Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 302 - 179: Just Love Stealing the Flowers Others Worked Hard to Grow

"Third Elder... maybe I should just walk there!"

You Su clutched a section of bamboo stick tightly, hanging with his whole body on it, with faint clouds and ethereal buildings below him. He looked like a man falling off a cliff, clinging desperately to a lifeline.

The Third Elder was beside him, leisurely sitting on a blue boat, heading back to her own Bihua Peak. Under her guidance, You Su was suspended by the flying stick, traveling along with her.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you grew up holding things and are skilled at it?"

The Third Elder’s jade feet hung in the air, crossing over each other, the low slit on the side of her qipao revealing half of her lustrous thigh. She took a sip of immortal wine, turned sideways teasing You Su, with one side of her full buttocks slightly squished out of shape.

The wind high above was tumultuous. A Spirit Platform Realm like You Su didn’t have the power to emit Profound Qi externally, so he could only let the autumn wind scatter his black hair and blow into his robes.

Obviously, riding the blue boat with the Third Elder was impossible, but as a Venerable of the Void Realm, the Third Elder could effortlessly shield You Su from the wind and rain. Deliberately not doing so, she still seemed to be upset about the senior sister calling her ’dumb.’ She dared not vent on the senior sister, so she transferred her anger onto him.

You Su felt helpless and did not reply. Just when he thought the Third Elder was not bad to him, he was teased by her like this, leaving him unable to fathom the Third Elder’s intentions.

However, he wouldn’t wag his tail and beg. The more the Third Elder wanted him to suffer, the less he would let her get her way. He simply opened his mouth, letting the wind puff up his cheeks, immersing himself in the wild and exhilarating flight.

"Little flying stick, here we go~"

You Su found amusement amidst bitterness, exclaiming tremulously, like a little boy finding joy in novelties.

The Third Elder, seeing him so content, ironically didn’t want him to be so satisfied; with a flip of her hand, the flying stick slipped from You Su’s grasp, catching him before he plummeted.

You Su straddled the bamboo stick in flight, instantly feeling much more relaxed, no longer sensing the strong wind on his face. He couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, having figured out how to deal with the Third Elder.

That was to comply with her wishes, as long as she felt that way she couldn’t achieve her goals, she would have a reversal of mind.

"Third Elder, why won’t you let me keep holding onto the stick? I was just getting used to it," You Su pretended to lament.

The Third Elder sneered, sure enough not wanting You Su’s wish to be granted:

"Isn’t the stick right between your legs? If you want to hold it, go ahead. Dangling while holding it like that was too dangerous, best to play around, but don’t try it again."

You Su feigned disappointment with a sigh but in reality, he was secretly delighted while sitting on the flying stick.

Soon, the lush Bihua Peak was reached.

The Third Elder led You Su to a place to land, a rarely traveled, secluded spot on Bihua Peak, surrounded by a few towering ancient trees and a tranquil bamboo forest, with the faint sound of a waterfall in the background.

The Third Elder lightly waved her sleeve, and the blue boat silently disappeared, while the bamboo stick still lay horizontally in front of You Su.

"This is a gift for you, it’s called a Cloud Bamboo, a natural flying magical artifact cultivated by me. It can fly without those cumbersome procedures of carving formations. Like the blue boat that lives on dew, as long as you remember to feed it clouds, it can keep flying. Treat it well, don’t let me see it wither one day, or else you’ll be in for it."

The Third Elder spoke with rare tenderness, as if entrusting her carefully nurtured child to someone else.

You Su was startled, quickly saying, "Third Elder, this gift is too precious! You Su truly cannot bear it!"

Flying magical artifacts are considered the most expensive and rare type of magical artifact. It’s known that for long-distance travel, most Feather Transformation Realm cultivators still rely on flying magical artifacts. Yet even among the Feather Transformation Realm cultivators, few possess flying magical artifacts, let alone a Cloud Bamboo usable by the Middle Spirit Platform Realm.

The Third Elder cast him a disdainful glance, "If I, as the Venerable, give it to you, just accept it. Being the disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable, don’t act like you’ve never seen the world."

The bit of resentment You Su had from the Third Elder’s teasing dissipated completely, and he bowed sincerely to express his gratitude:

"You Su thanks the Third Elder."

"It’s not over yet, don’t let your jaw drop." The Third Elder took a shallow sip and continued to walk ahead, into the bamboo forest.

You Su placed his hand on the Cloud Bamboo, but unfortunately, it wasn’t as mystical as the blue boat, unable to change in size. You Su, looking at this bamboo stick not much thicker or longer than a flute, simply tucked it at his waist.

The Third Elder, noticing You Su not following, looked back and saw him in his black robe, with an Ink Sword and a flute at his side, truly looking dashing and carefree. The Third Elder turned to continue walking, muttering faintly to herself: "All show and no substance."

You Su naturally didn’t hear, trotting to follow the Third Elder into the bamboo forest.

The further they went, the clearer the sound of the waterfall became.

You Su couldn’t see, but his sense of smell was keen. The thick medicinal fragrance in the air almost overpowered the rich fragrance on the Third Elder’s body.

After traversing through lush scenery, the Third Elder suddenly stopped, and before her lay a field of medicinal herbs, with strange flowers and herbs blooming in competition, the fragrance intoxicating and the myriad colors dazzling like a rainbow. Each plant in the medicinal field harbored potent life force and spirituality, as if each had stories to tell.

You Su had some knowledge of herbs, knowing that based on quality, they could be categorized from treasure medicines, spirit medicines to immortal elixirs, further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. In this medicinal field, the least was a middle-grade spirit medicine, with quite a few immortal elixirs as well.
