Chapter 479: In the End, I Bore It All (Thanks to the Alliance Leader

Door God Protection Technique!

Little Master Xuanzhen clapped his hands, looked left and right, and after confirming that everyone was far away searching for Qingcai and Zhaoyeqing, he pushed the door open and entered the Divine Dragon Hall, naturally turning around to close the hall door, wrapping his left hand over his right, and performed a solemn bow to the Divine Dragon.

"Greetings, Venerable One."

"Speaking here will not be heard from outside."

"Many thanks, Venerable One..."

"Have you decided?"

"Yes."

Little Master Xuanzhen felt somewhat doubtful.

Based on his knowledge and understanding, he could not imagine any power that could support a person in making wishes at will; even gods who had fused with the origin, while capable of utilizing a portion of the power of rules within this Plane, could not achieve everything one wished for or satisfy any wish of any person—this exceeded his understanding.

But the power within this Divine Hall was clearly higher than ordinary Divine Power, which also exceeded his understanding.

Perhaps... it really could work?

Thus, holding a mindset of partly wanting to try it out and partly wanting to test it, he came here.

"The junior's first wish is, I hope the Calamity-Response Buddha and the revived Reed God can easily suppress the otherworldly forces in Nanzhou..."

"The second."

"Can it be realized?"

"The second."

"Apologies, this junior has offended you."

Little Master Xuanzhen performed another bow and continued: "The second wish..."

Little Master Xuanzhen's eyes flickered, looking left and right—not because he sensed others were here, but because he found it somewhat difficult to say, and finally said: "This junior's cultivation requires observing worldly affairs and experiencing worldly emotions, but this junior..."

"Get to the point, keep it simple."

"Very well..." Little Master Xuanzhen fell silent for a moment, "This junior saw two group members in the group chat falling in love, being affectionate and considerate of each other, and felt very envious in my heart, so I also want to find a girlfriend and hope the Venerable One can satisfy this."

"Just this?"

"Just this."

"Can't you just find one yourself?"

"..."

Little Master Xuanzhen was choked up instantly, as if stabbed by this great existence; he held it in for a long time before managing to squeeze out: "I can't find one..."

"I see you look quite handsome."

"This poor Daoist is a member of the Daoist sect; although members of the Daoist sect can fall in love and marry, those who do are few and far between. Most devote themselves to cultivation and remain single until old age, to the point that the world has developed a prejudice against us Daoist sect members... This poor Daoist usually has no choice but to pretend to be uninterested in women."

"So that is how it is."

Behind the Divine Dragon's body—

Zhang Suannai tried hard to suppress her laughter, looking at Chen Shu and Ning Qing.

The Group Owner remained silent and also looked at those two, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart; this little Daoist was actually pining for love, which was completely invisible on a daily basis.

Chen Shu covered his mouth with his hand, as if there were something dirty on it, wiping back and forth to suppress his laughter.

"The third."

"The third..."

Little Master Xuanzhen frowned and looked toward the door.

The Door God Protection Technique told him that someone was approaching.

Just as he was at a loss, the Divine Dragon seemed to see through his thoughts, its voice majestic and ancient: "If you have not decided, you may hide behind me, and come out to tell me once you have decided."

"Many thanks, Venerable One!"

The little Daoist walked quickly toward the back of the Divine Dragon.

In the very next second—

"?"

The little Daoist stood completely stunned, looking at these four in disbelief: "Qingcai, Zhaoyeqing, Group Owner, Grandma... you all..."

"Shh! Come quickly!"

Zhang Suannai beckoned to him.

Chen Shu also beckoned to him.

Zhaoyeqing sat cross-legged on the ground, her expression indifferent.

The Group Owner was squatting on the ground in a very unrefined manner; he glanced at him and moved aside silently, making room for him.

The little Daoist remained silent.

The number of people hiding behind the Divine Dragon became five.

Dharma Master Tongdeng's actions were the same as the previous few, only he was frowning tightly, as if he had something on his mind. At the same time, being so sneaky was, after all, not very honorable; people of the Buddhist Sect valued openness and having a clear conscience, and it should not have been like this.

But he still came.

"Amitabha..."

Dharma Master Tongdeng pressed his palms together toward the Divine Dragon and bowed deeply, performing a grand salute: "Greetings, Venerable One."

"Are you a successor of the Buddha?"

"This junior is... Did the Venerable One know the Buddha back then?"

