Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 183

Gu Jialing took a big sip, but felt that his body that was almost frozen outside was warmed up by half.

Xu Shou kept looking at the Taoist master.

Xie Jingyuan asked back, “Why can’t it be her?”

Xu Shou: “Taoist Master, you’re a human being, and we are demons.”

Xie Jingyuan: “That was in the previous life. Now we are all human beings. After making sure that you would not do evil, I have not treated you as demons.”

Gu Jialing: “Even so, you should find a normal human woman like you to fall in love with, right? Su Miaomiao is almost like a cat except that she can’t turn into a cat. She smells like a cat, lazy, greedy and domineering and is not cute!”

He looked at Xie Jingyuan as if he was sick in head, as only when he was sick would he like Su Miaomiao.

Xie Jingyuan said lightly, “If you really think she’s not cute, why do you always let her scratch your hair, and a while ago you picked her up to and from the class on time?”

Gu Jialing: “…”

He snorted, “I’m too lazy to care about her. It has nothing to do with her being cute. In this world, only kind birds are cute, and no cat is cute!”

Xie Jingyuan didn’t argue with him, but looked at Xu Shou.

Xu Shou also thought about the same reason as Gu Jialing, but obviously, in the eyes of the Taoist master, Su Miaomiao was cute, and he didn’t mind her lazy shortcomings.

Therefore, Xu Shou pointed out calmly, “The Taoist master deserves a woman with a better bloodline and a purer blood.”

Although Su Miaomiao’s body was human, her soul was still a demon, at most she was half human and half demon.

Xie Jingyuan said seriously, “Humans are humans, regardless of blood, don’t discriminate against species.”

When Gu Jialing heard that, he glared at Xu Shou immediately, “That’s right, the Taoist master doesn’t look down on us, but you look down on us?!”

Xu Shou: “Okay, Su Miaomiao is a human being, and is a talent, but you could meet more outstanding women, so why rush to choose her?”

Xie Jingyuan: “Miaomiao is only eighteen years old. She had already won the world-class tennis championship and was admitted to Beijing University based on her own results. You can find only a few who are better than her, regardless of gender.”

Xu Shou was silent.

Gu Jialing also spoke for Su Miaomiao, and punched Xu Shou, “You can be jealous of the cat, but you can’t tell nonsense with your eyes open. Apart from academic performance and sports awards, Su Miaomiao also has top-notch beauty that other girls can’t match. In ancient times, it was comparable to Su Daji, the kind that only human Emperors could have, although the Taoist master is the master of Qingxu Temple, in terms of status, he can’t compare with an Emperor, right?”

Xu Shou glared at him.

Xie Jingyuan: “I am indeed far inferior to an Emperor.”

Xu Shou: “That’s because the Taoist master doesn’t have the heart to be the Emperor, otherwise…”

Xie Jingyuan’s gaze became stern again.

Gu Jialing also warned Xu Shou, “Don’t talk nonsense! Now it is socialism, and the people are the masters of the country. If you want to break the law, the Taoist master will be the first to kill you!”

Xu Shou didn’t want to be a bad person, he just felt that Su Miaomiao was not good enough for Taoist master.

In the final analysis, he still regarded Su Miaomiao as a cat demon, and the Taoist master as two different species.

Xie Jingyuan could see what Xu Shou was thinking, and said, “Xu Shou, the four of us have lived the longest life, and you have watched the most novels and TV series, please tell me your understanding of the relationship between men and women.”

Xu Shou blushed.

Gu Jialing encouraged him with a playful smile, “Master Xu, tell us quickly.”

Xu Shou didn’t know where to start.

Xie Jingyuan reminded, “Is it true that you only decide by looking at the other party’s family background?”

Xu Shou shook his head.

“It’s just the other person’s intelligence, isn’t it?”

Xu Shou shook his head.

“It’s only the other party’s wealth, isn’t it?”

Xu Shou still shook his head.

Next, no matter what Xie Jingyuan said, including a person’s external conditions, internal talents and even the utilitarian benefits brought about by marriage, etc., Xu Shou shook his head.

Xie Jingyuan concluded, “My liking for Su Miaomiao has nothing to do with these things, it’s just because she is her.”

“Even if there was another perfect woman of your imagination, I wouldn’t take another look at her,” his voice was calm, yet firm and powerful.

At that moment, a scene emerged from the depths of Xu Shou’s memory.

In the village he was guarding, there was once a scholar who met an injured fox demon.

The scholar applied medicine to the fox demon. After the fox recovered from her injuries, she turned into a beautiful woman and wanted to make love to the scholar.

Xu Shou knew that it was wrong, humans and demons should not be together, so he drove away the fox demon while the scholar was away. The fox demon would rather offer up her demon pill, lose her cultivation to only be able to accompany the scholar as an ordinary person, and would rather stay with the scholar. 

And that scholar was not a talented person, nor did he have Pan An’s appearance, just ordinary appearance, and ordinary family background.

Xu Shou thought that the fox demon was grateful to the scholar for the grace of saving her life.

The fox demon said, “It’s not gratitude, I love him, and I am very happy with him.”

Because the fox demon insisted, Xu Shou withheld her demon pill for the time being, because he was responsible for other villagers and even the scholar’s family.

The fox demon married the scholar in an ordinary human body.

Later, a wealthy businessman in the county took a fancy to the beauty of the fox demon and offered a hundred gold to the scholar for her.

The scholar agreed, and the fox demon was tied to the sedan chair.

Xu Shou stopped the sedan chair on the road, and the people fled in all directions frightened by his deliberately enlarged figure. He opened the sedan chair and saw the fox demon with tears streaming down her face.
