The cold scales irritate the skin through the clothing.
Unlike ordinary snakes, the scales on the Jiao's body are more noticeable to the touch and more creepy when they slide on the legs.
Pei Yunshu's scalp tingled, and every sense in his body became extremely sensitive. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to ignore the tail that was slowly crawling up from his feet.
This is not a snake, it's a dragon.
Pei Yunshu repeatedly told himself this in his heart, his voice trembling: "You, you stay away from me."
Zhu You's tail had already wrapped around his thigh. Upon hearing his words, he tightened it reluctantly, and the snake's tail slowly retreated and turned into a human leg again.
He was not naked at the moment. He was still wearing the clothes that Pei Yunshu had given him last time. However, his inner clothes had disappeared somewhere, so he was only wearing his outer shirt, which was loose and his belt was tied in a messy way.
His hair was darker than the night, but his face was strangely handsome. Zhu You looked down at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
As he spoke, cold air blew past. Pei Yunshu did not dare to look at his pale thin lips, fearing that a forked snake tongue would spit out from them. However, looking into Zhu You's scarlet eyes, he also felt like he was looking into the eyes of a wild beast. He whispered, "I'm going to the foot of the mountain to watch the lantern festival."
He had just tied up his hair, which was a little messy and fluttered in the wind. Zhu You was attracted by the moving hair and turned to stare at his hair. "I'll go too."
It must be because he has talked a lot in the past few days. Although Zhu You's voice is still hoarse, it has become much smoother. This small flaw can no longer hide the charm of his voice.
Pei Yunshu didn't know how to refuse. What's more, it was already late. If he delayed any further, who knew if the lanterns would be sold out
He then used the Qingyue Sword and stepped forward first. He turned his head to look at the dishevelled Zhu You and said reluctantly, "Come up."
Zhu You stood behind him. When he flew into the air, his loose coat almost flew away with the wind. With such "carefree and unrestrained" attire, one could imagine how the common people at the foot of the mountain would react to him.
"You transformed into a set of clothes," Pei Yunshu said, "The only clothes in my storage bag are Taoist robes, none of which are suitable for you."
Zhu You frowned and looked at his clothes carefully, step by step from the inside to the outside, he transformed himself into a neat and tidy person. When looking closely, every detail was exactly the same, even his blood-red eyes turned black, the demon pattern was erased, and the small bag on his forehead was covered.
This way, he looks no different from a human being.
Pei Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he suddenly remembered that the gauze he was wearing was the skin shed by the person behind him.
His face was slightly flushed and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but Zhu You did not say anything about it, so Pei Yunshu could only try his best to pretend that nothing had happened.
The Qingyue Sword was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, they saw a bustling scene of lights at the foot of the mountain.
When he stepped into the dim alley, Pei Yunshu looked at the busy street at the entrance of the alley and was unable to move for a moment.
All kinds of lanterns emitted warm yellow light, illuminating the smiles on everyone's faces. Pei Yunshu looked at them for a while before he came to his senses and walked towards the alley.
Zhu You followed beside him, his cold eyes showing no trace of the excitement around him. He glanced around casually for a few times and then turned his gaze back to Pei Yunshu without any emotion.
The expression on Pei Yunshu's face did not change, but his eyes were always looking at the cute lanterns around him and the various people passing by him.
Gradually, a faint smile emerged.
In addition to the lanterns, there are also vendors selling all kinds of things, and the hawking sounds are endless, making people feel like their eyes are not enough.
They walked to a stall, and Zhu You suddenly reached out and grabbed Pei Yunshu.
Pei Yunshu reluctantly turned his eyes away from the lantern. Because he was in a good mood, he looked at Zhu You with a smile in his eyes, "What's wrong?"
The stall owner smiled warmly, "Gentlemen, what do you fancy?"
Zhu You picked up a white headband from his stall, and the stall owner hurriedly said, "This is something refined by the Cang Yue Sect, the world's number one weapon refining sect. Although it is a failed product, the light flowing on the headband is particularly beautiful. If you want it, just give me this amount."
Zhu You moved his hand, and the headband disappeared. The stall owner stared at him with wide eyes: "You—"
The dragon monster looked back at him calmly.
In the mortal world, you need both silver and spirit stones. If the boss has spiritual energy, then give him spirit stones. If the boss is just a mortal, then just give him silver to avoid causing trouble and causing trouble for others.
Pei Yunshu looked at Zhu You's performance and realized that he probably didn't know he had to pay, so he took out some silver from his bag and handed it to the boss.
Zhu You looked at Pei Yunshu's actions thoughtfully. When the two walked away, he asked, "What is that?"
"Silver," Pei Yunshu said seriously, "If you buy something from someone, you have to pay with this."
Junior brother told them yesterday that the place at the foot of the mountain was nothing compared to other prosperous places, but Pei Yunshu felt that it was already exciting enough. Both the people and the objects were scenes he had never seen before.
Even after they finished visiting the lanterns and walked beside the small bridge and flowing water, Pei Yunshu's eyes were still sparkling.
There were also many lotus lanterns in the river. The red lanterns floated away along the river and passed by Pei Yunshu one by one.
