Chapter 262: You are a good person

Seeing the cow's terrified look, everyone felt curious—what was going on now?

And the old man, filled with grief and indignation, recounted what had happened.

Old man, I was originally a villager at the foot of Jin Shan Temple, but ever since this beast came to Jin Shan Temple, one day I saw Big Flower, and then he... he actually did such a thing to Big Flower.

You won't even let a single cow go, huh?

Hearing the old man's words, Juéyuǎn finally couldn't hold back his anger and shouted.

Nonsense, you're slandering me; this lowly monk has never done such a thing.

This is what I, the old man, saw with my own eyes; at that time you were standing behind Big Flower, your pants were off, you............

Shut up.

Juéyuǎn gritted his teeth in anger, and Hong Zun beside him added fuel to the fire.

Tsk tsk, I wouldn't have guessed, you bald donkey, you're playing pretty kinky.

You.......... Hong Zun, this is all your design; you want to slander me.

What does it have to do with me? I don't even know that person; besides, the cow wouldn't lie, right? Look at its eyes—aren't they already saying everything?

Yeah, how could livestock lie? Hearing that, everyone turned to look at the dairy cow; sure enough, the cow wore a terrified expression, fearfully gazing at Juéyuǎn—it really felt as if Juéyuǎn had done something that aroused Tiān nù rén yuàn.

If you want to know why the cow is like this, credit goes to Dàhuáng and Xiao Bai; I don't know how they communicated with the cow, but anyway, it ended up like this.

Absolutely flawless acting.

Upon this, Juéyuǎn felt even more furious; he really hadn't done it—after all, it's just a cow, how could he possibly............

For a moment, everyone's gaze toward Juéyuǎn grew ever stranger; although Juéyuǎn was jumping with rage, he now had the air of being unable to defend himself despite a hundred mouths.

This wasn't over yet; just as Juéyuǎn didn't know how to explain, in the distance, a............ a spirit frog sprite came running over.

In the imperial capital city, a demon beast actually appeared; seeing this, the surrounding ordinary folk were all frightened badly.

A demon............

How could there be demons in this city; hasn't the imperial guard taken action?

Run!

The crowd immediately became agitated, while that spirit frog sprite was clearly heading straight for Juéyuǎn.

Seeing this, Juéyuǎn instinctively felt a bad premonition—no way............

Whatever one fears, it comes; it stopped right before Juéyuǎn, this spirit frog sprite looked at him with a sorrowful face and said.

Juéyuǎn, I've finally found you; you............ how could you do such a thing.

Huh???

For a moment, the people who had been panicking now looked curiously at the spirit frog sprite and Juéyuǎn.

Even Ye Zhangqing was at a loss; his previous plan didn't account for this.

Moreover, this spirit frog sprite isn't it the female spirit frog sprite that was captured earlier?

Suspiciously glancing at Hong Zun, seeing this, Hong Zun curled his lips and said.

This is all an idea that Xu Jie brat came up with.

Then it's no surprise.

Upon hearing that it was Xu Jie's intention, Ye Zhangqing quickly came to terms.

The spirit frog sprite looked at Juéyuǎn with three parts sorrow, three parts anger, three parts unwillingness, and one part reluctance.

Baby, you say, why did you abandon me? Didn't you promise we'd never part?

I gave you my body, yet you left without a word—what does that mean?

I.............

Juéyuǎn's mouth twitched wildly as he looked at the hideous spirit frog sprite; the killing intent in his heart finally erupted fully, and he roared.

You wretched creature, what nonsense are you spouting? Today I, this lowly monk, will take you.

Saying that, he was about to strike; one cannot lay hands on ordinary people, but surely one can strike a demon beast like you?

Damn it, you're a spirit frog sprite; what could this lowly monk possibly have against you?

He thrust out a palm; seeing this, the spirit frog sprite froze—'Wo ri', I'm gonna die............

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Hong Zun intervened to protect it.

Hong Zun.

Seeing this, Juéyuǎn roared, while Hong Zun said indifferently.

What, you're furious and want to kill the frog to silence it?

You're talking nonsense; this lowly monk is subduing demons and eliminating evil.

Ha, subduing demons and eliminating evil? Clearly it's just killing the frog to silence it.

You...........

Earlier, facing Shi Song, Juéyuǎn had the upper hand, but now, up against Hong Zun, he couldn't gain any advantage—instead he was firmly suppressed.

He can't win by argument, nor by tricks; he's no match.

Seeing the many townsfolk whispering around, Juéyuǎn truly wished he could battle Hong Zun for eight hundred rounds.

But seeing Qing Shi and the others nearby, he forcibly suppressed his anger and could not act.

Seeing Juéyuǎn's face flush red with anger, Hong Zun snorted.

To be honest, I really admire you; visiting pleasure quarters is one thing, but you can even cross species—frankly, your tastes are truly heavy.

Hong Zun, don't spout bloody nonsense here.

Tsk tsk, look, you're upset because I hit the sore spot.

You.............

Unable to win by words, the Juéqíng Shītài also silently distanced herself from him, coming to stand beside Shi Song and the others.

Seeing this, Jueyuan knew that staying would only bring humiliation; he coldly glanced at the Dao Yi Sect crowd and then left without a word.

He couldn't stay here out of shame, but he would certainly repay this grudge today.

Watching Jueyuan leave, Hong Zun turned and smiled at Shi Song, who also felt relieved and felt grateful to Hong Zun, tears welling up; he remarked, "Look, at critical moments, you still need to rely on a good junior brother."

Afterward, everyone lost the desire to wander about, mainly because Juéqíng Shītài wanted to go back.

Together they returned to the Huánggōng; along the way, Hong Zun and the others created an opportunity for Shi Song, hanging far behind to let him and the Senior Nun walk ahead.

But these two didn't speak along the way; the Senior Nun remained silent, and Shi Song didn't know what to say.

This made Hong Zun anxious; he waited until they entered the Huánggōng, about to part ways, when the Senior Nun finally spoke.

Hong Zun couldn't help but nod, feeling his efforts weren't wasted, and he didn't eavesdrop, after all this was a matter between the Shī xiōng and the Senior Nun; he stood at a distance waiting.

I thought it was just an ordinary farewell, perhaps making plans to meet again sometime, but actually, the Senior Nun looked at Shi Song and said.

"Shi Song, Fellow Daoist."

"I'm here."

"I know what you're thinking."

"I don't."

"Hehe, actually, Fellow Daoist's affection is appreciated, but I, a poor nun, have always been a member of the Fomen, and I have long seen through worldly love, so.............."

Having said that, Juéqíng Shītài didn't continue, and Shi Song obviously understood her meaning.

For a moment, not knowing how to respond, he stood frozen, his gaze gradually turning red as he looked at the Senior Nun, his eyes full of sorrow.

Seeing Shi Song's appearance, Juéqíng Shītài also felt uneasy, but she could indeed never accept Shi Song, as a member of the Fomen there is no such thing as marriage.

Jueyuan didn't say anything; anyway, Juéqíng Shītài, since entering the Fomen, has always followed its precepts, truly consistent inside and out.

Taking a deep breath, Juéqíng Shītài finally said.

"Shi Song Daoist friend, you are a Hǎo rén, and you will surely meet someone even better, thank you."
