i have a sword fairy

Chapter 397 Rather than standing in the Nine Heavens Cold Palace for a thousand years, it is better to have a big dream in the world of mortals
"Do you want to go to Nine Heavens Cold Palace?"

"Nine... Nine Heavens Cold Palace?"

In a misty bathroom that looks like a fairyland, beside a bathtub, two women with different identities are having a strange conversation.

A stunning young girl with three thousand hairs and wet hair, completely naked, stood inside the barrel.

Warm water drops fall from forests, snow-capped mountains and valleys.

In the bathtub, in the steaming white water vapor, the shadow is about a piece of pure white.

With one hand, she was tightly clutching the hot towel on the side of the bucket, and with the other hand, she was grasping the slender wrist of a little toothless maid outside the bucket with a surprised and puzzled expression on her face.

Luo Xiu nodded and stared at Xiao Yu.

The latter thought about this extremely strange question and shook his head.

Luo Xiu looked confused, "Why?"

There are women from the land who do not desire to go to the Nine Heavens Cold Palace, this is also the belief of all the women from the Lefang Division.

Xiaoyu looked at the strange reaction of this stunning girl who seemed to be extremely noble, and said timidly: "Xiaoyu can't fly, and is afraid... afraid of heights, and dare not go to the roof of the building on the boat."

Luo Xiu asked: "What if you can fly? Also... don't be afraid of heights, you have the opportunity to go to the Nine Heavens Cold Palace, do you want to go there?"

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, but in the next second he still said, "No."

"Why! Do you know that the Nine Heavens Cold Palace is the place we Li Nu have dreamed of, a dream that has been lingering for thousands of years for generations of Li Di ancestors!" Luo Xiu's tone was hurried and bewildered. , the moonlight quenches the body, the spirit condenses the soul, cuts away all love and karma, never ages or dies, carefree..."

The little girl with missing teeth shrank back in fright, her eyes looked at the wrist held by the strange fairy in front of her, she bit her lip and fell silent for a while, then whispered truthfully:

"I know, why don't I know, it's just that Xiaoyu thinks...the Nine Heavens Cold Palace they often talk about is too far away, and look, the moon is white and deserted, and it is also desolate and cold in the legend , How lonely and lonely it would be to go there...

"Will there be... will there be fish? Well, I don't think they will be eaten. The fish raised in the Moon Palace must be more precious than the spirit fish in Xingzi Lake. Ten thousand small fish are not as valuable as it. It, it It's about the same as eating me. And after going up, you can't come down again. They say you can live forever...

"Doesn't that mean that you will stay there forever? According to legend, the goddesses who sneaked down were all caught back. Well, this is the same as the little fish. They have to stay on the boat, so they just changed to a taller and bigger one. It’s a place, but it’s full of goddesses and fairies, and there must be more rules than here, but it’s not as lively as our Zuixianlou.”

The little girl with missing teeth paused for a moment, looked up at Luo Xiu who was suddenly stunned, pursed her lips forcefully, then mustered up her courage and said:
"I... I don't want to be lonely, I want friends and I want to be lively, if I can fly... then..." In the mist that filled the water, her bright star-like eyes dimmed slightly, and she looked down at her mended toes, "It's just... where can I fly? A small fish can't even swim, and it's so thin. If it grows wings and flies like a magpie, does it take a lot of meat to supplement it..."

Seeing that the fairy in the tub with a strange body and a strange person seemed to be listening carefully, Xiaoyu couldn't help but become more courageous, thinking that she was very kind, and the little girl started chattering.

At this moment, the eyes of the stunning girl with the pseudonym Luoxiu had a look of relief mixed with a look of disillusionment.

"The daughter of the boat family... the daughter of the moon... the Nine Heavens Cold Palace... the Goddess of the Moon Palace... so it is so, so it is so." Luo Xiu murmured, fell back and sat in the water again, the water splashed, and she The same mind was in shock, with a miserable look, "All... are just people on the ship, but they just changed from a small ship to another big ship, and they can't escape the same fate. People on board!"

"It's boring, it's boring, it's really boring..." The next second, the numb sleeveless expression stopped, and she smiled gorgeously again. She let go of the painful little fish's slender wrist, and said with a sweet smile:

"Wash off the crescents for me. All of them."

Xiaoyu froze with another little maid, according to Yueniang's instructions, she asked them to use the special method she taught to wash away two places and leave one for the fairy in front of her.

But when the two girls thought about how Yueniang was respectful and cautious in front of this strange fairy in the bathtub, the two little maids looked at each other, and then they responded.

After a stick of incense.

The tub behind the screen had already dissipated, and there was no one there.

In front of the vanity mirror in the Warm Pavilion, Xiaoyu and another little maid are busy combing and grooming the stunning girl after bathing and cleansing.

Suddenly, the quiet Luoxiu stretched out Xiaoyu's hand to take the jade hairpin and pressed it.

She shook her head slightly at him, then she took out a butterfly hairpin that glowed faintly green under the lamplight, and inserted it between the beautiful and soft black hair with a light smile.

The heart is ashamed.