Pei Yunshu was looking at the river and the lights, lost in thought, when he suddenly felt someone lift his wrist. He turned his head and saw that the hairband appeared in Zhu You's other hand, and was slowly wrapping it around his right wrist.
Pei Yunshu struggled but couldn't move at all. Zhu You raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes had turned blood red again without him knowing. The moonlight was blocked and the sky was dark with only the lanterns left. His eyes seemed to be shining.
"What are you doing?" Pei Yunshu asked.
Zhu You, "For you."
As he spoke, he had already wrapped the white hairband around Pei Yunshu's wrist. The thin strip of cloth was like a snake, and the beautiful protruding joints on the wrist were also wrapped in it.
Thinking of what the boss said about this being a waste headband, Pei Yunshu suppressed his uneasiness and said, "Zhu You, this is a headband."
Zhu You lowered his eyes and glanced at him.
Pei Yunshu's uneasiness suddenly grew. This time he tried very hard to pull his hand out, but it was of no use.
A drop of water ran across Zhu You's fingertips, and Zhu You's blood dripped onto the headband. The next moment, the ordinary headband seemed to come alive, crawling on Pei Yunshu's arm. After a few seconds, it suddenly disappeared.
The previous premonition came true. Pei Yunshu's arms trembled slightly. Zhu You stretched out his fingertips and gently pushed his clothes.
Pei Yunshu's eyelashes trembled and he also looked at his arm.
The white inner garment and the black gauze were lifted up together, revealing the fair arms in the darkness with a smooth color. The cold fingertips moved upward until the clothes were pushed to the wrists, leaving no trace.
"Where did you go?" Zhu You's voice contained a hint of confusion, whether it was true or not.
Pei Yunshu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, "What's going on with that hairband?"
But before Zhu You answered him, Pei Yunshu felt a burning sensation on the inside of his left thigh.
It was as if the disappeared pattern was imprinted back on his legs.
Pei Yunshu's eyelids twitched and he looked at Zhu You in disbelief.
Zhu You grabbed Pei Yunshu's hand and pulled him closer, "Send something, we're getting acquainted."
Pei Yunshu said that once you get to know each other well, you can lick him.
Pei Yunshu suddenly covered his mouth with his other hand, and the bright red snake tongue touched his hand. He said in an unsteady voice, "Not familiar, not familiar now."
His eyes were wide open, full of fear. He covered his lips tightly, looked at Zhu You in horror, and shook his head continuously.
His black hair became messy, with strands of hair scattered on both sides of his shoulders. Zhu You looked at him, his pupils like a beast staring at its prey, and time passed bit by bit.
"Not familiar with each other?" asked the hoarse voice.
Zhu You's voice was full of confusion.
Pei Yunshu's eyes were already red and watery. He was frightened by the snake's tongue, but he tried hard not to cry. He just kept shaking his head, "It's not familiar yet."
Zhu You lowered her eyes to look at him, and brushed the corners of his eyes with her cold fingertips. "You're crying."
Pei Yunshu's eyelashes trembled, and she could no longer hide her crying voice, "Don't be a snake."
Zhu You tilted his head, and the demonic pattern on his face slowly appeared, "Why don't you want the snake letter?"
"No snake letter," Pei Yunshu did not answer, but just kept crying and shaking his head, "No snake letter."
*
It was not until he was about to reach the Wuzhi Peak that Pei Yunshu stopped this sudden collapse.
His eyelids were hot, the area around his eyes was red and swollen, the tip of his nose was also red from crying, and the redness extended from the corners of his eyes to the tips of his ears. The aftereffects of crying so hard made his voice tremble.
Zhu You held him in his arms, and only let him go slightly after they arrived at Pei Yunshu's courtyard.
It was already late at night, the birds and insects had fallen asleep, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Pei Yunshu was so tired from crying that he could hardly open his eyes. However, Zhu You did not leave. He just looked at him solemnly and asked stubbornly again, "Why don't you want the snake letter?"
"Afraid of snakes," Pei Yunshu, "Don't want snakes."
Zhu You frowned.
Pei Yunshu didn't dare to walk, but he was about to fall asleep while standing. His body swayed back and forth, and he accidentally fell into Zhu You's arms.
Zhu You held his hand, thought for a moment, and then led his hand to touch the two small bumps on his head that were about to break.
The small bag was extremely hidden, and it felt strange in the hand. Pei Yunshu's sleepy eyes came back to life a little, and he looked at Zhu You in confusion.
Zhu You: "Snakes are cute."
“Be afraid of snakes, don’t want snakes.”
Pei Yunshu spoke unconsciously, and his slightly swollen eyes would arouse pity even in wild animals.
Zhu You looked at him with bloodshot eyes for a while, then took his hand and stroked the side of her face, "Don't want the snake letter?"
Pei Yunshu nodded quickly. He must have been frightened by the snake's signal. This time, his answer was trembling again. "No snake signal."
"I am a dragon," Zhu You said, "not a snake."
Pei Yunshu: "Hmm?"
He was too sleepy to understand anything.
The author has something to say: Yunshu's crying was a good way to vent her emotions.
[Small Theater]
At the stall selling headbands, Zhu You picked up the headband and put it into the storage bag.
The boss glared: You you you—
Zhu You was very confident and looked back with dead dragon eyes.
