Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 101

There were many vehicles and pedestrians on the roads in the urban area, and some people carried flower baskets and sold roses in crowded places.

“Handsome guy, look at how beautiful your girlfriend is, why don’t you buy her a rose?”

Gu Jialing, who was called a “handsome guy”, stopped with a smile, and really picked the freshest rose for Su Miaomiao11miao.

Su Miaomiao11miao hugged him with one hand and smelled the rose with the other.

Xie Jingyuan recalled that she seemed to be particularly obsessed with the scent of roses, and would sniff them curiously every time.

“Give it to me,” Xie Jingyuan held the handle with one hand, and stretched out his right hand toward her.

Su Miaomiao11miao handed over the flower habitually.

Xie Jingyuan seemed to just look at it, and quickly returned the flower to her.

That time, without bowing her head, Su Miaomiao11miao smelled the unique fragrance of rose, and when she took a closer look, those rose petals were even redder and brighter.

Su Miaomiao11miao suddenly jumped from the bicycle.

Xie Jingyuan subconsciously slowed down.

Sure enough, Su Miaomiao11miao chased him.

“Su Miaomiao11miao, you’re actually empathizing with someone else!” Gu Jialing yelled, “Don’t you want the earrings?”

Su Miaomiao11miao: “I want to talk to the Taoist master, I’ll take your bicycle later.”

Xie Jingyuan was curious about what she wanted to say.

Su Miaomiao11miao suddenly turned her head and looked at him obsequiously, “Taoist Master, what kind of spell did you do, can you teach me?”

Xie Jingyuan smiled, “Unless you meditate every night for more than ten years, you won’t be able to perform it.”

Su Miaomiao11miao didn’t believe it, she gently rubbed against him, “Isn’t there an easier way?”

Xie Jingyuan just shook his head.

She pouted in disappointment, ready to go to Gu Jialing.

A gust of wind blew over, causing Gu Jialing’s coat to bulge, making his speed slower than walking.

Noticing Su Miaomiao11miao’s eyes, he quickly waved his hand, “I can’t ride anymore, don’t come here!”

“Will you still be able to ride?” Su Miaomiao11miao asked.

Xie Jingyuan: “Yes.”

Su Miaomiao11miao hugged him with peace of mind, as she tried to pinch Xie Jingyuan’s waist.

Xie Jingyuan: “What are you doing?”

Su Miaomiao11miao smiled: “You waist is thinner than his.”

Xie Jingyuan: “…Don’t touch men indiscriminately in the future, and don’t let others touch you casually.”

Su Miaomiao11miao: “Not even among the four of us?”

Xie Jingyuan: “No, men and women are different.”

Su Miaomiao11miao snorted, put her hands into her pocket neatly, and stopped moving.

The weather was cold, but the sun was good enough, and there were quite a lot of tourists by the lake.

When the three boys parked their bicycles, Su Miaomiao11miao found a stall selling candied haws.

“Taoist Master, look!” Su Miaomiao11miao tugged on Xie Jingyuan’s sleeve and pointed to that side.

Gu Jialing also followed and chose the second most beautiful string. As for the most beautiful string, Su Miaomiao11miao had already snatched it away.

“You don’t like it?” Xie Jingyuan asked Xu Shou.

Xu Shou shook his head. Roasted sweet potatoes were fine, he couldn’t stand that kind of sour and sweet snack.

The four walked slowly along the lake.

There were student-aged couples around, young couples playing with their children, and elderly people playing Tai Chi, full of the breath of life in the human world.

A three or four-year-old girl suddenly stopped chasing and stared at the candied haws in Gu Jialing and Su Miaomiao11miao’s hand.

Su Miaomiao11miao immediately went around to the other side of Xie Jingyuan.

Gu Jialing: “Look at how stingy you are.”

Su Miaomiao11miao: “If you are not stingy, then give her your candied haws.”

Gu Jialing snorted.

Xie Jingyuan recalled the issues he had discussed with Su Miaomiao11miao, and asked Xu Shou and Gu Jialing in the same way, “Will you consider getting married in the future?”

Xu Shou immediately shook his head. He was a demon, how could he marry a human woman? Even if the Taoist master allowed him, he would not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart.

Gu Jialing was not interested in human girls, let alone getting married and having children, so he gave them some knowledge, “Birds are very good at laying eggs. There are at least five or six eggs in a nest, and there can be more than a dozen such births. Once I retain this fertility, if I marry a wife and conceive seven or eight babies at once, how will I live anymore? The way humans raise babies is harder than taking care of birds.”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

Su Miaomiao11miao was inspired and recalled, “The cats I have seen seem to have three or five kittens. My mother is not very good, so she only gave birth to me and my brother.”

Gu Jialing: “You also had an older brother?”

Su Miaomiao11miao: “Well, he was especially good at eating, and he was stronger than me. He was taken away only two months after, and I never saw him again.”

Her brother was quite stupid. He could help people catch mice, but he may not be able to activate his spiritual wisdom and must have died a long time ago.

Xu Shou asked sympathetically, “Do you miss him?”

Su Miaomiao11miao shook her head, “I don’t think about him at all. He always grabbed food from me. I could only eat when he left.”

Gu Jialing was very proud, “I am the strongest and the smartest among my thirteen brothers and sisters. I am the only one who has become a demon.”

Xu Shou didn’t have much to remember. He didn’t know who his father was, and his mother only gave birth to one child. The mother and son stayed in the village to look after the house, and it was not that bad. Later, the mother passed away peacefully.

The three demons chatted about their respective families, and suddenly looked at Xie Jingyuan in unison.

Xie Jingyuan said lightly, “I forgot, I have been in Qingxu Temple since I can remember.”

That was a lie, but it was enough to fool the three demons.

The four chatted and walked around, and when the candied haws were finished, they also came to an empty and uninhabited lot.

Gu Jialing ran to throw out the trash, and came back to ask Su Miaomiao11miao, “If the priest wasn’t there that day, would you have beaten those two little bastards?”

Su Miaomiao11miao: “Of course.”

Gu Jialing: “Don’t underestimate men, come here, let’s try.”
