Chapter 162 The Final Difficulty
After the report, Jiang Jiu and Fo Jiang returned home. They didn't talk much along the way. Jiang Jiu was a little embarrassed, and Fo Jiang was worried that he couldn't control his emotions.
It's only been a month, and the problem of the Time Worm is not that serious yet. It can be completely resisted as long as we protect the ginger wine during this period.
Jiang Jiu was still a little uncomfortable returning to the big villa, but tomorrow was the first day of school, and she couldn't leave the protection of the men, so she had to come back and live there first.
"By the way, don't you have to go to the temple?"
When Jiang Jiu took off his shoes as he entered the room, he suddenly thought of something and asked directly.
"Um?"
Fo Jiang was walking towards the living room. When he heard this, he turned around and looked at Jiang Jiu.
"Not needed for now."
He replied.
Fojiang's current situation is rather special. Temples all over the country are willing to keep him as their holy son. Perhaps his transcendent divinity is too attractive. No matter which temple he goes to, the incense will become very prosperous.
So he can go anywhere.
Fo Jiang was surprisingly calm, which made Jiang Jiu feel something was strange.
"Speaking of which, you monks, can you like others?"
Jiang Jiu habitually talked about whatever came to his mind. Looking at Fo Jiang's unusually handsome face and his various behaviors, a hint of weirdness appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask.
Unexpectedly, Fo Jiang was stunned at first, then showed an expression that was completely unlike his own. There was an evil aura emanating from his raised eyebrows, and he walked towards Jiang Jiu with an indescribable sense of oppression all over his body.
Jiang Jiu subconsciously thought to himself that something was wrong. He had already changed his shoes, but was forced to the door by Fu Jiang. In the end, he was pressed against the door, trembling.
"you....."
She hesitated and tried to push Fo Jiang away, but the man grabbed her hand tightly.
Fo Jiang's arm was like a piece of hard iron and she couldn't break free at all.
"No, no, no, I won't ask."
As soon as he looked up, he met Fojiang's deep and lightless eyes, which seemed to be able to devour people's hearts. The compassion in them disappeared completely, and was replaced by an indescribable evil.
Jiang Jiu was in tears, feeling as if he had said something wrong, but he didn't know what he asked wrongly. However, begging for mercy was definitely the right thing to do.
She had seen Fo Jiang's methods of torture in her dreams.
"It seems you have forgotten my fall into evil."
Fo Jiang gently lifted Jiang Jiu's chin and spoke slowly like an ascetic nobleman, but only Jiang Jiu knew how frightened she was looking at those eyes.
“No…I don’t remember.”
Jiang Jiu cried.
"I never said I was a good monk. They used to call me... a demon monk."
Looking at Jiang Jiu's almost frightened expression, Fo Jiang curled the corners of his mouth and finally gave up the idea of teasing her. He let go of Jiang Jiu's hand, took two steps back, and returned a safe distance to her.
Jiang Jiu's heart was pounding wildly. Looking at Fo Jiang's cold back as he turned and walked inside, his mind was filled with the expression on his face when he called himself a "demon monk".
There's actually a kind of... indescribable sexiness to it.
As soon as this thought came to mind, even Jiang Jiu himself felt a sense of horror. It seemed as if his brain was broken and he was thinking about these nonsense for no reason.
If Fo Jiang had been so upset and hadn't let her go, she would have been finished.
Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and from then on he tiptoed like a thief, afraid of being noticed by Fo Jiang again.
She returned to her room, and the moment she lay back on the bed, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
Jiang Jiu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Unexpectedly, she still announced her decision today. She didn't know if it was right or not, but a month should be enough for her to figure it out.
The warm light in the room shone on her body, and Jiang Jiu fell asleep in a daze.
At that time, Fo Jiang appeared beside her bed, looking at her with gentle eyes.
After a while, the man stroked her forehead with his slender fingers, speaking softly.
"If I hadn't met you, I probably wouldn't have liked anyone else. You brought me into this world, so you should be responsible for me."
Fo Jiang hasn't called himself a poor monk for a long time. He doesn't want Jiang Jiu to feel strange and alienated.
People in Buddhism always give people the illusion of being out of the world. Most of them are far away from worldly affairs. He is no exception. Until now, he still feels that Buddhism is a pure place.
Just for ginger wine, he was willing to come to this world and stay.
In his daze, Jiang Jiu felt as if he heard something, something very important.
The warm touch on her face made her linger. Even though she was still asleep, she unconsciously grabbed the man's hand. It was slender and warm, with human body temperature, and the skin was very delicate, making people want to touch it more.
Jiang Jiu thought so subconsciously and did it. He touched Fo Jiang's hand here and there, and finally rubbed it with his cheek.
The room was very quiet and no one saw Jiang Jiu rubbing his hand like a kitten. Looking at her face full of dependence and love, Fo Jiang couldn't help but blushing.
If he didn't have 100% self-control, he might have kissed her directly.
But in fact, he had already recited the Heart Purification Mantra in his heart a hundred times. It was not until he heard a sound outside that he withdrew his hand and hurriedly concealed his shyness.
He seems to have high attack and defense, but in fact, he will fall on his own without any provocation.
...
When Long Xuan opened the door, he saw Fo Jiang sitting on the sofa with a serious face. He subconsciously looked upstairs to the room where Jiang Jiu was.
Logically speaking, school is over now and everyone should have returned.
He muttered to himself and wanted to go up, but the next second he heard Fo Jiang say.
"She agreed."
As the words fell, the air became extremely quiet. A look of surprise flashed across Long Xuan's face, then turned into ecstasy.
"Really?"
He asked impatiently.
"Yes, but it will take a month."
Fo Jiang's tone was as indifferent as ever. If he hadn't said it, no one would have known that the warmth on his face had just faded.
"It's only a month! No problem!"
Long Xuan was so excited that he almost wanted to fly into the sky twice, but considering that there are cameras everywhere in modern society and his true form could be easily discovered, he had to give up for the time being.
"How's the fight against the Time Worm going?"
Fo Jiang continued to ask.
Only then did Long Xuan think of those annoying bugs, and his expression began to turn grim.
"It's very troublesome and difficult to solve. Someone needs to keep an eye on the river near the ginger wine at all times."
The river he was referring to was the water in the river that had been there for a long time, which made it easy for small insects to slip through.
It requires close monitoring.
"Okay, let's hold on for another month."
Fo Jiang closed his eyes. He knew too well how difficult it was to stop the Time Worm, but none of them would go against Jiang Jiu's wish.
