Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 204

Su Miaomiao understood, and happily kissed him again.

She liked the Qixi Festival. If every day was the Qixi Festival, then Taoist master would be with her every day.

“Are you hungry?” After kissing repeatedly, Xie Jingyuan asked with concern.

Su Miaomiao nodded. She did a lot of exercise during the day, so she tended to get hungry when it was time for meals.

Xie Jingyuan held her hand and said, “Let’s go out to eat. I heard of a western restaurant by the river that is highly rated.”

Su Miaomiao listened to him.

After sending a message to Sister Fang, Su Miaomiao wore the same low-key and fresh white dress and walked out the door holding Xie Jingyuan’s arm.

As Xie Jingyuan said, the taste of that western restaurant’s food was really good.

After eating enough, the two of them walked along the river, arm in arm.

The evening wind was blowing, and a half moon hung in the sky.

There were so many changes in the past and present, but the moon was still exactly the same.

Su Miaomiao was tired after walking, so Xie Jingyuan sat on an empty bench, and she sat sideways in his arms, leaning against him comfortably.

Before she fell asleep, Xie Jingyuan took out a small white box from his pocket.

Su Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, and she grabbed the small gift box, then asked, “What is this?”

“The marriage proposal ring.”

As he expected, the word “marriage proposal” had no meaning in Su Miaomiao’s heart, she cared more about what the “proposal ring” looked like.

Xie Jingyuan observed her expression silently.

Su Miaomiao had already taken out the ring.

It was a ring made of gold, with no gemstones or diamonds on it. In the night, such a gold ring didn’t shine at all.

Su Miaomiao’s expression gradually became serious. She held the ring closer to her eyes, trying to distinguish the cumbersome patterns engraved on the surface and inside of the ring, and murmured, “Taoist Master, are there scriptures on it?”

“Yes, a protective spell.”

At that time, Su Miaomiao happened to see a drawing in the middle of the ring, which was a golden long sword with a gourd hanging on the scabbard.

The day when the demons besieged Qingxu Temple, Xie Jingyuan once used a ring on his hand, and the golden halo from the ring directly killed a demon.

And his ring seemed to be the same as the one in her hand.

Su Miaomiao thrust the ring to Xie Jingyuan abruptly.

Xie Jingyuan hugged her, who was still about to jump out of his arms, and explained in a low voice, “When the patriarch founded Qingxu Temple, he cast a ring, and the ring was engraved with sutras to protect the body from evil. It was also a symbol of the identity of the previous Qingxu Temple’s masters.”

Su Miaomiao’s face was pale, and she said unhappily, “I’ve seen you wear it.”

But she was still a demon in her heart, belonging to the “evil” that the ring could ward off. If Xie Jingyuan gave her such a thing, wouldn’t that be to make things difficult for her on purpose?

Xie Jingyuan continued to explain, “The temple’s ring runes can protect the body and ward off evil spirits. For yours, I only carved amulets.”

Su Miaomiao looked at him in surprise.

Xie Jingyuan said with gentle eyes, “I sealed the spiritual power inside. If you are in danger, this ring will activate scriptures spontaneously to protect you. The sealed spiritual power can only be activated three times. When you use it up, I will add new spiritual power which can be sealed in time.”

Su Miaomiao finally understood that it was a powerful ring, a magic weapon he especially prepared for her.

Not to mention a little demon like her, even for a thousand-year-old demon, because she didn’t know how to refine weapons like a monk, it was hard to get a magic weapon.

“Thank you, Taoist Master!”

Su Miaomiao reversed her previous dislike and couldn’t wait to put the ring on her finger.

Xie Jingyuan reminded her, “This is a proposal ring. After you wear it, you promise to marry me and become my wife.”

Su Miaomiao just felt that he was a little silly. She was going to marry him, so why should he ask her?

“It’s not an engagement ring, it’s my weapon!” Su Miaomiao raised her hand. Even after earning so much money in the world, it was only then, she truly experienced the happiness of being “rich”.

She, Su Miaomiao, was also a demon with a magic weapon.

When Su Miaomiao played the US Open again, she had a gold ring on her left ring finger.

When the final was over, when she once raised the championship trophy in front of the camera, the gold ring clearly entered the media’s field of vision.

Domestic reporters interviewed her excitedly, “Does this ring have any special meaning?”

In fact, the reporter wanted to ask if Xie Jingyuan gave her the marriage proposal ring, but diamond rings were popular, and gold rings were ordinary, not suitable for Xie Jingyuan’s worth. If it was not the proposal ring, wouldn’t Su Miaomiao be embarrassed?

The reporters liked Su Miaomiao very much. Of course, when asking questions, they should also consider her and try to avoid embarrassing her.

Facing the question, Su Miaomiao raised her left hand happily, and showed the ring off, “This is my… treasure, it’s my amulet!” 

She smiled so happily, as if that ring was really the best treasure in the world. The reporters were also very touched and took pictures of this scene one after another.

“You didn’t wear the amulet in games before, why did you think of wearing it this time? Did you encounter any special opportunity?”

Su Miaomiao had not yet returned to China, but the interview video had gone viral on domestic social media.

Given that Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan had established a relationship long ago, it was not too surprising that Xie Jingyuan proposed marriage at the Qixi Festival. The focus of discussion among netizens was on that ordinary-looking gold ring that was not so ordinary.

“I asked my Taoist grandfather to study it. The runes on the ring should be a Taoist amulet, but it is different from what is recorded in Taoist literature, and it is more complicated.”

“You don’t understand. Taoist masters are divided into sects, and many sects can marry, have children, drink alcohol and eat meat.”

“Could it be that Mr. Jing really believes in Taoism, that’s why Miaomiao keeps calling him Taoist Master?”

The so-called divine pictures of the Beijing University Halloween party that the group of four joined in their first year of freshman year spread. At that time, many alumni also took pictures of the group of four, and the most widely circulated one was a picture of Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan together.

In the picture, Xie Jingyuan in Taoist robe with a long sword on his back was holding Su Miaomiao’s hand who was wearing a white dress and a cat mask. The two seem to be talking about something. Xie Jingyuan looked at Su Miaomiao tenderly whose corners of the lower lips were raised happily.
