Gu Shengyin and Yuan Xiu strolled hand in hand, enjoying this Moon Festival lantern fair.
The only discordant part was that in the latter half, Gu Shengyin appeared in human form, causing quite a stir in Lotus City.
Cultivators are generally more attractive than mortals. Even someone originally plain-looking becomes fair after purging impurities through cultivation and reshaping the root bone during the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, even among the beauties of the True Cultivation World, the allure of Gu Shengyin’s current body deserved the title of the most beautiful.
Although Yuan Xiu was composed by nature, seeing countless people coveting his newly confessed lover, he still felt a bit helpless.
He pulled Gu Shengyin aside: "Qing Bo, why don’t you revert to your original form?" After some insistence from Gu Shengyin, he finally dropped the term of ’benefactor’.
Gu Shengyin deliberately asked, "Why?"
Yuan Xiu, knowing her little scheme, admitted in agreement with her intention, "Too many people are coveting Qing Bo, I’m afraid the Buddhist tranquility I’ve cultivated over the years might fail."
Gu Shengyin burst into laughter. A beauty, no matter the action, remains beautiful, and even more so with such a joyful smile.
Yuan Xiu watched her quietly, pondering inwardly that he might need to cultivate even more diligently in the future.
With such a beauty by his side, it’s imaginable that there won’t be a shortage of eager admirers.
Without sufficient strength, he couldn’t protect her.
Ultimately, Gu Shengyin transformed back into her white fox form and was escorted back to the small courtyard by Yuan Xiu.
"Qing Bo is living with Bodhi Nanny?" Yuan Xiu asked in surprise.
Gu Shengyin wasn’t surprised that he knew Bodhi Nanny and nodded.
Since it was Bodhi Nanny, Yuan Xiu decided to pay a visit. He had grown up in the Lotus Platform Sect and was familiar with this Bodhi Nanny.
"Yuan Xiu?" As expected, Bodhi Nanny was quite surprised to see Yuan Xiu.
Gu Shengyin transformed back into her human form upon returning to the courtyard.
Seeing the familiarity between Yuan Xiu and Bodhi Nanny, she took Yun Shu into the room, leaving space for the two to talk.
Given Bodhi Nanny’s vast experience, she instantly understood the situation between the two.
It turns out that Yuan Xiu’s romantic destiny was fulfilled in Qing Bo.
She had always known this would happen, and now that it had come to pass, she felt a sense of peace, though she felt a slight sense of regret for Yuan Xiu.
She came from the Lotus Platform Sect and, though she had since established her own domain, she still considered herself half a protector of the Lotus Platform Sect, naturally hoping for its prosperity.
Yuan Xiu’s aptitude was the best she had seen among all the Buddhism disciples over the years. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveIＦire.net
She had no doubt that if Yuan Xiu devoted himself entirely to Buddhist studies, his achievements would surpass all the mages of the Lotus Platform Sect.
But the Lotus Platform Sect emphasized the law of destiny and avoided forcibly intervening, leaving her unable to interfere.
Yet, Bodhi Nanny came to an understanding: this is what makes the Lotus Platform Sect. If it were like other Buddhist sects, competing for resources for profit, what difference would it have from any ordinary sect? Then, what would justify calling it the Lotus Platform Sect?
She looked at Yuan Xiu lovingly: "I know about your situation and won’t say much about it. I only hope you find the right person and follow your heart for a joyful life."
Yuan Xiu put his palms together and bowed to Bodhi Nanny: "Yuan Xiu understands, she is my destined one. Thank you, Nanny, for your blessing."
By the time Gu Shengyin came out, Yuan Xiu had already left the courtyard.
