, "Junior brother, please go down the mountain. Senior brother has something to give you."
*
Pei Yunshu flew to the foot of the mountain on his sword, and before he got close, he saw Yun Cheng standing at the foot of the mountain.
There was a golden cage at Yuncheng's feet. Pei Yunshu put down his sword and said, "Senior Brother."
The second senior brother raised his eyes, and a smile appeared in his dark eyes, "Junior brother."
When he got closer, Pei Yunshu could see clearly what was in the cage beside his feet. It was a brown fox, but the fox didn't look very smart. After seeing him, its amber eyes stared at him blankly, looking stupid and silly.
When the second brother saw that his eyes were on the fox in the cage, the smile on his face deepened, and he said in a gentle voice, "I was afraid that you would be too lonely on Santian Peak, so I caught a fox to entertain you."
This fox is very similar to the one he killed. If his junior fellow apprentice sees it, he will probably like it.
Pei Yunshu walked in and squatted in front of the cage. He reached out to stroke the yellow fox's ears, but the fox just stared at him without blinking. Pei Yunshu smiled, "It doesn't look smart at all, but it's a little cute."
He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Cheng, "Thank you, Second Brother."
This was the first time he smiled at Yun Cheng in the past few days. Yun Cheng's heart was slightly moved, his eyes softened, and he reached out to touch Pei Yunshu's hair.
The black hair was soft and smooth. Pei Yunshu did not move, but looked at the fox in the cage.
The fox, on the other hand, had a look of astonishment in its eyes. This human-like emotion made it stand out from the other foxes.
Pei Yunshu stretched out his hand and covered the fox's clean eyes.
The hand on his hair was finally removed. Pei Yunshu lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Brother, do you know what the Grandmaster likes?"
The second senior brother was startled, "Grandmaster?"
"I live here at Master's place. Master has taken good care of me," Pei Yunshu said. "Last time, he gave me a heavenly grade magic weapon. I feel uneasy and want to give Master something in return."
Yun Cheng frowned and thought carefully.
The master practiced the ruthless way, and he took care of Yun Shu so much, probably because of the relationship between them as "fellow disciples". He didn't know what the master liked, but he knew Yun Wang liked worldly things.
It’s interesting to think about it. Yun Wang likes the mundane world and is full of human affection, but the master is spotless and seems to have no emotions.
"Master is very knowledgeable, why don't you go to the mortal world and take a look," Yun Cheng said, "If there are some new and interesting things, I'm sure Master will like them."
"If you want to go down the mountain, I will accompany you."
Pei Yunshu stood up, picked up the cage and placed it on the Qingyue Sword, letting it carry the cage to the mountain. He then nodded gently towards Yuncheng, "Then let's go down the mountain together, Brother. Are you free today?"
The fox was carried away and suddenly began to howl, each howl becoming sharper and more shrill than the last.
Yun Cheng frowned and looked in the direction of the fox.
But before he could think, Pei Yunshu covered his ears.
This light covering naturally couldn't block anything, but Yun Cheng's train of thought was interrupted. He shifted his gaze from the fox to Pei Yunshu.
Pei Yunshu's expression was indifferent, as if he had done something ordinary, but the hand covering his face was warm and had a faint fragrance.
"Brother," he said slowly, "don't bother with the fox."
Junior Brother Yun Shu had never taken the initiative to get so close to him at this arm's length. Yun Cheng raised his hand and held the hand of his junior brother on the side of his face. His Adam's apple rolled and he whispered, "Whatever Junior Brother says is what it is."
Pei Yunshu smiled and withdrew his hand. The Qingyue Sword just flew back. He stepped on the sword first and headed down the mountain.
Yun Cheng followed behind him, his black eyes becoming brighter and brighter. He looked at Pei Yunshu's back without taking his eyes off for a moment.
Pei Yunshu stood for a while, seemed tired, and sat cross-legged on the sword.
His back was straight, but his face was extremely pale, which no one could see.
The hands on his legs were shaking in his sleeves. He lowered his eyes to look at the trembling hands and couldn't help but sneer. It turned out that he was not only afraid of snakes, but also afraid of his senior brother.
I originally thought that I just disliked it, but now I understand that it’s not dislike, it’s fear.
Pei Yunshu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands over and over again. He put the handkerchief away only when his palms turned red. By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, his palms had returned to their original state.
He and his second brother were walking in the street. The street was bustling with people, but what did they need to exchange the Demon-Suppressing Tower from their master
*
It was not until the sun set in the west that Pei Yunshu returned to Santian Peak.
The little boy took the thing from his hand and said, "Brother, the fox that Qingyue Sword sent up before was placed in the room, but it doesn't eat or drink, and keeps crying. What should we do?"
Pei Yunshu paused, "But in my room?"
After seeing the little boy nod, Pei Yunshu picked up a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and gave it to him, "Eat it yourself."
He picked up another one and went into the room.
As soon as he entered the door, the imprisoned fox grabbed the cage and looked at him eagerly.
It must have cried, the fur around its amber eyes was completely wet and there was water in its eyes. It was really a crying fox.
Pei Yunshu walked to the cage and simply sat on the ground. He lifted up his clothes, put the roast chicken aside, and opened the golden cage.
The moment the cage was opened, the fox jumped out. Pei Yunshu originally thought it was going to escape, but it jumped into his arms and started sobbing again.
Pei Yunshu was surprised, and then laughed, "How can you cry like this?"
He stroked the fox's fur gently. The fox must have felt comfortable with his touch as it purred comfortably. When he touched its tail, he found that the ordinary tail had turned into two.
Pei Yunshu touched its two tails with a slight surprise, smiling, "It's still an unusual fox."
The fox looked at his smiling face, and its eyes, still filled with golden beads, became dazed again. After a while, it raised its paws to cover its face, while its two flexible tails gently wrapped around Pei Yunshu's wrist.
Pei Yunshu held it in his arms and tore off the lotus leaves on the roast chicken. The aroma of meat spread out, and the fox gobbled it up voraciously in the aroma. Pei Yunshu leaned against the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and looked relaxed.
Pei Yunshu opened his eyes only when the fox finished eating the roast chicken and hooked the corner of Pei Yunshu's clothes with its claws.
He blinked away his tiredness, wet his handkerchief with water and wiped the fox's hands and mouth. After the fox was clean, he touched its ears and said, "Since you are staying here, I will give you a name."
The fox began to stare at him blankly again, and there was something sad in his look.
Pei Yunshu thought he had seen it wrong. He stood up holding the fox. It was dark outside, but the bright moon had risen.
His heart moved, "Then how about calling you Chongyue?"
The fox shook his head.
Pei Yunshu pondered for a while and said, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, so I'll call you Feng Gao."
As he was talking, he started laughing.
The fox suddenly jumped out of his arms, pointed at a flower, and turned around anxiously.
Pei Yunshu looked at him and then looked at the flower.
A feeling of sadness suddenly filled his heart, his eyes felt sore, and tears appeared in an instant, but were forcibly suppressed by Pei Yunshu.
"Okay," he said, "I'll call you Huayue then."
