Chapter 168 Girl’s Heart; Lotus Root Heart
Awkward.
A scalp-numbing embarrassment.
Ji Xueruo and You Su have been walking side by side for a long time, but no one has spoken to break the silence.
Thousands of words turn into hollow bubbles when they reach your mouth. When you open your mouth, nothing can come out.
"Miss Ji, are you okay?" You Su tried his best to act casual.
"Huh? Huh!"
Ji Xueruo was like a little book boy who was woken up from a daze in class, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
"Haha, it's okay, I'm fine too."
You Su jumped twice as if to prove his health.
Ji Xueruo glanced at him and complained coldly: "But I didn't ask you either."
You Su almost tripped when he heard this, wishing he could dig his toes through the soles of his shoes. He didn't know what to say in reply. .
Ji Xueruo blinked her clear and charming eyes when she saw his embarrassment, and couldn't help but smile, suddenly as bright as autumn chrysanthemums in September.
You Su also grinned slightly and laughed with her.
No matter how many words are said, there is no need to elaborate on this sweet smile.
Ji Xueruo also felt that she was not her who was so embarrassed and silent. As a woman who aspired to become an empress, her coquettish appearance was outrageous.
A careful calculation shows that it was only a short period of half a month since the two first met. From the beginning of not knowing each other to the tit-for-tat confrontation, to sharing weal and woe, living and dying together, and finally supporting each other, breaking up and standing up again, It all really seemed like a dream.
Can this dream withstand the impact of reality?
What separates the two is Ji Lingruo, the difference between a human and a monster, the two continents thousands of miles apart, and the pride that Ji Xueruo can never let go of. It was impossible for her to abandon the snake clan and follow a man all the time. If possible, she would prefer You Su to follow her skirt.
“Hey, what are your plans after getting the lotus root heart?”
The proud Ji Xueruo chooses to face reality.
You Su was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how difficult the reality was. This was a problem that he had to face.
"Back to Lotus Peak...what about you?"
"Back to Dongyingzhou." Ji Xueruo replied calmly.
It is impossible for You Su to leave Lotus Peak. Compared to the Snake Clan, that is a more suitable place for him.
They are destined to be separated, and it is difficult to determine when they will see each other again.
Both of them remained silent. Even though they had turbulent emotions in their hearts that they wanted to talk about, they were both so overwhelmed by reality that they were so flustered that they couldn't speak out.
You Su suddenly clenched his fists. He had been restraining himself from calling Miss Fang Ji, but now he could no longer hold back and solemnly shouted:
"Xue Ruo."
< br>Ji Xueruo looked at his face blankly, and then thought of 'You Su' who stood by her window that night and called her.
She could see through at a glance that it was an illusion because she knew You Su. Like her, he was used to keeping his emotions introverted. When they first met, he would never be able to say the word "Xue Ruo". This was It's a title that can only be shouted in dreams where there is no need to consider reality.
But at this moment You Su still shouted out, and Ji Xueruo knew that he could no longer hold back his emotions.
Oh, he shouldn't be like this.
"I..."
"Young Master You." Ji Xueruo interrupted You Su's next words in time, and she smiled freely:
"I know what you want to say. , it’s probably the same as in the dream, making some everlasting vows. But unfortunately, I don’t accept this trick. In our snake clan, I tell them all these big words to deceive the clan members.”
The long distance in time and space, the insurmountable identity group, and the sensitive ethical obstacles. These problems will continue to ferment after the separation, and they will all be a huge test for this short period of fifteen days.
Now that You Su has said that they have vowed to each other, it does not mean that he will be able to remember this relationship in the future. Even Ji Xueruo himself cannot guarantee it...
In the hundreds of years that the immortal has lived, These fifteen days are as short as a blink of an eye.
You Su felt a dull pain in his heart. In the illusion, he was the more sober one, but when he returned to reality, Ji Xueruo was the one.
"Stop dawdling, we'll talk about it later. After all the hard work, let's get the lotus root heart first."
Ji Xueruo walked quickly with her hands behind her back. In front of Yousu.
She also sees this relationship further than You Su.
......
This embarrassment even infected the two kind lords.
Venerable Chengtao and Venerable Cuihe looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
You obviously kissed me until you lost your mind last night... Why are you so awkward today?
"Ahem." Venerable Chengtao coughed twice and said slowly, "Young Master You and Miss Ji not only broke through Zangtu's illusion, but also broke through Zangshui's conspiracy. They are really a pair of people. Dragon and Phoenix.”
This is not only a compliment, but also a hint of matchmaking.
"Thank you, Lord Chengtao, for the compliment, but this is all the credit of You Gongzi. Xueruo dare not be greedy for credit."
Ji Xueruo's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she only raised her hand in salute.
Even if the Snake Clan is in decline, she is still the leader of the clan, but there is no reason to grovel in front of others, even if the other party is the Lord of the Spiritual Land.
"Why did Miss Ji say this?" You Su frowned, not wanting Ji Xueruo to cut off the relationship just like this, "This is all the result of the joint efforts of Miss Ji and I, how can You Su monopolize it? Credit? "
Venerable Cuihe is a woman and has a delicate mind. He can judge the situation between the two people from just a few words.
She also said: "Yes, Xueruo is too self-effacing. You two are indispensable for this victory. Without Mr. You, I'm afraid none of us would know the clues about the mung bean cake you left behind. I found that thanks to the understanding between you two, I was able to save my Yuhuanchi from water and fire again."
" Aunt Xie Yuhe praised me. "Ji Xueruo obviously has a close relationship with Venerable Cuihe."
Seeing that the girl no longer shied away, Master Chengtao shook his sleeves and smiled. Two brocade bags popped out of his sleeves. They were actually two Qiankun bags embroidered with half a lotus flower each. Even if it is the lowest level, it is still enough to be robbed when released to the outside world.
“The two of you have a great kindness to me, Yuhuanchi. Yuhuanchi has nothing to repay. I can only give you the lotus root heart you asked for and a little bit of my heart in this bag. I, Yuhuanchi, promise that you two will always be Yuhuanchi. Chi's most distinguished guest. Now, come with me to get the lotus root heart."
After saying that, the Qiankun bags in the style of the Taoist couple floated to the two of them. Ji Xueruo hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.
Then the two of them followed the two venerables to the depths of Chengtao Palace.
This place leads directly to the bottom of the pool. The scenery at the bottom of the pool is unobstructed, and you can even see the clam shells crawling on the five-color soil. The water in the pool seemed to be blocked by an invisible membrane, unable to penetrate even half of the ground.
Venerable Chengtao raised his hands, and the five-color soil at the bottom of the pool slowly broke open in two places, and two whitening beads as big as eggs floated up.
The pearls on the spirit beads are flowing, filled with vigorous vitality. Just by looking at them, you can tell that they are extraordinary.
“This is the lotus root heart that matures once a century in Yuhuan Pond. Although Shenxi was possessed by evil spirits, he didn’t lie to you. As Yuhuan Pond dried up, there was naturally something wrong with the lotus root heart. It was the only one in this batch that took shape. There are only these two... After we have been nourishing them with other spiritual treasures for the past few days, we have finally cultivated them."
"What's the problem?" You Su was concerned. asked.
“One of them has some cracks, which does not affect its efficacy, but makes it more difficult to preserve. We cannot take it away with our conventional methods.”
