Chapter 289: Chapter 174: Junior Brother Took the Initiative to Touch Me..._2
More terrifyingly, You Su inexplicably felt a surge of impulse in his heart, an urge to accept this piece of gold paper...
And in this brief moment of hesitation, the tentacles fell off instantly, and the gold paper immediately dimmed—its true color was not gold but a deep black.
Looking at this entirely pitch-black, tentacle-draped strange piece of paper, it resembled a dead peculiar creature.
You Su didn’t have time to care what it was, because the strange golden color on the paper was now piercing into his body!
Using his Divine Sense to inspect inwardly, he indeed found a small golden worm nestled in the small space at the top half of his skull! This is the true form of the wordless gold paper!
What on earth is this?!
And at the very moment You Su had this question, the images that originally appeared on the gold paper now appeared in his Sea of Consciousness!
The only difference from before was that the fourth black line was more distinct, showing a golden parasitic worm beneath Taisui.
This golden worm was exactly the same as the one You Su observed with his Divine Sense, hidden in his own brain!
The true form of this gold paper, like Taisui, is a special evil entity that doesn’t belong to the three major Evil Gods?
But according to previous speculations, its presence here suggests that he has also absorbed the power of this golden worm?
The facts seem to indeed be the case; these patterns are entirely under his control, summoned and dispelled at will.
The reason Taisui was willing to offer its power to him was that he became the True Lord; this golden worm must be the same. The mysterious calling he felt in the Book Mountain Pavilion was not directed at him, but at the True Lord within him.
Taisui’s power gave him an endless source of strength, and the visualization of that power unique to the True Lord is the prowess of this golden worm.
You Su logically arrived at a hypothesis: the existence of the True Lord is like the giant whale in a nursery rhyme, from whose fall all things arise.
he is the source of all evil entities, but he himself is not necessarily evil, just as the source of good is not necessarily good.
Her blood and flesh transformed into the Master of Flesh and Blood, her control over elements turned into the Lord of Five Elements, and her Divine Sense became the Master of Dreams.
The remaining powers transformed into special evil entities, becoming heterodox not belonging to the three major Evil Gods.
And the mantra that speaks of cutting off the path of sin is actually the True Lord continually punishing sinful ministers, thus reclaiming power.
He promised Cang Shui that he would avenge her, and when he truly could kill the Lord of Five Elements and the Master of Dreams one day, what would he become?
You Su marveled at the twists and turns behind this ancient secret about the origin of evil entities, and many doubts and uneasiness arose in his mind, albeit faintly, there was also a trace of excitement.
Once upon a time, the young You Su hid in the utility room of the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect, sighing, thinking he was the world’s discarded scraps. Yet until this moment, he suddenly had a strong intuition that he would really be the protagonist of this world.
...
You Su did not sleep all night, yet now, with the bright daylight, he showed no signs of weariness.
Throughout the night, he was tossing over two matters:
The first was why the body of the golden worm, with its eight tentacles, did not melt into a puddle like previous evil entities.
The second was how his ink-colored eyes covered in green light differed from before?
Unfortunately, neither matter became clear to him; instead, he developed more confusion and anxiety.
Is the Power of the True God a blessing or a burden for him?
His experience is too scant, and now, possessing an identity and secrets not matching his experience only makes him feel more fearful.
During previous times of confusion, his master would guide him with his fists, and now, he even misses the harsh fists of his master.
You Su decided to confess everything to his master once she finished refining her life artifact, to seek her guidance.
Until then, he also set several goals for himself.
To learn more about evil entities, to understand the function of the hidden soil power without exposing it to outsiders, and to figure out the features and disadvantages of a retinue.
Meanwhile, he also needs to cultivate and enjoy the beauty on the Lotus Peak.
You Su waved with a smile, his eyes clear and bright:
"Senior Sister."
Fairy Wangshu was reluctant to take off the somewhat cumbersome white fox cloak; startled by You Su’s greeting as she just stepped out, she paused for a moment before slightly nodding her head in response.
As You Su approached her, she wanted to hurry back to her room in fear, but You Su wouldn’t let her do that, asking:
"Senior Sister, did the Junior Brother do something wrong?"
Wangshu Fairy halted at those words, shaking her head, "The Junior Brother did nothing wrong."
"Then why is the senior sister avoiding me?" You Su asked puzzled.
If the senior sister, as the Third Elder said, was joyful beyond expression, then why avoid me deliberately?
"I..."
Fairy Wangshu had a pure mind, always straightforward and candid, but You Su seemed like ink diffusing in clear water, complicating the clear thoughts of this girl, leaving even herself at a loss about how to express.
So, the girl decided to run away again, but a hand grasped her.
Feeling the rough texture on her wrist, though she didn’t know why, she strangely felt the worries in her heart unravel one by one. She blinked her lovely blue eyes, growing ever clearer with understanding.
Since their first meeting, she felt a peculiar closeness to You Su. Later, her master told her he would be her one and only Junior Brother, and after being isolated in cultivation for so long, she could not bear to leave his side, wanting to know everything about him.
You Su was blind and couldn’t see, so he wouldn’t, like others, fantasize about her revealing her true face hidden by a mask all day, which increased her fondness for him.
She happily wanted to be close to her Junior Brother like her other Junior Sister, but he seemed unwelcome, repeatedly using ’gender difference’ as an excuse to refuse her.
Initially, she wasn’t too upset, but discovering that her Junior Brother could soak in the pool naked with their master deeply saddened her.
She couldn’t understand why her Junior Brother, who did not care about gender boundaries with others, only highlighted it with her, as if she was just an outsider to him.
So, she couldn’t accept the poem You Su gifted her yesterday calmly, even though she really liked it. Her simple mind couldn’t grasp You Su’s thoughts, nor see her own heart clearly.
Thankfully... her Junior Brother held onto her.
It seemed... this was the first time her Junior Brother initiated a touch with her?
It turns out her Junior Brother and she can also disregard gender differences.
"Senior Sister, was it that you didn’t like the poem I wrote for you yesterday?"
You Su tightly held her hand, as icy as cold jade, asking with self-reproach.
Fairy Wangshu turned her head, a soft smile forming on her face, "I quite liked it, thank you, Junior Brother."
The half-closed door slowly opened, revealing a corner of the ethereal fairy’s boudoir, regrettably covered with black papers everywhere, with no trace of a maiden’s fragrant room.
The ink blots on each paper showed her effort in perfecting her handwriting, with all the content being the poem she and You Su created together yesterday, without exception.
You Su couldn’t see the girl’s accomplishments in the room, but he could hear the evident change in his Senior Sister’s tone, reverting to the gentle and intimate feeling before they went to the Jade Ring Pool.
This brightened his mood as well; he didn’t want anyone close to him to be distant since his world was so small to begin with.
The icy, cool wrist of Fairy Wangshu seemed to warm up somewhat by You Su’s clasp.
Realizing he might have held on for too long, You Su intended to let go, knowing it was improper. But just as his index finger lifted, he felt a bone-chilling cold, with an invisible weight seemingly hanging over his shoulders, as if letting go would leave him unable to move.
Unawares, You Su pulled a sour face, thinking his Senior Sister was a bit too much...
The next instant, he suddenly felt a cool sensation on the back of his hand. He thought it was Fairy Wangshu counter-holding his hand and was about to use gender difference as a rebuttal, when he heard her excitedly exclaim:
"Wow! Is this the gift you’re giving me, Junior Brother?"
