Chapter 221 Xuannv 85
Jiaojiao felt a sudden burst of brilliant light before her eyes, as if starlight had suddenly appeared. In a twinkling, she was swept up by the boundless and overbearing magic power of Emperor Donghua, and was sent straight to the library like a drifting leaf.
Everywhere she looked, it was as quiet and deep as an ancient pool, without any waves. The rows of old and tall bookshelves around her were like silent giants, standing quietly in the long river of time, exuding a unique smell of oldness and decay, lingering around her nose. Jiaojiao was anxious, and she moved her lotus steps lightly, searching for the exit in the air with her slender hands. However, an invisible and intangible but extremely tough force bound her tightly like a fine spider web. No matter how she struggled, it was impossible for her to break through the shackles and escape in such a short time.
Her thoughts drifted away, recalling the various situations she had with Emperor Donghua before. Jiaojiao was filled with surprise like a surging tide, and doubts like a thick fog. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and secretly scolded: How could Emperor Donghua be so unethical, repeatedly like that shadow in the dark, wantonly prying into her inner thoughts, making her feel so ashamed and angry. Thinking about this, she slightly opened her red lips and asked in a mosquito-like voice: "Xiaoyu, do you think Donghua knew it a long time ago?"
Xiaoyu was swimming slowly in the bright sea of consciousness, just like a nimble fish, with auras flickering around her, as if she was pondering a complex and profound puzzle in the vast realm of spiritual wisdom. After a moment of silence, her ethereal voice came slowly, as if it had passed through layers of fog: "Sister, I am just an insignificant system in this world, with limited abilities, how can I have the magical powers to know the thoughts of Emperor Donghua. But looking at the current situation, the Emperor can even talk about the extremely secret heart-breaking calamity, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Perhaps he really used some mysterious magic to see through our secrets. But I dare not make any rash assertions about the details."
Jiaojiao slightly raised her furry paws and waved them gently, as if to shake off the invisible troubles in front of her, with a look of indifference. Her tone was gentle but also free and easy: "Forget it, just assume that he knows it, so what? If Emperor Donghua really knows our mission, with his ability and wisdom, he may be able to do things more smoothly in the future. For us, this is also an unexpected help, so there is no need to worry too much." After saying that, she slightly raised her head and looked into the distance, with a trace of open-mindedness and calmness in her eyes, as if as long as her mind is firm, the waves of the outside world will not be able to disturb her heart.
Xiao Yu seemed to have heard some exciting news in her sea of consciousness. She turned around briskly, and the soft spiritual light around her flickered and jumped happily. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell echoing in the quiet space. Her words were full of optimism and joy: "That's right, sister. In this way, all these troublesome things that are like a tangled mess will be solved naturally, just like encountering a sharp knife that can cut iron like mud. By then, our road ahead will be much wider and brighter."
Jiaojiao was not relieved by Xiaoyu's optimism. She frowned slightly, as if there was an unsolvable cloud of doubt between her two eyebrows, and her eyes were full of deep doubts. She moved lightly with lotus steps, slowly pacing on the spot, and every step seemed to carry a heavy question in her heart. She whispered softly, her voice was weak but clearly audible in this silent space: "But why has Donghua always trapped me in this Taichen Palace? There must be a reason. Since he planned to let me worship Mo Yuan as my master, why didn't he send me to Kunlun Ruins? This contradictory move is really puzzling to me." After speaking, she stopped, stretched out her right hand, supported her chin with her hand, and tapped her cheek unconsciously with her fingers. The whole person fell into deep thought, trying to make sense of this complicated situation.
Xiaoyu's light flickered a few times, like a spark of thought jumping, as if it was trying to think about some important puzzle. After a moment, its ethereal voice sounded slowly with a hint of temptation: "Sister, do you think that Brother Shaoyang's soul is awakening? After all, everything in this world is causally related. Your appearance may be the key factor that triggers the change, thus triggering the opportunity for Brother Shaoyang to awaken."
Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, as if she had suddenly found a ray of light in the darkness, as if she felt that Xiaoyu's guess was very reasonable. She nodded gently, the movement was gentle and firm, and a strand of hair fell on her shoulder. She slightly turned sideways, gently brushed away the hair, and said softly: "It is indeed possible. With my variable, it is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which creates ripples. Shaoyang will be affected and should wake up soon. In this case, the subsequent situation will be more complicated and changeable."
"I hope so. I have lost all my magical powers now. In Taichen Palace, I have nothing to do except eating and drinking every day. It seems that I can only eat and wait for death." Jiaojiao's eyes were full of loss and helplessness, and she whispered about her situation. She thought to herself, she was once a highly anticipated descendant in the fox clan, but now she has ended up in such a situation. Is it true that she can only rely on Donghua's protection and waste her time in this palace?
"Sister, don't be so depressed. Didn't Emperor Donghua just say that his pet has transformed, and the person who transformed is you, sister. Isn't it that a new identity and opportunity are right in front of you?" Xiaoyu blinked her smart eyes and consoled her seriously. Xiaoyu knew that Jiaojiao had a strong self-esteem and must be feeling bad at the moment. She just hoped that she could cheer up and seize this rare opportunity. "Besides, we are in Taichen Palace, which is a rare place to grow. With Emperor Donghua here and being able to receive his careful teaching, this is a blessing that many people can't ask for. Sister should cheer up."
Jiaojiao tilted her head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, her eyes gradually brightened: "You are right. The books in Emperor Donghua's study are as numerous as the sea of smoke, and there must be methods and secrets suitable for the fox clan to practice. How can I fall into pessimism and depression so easily?" A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, thinking that perhaps this was her chance to turn the situation around, and she must not let it go. "Forget it, instead of complaining here, it is better to take action. Let's go and find a book. Maybe we can find a way to break through." After saying that, Jiaojiao lifted her skirt and pretended to leave.
"Sister, in my opinion, you have such a negative mentality, I am afraid that the past memories are at work. The experiences in these consecutive worlds are very similar. You always involuntarily substitute too many emotions, which will disturb your emotions. Otherwise, sister, you can agree to let me help you collect this part of the memory." Xiaoyu looked at Jiaojiao with a trace of concern and worry in his eyes. He thought silently in his heart that if Jiaojiao was always troubled by the memory, it might affect her practice, but she was so stubborn, I wonder if she would accept his proposal. "After your soul has been cultivated to be stronger and more stable, you will naturally not be bound by these memories."
Jiaojiao bit her lower lip lightly, and after weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she shook her head: "I know you are doing this for my own good, but this memory is a part of me after all, and I still can't rest assured to hand it over to others." She was conflicted. On the one hand, she knew Xiaoyu wanted to help her, but on the other hand, she was afraid of losing control of her memory, as if losing her memory would mean losing herself. "Forget it, just help me sort it out. I still want to control these memories myself, so that I can feel more at ease."
"Okay, sister, just relax and let me help you sort it out." Xiaoyu's voice was soft and firm, like a spring breeze blowing past your ears, with a reassuring power. As soon as he finished speaking, his posture was as agile as a fairy, as if he had transcended the constraints of time and space. With just a slight shake, in an instant, endless brilliance surged around his body. The light was brilliant and brilliant, just like the stars in the night sky blooming at the same time, and like the Milky Way bursting its banks and turning into countless twinkling stars. These strands of starlight, with a mysterious mission, quietly merged into Jiaojiao's deep, boundless, and mysterious sea of consciousness, which was like a vast ocean.
