My Aunt, Don't Be Afraid-I'm Blind (52k)

Little Pond City, on the south coast.

As dawn broke, the sea breeze carried a salty, briny scent.

"Are you sure... it was You Su of the Xuanxiao Sect who killed Ming Dao of the Qiming Sect?"

Whispers rippled through the crowd, immediately drawing considerable attention.

Each prestigious sect had its own people stationed on the shore to await their disciples' arrival on the island. However, these high-ranking cultivators were usually either flying high in the air or hiding in places unnoticed. The crowd around the teleportation array on the shore consisted mostly of ordinary cultivators or onlookers who came to join the fun.

"That's unlikely. Ming Dao is at the peak of the Water Condensation Perfection realm, and he's known as Little Sword Immortal Ming. Who on this island could prevent him from even tearing up the invitation?"

"What do you know? These are all exceptional talents, aren't they all proud and arrogant? They're all aiming for the inheritance, who would be the first to tear up the letter?"

"I've heard about it too. The night before last, news came back that a disciple from the Qiming Sect and a female Rogue Cultivator from the Southern Yang Continent brought back this information!"

"Isn't this You Su supposed to be only at the Water Condensing Lower Realm? How could he kill Ming Dao Water Condensation Perfection Realm? Is this kid defying the heavens?"

"And there's something even more outrageous. Do you know why this kid Ming Dao tried to kill Mingdao?"

"Why?" everyone asked curiously.

"To save a Demon Cultivator!"

"He's insane! Those are foreigners! Talented but lacking in virtue, a despicable man!"

"The reason may not be limited to this. Last night, Venerable Dao Mu of the Qiming Sect and Bihua Venerable of the Xuanxiao Sect fought fiercely over this, battling it out in the sky. In the end, Venerable Dao Mu was slightly outmatched, but many people still heard his curses."

What did he say?

The person spreading the message spoke mysteriously, keeping his voice very low. "He said that Venerable Suyin died in Zhongyuan Continent, and the only place he was recorded visiting was the Xuanxiao Sect. Given this, it seems that You Su's deadly attack on Mingdao... might have been orchestrated by the Xuanxiao Sect behind the scenes..."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that the unpredictable nature of Heaven Awakening Island was beyond their imagination. What appeared to be a peaceful and idyllic island was actually rife with various open and covert struggles.

Even a renowned prodigy like Ming Dao could die, which made them worry about their relatives and friends who had come to the island.

Of the 360 people invited to the island, not one was willing to give up this opportunity that so many people longed for. Among these 360 people, many were hoping for a stroke of luck, expecting that Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light into their laps.

In such a perilous environment of struggle, even if one were to strike it lucky, could they truly hold onto it?

In that case, it's better to quit while you're ahead, tear up the letter, and leave the island.

What's surprising is that... almost three days have passed, and yet, it seems that only those two cultivators from the night before last have emerged from this teleportation array?

Tai Sui's healing power remained strong. After waking up, You Su took several high-quality healing pills and then fell into a deep sleep again under the influence of the medicine.

Upon waking, he was clear-headed and had regained some mobility, only to find Ji Xueruo still fast asleep on his chest.

He quietly opened his Black Eyes and gazed at the girl's delicate sleeping face, serene and beautiful, for a long time. The girl's sleeping posture was exceptionally sweet, but her sleeping position showed no trace of her noble birth.

She placed one hand on You Su's chest and wrapped one long leg around You Su waist, like a beautiful snake coiled around a person. Because she kept turning over, her neckline was slightly pulled open, but it didn't reveal anything. Underneath her black skirt was a soft armor with a dark, shimmering sheen.

This soft armor, crafted from snake scales, is one of the treasured gems of the snake clan. It resembles scales that grew from Ji Xueruo's own body, and its graceful curves create a unique allure.

Especially after Ji Xueruo fell asleep, she was indeed a bit restless, liking to toss and turn and rub against him. This feeling was truly wonderful. Although she was clearly touching the hard armor, she could also feel the extreme softness of the jade dumpling beneath the armor. This brought a lot of happy troubles to You Su, who was sore all over.

In fact, Ji Xueruo lived alone for many years and was under a lot of pressure during the day, so when she went to sleep at night, she would always let loose a little, because that bed was one of the few places where she could relax on her own.

"It really looks like a snake..."

You Su gently tucked the girl's stray hairs behind her ear, whispering to herself, then chuckled to herself.

