But she wasn’t excessively shy, anyway You Su is blind, so what is there to be afraid of him seeing?

She no longer restrained herself and examined the creamy white garment until she could discern its style, then she blushed and spat: 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Really shameless!"

You Su was speechless from her words, Ji Lingruo’s cold voice then chimed in again:

"Hey, you can’t see, right?"

You Su replied as a matter of course:

"Of course, how can a blind man see? If you don’t believe me, I can turn around."

Ji Lingruo looked unconvinced, displaying an expression of impending success with a mischievous smile:

"Who’s afraid of you? Even if you weren’t blind, so what? Don’t turn around! Just face me; I want you to try to see but fail! Hehe, oh poor blind man."

"This is the world’s first beauty changing clothes, but poor someone can’t see it. What use is myriad charms if you can only console yourself with the shadows... Alack, how pitiful I am!"

You Su watched the girl performing solo, in mind, he mumbled "six."

For a man, it’s most embarrassing to be called impotent; my junior sister’s actions are just like jumping on my face, mocking me and calling me "blind, blind" like a little female devil!

You Su took a deep breath, said sternly:

"Junior sister, I advise you not to provoke me further, for I once, in extreme anger..."

Ji Lingruo was intimidated by You Su’s imposing aura, she concealed her body timidly, waiting for You Su to say something shocking.

"Extreme anger."

"..."

"Puhahaha!"

Ji Lingruo was amused, laughing till flowers trembled, until she almost wept with joy, catching her breath to calm down.

You Su’s face was filled with dark lines, no longer able to laugh, only sighing at his own helplessness, his injuries still unhealed. Though he intended to joke with his junior sister to make her happy, he silently vowed to remember this grudge and once his junior sister had fully recovered, he You Su would let her taste what it was like when the little devil was suppressed.

After the joke, the slight tension vanished, as if the two weren’t here seeking refuge, but on a honeymoon.

Seeing You Su still planning to turn his head, Ji Lingruo commanded:

"Don’t turn your head! What, afraid you’ll become extremely angry?"

With that, her smile turned even brighter.

You Su couldn’t bear it any longer, stubbornly, he laboriously propped himself up, moving closer to where Ji Lingruo sat.

He opened his clear eyes wide, staring straight at Ji Lingruo’s beautiful figure, even though his eyes were muddled, he wanted to use these seemingly bright but actually listless eyes to make Ji Lingruo uncomfortable.

Ji Lingruo saw You Su taking the challenge, smiled disdainfully.

Men are always so persistent in proving they’re capable, but what’s the use? Isn’t it just a bluff?

She arranged the clean clothes, then placed her hand on the strap of her small inner garment, finally glancing hesitantly at You Su’s eyes.

Only to see You Su’s eyes clearly vacant, yet with a serious, stubborn look, Ji Lingruo smirked, muttered:

"Silvery show, lead lance head..."

You Su raised his right eyebrow, he truly couldn’t do anything, but his aura could not lose, he simply opened his eyes the widest.

Ji Lingruo sneered, then boldly pulled down the strap, instantly even the warm orange candlelight was rendered pale.

The sound of garment rustling echoed, the hidden fragrance of the valley drifted throughout the cavern.

Beneath the snowy plum blossoms stood a slender willowy waist, creating a flowing graceful curve with the hips and back.

Complimented by Ji Lingruo’s innocent snake-like face, she looked like an inadvertent mischievous siren causing chaos.

The girl saw You Su unresponsive, pinched the waistband of her undergarment, slowly bending over, her smooth jade back seemed to contain autumn dew, her skin like mutton fat.

This bend of gentle elegance, like a branch of a dangling plum not bearing to be gazed at.

Suddenly the girl seemed to sense something, regardless of the half-undone undergarment, she looked up amusedly at You Su, teased:

"Why are you clenching your fists so tight? Could it be... extremely angry?"

"?"

You Su then realized his hands were tightly clenched, hurriedly relaxed them, squeezed his legs tighter, awkwardly said:

"Suddenly felt a bit of strength, wanted to try clenching a fist, looks like I’m recovering pretty well."

"Oh?"

Ji Lingruo’s face was framed by peach blossoms, innately charming, she spoke coquettishly:

"Then why do you shut your eyes?"

