The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 123 Thatched House

The fifth fairy leaned over and picked up a log. Now her spiritual energy had only recovered a little bit, and she couldn't use it at all. Because of her serious injuries, she could only use one or two points of her full strength. She moved it with great effort and managed to put the log diagonally. But the next step was the real difficulty. The fifth fairy looked at the log and was a little at a loss. She had tried before, but she couldn't lift the weapon at all. How could she shave the contact surface of the log flat? She raised her hand and put it down, hesitating, hesitating again and again, and lowered her head.

"Can't do it?"

The voice rang in her ears. Although it clearly did not carry any emotion, it made the fifth fairy tremble. She didn't know since when, she was no longer the spirited fairy. She had fallen into the mortal world, without any magical power or spiritual energy. She seemed to be no different from ordinary people. She was afraid of monsters, darkness, loud noises, and night. Her spirit was worn away by the day-to-day life, and she became more and more timid.

"Forget it, I'll do it."

Ding Lin noticed the strangeness of the Five Fairies. The corners of his mouth twitched, feeling somewhat helpless. Although he had a bad impression of the Five Fairies because of the previous encounter, he had never deliberately treated her harshly for Yang Chan's sake. He usually let her do her thing and would not be stingy with any care that could be done easily. Why did this fairy seem to be getting more and more afraid of him?

Swipe!

Ding Lin moved quickly, his aura as sharp as a knife. He cut the logs one by one, then stacked them up layer by layer, cut off the excess parts, and left space for windows. Cultivation was really a good thing. In less than half an hour, the four walls were formed in his hands. He cut a groove at the top, found a thick and long log, shaved off the surface, and used mortise and tenon method to erect it on the roof as a beam, and used some thinner wood as purlins, arranging them densely.

In this way, the outline of a tree house is completed.

Ding Lin's hands were steady.

The fifth fairy lowered her head slightly and looked at Ding Lin's hand. Her heart slowly calmed down. She raised her head slightly and Ding Lin's face came into her sight. It was an ordinary face. Memories quickly came to her mind. This was not the first time she had dealt with Ding Lin. When she saw Ding Lin's face again, the fear that she had imagined and speculated about because of various things these days suddenly dissipated a lot.

Just like the moon in the sky, the so-called elusiveness is more in the imagination. When the filter is broken, the moon shines down to the mortal world and is reflected in rivers, lakes and seas. In fact, it is just an ordinary scene.

Ultimately, it's just overthinking.

The five fairies felt calm and a little absent-minded.

"what happened?"

With his perception at the level of Yuanshen, Ding Lin could naturally sense the gazes of the five fairies. After building the main body, he activated his demonic energy and selected some narrow and wide banana-shaped leaves from the messy leaves on the ground. Then, his fingers flew, deftly weaving them into a whole.

"No...nothing..."

The five fairies pursed their lips and quickly looked away, just watching Ding Lin's movements.

But the memories of these days still flash through my mind.

The fifth fairy remembered that the first person she saw when she woke up from the coma was Ding Lin. No matter what the purpose was, it was Ding Lin who saved her. Then, he came back and drove away the Yuanshen demon that regarded her as food.

And then, the fire that was lit in the darkness.

Last night, the demonic shield was propped up in the rainstorm, and the small shelter was built behind it.

And now to the thatched houses built now...

Plus what I've seen these days.

Ding Lin seemed to be really different from the monsters she had heard about in the sky.

After all, people still need to go through hardships in order to grow. When the prejudices in their hearts are removed, they will often see things much more clearly.

Thinking back further, the fifth fairy recalled the shuttle she fired at Ding Lin when they first met.

Despite this prefix, everything that follows seems abrupt.

But those kindnesses and helps cannot be faked.

As for why Ding Lin would help her, there must be some reason. The fog was cleared and the traces were revealed.

The fifth fairy pursed her lips, feeling confused and ashamed. She was confused about why Ding Lin helped her and ashamed of what she had done in the past.

"Thank you."

The fifth fairy suddenly said.

"Sorry……"

After a pause, she apologized again.

The thanks are for the kindness and care during these days; the apology is for the indiscriminate attack.

Ding Lin paused.

"I didn't save you because of you." Ding Lin said, his lips curled up, and he looked up and down at the five fairies, "But now you are much more sensible than before. If you were like this at the beginning, maybe I would be more willing to save you."

"I……"

The fifth fairy opened her mouth.

"I'll accept your apology, after all, you did hit me, but you don't need to thank me, someone has already paid you in advance. Well, if you put the leaves together like this, you can cover the roof. That's it."

Ding Lin said, answering vaguely and quickly changing the subject, not wanting to talk in depth. If he went on, he would have to talk about Yang Chan. Ding Lin didn't want to mention Yang Chan in front of the five fairies, for fear of reminding her and bringing up non-existent thoughts, which would bring trouble to Yang Chan.

"Yes."

Although the fifth fairy still had doubts in her heart, she nodded.

"Okay then, you can build the roof at the back yourself."

Ding Lin said, glancing towards the snake cave.

In the cave, the white snake was still practicing. Her soul had already become 70% to 80% yang, so she could practice during the day. Practicing in the spiritual veins at the top of the peak was a treatment she had never dreamed of before, so she cherished it very much. On weekdays, as long as Ding Lin did not order her to do so, she would practice day and night. The green snake had already recovered her vitality. She had just entered the Dan realm not long ago and could not stand the harshness of the sun's essence. Although she practiced very hard, she had to stop during the day. At this time, she leaned against the stone wall, bored, playing with a bunch of green hair with both hands. She was originally looking at the white snake, but when she heard the movement here, she turned her head and looked at it curiously.

The two snakes didn't know why Ding Lin kept a human female on the peak. Due to the monster's instinct to obey the superior, they never asked or contacted her. They were on the same peak, but had two completely different life trajectories.

Ding Lin did not disturb the white snake. He waved to the green snake, motioning her to come over.

"Mountain Master."

The green snake obeyed and stepped forward.

"Just now, you watched for so long, have you learned it?"

Ding Lin asked.

The green snake nodded.

"That's fine," Ding Lin instructed, "Your cultivation level is not high enough, so you can't practice during the day. Since you have nothing to do, you can just repair the top of the mountain."
