His thoughts came too quickly and disappeared too quickly, Lin Yi couldn’t grasp that little bit of light.

And very soon, his tonics were really gone, replaced by purely Yin Nourishing Grass boiled in water. After drinking it, only a very small amount of spiritual power could be absorbed from it.

The Pharmacopoeia in his mind was still dimmed and locked closed. This little bit of spiritual power was merely like a cup of water being poured on a burning cart of firewood.

Lin Yi regretted being too impulsive and couldn’t help feeling somewhat agitated. Habitually, he lifted his hand to cover his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

His hand involuntarily touched the skin around his eyes, and at first, nothing felt wrong, but after a while, he felt that the sensation wasn’t right. It was soft and smooth.

……??

Lin Yi stopped pondering and moved his hand to touch his face. The touch felt soft and delicate, very nice to touch, but simply not at all like a man’s face.

In any case, Lin Yi, who was used to his face in his previous life had never felt such a smooth and delicate cheek. Let alone acne, there was not one bit of roughness at all. It was like he was touching the face of a child.

Lin Yi’s first reaction was that his skin was very good.

His second reaction was that something was amiss. Because he was blind, he didn’t know exactly what his body looked like. He didn’t care whether or not he was good-looking, but now his skin gave him a somewhat subtle feeling. With such smooth and delicate skin, he didn’t seem like a blind man who had been cast aside, but rather like a pampered and spoiled young master from a wealthy family.

Or was it that this world had no industrial pollution and everyone was like this?

This unexpected discovery made Lin Yi couldn’t help but want to touch his face and body, finding that not only his face, but other parts of his body were also smooth, delicate, and felt exceedingly nice. If this weren’t his own body, it might seem a bit indecent for him to touch and touch like this, but Lin Yi couldn’t help but knead and play.

“A world without industrial pollution and full of abundant spiritual energy, very good to support oneself.”

In any case, he didn’t believe that a blind abandoned child could have smoother and more delicate skin than others while living in such a miserable situation.

“…Young Miss Ying, your excellency1 cannot enter.”

At that moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Lin Yi frowned, Young Miss Ying? It seemed to be Lin Ying, the daughter of Lin Jintian’s elder brother? The original owner had been living in that remote courtyard since he became blind and had had little contact with the rest of the family. This included Lin Ying. In the memory of the original owner, Lin Ying was but a vague little shadow, holding no impression of what she looked like.

This matter was interesting. His treatment in the Lin Family varied from heaven to earth. For what reason was Young Miss Ying coming to see him?

“I will leave after a few words with Lin Yi.”

“The Patriarch has proclaimed that no one is to come into contact with Lin Yi.”

“I’ll just say a few words! Get out of the way!”

“Young Miss Ying, wait–”

Lin Yi watched as two figures outside pulled apart before each ran in one after the other bringing an accompanying gust of fragrant wind that assaulted the senses.

“Lin Yi! I warn you, even if you marry into the Pei Family, you aren’t allowed to cling to Big Brother Pei, you aren’t allowed to seduce him, and you aren’t allowed to see him except for intercourse! And, even if you do have intercourse, you’re not allowed to kiss or touch him! If I find out that you dare do these things, I will not let you off!”

Ling Ying, who rushed in, warned Lin Yi to not cling to Pei Xuanqing, to not seduce Pei Xuanqing, to not kiss Pei Xuanqing, and to not touch Pei Xuanqing.

Lin Yi was struck speechless. Surely this Lin Ying wasn’t mentally ill?

“Who do you think you are? You come in blabbering your mouth, daring to demand that I must not do this and that I must not do that. Why should I listen to you?” Lin Yi asked.

“What? You still dare talk back to me? You blind trash dare to talk to me like that? Do you think you can just fly up a branch and become a phoenix if you marry Big Brother Pei? You’re nothing more than blind trash, don’t give me those unrealistic dreams. I tell you, you’re just blind trash and you’ll only ever be blind trash. Whether it’s the Lin Family or the Pei Family, you’ll never have a say. A bug in the mud will always be a bug in the mud!” Lin Ying spat abuses.

Did this Lin Ying eat firecrackers with the way her mouth was endlessly crackling?

Lin Yi sneered and said, “Really? Then I sympathize with you. The bug in the mud in your eyes is about to crawl onto your Big Brother Pei. By then, not only will your Big Brother Pei sleep with this bug, but he will also strip this bug naked of his clothes, hug him, kiss him, and you can do nothing but jump around and get angry.”

Daring to call him a bug. See if you won’t die from disgust.

Lin Ying was really angered to death, “Y-you! Lin Yi, I don’t allow you to touch Big Brother Pei! I don’t allow you to touch him!”

As she spoke, she was already ready to strike. She had already awoken her primordial soul and successfully contracted a pair of second-grade blood swallow demon beasts. The blood swallows had long and slender beaks which could drill a hole into a person’s body in the blink of an eye.

Although Lin Yi couldn’t see, his instinctive reaction to danger made him quickly leap aside. A sharp screech swept past his body, making his scalp numb.

“Stop!” The servant guarding was frightened and immediately blocked the blood swallow. “Young Miss Ying, this is the Green Bamboo Courtyard, not your Fragant Viridian Garden! You break in with no regard and try to attack, do you not attach any importance to the Patariach?!”

Lin Ying came to her senses and broke into a cold sweat, quickly summoning the blood swallows back, but when she looked back at Lin Yi, her complexion turned ashen. At the thought of what Lin Yi was being sent to the Pei Family to do, and when that time came, doing the sort of things Lin Yi said; him sleeping with Pei Xuanqing and doing all types of intimate things. She hated Lin Yi to death, her eyes seeming like they were about to shoot fire.

“Lin Yi, you wait and see, when you’re no longer useful, I’ll tear you into thousands of pieces!”

Useful? Lin Yi’s thoughts turned, “I’m going to be married as Pei Xuanqing’s wife. What is an outsider like you still doing, daring to shout and threaten to kill me?”

“Wife?” Lin Ying seemed like she’d heard a huge joke and mockingly said, “Blind trash like you still wants to become Big Brother Pei’s wife? Really a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, yet really only being sent over to treat Big Brother Pei’s legs…”

“Young Miss Ying!” The servant yelled to interrupt Lin Ying, “Please leave, or else I will have no choice but to ask the Patriarch to come over!”

Lin Yi inwardly cursed. He was almost able to learn from Lin Ying!

However, he was being sent off to treat Pei Xuanqing’s legs? What was the Lin Family thinking? He was just a blind man without the ability of a pharmacist, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to send him over to treat Pei Xuanqing? There must be something wrong with this matter!

Lin Ying was forcibly sent out by a servant, and as she left, she was still cursing Lin Yi, forbidding him from doing anything to her Big Brother Pei.

Lin Yi didn’t think her cursing was offensive at all at the moment and rather wished she’d stay so that he might still be able to learn the secret from her mouth.

What a pity, it was just a little short.

“Young Master Yi, you don’t have to take Young Miss Ying’s words to heart.” The servant reassured after returning.

Lin Yi scoffed and in his mind scolded: Nonsense, your words are just bullshit.

1, Although a bit too much in English, this was the only way I found to convey the usage of the formal/respectful “you” vs the informal. If someone has a better option, please feel free to offer a suggestion. Also random English fact, did you know our current ‘you’ was originally the formal version of ‘thou’? I learned this by googling it years ago, not from English class. Imagine that.