Miss Xue Ruo is a snake, so how can you say she's 'like a snake'?

Just then, Ji Xueruo's eyelashes trembled, as if she sensed something, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She first looked around blankly. The fire had burned to ashes, but the sunlight seeping through the cracks in the rocks made it possible to see things inside the cave. She suddenly realized that her sleeping position was wrong, her beautiful eyes widened, and she quickly sat up from You Su.

"What did you do to me?!" the girl immediately questioned the seemingly harmless You Su.

You Su lay motionless, saying helplessly, "I've been pinned down by Miss Xue Ruo and can't move. What can I do?"

Ji Xueruo glared at him suspiciously, then realized that she seemed to have inexplicably fallen asleep first, and her snowy cheeks flushed slightly.

After a period of rest and rest, her physical condition improved somewhat. She quickly regained consciousness, sat up straighter, and subtly distanced herself from You Su.

How is your injury?

"He didn't hurt me, so where am I injured?" You Su retorted with a smile. "It's Miss Xue Ruo who should be worried about her own injuries."

"He didn't hurt you, but did he hurt me?"

Ji Xueruo was not about to admit defeat, but she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help coughing.

"Did you suffer internal injuries?" You Su asked hurriedly with concern.

"It's alright." Ji Xueruo waved her hand casually, but still carefully examined her internal body.

"This island is fraught with danger, we must not act rashly. Miss Xue Ruo should be treated for her injuries." You Su also groped his way up and leaned against the stone wall.

"Who acted impulsively?"

Ji Xueruo glared at You Su, then placed her hand on her chest.

She took another deep breath and realized that she was indeed a little short of breath.

She usually wears loose dresses, which don't accentuate her figure, but in fact, like Ji Lingruo, she is quite well-endowed among her peers. This scale armor wasn't custom-made for her; it was a treasure passed down through generations. Normally, she felt a little restricted wearing it, but she was used to it. However, since she wasn't feeling well at the moment, continuing to wear the slightly small scale armor made her feel suffocated.

"It's good that you didn't act impulsively. I have some top-quality Great Evolution Pill here, which have miraculous effects on meridian recovery. Take them quickly."

You Su enthusiastically took out a small blue-and-white porcelain jar from his Universe Bag and generously handed it all over.

Ji Xueruo pursed her lips but didn't take it. "I have my own medicine."

She immediately took water and medicine, and practiced breathing exercises for more than ten breaths.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that You Su had been quietly watching her, but her clear eyes looked slightly dull.

He's still blind...

As if remembering something, she took out the glasses from her bosom and asked, "What kind of Law Artifact is this?"

"It's not some kind of Law Artifact, just something used to shield your eyes from the light." You Su reached out to take it.

Ji Xueruo frowned, sensing something was wrong. She quickly pulled her hand back, nimbly dodging You Su's grasp.

"If you're afraid of light, why haven't I seen you wearing it before?"

You Su's mind worked quickly. "Before, my eyes were completely opaque. After breaking through the Water Condensation Realm, my eyes changed and can now faintly let in light. Sometimes, I find bright light too dazzling, so I started wearing these glasses."

"Glasses?"

Ji Xueruo didn't doubt what You Su said. She spread the temples of her glasses apart and placed them on her high nose bridge. Sure enough, the colors of things in her field of vision became dim.

She took it off again and examined it with great interest, but her expression turned serious.

You Su sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"A woman gave it to you?" Ji Xueruo's voice carried a hint of danger.

You Su was taken aback, completely baffled as to how the other party had figured it out, so she said, "I bought it from a female cultivator."

To be honest, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he earned the glasses by exchanging them for the reward of his Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light.

"Bought it?" Ji Xueruo sneered, flipping the temple of her glasses over. A small, elegant character 'Su' was clearly written on the inside of the left temple. "Which lover sold it to you? A magical Law Artifact even has the character 'Su' engraved on it—it can't be such a coincidence that her name also contains the character 'Su,' can it?"

You Su raised an eyebrow. He had been wearing these sunglasses all along and couldn't see the words engraved on the temples at all. Even when he took them off, he had never examined them closely.

He initially thought the sunglasses were just a Little Dog Qianhua, but he never expected they were specially prepared for him.

"I can't see it anyway, maybe it's just a coincidence." You Su's explanation was reasonable.

"The falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is heartless?" Ji Xueruo casually tossed her glasses to You Su. "Young Master You is indeed charming, with many admirers."

