Chapter 22: The Ins and Outs

Jiuyou "snapped" and knocked his hand off, raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, but the corners of his mouth were raised, as if to say: If you want to touch it, you can touch it, can't you?

Shen Yuan couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he lowered his head, he showed a heartfelt smile. He hadn't been so happy for a long time, and if he calculated the time, he probably started to become a demon slayer general for some reason.

When his subordinates and responsibilities were put into his hands at the same time, he was not asked if he wanted to. He didn't want to accept this hot potato, because after taking it, there was no doubt that his comfortable life would come to an end.

Unexpectedly, after he was lonely for hundreds of years, he could pick up a living treasure by himself, although he couldn't speak, what he wanted to express was all on his face.

For example, she is looking at him intently now, there is expectation, worship, and there is a desire to speak, and her eyes are shining.

Obviously, gold-dusted fireflies don't get into people's eyes, right? So, what will be the hope in her eyes, and where will it come from?

Jiuyou looked at this young man with red lips and white teeth and high spirits, and gently stretched out his hand to wrap around his waist.

His waist is narrow, but his shoulders are broad. The breath on his body is like grass after rain, like plum blossoms in the snow, lingering on her side, cool and reassuring.

Through the half-open paper window, Jiuyou saw the heavy snow whistling outside. She ran to the window in high spirits and found that the leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree that had fallen on the ground were covered with heavy snow, and the layers of white and yellow complemented each other, which was very beautiful.

She turned around with a smile and wanted Shen Yuan to come over to take a look, but who knew what she saw was Shen Yuan smiling at her, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

***

"I didn't know I was that good." Shen Yuan Dao.

He stayed with the big turtle, and when he saw all kinds of pictures of Jiuyou and himself, sometimes he couldn't accept it, so he could only avoid it with his eyes.

From the first time he saw Jiuyou, he had doubted her origin, because she didn't look like a five-year-old girl at all. In her body, it seems that a mature and wise soul is imprisoned, even if she is restricted by her body, the bits and pieces of daily life are always reminding him of this.

The big turtle let out an unfathomable "hmm", Shen Yuan understood that it was very satisfied with the scene that appeared in the illusion, after all, the story framework was built by it, and Jiuyou and Shen Yuan were both characters in the story.

It chose the land, laid the soil, and even covered it with thick flower fertilizer, and watered it with a clear spring every day, just to let Jiuyou and Shen Yuan thrive - to interpret the story in its mind.

Because, it is not only the big turtle in the mouth of Shen Yuan, but also the god of water in the heavenly realm, and the divine beast Xuanwu.

It has been a god since Pangu opened the world and Nuwa created people, and later Nuwa ruthlessly cut off its limbs in order to make up for the heavens and used it as a pillar to support the heavens.

I don't know how many years have passed, but after a long time, Xuanwu's limbs have grown again, because it is brave and warlike, so it has become the god of war in the heavenly realm again, subduing demons and eliminating demons.

At that time, Xuanwu was always on the battlefield as a divine beast, it was brave and good at fighting, and all the demons who made chaos would not escape the fate of being frozen by him.

But it doesn't have a gorgeous and dazzling skin like Shen Yuan, it's just a big turtle in Shen Yuan's mouth. Therefore, when its body was about to decay, but it realized that there was no successor, it chose Shen Yuan, a young and hopeful teenager, as its heir, and then began to investigate him.

Shen Yuan, as a water spirit, has a special physique, a pure soul, and is just a few chances away from ascending. In the long years of God's flexibility, there will be many opportunities, in short, the time is up.

As an old turtle with the power of divination, Xuanwu calculated that Shen Yuan would turn into dragon's blood leaves by mistake and appear in the Xiangyan Pool.

The dracaena is an old friend, and they are extremely long-lived, making them suitable for ventilating them. Shen Yuan had a relationship with the Dragon's Blood Tree, so when he turned into the Dragon's Blood Tree Leaf, the entire Dragon's Blood Tree clan was secretly excited.

The Star Spirit Fairy agreed to Xuanwu's request, in fact, judging from her evasive gaze, she was extremely afraid of it.

Also, as an old turtle with a snake wrapped around his back, how could a person as crystal clear as the Star Spirit Fairy not be afraid of it. However, in order to achieve the goal, Xuanwu did not care so much.

Xuanwu also told the Star Spirit Fairy that if she could find the abyss in the pool, she would be willing to give her some lifespan so that she could fulfill her last dream of living with Kwai Er's body.

In this fantasy realm, it set some tests for Shen Yuan and his destined lover Jiuyou.

These tests can not only allow Shen Yuan to understand its past experiences and understand its good intentions, but also understand how important it is to protect the people he loves through his experience with Jiuyou.

It has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, and the people around it have come and gone, no one has stopped, and in the end it is only accompanied by a snake.

But it has a biased understanding of what it means to depend on life and death, and what it means to never give up. As a mythical beast that will never realize what it is to be truly dead, it knows how important it is to have loved ones by its side.

Xuanwu didn't want Shen Yuan to repeat the mistakes of the past, it wanted him to be a happy god, this was its simple and simple wish.

"Will she see me die in a fantasy world?"

Xuanwu shook his head slowly, and the little snake that had not shown his face for a long time followed and spat out the letter.

Shen Yuan looked at the illusion again, and found that the situation was actually reversed, and the person who fell to the ground turned into Jiuyou, and was held in his arms by "Shen Yuan".

