“Miss Bai Yi, please go out with me. The first time I saw you, I felt like I had already fallen in love with you.”
“I dream about you all the time now, Miss Bai Yi. As long as you're willing, your name can be on the house my family just bought.”
… …
Noisy sounds came from outside. Jiang Wen heard this and walked out. Several others curiously followed behind him, wanting to see what was happening.
They saw in the courtyard outside, the visiting worshippers had already formed a circle. In the middle of the crowd, a young man in a suit was holding flowers and proposing to a woman dressed in a ruqun.
The woman was holding a broom, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face: “Young master, please don't disturb Yi Yi's work. If young master continues to block the way, Yi Yi will get angry!”
“As long as you agree to my request, I'll immediately step aside. I definitely won't cause you any more trouble.” The young man said shamelessly.
Jiang Wen, who was watching the show from the side, felt his sleeve being tugged. He looked down and saw Shen Yueshu was crouching under his shoulder, watching the excitement. She turned her face to look at Jiang Wen: “Speaking of which, Abbot Jiang, why are there so many pretty young ladies in your Taoist temple? I've been dazzled these past few days, and I can't choose. Each one is prettier than the big stars on TV. Not only is their skin good, but they also don't have any flaws. They're simply the ideal appearance for girls.”
“They may not be human.” Jiang Wen said faintly.
“Not human? Wait, is it what I think it is?” Shen Yueshu was shocked.
“Think for yourself.”
Jiang Wen was just about to go out to help this white fox out of the predicament, but before he could go over, he saw Bai Jing walking over gracefully, gently parting the crowd and smiling: “Oh, who is it this time that asked a young master to pursue our Yi Yi.”
Jiang Wen: “… … This damned madam-like tone, I should talk to them about it later.”
Thinking that Bai Jing had only returned for a few days and wasn't familiar with the modern situation. Plus, he had said not to harm mortals, so it was no wonder she still maintained the style of the Pleasure Quarter.
It's just that he was, after all, a Taoist temple of the Immortal Sect, and such words and actions were really a bit incongruous.
As for why the demons could speak the language of the present world, for demons, language was not a problem. This kind of talent that came with spiritual enlightenment was something that cultivators couldn't learn. However, cultivators could find another way and use magic to achieve the same effect.
When the young man holding the flowers saw Bai Jing, he was stunned for a moment, then put away the flowers in his hand and looked at Bai Jing in a presentable manner. Just as he was about to say something, Bai Jing blew a breath at him.
The young man immediately looked blank, and walked straight out of the Taoist temple.
The onlookers saw that there was nothing to see, so they dispersed.
A farce was resolved just like that, coming and going quickly.
Bai Jing saw Jiang Wen watching from not far away, and couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.
“You've finally come out of seclusion, benefactor.” Bai Jing walked over and said with a smile.
“Does this kind of thing often happen in the temple?”
“Yes, in just the few days of opening the door to welcome guests, there have already been hundreds of people like this. Everyone wants to pursue our little fox, and everyone is saying unreliable things. Our little foxes are not so easily fooled.” Bai Jing said leisurely.
“You're using demonic magic to bewitch them and then drive them out?”
“That's natural, the benefactor said that we can't hurt people's lives. Otherwise, those annoying guys wouldn't be able to come and go so easily.” Bai Jing said, and also talked about how the day before yesterday, there was a person who was very arrogant. He said that if their little fox didn't obey, he would raze Jingxu Temple to the ground. Bai Jing naturally couldn't stand such an arrogant person, so she couldn't help but bewitch the other party, making him forget these things, and also cast a demonic spell to make this person have wet dreams every day. After tossing and turning for half a month, it would be difficult for his body not to be weak.
“Does benefactor think it's troublesome for me to do this?” Bai Jing asked.
“These are all small matters.” Jiang Wen didn't care about these things. He wanted to be quiet in the present world, but it wasn't for the sake of being quiet that he would compromise without a bottom line. He was just a person who relied on his power, and if he wanted to, he had countless ways to deal with him.
He still had a Sacrificial Nerve Sutra in his hand, and the secret techniques on that scripture were all strange, cruel, and incomparable. Jiang Wen didn't like these things, but he could also learn from them when necessary. Although he was kind and amiable, he wasn't a saint.
“Although I told you not to hurt people, if someone does too much, you can give them some lessons.”
Back in the house, Yan Gongli was still lazily lying on the couch, playing games. Mo Xiang was seriously reading the Taoist scriptures on the side. There wasn't much difference between the language and writing of the two worlds, so she seemed to understand it easily.
Shen Yueshu looked at him and asked curiously again: “You just said that these pretty sisters may not be human, what exactly do you mean?”
“It's just the literal meaning, they are all demons.” Jiang Wen said with a smile. “I saw that they were pitiful, so I took them in to live in the Taoist temple, that's all.”
“So that's how it is.” Shen Yueshu had a look of understanding. She didn't find it strange that there would be monsters, after all, she had seen too many incredible things since she met Jiang Wen.
There were zombies already, so it was normal to have monsters.
“Then, what about her?” Shen Yueshu pointed to Yan Gongli and asked in a low voice. “I always feel that she is an extraordinary person. When I came to find you the past two days, I found that the others in the temple were very respectful to this little girl.”
“Little girl?” Jiang Wen looked at Shen Yueshu with a half-smile.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Shen Yueshu asked uncomfortably.
“This little girl is called Yan Gongli, and her age is even longer than our history, tens of thousands of years. How old are you, that you dare to call the Ancestral Master a little girl.” After Jiang Wen finished speaking, Shen Yueshu didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After he finished drinking a cup of tea, the girl exclaimed in surprise: “What! Tens of thousands of years old!”
“What's so strange about that.” Yan Gongli said calmly. “Tens of thousands of years is nothing, there are those who have lived even longer.”
“…” Shen Yueshu's mind was buzzing. She understood what tens of thousands of years meant.
The time it took for humans to evolve from caves to the current civilization was only tens of thousands of years. This seemingly naive little girl had actually become a living fossil.
“Then, then how should I address her in the future…” Shen Yueshu asked Jiang Wen uneasily.
“You can call her Ancestral Master.” Jiang Wen said with a smile. “She is an encyclopedia, if you can please her, she might teach you some supernatural powers of flying and escaping.”
“I will!” Shen Yueshu looked at Yan Gongli with glowing eyes.