You Su replied awkwardly, "Miss Xue Ruo knows that I've always disliked standing out and kept a low profile. This is truly a coincidence."

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, you know it in your heart. Don't break someone else's sister's heart." Ji Xueruo curled her thin pink lips, her tone not very kind. "Lingruo isn't enough, and you can even ruin your own beautiful and peerless senior sister. Young Master You, are you already planning to find a third one so quickly?"

You Su was naturally at a disadvantage on this topic, but fortunately he understood the principle of using softness to overcome hardness:

"It's not that we're preparing, we've already found a third one, and Senior Sister is the third. Does Miss Xue Ruo know who the second one is?"

As he spoke, he stared intently at the girl in front of him, his gaze unwavering.

As it turned out, his tactic worked; the girl completely forgot they were discussing the origin of the glasses.

Ji Xueruo a little embarrassed by the gaze, and naturally, she wouldn't be foolish enough to actually ask the boy who the second one was.

The thousand cycles of dreams surged up from the depths of her memory again. The girl slightly turned her head, annoyed that she could be stared at by a blind man and had to avoid his gaze.

"Don't you remember our bet?" Ji Xueruo asked angrily.

How could You Su forget that the two parted reluctantly outside the Jade Ring Pool? The girl confessed her feelings for him, but also told him that everything would have to wait until things settled down.

He kept it in mind and only wished he could help the girl as soon as possible, before she could forget this feeling.

"Of course I remember."

"Do you remember why you said those nonsense to provoke me?" Ji Xueruo said irritably. "Are you trying to break this bet?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't mentioned those two words once since we met. I can't control what Miss Xue Ruo thinks of." You Su said innocently.

The answer to these two words is, of course, 'like'.

Ji Xueruo took a deep breath in anger, but the restraints of her scale armor made it difficult for her to breathe, which made her even angrier.

"Then why do you send me letters every day when you have nothing better to do? You always include a poem in your letters, even if it's just for fun. I'm busy every day, you know!"

"But those two words aren't in the letter or the poem either. I only wrote the letter because I wanted to communicate with Miss Xue Ruo, is that not allowed?" You Su spread her hands.

Ji Xueruo gritted her teeth, feeling that this blind man was really annoying. He was the one who provoked her every time, but now he was acting all high and mighty, making it seem like she was the one who was just imagining things.

She was furious and commanded, "Don't call me Miss Xue Ruo!"

"What should she be called?" You Su asked quickly, "Should she just be called Xue Ruo?"

"Call me sister-in-law!" The girl's cheeks swelled with anger.

You Su's expression changed. "I won't call."

"What? You and Lingruo Ruo have already slept together, are you planning to turn your back on her?" Ji Xueruo crossed her arms, thinking to herself that the time to retaliate had finally come.

"Of course not."

"Ha, then you're my brother-in-law. Isn't it only natural for you to call me 'Auntie'? I haven't complained that you're making me sound old, but you're refusing?"

There's a reason why You Su doesn't call her that. The title 'Miss Xue Ruo' is what they used to call each other when they went through hardships together, and You Su has feelings for that title. Moreover, calling her 'Auntie' would be tantamount to constantly reminding Miss Xue Ruo that he is her brother-in-law, which would undoubtedly make Miss Xue Ruo more clear-headed about this forbidden relationship.

"My junior sister and I are not married yet, so it's too early to call her that."

"What a joke! I think someone is just too guilty to call me that. If you don't call me that, I'm leaving right now."

Ji Xueruo's lips curled up, smugly pleased with her victory.

You Su, however, had an idea. He started winking and making faces, pretending to be somewhat embarrassed:

"Miss Xue Ruo really wants to hear me call you that? Then I won't stand on ceremony..."

You're welcome?

Ji Xueruo caught a glimpse of the boy's secretly pleased lips and suddenly felt a strange unease.

She clearly wanted to humiliate him, but he seemed quite pleased... Could it be that calling him "Auntie" would excite him even more...?

Ji Xueruo had heard of some men's disgusting fetishes, and she felt a chill run down her spine. She had been passively exposed to the blind man's true nature for more than half a year:

"Shut up! I haven't even agreed to marry Lingruo yet, so don't shout!"

You Su looked disappointed, feigning regret, and said, "Calling her 'sister-in-law' sounds so affectionate... By the way, Miss Xue Ruo, where's my junior sister? Has she come to the island?"

