Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 329 - 190: Hidden Beauty in a Gilded House; A Maiden’s Heart

The sunset hangs low, like a leaf stained with fire.

You Su stands by the mountain path, bidding farewell to Fang Gong and the others, even though he can’t really see them, he still does this to show respect.

His idea doesn’t come from nowhere. In those scattered fragments of memory, the thing is called an ’elevator.’

But actually, if it’s just about going up or down Lotus Peak, a cable car is far more suitable than an elevator. You Su proposes the elevator concept to Fang Gong primarily to reward their hard work. This vertical transportation mode would be more fitting for Earth and Wood Peak, which resembles a pyramid. If this method is feasible, Earth and Wood Peak would greatly benefit.

As for Fang Gong’s association with ascending to the heavens, even You Su himself hadn’t thought of that, vastly underestimating this group of engineers’ ambition to conquer the heavens with human power.

"Senior brother, how did you come up with that? You’re so clever!"

Ji Lingruo couldn’t help but exclaim, lightly swiveling her ankle, tired from the day’s hustle.

You Su shook his head and smiled: "It’s not me who’s clever, it’s the people in the mortal realm who are. Once people have the great power bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, they become Immortals and tend to think of relying on Immortal Power to solve issues first, often overlooking their abilities as human beings. But mortals are different; to save effort, they exhaust their wisdom, leveraging all available forces, thinking of every possible method. Things such as looms, bellows, and other items may be dismissed by Immortals but hold great significance for mortals. If Immortals could think like mortals, I believe the Five Continents would undergo earth-shaking changes."

Ji Lingruo listened with some understanding and confusion; perhaps most practitioners are like her, taking their cultivation abilities for granted, forsaking contemplation of the differences between Immortal and mortal, and certainly not pondering deep issues like ’whether living under Immortal governance is reasonable for mortals.’

"In essence, it’s laziness, too lazy to do it themselves, so they use their brains to do less with their hands."

Ji Lingruo’s bright eyes twinkled with intelligence.

You Su couldn’t help but smile wryly, turning to look at Ji Lingruo:

"Junior sister isn’t wrong either; it is indeed laziness, but lazy people can change the world too."

Ji Lingruo felt that You Su’s words were directed at her with some intention, she pursed her lips, complaining that she never concedes defeat when it comes to ’laziness.’

So, according to this, can she change the world one day?

She solemnly stroked her delicate chin twice, showing a satisfied shallow smile:

"Senior brother, I’m hungry, but I’m too lazy to cook. So, I’ve thought of a great idea."

"What idea?" You Su asked in surprise.

"Tell you and then have you do it!" Ji Lingruo chuckled, unable to resist giving a thumbs-up to her own wisdom.

You Su tugged at the corner of his mouth; he thought his junior sister might at least come up with a feasible method like ’ordering takeout,’ but he didn’t expect her method to be so simple and direct.

He couldn’t help but admit that whoever created Ji Lingruo was truly a genius.

...

The dinner was rather simple.

Firstly, the kitchen was newly built, and You Su hadn’t had time to purchase any ingredients or seasonings; secondly, the Fairy Wangshu was present, who still insisted on not eating but insisted on sitting beside them, accompanying them during the meal, making the two quite uncomfortable.

This simple platter of vegetables and fruits, along with some fish jerky You Su brought from the Jade Ring Pool, under Wangshu Fairy’s eager gaze, was still consumed with difficulty by You Su and Ji Lingruo.

Ji Lingruo, being a snake demon, inherently dislikes fruits and vegetables and loves meat; after the meal, she couldn’t help but complain a few times, reminiscing about the delicious oil at lunch, making her mouth water.

Listening to her description, Wangshu Fairy’s gaze dimmed, and she quietly retreated to her room. Even You Su felt this was peculiar; this was the first time Wangshu left proactively, without You Su explicitly indicating that he needed to rest.

Ji Lingruo keenly noticed this, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Soon after, she returned to her room, admiring the newly completed room from that half-day.

The people of Earth and Wood Peak didn’t earn their reputation; even the inside of the new room had been meticulously decorated and was fully ready for move-in. Ji Lingruo was satisfied with this room and couldn’t resist jumping onto the bed, splaying into a ’big’ shape.

In her eagerness to see You Su sooner, she almost raced to Henggao Divine Mountain. Now, with her own bed to rest in, she was too lazy even to get up.

But despite her laziness, Ji Lingruo was quite concerned about bathing. In Chuyun City, even in winter, she insisted on daily bathing, which put a strain on You Su, who had to fetch water and boil it. With the new shower room now, under the Array’s influence, hot water was instantly available, making it much more convenient than before.

Ji Lingruo quickly tidied up, gathered her change of clothes, and hurried to experience it.

Before leaving the room, she hesitated for a moment and took along one item.

By then, night had descended, a bright moon hung in the sky, and stars glittered brilliantly.

Ji Lingruo was the first to knock at Wangshu Fairy’s door.

A simply clad woman gently opened the door, her snow-white hair cascading over her shoulders, her autumn-water-like eyes faintly settling on Ji Lingruo, her voice carrying a touch of etherealness:

"Fairy Lingruo, what’s the matter?"

Ji Lingruo grasped the object in her arms, eventually tossing it over:

"Suddenly lost my appetite, keep it for yourself. If you can’t eat it, just throw it away, it’s leftovers anyway."

After saying this, she hugged her new clothes, turned around, and left, showing no intention to engage in further conversation.
