one year later.
In the early morning, the dew has not yet dried.
Feng Qingxian carried two bags filled with small green fruits and walked out of the forest with a leisurely expression.
Before entering the palace, Gu Junlin rushed out excitedly and took the bag in her hand. When he saw that it was a small green fruit, he suddenly made a sad face:
"Master, why is it like this again? It's been a year and I'm almost sick..."
Feng Qingxian snorted coldly, with an arrogant look on her face: "Whether you like to eat or not, I owe you something?"
After a year of getting to know each other, Gu Junlin was no longer as timid as when he first arrived, and complained to his elders very naturally:
"Master, you are a fairy and don't eat the fireworks of the world, but Junlin is a mortal. Even a person can't stand eating the same thing every day, right?"
The emotional confession made Feng Qingxian feel a little embarrassed, and she said with a straight face: "I'll give you a different taste next time."
"Master, you say that every time!" Gu Junlin said dissatisfied: "Take me with you next time, I will supervise you!"
"No!" Feng Qingxian's expression changed and her reaction was huge.
Even if she is now proficient in climbing trees, due to the conditions of the tree itself, the process of climbing up is destined to be inelegant. If anyone sees it, she will die immediately!
Seeing this, Gu Junlin was not surprised at all. This was not the first time he asked for help from his master. Every time he had the same reaction, as if he was shady.
Suddenly, Gu Junlin rolled his eyes and said mysteriously: "Master, I found a good place today."
"Stop talking nonsense." Feng Qingxian glanced at him sideways.
Gu Junlin was not embarrassed and cleared his throat: "There is a creek in the back mountain..."
"Are you out?" Before Gu Junlin finished speaking, Feng Qingxian shouted coldly.
Gu Junlin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Master was really angry, so he quickly explained: "I keep asking Master to find food, and I feel bad about it. I just thought..."
"I said you were not allowed to go out, do you think my words fell on deaf ears?" Feng Qingxian interrupted coldly. Without giving Gu Junlin a chance to speak again, she grabbed his ear and dragged him into the hall.
At the same time, he said angrily: "You brat, you were more obedient when you first came here, but now you are disobeying my orders in just one year?"
"I won't let you have a long memory today. From now on, I will bear your surname!"
"It hurts, it hurts..." Gu Junlin covered his ears and followed Feng Qingxian into the hall in a hurry: "Master, please be gentle."
Looking at the red and swollen ears, Feng Qingxian felt distressed and felt that she had struck too hard. The temperature of her cold voice dropped slightly:
"It's for your own good that I won't let you run around outside."
The ancient trees in the forest are so towering that it is extremely easy to get lost without being able to sense your direction and experience.
Feng Qingxian has been lost twice. This is a bloody lesson!
That's why she told Gu Junlin not to go out on the first day. But at that time, she was afraid that he would cause trouble if he got lost. Now she was more worried and afraid.
After Feng Qingxian told Gu Junlin her own experience, she added, "I'm tired of eating green fruits. You want to find something new to eat. I understand."
"But I can tell you clearly that within a hundred miles, this is the only thing you can eat."
"Next time, I will go to a farther place to help you look for it." Feng Qingxian told the real reason why she didn't bring other food back.
"Master, Jun Lin made a mistake. I made you worried. You must be obedient in the future!" Gu Jun was moved beyond measure.
Unexpectedly, he said with an impatient expression, "Would you like to eat, I owe you something?" The master secretly found other food for him, and had already explored hundreds of miles.
"Does it hurt?" Concern caused confusion. After calming down, Feng Qingxian felt guilty.
Gu Junlin wiped away his tears, shook his head and said: "It doesn't hurt. Master is a fairy. His hands are soft and smell good. It doesn't hurt at all to hold his ears. If Jun Lin disobeys me again in the future, just like this time, hold it as hard as you can!" "
"It doesn't hurt at all, and my hands are still soft and smell good. Isn't this a reward for you?" Feng Qingxian suppressed laughter.
After thinking for a while, Gu Junlin whispered: "Actually, it still hurts a bit..."
"Pfft." Feng Qingxian couldn't help it anymore. This little guy always made people laugh so much that they couldn't help it.
She has smiled more this year than she has in nearly a thousand years, no, more than in her entire life!
"Just a little pain?" Feng Qing's fairy jade finger poked his ear: "Lying is not a good habit."
"Hiss." Gu Junlin took a breath and grimaced in pain.
Feng Qingxian smiled half-heartedly: "It doesn't hurt, doesn't it?"
Gu Junlin defended: "Isn't this just because I'm afraid that Master won't be able to bear to fight me next time?"
"Huh? There's still a next time? You see how reluctant I am to part with you!" Feng Qingxian frowned, clenched her fist and shook it in front of Gu Junlin's eyes.
"There won't be a next time, Junlin promises!" Gu Junlin covered his injured ears with lingering fear.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Feng Qingxian bent down and took out the small green fruit from the bag on the side: "Wash it and bring it back, eat it quickly."
Gu Junlin took it with one hand and threw it directly into his mouth, showing an expression of enjoyment, as if he was eating some delicious food:
"It's so delicious, Master. From now on, this is what you will eat in Junlin. You don't have to look for anything else to eat."
"Aren't you tired of eating?" Feng Qingxian wondered.
"No matter what the food has been touched by Master, in Jun Lin's eyes, it is all delicacies in the world!"
Gu Junlin knew that it was difficult for the master to find food, and he did not want to burden her anymore for his own lust.
"You bastard, you can always say flattering things." Feng Qingxian scolded with a smile.
Seeing that his master's mood improved, Gu Junlin said cautiously:
"Master, there is a hidden stream in the back mountain. I made a fishing trap in it. Maybe I can catch fish tomorrow."
Feng Qingxian touched his head and said softly: "Before you and Bai Wei arrived, I had not seen any living creatures for thousands of years, so there cannot be fish in the creek."
After hearing this, Gu Junlin said disappointedly: "That's it... I thought that as long as I found other food, Master would have an appetite and want to eat..."
Feng Qingxian was startled, and then her heart warmed up. She originally thought that Gu Junlin wanted to change his taste, or was just having fun, but she didn't expect that he went out for her own sake.
"There have been no living creatures for thousands of years?" Gu Junlin suddenly realized. Doesn't this mean that the master has never been out for thousands of years, and the only thing he faced was the sound of wind blowing leaves? Not a single living creature to be seen?
Gu Junlin couldn't imagine how much loneliness was hidden under this beautiful and calm face. He couldn't stand being alone in a small temple for a few months, let alone a thousand years?
Thinking of this, Gu Junlin said seriously: "Junlin will always be with Master and never wants to go to the outside world again!"