The stunning girl who was named "Cicada Girl" by the current Empress Dowager herself, sat in front of the vanity mirror, quietly looking at the pure and beautiful face in the mirror, just like a man's first love.

She tilted her head slightly and said softly:
"If you don't want to go to the Nine Heavens Cold Palace, then you have something you want to do, something interesting."

The tone is calm and casual.

Xiaoyu froze for a moment before realizing that he was talking to her, scratching his head, "Yes... Yes."

With a lack of teeth, her speech was a bit leaky:

"Well, there are two things I want to do."

"One wants to eat fish, and burps until it's full." The little fish looked a little embarrassed, "The other wants to get off the boat and go for a walk on land, but the little fish is not trying to escape in a whimsical way, it's just... I just want to climb up the mountain in front to see what is behind the mountain, I heard that there is a higher mountain behind, but if it is higher than it, why can’t the little fish see it on the boat.”

The other little girl who was doing her dressing giggled and looked at Xiaoyu who was whimsical and daydreaming with teasing and sarcastic eyes.

The little maid with missing teeth turned her eyes sideways and closed her mouth, not daring to look at her companions, her eyes were depressed and inferior.

"Oh."

Luo Xiu ignored the two little girls, and did not speak again. She silently looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, like a delicate wooden doll that had learned to breathe, unable to conceal the numbness of her heart.

The joys and sorrows of others have nothing to do with her, she can't even save herself.

……

A barefoot girl in a red dress was running against the night wind.

There was a bright moon above the head, and the figures shuttled across the roofs of Xingzi Town.

She was radiant, her black hair was tied into a high ponytail, her red dress was simple, revealing a round and fair shoulder, and she strode forward with two slender and well-proportioned legs.

Sassy and chivalrous.

At a certain moment, when Luo Xiu jumped up on the roof of a ten-foot-high mansion, the red sleeve of her right hand suddenly scattered its brilliance, like a leaky rice bag, leaking the silver brilliance.

Smooth and slowly covering the whole body of the sleeves, making her shine, like a goddess descending from the moon palace, carrying a part of the moonlight, it is a walking crescent moon.

At this time, anyone with sharp eyes will definitely see the right cuff of the ruffled sleeves, and there is a faint piece of white gauze, which seems to be cut from a certain piece of clothing. There are dozens of handsome cursive scripts on it, faintly It can be seen that the words "the beauty of the North Country, the bright eyebrows and the crescent moon" and so on.

Luo Xiu, who ran silently at night, was quenched by the radiance of aura greeted by this falling flower poem, and left lightly like a goddess for a moment.

Not long after, when the buildings became less and less and she was about to leave the town, the footsteps of this stunning girl in a red dress and bare feet gradually slowed down.

Soon, her slender figure stopped on a deserted house.

Luo Xiu looked at the beautiful scenery of Jiangyue in front of him, and stood still.

At a certain moment, she turned her body sideways and looked towards the direction of Xingzi Lake. From a distance, there was a tall painting boat moored quietly in the center of the lake.

Luo Xiu whispered something to herself, and in the next second, she no longer hesitated, and ran towards Xingzi Lake in a flash.

Only a few words remained in the howling night wind.

"Although joys and sorrows are not interlinked, they have the same fate but they sympathize with each other... That young master treats me roughly the same..."

……

In a narrow and damp cabin, the flame of the kettle was shaking violently.

Because Night Breeze broke in through the door that was suddenly opened.

A little girl with missing teeth was packing her things in a panic and hurriedly. She opened her thin arms, trying to hide all the delicious food in her arms, so as not to be caught by the person behind her. The figure that appeared suddenly caught.

But it's a pity, compared with the dazzling array of food on the floor, her small body is simply insignificant.

The little fish was throwing herself on the ground—she was rolling happily among the snacks and eating delicious dried fish just now—she kept her posture, hugging a bunch of snacks and the precious little dried fish, timidly Turning around, he looked helplessly at the figure of the uninvited guest in front of the door.

"Sister Fairy?"

After seeing the person coming, Xiaoyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she looked at her appearance and the delicious snacks on the ground, with a little embarrassed expression on her little face, "You...you come, don't you? hungry?"

Luo Xiu didn't close the door, and took a few steps forward, looking around curiously.

Her eyes swept over the live stove with swaying flames, the pile of snacks on the ground mainly dried fish, the greedy little girl with missing teeth and other things, and finally landed on the slightly wet pink one. on the handkerchief.

Luo Xiu looked at the night sky outside thoughtfully, nodded slightly, and then said softly: "I'm not hungry, you eat, I... I'm not here to grab food from you, and I won't tell others. "

"Oh." Xiaoyu replied weakly, glanced at the stunning girl in cool clothes in front of him, got up and trotted to get a blanket, and handed it to Luo Xiu, "Sister Fairy, why did you come to find me?" What's the matter, and why are you dressed like this, isn't it cold?"

Luo Xiu took the blanket in a daze, scratched it with five fingers, looked down at the washed-up old blanket and Xiaoyu's worried little face, pursed his lips, "Thank you, Xiaoyu."

