Chapter 208 Siblings
Jiang Yu stared wide-eyed at the saintly woman in his heart, who lay helplessly on the bed like a collapsed jade mountain. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. This silly look amused Fan Qingyu, and she giggled.
"The Pope said we were born the wrong gender, and now I think he's right. You, who have no sense of romance, should be confined to a high tower, while I should enjoy the life of romance and beauty. Little Yu Yu is so cute!"
"If we hadn't managed to restrain you, you would have probably torn a hole in the sky by now," Fan Qingyin said through gritted teeth. This older sister had always loved to tease him since they were little, and he would never forget the scene when he first saw his sister, who was as beautiful as a doll.
He was overjoyed but also afraid that his sister wouldn't play with him, so he timidly lagged far behind the group. But his sister quickly noticed him and kindly took him along. At that time, the little ones could only be bystanders of the ceremony. Fan Qingyu secretly took him to see the sacred lotus and even made him little animals out of snow to play with.
If she hadn't maliciously thrown him into a snow pit and buried him, he wouldn't have known that this saintess was a black sesame seed. He also thought of Lan Yu; the plans he had made had been delayed by too many unexpected events, and he wondered how Lord Lu Shuang and Lan Yu were doing.
"Little Yu Yu, isn't my rascal incredibly boring? He's always been like this since he was little, never smiling. Look at him now, so young and his face is as stiff as a coffin. It's only natural that you don't like him." Fan Qingyu started babbling again, not forgetting to pull Jiang Yu to sit down next to her.
Just as Fan Qingyin was about to kick her out with a livid face, she spoke again: "My younger brother doesn't know any of those fancy things, and he's not cunning, but he has no bad intentions and disdains those scheming and intrigues. Once he's set his mind on you, he'll give you everything, including his own life. This incident shows that."
Fan Qingyu held Jiang Yu's hand, inwardly complaining that these cumbersome gloves were really preventing her from squeezing her sister-in-law's soft little hands. She said sincerely, "He is actually the most thoughtful person. He won't say anything even if he suffers any grievances. He will never ask others to do things he can do himself and won't cause you any trouble."
“Little Yu Yu, I’m so happy that you like my silly little brother. I can see your feelings and care for him. You will have other excellent partners in the future. Qing Yin can still get a good ranking because of his family, but with his personality, you will inevitably dislike him in the future.” Fan Qing Yu pursed her lips: “The one I worry about the most in the Fan family is him. He has a strong personality and can digest a lot of negative emotions on his own. I just hope that you can give him some care from time to time. That will be enough.”
Fan Qingyu was also helpless. She wasn't usually the type to keep quiet and talkative, but this time she was going back to the Holy Mountain, and Qingyin was going back to the Ocean Empire with Jiang Yu, so it would be difficult for them to meet again. Therefore, she had to make sure that she had something to say while she had the chance.
Fan Qingyin's expression was complicated; he was somewhat surprised that his sister could say such a thing. He frowned and called out to her, "Sister..."
"Sister, don't worry." Jiang Yu smiled slightly and took Fan Qingyu's hand in return. "I have never felt that Qingyin is cold. He has given me the greatest tenderness and love. I can feel it, and I have tried my best to reciprocate his love. The love between us will not fade with time, nor will it be taken away because of my other partners."
"Sister, I really love him." Jiang Yu was a little shy, but still looked firmly into Fan Qingyu's eyes behind her veil. There was a moment of surprise in those eyes, followed by relief and joy.
“That’s great,” Fan Qingyu said, then started joking again: “It’s so enviable. I also want a lover like Xiao Yuyu. Unfortunately, I can’t have a lover. Sure enough, God always locks the best people in narrow gates.”
Fan Qingyin stood to the side, blushing slightly after hearing this. With his red hair and red eyes, his shy appearance was captivating. Fan Qingyu glanced at him and teased, "Hey, you've actually turned misfortune into blessing. You look much better now that you've changed your hair and eye color. Before, you were unappealing to me."
"Thank you so much for coming to visit me." Fan Qingyin rolled her eyes dramatically.
Seeing the way the siblings interacted, Jiang Yu found it quite adorable. Just as she was about to laugh, she heard Fan Qingyin suddenly mention Lan Yu: "Sister, do you still remember Lan Yu?"
"Lan Yu? Who is that?" Fan Qingyu clearly couldn't remember him at all just by his name. Fan Qingyin had no choice but to say a little more: "The son of the Lan family who specializes in manufacturing carriages. It is said that you met him once when you were young by chance."
"Ah! That little mouse!" Fan Qingyu remembered, "The little guy I saved and hid in the Saintess Tower to freeload?"
“He’s not young, he’s the same age as you or older.” Fan Qingyin said with dissatisfaction, “Why did you put a soul mark on him? He’s now married and gone to the Ocean Empire, and he’s bedridden because of your soul mark.”
"Ah, this..." Fan Qingyu thought for a moment and explained, "Because I secretly hid him. It is an ironclad rule that the Holy Maiden cannot come into contact with outsiders and that no outsiders can set foot in the Holy Maiden Tower. I would be punished. If my life essence is contaminated, it will be terrible. So I tricked him into planting a soul imprint on him. In reality, it was just to protect myself from disaster. It was just a small magic array replacement."
Jiang Yu didn't understand any of this, and only asked, "Sister, I've also met Mr. Lan Yu and his wife, Lord Lu Shuang. They are both very good people. Is there any way to resolve this?"
“Hmm, this is very simple. So many years have passed, I’m all better now. Since it’s affecting him, we can just remove the soul imprint.” She casually took out a small bottle and handed it to Jiang Yu: “When you see Lan Yu, give him this to drink, then have him drip his blood into it, and then burn it.”
"It's that simple," Jiang Yu said, taking the bottle. She had thought that Lan Yu would have to come to see the Holy Maiden in person.
"That's wonderful. The impetuous boy from back then has found his place." Fan Qingyu said with a smile. She loved this kind of happy ending the most. "Oh, right, since he's an old friend, let's give him a little gift!" Fan Qingyu said, taking out a small purple bottle. "Let him drink this too. It will make his wife like him even more."
"...?" Fan Qingyin said with disdain, "You are a saintess, why are you still studying these unorthodox and heretical methods?"
"What kind of crooked trick is this!" Fan Qingyu shouted. "Life is already so boring, why can't people have some other hobbies?! I developed this for you, but unfortunately, none of these little things I made seem to work on our bloodline. Who can you blame for your natural immunity! You unlucky fellow!"
