He pondered for a moment, then said softly, "I'd be happy if you were willing to stay here." ”

"Y-Are you really willing to take me in?" Her eyes widened, she could barely believe her ears, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "And let me stay in the Phantom Cloud Pool?" ”

He nodded solemnly, reconfirming what he had just said.

"Great!" Ziyou tried to restrain the excitement in his heart, and he was so happy that he almost burst into tears.

After all, the Immortal Purple Mansion is not something that ordinary creatures can set foot on at will, not to mention this phantom wave cloud pool, which is known as the source of all clouds, as early as in the Tianhe River, she had heard the Wen ray fish mention that this place was beyond their reach, and every time, they could only do their best to jump high and glance at the cloud pool from a distance in mid-air.

And at this moment, just because of his gentle words, she actually stayed here so easily, if those Wen Ray knew about it, how would they be envious and jealous.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" She looked at him gratefully and asked sincerely.

"Well...... Pingyi pondered for a moment, "then you will replace Ze Feng and cultivate the clouds in the Phantom Cloud Pool, how about it?" ”

Zefeng? It's the guy who will take revenge, right? Her mind was racing, and she secretly wondered why that guy was so unenlightened, and he refused to even treat such a fairy treasure land well, and wanted to go out and cause trouble.

Ping Yi sighed lightly, his eyes were lonely: "Since Ze Feng rebelled from Bixia Palace and fled to the Netherworld, there has been one less Cloud Cultivator in the Cloud Pool, and this position has been vacant for a long time. I don't know if you'd like to? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." She blurted out without thinking, her tone beaming with joy.

"Don't be too happy too early, cultivating clouds is not as easy as you think," Ping Yi gently brushed the petals that fell on his clothes, and said leisurely, "Actually, this is also a kind of cultivation." Every day I will pour new clouds into the pool, and it is your duty to plow them into various shapes and make them relax, but do not think that all the clouds will be plowed, for the village men of the Nether have cultivated all the fertile fields, but no one can plow all the clouds that fill my pool. ”

"Huh? So many clouds? She listened intently, and her heart couldn't help but feel infinite admiration.

Seeing her expression of surprise and admiration, he smiled, and then continued: "You just need to do what you can, cultivate more and cultivate less, I will not limit you, you can do whatever you want." ”

She nodded and smiled, "You're so nice!" ”

Those three words fell into Ping Yi's heart, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, crisp and beautiful. He had long been accustomed to hearing the compliments of his colleagues in the heavenly realm and the prayers of mortals in the past, but now these three simple words came out of her mouth, and he suddenly felt a glimmer of joy that he had never felt before, a subtle feeling, although fleeting, but it fascinated him.

She didn't understand his mind at all, so after thinking about it, she asked, "Is it true that if you cultivate more, your cultivation will progress faster?" ”

"That's nature." Ping Yi came back to his senses, nodded slightly, paused slightly, and added, "However, it will also be very hard." ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship." She wagged her beautiful long tail and replied firmly.

Ping Yi smiled slightly bitterly, and his eyes turned to deep sadness: "Maybe one day, when you find that all this is so boring, you will be completely tired of it and want to escape." ”

"No, it won't!" Ziyou shook his head and assured categorically.

"You don......'t understand," he said, staring at her fixedly, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, "because you still don't understand how terrible that heart-wrenching loneliness is." ”

Hearing him say this, she couldn't help but think of the loneliness and coldness she felt when she was in Tianhe, everything in the mortal world was far away from her, no one really cared about her, and in those hundred years, she was so lonely as if she was dead.

"So," Ping Yi smiled faintly, his eyebrows calm and warm, "if you don't want to stay here one day, just tell me, I will never stop you, and you can leave at any time." ”

She shook and looked at him with a little surprise, but she felt very warm in her heart.

At that moment, she wanted to say to him, as long as you are here, as long as you don't drive me away, I will never leave.

However, after hesitating for a while, she didn't say what was in her heart after all.

It is said that the years are long in heaven, and this is true, time seems to be frozen here, and everything seems to be in a kind of eternal silence.

Zi You had only been in the Phantom Cloud Pool for three days, but she felt as if three years had passed, but she felt very happy in her heart.

Although Bixia Palace is magnificent, there are very few immortals living here. Below Yun Zhongjun, in addition to the four divine envoys of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, there are only twenty-four fairy children in the palace who are responsible for taking care of daily chores. During the day, they were busy with each other, occasionally stopping to talk and laugh, and they got along well with each other.