Ji Xueruo shrank back, trying to get more room to breathe, and pursed her lips as she said:

"She wasn't invited, but I think it might be because she's still in seclusion, focusing on a breakthrough."

"Junior Sister still hasn't succeeded?" You Su was somewhat surprised. "That's been going on for way too long..."

The higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of breaking through, and the longer it takes. Breaking through to the Void Realm can even take decades, but for the Condensing Water Realm, it only takes a dozen days at most. However, Ji Lingruo she first showed signs of it, which is truly peculiar.

"It has been a while... but the clan elders said she is likely undergoing some kind of transformation. After all, her condition has been steadily improving, so there is no need to worry."

Despite her words, Ji Xueruo was still worried.

If she hadn't successfully broken through to the Condensing Water Realm thanks to this mysterious and top-grade Demon Core, she would have suspected that there was something strange about the Demon Core that You Su had reshaped in her sister's womb.

Upon hearing this, You Su could only nod; it seemed there was no better way than to wait.

The two fell silent for a moment.

"Hey, turn around," Ji Xueruo suddenly said.

You Su was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Your clothes are all torn to shreds, go change them yourself. You've been in this cave for over a day, and you have no idea what's happening outside. Rest a little longer, then go out and take a look."

"There's no need to rush... It's not too late to come out of the cave after you've rested properly," You Su hesitated. He was confident in his own health, but he was worried about Ji Xueruo.

"Seizing this fortuitous opportunity is of utmost urgency. If you don't want it, stay in the cave and rest. I'll go out and find it myself," Ji Xueruo said impatiently.

Of course, You Su couldn't bear to let his wife, whom he had just met, run away alone. Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed heartily.

"What are you laughing at for no reason?" Ji Xueruo felt that the boy's bright smile couldn't possibly be anything good.

"I laughed because several people had tried to form alliances with me, and I had refused them all. But when I met Miss Xue Ruo, she didn't say a word, yet she automatically formed an alliance with me. This feeling of things falling into place so naturally was truly wonderful, hence the laughter."

You Su's silly, goofy demeanor made Ji Xueruo unable to bring herself to criticize him. She touched her slightly flushed cheeks, secretly annoyed by the inexplicable and natural understanding between the two of them.

"This island is a melting pot of all sorts of people. Since we're all one family, forming an alliance is certainly more reassuring..."

The young girl rarely spoke a soft word, but when she saw You Su's uninhibited move to take off his pants, her face instantly turned pale:

"What you do?!"

"Aren't we family?" You Su was quick to take advantage of people's kindness.

"I'm your aunt, you're my brother-in-law!" Ji Xueruo angrily. "Go change over there! Don't get in my way!"

You Su scratched his head, and had no choice but to obey.

Seeing that the boy had actually hidden in the corner and turned his back, Ji Xueruo finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she could, she would certainly like to avoid the situation of a lone man and woman being alone in a room, but with danger lurking everywhere, finding a safe place to hide was already quite difficult.

She sent You Su away, not entirely to remind her to change her clothes, but because the scale armor was really in the way, and she had to take it off first in order to recover as quickly as possible.

To conceal that she was also changing, Ji Xueruo deliberately waited until You Su started changing before untying the ties on her upper skirt.

A rustling sound arose, and the scales on her body were removed like a tide, leaving only a magnificent black dress with a wide-open neckline, from which an ambiguous fragrance wafted.

Ji Xueruo suddenly hissed softly, only then realizing that she had multiple external injuries on her upper body. Among the large patches of fair skin, there were several abrupt bruises, which were probably injuries sustained during her fight with Ming Dao's four lackeys. Her nerves had been on edge the whole time, and she had forgotten about these hidden pains. Now that the restraints were off, these painful spots became more apparent.

She took out another pill and swallowed it, then took out a bottle of external medicine, and glanced warily at You Su in the distance.

Seeing that You Su was still obediently dressing in front of the wall, she felt relieved and pulled her collar open even wider. With one arm around Yu Tuan'er, she used the other to wipe the cool medicine onto her soft skin.

Although she was the head of a clan of high status, she was not a princess who had been pampered since childhood. She was adept at treating wounds, but looking at the bruises of various sizes, she still felt a little sorry for herself.

After finishing, she pulled her collar together and immediately felt much more relaxed.

Only then did she remember that You Su was still there. She quickly turned around and looked back, only to find the boy's face almost touching hers.
