Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 229

“Are you feeling so tired after running for such a short distance?” Gu Jialing, who had just landed from mid-air, stood aside and looked at Xu Shou’s red face mockingly.

Xu Shou blurted out, “…I’ll go pick up some more dry firewood.”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at the blue bird next to him. Although he was also a demon, he was fluffy and nothing could be seen.

Recalling Su Miaomiao, who was usually in the form of a white cat, nothing seemed to be shown in that form, only Xu Shou was a bit special.

Maybe, when they pass by the market, he could buy a few pieces of cloth and make a pair of pants for Xu Shou that he could wear.

He just didn’t know how long Su Miaomiao had been paying attention to Xu Shou.

Xie Jingyuan stopped thinking about it, picked up the mountain rabbit and pheasant Xu Shou brought back, and the fish Su Miaomiao caught, and went to the river to clean them up.

“The Taoist master knows how to do that?” Gu Jialing turned into a young man and squatted aside to watch the excitement.

Xie Jingyuan lowered his head to clean the meat, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the cat licking her fur with her small tongue…

Xie Jingyuan casually threw a fish to Gu Jialing and said, “I’ll teach you.”

Gu Jialing: “…”

He didn’t want to learn!

When night fell completely, Xie Jingyuan had already grilled two fish, and Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing were eating with relish, Xu Shou came back with a large bundle of dry firewood.

With Su Miaomiao’s eyesight, she could tell at a glance that Xu Shou’s face was still red.

She went to see Xie Jingyuan again, but was coldly warned by him.

Su Miaomiao couldn’t say anything, but she was very proud. The Taoist master set rules for her every day, but she found out that Xu Shou was the most indecent one.

But it was not Xu Shou’s fault, the male demons in the forest were very careless, and Su Miaomiao had long since seen them.

Xie Jingyuan ate dry food, and handed the roasted rabbit meat sprinkled with seasonings to Xu Shou.

He took it and bit it very hard.

Gu Jialing retaliated, “You eat gently, it looks like you haven’t eaten for a few days.”

When Xu Shou glanced at him, Gu Jialing was startled, and couldn’t help shrinking toward Su Miaomiao, almost touching her shoulder.

Seeing Xie Jingyuan looking over, Su Miaomiao immediately pushed Gu Jialing away in disgust, and quoted Xie Jingyuan’s words,.”Men and women should maintain a distance, stay away from me in the future.”

Gu Jialing said angrily, “I’ll stay as far as I can, don’t even think about playing with my feathers in the future!”

Su Miaomiao thought for a while and explained, “I’m talking about human form, if you become a bird, you can still touch me.”

Only then was Gu Jialing satisfied.

Xu Shou thought about what Su Miaomiao said before and after, and suddenly realized that Su Miaomiao must have done something inappropriate when they left, and was reprimanded by the Taoist master, so she took it out on him.

After trying to understand the reason, Xu Shou stopped digging into it.

“Speaking of which, Taoist master’s cooking is really good, even better than the ones made by the master chefs in restaurants.” After eating the fish and pheasant, Gu Jialing lay on his back on the rocky beach, looking at the stars in the sky and savoring contentedly.

Su Miaomiao nodded. If the Taoist master cooked food for them every day in the future, it wouldn’t matter if they didn’t go to restaurants.

Xu Shou tidied up the stone stove silently, lest the wind blow away the sparks and cause a wildfire, and Xie Jingyuan squatted by the river to wash his face.

Suddenly, when he heard a splash, Xie Jingyuan froze, and then he looked up. It was Gu Jialing who jumped into the water, and he was still standing shamelessly.

Xie Jingyuan just slapped him out with his hand.

That was a move handed down by the patriarch, as long as the cultivation level was sufficient, any demon would show their original shape under that move.

Poor Gu Jialing was about to splash water on his body, but then he turned into a little bird floating on the water.

After regaining consciousness, Gu Jialing quickly flapped his wings and flew up, “Why did you hit me again?!”

Xu Shou watched coldly, guessing the truth more, glanced at Su Miaomiao, and he explained the etiquette to Gu Jialing on his behalf.

Gu Jialing was convinced, and flew to a distance to take a bath.

Xu Shou also went to find a place to take a bath.

Su Miaomiao nestled on the stone and asked Xie Jingyuan, “Won’t you bathe?”

Xie Jingyuan turned his back to her and said, “I’ll go when they come back.”

“You can bathe here, there is no one here.”

When he remained silent, she suddenly understood, turned around and jumped into the carriage and said, “I’ll sleep now. Taoist master, please bathe.”

Xie Jingyuan glanced at the carriage, picked up a big stone, and threw it into the middle of the river.

Then, he saw that the curtains in the carriage raised automatically without wind, and two cat ears were first exposed, and then the familiar cat’s head.

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

After bathing, Xie Jingyuan changed into a Taoist robe and walked back to the carriage. He hung the newly washed one beside the carriage.

Although he knew spells, unless necessary, Xie Jingyuan would not waste his spiritual power on such trivial matters.

After hanging it up, Xie Jingyuan lifted the curtain and saw Su Miaomiao nestled on the main couch and Gu Jialing sleeping on the side seat.

When Su Miaomiao opened her eyes, Xie Jingyuan put down the curtain, walked to the rocky beach, and sat down beside Xu Shou.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Xie Jingyuan glanced at Xu Shou and asked.

Xie Jingyuan glanced casually, and found out that Xu Shou was wearing weird clothes, which just covered his waist and abdomen, but would not affect the free movement of his hind legs.

Xu Shou had black hair, and the outside of that robe was also black, so it was hard to distinguish without looking carefully.

He wanted to explain that Xu Shou didn’t need to take Su Miaomiao’s words to heart, but thinking that she might look at it, he thought it would be good for Xu Shou to dress like that.

Xu Shou wanted to cultivate while sleeping, and when he was sure that the Taoist master had noticed his clothes, he lay down and closed his eyes.
