Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Enchanting Little Fox Monster vs. Justice-Obsessed Female Taoist (Part 17)
When Gu Shengyin emerged from her brief seclusion, ten whole days had passed.
She opened the courtyard gate, and Yun Shu was the first to rush over.
She looked at Qing Bo; Qing Bo was still as beautiful as ever, but that uncontrollable feeling that arose at first sight was gone.
Bodhi Nanny hadn’t expected her to come out so soon; she originally thought this process would take Gu Shengyin at least a month.
Could it truly be the Nine-Tailed White Fox? Such a staggering talent?
Gu Shengyin felt as though she had just sat for a moment, yet ten days had slipped by; the passage of time was surprisingly swift and a bit frightening.
She now very much wanted to see Yuan Xiu.
I haven’t gone to him for ten days; would he be worried?
No, they are Buddhist cultivators and naturally indifferent; perhaps he might not even remember me?
After pondering for a moment, Gu Shengyin said something to Yun Shu and Bodhi Nanny, then turned back into a Little White Fox and set out along the familiar path.
Yun Shu saw nothing amiss, but Bodhi Nanny was taken aback to hear Gu Shengyin was going to the Lotus Platform Sect to find a young monk.
She had deep ties with the Lotus Platform Sect and was practically a protector figure there, thus well-informed about many matters. Newest update provided by novel-fire.net
For instance, Master Jing Ming’s disciple, Yuan Xiu, never shaved his head because his ties of affection were not pure.
Now, with a shape-shifting Nine-Tailed White Fox rushing into the Lotus Platform Sect, she couldn’t help but ponder deeply.
Qing Bo, with that appearance, could even a naturally emotionless and desireless Buddhist Disciple remain unaffected?
She stood there in silent contemplation for a long moment and finally sighed: It’s all destined fate; what use is there in thinking so much about it?
Yuan Xiu was meditating in his room.
The wooden fish clacked rhythmically, yet his heart was not as calm as usual.
Ten days it had been.
Today was the eleventh day.
The little fox benefactor had not appeared outside his door for a full ten days.
That day, because of his own inner turmoil, he sent the little fox benefactor away.
Monsters are all spiritually perceptive, so did the little fox benefactor get angry?
Was she angry and therefore… unwilling to interact with him?
Will she, henceforth, never come again?
The steady rhythm of the wooden fish in the room suddenly faltered, much like Yuan Xiu’s heart, which was usually immaculate.
“Tap, tap, tap.” Suddenly, the door was knocked a few times.
The sound of the wooden fish ceased.
Yuan Xiu recognized that sound; a disciple from the sect wouldn’t knock like that.
He slowly turned his head and just as the door opened a crack, a familiar white fluff squeezed through.
When Gu Shengyin looked up, she saw the smile on Yuan Xiu’s face.
It was like a gentle breeze rippling across green water, creating a circle of tender ripples.
“Little fox benefactor, you’ve come.”
As if those ten days had never happened, Yuan Xiu greeted her with a smile, just as he did each time Gu Shengyin appeared.
He knew she was called Qing Bo, but he always preferred to call her little fox benefactor.
“Little monk, I’m much older than you. Show some respect.” Gu Shengyin chided softly.
That clear, sweet, and crisp voice made Yuan Xiu pause; he took a careful look at Gu Shengyin: “Little fox benefactor, congratulations.”
Gu Shengyin huffed: “I told you my name is Qing Bo, don’t call me little fox.”
Yuan Xiu smoothly obliged: “Benefactor Qing Bo, this humble monk’s Dharma name is Yuan Xiu.” So, don’t call him little monk either.
Gu Shengyin understood his meaning. Watching him still absorbed in Buddhist scriptures, she walked to his side, leaping gently onto him.
This time, Yuan Xiu’s body stiffened for a moment.
