Chapter 66: 66 We can catch this right now

66 We can catch this right now.

Severing the Dao, severing the Dao, cutting off all parts of oneself that contradict the Dao in cultivation.

Like severing the mundane, obsession, emotion, desire, and weakness.

Finally, only the Dao-heart remains.

Severing the Dao is a path open to all beings in the Three Realms, yet not something ordinary people can cultivate.

As long as one cultivates Severing the Dao, even a minor accomplishment enables one to single-handedly take on half of the metaphysical world.

So when Bai Yu heard the stone spirit say he cultivated Severing the Dao, that's why he was so shocked.

But Tushan Jiu gave him a white look: "Where's your brain? Who cultivates Severing the Dao and still pretends to be a City God, going to deceive incense and faith power?"

"Ah?" Bai Yu blinked, then after thinking carefully, realized it was indeed so.

He embarrassingly reached up and rubbed his nose, "Well, you're right, my brain might have been left at my hometown and I forgot to bring it back; tomorrow I'll have someone express-deliver it to me, hehe."

The implication is, he's grown a brain, he just forgot to bring it when going out.

"..." Tushan Jiu was utterly speechless.

She looked at Sun Ying and asked, "Did Bai Yu tell you my rules?"

Sun Ying nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, you're a credit-knife person; one needs to owe a knife from you, and after the matter is settled, you'll collect payment."

"Fine, knowing is good, saves me from explaining." Tushan Jiu took out a pair of scissors, placed it on the table, pushed it toward Sun Ying: "The transaction is preliminarily agreed."

Bai Yu glanced at the scissors and instinctively shrank his neck.

After passing through the credit-knife person's hand, that ordinary pair of scissors has a layer of exclusive spiritual power attached; ordinary people can't see it, thinking it's just a regular tool, but he is a monster, and his perception of the spiritual power of mystic masters is especially sensitive.

Actually, Tushan Jiu originally wanted to take a nail clipper.

But when she opened the luggage case holding the blades, she found the nail clippers were almost gone, and she had forgotten to restock.

So she casually grabbed a pair of scissors that were more plentiful, thinking she'd go to the supermarket later to stock up.

However, Sun Ying didn't understand these things; he grabbed the scissors in one hand, "Mm-hmm, achieved, achieved."

He somewhat impatiently asked Tushan Jiu, "When are we going to catch the Stone?"

Just as Sun Ying's words fell, the waiter who came over to ask when they'd order, smiling, interjected: "Sir, you don't need to spend money to catch the Stone; we can catch it right here, this service is free!"

The three of them simultaneously looked at the waiter.

Bai Yu's face full of question marks, he almost in unison with Sun Ying asked: "You can catch it here too?"

Tushan Jiu frowned, eyes widened.

Is this coming to steal her business?

But she couldn't tell.

Seeing the three so surprised, the waiter also couldn't help but feel dazed.

She turned back and pointed to the few claw machines at the entrance.

"Yeah, our store can also catch the Stone Goddess; as long as you eat in the store, you can exchange for game coins at the front desk, free to catch. I'm just reminding you, there's no need to go outside and spend money to catch; our store's claws aren't loosened, they're easier to catch than outside."

Tushan Jiu, Bai Yu, Sun Ying: "..."

What a beautiful misunderstanding.

The waiter stared at Bai Yu for two glances, then looked away.

Uncertain, then stole another two glances.

She hesitated and spoke: "Are you......"

Bai Yu hurriedly interrupted: "I'm not you mistaking me, aren't you here to order? Bring me two menus, order now!"

That waiter seemed to have discovered a earth-shattering secret, covered her mouth with her hand, then excitedly stomped her feet twice: "Okay, okay, I'll go get them right now."

After saying that, she ran out of the partition.

This barbecue restaurant's privacy is also pretty good, everything is separated by partitions.

Mainly, Bai Yu asked Tushan Jiu what she wanted to eat, and Tushan Jiu said she wanted meat.

So he then chose this relatively authentic Qicheng Barbecue.

Only then did Tushan Jiu notice Bai Yu's attire today, which was pretty much the same as when she first saw him, fully equipped.

"Do you celebrities all suffer this much when going out?"

Bai Yu shrugged: "I'm used to it, otherwise I'd constantly be stalked by paparazzi."

While saying that, he also felt hot, so he took off his mask and hat.

Anyway, he's already been recognized.

That waiter's interruption just diverted the question Sun Ying had just asked.

First eat, Tushan Jiu was hungry.

Heaven and earth are vast, but for her, eating is the greatest.

And Sun Ying, seeing them so calm, naturally felt like he'd found his mainstay, and also began to eat quietly.

That waiter was still fairly high-quality, didn't spread the news that Bai Yu was eating here.

Otherwise, given Bai Yu's fame, if they wanted to eat this meal in peace, that would definitely be impossible.

After eating and drinking their fill, Tushan Jiu again spoke to Sun Ying: "When you go back tonight, if he comes looking for you, pretend to be scared by him, then say you agreed to have eyes carved onto that City God statue, and make an appointment for him to bring that City God statue to your place tomorrow."

She paused, then asked Sun Ying: "Do you have any taboos? If you're afraid, you can also not make the appointment at your home; you can make it at Bai Yu's home instead."

Innocently caught in the crossfire, Bai Yu: "..."

Sun Ying hurriedly shook his head: "No need, no need, just make the appointment at my home; as long as he never comes looking for me again, I'm not afraid!"

Tushan Jiu nodded with a relieved expression: "Fine, you're a real man, then you can go back."

Sun Ying: "That's it?"

Won't she give him some talisman paper or something?

Tushan Jiu was about to leave, but just as she was about to get up, she heard him ask the question, 'Well, nothing left. Is there a problem?'

Sun Ying chuckled and smiled, 'No problem, no problem.'

Tushan Jiu glanced at him twice, then realized what he was worried about, 'You don't need to worry about those; when the time comes I'll go myself and won't give you those things—they're too much trouble.'

She still had to go catch spirit monsters to give Grandpa Xie and the others a tonic.

By then she'll already be there—what's the point of those 'tools'? Of course it's faster to catch them barehanded.

But then she remembered something—perfect timing to collect his bill as well.

After all, the balance in that ledger is due to be filled.

Making another one would be a real hassle; she really doesn't feel like moving, let alone keeping track.

Suddenly, Tushan Jiu had a bright idea—a good way to not forget to collect the bill.

But that won't work yet; she still needs to wait a bit longer.

Because she and Xie Shiyu aren't married yet, he still can't touch her ledger.

But that's fine—once they get their certificate next year, he'll be able to.

A mischievous glint flashed in Tushan Jiu's eyes.

She's absolutely brilliant!

That way, although she can't be a completely hands-off manager, someone can remind her to settle the accounts, so she doesn't have to rack her brain to remember.

Little did she know, when that day came she would toss the ledger to Xie Shiyu, who then, right in front of her, pulled out his phone, opened the calendar, and set alarms one by one according to the times the prophecies would come true.

Of course, that's a story for another time.
