Liu Yi did have a fear of heights!
He had had it since childhood, and whenever he was up high, he would feel dizzy looking down.
This time was no exception.
He had been so brave when climbing the tree just now, but now that he had to come down, just one look made him feel like his brain went dark, making him want to vomit.
It's so, so scary...
They say going up is easy, but going down is hard...
This principle was also applicable to climbing trees...
Liu Yi felt like he couldn't do it anymore.
"Hey, don't tease me! You're going to cultivate immortality, how can you still be afraid of heights... Hey, hey, what are you doing, why did you let go, hold on tight, Liu Yi!"
Floating beside Liu Yi, the little fox Lin Tong suddenly screamed in shock.
Finally unable to hold on, Liu Yi's arms went soft, and he fell directly from the tree, which was nearly five meters high.
Even as he fell, his right hand still tightly grasped the balloon string.
At that moment, Liu Yi suddenly felt like time had slowed down.
Many things flashed through his mind.
Including the fact that he didn't like doing homework when he was young, was frequently called out by the teacher to his parents, and then came home to be spanked by his father.
There was also the first time Ma Yixuan moved to their upstairs, the way the little girl entered Liu Yi's line of sight while wearing a beautiful yellow dress.
They say that before a person dies, they'll see their whole life.
Could it be that he was really about to kick the bucket?
Oh no!
No way!
He's still a virgin, it would be such a waste to die like this!
Dammit...
Which immortal, please come and bless me, Liu Yi!
If I survive, I guarantee I will burn incense and honor him properly!
But it seems that no immortal or Buddha has responded to Liu Yi's last-minute plea.
However, a beautiful fox demon is reluctant to let Liu Yi die.
"You idiot, fool! You still need this lady to save you! Waaah, my poor magic power..."
The little fox demon cried with distress while swiftly rotating around Liu Yi's falling body.
Suddenly, a faint white light appeared on Liu Yi's back, imperceptible to the naked eye.
With a bang, his body fell to the ground amidst the little girl's scream.
Dust rose, and the dried leaves were blown everywhere.
"Big brother, are you okay? Don't scare Xiaoying!" The little girl was almost in tears.
Falling from such a height, is he still alive?!
Liu Yi gritted his teeth, although the fall was painful, he wasn't seriously injured.
It seems like something softened the impact just now!
This saved him from falling to his death.
Rising amidst the surprised gaze of the little girl, Liu Yi handed over the balloon in his right hand.
"Big brother is fine, here, take your balloon, hold onto it this time."
"Uh..."
The little girl looked at Liu Yi with all sorts of admiration.
"Big brother, you're really a superman, falling from such a high place and being unharmed..."
"It's nothing, really. I've trained in iron butt kungfu," Liu Yi thought, Lin Tong, the little fox, probably saved him.
But why is she so quiet now? Is she mad at me?
"Thank you, big brother! Big brother, you are so amazing, why don't I introduce my sister to you!"
The little girl blinked, then looked at Liu Yi with anticipation.
"If you became Xiaoying's brother-in-law, you could definitely protect her!"
"Uh...let's forget about it... I'm going to be late for class now. I have to go! You wait here for mom to come back!" Suddenly, Liu Yi remembered that he had to go to class and felt a pang of dismay.
Oh no, this time I'm really in trouble.
They say misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, but why am I having such a string of bad luck...?
Is there some cursed spirit on me?
Wait a minute, what got into my right hand clearly was a little fox immortal!
Although she has a bit of a temper, she should be a good fox immortal...
Otherwise, she wouldn't have saved me twice.
"Alright... what's your name then, big brother?"
"I'm Leifeng."
Liu Yi straightened up and said with pride.
"Haha...big brother, you're so funny..."
"Xiaoying!"
At this moment, a woman's voice came from the other side of the woods.
"Oh! Mom is calling me, I have to go find my mom!" The little girl waved at Liu Yi, "Big brother, remember my name, it's Liu Ying!"
With that, she shook her two pigtails and bounced away.
She's quite cute, this little girl.
I wonder what her sister is like... Maybe she'll be really beautiful...
It wouldn't hurt to get to know her...
Oops, got sidetracked. Better hurry to school!
Liu Yi hurried to turn around and start running, but this time he found that no matter how he tried to gather his energy, that exhilarating magical feeling had vanished.
What's going on? Could that Lin Tong girl be stingy and unwilling to lend me her celestial power?
"The Fox Fairy beauty, Fox Fairy sister? What's wrong, are you really mad at me?" Liu Yi hastily inquired.
But Lin Tong seemed to have disappeared into thin air, her coquettish yet slightly fierce voice didn't appear again.
"Well... it seems like she really doesn't want to talk to me..." Liu Yi shook his head, thinking since he was already late, he might as well take it easy and slowly make his way to school.
Yet, a faint, almost inaudible voice rang out from his right hand.
"This... big idiot..."
