Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 274 - 144: Divine Techniques of Dharmic Manifestation, Fulong Wenda
Fuxian Bureau’s team members were all hands on deck, and order was completely restored in Buxu City.
The latter half of the night was filled with the high spirits and joy brought by the Dragon-Soothing Sound and the sound of the celestial bell, completely overshadowing the gloom and pain of the earlier half of the night.
Now, everyone across Great Li knows that the path of the Imperial Dynasty has begun.
In this way, the demon cultivators’ troubles in the first half of the night seemed like the final hurdle before good things happen.
No matter what the people inside the Li Palace think, this is how common folks outside the palace perceive it.
In a narrow, quiet alley, Xianchan squatted at the corner, curiously staring at the ground.
As she continued to stare, she suddenly reached out her hand swiftly and mysteriously. She actually reached into the ground as if it were not made of stone, but a lump of paste.
After grabbing around inside the ground, she yanked something out like pulling out grass. Immediately, a small snake, about the length of a palm and thinner than a pinkie, was pulled out and pinched between her fingers.
This might not be just a small snake, for there were authentic dragon horns growing on its head.
At that moment, the cold green eyes of the small snake were filled with confusion, soon turning into shock.
It looked at Xianchan in fright, "Who are you!"
Xianchan opened her mouth, then remembered she couldn’t speak. She just laughed, her Liu Ye’Er eyebrows and crescent-like eyes making her look like a harmlessly absurd girl.
Suddenly, a blood mark flashed across her face.
The small snake caught sight of this blood mark. Instantly, boundless fear spread from its eyes, quickly turning into despair.
Xianchan opened her mouth and swallowed the small snake, then spat twice.
The first time, she spat out a person.
The second time, she spat out a pair of dragon horns.
The person and the dragon horns both were of normal size.
The person was Lv Liang, and the dragon horns were from the head of the dragon snake.
Xianchan squatted in front of Lv Liang, picked up a twig from beside her, poked his face, and upon hearing a groan, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she stood up, patted her forehead, which had no sweat, put her hands on her hips, and had an expression of "this girl is all knackered."
Finally, she remembered something, opened her mouth slightly, picked up the dragon horns from the ground, and ran outward sprightly.
As soon as she ran out, she bumped into Fu Manman.
Fu Manman saw it was Xianchan, and immediately beamed with surprise, "Chan’Er! Where did you run off to! I’ve been looking for you for a long time!" She embraced Xianchan tightly.
Xianchan scratched her head and smiled.
Fu Manman looked at the dragon horns in her hand and asked, "What’s this?"
Xianchan thought for a while and used a simplified Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to draw a comic strip.
Fu Manman asked, "Are you going to give this to Wubing?"
Xianchan nodded vigorously.
"Alright. But next time you go out to play, you have to let me know, okay!" Fu Manman lightly scolded.
Xianchan nodded again energetically.
"Wow, what an adorable little girl!" Ye Wuyue’s voice was quite pleasant, like a songbird.
Only then did Xianchan realize there was a third person present. She carefully observed Ye Wuyue, then widened her eyes, mouthed the words, and quickly used her Qi to sketch a comic strip with a question mark.
Ye Wuyue curiously asked, "Is this your way of communicating?"
She then began to examine it closely.
In the comic strip, there were two little female figures, one of whom, based on her features, represented her. The other had no distinct characteristics.
The two little female figures were holding hands, hugging, and kissing.
After seeing the final question mark, Ye Wuyue was first taken aback, then hurriedly said, "I’m not like that!"
Xianchan just laughed.
"What are you laughing at! I’m not that kind of person!" Ye Wuyue grew more anxious, blurting out, "How could I possibly like women!"
Hearing this, Fu Manman was momentarily shocked, staring blankly at Ye Wuyue.
Ye Wuyue covered her face, took a deep breath, and weakly asked, "You don’t think I’m weird, right?"
Fu Manman thought about it and replied, "Why would I think you’re weird?"
"Because I’m a woman, yet I like women."
Fu Manman had previously discussed this issue with Fan Wubing. At that time, she once thought Fan Wubing liked men. So, she didn’t hold any prejudice but was a bit surprised at encountering it for the first time, especially with someone as distinguished as a princess.
She said, "It’s not that bad. People even like animals, let alone women liking women."
"Oh, really." Ye Wuyue relaxed a bit.
"The world is vast, and there are all kinds of people. I think there’s no need to feel burdened by it," Fu Manman said earnestly to someone she wasn’t too familiar with, "Liking someone is an emotion that stems from the individual. As long as you don’t find it strange yourself, that’s enough, but do take others’ feelings into account."
"Like what?"
"For example... suppose you fall for someone who doesn’t like women. Then you should consider whether your expressions of affection might make the other person uncomfortable or scared. Don’t impose your preferences onto others, but also don’t force changes in yourself just to consider others’ feelings. Yes, that’s it!" Fu Manman said seriously.
Ye Wuyue stared at her, blushed, and said, "You’re amazing."
Fu Manman waved her hand and laughed nervously, "Just to be clear, I like men."
"I have someone I like. It’s just that she probably likes men, too." Ye Wuyue said with a sobbing face, "You know her."
"Who?"
"Luo Qingyao."
Fu Manman was taken aback.
Ye Wuyue took a deep breath, "After hearing you out, I feel much better. So I’ve decided!"