As soon as he entered the sea of consciousness, Xiaoyu was like a master craftsman blessed by time and wisdom, and experienced to the extreme. Facing this vast and chaotic memory thread, there was no fear or laziness in his eyes, only concentration and determination. Each memory thread here is like a precious story covered by the years. They are shining with joyful golden light, which is the reflection of the happy times in the past; or filled with sad faint blue, as if it is the precipitation of painful experiences; or jumping with exciting fiery red, like those unforgettable moments of boiling blood. Xiaoyu closed his eyes slightly and mobilized all his perception. The keen perception was like an invisible tentacle, gently touching the texture and veins of each memory thread. As he waved his hands, it seemed as if there was an exquisite magic being performed. With a superb skill that was beyond the ordinary, he patiently untied the threads of memory one by one, removing the tangles and confusions, and then put them back in place one by one like weaving the most gorgeous silk. Gradually, the originally tangled memory world became as orderly as the cosmic star map under Xiaoyu's careful care. Each memory exuded a unique and clear light in its own place, as if silently telling the forgotten or dusty past years.
Jiaojiao stretched out her whole body completely, like a crescent moon moistened by the spring rain, and her nerves that had been tense for a long time also relaxed, as if the pressure and fatigue around her body turned into wisps of light smoke, and in this moment, dissipated into the invisible. She just sat there quietly, her face calm and peaceful, like a jade statue treated gently by the years, and she completely entrusted herself to Xiaoyu. Let his gentle power carefully comb through the memory in her mind. Those thoughts that were as complicated and entangled as tangled threads in the past, at this moment, magically seemed to be untied by a pair of skillful hands, slowly spreading, gradually becoming clear, and finally in order.
Jiaojiao was intoxicated by this rare tranquility and comfort. Unconsciously, her eyes, which were originally as bright and shining as stars, slowly closed, and her consciousness gradually fell into the depths of a sweet dream. At this moment, she was like an angel who had descended to the earth and fell into a deep sleep. She exuded a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, beautiful and serene.
At this moment, Emperor Donghua stepped into the room with steady steps. The first thing that caught his deep eyes was such a peaceful and charming picture: a delicate and lovable fox was lying on the desk obediently, immersed in rest. Its furry body rose and fell slightly with its breathing, as if a soft cloud was floating leisurely in the breeze. Its even breathing seemed to be whispering the beauty of dreams, and it was obviously sleeping very sweetly. The warm sunlight was like a golden veil, gently falling on its body through the window, outlining a layer of dreamlike light golden brilliance, making this already smart little fox even more charming in the interweaving of light and shadow, as if it was the most dazzling existence in this silent space, and once people's eyes touched it, they could never look away.
"You little fox, you are quite courageous. You speak out whatever you think without any scruples. You act so rashly that it is really worrying. I have trapped you here just in the hope that you can control your temper and gain more experience and knowledge. Besides, I just want to confirm whether the rumored pet is you." Emperor Donghua frowned slightly. Although there was helplessness in his eyes, there was also a hint of imperceptible doting, and he muttered to himself.
"Forget it, you are still just a little fox who has not been polished. There are still many things that need my careful teaching in the future." Donghua sighed softly, then slowly bent down and gently held Jiaojiao, who was still sleeping, in his arms. The action was extremely gentle, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. He exuded a cold aura, but when he looked down at Jiaojiao in his arms, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes. Then, he was about to leave, planning to go to the Sutra Pavilion to find a suitable Buddhist scripture and read it to the little fox, so that she could understand some truths as soon as possible under the influence of the scriptures and lose some of her wildness and recklessness.
Fortunately, Jiaojiao was immersed in sleep at the moment, and was unaware of Donghua's comments. If she was awake and heard Emperor Donghua's comments on her, she would be furious. With her arrogant and stubborn personality, she would jump up regardless of the difference in their status and argue with Donghua. Although she is a fox, she has also experienced many hardships on the road of cultivation. Now she is still regarded as wild and unruly. This is undoubtedly a great offense to her. She will definitely show her teeth and claws, trying to let Donghua know that she, Jiaojiao, is no longer the ignorant and reckless little fox. The resentment and unwillingness in her heart will be like a surging tide, temporarily drowning her reason. A fierce "debate" is probably inevitable.
