Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 244: Feng Xue

A beautiful woman emerged from the water and turned to the shore.

Less than a breath later, she smiled and quickly swam towards the riverbank.

"You are back." She said.

At the same time, she jumped out of the river and waved her hand to dry herself before donning a white robe.

The woman was beautiful!

She had waist-length black hair, a palm-sized face, black almond eyes, and a frosty temperament that was only slightly relieved by her curled lips.

If Shen Xu was present, he would call her an ice beauty.

The kind with a beautiful face and a hot body but still capable of freezing a man to death.

However, Yang Shi was an exception. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Rather than be frozen to death, he felt extremely hot whenever he looked at the woman.

Even now, he swallowed and forcibly suppressed the heat in his body.

"I found something good." He said and the woman raised her eyebrow in question.

Seeing this, Yang Shi held her hand and led her forward.

"You are going to like it." He said.

A cup of tea later, the two entered a cave.

At a glance, the cave was more than three thousand square metres but it was empty.

"I feel a familiar breath." The woman said and Yang Shi excitedly nodded.

"It’s the cave of the green-feathered luan." The man said and quickly continued.

"The luan has already fallen but its blood was potent enough to birth a phoenix blood grass."

"Really?" The woman couldn’t help but be excited and her eyes widened in expectation.

"Why would I lie to you?" Yang Shi asked in a helpless voice.

The woman was Feng Xue; the little bird he rescued almost twenty years ago.

At the time, Feng Xue was injured and her cultivation was lost.

However, before her accident, she was a level nine monster and had long been able to transform into human form.

Because of this, she was able to regain her human form soon after she began cultivating again.

Now, after consuming countless resources, Feng Xue was an early-stage, level four monster.

"Where is it?" She asked.

"It’s behind that wall." Yang Shi said, pointing at a wall.

Soon after, the two reached the wall and Yang Shi tapped a few places, causing the wall to slide to the right.

"It’s really the phoenix blood grass." Feng Xue exclaimed as soon as the wall slid aside.

Inside the wall was a small space of about ten square metres.

At a glance, the space was empty except for a red spirit grass growing in the middle of the room.

The grass was thirty centimetres tall and barely twenty centimetres wide.

However, it had countless red bells hanging on its thin branches.

"This phoenix blood grass is more than ten thousand years old." Feng Xue said and Yang Shi nodded before speaking.

"It’s enough to help you advance from the early stage of level four to the early stage of level six."

"Thank you. I would have died if I hadn’t met you." The woman said, looking at Yang Shi with grateful eyes.

Hearing this, Yang Shi smiled and rubbed Feng Xue’s hair.

However, he soon stopped smiling and looked at Feng Xue with solemn eyes.

"Xue’er, my master and lord Zhen are about to come out of seclusion." He stated and Feng Xue couldn’t help but frown.

She and Yang Shi got along well.

They supported and took care of each other for the past twenty years.

However, Feng Xue was still reluctant about the contract.

After all, she had lived a long time and had learned not to trust people, especially human cultivators.

At this time, she naturally knew it was necessary to form a contract with Yang Shi’s master but her heart was heavy.

Seeing the woman’s indecision, Yang Shi sighed.

"Xue’er, my master won’t force you and may agree to sign a temporary contract in exchange of something valuable. However, I advise you not to miss this opportunity. Once you miss this chance, you may never get another for the rest of your life."

In fact, Yang Shi liked Feng Xue and wanted her to follow Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.

However, he also understood that twisted melons were not sweet so he couldn’t bring himself to force her.

"If I don’t follow your master, will you..." Feng Xue started but Yang Shi shook his head before she could finish her words.

"My master and lord Zhen helped me hatch. They have taken care of me and protected me since before I was born. I will never leave their side." Yang Shi said in a determined voice.

"I see." Feng Xue said, feeling a little lost.

"Neither of us has mentioned this but we are not ordinary monsters. Xue’er, the cultivation world is not our final destination."

Feng Xue was startled when she heard that.

She was indeed not an ordinary phoenix and also knew that Yang Shi was not an ordinary python.

However, neither had breached the subject for the past twenty years and she almost forgot their identity.

"Are you not afraid that your human master will betray you?" She asked but Yang Shi immediately shook his head.

"My master will not betray me." He said and quickly continued.

"He will not covet my body or use me to block fatal attacks. When you meet him, you will know my master is good and loyal."

"What about his Taoist partner?" Feng Xue asked, her eyes narrowed into slits.

What she distrusted most in her life was the term ’Taoist partner’.

After all, her Taoist partner had fallen in love with another and promptly abandoned her.

"My master and lord Zhen are soul-bound Taoist partners. However, even if they weren’t, lord Zhen would never betray my master."

Hearing this, Feng Xue stared at Yang Shi but eventually shook her head.

In the end, she changed the subject and asked something that had been bothering her for many years.

"Why do you call your master’s Taoist partner a lord?" She asked.
