Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

"And what about you?" You Su eyed the woman’s face, so close to his.

"Me?"

Venerable Qianhua chuckled softly, putting some distance between them.

She actually took off her own gold-rimmed glasses and slowly put them on You Su. Then, she gently pressed a switch on the temple of the glasses. The transparent lenses instantly turned jet black and clear, as if a sheer black veil had been placed over You Su’s world.

"This is a precious item I had custom-made at great expense. Sunlight is always glaring, so I designed this piece. Unfortunately, the materials are too precious, and the cost is too high, so it became part of my personal collection.

I hear that the blind are also afraid of light. yet you don’t travel with your eyes covered like them. Why don’t I give these glasses to you? Sometimes being unable to see is quite inconvenient..."

The glasses were completely black, and due to the special material, only one side let light through, completely concealing You Su’s dark pupils.

"The opponents in this grand world contest will be even more terrifying than imagined. It seems you really want me to go to my death."

Venerable Qianhua naturally hoped that by giving You Su these glasses, he could make good use of them on that island.

But the premise of this gift was that You Su was determined to go to the island with a fate unknown.

Venerable Qianhua burst into laughter:

"Of course, I hope so. After all, if you die, this master-servant relationship will be severed, and I, a dignified Venerable, won’t have to bow down to a kid who hasn’t even grown a full head of hair."

You Su’s expression turned a bit grim, "To your master, you must speak the truth."

Venerable Qianhua’s expression froze, her red lips slightly pursed, smiling more brilliantly:

"Of course, I also don’t want you to really die just like that. I, Tao Sufen, am not someone who shakes their tail seeking favor from others easily. If someone else takes the Celestial Awakening Spiritual Light, it wouldn’t be mine. But with you, I can still have a share. It’s a win-win situation. If I achieve Celestial Awakening, the benefits you receive won’t be small, isn’t that right?"

"You were clearly forced to become my servant, yet now it sounds like you decided in advance to bet everything on me."

"What? Do you think the little dog really likes its master?"

Venerable Qianhua’s red lips were bright, her tone frivolous.

After removing the cool gold-rimmed glasses, her face transformed into a defiant yet fragile softness, constantly tempting others to want to ravage her.

"If you want to take revenge on me, just make me obey you in everything. There’s no need to make me constantly carry the evil aura. That means without the aura, you can’t command me. So if I were to just swallow it earlier, I could gain freedom, am I right?"

You Su’s face showed surprise; this woman was far smarter than he’d thought. When she proposed the slave mark, she must have already thought of this.

"But I still didn’t swallow it... and now I’m somewhat regretful."

Venerable Qianhua supported her forehead and shook her head, then raised her eyes to glance at You Su, smiling:

"I admit you’re somewhat interesting, but wanting me to submit is not enough yet. I’ve placed the freedom of the rest of my life on you, so don’t let me down, master..."

There was a sudden urgent knocking at the door, clearly indicating that the Third Elder could no longer wait due to the time the two had delayed.

"Even if I gain it, you still won’t be free." You Su adjusted his pants.

"Then I’d be doing it willingly, and the little dog will completely submit to its master." Venerable Qianhua smiled brightly.

You Su took off the sunglasses and put them away, his eyes returning to stark black and white, decisively saying:

"Let’s go."

Venerable Qianhua watched the youth’s determined back and softly said:

"Hey, don’t really die. If you die, who will I seek revenge on? Then the people around you won’t have it easy; harboring a demon, you understand the consequences, right?"

You Su paused his steps, turned around, with cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Your lower abdomen seems more sensitive, doesn’t it? How about the slave mark be placed there, and by then, will you dare deliberately provoke me like this?"

"You can try." Venerable Qianhua raised her eyebrows, tauntingly.

"When I stretched my foot over earlier, I hit something that was vibrating. It’s a bird chime, isn’t it?" You Su suddenly said.

Venerable Qianhua’s expression froze, her arrogant demeanor instantly turning tense.

"No need to lie; you’re not allowed to remove it for a month. That’s an order."

You Su left with one final command, then opened the door.

Venerable Qianhua bit her lower lip tightly, watching the youth’s merciless back as he walked away, unable to hide her shame and anger.

I put it in to prepare to punish you, not because I was looking forward to seeing you. What are you getting so sentimental about?

A month... surely that’s too much...

The Third Elder watched You Su open the door with a grave face, likewise feeling a chill in her heart, knowing that vile woman must have said something she shouldn’t have.

Just as You Su was about to shut the door, a sultry voice suddenly came from inside:

"Ah... Mr. You... I’m about to lose it..."

When the door to Anning Building’s private tea room closed, no sound could be heard from inside to the outside, yet Venerable Qianhua caught the moment when the door opened.

The Third Elder raised her eyebrows, suspiciously scrutinizing You Su.

You Su’s once indifferent demeanor was shattered by that peculiar sound. His fingers clenched tight, inwardly marking another score against this vengeful woman, regretting that the punishment he just issued was still too lenient.

"Let’s go first... we’ll talk about this later back home."

The Third Elder sighed gently, walking ahead of You Su.

...

On the azure boat, clouds floated ethereally.

"Third Elder... she did that on purpose..."

You Su and Third Elder shared the azure boat as they flew back; neither had spoken since leaving, so he explained in embarrassment.

"That woman’s full of schemes; do you think I couldn’t see through it?"