"Of course..."

The Wish-Granting Divine Dragon revealed a complex and emotional expression, as if it were a supreme existence from the ancient era; this instantly dispelled the doubt in Dharma Master Tongdeng's heart that was the same as Little Master Xuanzhen's.

"State your wish?"

"To tell you the truth, this junior has recently developed a Xinxie."

"What Xinxie?"

"This has to start from a group that this junior joined..."

"Keep it short."

"Very well."

Dharma Master Tongdeng bowed respectfully and said with his head lowered: "In that group, there is a member with exceptional culinary skills who is always posting photos of dishes, and several other members are always boasting about his craft. At first, this humble monk didn't think much of it, but as time passed, I gradually became interested in those meat dishes they spoke of, and gradually began to ponder whether the commandment against eating meat in the Buddhist Sect, set by the Shengzu and the Buddha, still holds meaning. Until now, this humble monk has developed a Xinxie..."

"Keep it simple."

"This humble monk dreams of tasting meat lately, and it has already affected my state of mind..."

"State your wish."

"This humble monk doesn't exactly want to eat meat, I just want the senior to use your divine powers to tell this humble monk what meat tastes like... especially the Yuer Chicken made by Qingcai Caike, which the donor grandmother who came with me mentioned, as well as the Boiled Meat Slices mentioned by donor Meng Chunqiu and Junior Brother Xuanzhen, and the Intestine Tofu Brain Flower, Ginger Fried Duck, Mutton Soup, and so on..."

Behind the divine dragon, the five people looked at each other.

The group leader looked at Chen Shu, as if he were the culprit.

Chen Shu felt very innocent; he was just a cook, is it a crime for a cook to cook?

After a moment of contemplation, he pointed his finger at Zhang Suannai.

Zhang Suannai:??

He turned and pointed at Little Master Xuanzhen.

Little Master Xuanzhen was silent, still immersed in his own wishes of "wanting to find a girlfriend," "can't find one," and "pretending to be uninterested in women," only sparing a sliver of his mind to eavesdrop on Senior Brother Tongdeng's wish.

"The second one."

"This humble monk only has this one wish."

"Nothing else?"

"If there is anything else, then please, Venerable, let us find Qingcai Caike and donor Zhaoyeqing as soon as possible."

"Come behind me."

"What does this mean?"

"Come..."

"This humble monk trusts the Venerable."

Dharma Master Tongdeng was silent for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and walked behind the ink-colored divine dragon.

In an instant, five pairs of eyes stared at him expectantly.

"..."

Dharma Master Tongdeng fell silent, revealing a complex expression, eight or nine parts similar to the meme of the Bodhisattva Responding to Tribulation. For a moment, he felt he couldn't say anything, and in the end, he could only press his palms together, look up at the sky, and chant a long Buddhist name:

"Amitabha, what a sin..."

"Master Tongdeng, there's no need for that. If you really want to eat meat, I'll just make you a portion separately next time," Chen Shu said, blinking his eyes as he looked up.

"..."

"But to be fair, Yuer Chicken is the eternal god!" Zhang Suannai also said, "Next time I'll scoop your rice and hide a piece at the bottom of your bowl for you to eat in secret."

"..."

"Senior Brother Tongdeng, sigh..."

"..."

"Master Tongdeng..."

"..."

Dharma Master Tongdeng was silent for a long time before asking: "What wishes did you all make?"

Zhang Suannai, the group leader, and Little Master Xuanzhen looked at each other, all closing their mouths, looking as if they couldn't bring themselves to say it.

Just then, Chen Shu took a step forward:

"They..."

Before he could get two words out, Zhang Suannai pressed down on his left hand, the group leader pressed down on his right hand, and Little Master Xuanzhen swiftly pulled out a talisman and slapped it onto Chen Shu's throat with a *thwack*.

Dharma Master Tongdeng looked at the three of them, then at Chen Shu, and stopped asking, turning instead to say: "Shall we guess whether donor Luo will come?"

"Ahem..."

"I guess not!"

"Then this Daoist guesses he will!"

"Someone is coming outside," Dharma Master Tongdeng said calmly, "My setup has already reacted."

"Oh!! Let's hide quickly!"

"Ahem..."

The group leader coughed dryly again: "Is that necessary! Doing this is quite unethical, let's just go out..."

"Group leader, when you were eavesdropping on this Daoist, did you say the same thing?"

