Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 221

After the ceremony was over, Xie Jingyuan came out, he was injured and needed to rest.

Xu Shou followed him back to the room.

Xie Jingyuan took off his outer robe and sat on the bed. At this time, Xu Shou also squatted down in front of the bed, staring at him with a pair of big and dark eyes.

Xie Jingyuan asked him, “How is your body?”

Xu Shou said with a trace of worry, “My injuries are all healed, but my cultivation base has increased by nearly a hundred years.”

With Xie Jingyuan’s acquiescence, he had read a lot of Taoist scriptures and cultivation experience, and he knew that absorbing the demon’s core was not a good thing. Even if those evil demons who cruelly kill and plunder demons’ cores were not killed by the Taoist masters, they would not be able to practice well all the way. It was also difficult for them to die in peace.

Xie Jingyuan said, “No problem, I will find a way to help you stabilize that part of your cultivation.”

There was a solution to everything, as long as there was perseverance.

Xu Shou breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Jingyuan briefly explained to him what happened after the day of the fight, including the scene where Su Miaomiao sacrificed herself to protect him, making Xu Shou very surprised.

Xie Jingyuan said with the hope that Xu Shou could live in harmony with Su Miaomiao, “Although she has some bad habits, she is pure and kind in nature. Not only did she want to save me, but she also fed you the eagle’s core in time. She could have eaten it secretly and left while taking advantage of the chaos.”

Xu Shou understood.

Demons’ cores could attract some evil demons, not to mention the thousand-year-old eagle’s core. Su Miaomiao did not hesitate to share the core between him and Gu Jialing when faced with the fact that it was readily available to her, which showed that she was pure and kind.

It turned out that the Taoist master had seen through her essence long ago, so he didn’t punish Su Miaomiao for her harmless petty theft incidents before.

“Gu Jialing might be waking up too, so go and look after him.”

After explaining, Xie Jingyuan formed seals with both hands and began to practice healing.

Xu Shou turned around and left.

Over there, Gu Jialing did indeed wake up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge cat’s face almost pressed against his face.

“Ah!” The man’s scream quickly penetrated the roof of Qingxu Temple, and it was so loud that all the Taoist masters and pilgrims in the temple heard it.

Xie Jingyuan, who was just about to practice, frowned.

Fortunately, Gu Jialing was a male, and if Su Miaomiao screamed like that, the pilgrims would have misunderstood.

When Gu Jialing was about to call out for the second time, Su Miaomiao put her paw on his mouth.

In fright, Gu Jialing flapped his wings vigorously.

In the past, it took him a lot of effort to break free from Su Miaomiao’s cat claws, but Gu Jialing, who had absorbed half of the demon’s core and had a shallow foundation, was even better than Xu Shou before.

He only flopped a bit, and successfully flew out of the cat’s claw, making Su Miaomiao feel upset.

Gu Jialing was so happy, and was about to fly out to show off, when a black shadow suddenly rushed in from the door, slapped him to the ground with one paw, and pressed him tightly.

Seeing Xu Shou’s wolf-dog face clearly, Gu Jialing was no longer afraid, but just felt wronged.

“If you have something to say, just say it, why are you being like her?”

Xu Shou reprimanded coldly, “Shut up.”

Except for the Taoist masters, in the eyes of the common people, they were just three ordinary adopted animals, and they were spiritual at most.

Evil demons caused harm to the world, and the common people were afraid of all demons. If they find out that the three of them were demons, they may not dare to visit that place in the future, and it would be difficult to believe in Qingxu Temple.

Gu Jialing couldn’t beat Xu Shou, so he had to shut up obediently.

Xu Shou repeated the words of the Taoist master to make sure that Gu Jialing would not move again, and then let him go..

Gu Jialing flew into the air, flapped his wings, and shook off the dust all over his body.

Su Miaomiao was still on the plank bed, originally in a squatting position, seeing Gu Jialing shaking there, she arched her body involuntarily.

Xu Shou suddenly coughed.

Gu Jialing raised his head and immediately noticed the danger, flew to Xu Shou’s side and stared at Su Miaomiao warily.

Su Miaomiao lay down as if nothing had happened.

Xu Shou looked at her and said coldly, “Thank you for the demon’s core matter.”

Those words were so familiar, but Su Miaomiao asked in surprise, “Do you want to give me a thank you gift too?”

Xu Shou: “…”

Gu Jialing spat, “A gentleman repays with kindness, can you learn more from the Taoist master, cat?”

“I’m not a Taoist master, besides, he decided to give me a thank you gift first.”

“What is he going to give you?”

Su Miaomiao said triumphantly, “It’s a beautiful and comfortable nest.”

Gu Jialing was not convinced and said, “I helped him too, so he has to prepare a gift for me!”

Xu Shou: “…”

When Qingxu Temple’s deceased Taoists were buried, Xie Jingyuan’s injuries were completely healed.

Before dawn, he heard a bird chirping outside the window- it was Gu Jialing’s voice.

Because he was too noisy, Su Miaomiao looked at him protestingly, her blue eyes full of displeasure.

Xie Jingyuan put her on the ground, and motioned her to hide under the bed with his eyes.

When Su Miaomiao’s tail was not visible under the bed, Xie Jingyuan opened the window and found Gu Jialing’s figure on a branch.

Facing Gu Jialing’s original form, Xie Jingyuan’s patience would be better, so he asked blankly, “What’s the matter with you? Why are you making noise early in the morning?”

Gu Jialing flew over, landed on his window sill, and murmured in a low voice, “Master, Su Miaomiao said that today you will take her to the town to choose a new nest, and I will go too. I also want a thank you gift.”

Xie Jingyuan asked, “What type of nest do you want?”
