Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

The body’s instinctive self-rescue made it impossible for him to exert all his strength, so You Su bit down hard on his lips until they bled. He didn’t know how long it would take for his severed hand to regenerate, but he absolutely couldn’t just sit here and wait to die!

"Ah... ah!!"

Suddenly, a flash of white light flickered across You Su’s vision, deflating his rising energy.

It wasn’t until the white light stopped in front of him that he recognized what it was—Xiaohua!

"Xiaohua! Why are you here!"

You Su was very surprised. Though he previously opposed his senior sister taking Xiaohua in, he had let down his guard after spending so much time together.

He knew Xiaohua and his senior sister were very close. On Lotus Peak, Xiaohua served as her hairpin, and outside Lotus Peak, it would hide in her clothes; the two were rarely apart.

Xiaohua showing up here, does it mean his senior sister hasn’t gone to the art exhibition?

Xiaohua’s bright red feelers wriggled, and You Su knew it was talking, but only his senior sister could understand Xiaohua. He had asked her why before, and she simply said she just could.

Could it be that his senior sister is here to pass on some message?

"I don’t understand!"

You Su couldn’t care less about the intense pain from his shoulder at that moment, feeling somewhat anxious.

Xiaohua moved its head as if disapproving of this fool.

Suddenly, the small, entirely white snake-like creature transformed, growing into the large sandworm from the bottom of Jade Ring Pool, collapsing the couch where You Su lay.

Then Xiaohua’s mouthparts moved, spitting out an object. You Su looked at it in surprise; it was the Jade Rabbit Mask that his senior sister always kept on her face!

"What does this mean?"

You Su was a bit confused but saw a note inside the mask.

The handwriting was neat to the point of being somewhat cute. You Su instantly recognized it as his senior sister’s handwriting; she only wrote with such clumsy seriousness—

Does my junior brother not like my face?

"No, I don’t! Quickly tell senior sister that whether I like her or not has nothing to do with her face!"

Xiaohua immediately obeyed, swiftly transforming back into the small white snake and disappeared into the ground.

You Su, feeling hopeful, broke into a smile.

But then he remembered he was still trapped and felt annoyed, having forgotten to ask Xiaohua to bite his ropes apart.

...

"Fairy Wangshu, you can remove the veil now."

Venerable Qianhua looked at the young girl sitting in the center of the crowd with a gentle smile.

Surrounding her were ten of Konghua Studio’s most seasoned painters. Regardless of age or gender, all gazed intently at the serene girl in the center, as though witnessing a soon-to-be-born rare treasure; this painting would mark a significant milestone in their careers.

"How fortunate I am, Xv Yan, to witness with my own eyes the moment when Fairy Wangshu reveals her true face!"

The spirited old man spoke, his eyes shining. In fact, he had an unpublicized identity as one of the chief editors of the Divine Mountain Celestial Immortal List and a crucial judge determining the ranking of Fairies. Despite Fairy Wangshu’s high ranking while keeping her face hidden, he indeed had a significant hand in it.

Other painters also echoed these sentiments, but as everyone’s praise was exhausted, Fairy Wangshu remained motionless, causing them to exchange puzzled glances and look to Venerable Qianhua for guidance.

"Don’t be nervous, Fairy Wangshu. You’re very beautiful; simply take it off boldly," Venerable Qianhua said with a soft smile, his demeanor kind and approachable.

Wangshu’s skirt hem shifted lightly as she suddenly stood up, her blue eyes sparkling brightly.

Her hand covered the tie of the veil, and everyone’s breath seemed to halt, their gaze drawn in.

"If my junior brother doesn’t like it... then let’s do without it..."

She murmured to herself and then tore off the veil.

In a collective gasp, everyone was stunned and lost for words.

The true face beneath the veil... how is it still the Jade Rabbit Mask?
