Fairy, Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Blind

Chapter 107: Master’s Wife’s Gift for Her Disciple

After an unknown amount of time floating in that ethereal, mysterious pool, You Su finally woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes, but instead of the usual blurry vision, what greeted him was an exquisitely crafted jade rabbit mask.

Snow-white hair cascaded like a waterfall onto the pillow beside him, and a faint, refreshing fragrance filled the air. The owner of the mask had a pair of clear, flowing blue eyes. She was lying on her side next to You Su, silently staring into his pitch-black eyes.

?

“Senior Sister!”

You Su quickly sat up and leaned back, clearly startled. He had just woken up and suddenly opened his eyes, only to be caught by his Senior Sister. This caught him completely off guard.

He checked his body internally and felt that his spiritual energy was abundant and robust, as if his entire being had been bathed in a spiritual spring. It seemed that, just like the time he woke up in the coffin, his eyes would open on their own when his body reached its optimal state.

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu slowly propped herself up, her eyes pure and devoid of any confusion:

“Junior Brother, your eyes are so beautiful.”

Beautiful?! Shouldn’t a normal person be scared?

You Su was also stunned by Heavenly Maiden Wangshu’s sudden and sincere compliment. He instinctively replied:

“Thank you.”

Then the two of them sat upright on the bed, falling into a brief silence.

You Su found it strange. Shouldn’t his Senior Sister be asking more questions about his eyes? Why did she seem completely uninterested?

You Su decided to change the subject. He looked around the room. It wasn’t large, and the decor was simple, very similar to the style of his room back at the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect.

“Senior Sister, where are we?”

“Your room.”

…Then why were you sleeping in my room?

“Senior Sister, how long have I been asleep?”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu tapped her mask with her index finger, thinking for a moment before answering, “Two days.”

You Su nodded slightly. He had a strange intuition that he had slept here for two days, and during that time, his Senior Sister had probably been keeping him company.

He asked again, “What happened to me that day? I remember Master’s Wife touched my forehead, and then I fell asleep.”

“It was the Immortal Seed that Master planted in your body. You fell asleep because you were adapting to it.”

“Immortal Seed? What’s that?”

As You Su asked this, he could feel a burning sensation on his forehead. A simple and elegant lotus pattern faintly glowed there before disappearing again.

“An Immortal Seed is an artificial spiritual treasure created by cultivators at the Void Realm or above through secret techniques. It’s usually planted by elders into the bodies of their most important juniors. It has many wonderful uses. It can help the host overcome confusion, stabilize their mental state, nourish their spiritual sense, and clear their meridians. Most importantly, when the host’s spiritual energy is exhausted, they can digest the Immortal Seed and absorb the vast spiritual energy contained within it.”

You Su’s expression turned to one of surprise. This lotus Immortal Seed that Master’s Wife had planted in him was undoubtedly a powerful trump card that would benefit him greatly. He hadn’t expected that, upon becoming her disciple, before he could even offer any gifts, Master’s Wife had already given him such a precious treasure.

Thinking of this, he recalled the warm embrace before he fell asleep, feeling as if he had been wrapped in warm sunlight. Master’s Wife was no longer just a nominal Master’s Wife—she had truly become his Master’s Wife.

He then asked, “Does Senior Sister have one too?”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu shook her head, and You Su was even more shocked. He hadn’t realized that he held such a special place in Master’s Wife’s heart.

“My body can’t accommodate an Immortal Seed,” Heavenly Maiden Wangshu said calmly, her tone devoid of any jealousy or regret. She was simply stating a fact.

You Su felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t press further. He adjusted his emotions and asked:

“Does planting this Immortal Seed cause any harm to Master’s Wife?”

“Most of the spiritual energy one refines is difficult to give to others, so Immortal Seeds are made from the purest spiritual energy. Planting an Immortal Seed causes significant damage to the planter’s cultivation, realm, and spiritual sense.”

“Is that so…”

You Su murmured to himself, his heart filled with complex emotions.

It made sense. According to his Senior Sister, the Immortal Seed was a condensed form of Master’s Wife’s pure spiritual energy and vitality. Yet, she had forcibly separated it and planted it into his body.

This was like having a large part of one’s body suddenly torn away. How could that not cause harm?

“How is Master’s Wife now?”

“After planting the Immortal Seed, Master went into seclusion at the peak of the mountain. She told us not to disturb her unless necessary. I’ll take care of you, Junior Brother, just like Master took care of me when I was young.”

You Su frowned, vowing in his heart to find a gift worthy of this Immortal Seed to repay Master’s Wife.

At that moment, the clear world in his eyes blurred again, and his pitch-black pupils returned to normal. The topic was unavoidable, so You Su said:

“Senior Sister, my eyes… sometimes turn like this. But I’m not a monster. Please don’t tell anyone.”

“Mm.” Heavenly Maiden Wangshu nodded obediently. “I know. Things that can’t be told to others are called secrets. I have secrets like that too. Master told me not to tell anyone.”

Her tone sounded like an older sister patiently comforting a frightened younger brother.

You Su recalled his Senior Sister’s appearance before his vision faded—her snow-white hair, swan-like neck, and delicate upper body curves. She possessed all the qualities of a goddess, but nothing was as striking as the jade rabbit mask covering her face.

He was a bit stunned, guessing that the secret his Senior Sister couldn’t reveal might be the face hidden beneath that mask. That was why she wore it at all times, even while sleeping.

As he was lost in thought, Heavenly Maiden Wangshu reached out and gently placed her hand on his head, softly ruffling his hair.

You Su’s eyes widened, and he quickly ducked away. Heavenly Maiden Wangshu tilted her head, her blue eyes filled with confusion as she asked:

“Junior Brother, don’t you like it?”

You Su looked at Heavenly Maiden Wangshu, who was sitting on the same bed, just an arm’s length away from him. He recalled how she had been close to him when he woke up on the boat. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if his Senior Sister was being overly affectionate with her new Junior Brother or if she was simply too innocent to understand the boundaries between men and women.

Judging by her tone, he couldn’t bring himself to say “I don’t like it,” so he replied:

“I do like it, but Senior Sister, actions depend on the person, the setting, and the timing.”

You Su felt it was necessary to correct his Senior Sister’s mindset to avoid situations like today, where his eyes were discovered.

“What does that mean?”

Heavenly Maiden Wangshu withdrew her hand and placed both hands on her knees, sitting upright like a well-behaved student eager to learn.

You Su coughed lightly, thinking to himself that teaching his Senior Sister such things on a bed might not be appropriate.
