Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

The Third Elder raised the jade wine gourd, taking a deep drink, as if unable to dispel his worries, "Are you explaining deliberately because you’re feeling guilty?"

You Su shook his head nervously, "I’m afraid the Third Elder might misunderstand..."

The Third Elder’s lips curled up unintentionally; it seemed the young man still cared about his image in her eyes, so she didn’t continue to make things hard for You Su:

"What did she say to you?"

You Su pressed his lips together, "She said everything."

The Third Elder sighed deeply and took another drink:

"This trace of Celestial Awakening Spiritual Light, who knows if it’s the dawn of hope or the seed of disaster."

Unexpectedly, You Su also took out a jar of wine from the Qiankun Bag and took a swig:

"Depends on who gets it."

The Third Elder raised an eyebrow at You Su, finding it amusing that the young man was imitating her way of drowning sorrow in wine.

"Ice Melting Burn? That wine isn’t cheap. Can you just buy it and drink it?"

"Seeing the Third Elder always drinking this wine, with its sweet and mellow aroma, I wanted to emulate the Third Elder’s carefree style, so I bravely bought some, but I never dared to drink it."

The Third Elder chuckled softly at his words, bringing her wine gourd close, and You Su, understanding her gesture, brought his wine jar to clink with hers.

Flying in the sky, they looked like old drinking buddies.

"You needn’t take risks; there won’t be danger for you. Just be the Divine Son honestly. Others will vie for the inheritance."

"And let the Third Elder and Master shield all the pressure for me?"

"We are your elders, it’s only natural. There are many who have high hopes for you, and none want you to take risks. With the Celestial Awakening Realm, you might not even need to seek out the Three Great Evil Gods, and you don’t have to be the Divine Son if you don’t want to be. The world isn’t all good, but it’s not all bad, you understand?" The Third Elder continued to persuade You Su.

You Su suddenly felt his nose get a bit sour, surely because he was somewhat drunk.

"Does the Third Elder want it? That trace of Celestial Awakening Spiritual Light."

The Third Elder clutched the wine gourd, staring at You Su in surprise:

"Even without that spiritual light, at least Zhengyang the True Immortal has proven that Celestial Awakening isn’t an unattainable realm, why strive for it?"

"The Third Elder is over three hundred years old, right?"

"What’s it to you?"

The Third Elder was sensitive about her age, especially after that wicked woman repeatedly emphasized it in front of You Su.

"If you can’t break through to Celestial Awakening, it’s impossible to live past five hundred. The Third Elder loves drinking so much, probably will pass at a little over four hundred, leaving only a hundred years to live. But I consider myself to have decent talent, with a chance at the Void Realm, so I could live close to five hundred years..."

As You Su drank, his words came intermittently.

"What are you trying to say?"

For some reason, the Third Elder became nervous about You Su’s answer.

"I don’t want to see the Third Elder die."

You Su drank more recklessly, the flowing wine trickling down his neck into his clothes.

"I don’t want to see Master die either..."

His head tilted, then he plopped down beside the Third Elder’s hip.

Although Ice Melting Burn is strong, You Su had drunk it before, and hadn’t he steadied himself, he wouldn’t have gotten drunk so quickly.

This time, he truly let down all his guards while drinking; when someone’s already spiritually intoxicated, one can get drunk without wine.

The lake of the Third Elder’s heart stirred, as if a tightly shut window was blown open by a fierce gust of wind.

Her porcelain-white face flushed with a smoky red, more beautiful than the sunset horizon.

"You’re drunk..."

She turned her head, touching her slightly warm cheek.

How did I get drunk too...

...

Seven days later, across the Five Continents, many cultivators below the Feather Transformation Realm received a letter.

It was a letter entrusted by Zhengyang the True Immortal, inviting them to the island where his inheritance was hidden—

Celestial Awakening Island.
