Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 231

As soon as the Taoist master moved, Su Miaomiao also moved. Her head slid up against his waist, and finally nestled in the gap between Xie Jingyuan’s shoulder and the pillow.

Not long after, Xie Jingyuan heard her purr, which was shallow and long.

Listening to it, Xie Jingyuan also fell asleep.

From the age of ten, Xie Jingyuan used to cultivate at night, he no longer slept, and rarely dreamed.

But that night, he actually had a dream.

He dreamed that he returned to that river again, and saw Su Miaomiao bathing in the water again.

It was just that in the dream, he didn’t stop Su Miaomiao, just watched her slowly turn around in the water, like a water lily under the moon.

It was beautiful, but he resisted such a picture.

So the dream changed, and he and Su Miaomiao went back to the inn, back to the time when she asked him if he could get married.

He actually said yes.

Su Miaomiao was very happy, turned into her human form, and sat on him with her hands around his neck, “Then you should marry me!”

Xie Jingyuan woke up suddenly.

The place was pitch black, Xie Jingyuan heard his rapid breathing, as if something was pressing him, so he reached out and touched a fluffy cat.

Xie Jingyuan looked at his chest, only to find Su Miaomiao really lying there. Probably angry that he disturbed her sleep, she moved slightly to avoid his hand.

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

He stared blankly, still having those messy dreams in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, his breathing calmed down, Xie Jingyuan put Su Miaomiao aside first, and then quietly got out of bed.

The sound of the rain resumed, and the couple next door also fell asleep.

Xie Jingyuan walked to the window.

The wind was cool, taking away the impetuousness in his heart, so he meditated there until dawn.

When the rain had stopped, he washed his face, and carried the cat downstairs to have dinner. Not long after he sat down, Xu Shou also pushed Gu Jialing downstairs.

The three of them had breakfast, and Su Miaomiao sat on Xie Jingyuan’s lap, not interested in a simple breakfast.

At that time, the couple next door came downstairs. The Taoist was fine. The young woman changed into a colorful skirt, her complexion was rosy, and the corners of her eyes were full of charm.

When the two looked at each other, their eyes were full of affection, and their manners were also very intimate.

Gu Jialing stared intently.

Xu Shou turned his head around, not allowing him to talk nonsense.

After the four got into the carriage, Su Miaomiao explained to Gu Jialing, “Those two are husband and wife, and I heard them consummate their marriage last night.”

Xie Jingyuan was just explaining the route to Xu Shou, and he just listened to her talking by the side.

His body was slightly stiff, but Gu Jialing was very interested, “What is consummation?”

Gu Jialing, who had lived in the mountains and forests since he could remember, really had no understanding of human affairs.

Just as Su Miaomiao was about to speak, the Taoist master looked over coldly.

Su Miaomiao said helplessly, “The Taoist master won’t let me tell, you should go and see for yourself if you have a chance.”

“Where should I go?”

Xie Jingyuan interrupted, “Shut up.”

Afraid of his palm technique, Gu Jialing got out of the carriage to ask Xu Shou.

Xu Shou explained, “It’s similar to the crow’s intentions toward you, but the husband and wife are in love with each other.”

Gu Jialing: “…”

He digested his words for a while, got inside the carriage again, and then asked, “Taoist Master, can Taoist masters get married?”

Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes, so Su Miaomiao explained to him.

Gu Jialing gained insight, glanced at Xie Jingyuan, and said solemnly, “Although you will not get married, but with your looks, there is no guarantee that there will be no female bullies who want to use force on you.”

Su Miaomiao nodded in agreement. If the Taoist master was not too powerful, the Taoist master would have been forced by her as early as the night they met in the brothel.

Gu Jialing said in determination, “We must protect the Taoist master!”

He hated female bullies the most!

Su Miaomiao still nodded.

The Taoist master was the man she liked, but she didn’t succeed. Other women and banshees shouldn’t even think about it!

After driving for half a month, the group of four finally arrived at Fucheng.

Fucheng was already prosperous, but since the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, it was crowded with vendors, big and small, making it dizzying.

Xu Shou found an inn, and Xie Jingyuan paid the rent for three days first. The fox fur had to be sold to rich customers, so it probably wouldn’t be sold out so quickly.

Diagonally opposite the inn was a big restaurant. With Gu Jialing’s treat, the four of them went over to have a big meal.

“Taoist Master, how do we sell fox fur?” Xu Shou asked about the business.

Xie Jingyuan had a plan long ago, he said, “We need to go to the busiest street in the city, find a long pole to put on the fox fur, and soon the news will spread through the mouth.”

If he was the only one on that trip, Xie Jingyuan might go directly to the prefecture and sell it for a few hundred taels.

But Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing had already figured out how to spend thousands of taels of silver, so Xie Jingyuan could only sell the fox fur at the highest price possible.

That area was rich in bamboo, and Xu Shou quickly bought a long straight bamboo pole with more than ten cents.

Xie Jingyuan found a suitable place to set up a stall, bought a table and four chairs, put the fox fur behind him on the bamboo pole, and placed a wooden sign next to it with the price of the fox fur written on it. The four of them just sat and waited.

Such a big and white fur quickly attracted countless people.

“One thousand taels of silver for a tail?”

Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes as if he was resting, Xu Shou and Su Miaomiao looked at Gu Jialing together.

Gu Jialing stood up and fought against the Confucian scholars with his tongue. While exaggerating the power of it as if that fox fur was the only treasure in the world, he scolded those rude people.