Yun Zhongjun doesn't seem to like the empty and cold main hall of Bixia Palace, and he has been living alone on the quiet and elegant Yunmeng Tower on weekdays.

Yunmenglou stands between the clouds and mist, and faces the phantom cloud pool, echoing with the twelve halls of Bixia Palace. Standing upstairs and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Bixia Palace.

He often stood upstairs and cast his eyes on her who was enjoying herself in the cloud pool, even if he was separated by a thousand clouds, he could find her at a glance.

And whenever this happens, she will raise her head, look up at the hundred-foot upstairs, and smile at him.

Sometimes, she would push the freshly ploughed cloud into the sky and let it float in front of him, and then ask him with a grin, do you look like a big ship?

Or tell him, doesn't this look like a lotus flower?

Sometimes I laugh with him, what about that mess, it looks like a horse, doesn't it?

……

He stood upstairs and watched as she rolled the clouds into shapes, or swept in color, or in majesty, or in whirlwind, or curled up...... The clouds and mist seemed to be infused with some kind of life force as she cultivated them, and they became vivid and brilliant, and they roamed in the blue sky with a different kind of beautiful brilliance.

Her tirelessness was in great contrast to the perfunctory things of Ze Feng in the past, and within a few days, the clouds floating out of the Bixia Palace became very different from the past, and her happiness also flew above the nine heavens with those clouds.

In order to please him, and of course out of gratitude, she would sing a ballad for him every day. And he will also harmonize with the sound of the piano, and every time this time, all the fluttering clouds will freeze and listen to the music like heaven.

At his beckoning, she would swim up to it through the clouds in the air, and tell him some interesting stories from the lower world to relieve his boredom, and he would also talk to her about some things in the heavens, and in the course of the conversation, he gradually realized that in his hundreds of thousands of years, there were so few things that really remained in his memory, so that he often talked to her and then fell silent, and suddenly there was nothing to say. On the contrary, although she only lived for more than 400 years, it seems that she can never finish telling what she remembers.

As the days passed, she gradually became acquainted with him, and before she knew it, she had made this place her home.

On this day, Yun Zhongjun was sent to Taichen Palace by Dongjun to discuss matters, and Ziyou was still plowing clouds in the phantom wave cloud pool for fun.

She originally thought that after entering the phantom wave cloud pool of Bixia Palace, with the blessing of Yunzhongjun, all disasters would be far away from her, but what she didn't expect was that in this fairy land of the god realm, she still almost suffered, and all this was blamed on a white-bearded old man-

The old man had a childish face, a long silver-white beard that hung down below his knees, and a peachwood cane in his hand, and he didn't know when he walked in.

A fairy boy stepped forward, saluted him, and called "Nanhai Immortal".

Zi You secretly looked at the old man through the gap in the clouds, full of curiosity, I don't know why he came here.

Nanhai Immortal Weng raised his hand and stroked Bai Huahua's long beard, and asked with a smile, "Where is Yunjun?" ”

"The immortal Weng came unfortunately, Yun Zhongjun was called by Dongjun, and he has not returned yet." Fairy Child replied respectfully.

"That's right......," the South Sea Immortal muttered, his beard twisted, "and I'll wait for him here." ”

The fairy boy bowed down and made a "please" gesture: "Please come to the main hall and sit down." ”

"It doesn't have to be that trouble." Nanhai Immortal Weng waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy, let me walk around in this garden." ”

Seeing this, the fairy child had no choice but to bow down and retire.

The South China Sea Immortal Weng walked leisurely around the Phantom Cloud Pool, looking east and west, but he didn't expect to be hit in the head by a ripe fairy fruit on the tree.

"Ah......h

It's funny! Ziyou hid behind the clouds, thinking that the old man's appearance was very funny, and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh?" Hearing the giggling sound, the Nanhai Immortal walked to the side of the pool and lowered his eyes to look under the layers of clouds.

Not good! Ziyou subconsciously hid, thinking that it would be better not to be discovered by him, so as not to cause trouble.

"It's actually a flame spirit fish?!" Staring at the pool, Nanhai Immortal's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say with joy, "I didn't expect that there were such spiritual things in Yunjun's pool!" ”

Worst! Zi You's heart sank, he couldn't imagine that he was hiding behind this heavy cloud, but he was still seen by this white-bearded old man, and this old man could even call the exact name of their clan, look at his round eyes that were almost falling out, wouldn't he want to eat her?

Heaven forbid, but don't! She couldn't help muttering in her heart, and she glanced up tremblingly.

Just when she was uneasy, the South China Sea Immortal suddenly exerted her magic power and scooped her up in the air.
