Chapter 109

Hahaha.

Hehehehe.

Ten minutes later, the Xue couple stood before Tang Luo, their smiles extremely awkward.

Xue Nianzhi sat beside them, wishing she could bury her face in the table.

It turned out her parents had been completely honest with each other long ago, and they didn't know how many times they had rehearsed the "Legend of the White Snake" plot.

Today, with this situation, the drama queen's power fully erupted, and she simply couldn't stop.

Only she was kept in the dark, knowing nothing, while her parents were truly in love, and she was merely an accident.

"So you don't know anything about any demon clan news either?" Tang Luo asked.

"Mm." Xue's mother nodded; what she knew was no more than what her daughter knew.

"Well, let's just continue living." Tang Luo stood up; encountering these two little foxes was merely a coincidence.

Gaining something would be good; if not, he wouldn't feel disappointed either.

"As for the lease renewal, I'll think about it after a while." Tang Luo said to Xue Nianzhi.

Xue Nianzhi nodded; she had no thoughts left about renewing the lease. Heaven only knows if this white-haired monk is playing hard to get?

"Let's go." Tang Luo said to the Heavenly Hound.

The Heavenly Hound climbed down from Xue Nianzhi's head, jumped onto Tang Luo's shoulder, and even meowed at Xue Nianzhi.

Satisfied with this temporary mount, Xue Nianzhi's body trembled from fright.

"Um, Master, would you like to stay for a meal?" Seeing that Tang Luo seemed harmless, Xue's mother's heart stirred again.

"Mom!" Xue Nianzhi immediately blocked her, you have no idea how terrifying that cat is!

"Oh, oh, then Master, come play when you have time later." Xue's mother said.

"Okay." Tang Luo chuckled, opened the door, and walked out.

Downstairs, he looked up and saw Xue's mother waving at him, seeing him off.

Tang Luo also stretched out his hand, gestured, and then left.

Only after seeing Tang Luo completely disappear from view did Xue's mother turn around, and the first thing she did after turning was to shut all doors and windows tightly and draw the curtains.

"Mom?" Xue Nianzhi saw her mother's action and felt puzzled.

"Where did you meet this person?" Xue's mother and father's faces were both very solemn.

Xue Nianzhi froze, then laid out everything between her and Tang Luo.

"Just a coincidence?" Xue's father frowned.

"Perhaps, but we can't rely on luck." Xue's mother said.

"You—"

"Silly girl, do you really think your mom and dad are drama queens? If we didn't act crazy and foolish, how could we have fooled him?" Xue's mother rubbed Xue Nianzhi's head.

The moment they came in, she sensed something was off.

The problem wasn't with Tang Luo, but with the cat on her daughter's head.

A faint yet terrifying aura hadn't fully dissipated, making Xue's mother realize this cat was an extremely terrifying existence.

Her husband had indeed just happened to come home, and the "Legend of the White Snake" was their mutual understanding.

At last, they had managed to fool that dangerous monk with the cat.

"So, you're deceiving him?" Xue Nianzhi asked.

The parents' acting skills were too strong; even she, as their daughter, could see no flaw or loophole.

"Not entirely." Xue's mother sighed, "I know other demons exist in the world, but they are very dangerous and not like us."

"I see." Xue Nianzhi whispered.

"We just want to live a peaceful life, don't think about it—we should leave this place." Xue's mother said.

"Now?" Xue Nianzhi froze.

Xue's mother shook her head: "Of course not; who knows if they're still watching us? Moving now would be like inviting trouble. Better to wait a year or two, best if you find a husband from elsewhere, marry out, and then we can openly—"

"Even now you're still pushing marriage?" Xue Nianzhi felt, maybe not all of it was acting before, but the marriage pressure was genuine!

"Help me out."

Walking home, Tang Luo dialed Qin Menglan's phone.

"What's up?" Qin Menglan asked.

"Help me watch a family; if they show any abnormal behavior, contact me immediately, and make sure they don't notice—can you do that?" Tang Luo asked.

"Ordinary people?" Qin Menglan asked.

"No, they're fox spirits." Tang Luo laughed.

"Huh? You're not joking, are you?"

Tang Luo said: "Of course not, just two little fox spirits, slightly stronger than ordinary people."

"Do fox spirits really exist?" Qin Menglan asked. She was referring to the real world.

In the mission world, needless to say, not to mention fox spirits—any kind of spirit could appear.

But in the real world, Qin Menglan had killed entities similar to "ghosts," yet had never known of things like "fairies" existing.

"They do." Tang Luo said.

"Why don't I come myself? I just took extended leave?" Qin Menglan said enthusiastically, "How long should I watch?"

"A few months, I'm not sure either." Tang Luo said, "You took leave?"

"Yeah, sometimes you need to keep a low profile." Qin Menglan said, being active too long and knowing too much isn't good either—even bank staff have mandatory leave.

"Good, come before the next mission, I'll give you an initiation, medium scale, can last about seven days." Tang Luo said, can't let people work for nothing.

