Daoyuan pretended to be asleep and lay on a makeshift bed in the corner.

Fortunately, the tone and manner of my outburst of profanity in my excitement were quite different from my usual self; otherwise, what would a high-ranking monk be thinking if he said "Holy crap"?

'Uh, you know, it's kind of endearingly unexpected...'

He and the Tree Demon Granny had roughly the same dream, the difference being that Daoyuan knew he was in a dream and could also see the location of the Tree Demon Granny.

But even though I knew it was a dream, the ancient battles between heaven and earth still brought a strong sensory impact.

It felt like being there.

The primordial chaos of war between demons and gods shattered the land and shook the heavens; the great war between witches and demons changed the very fabric of the world; the battle of sages brought about cataclysmic destruction; and the slaying sword formation blazed with devastating power.

Those scenes sent Daoyuan's adrenaline soaring, and he couldn't help but scream the moment he woke up.

For a master of his caliber, it would be impossible for him to lose control of his body under normal circumstances. Moreover, while a monk's heart is not genuine, he has cultivated Buddhism for so long that his concentration is extraordinary.

But everything in the dream inevitably made Daoyuan wonder if the universe might have truly started as the primordial chaos before the beginning of time.

After a moment of reflection, I realized I was worrying too much, so I silently chanted "Amitabha" to calm my mind.

Zhao Gang and Xiao You looked around the room and listened carefully. They could only hear faint Buddhist chants. Apart from that, there was only snoring and teeth grinding.

"There is indeed a reason why Master Daoyuan can be regarded as a divine monk after Bodhidharma!"

Zhao Gang said with emotion.

"Well, the master hasn't gotten up yet, so it's probably just someone talking in their sleep. It's nothing serious. Let's continue playing chess."

"good."

The night was long, and those on night watch needed something to keep them awake. Playing chess could prevent them from dozing off without affecting their observation.

The chessboard is for Chinese chess, and this round has only just begun.

Just as things quieted down for a moment, a man and a woman, both newlyweds, emerged from the house, looking sleepy.

Zhao Gang looked at the chessboard without turning his head.

"What are you doing out here?"

Xiao You lingered on the girl for two seconds, then glanced at the rather tall man.

The woman was quite attractive, the prettiest among the newcomers, while the man had a well-developed physique, suggesting he frequently worked out at the gym.

When their eyes met, the woman was slightly timid, while the man remained relatively calm.

"Um, Captain, I need to go to the restroom..."

Zhao Gang seemed to snap out of his thoughts and moved his cannon aside.

"It's your turn."

Then she turned her head to face the man.

"Are you going to pee too?"

The girl blushed slightly.

"I was a little scared, so I asked Chen Sheng to come with me..."

Zhao Gang looked at the man and chuckled.

"Go ahead, but don't go too far. Just take care of it nearby, but don't let me smell it!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Liya answered, blushing.

Watching the two walk away quickly side by side, Xiao You chuckled.

"Captain, do you think they really went to the bathroom, or... well, you know what I mean!"

"You know nothing! Hurry up and play your game, it's your turn!"

However, Xiaoyou really misunderstood this time.

The man named Chen Sheng might have had those kinds of thoughts, but the girl named Xu Liya really needed to urinate.

She originally wanted to ask a senior person to accompany her to the toilet.

However, the senior members seemed indifferent and had bad tempers towards the newcomers, so she didn't dare to call them names. The only one with a good temper was Master Daoyuan.

But asking a high-ranking monk to accompany you to the toilet is just too far-fetched.

So Xu Liya shook Chen Sheng, who she got along with best since they arrived, awake.

Xiao Shuai's handsome features and strong physique easily attract girls and make them feel safe.

Xu Liya and Chen Sheng walked around the two rooms and arrived at a corner.

"This place, shall we?"

Xu Liya didn't dare to go too far.

Chen Sheng had already leaned back slightly, looking at Xu Liya's graceful figure and those long, white legs, and felt a little hot in his lower body.

He glanced back in the direction he had come from and could still clearly see the two people playing chess.

"Let's go further away... The smell will all blow away with the wind here..."

Xu Liya glared at him awkwardly. She hadn't told Chen Sheng that she needed to use the toilet, but that sentence reminded her.

"All right."

The two walked a little further out, into the woods surrounding the temple, and went in more than ten meters.

"Hey, you have to come over when I call you!"

Xu Liya gave Chen Sheng some instructions, though she was a little scared.

The latter really wanted to say, "I'll just go with you," but in the end, she didn't dare to, and could only nod in agreement.

"Go quickly."

He sighed inwardly that these things couldn't be rushed, but he kept picturing Xu Liya going to the toilet, and the scene after she took off her hot pants and underwear.

Being in the dangerous situation of Lanruo Temple, which is associated with eroticism, actually stimulated his ambition hormones to surge.

Just over ten seconds later, Xu Liya's voice came through.

"Chen Sheng... why don't you come over here... I can't pee..."

'Heaven is helping me!'

"Okay, right away!"

Chen Sheng gave his "buddy" a good rub and ran in the direction where Xu Liya was.

The first sight of the scene made Chen Sheng's blood boil even more.

Xu Liya squatted by a small tree, her hot pants already pulled down. Although her legs weren't visible from this angle, her white buttocks were still clearly visible.

Moreover, the neckline of the T-shirt at this angle was a great help, making a pair of large, round breasts hang there.

"Um... Chen Sheng, don't look at me like that..."

Chen Sheng's mouth was dry, so he took a few more steps closer. On a whim, he said something as if to play a prank.

What's behind you?!

Ah~~~

Xu Liya jumped up from the ground and threw herself into Chen Sheng's arms without even pulling up her pants.

With a bang, Chen Sheng's mind went blank, and he was breathing heavily through his nostrils. He no longer cared about anything else.

...

"Ring ring~ Ring ring..."

Zhao Gang frowned and looked at a corner of the eaves of the monks' quarters in Lanruo Temple, where a string of small copper bells hung.

At this moment, these copper bells are constantly swinging and ringing.

Is it very windy now?

Xiao You shook his head in confusion, but then a thought struck him: in the story, when the female ghost summoned the tree demon to eat hearts and suck blood, she would ring a bell, and at that time the bell of Lanruo Temple would also ring.

At the same time, Zhao Gang's expression changed, probably because he had also thought of that possibility.

At this moment, Xu Liya rushed back alone in a panic.

Zhao Gang stood up solemnly.

"Why are you the only one here? Where is Chen Sheng?"

Xu Liya's fearful expression subsided slightly.

"Ah!? He didn't come back? I just heard footsteps leaving, and I thought he came back on his own. It scared me to death..."

Xiao You and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance.

"Oh no!"

The noise outside also disturbed those who were not sleeping soundly inside. Daoyuan was the first to come out of the house, and the second was surprisingly Yan Chixia from next door.
