Chapter 481

"I am but a villager from the foot of Jin Shansi, but ever since this beast came to Jin Shansi, one day I saw Big Flower, and after that, he actually... he actually did that kind of thing to Big Flower."

"You won't even spare a cow."

Hearing the old man's words, Master Jueyuan finally could not help but explode in rage.

"Nonsense, this is slander; I have never done such a thing."

"I saw it with my own eyes. You were standing right behind Big Flower, your pants were already down, and you..."

"Shut up."

Master Jueyuan was so angry he gritted his teeth, and Hong Zun, standing to the side, added fuel to the fire.

"Tsk tsk, I couldn't tell, you bald donkey, you have quite the perverted taste."

"You... Hong Zun, this was all designed by you; you want to slander me."

"What does that have to do with me? I don't even know the person, and besides, this cow wouldn't lie, would it? Look at its eyes; haven't they already explained everything?"

Indeed, how could a beast lie? Hearing this, everyone looked at the big cow. They saw the big cow was indeed looking at Master Jueyuan with a face full of terror and fear, a feeling that truly suggested Master Jueyuan had done something to it that angered both heaven and man.

As for why this cow was like this, it had to be credited to Da Huang and Xiaobai. No one knew how they communicated with the big cow, but regardless, it ended up like this.

Absolute full-marks acting.

Regarding this, Master Jueyuan felt his anger burning even more. He really hadn't done it; that was a cow, for heaven's sake! How could he possibly...

For a moment, the expressions of everyone looking at Master Jueyuan became increasingly strange, and even though Master Jueyuan was so angry he was stomping his feet, he found himself in a position where he couldn't clear his name.

This wasn't the end of it. Just as Master Jueyuan didn't know how to explain, in the distance, a... a Spirit Frog Demon ran over.

In this Imperial Capital, a demon beast had actually appeared. Seeing this, the ordinary commoners all around were quite frightened.

"A monster..."

"How could there be a monster in the city? Did the Imperial Guard not take action?"

"Run!"

The crowd became restless, and that Spirit Frog Demon looked like it was heading straight for Master Jueyuan.

Seeing this, Master Jueyuan instinctively felt a bad premonition. It couldn't be...

But whatever he feared, it happened. It stopped directly in front of Master Jueyuan, and this Spirit Frog Demon looked at him with a face full of sorrow and said.

"Master Jueyuan, I have finally found you. You... how could you do such a thing?"

Huh???

For a moment, the crowd, who had been trembling with fear, looked curiously at the Spirit Frog Demon and Master Jueyuan again.

Even Ye Changqing was confused; the previous plan didn't seem to include this part.

Moreover, wasn't this Spirit Frog Demon the female one that had been captured earlier?

He looked suspiciously at Hong Zun, and seeing this, Hong Zun curled his lip and said.

"This was all an idea thought up by that kid Xu Jie."

"That's not surprising then."

Hearing it was Xu Jie's idea, Ye Changqing was quickly relieved.

The Spirit Frog Demon looked at Master Jueyuan with three parts sorrow, three parts anger, three parts unwillingness, and one part lingering affection.

"Baby, tell me, why did you abandon me? Didn't we say we would never be apart?"

"I gave my body to you, and you left without even saying a word. What is the meaning of this?"

I...

Master Jueyuan's mouth twitched wildly. Looking at the terrifying-looking Spirit Frog Demon, the killing intent in his heart finally erupted completely, and he roared.

"Evil creature, what nonsense are you spouting? This old monk will take care of you today."

As he spoke, he was about to strike. He couldn't strike at ordinary people, but surely he could strike at a demon beast, right?

Damn it, you're a Spirit Frog Demon; what kind of thoughts would I have about you?

He struck out with a palm, and seeing this, the Spirit Frog Demon was stunned. Holy crap, I'm going to die...

Fortunately, at the last moment, Hong Zun took action to protect it.

"Hong Zun."

Seeing this, Master Jueyuan roared, while Hong Zun said nonchalantly.

"What, flustered and exasperated, wanting to kill the frog to silence it?"

"You're spouting nonsense; this monk is subduing demons and eliminating monsters."

"Heh, subduing demons and eliminating monsters? It's clearly killing a frog to silence it."

"You..."

Previously, facing Shi Song, Master Jueyuan had the upper hand, but now that it was Hong Zun, he couldn't gain any advantage at all and was instead firmly suppressed.

He couldn't win in an argument, and when it came to playing dirty, he was no match either.

Watching the surrounding commoners whispering, Master Jueyuan really wished he could fight Hong Zun for eight hundred rounds.

But seeing Qingshi and the others nearby, he forcibly suppressed his anger; he couldn't make a move.

Seeing Master Jueyuan's old face flushed with anger, Hong Zun sneered.

"To be honest, I really admire you. Visiting brothels is one thing, but you can even cross species. Honestly, your taste is truly heavy."

"Hong Zun, stop spouting blood here."

"Tsk tsk, look, I hit a sore spot, and now you're anxious."

"You..."

He couldn't win the argument, and Abbess Jueqing also silently distanced herself from him and came to the side of Shi Song and the others.

Seeing this, Master Jueyuan knew that staying here any longer would only be self-humiliation. He looked coldly at the Dao-One Sect members and then left without a word.

He had no face to stay here any longer, but he would definitely take revenge for today's grudge.

Watching Master Jueyuan leave, Hong Zun turned to smile at Shi Song, and Shi Song felt relieved and was simultaneously filled with gratitude toward Hong Zun. Look, in critical moments, you still have to rely on a good Junior Brother.

Afterward, the group had no intention of wandering around, mainly because Abbess Jueqing wanted to go back.

They returned to the Imperial Palace together. Along the way, Hong Zun and the others created an opportunity for Shi Song, trailing far behind to let him and the Abbess walk in front.

But these two didn't speak a word the whole way; the Abbess didn't speak, and Shi Song didn't know what to say.

This made Hong Zun extremely anxious. It wasn't until they entered the palace and were about to part ways that the Abbess finally spoke.

Hong Zun couldn't help but nod; it wasn't in vain that he had worried so much. He didn't go to eavesdrop, as this was a matter between the Senior Brother and the Abbess, so he stood in the distance and waited.

He had thought it would be a normal farewell, perhaps making an appointment to meet again, but in reality, the Abbess looked at Shi Song and said.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Song."

"I am here."

"I know your intentions."

"I don't have any."

"Hehe, actually, I am honored by your affection, but I have always been a person of the Buddhist faith, and I have long since seen through the feelings between men and women, so..."

Having said this, Abbess Jueqing did not continue, and Shi Song clearly understood her meaning.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. He stood frozen on the spot, his eyes gradually turning red as he looked at the Abbess, filled with sorrow.

Looking at Shi Song's appearance, Abbess Jueqing didn't feel good either, but it was truly impossible for her to accept Shi Song. How could there be any talk of marriage for someone in the Buddhist faith?

Not to mention Master Jueyuan, but ever since Abbess Jueqing entered the Buddhist faith, she had always followed the Buddhist precepts; she was truly consistent in word and deed.

Taking a deep breath, Abbess Jueqing finally said.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Song, you are a good person, and you will definitely meet someone better. Thank you."