The little girl with missing teeth put her palms together, tilted her head and smiled, accidentally revealing the air leaking gums, and quickly 'faced down'.

In the cabin, the stunning young girl who was the top Qing Dynasty lady not long ago suddenly squatted down. She stroked Xiaoyu's face with her slender right hand, which was still shining bright moonlight just now, staring into her eyes and said seriously:
"I'm leaving."

Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback.

"There is an interesting and unpredictable son who gave me another life." Luo Xiu calmly said, her fingers helped Xiaoyu smooth out the messy hair scattered on the malnourished little face, and the white palm He helped the little girl wipe the corners of her lips with dried fish residue, then lowered her eyes:
"I came to you before I left because I wanted to ask one thing."

Looking at the fairy sister who came to look for her in the middle of the night, Xiaoyu somehow thought of something.

"What, what?" Her voice trembled subconsciously.

Luo Xiu stared into her eyes, and strangely repeated the question he asked Xiaoyu when he was bathing and dressing in the evening:
"Is there anything you want to do? Something interesting?"

Xiaoyu hugged the dried fish snacks in her arms, looked up at her, and said truthfully: "Before tonight, Xiaoyu wanted to eat fish until he was full, and wanted to see what was on the other side of the mountain. But tonight, This handkerchief given by the nobleman I met contains..."

She looked down at the snacks in her bosom and on the ground, "There are a lot of dried fish, the little fish couldn't help but eat a little, hiccup~ well, I'm full..."

The little girl with missing teeth looked away and blushed a little and said, "I just don't know if the nobleman gave it to Xiao Yu pitifully, or if he forgot to take it away... But no matter what it is, I hope to see you again in this life." She should at least say thank you, and then return the handkerchief and dried fish, or repay her kindness..."

She paused, lowered her head, and said with a look of inferiority on her small face: "Forget it, I don't know if the nobleman still remembers Xiaoyu, but I think this handkerchief should be very important to the nobleman."

Luo Xiu quietly looked at the little girl with missing teeth and the pink handkerchief in her hand, and listened silently.

Xiaoyu looked down at the playful words and patterns on Xiaoqian'er's snack handkerchief, scratched his little head annoyed, and said to himself: "Xiaoyu shouldn't accept it, just find the spring water sooner, the nobleman may I'm getting impatient waiting, it's all Xiaoyu's fault... I shouldn't be greedy for dried fish."

Luo Xiu suddenly interrupted:
"She gave it to you. This method of washing the handkerchief after boiling the clear spring water with a little spiritual energy is a relatively old method, which can make those who have no spiritual energy cultivated from the unrestricted Sumeru It's something out of the ordinary, so... she gave it to you, so you don't have to blame yourself. "

Xiaoyu was stunned, grabbed the snack handkerchief and dried fish, nodded, then kept quiet for a moment, raised her head and smiled slightly, "Oh, I just don't know if your lord will come to Zuixianlou again."

Luo Xiu suddenly said: "Why didn't you get off the boat and take the initiative to find her?"

Xiaoyu shivered, holding the handkerchief in his arms and shrinking, "Go, where to find it."

The stunning girl in the red dress and barefoot stood up, looked at Xiaoyu who dared not stand up from top to bottom, and shook her head:
"Who is this noble person you met? Where is she? I don't know. But I know, if you don't disembark, wait passively, and be a person on board who dare not set foot on land, then you will never meet her in your life."

"I...I..." Xiaoyu's body trembled even more, her breath became short of breath, she looked up at the woman in front of her who seemed to be about to leave at any time, and said, "Can I see her...I..."

The face of that indifferent young nobleman appeared again in the mind of the little girl with missing teeth. She was so handsome and noble, and she seemed to be a powerful practitioner, but this indifferent young nobleman seemed to show her In addition to smiling, gentle and considerate, he is a faintly isolated and unfamiliar gesture to other outsiders.

Xiaoyu clearly wanted to get close for no reason but felt a deep estrangement at the same time. This was a gap in status, and it was also a difficult hurdle in her heart. It seemed that even Xiaoyu felt that she had lost her qualifications to repay the handkerchief.

At this moment, the little girl with missing teeth had a complicated look on her face, with low self-esteem, expectations, and fears...

Luo Xiu looked at her deeply, "Then wait until you grow up and feel that you can stand in front of her, and then go to her to return the handkerchief. But the premise of all this is to leave the ship first."

The little fish froze.

Luo Xiu turned around quietly and walked towards the cabin door.

Xiaoyu's voice suddenly came: "Sister Fairy, why are you helping Xiaoyu?"

Luo Xiu's figure paused slightly, "I didn't help you, if I insisted on helping someone, it would be myself. From the beginning to the end, I was doing something that I found interesting and liked, just like that young master."

At the end of the sentence, she still walked out the door silently, turned around and looked at Xiao Yu calmly, stretched out a hand gently, and crossed the threshold.

This mother is an ordinary brothel singer, and the father is a "wild species" who is not known to be a drinker, and the toothless little girl curled up in place, staring blankly at that hand.

night, quiet.

Not long after, the stove in the narrow cabin was extinguished and plunged into darkness.

There was no one in the house anymore.
