Yuecheng Xuejian woke up once in the middle of the night, but it was still dark outside. The wounds on her eyes and arms hurt so much that she fell asleep again in a daze.

When she woke up the second time and found that it was still pitch black in front of her, she understood what was going on.

The black bear aimed its claws at her eyes with the intention of blinding her. She was mentally prepared when she fainted.

I just feel a little sorry for the original body, because before she could take one last look at her lover, she ruined her body and became blind.

Xuejian calmed herself down. Instead of making a sound to call for someone to come and check on her, she called the system first.

[Poached eggs.]

[Host.] The system responded quickly.

[Poached egg, can my eyes be cured?]

[From a medical point of view, the host's optic nerve has been corroded by toxins and cannot be repaired. But the system can heal you, do you want it?]

Xuejian thought about it, [Is there a way to keep the eyes blind without affecting the eyesight?]

[In this case, the host can share vision with the system, so that in the eyes of others you are still blind, but you can actually still see.]

[Okay, that's enough, can I turn my vision on and off freely?]

[certainly. ]

Xuejian felt relieved after getting a satisfactory answer. She didn't expect that just going out to kill monsters would turn out to be an unintentional self-torture. She just didn't know if it would work on Naraku.

Xuejian was not in a hurry to share her vision. Since she had already become blind, she might as well adapt to the darkness, otherwise it would be bad if she was exposed in the future.

After a while, she spoke in confusion and doubt.

"……anyone there?"

"Madam, you're awake." It was Li Zi's voice.

Xuejian reached out her hand following the voice, and after waving it in the air a few times, she was grasped by a pair of furry and soft pads, "Madam, I'm here."

Xue Jian smiled and said, "Before I wanted you to show me your paw pads and let me touch them but you refused. Why are you so proactive today?"

As she was about to pinch the kitten's paw, Li Zi didn't shrink it back, and obediently let her tickle him, sobbing and saying:

"Madam, madam, your eyes..."

"Okay, I guessed it. Do you still need to deceive me? It's dark now and there's no light. The world in the eyes of a blind person is different from yours. I'm not a fool."

The lady's tone was very gentle, no different from usual, but Li Zi cried even harder.

Xuejian reluctantly put down her cat paw to wipe Li Zi's tears, but unfortunately her hand was not accurate and she almost poked her forehead. Li Zi held her hand and found the right position, and coaxed her skillfully:

"Stop crying, tell me where my husband and Taromaru are?"

Because of Lord Naraku's request, the lady hasn't called him husband for a long time, but her first reaction after waking up from a serious injury was still this title. The lady really treats Lord Naraku as her husband.

So what does Lord Naraku think?

"Your Highness has personally gone to see the physician who treated the Madam. Taromaru was reprimanded by the Master and locked in a specially made small cage." Kuriko emphasized, wanting to make Tsukishiro Yukie happy, and added, "You have been in a coma for two days."

Xuejian thought, if she went to ask for a doctor as a Yin Dao, how would Naraku explain to others that she was blind? Was her eye pecked by an eagle?

"What's going on with Kandoromaru? Let him out."

After taking another bowl of bitter medicine, Xuejian lay back in bed and began to look forward to Naraku's reaction.

*

Unfortunately, Naraku didn't show up the whole day.

Xuejian felt a little regretful. Wasn't there any psychological fluctuation at all? It felt like the mission was about to end.

After waiting for a long time, she finally received a consultation from three doctors and a gift of consolation from the city lord. Xuejian then learned that the official version was that she accompanied Yin Dao to hunt, and a black bear attacked Yin Dao. She bravely threw herself on Yin Dao to block the black bear, and was blinded by the black bear.

By the way, the skin of the black bear was peeled off and was covering her body.

After waiting for another two days, Doramaru was finally released.

The golden eagle flew directly back into the house from the yard, and as soon as it landed, it was choked by the smell of medicine in the room and fell down.

“This smell is too bad.”

Li Zi was no longer afraid of his natural enemies, and jumped up to cover his mouth, "Madam just fell asleep."

"I'm not asleep yet, Taromaru?" Yukie shouted.

Doramaru walked into the inner room, hugged Xuejian's thighs and howled like a ghost.

"You finally woke up."

His golden hair lay limply on his head, and he didn't have any of the arrogance he had when he was arguing with Li Zi.

After trying to coax Doramaru back to normal, she realized that after the black bear blinded her, she was stabbed by Naraku, and then the two of them sent her back to Hitomi Castle as quickly as possible. She first asked for a human doctor, then a monk and a shrine maiden, and finally saved her life.

But his eyes could not be cured, and Doramaru actually went out to look for the elders of his clan these past few days, but to no avail.

