Chapter 292: Chapter 175: New Edition of White Snake
You Su wasn’t yet certain about the power of the Hidden Earth, but he suspected it was closely related to illusions. He was also sure that it wasn’t a mere illusion, or else it wouldn’t have been able to affect a cultivator at the Lower Feather Transformation Realm.
Although being unguarded against him played a part, the fact that You Su could influence Wangshu, a Fairy, with his cultivation at the Middle Spirit Platform Realm was enough to showcase its mystical nature.
The changes in Wangshu’s body went beyond just her recent unusual behavior.
"Senior sister... Your hand is warm?"
You Su felt the temperature emanating from the back of his neck through the thin veil. Though very faint, You Su’s keen senses caught it.
Because Wangshu had embraced You Su like this several times before, You Su was accustomed to his senior sister’s icy cold body temperature. The sudden change was something You Su couldn’t overlook.
Wangshu was momentarily stunned as she herself noticed the change in her body, feeling both a bit baffled and a bit joyful.
He Shutong practiced the Ice Heart Skill, yet her body was warm. Or rather, as long as one is human, regardless of the cultivation technique, their blood should be warm. But her disciple was the exact opposite of her. Wangshu had basic emotions, but she felt like a cold-blooded creature, her whole body cold.
This was the first time she experienced an increase in body temperature, something she had always hoped for. She wanted to become like a normal person.
"Thank you, junior brother."
Wangshu suddenly expressed her gratitude, leaving You Su bewildered.
"Why is senior sister thanking me?"
"I had a wish to experience what it feels like to have warmth, and junior brother helped me achieve it, so of course, I should thank junior brother."
Wangshu returned to being the innocent and serene white-robed fairy. She stretched her jade hand over her heart, and the silk soaked in dragon bile revealed a faint glimmer of her white skin, sparking the imagination.
"Senior sister... Have you always been like this?"
You Su’s vision was no longer as hazy as before. When he looked at his senior sister’s graceful swan neck, he could still see a pure white shadow.
Wangshu responded with a soft hum, not showing any sadness.
"Is it cold?" You Su asked with concern.
The young woman shook her head. She wasn’t lying; she had been this way since birth and naturally didn’t feel cold, though the isolation of recognizing herself as an outlier was harder to bear.
"Why is that?"
You Su had always restrained himself from probing others’ secrets as a sign of respect for his senior sister. This time, his question wasn’t driven by insatiable curiosity but by a fervent desire to solve this issue for the young woman.
"It’s a secret." Wangshu’s eyes curved into a beautiful arc. "Your warmth transferred to me, junior brother. It’s warm and comfortable. I also want to become a warm person, like you and master."
You Su was momentarily dazed before lowering his gaze with melancholy. There seemed to be an extraordinary charm in this young woman that made people instinctively want to care for and protect her.
Of course, he wouldn’t believe in such a saying that body temperature could be transferred. Otherwise, when his senior sister used to carry him while flying, her hands would have been warm too.
You Su speculated that the reason for his senior sister’s physical change was probably due to the intimate contact they had just shared. After all, the Joyful Union Skill mentioned that heart fire was the root of body heat. But without further experimentation, it could only remain speculation. You Su dared not speak recklessly to his senior sister, for if she displayed her tougher side again, he would be like fish on the chopping board.
After resting, You Su regained some strength. He then lifted himself from Wangshu’s embrace, encouraging her with a firm expression:
"Senior sister is already a warm person."
Wangshu shook her head, placing her hand on the spot where You Su had been resting. The warmth he left behind was quickly dissipated by the wind, as was her pitiful body heat.
"Not enough yet..."
Seeing this, You Su felt sympathy for her. He initially wanted to educate his senior sister on the importance of gender boundaries, but facing this poor forty-nine-year-old girl, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh.
"Does senior sister really want to keep it?" You Su didn’t dare to open his eyes lightly; he could only sense Xiaohua’s presence in his Sea of Consciousness.
It seemed to have recognized Wangshu as its master, affectionately nuzzling against her exquisite ankle with her skirt’s edge.
Wangshu, hearing this, turned to You Su with surprise and joy. She originally thought her junior brother would be angry with her for her antics and would likely not let her keep Xiaohua. Yet, unexpectedly, You Su wasn’t as resolute as she anticipated.
"Yes, yes!"
Wangshu happily nodded, and with her exquisite jade rabbit mask on, she truly resembled a lively white rabbit.
You Su pursed his lips and looked at the same pure white mysterious creature as his senior sister, sternly saying:
"Stay by my senior sister’s side properly, and don’t have any bad intentions. My senior sister is the most formidable fairy of the younger generation in the Five Continents. Following her might really grant you the opportunity to transform into a dragon, but whether you can seize it depends on you."
Dragon, a mythical creature of legend, hadn’t been seen in a thousand years. If Xiaohua truly had the potential to become a dragon, it would be an immense advantage.
When Wangshu heard You Su’s evaluation, the joy in her eyes was so deep it almost overflowed. She felt that although she had heard many compliments from others before, none affected her as much, yet even You Su’s casual words made her heart ripple.
"Junior brother, it says you shouldn’t be so fierce. It’s a good dragon."
