The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 65 Xiaoyu, do you want a partner?
【Peach Garden】

The garden was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the peach trees in the garden were laden with large, red peaches.

The husbands of the seven princesses all went to help with other matters of the banquet, while they, carrying small baskets, were picking peaches.

Some peaches mature once every three thousand years, some once every six thousand years, and high-quality peaches take nine thousand years to mature.

Legend has it that if a person eats the giant peach, which ripens once every nine thousand years, he will become an immortal, and if an immortal eats it, he will live as long as the heaven and earth, and as long as the sun and the moon. If you eat the smaller peach, which ripens once every nine thousand years, you will also improve your cultivation, prolong your life, and beautify your skin!
But in fact, no matter how long the peaches last, they have a greater function, which is to help the immortals delay the "three disasters". Relatively speaking, the delay time of the nine thousand years of peaches is longer, the delay time of the six thousand years of peaches is shorter, and the delay time of the three thousand years of peaches is even shorter.

The "three disasters" occur every five hundred years and refer to thunderstorms, fire from the sky, and strong winds.

Thunderstorms come from the sky, and it is relatively easy to avoid them as long as you run fast. Like the Monkey King, who can fly 108,000 miles with one somersault cloud, it is easy to avoid them.

The most dangerous are Yin Fire and Bi Wind.

The Yin Fire starts burning from under the Yongquan point, and the Bi Feng blows into the six internal organs from the fontanelle, leaving no way to escape.

The Yin Fire burned through the Niyuan Palace, turning the five internal organs into ash and the four limbs into ashes. The thousand years of hard work became illusory. The Bi Wind blew from the fontanelle into the six internal organs, through the Dantian, through the nine orifices, and the bones and flesh disappeared. (Note: "Three disasters" is borrowed from what Patriarch Bodhi said to Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West".)
The immortals who could escape the "three disasters" must be people with great magical powers. After all, many immortal cultivators in the mortal world died from the "three disasters" before they were ranked among the immortals.

When Xia Yu was 500 years old, she encountered a so-called "thunderstorm". She was staying in the [Marriage Palace] at that time, and fortunately her master saved her life.

The master said that when she is one thousand years old, she will encounter a "fire".

Alas! It is really not easy to be a god!
This is probably the only "lifeline" of all the immortals.

Every year at the Peach Festival (the Queen Mother's birthday), all the gods who have made contributions to the Heavenly Court will be given a peach. The gods who have made great contributions will be given peaches that ripen once every 9,000 years, the gods who have made medium contributions will be given peaches that ripen once every 6,000 years, and the gods who have made average or minimal contributions will be given peaches that ripen once every 3,000 years.

Without contributors, you cannot eat the peaches.

For more than 500 years, a small immortal disciple like Xia Yu has been given small peaches that ripen once every 3,000 years. And among her 98 senior brothers, at least 66 of them have been given medium and large peaches that ripen once every 6,000 years.

The seven princesses dispersed in the garden and each went to pick peaches.

Xia Yu comes to help pick peaches every year. Many times she wants to secretly eat a big one, but she has the desire but not the courage.

"Xiao Yu?"

Seeing Xia Yu picking peaches in a daze, the Seventh Princess came over with a basket and called her.

"Yes." Xia Yu responded quickly.

"Hehe..." The Seventh Princess walked towards Xia Yu with a smile on her face. They were picking peaches from the same peach tree. She suddenly said, "My Fourth Sister used magic to find your phone number before. I was very surprised. When have you been to the mortal world?"

Xia Yu had just picked a big, red peach from the peach tree and put it in the basket before slowly saying, "It was yesterday. In the mortal world, it should have been more than a year."

The Seventh Princess felt a little sorry after hearing this, and asked again: "Which city in the mortal world did you go to? Why don't you come to my house to play for a few days? My second, fifth, and sixth sisters live far away, and my fourth sister and I have always lived next to each other. If you go, you can accompany us."

"If there is another chance to come down to earth..." Xia Yu said happily, "I will definitely visit the seven princesses next time." "Yes." The seven princesses nodded and said with a smile, "We will wait for you in the mortal world."

Hearing the Seventh Princess and Xia Yu talking, the Fourth Princess also sneaked over.

As if she was afraid that the other sisters would hear her, the fourth princess came to Xia Yu silently.

"Fourth sister." The Seventh Princess turned around and saw the Fourth Princess. She hesitated for a moment, pushed her aside, and said softly, "How about... forget it..."

Forget it?

Forget it?
"Seventh sister, how can that be possible? I have already promised Yu Ri, and he is waiting for my good news!" The fourth princess also answered the seventh princess in a low voice. They thought Xia Yu couldn't hear them.

Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed. They were whispering in front of her. If she listened... it would be impolite. If she didn't listen... the voices came back to her.

I had no choice but to... cooperate with them and pretend I couldn't hear them.

"Xiaoyu..." The fourth princess pulled the seventh princess away with one hand and asked with ill intentions: "Do you have someone you like in this heaven?"

The one you like?

Xia Yu smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "No..."

The Seventh Princess seemed unconvinced and asked Xia Yu, "When I came here last year, I saw you getting close to your second brother Li Jian. I thought you liked him!"

"Because, relatively speaking, Second Senior Brother took care of me more, so... when he came back, I got closer to him. But... I don't have any improper thoughts about Second Senior Brother." Xia Yu said as he went to pick peaches under another peach tree.

"That's great!" The fourth princess said happily. She glanced at the seventh princess and said, "See! I told you she doesn't like Li Jian."

"Fourth sister..." The Seventh Princess still felt uneasy: "If Yue Lao knew about this..."

The fourth princess didn't care about that. She flew to Xia Yu's side again and asked before the other sisters noticed: "Xiaoyu, do you want... a husband? Oh... now we call him 'husband'. Although we live in the mortal world, we still forget these 'new names' occasionally..."

Xia Yu had already picked a basket full of peaches. After hearing what the Fourth Princess said, she was a little confused: "The Fourth Princess wants to help me... with a match?"

Are you kidding me? She is in this line of work, why are you trying to steal her job?
"Silly girl..." The fourth princess poked Xia Yu's forehead with her hand and said sympathetically, "The lazy god Yue Lao will not arrange a marriage for you just to keep you company with him in the [Marriage Palace]. This princess can't stand it anymore, so I want to introduce you to someone..."

"Fourth sister may be a little anxious, but her original intention is good. You can consider it..." The Seventh Princess echoed.

If the Fourth Princess hadn't mentioned it today, Xia Yu would never have thought about his own marriage.

Because she felt that as a disciple of Yue Lao, she should be like Yue Lao...not destined to marry.

Seeing that Xia Yu was a little moved, the fourth princess seized the opportunity and said, "Yu Ri has a good brother, who is good-looking and has good character, but is still single. He knows that my seventh sister and I are fairies, so he asked us to help introduce a fairy. We seven sisters have found our homes, so where can we find a fairy for her? I thought about it, you are a disciple of Yue Lao, your status is higher than those fairies, and you can be considered a proper fairy."