"Amitabha, stop talking, hide quickly."

The group leader wanted to say something more, but the others had already forcibly pulled him behind the body of the divine dragon and stuck a talisman on him as well. The group leader was helpless, and since he didn't want to use brute force to break it, he had to quiet down.

Wu Eiwei was dressed in tight black clothing that outlined her tall and perfect figure, with a pair of long legs and a delicate, petite face, yet she wore a sci-fi mask that covered her entire face quite snugly.

"Wish-granting dragon?"

"You may make three wishes, and what is said in this room will not be heard by those outside."

"First, within the next year, my cultivation must be able to catch up to Zhang Suannai."

Wu Eiwei's words were very crisp, without any hesitation.

The few people behind the divine dragon looked at each other.

Zhang Suannai curled the corners of her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, as if to say that this was wishful thinking.

"Catch up? Isn't it to defeat?"

"As long as my cultivation is the same as hers, I naturally have the confidence that I can defeat her."

The few people behind the divine dragon looked at Zhang Suannai in unison again, and even Ning Qing silently glanced at Zhang Suannai.

Zhang Suannai curled her mouth even wider, a look of disdain appearing on her face; it seemed she only refrained from acting out so she could continue eavesdropping, otherwise, she likely would have already grabbed her Divine Sword and gone out to give her a sound beating.

"Very good, the second one."

"The second one..."

"Hurry up."

"You will keep it a secret for me, right?"

"Naturally."

"I want Meng Haoran to be completely obedient to me!"

*Swish. *

The few people behind the divine dragon all shifted their gazes again, looking at the group leader crouching on the ground.

The group leader avoided their gazes, her expression complex.

At the same time, she secretly tapped the floor with her hand...

"Tsk tsk..."

Chen Shu clicked his tongue in his heart.

I couldn't tell that this Moon Night Nüxia was so tough; she actually wants to control the Imperial Family...

"The third one."

"I want..."

Halfway through Wu Eiwei's sentence, the light at the eyes of her mask suddenly brightened, her hand instantly gripped the sword hilt, and with a *swish*, she turned her head to stare intently behind the divine dragon:

"Who is there?"

The few people behind the divine dragon looked at one another.

"Come out!!"

The Long Sword began to slowly separate from the scabbard.

Then, a long, drawn-out Buddhist chant was heard:

"Amitabha..."

A figure dressed in yellow monk robes walked out and silently looked at Wu Eiwei: "Benefactor Luo, are you well?"

"Dharma Master Tongdeng! Why are you here?"

"This humble monk..." Dharma Master Tongdeng pressed his palms together, wanting to say something, but finally thought better of it and gave up, "Never mind, there are still people behind."

"??"

Wu Eiwei instantly turned her head again, staring behind the divine dragon:

"Come out!"

"..."

"Come out!!"

"Heavenly Venerable above..."

A delicate-looking Daoist dressed in moon-white Daoist robes walked out and looked at Wu Eiwei very apologetically: "Excuse my rudeness..."

Wu Eiwei did not answer, but instead continued to stare fixedly behind the divine dragon:

"Come out!"

"Uh..."

Zhang Suannai also walked out.

Facing Wu Eiwei's murderous gaze, she scratched her head, actually feeling a bit embarrassed, and could only say: "Um, that thing you said about catching up in cultivation and being able to beat me—that's impossible..."

Wu Eiwei did not bother with her for the moment, still staring behind the divine dragon, the eyes of her mask flickering with a faint light, her hand gripping the sword hilt exerting force:

"You come out too!"

"..."

The group leader walked out helplessly.

The expression under Wu Eiwei's mask was ugly to the extreme; she even had the urge to draw her sword and hack them all to death, but fortunately, the mask concealed it: "I thought you had all gone to look for Qingcai and Zhaoyeqing; I didn't expect you all to be hiding here. I was wondering why there were only Jiang Lai and Yan Keling outside..."

As the words left her lips, she felt something was wrong.

Why were these four people all turning their heads and staring behind the divine dragon?

"Come out!!!"

"Cough, cough..."

Chen Shu and Ning Qing walked out, feeling very embarrassed as they looked at her expression.

Wu Eiwei fell silent and said nothing.

"Clang!"

The Long Sword was drawn from its scabbard!

Chen Shu hurriedly stopped her: "Cultural relics! These are cultural relics! Everything here is a cultural relic!"
