Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Lotus Peak bustled with joy, not just Henggao City, but the entire Profound Sky Sect, displaying the lively scene of a New Year celebration, with red lanterns and festive attire everywhere, celebrating the joyous occasion.

On Lotus Peak, the young girl’s demands were insatiable because she knew that in three days, her senior brother would have another senior sister as his swordsmanship exchange partner.

To assert her presence to her senior brother and to express the slight melancholy in her heart, Ji Lingruo almost aimed to make You Su unable to lift his sword on his wedding night with the senior sister.

For this goal, she exerted all her efforts.

For example, despite being a snake demon, she put on a tail to look like a fox; even though window flowers should be pasted on windows, she pasted them on her lower abdomen; despite being a younger sister, she played the role of the Snake Race clan leader seriously dealing with official business at the desk...

Unfortunately, she underestimated the combat power of You Su, who had already reached the Condensed Water Realm, which was beyond her current Spirit Platform Realm.

Even though she resorted to using the power of the Lady Talisman and had her maids help support her when she was tired from sitting, she still couldn’t make You Su surrender.

If they were in the same realm, it could barely be considered a 60-40 split; now it was 80-20. Nevertheless, her ’dedication’ during cultivation made You Su thoroughly enjoy himself, and he willingly conceded to satisfy his junior sister’s competitive spirit.

It’s not that he had remarkable composure to leave such tender love behind, but he had major matters to prepare for, and being exhausted for three days and then marrying the senior sister indeed seemed unreasonable.

Today was the third day of the New Year, and You Su got his junior sister up as well.

He opened the window to disperse the slightly lewd scent in the room, the gentle cold wind blew in, making him shiver involuntarily.

Many trees in the courtyard were already desolate, the stream in the gorge dried up, with the gray clouds rolling continuously in the sky, presenting a vast emptiness between heaven and earth.

You Su took a deep breath of the fresh air, recognizing the signs before snow.

This would be the first snow of this winter; for Henggao Divine Mountain, the highest mountain in the Zhongyuan Continent, this first snow came later than usual.

But for You Su, he felt it arrived just at the right time.

The pair washed up quickly, deciding to visit several important elders for New Year’s greetings. Though such rituals aren’t popular among cultivators, the necessary greeting as juniors was still appropriate.

This senior-junior pair walking on the road attracted countless gazes from fellow disciples.

You Su wore a black and gold elegant robe, his figure agile, his temperament restrained, and to echo the festive atmosphere, Ji Lingruo adorned him with a red tassel at the waist, adding youthful vigor without losing mature steadiness.

Ji Lingruo, on the other hand, wore a white and red cheongsam, stunningly beautiful, radiant like spring. After You Su’s diligent nurturing since ascending the mountain, her figure grew more voluptuous, distinguishing her from a genuinely childish girl, with the snake demon’s alluring charm unintentionally leaking from her.

Yet her most enchanting feature wasn’t this natural allure, but the lingering naivety on her sharply exquisite jade-like face. Despite her incredibly delicate figure, she had her infant twin ponytails tied with red silk, the paradoxical charm of being both alluring and naive achieved a perfect blend in her, turning into an even more fascinating temptation.

The surrounding eyes burned with heat, Ji Lingruo quietly hid behind You Su, who boldly held her hand.

Though human-demon romance is unsuitable for overt expression under current circumstances, there’s no reason to play a turtle during these times.

You Su knew well that what his junior sister sought from him wasn’t the true essence of swordsmanship, but a tiny hint of security.

If he couldn’t provide even this bit of security to the woman he cherished, then what right did he have to speak of love?

"Senior brother... isn’t this inappropriate..."

Ji Lingruo tried to pull away; she had reached an agreement with You Su back in Chuyun City that when they reached a pinnacle, undisputed by others, they would boldly proclaim this human-demon romance.

Yet You Su’s large hand held that soft palm tight, showing no intention of loosening.

"Is it wrong for a senior brother and junior sister to have a close relationship?"

Ji Lingruo hung her head, feeling her heart melt, the lingering morning nostalgia evoked once more, she muttered:

"Senior brother... why don’t we skip the greetings and go back?"

You Su raised his sword-like brows, clearly understanding the junior sister’s cravings. The junior sister, who was both inexperienced and playful, truly loved playful indulgence...

He gently squeezed the maiden’s hand, affectionately said:

"We’re already out the door, it won’t take long."

"Oh..."

Ji Lingruo reluctantly nodded, meekly led by You Su.

Their first visit was, of course, to the one under whom no one in the Profound Sky Sect stands above—First Elder.

Celestial Skill Peak is the gathering place of genius within the entire Profound Sky Sect. Although the number of true disciples here isn’t the highest among the sect’s thirteen peaks, in terms of power, no peak dares challenge Celestial Skill Peak head-on.

The research on skills by Celestial Skill Peak is not only the best within the sect but represents the pinnacle existence of all Five Continents. Many cultivators pursuing skills across the continents yearn for this place, yet its thresholds leave countless skill geniuses daunted.

You Su and Ji Lingruo walked freely and unimpeded along this majestic mountain path.

This was naturally arranged by First Elder, who always wanted to invite You Su for a visit but never had the opportunity. Now that You Su took the initiative to come, he was most welcoming.
