“Okay! Beibei, you’re so nice!” I took it and gulped it down. After wiping my mouth, I exclaimed, “Wow! Beibei, what soup is this? It’s so delicious!” Beibei smiled innocently and said, “Mengpo Soup!” My face changed dramatically, and I quickly tried to vomit.
Baobao and Beibei said innocently, “Sister Xiao Han, don’t worry! This Mengpo Soup is missing an important ingredient called ‘forgetting’!” I glared at them, “You dare to trick me?!” The two little ghosts screamed and ran away, and I chased after them.
Yu Mo, lying on the ground, was covered in footprints. “Could you walk more carefully and avoid innocent bystanders… T^T”
[Volume Two: Jianghu, Chapter Fifty-Seven: Kongtong Sect.]
We stayed in Shaolin Temple for so many days for nothing. Those monks were truly ignorant! But we can’t blame them entirely; they spent their days ‘practicing singing’ and ‘playing instruments’ and rarely ventured down the mountain. In ancient times, being ignorant was normal.
Alas! Wasted days of eating vegetables and thin porridge! As soon as we went down the mountain, we found a luxurious inn and ordered a table full of meat, eating heartily.
As for who paid, it was obedient Yu Mo. He’s the emperor! The Zhen Ming Kingdom is wealthy, and spending a bit more helps him!
By the way, the branch of the first hall in Zhen Ming Kingdom will open in about half a month. I was unsure if I could find time to cut the ribbon, how frustrating! Blame that idiot Ru. If she hadn’t been showing off, I wouldn’t have been running mountain roads every day, and my poor feet were almost disabled!
After leaving Shaolin Temple, that girl herded us to the Kongtong Sect. But I don’t understand why these sects always build in deep mountains! More mountain roads to climb. Though using lightness skill makes it faster, it’s still exhausting. Halfway up the mountain, I climbed onto Yu Mo’s back again.
The scenery of Kongtong Sect was much prettier than Shaolin Temple. They were more lenient with the vegetarian diet, and the people were very hospitable, serving good food and drink. While the idiot Ru investigated intelligence, I, Baobao, Beibei, and Yu Mo went sightseeing, though we sometimes got lost.
Initially at Kongtong Sect, the Taoist priests loved playing chess. Go and Chinese chess were their specialties. My chess skills are quite good, and I’ve won awards in national competitions. I played several rounds with them, on the condition that they pay if they lose. As a result, I won quite a bit of silver. Now, no one in Kongtong Sect dares to play chess with me.
So stingy! Though Taoist priests aren’t very wealthy. Today, Baobao followed someone to practice martial arts, and Beibei isn’t good at martial arts, so she could only stay with me. Yu Mo and the idiot Ru went to investigate separately, leaving me idle all day.
“Ah! Yu Mo is returning to Zhen Ming Kingdom tomorrow!” I sighed for the Nth time.
“Ah! Dad is coming back from Africa tomorrow!” Beibei cupped her cheeks cutely and sighed, “Sister Xiao Han, it’s so boring here with no ice cream!” I narrowed my eyes, “Why don’t we go back to your home and eat some ice cream?”
Beibei clapped her little hands enthusiastically: “Okay, okay! And we can also mess with Aunt White and Uncle Black Impermanence! But…” Beibei’s tone suddenly became low, “What if Daddy finds out Beibei is going to be locked up?”
I patted Beibei’s head: “It’s okay! Don’t be afraid, because your dad definitely won’t take you away in front of me. If he dares to touch you, I’ll dig out all his secret money and hand it over to your mom! Okay?” “Mm-hmm!” Beibei nodded vigorously.
I took out the jade hairpin, pressed the amethyst, and took little Beibei down in the elevator to the underworld. As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw the terrifying White Impermanence sister floating in front of us with her ‘literary tone’: “Miss Yin! How can you leave the underworld for such a long time~~?”
“I screamed, reflexively kicking White Impermanence sister away and began beating her up, ‘I kick! I stomp! Stomp stomp stomp!’ Little Beibei clapped her hands excitedly, jumping around, ‘Wow! Sister Xiao Han is so awesome! Really awesome!’
We wreaked havoc through the eighteen levels of hell, causing chaos among the ghosts, then ate ice cream and even rode Black and White Impermanence like horses. Later, I learned from Beibei that Meng Po and King Yan, her godfather, had a bad relationship because King Yan never paid Meng Po’s salary, leaving the Bridge of Helplessness cold and desolate.
By the time we returned, it was night. After dinner, Yu was taken away by people from the palace, and Shu Yang was to arrive tomorrow, while Ru still had no news of the Young Master of the Beggar Clan at Kongtong Sect. The next day, we went down the mountain, and Shu Yang was waiting for us at an inn in the town below…
After meeting up with Shu Yang, I tried to use him to create romance, but I would burst into laughter halfway through! I didn’t have the courage to kiss him! Shu Yang always comforted me: ‘It’s okay, you’ll learn slowly.’ Why am I not even as good as two little ghosts! Awoo~~~ (Someone Ling: ‘Another wolf howl… -_-!’)
But for some reason, Baby decided to idolize Lan, the big iceberg, copying his style, while chattering with Beibei about messy love lines he learned from his father. He even said he wanted to be a cool guy like Brother Lan when he grows up. I think he’s just daydreaming!
I patted Baby’s shoulder and said: “Baby, give up. You’ll never become an iceberg like Lan, just like I’ll never become a lady. If we could achieve our goals, it would only be if your mom started to fear your dad.”
Baby tilted his head, innocently asking: “What’s a ‘ripe woman’? Is it a woman cooked by someone?” I almost fell over. Communication with this little ghost is impossible!
According to Ru, we were going to Wudang Sect today. Although I had prepared myself to climb mountain paths, I never expected, “Wow! Is this a mountain?! It’s more like a primitive forest plus Taishan!”
I stared wide-eyed, my finger trembling, pointing at the wilderness before me. The mountain was more treacherous than the Xing’an Mountains! It was so steep and precipitous, with cliffs everywhere, and there was no path!
Lan remained expressionless, Ru pretended to be calm, while Baby and Beibei clapped: “Wow! Such a big mountain!” Shu Yang still wore a gentle smile, “Miss Yang, are you sure someone lives up there?” Yang Ziru nodded, “Yes, if not, I’ll chop off my head for you to make soup.”
I turned to leave: “I’m not doing this!”
“I’d rather stay home and make porridge!” But the foolish girl wouldn’t let me go, dragging me up the mountain. We walked for a long time without seeing any buildings. I roared at Yang Ziru: “Damn it! Are you deliberately messing with us?! Where’s this Wudang Sect?! Chop off your head for me to make soup!”
Yang Ziru looked aggrieved: “It’s really here! It’s just a bit more remote than the sects we’ve been to before.” “A bit?! (╰_╯)” My bones were about to fall apart. We’d been climbing for nearly two hours and still hadn’t found the Wudang Sect.
“Ah!” Baby suddenly shouted, punching his right palm with his left fist, “I just remembered, I got a flying carpet from Aladdin!” Me and the foolish Ru roared in unison: “Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Baby pulled his earlobe, “Woo… I just remembered…”
Result – “Baby, this isn’t a flying carpet, it’s just a big national flag-sized rag!” I looked at the mini flying carpet Baby pulled from his ‘Pampers’ diaper, sweating profusely. Baby looked aggrieved: “But this is all I have…” Yang Ziru wiped her sweat: “Well, we’ll make do…”