Xuejian comforted him for a long time. Although Doramaru and Li Zi were not willing to stay at first, the two little demons were kind-hearted and had developed feelings for her a long time ago. They were scared by her injury this time.

After telling Taromaru to rest well and promise not to be angry with him, Yukie felt that this was her most tiring day.

However, Naraku still did not show up.

At least let me say goodbye. Isn't it a bit too fast to log out of the game now?

After hearing from Li Zi that Naraku actually came every day, but she was sleeping at that time, Xue Jian thought that Li Zi was just coaxing her.

Because one time she slept too much the day before and tossed and turned at night and still couldn't fall asleep, so she thought of just waiting and seeing if Naraku would come, but he didn't.

She sat on the bed for a long time, the jade flute in her hand was almost soaked with sweat, and it was so slippery that she could hardly hold it. Xuejian thought that if Naraku came over, she would tell him that she didn't care about Blindness at all, and he didn't need to hide from her. She didn't need to worry that Blindness would make her spiritual power disappear or unable to use it, she still had the flute, and she could still be his helper. If you don't believe it, you can play a song to make May snow now.

But he didn't come.

The weather in May was already very warm, but because of her injury, there was still a charcoal fire burning in the house. The warmth and even heat made people drowsy.

Yuecheng Xuejian sat like this all night.

I neither saw anyone nor sensed the presence of a half-demon.

Or does being blind mean that one's senses have become insensitive?

Finally, in the early morning when the sun was eager to rise, the sky was already covered with a layer of warm light. Xuejian finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into bed.

...She seemed to be confused and thought someone was tucking her in.

When Li Zi woke her up the next day, she realized it was already afternoon.

The bad thing about being blind is that you can't tell the difference between the sun and the moon, or east and west. Since she was injured, Xuejian has not even stepped out of her inner room. She eats and sleeps every day, and it feels like she has gained two pounds of fat on her face.

"No, the lady is getting thinner and thinner." said Li Zi.

Is that so? Xuejian touched her face, then her collarbone, then her stomach and ribs, and felt that she had lost some weight.

She opened her eyes and saw the diagnosis written by the doctor:

The remaining poison is hard to clear and has penetrated deep into the lungs. I am afraid I will not live long.

The black bear demon's claws were extremely poisonous. An ordinary person would have died long ago, but she had this incredible bug in the system, so it only looked like the poison had not yet been cleared, but her body was actually in extremely good health.

So this is really a character chosen by God to play the pitiful role. Naraku, you are such a heartless guy that you don’t even come to visit the patient. This is not contagious!

Xuejian cursed in her heart a thousand times.

Now the only reason for her to stay is to check in with the protagonist group and help them destroy the Four Souls Jade. Humph.

Gradually, Yuecheng Xuejian realized that she couldn't go on like this. Although she had a system with shared vision, she maintained a blind posture most of the time in order to avoid being noticed, and she could barely walk out of the inner room.

If this continues, the mental state will be worrying.

Li Zi thought so too, so he took her for a walk in the yard today.

I have been walking in this courtyard for four years, which is only a few hundred meters in modern measurement units. I thought I was familiar with every tree and blade of grass here, but when I walked around with my eyes closed, my knees either bumped against each other or my feet stepped on stones on the roadside.

Yukimi Tsukishiro said that when she returns to reality she will support a charity foundation for the blind, which is really not easy.

Holding Li Zi's hand and walking to the familiar wisteria tree, Xue Jian said to Li Zi:

"I'm going to take a nap here today. Go get me a small blanket."

Li Zi hesitated, saying that he was afraid of catching a cold, but he still went on despite her repeated urging.

Soon Li Zi brought a blanket and a thin quilt and spread them on the ground. Xuejian pulled off the white silk covering her eyes and opened her eyes.

To outsiders, these eyes as bright as gems have turned into fish eyes. The originally golden pupils have become dull and turned into the turbid yellow color of expired honey.

She heard the sound of a golden eagle flapping its wings in the distance, and her eyes moved along with it, but there was no trace of spirit in them.

Duo Luo Wan landed beside her and tried to pull her up, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Then he shouted loudly to the other side: "Why don't you stop her, na..."

"What?" Xuejian tilted her head, her messy black hair hanging on the grass without being combed into a bun.

"I asked Li Zi to do this. This weather is perfect for a nap. I'm not that squeamish."

"……Oh."

Taromaru turned back into a golden eagle, landed on the wisteria vines, and stared at Xuejian without blinking.

