Chapter 117 - Earthquake
Edited by NZRose
Lin Shu asked, “Can you change back?”
“No, I don’t fit in with the Folding Bamboo sword, so I can’t change at will.” Fruit grabbed the hands of both of them to swing. “I have to wait to go back, I will return to the main form and return the sword to you.”
The form of the fruit is the Beauty’s Grace. This time, the transformation was a coincidence, the Folding Bamboo was not transformed, but the fruit that should not have been transformed was transformed.
According to Fruit, Folding Bamboo also doesn’t know when it would take shape.
Therefore, the fruit cannot disappear out of thin air.
This is a bit troublesome.
If the three of them show up in the village, they would surely be seen by the villagers.
An extra daughter out of thin air?
God knows, in the eyes of the aunt, Lin Shu was still a weak little lady who has just had a miscarriage.
Xiao Shao took out a talisman, “Use this.”
It was a simple invisibility talisman, which was in vain in the eyes of people with cultivation skills. It was sufficient for mortals.
They don’t have to worry now about how to explain to the aunt. Lin Shu looked away from Fruit to see the surrounding scenery.
They were on a mountain at this time. Looking down from the mountain, they saw large green farmland with regular shapes.
To the south, a shimmering stream bypassed around the village and disappeared into the thick green forest.
At the very center was the village, where people could be vaguely seen moving.
The chirping of birds came from the dense forest on the mountain.
It was quiet and beautiful.
Fruit let go of their hands and walked ahead, jumping in the mountain, like a little white butterfly.
Lin Shu and Xiao Shao walked slowly on the road.
From his point of view, he could see the side of Xiao Shao’s face.
He asked, “Do you really have burns on your face?”
Xiao Shao answered, “None.”
Lin Shu asked, “Then why do you wear a mask?”
Xiao Shao’s left hand gently placed on the dark silver mask on his face.
Lin Shu thought he was going to take it off, but he did not and seemed to be touching the lines on it.
“Just reminding myself.” Xiao Shao’s eyes looked into the distance, the corners of his lips were raised, and he said lightly, “That this face does not exist.”
This face does not exist, that is to say, Xiao Shao does not exist in this world.
There was no Xiao Shao, only Ling Fengxiao.
Lin Shu felt that he understood what Xiao Shao wanted to express.
He thought, maybe, only in this isolated peach blossom field, Xiao Shao would appear in his true colors for such a long time.
Why on earth?
Is he going to be like this all the time?
The first question was that, but Xiao Shao had a mantra on him, he could not say it, so he just asked, “When will there be Xiao Shao?”
Xiao Shao put down his hand and said, “When they don’t need Ling Fengxiao anymore.”
This sentence was obscure.
Who are they?
The Dynasty? Or the Phoenix Mountain Villa? Or something else.
Although he could not fully understand the meaning of Xiao Shao’s words, Lin Shu could guess that there were some big things involved in this matter.
Xiao Shao was not only of a royal family but also the successor of Phoenix Mountain Villa. He is in the center of the Dynasty and Immortal Dao. The things and entanglements in this were beyond his understanding.
Having said that, there was nothing to say for a while.
Lin Shu felt that Xiao Shao was different from his cousin.
Cousin was very gentle and amiable, Xiao Shao has a strong sense of presence, and this sense of presence was very aggressive, making him a little bit at a loss on what to say.
After a while, Xiao Shao said, “I also have something to ask you.”
Lin Shu: “What’s the matter?”
“Are you going to return to the Sword Pavilion?”
Lin Shu looked ahead, a little lost.
The Sword Pavilion master was very kind to him, if he could go back, he would naturally want to.
Only because he planned to follow Big Miss before that he let go of this idea.
However, now, Big Miss is a man, and the marriage contract was useless.
He said, “I don’t know.”
“If you are willing to go back, I won’t stop you.” Xiao Shao said. “In the chaos of war, the Sword Pavilion will remain independent and will be much safer.”
Lin Shu: “I will think about it.”
Then it occurred to him that he was still like this, even if he returned to the Sword Pavilion, he would not be able to cultivate.
He said again, “But I have no cultivation base.”
Xiao Shao said, “If you and I dual cultivate, it doesn’t seem to be proper.”
Lin Shu: “Yeah.”
It was normal for him to be a Taoist couple with Big Miss, and then dual cultivate.
But dual cultivating with Xiao Shao was indeed a bit unimaginable.
... It’s not a matter of gender. In ancient books, there was no gender restriction on dual cultivation.
However, he is not familiar with Xiao Shao.
He had almost grasped the temper of Big Miss clearly, and he also had many intimate manners when getting along with her during those days.
But Xiao Shao seemed to be a very distant person.
His personality was remote and mysterious.
Xiao Shao asked, “Do you want to dual cultivate?”
Lin Shu said, “Do you mind if I’m not a girl?”