What is a medium-scale initiation.

When he was fighting the Thirteen, he gave them full medical treatment.

Not just barely keeping them alive for a period of time at the beginning.

If Qin Menglan suffers severe injury, even death, as long as she doesn't die too excessively—such as turning directly to ashes—it will trigger the "Illumination Secret Technique" to perform perfect healing.

"Then it's settled." Qin Menglan said.

Over a month later.

"That Xue Nianzhi is nothing unusual—she opens her shop normally every day, just often wears a worried frown. I've already become a VIP customer at her shop. But for now I don't plan to have further contact with her, after all, only this much time has passed." In Tang Luo's home, Qin Menglan said.

As a wealthy person, she has very high execution ability.

On the third day after hanging up the phone with Tang Luo, she directly moved to this city, temporarily setting aside her work approaching science, becoming a leisurely watcher.

Although not quite qualified, Tang Luo doesn't mind, as long as he confirms those two little foxes haven't suffered anything major and he just happened to miss it.

"No need to specially come report if there's nothing." Boss Tang Luo said small matters shouldn't disturb her.

"Just right for you to give me illumination." Qin Menglan said, "I'm about to start my mission."

She checked the time—there was still half an hour until the mission began.

Tang Luo's illumination has always been fast; he'll definitely make it in time.

"... Are you sure?" Tang Luo asked.

"Yeah——" Qin Menglan thought of something, surprised, "Could it be that you're also...?"

Tang Luo nodded—he had received news the day before that today he would carry out his fifth mission.

"Looks like we're on the same mission, huh." Tang Luo said, "Could it be you're dressed in outdoor training gear?"

"Not exactly one hundred percent." Qin Menglan said, also possibly the two of them just happened to enter different missions at the same time.

"Let's do the illumination first." Tang Luo said, while unzipping his jacket and standing up.

"What are you doing!" Qin Menglan said, "You're not trying to learn Zhang Wuji, are you?"

Zhang Wuji, the Ming Cult leader in 《The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber》, he treats men's injuries completely without removing clothes, just applying through the garments.

But when treating a girl's injuries, the other party must definitely take off clothes, otherwise it will affect the effect.

Very "manly".

You say martial arts this thing, it's truly miraculous, huh.

Could Tang Luo's illumination be like this person—no, is it this kind of miraculous skill?

"What are you thinking about? Illumination's already done, I need to change into the dungeon gear." Tang Luo said, "Or should the poor monk give you a conversion, purify your spirit?"

"Get lost!" Qin Menglan said, "Does your illumination need to glow?"

"Glowing is for advertising needs." Tang Luo walked toward the bedroom saying.

Illumination can of course be silent and soundless; glowing is just for advertising, unrelated to effect.

When displaying holiness before people, of course one must glow.

Normally glowing or not glowing is fine—Tang Luo isn't a light bulb, why would he need to glow anytime, anywhere.

Walking into the bedroom, putting on gear, a fully enlightened high monk just appeared like that.

"Your dog." Qin Menglan threw the Xiaotian Dog from her arms toward Tang Luo.

For this little cat, such behavior equals playing a game.

Tang Luo also couldn't be bothered to reach out—the Xiaotian Dog adjusted its posture in midair and stood steadily on Tang Luo's shoulder.

Picking up the ominous thing placed on the rack, Tang Luo put it into his palm. Whether to obtain it or not can be decided later, but it definitely needs to be worn first.

"By the way, do you have no equipment?" Tang Luo looked at Qin Menglan and asked.

Qin Menglan shook her head: "No suitable equipment."

She truly has no equipment—what would greatly help her is unaffordable, what has little use is just chicken rib.

Anyway she has skills—Demolishing Magic Ice Spear, which can be summoned when needed, also counts as a weapon.

Half an hour passed in a flash.

The two sitting on the sofa, the scene before their eyes changed simultaneously, silently arriving in the mission world.

"Not the same mission?"

"Not the same mission?"

Upon hearing the mission, Tang Luo and Qin Menglan also looked around.

Qin Menglan had six people around her, but Tang Luo wasn't among them.

As for Tang Luo, he had no one around him, only himself and the Xiaotian Dog on his shoulder—indeed the Xiaotian Dog was confirmed to be regarded as Tang Luo's "equipment" or something like that.

"Suppress the snake demon, again this kind of headless and tailless mission."

This mission is just four words—Suppress the Snake Demon.

As for what kind of snake demon, whether it refers to an individual or a group, where it is—all need to be explored by the gods and demons walking themselves.

"Suppress?" Tang Luo pondered in his heart, "How does one count as suppression? Physical conversion, mental conversion, or like the Tathagata back then, burying people alive?"

The place he is now in is a mountain ridge.

Looking around, all are trees; through the gaps, what he sees is also continuous mountain ranges.

It can be said to be deep mountains and old forests with no human traces.

"But the vital energy is still okay." Tang Luo focused on the place, which still differs somewhat from other gods and demons walking.
