Chapter Twenty-Three: Post-Illusion
Jiuyou and Shen Yuan have a conflict.
The news quietly spread all over the mountain, whether it was elves, spiritual objects or magic weapons, they all talked about the news.
Shen Yuan's resurrection from his slumber is a good thing for everyone. But because of the good things that followed, it was the cold war between Jiuyou and Shen Yuan.
No one knew what had happened between the two, because the time passage of time in the Pond was different from the ground, Jiuyou and Shen Yuan had been in the environment for a quarter, but for the others, it was only a few short hours.
What everyone saw was that Shen Yuan woke up and faced Jiuyou cautiously, but Jiuyou was unmoved. Not only is it not what everyone imagined, but after waiting for the closest senior brother to return to normal, he smiled and sneered at every turn, and never looked at Shen Yuan as usual, all the time.
When a sneering expression appeared on her immature little face, it had to be said that it was even more terrifying than the matter of Shen Yuan's sleep. In the words of karma, it is more terrifying than the powerful ghosts he has seen in his life.
One day, while Jiuyou was sleeping, the wide fan secretly went to the Moon Sect to play, and came back late, facing Jiuyou's cold eyes.
"You should know that Master has been alchemy for me lately, right? You don't like Jasper Lake, and when I go there to soak my feet in the future, I can only let Master take me there. Soβ"
Jiuyou muttered: "It seems that it is useless to keep you by your side, or you should think about it and find a new master." β
The words frightened the wide fan to turn red in an instant, and hovered in the air for a while, as if he was dancing to please Jiuyou. Seeing that Jiuyou was unmoved, he flew in front of Jiuyou, fanned wildly, and quickly inserted himself into the gap between Jiuyou and the bed when Jiuyou was covered by the flying skirt.
Jiuyou: "......"
Seeing that Jiuyou didn't push it to leave, the wide fan acquiesced that Jiuyou didn't object, and after stealing fun for a while, the fan bone returned to white, pretending to fall asleep.
***
The days still go on.
The Nether Monarch decided to put the matter of treating Jiuyou's legs on the agenda after the matter of the memory beads was over.
Jiuyou, as before, sent each other by the senior brothers in turn every day to go to and from school in the Moon Sect.
Every time it is Shen Yuan's turn, the atmosphere is extremely awkward, worse than Songbai with a dull personality, at least Jiuyou will talk to Songbai about the pill.
Xuanwu's gift to Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan didn't have a chance to give it to Jiuyou for a long time. Almost every time he wanted to find a conversation and give a gift to Jiuyou, Jiuyou would always divert the topic and the conversation could not continue.
In Shen Yuan's understanding, Jiuyou is a child, and it is natural for children to be easy to get angry. For example, he saw it when he was in the world, a child as old as Jiuyou either cried at every turn, or caused trouble everywhere, in comparison, Jiuyou is simply a good baby.
Then, the good baby has a temper tantrum, it must be because of the adult, and he is the adult who should be held responsible.
Hiding from Jiuyou to take her into the fantasy realm adventure is one of the reasons, and suspicion of her in the environment is the second reason, and after waking up, he couldn't give her the gift as soon as possible, so he missed the best time to coax her, which is the third reason.
Shen Yuan didn't think that the child Jiuyou would understand the things of men and women in the illusion, and always felt that if she grew up, she would definitely forget the things she found in the illusion.
Just like when he was very young, he remembered that someone in the depths of the Stygian Sea had told him that he would come and pick him up. But when he grew up, he forgot who it was.
So, will Jiuyou forget too?
When Jiuyou went to school recently, unlike before, he was in the mood to float to Shen Yuan's shoulder and look at Shen Yuan at eye level. She deliberately floated very low, her feet skimming not far from the ground, and Shen Yuan could only see her small round head, with a spin in the middle.
Ye Yan once analyzed Jiuyou's head with great interest, because he was the shortest of the teenagers, and he could only see the top of Jiuyou's head.
He said that Jiuyou has a spin on his head, and he will definitely be a good boy who is sensible and does not force himself in the future.
Will she really be like what Karma says?
The answer was revealed in the evening when the blazing sun picked up Jiuyu from school.
The previous relationship is that Chi Yang and Jiu You's personalities are inherently incompatible, Jiu You feels that Chi Yang is sick as a young master, and he keeps changing his clothes every day, and he calls her like a spirit servant at every turn, and she has to follow his wishes; But Chi Yang felt that Jiuyou was squeamish and unreasonable, unlike children of the same age, who were obviously coquettish and could solve the problem by calling her brother a few times, she had to amplify it so that people couldn't get off the stage.
Because of these reasons, Jiuyou and Blazing Yang almost returned to the Five Elements Sect while quarreling.
Shen Yuan heard the sound and stood in front of Jiuyou quietly, asking what happened to Blazing Yang.
When Blazing Yang saw Shen Yuan's appearance as a calf protector, he had a headache.
"Na, na, here we go again. I haven't done anything to her yet, why did you rush over? β
Blazing Yang tried his best to control his temper when he spoke, because Shen Yuan was the third child after all, and he was the fourth, and the master also asked everyone to listen to Jin Cheng and Shen Yuan's words, which was equivalent to his useless finding Songbai, the second child, and the master must also stand on Shen Yuan's side.
"It's okay to say what happened, I'll be the master for the two of you, and I won't show favoritism."