***

Shen Yuan didn't understand, he wasn't okay when he was in the Demon Realm, Jiuyou reminded him to suppress the Demon King with all his strength, and he could rely on his natural restraint attribute to give the Demon King a fatal blow.

Even when she showed him a demonstration, she was afraid that he would not listen and would waste more energy in pursuit of a fair duel with the demon king, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch his ears to remind him to pay attention.

At that time, Shen Yuan couldn't wait to announce to the heavenly soldiers behind him that this lovely girl was his, and she was the best girl in the world.

However, he restrained himself, pretending to be careless on the surface, but listened to her, and after resolving the battle as quickly as he could, he took her back to him and her home.

When I first got home, the atmosphere was good, and the heavy snow outside the window could not stop the temperature inside the house from gradually rising. Until he suddenly got into a game and wanted to faint and scare her, but after pretending to be unconscious, after listening to her anxiously calling him but couldn't wake up, he tried to use gold dust fireflies to repair his original injuries.

The direction of the matter gradually became unclear, because Shen Yuan's wound was very deep, not to mention the end of the strong crossbow, and the physical weakness was undoubted.

In order to stop the bleeding from Shen Yuan's wound, Jiuyou almost exhausted his spiritual power. It was here that Shen Yuan realized that his girl was actually a gold-dusted firefly elf.

Legend has it that the gold-dusted fireflies die in the twilight of life, and if they want to live a long time, they need to have strong willpower in addition to taking a detour to light and fire.

When Shen Yuan first saw Jiuyou, she had probably just turned into a human form, so her breath was extremely weak, as if she was going to be scattered in the next moment. He helped her through the spiritual power, delayed her decline, and thought that he had done his best, and what happened after that depended on how she saved herself.

However, what she didn't expect was that it was probably the cold aura on his body that made her stable, she didn't want to leave, and he was so ghostly that he felt that it was not impossible to take her back to the house.

The housekeeper in the house was a dragon blood tree spirit who had been with Shen Yuan for many years, and he frequently looked sideways at the uninvited guests he brought back, but he glared back. Therefore, many spiritual servants in the palace knew that he was not ordinary to a girl, and even when they heard a crisp sound from the girl's courtyard one day, and then their master came out with a finger mark on one cheek and a smile on his face, he did not dare to question anything.

However, now, while Shen Yuan felt the wound gradually heal, Jiuyou gradually fell into a coma.

He looked at her condition, as if she had suffered internal injuries. But after he found out about her arrival, he never let her out of sight, when was she injured?

Before the war, he had heard that the Demon King was scheming, not only good at disguising himself and mutilating others, but also terrifying. He deliberately hid the invisible Jiuyou out of the Demon King's field of vision, could it be that he still failed to prevent it?

Doesn't this mean that he hurt Jiuyou?

The only remaining gold-dusted fireflies floated patheticly in the air, illuminating a corner. It's like the housekeeper said that every night when she sleeps, Jiuyou will always light a candle in a corner, and her natural insight into light and darkness can make anyone who steps into her bedding be detected by her as quickly as possible.

Protect yourself, but also wait for the abyss.

***

Shen Yuan was flustered, and after a hurried glance at the illusion, he sat on the ground and meditated and breathed.

The tragedy in the illusion is an unacceptable ending for him, and even though he clearly knows that everything is fake, he still wants to return to Jiuyou as soon as possible.

Because he couldn't imagine how Jiuyou would face him after waking up from the tragedy. Would she think that she was simply insignificant, someone he could give up at any time?

Xuanwu quietly put the agreed gift into Shen Yuan's arms, and the warmless gift was like a burning charcoal fire, almost burning his skin.

For the sake of a gift that Jiuyou might like, it was his fault that Jiuyou was tortured mentally, and it was his self-righteousness.

Following the guidance of the Netherworld Monarch and the Sorrowful Monarch outside the Turbulent Pool, Shen Yuan finally returned to his soul smoothly.

After waking up, the first thing he did was to wake up Jiuyou, who was immersed in the illusion.

When Jiuyou woke up, he didn't turn a corner for a while.

In the General's Mansion in the illusion, even if it is a snowy and cloudy day, the light is brighter than the dark underworld of the "sky" scene.

After seeing Shen Yuan's face, she just wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she found that her disobedient legs were the same as before.

She suddenly came to her senses, and in the face of Shen Yuan's worried gaze, although her heart was surging, what she blurted out was a sentence-

"I'm fine."

"It's okay." Shen Yuan pretended to be calm.

He is not a man who is good at disguise, on the contrary, he is good at imitation. This point Jiuyou couldn't be clearer, so she saw through him the first time.

"Don't lie, Third Senior Brother."

Jiuyou suddenly changed his name and dismantled Shen Yuan's mask.

Shen Yuan had never seen such a scene in the human world, so he didn't know how to face it.

There was a noisy sound outside the courtyard, and the two people in the house looked at the door at the same time, and the six people who quickly poured in filled the normally spacious space inside.

As soon as Su Weijun came in, he said, "I always felt that the Dragon's Blood Tree would have a hint, and sure enough, after inquiring, your master and I learned that an ancient divine beast had come to the Pond. Thinking of the identity of the Abyss Water Elf, we guessed the ins and outs......"

When he said this, even if he was as sluggish as a sorrowful gentleman, he also noticed the strange atmosphere between the two people sitting on the bed.

Ye Yan, who has never looked at his eyes and couldn't hold back his words, was the last to notice that something was wrong, and asked Jiuyou directly, "Little girl, what's wrong with you two?" ”
