Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 126 - 105: Innate Furnace Vessel (Part 3)

"How do you prove it?" Ji Xueruo’s voice was cold and stern. Her arms folded across her chest, accentuating her imposing presence.

Ji Lingruo sighed as if exhausted from her sister’s relentless questioning:

"How else can I prove it? Could my senior brother have two Yang essences?"

Ji Xueruo was momentarily speechless, then insisted, "Without evidence, it’s not credible."

Ji Lingruo glanced at her sister, thinking that this sister was truly stubborn. She knew the way to deal with this self-righteous sister was to provoke her, so she set her heart on it and said:

"In this world, my senior brother is likely the only one with a Heavenly Furnace body. If you want evidence, go find him yourself. Although his Yang essence is gone, the future effects shouldn’t be too bad. It could definitely elevate you."

"Ji Lingruo!" Ji Xueruo fumed, her eyebrows raised angrily. "Even if you’re upset that I don’t believe you, you shouldn’t spout such nonsense! I am the clan leader; there’s no chance I rely on a man to grow stronger!"

Ji Lingruo tilted her chin slightly, a carefree expression on her face. Looking at her sister’s demeanor, she knew that her sister likely believed most of her words. Next, she just had to describe You Su, the Sword Sect, and the Lotus Sword Venerable’s background in a mysterious way, and her sister would surely stop doubting.

After all, a sister completely uninterested in men wouldn’t actually seek senior brother for proof, would she?

However, You Su truly is handsome...

With this thought, Ji Lingruo once again examined the distinguished snake demon with an angry expression, choosing to believe that her sister, dedicated to leading the Snake Race to glory, would not be swayed by mere looks.

She apologetically held Ji Xueruo’s forearm, affectionately sitting close to her sister, pulling her to the bedside, and softly said:

"Sis, I’m sorry. It’s just that I really wanted to prove I wasn’t lying to you. Listen to the stories of the past three years with senior brother, and you’ll know what kind of person he is."

With that, she leaned her head on the shoulder of the girl in black, appearing full of sisterly affection.

Ji Xueruo, whose longing for her sister had persisted over three years of separation, was evidently moved by Ji Lingruo’s demeanor. Her body relaxed, and her noble yet resolute aura softened considerably. At this moment, she was no longer the busy female emperor of the Snake Race, but simply a gentle sister wanting to hear her sibling’s tales.

"Hmm."

Ji Lingruo smiled sweetly, beginning her narration.

Their identical, unparalleled beauty presented contrary temperaments. Together they leaned closely, amidst candlelight and night, composing a poetic tableau.

...

The sun rose.

Across the vast ocean horizon, a scarlet dawn spread like a wave, illuminating the sea and sky, awakening countless living beings.

Flocks of seagulls noisily flew over the Divine Feather Ship, and occasional flying fish leapt from the water, colliding with the majestic hull.

Between Zhongyuan Continent and East Japan Continent, three Divine Feather Ships operated, each docking at the harbor for five days, during which repair work took place and they awaited passengers authorized by the Divine Mountain from both continents to board, before undertaking the arduous journey of over ten days to the opposite shore.

Today marked the fifth day this Divine Feather Ship docked.

In the vast harbor, passengers hurriedly arrived on the last day, including mortals, cultivators, and demons. Despite the animosity between humans and demons, exchange of goods and trade remained crucial to the development of the continents.

At this moment, from the bow of the Divine Feather Ship came a deafening roar, urging passengers to quickly embark.

At the room reserved for esteemed guests, a girl in black silently gazed at the expansive land of Central Continent behind the port.

An old woman broke the silence:

"Miss, are you truly not returning?"

Ji Xueruo, hearing this, glanced into the room at Ji Lingruo, asleep after talking all night, with a doting smile:

"Hmm, the continent pass I’ve applied for is valid for a year. You all go first; no need to wait for me."

"For You Su?" Ms Liou tentatively inquired.

Ji Xueruo directed her gaze toward the bustling crowd below, each person with a unique face, yet each concealing different secrets beneath their own facade, replying:

"It’s one of the goals; I want to observe if this blind person is truly as good as Lingruo claims. As Ji Xueruo’s brother-in-law, he needs my personal approval."

"Miss, please don’t act impulsively!" Ms Liou sensed the cold undertone in the girl’s words, issuing a swift warning.

"Ms Liou need not worry. If he genuinely treats Lingruo well, I won’t obstruct them. If his affection is fraudulent! Regardless of who he is, even if backed by Lotus Sword Venerable, I’ll make him pay!"

Ms Liou sighed, thinking how much Miss truly cares for her sister.

In Ji Lingruo’s all-night narration, You Su was depicted as an unfortunate blind child, beyond possessing the alluring Heavenly Furnace physique that female cultivators lusted over. He demonstrated rare Sword Dao talent, taken as the sole disciple by the fallen Mandarin Duck Sword Sect’s Sect Leader. More startling was that Lotus Sword Venerable was the Sect Leader’s partner, thus his master. Such background ranked among the top of the Immortal Families.

Further details revealed that despite being blind, You Su was a youth with no flaws aside from slight licentiousness and stubbornness, even offering his most precious Yang essence to Ji Lingruo to affirm his love.

What more could a woman desire from such a husband?

Suddenly, Ms Liou seemed to recall something, her eyes flickering with concern and hesitation, eventually probing:

"Miss’s primary objective is the trial on Star Shining Divine Mountain, isn’t it?"

Ji Xueruo turned to this old woman who had accompanied her for seventeen years, her gaze resolute:

"My initial aim was solely to find Lingruo, unconcerned with the trial. Yet now I realize Lingruo possesses a greater opportunity, likely more suited to lead the Snake Race than me. This is fortunate, allowing this failing sister to contribute further to the clan."

"Ms Liou, it’s been hard on you. If I don’t return in a year, Lingruo will be the new clan leader."

Hearing this, tears welled in Ms Liou’s murky eyes, yet the girl in black had vanished among the thronged crowd below...