"Senior, my eyes are empty, whether they’re shut or open is the same." You Su wondered aloud.

"Since your eyes are empty, why don’t you dare to look at me?"

Ji Lingruo’s eyes were as seductive as silk, sparkling like autumn water. Her half-exposed pants were half-concealed, and she commanded:

"Open your eyes."

Yet You Su kept his eyes tightly shut, unmoved, like a holy monk.

"Could it be that senior brother is afraid? Why only close your eyes, if you don’t cover your ears and nose, as a blind person?"

"What my junior sister says is right." You Su complied one by one, feeling indeed much more at ease.

Suddenly, You Su felt a warm presence before him, and his nostrils were filled with fragrance.

It turned out that the girl had leaned forward, so close that their cheeks almost touched, able to feel the warmth through the air.

"Go ahead and open your eyes, could it be... you’re not actually blind?"

You Su’s whole body stiffened. He forced a smile and said:

"How could that be..."

After saying this, he slowly opened his eyes, only to feel an unusual swelling as if his eyes were filled with blood.

White white, pink white, white white white...

"Ah!"

Ji Lingruo was immediately startled and stepped back, crossing one arm over her chest and placing a hand between her legs, trembling as she said, "Your, your eyes were normal just now, how did they turn completely black again?"

Completely black?

After killing Mr. Ling, I wanted to look at my appearance by the river, but the lack of light made me give up. It turns out every time my sight returns, my eyes turn completely black...

You Su felt like crying without tears. Previously, every time he opened his eyes was during the urgency of battle; who would have known they would open on their own just now. He didn’t have the mind to figure out the reason and could only silently lament.

"Junior sister, don’t be scared. I think it’s because of that evil force acting up again, I closed my eyes forcefully just to suppress it."

The monstrous junior sister knew he had eaten Taisui meat which allowed his sight to recover, but the real junior sister didn’t know. He absolutely couldn’t let the consciousness of the two junior sisters overlap again.

But using this reason to deceive the junior sister made You Su feel like a bit of a hypocrite because he could never honestly admit there wasn’t a hint of selfishness in his actions.

"Really?"

"I never lie to my junior sister."

"If the evil force is acting up, why not tell me?"

"When junior sister acts up, don’t you also not tell me? I don’t want junior sister to worry, but it’s okay, it doesn’t feel bad now." You Su smiled.

Ji Lingruo bit her lip in silent thought for a moment, then asked:

"What evil force is this on you?"

"I don’t know either." You Su shook his head. He absolutely couldn’t reveal that it was the Taisui meat from the junior sister’s body.

"Are you still blind then..."

"Of course, have you ever heard of blind black eyes that can still see?"

"That is... it seems no light goes through."

"If before, my eyes could still let in a bit of light, now no light gets through at all. Because of this, my perception is much stronger than before. Though I can’t see, it’s almost better than seeing, it’s how I defeated that heretic and managed to help junior sister escape."

"Oh..." Ji Lingruo nodded seemingly understanding, the teasing playfulness and ambiguous atmosphere from earlier dissipating mostly, yet she stubbornly said:

"Then keep your eyes open while I finish changing. If you give up, I’ll call you blind from now on."

You Su felt his junior sister was being too much, so he maintained a forward gaze, unwilling to admit defeat easily.

As the girl put down her obstructing hands, the scene was once again exposed without reservation.

Even though severely injured, You Su was a vigorous young man. He felt extremely, extremely angry and could only adjust his sitting posture continuously to hide his embarrassment.

He silently recited calming mantras in his heart, making himself cross-eyed, causing the glaring scene in his sight to blur into overlapping shadows.

Fortunately, the girl no longer deliberately slowed her movements to tease You Su, completing her change into that shameful piece of clothing swiftly.

You Su swore to the heavens that aligning his gaze momentarily was only for respite, as one cannot stare continuously, and it was absolutely not because he wanted to look.

Once Ji Lingruo had fully donned her new skirt, You Su breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Ji Lingruo quickly pounced to You Su’s side and asked with concern:

"Is it acting up again? Bear with it, just bear with it and it will pass."

You Su’s lips were pale from exertion earlier, and he calmly said:

"Don’t worry, junior sister. I’m fine."

Who could have known, just as he finished speaking, the girl suddenly collapsed on the ground, her body twisting in pain...