Xuejian opened her eyes and could see him. She saw a big bird landing on a slender vine, pressing the vine so that it was only a few dozen centimeters from the ground. The flowers on it swayed and fell on Xuejian's face, just covering the corner of her mouth that was almost exposed.

"The flowers have fallen."

she murmured.

The collar of her snow-blue kimono opened as she moved back and forth. Wisteria flowers fell on her face, covering her pale, cracked mouth and lifeless eyes. Her long hair was flowing, and a strand of it was hanging on the tree trunk.

Next to the white tabi were the wooden clogs she had taken off. Even after Li Zi had persuaded her several times, Xuejian still took off her shoes and socks and walked barefoot on the grass. Now she felt a little cold, but Xuejian thought it would be too embarrassing to put them back on, so she tucked her frozen toes under the hem of her kimono.

Smelling the familiar scent of flowers, everything is so quiet and comfortable.

It can be considered a blessing in disguise. If his injury heals, he will have to work as a laborer for Naraku again.

I'm a little sleepy, so I'll just take a nap.

Tsukishiro Yukie's breathing gradually became steady, and she didn't even notice that Taramaru and Kuriko were called away.

While sleeping, she suddenly felt an itchy feeling on her feet, probably from a mosquito bite. Xuejian kicked her feet dazedly and felt that the mosquito had been driven away. She turned over and continued to sleep.

"Ma'am, ma'am."

"Ma'am, it's time for dinner."

After being woken up by Li Zi, Xuejian stretched and was about to put on the tabi and clogs when she suddenly found that the tabi were already on her feet.

Xue Jian asked curiously, "Li Zi, did you put this on me?"

I touched my hair and found it was neatly combed and tied with a hairband.

"...Well, yes." Li Zi's expression was a little strange.

Xuejian didn't care too much and went back to the house with Li Zi.

Naraku is inside.

No, you have to stay calm and not reveal the truth.

Xuejian stopped and asked, "Where is my Bai Ling?"

"Oh, I forgot. Madam, please wait a moment while I go back to the yard to look for it."

If I remember correctly, I tied it to a branch myself. I hope Li Zi can find it soon.

Covered with white silk, even if the vision is opened, it is not clear, so Naraku will not notice anything unusual.

Letting go of Li Zi's hand, Xue Jian closed the vision of one eye, and while observing Naraku's expression, she slowly walked inside while holding on to the wall.

The house had been rearranged long ago, so there would be no extra objects to prevent Xuejian from returning to the inner room. She just had to remember the approximate direction and how many steps away she was.

In front of Naraku, Xuejian was extremely alert, counting a few numbers with her mouth and groping with her hands in front of her body.

"One, two, three, four, five... and then turn right."

"Almost there, ten more steps."

"Oops" This is hitting the table "It's time to sit down."

After finishing this route, Xuejian wanted to applaud herself.

In order to make it realistic enough, she turned off the vision of both eyes halfway through the walk and walked in the dark.

The inner torment and helplessness after losing sight are vividly portrayed on the paper.

That's it, Naraku, you don't have any reaction at all.

Just follow me and watch me walk away without saying a word?

I take a step and you take a step. When I stop, you stop too. I almost fall and you don’t even help me?

Xuejian was so furious that she really wanted to turn around and slap him in the face.

Li Zi took back the white silk, blindfolded Xuejian again, and let her open her eyes again. She wanted to see what this bastard was doing.

...Why would you show such an expression?

Perhaps it was not clear enough through the white silk, so Xuejian asked the system to confirm it again.

It turned out to be true.

Xuejian picked up the dishes and chopsticks silently.

There were only the two of them in the silent inner room. Naraku's face was as gloomy as water. He watched silently as Xuejian picked up the bowl and chopsticks and poked the chopsticks into the plate, making a harsh sound.

Then, while she was frightened and pulled her hand back, he quickly and quietly placed her favorite eel in the bowl.

Xuejian pretended not to know and said, "Thank you, Li Zi."

Naraku lowered his head and smiled.

Then I helped her pick up food for the whole meal.

When she lowered her head to eat, Naraku sat silently beside her, looking at her for a long time.

Only after he saw her finish eating did Naraku adjust his expression and leave quietly, as if he had never appeared.

Xuejian didn't understand what Naraku was thinking.

*

The next morning, Xuejian was woken up by Li Zi, asked to wash and dress, and then taken to a separate meeting room.

What is this tabby cat doing?

Xuejian cursed in her heart and moved forward clumsily step by step. After a few steps, she was grabbed by a rough hand and led to sit on the cushion.

The owner of the hand finally spoke, his voice mixed with tears and longing.

"Your Highness, do you still remember me?"

There was silence in the room.

"Toukichirou?"
