Ye Uncle, carrying a cross: Ami tofu (Amitabha), good and virtuous, but… you should think about your husband! What if that dream comes true? Stay or not stay? You can’t make a decision without thinking clearly! This is wrong! Even if it doesn’t harm you, an innocent little snow lotus would be picked. How evil! Especially when considering what your child might ask later: Where’s my dad? How will you answer? Tell him your dad died saving your mom? What a sin, ah~ Ami tofu!
Sa Uncle, wearing a designer suit and holding a cigar: Life is short; it passes in the blink of an eye. Enjoy life while you can. Youth is for being wild, and you should experience beauty while you’re young, as you won’t be able to later!
I kept nodding. Both made sense, but I don’t believe in Buddhism, Taoism, or Christianity! I believe in the Sun and Moon Cult! Ha ha, in heaven and earth, only I am supreme! As a loving intellectual youth, how can I watch this weak child be bullied? The righteous me will stand up! But I’ll only shelter, not be wild; I’m very proper! First, cultivate some feelings and then… hehe
“Well…
Since you’re so sincere in begging me, I’ll show some humanitarian spirit and mercifully shelter you! Ha, ha, ha!” I suddenly felt heroic, laughing triumphantly to the sky.
“Ah! Thank you!” Yi Qing looked up joyfully, her big eyes misty with tears, appearing pitiful.
My heart moved: “How did you end up being captured and sold? Damn it! Don’t ever mention that Jin Mo kid to me again!” I slammed the table heavily. “Alright, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat!”
“What? You’re 18? Who are you kidding?” I stared at Yi Qing skeptically. How could this child lie? Didn’t his mother teach him that lying is wrong? We must be well-educated youth and good citizens!
“I, I didn’t… I’m really eighteen!” Yi Qing looked flustered under my gaze.
But he seemed no more than fifteen or sixteen. I quickly activated my memory search engine, trying to verify his age. I grinned wickedly: “How about we cut and count the rings!”
Bang—three men collapsed simultaneously. Yi Qing’s face turned red, seemingly afraid I might actually cut him, quickly covering his groin, stammering: “I, I really didn’t lie.”
Wu Chen, unable to bear the harassment of an innocent beauty, intervened: “Just nutritional imbalance.”
Oh? I recalled his story of domestic abuse.
So it was true. I no longer doubted his background. Sighing softly, I sat beside him, grasping his rough hand and gently pressing the calluses, imagining the hardships he’d endured at home—no wonder he ran away.
Thinking of my own childhood, showered with love, I felt compassion: “It’s okay, you have me now. Join my Herbal Gathering Sect, led by me, Sect Master Flower Xiao Xin, towards a brighter future! Applause!”
Infected by the room’s laughter, Yi Qing also began to smile, like a lily blooming in the wilderness. Poor little flower, unknowingly picked by some people. But many years later, he would laugh holding his baby, saying this was the best thing he’d done in his life.
“Someone’s here,” Xiao Zi put down his bowl, calmly wiping his mouth.
“They don’t come with good intentions,” Feng Qing paused, continuing to pick up dishes.
“Sect Master Flower, long time no see?” An uninvited guest arrived, led by senior Iron Book.
“Oh? What’s wrong?” Iron Book was surprised. How could such a powerful sect master have troubles?
“My beauty ran away, I’m heartbroken…” I was so frustrated! I hadn’t even seen his true face!
Damn it, what a scam! Deceiving my fragile emotions!
Straightening my clothes, I performed a gorgeous 720-degree spin, leaned my arm on Tie Shushu’s shoulder, threw him a flirtatious glance, and exhaled a delicate breath, causing him slight embarrassment.
Bang!
Tie Shushu slowly slid down the wall, covering his chest, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
“You’re cheating! He attacked me secretly!” the burly man pointed at the pale-faced Xiao Zizi.
“Did I say others couldn’t make a move? You were all present. Did we collude? No way! Senior Tie Shushu, you must admit defeat!” I laughed wickedly.
Tie Shushu smiled bitterly, realizing he had miscalculated this move. However, this purple-clothed person’s martial arts were extraordinary. He nodded: “Please.”
“Senior Tie!” the burly man grew anxious.
“It’s fine. I won’t truly harm him,” Tie Shushu waved his hand to silence him.
I darted forward and handed him a large tonic pill: “Eat this, and you might gain some internal energy. Tell your master that Hua Xiaosin will visit in half a month!” This way, he wouldn’t consider his mission a failure.
Casting a grateful glance at Tie Shushu, I shrugged and embraced the handsome men: “Darlings, let’s go!”
“We’ll reach Tiandu Mountain in two days,” Xiao Zizi said as he sat down and rummaged through the dry rations.
Now I understand the meaning of “white sand in Nie, black with it.” Xiao Zizi, who was once so particular about cleanliness, now sits casually without even wiping first.
“Meow—” A miserable cry startled us, especially Xiao Zizi, who jumped up, wide-eyed, looking toward the sound source—his previous “stool.”
The gray piece of wood moved, then jumped up, bristling all its fur, tail raised, performing a lion’s roar—or rather a cat’s roar—with its bloody mouth open: “Meow—”
“Just a fearless cat,” Xiao Zizi revealed his habitual smile, making me tremble with fear. Another being, oh, a cat, was about to meet a bloody disaster!
“Wait!” I quickly stopped him. Crouching down, I offered my sweetest smile: “Hello, Erlang Cat! Long time no see!” I touched the faint purple fur circle on its forehead.
The small cat’s anger subsided under my 5000-damage smile, and then it let out a fierce “Meow” and pounced.
“Slap!” I brushed it away, watching it slide down from the temple’s pillar, laughing. Fighting a small cat is so easy, hehehe~
The Erlang Cat clearly remembered me, recalling its former “camp queen,” yet somehow harbored strong hostility towards me. Even stranger, I sensed pure anger and a hint of jealousy in its eyes. Could I be mistaken?
“Ah—catch it! Catch it!”
“This rascal managed to twist and break free when I wasn’t paying attention!
So, five people and one cat began a struggle. The Erlang Cat cleverly found a breakthrough: Wuchen and Yiqing were slower! It seized the opportunity—when Wuchen moved to the doorway, it pounced! Breaking through the defense meant escaping these creatures!
I quickly discovered its intentions. However, meeting an old acquaintance made me feel good, so I played along. Just as it leaped, I teleported to the door and kicked it shut.
“Bang!” “Bang!—Squeak—”
The first bang was the temple door slamming, the second was the cat crashing, and the final squeak was its claws scratching the door as it slid down.
“Trying to fight me? Stupid!” I picked up the Erlang Cat, looking it in the eyes.
The poor Erlang Cat, its eyes spinning, could only nod involuntarily as I shook it.
“Okay, let’s rest and continue our journey.” I found a rope and tied the little fellow to my waist belt. In my previous life, you imprisoned me and made me your wife. Now that I’m human, if I don’t mess with you, you’d think you could forcibly take cats without paying taxes!
Interestingly, this Erlang Cat was clever and lazy. After realizing I could teleport, it no longer seemed intent on fighting, instead completely fawning and pleading.”
The entire afternoon, it clung to my waist belt, its tail wagging enthusiastically!
Turning an enemy into a servant—isn’t this the highest form of revenge? I was quite satisfied with its response and no longer held grudges about past events.
But sometimes, who knows? Heaven has unpredictable winds, and no undefeated general exists; no one can always maintain the upper hand.
Now was the perfect proof.