Xiao Shao: “How about you?”
Lin Shu: “I... don’t know.”
Xiao Shao: “You can try it slowly.”
Lin Shu murmured “En” ambiguously.
If Xiao Shao doesn’t care, he can also try it.
But if he really dual cultivates with him, after he restores his cultivation, where will he go?
He was thinking about it and saw that the fruit in front stopped and went back to their side.
Fruit was holding several plants in his arms and said to them, “There are so many spiritual plants here.”
——Fruit was a spiritual plant. It’s natural for him to find other spiritual plants so quickly.
Xiao Shao took the plants, and Lin Shu looked at them.
He had a class on identifying spiritual plants, and at a glance, he saw several rare elixirs, such as plum blossom and scale plants.
It was so plain-looking that it was hard to find it in the jungle unless it was picked out.
Fruit said, “Could this be an ordinary mountain?”
The spiritual plants needed the soil with enough spiritual energy, so it would not appear in the common mountain forest.
Xiao Shao asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Are there only these few plants? Naturally, there are many more.” Fruit said. “You want to see?”
It was not necessary.
But this mountain seemed unusual.
The realm of mortals lacked spiritual aura, the ground veins were not thriving, and seldom grew spiritual plants and elixir. The rare materials in Immortal Dao were all cultivated and picked in the cave.
In the mortal mountains and forests, after just walking so many dozens of steps, the Fruit picked several celestial plants, which was obviously abnormal.
Could it be said that Peach Blossom Land was not the home of extraordinary people?
However, the village was obviously full of ordinary mortals, there was nothing special with them.
And when he felt it carefully, he didn’t notice that there was plenty of spiritual aura in the air.
Xiao Shao said, “When I resume my cultivation, I can come and investigate.”
Lin Shu nodded.
Fruit didn’t look for other spiritual plants and jumped all the way to the village. When he was about to enter, he was tapped with an invisibility talisman.
——They returned to the village smoothly.
Lin Shu and Fruit went back to the room, but Xiao Shao was asked to stay behind by the aunt.
Aunt was a fat aunt, she wearing a floral cloth, and her face was ruddy.
She was threading the quilt, and Xiao Shao helped her lead it.
Lin Shu looked through the window and secretly observed Xiao Shao.
After a while, a small head appeared in front of him, and Fruit also came to the window, standing on tiptoe to look.
Xiao Shao’s attitude was very correct, he did not see any impatience and even answered a few words gently when the aunt was speaking.
Lin Shu felt that Xiao Shao should really like this quiet life.
He just could not help it. He was a natural.
He thought if things happen one day, would Xiao Shao choose to return to Peach Blossom Land?
Where would he be at that time?
He suddenly felt that the future was very unpredictable.
And the world was so big that he didn’t know where to go.
The day passed so peacefully.
The fruit turned into a ball of white light and sank into the Beauty’s Grace. A moment later, the Beauty’s Grace disappeared and the fruit appeared again.
When the fruit came back to its original body, Lin Shu took back the Folding Bamboo sword.
Compared with the past, the Folding Bamboo sword was slightly different. On the blade, there was a ray of light flowing, which seemed to be more aura.
Lin Shu placed it on his pillow as usual.
Fruit felt that when he became a human, he should follow human habits and tried to sleep with them, which caused this narrow bed to be too crowded, so Xiao Shao carried him out.
Fruit struggled, “Am I not your daughter?”
Xiao Shao: “No.”
Lin Shu watched Xiao Shao suppressing the Fruit and thought that the two were really interesting and got along very well.
After being suppressed, the fruit turned into Beauty’s Grace and stayed on the bedside table aggrievedly.
Xiao Shao said, “In a few days when we have a big bed, you can come back to sleep with us.”
Xiao Shao’s attitude towards fruit seemed very cruel, but in fact, it was actually quite good.
——They all promised to sleep together when they have a big bed. Now, this bed was too narrow.
But the fruit did not appreciate it and said, “Bah!”
Lin Shu: “...”
Xiao Shao pressed the quilt for him, “Go to sleep.”
Lin Shu: “Okay.”
Xiao Shao adjusted Lin Shu’s hair beside his temple, and he could not see his expression.
Lin Shu felt that Xiao Shao seemed to be observing himself, and his fingers lingered on his face for a while.
Then he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Because of something in his heart, Lin Shu could not sleep. He turned around and gently stroked the Folding Bamboo in a daze.
The Folding Bamboo sword body suddenly trembled.
The next moment, he felt Xiao Shao held Guiltless.
All sounds were still.
The next moment, the ground suddenly trembled, accompanied by a huge rumbling sound.
The village was full of barking dogs, mixed with people’s shouts, “The ground has moved” and “The mountains have collapsed”.
Fruit appeared in the room, looking at the north, and said, “Someone is coming over there.”