Shen Yuan was upright when he spoke, and he really frightened the blazing sun. Blazing Yang took the opportunity to vent his bitterness, "I just went to pick her up from school, and I saw a pair of twin female elves on the way, I thought it was amazing, so I followed it for a while." But I didn't delay the little junior sister anything, because when I went to Huaiyan Hall, Su Wujun was pulling her to talk. β
Jiu You added the situation at that time faintly: "Yes, Master, he saw that I was not picked up today, and he wanted to send me back by himself." β
"How can no one pick it up? Am I not human? Blazing Yang was anxious, gesturing with his hands, "I really haven't looked at the pair of female elves for a long time, what I think is, see where they live, I'll leave, who knows that they are going farther and farther, delaying me for a long time." β
Jiuyou couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes, "I once told you that there are two twin elves in the Mochizuki Sect who look at me unpleasantly, as if I have a grudge against them. They know that you are here to pick me up, so they naturally have to find a way to trick you so that you can't pick me up. You shouldn't really be naΓ―ve enough to think that there will be a lot of twin elves in the Mochizuki Sect, right? β
Blazing Yang heard Jiuyou tell the truth, and then he suddenly realized, "I see! In other words, they not only look down on you, but also look down on me and our Five Elements Sect? The same elves are arrogant, and when I see them in the future, I will take a detour, little sister, don't worry, I will do what I say! β
Jiuyou sneered: "I will accept your guarantee, see-"
She paused slightly, her eyes did not look at Shen Yuan, who was firmly locked on her, and said loudly to Blazing Sun, "Anyway, let's be like this today!" In the future, you will have a long mind in everything, don't be deceived, people will think that our elves from the Five Elements Sect are mentally retarded! β
Blazing Sun: "......"
Almost, how can such a young person still learn to educate people?
After Jiuyou finished announcing, he turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Shen Yuan's arm.
The conversation between Jiuyou and Blazing Yang just now, listening to Shen Yuan's ears, is that there are elves in the Moon Gazing Sect who are unfriendly to Jiuyou, and he must ask clearly in order to protect Jiuyou.
"I forgot to ask you, did Pu Cheng go back to school in the Moon Sect? Will he be angry with you for something that happened late? Did those two female elves target you because of Pu Cheng? β
Jiuyou gently broke away from Shen Yuan's hand and replied in a low voice, "It's not because of this." β
After she left alone, Shen Yuan's ambiguous answer made Shen Yuan puzzled.
As he pondered, Blazing Sun observed his reaction and suddenly had an idea.
In the past, when Chiyang was in Suiyang City, he was the backbone of children of the same age, and where other children went to play and what they wanted to play basically depended on his mood.
So at first, he didn't understand how to deal with the senior brothers who didn't listen to him, and the little sisters who didn't listen to him, but he was easy to get angry.
Therefore, Blazing Sun went with the flow, and chose to obey the opinions of the majority in most cases, at least without making mistakes.
But recently, because the two people who had always been as good as one person "cracked", the Five Elements Sect has become a lot more depressed, which is unbearable for his temper.
There is just such an opportunity in front of him, if he can talk about Shen Yuan and coax the little junior sister, wouldn't he be able to improve the atmosphere of the teacher, so as to make a great achievement and make everyone look at him with admiration?
Blazing Yang took it to heart, grabbed Shen Yuan, and muttered. The innocent child was skeptical of what he said, but he rushed to the doctor and couldn't help but want to give it a try.
***
Blazing Yang's opinion is that since Jiuyou is still young, he can't hide from the characteristics of children. For example, children love to eat delicious things, and Jiuyou is certainly no exception.
In this regard, Shen Yuan, who has always sat next to Jiuyou during dinner, thinks so. Because Jiuyou often picks up the delicious things in his bowl and throws everything she thinks is unpalatable to him. When he eats, he has to handle ingredients for Jiuyou, such as peeling shrimp shells, tearing chicken thighs, and serving as an acceptance bucket for unpalatable ingredients.
Blazing Yang eats at the same table with the two every day, and he has long been accustomed to seeing the mode of getting along between the two every day.
Recently, Jiuyou has stopped doing this, and the unpalatable ingredient acceptance bucket has become a karma that also loves to eat and does not pick ingredients. And the meat processed by Shen Yuan, Jiuyou stayed in place until the next table.
What Shen Yuan didn't understand was that every time he did this, he was reminding Jiuyou of the scene in the illusion. She didn't know how much Shen Yuan remembered the things in the environment, maybe even if he remembered them all, he wouldn't admit it.
Because the abyss in the fantasy world and the abyss in reality, the identity and personality are too different.
Everything is like Jiuyou having a spring dream, and it is this that Jiuyou can't face. She is fantasizing about the way Shen Yuan grew up, the way Shen Yuan stood up to the sky, and Shen Yuan became a hero......
And so on and so forth.
In reality, Jiuyou is a little girl who can't walk with legs, can't sit on Shen Yuan's lap to eat, and won't be ...... by Shen Yuan because of small scars on her face
The illusion is very plump, but the reality is skinny. The huge gap was unbearable for Jiuyou, and she felt that she had to restrain herself.
So when Shen Yuan obviously listened to the instigation of others, and came to her with the wine-stuffed potato balls she had inadvertently mentioned, she was very moved to refuse him.
"Keep it for yourself, I think you'll have to grow your body."
