Yuanjue calmly pulled his sleeve out of Liuli's hand, quietly took a step forward to move away from her, and smiled as he put his palms together: "Don't worry, young lady, this humble monk can see that you are indeed human."

Li Molin looked up and sighed helplessly, "I finally had a moment of kindness and told people the truth, but they don't believe me. What can I do? What can I do?"

Ji Jue laughed heartily and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, don't be sad. Let's just watch these monks rescue a fox demon. When the fox demon eats him, he can go chant sutras in her belly!"

As the group faced off, a black-feathered bird suddenly fluttered in through the window. The bird was about the size of a palm, its feathers entirely black and shimmering with a faint light. It flew in and landed directly on Li Molin's shoulder, chirping in his ear. Its call was clear and loud, but apart from Li Molin and the other two demons, no one else could understand it.

Soon, the bird stopped chirping, perched on Li Molin's shoulder, and looked around curiously. Its bright, deep black eyes were clear and full of life.

After listening to the birds chirping, Li Molin lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before turning to look at Yu Ke.

Yu Ke also looked at Li Molin and nodded, saying, "Let's go immediately, young master."

Li Molin nodded, looked at Liuli with an unfriendly expression, and said in a deep voice, "Stop fooling around, Liuli, we should go now!"

Liuli looked curiously at the black bird on Li Molin's shoulder, wanting to ask what the bird had said, but then she glanced at Yuanjue and the others beside her, and was truly unwilling to leave just like that. After a moment's hesitation, she tugged at Yuanjue's sleeve again, saying, "Little Master, you must save me! Look, he still wants to take me away..."

"Liuli!" Li Molin was truly angry. He roared, "I really have something important to say. If you cause any more trouble, I'll send you back, and you can forget about ever coming out again!"

Liuli paused, feeling increasingly resentful, and simply looked down at the ground, feigning a timid appearance.

"Young Master!" Yu Ke glanced at Liu Li with his gloomy eyes and said in a deep voice, "We should go!"

Li Molin glanced at Yu Ke, and in his anger, he simply walked over to grab Liuli. Liuli quickly shrank back, but Yuanjue stepped forward and blocked her way.

Liuli stood behind Yuanjue, her eyes giving Li Molin a mischievous look.

Li Molin saw her gaze, feeling both annoyed and helpless. With Yu Ke urging him repeatedly from the side, he had no choice but to say in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ke was the first to fly out of the wide-open window, followed by Ji Jue. Li Molin took one last look at Liu Li, then turned and flew away as a streak of black light.

"Sigh..." When Liuli saw that they had really left, she unconsciously took a step forward, her mind racing. Could it be that Li Molin would really go and file a lawsuit against her?

Yuanjue turned his head and hurriedly said, "Good opportunity! Junior Sister Huiyan, you stay and escort this girl home. We'll go after these demons now, and we can make our move once we're outside the city!"

Just as Huiyan was about to nod in agreement, Shichan, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brother Yuanjue, Sister Huiyan, I have a suggestion... My strength is too weak to be of any help. Why don't I stay here and escort this young lady back, while you brothers and sisters go after the demons?"

Yuanjue had originally considered that it would be more convenient for Huiyan to stay since she was a woman. However, since Shichan had already brought it up, he couldn't argue with him, so he nodded and said, "That's fine then, let's go quickly!"

"Yes." Shi Chan put his palms together in a gesture of respect and said, "Then please be careful, fellow disciples."

After Yuanjue and the others left one after another, Shichan turned to face Liuli and called out with a smile, "Miss Liuli."

Liuli smiled and said, "So you little monk do recognize me. I thought you didn't."

Shi Chan smiled and said, "How could that be?"

Yes, how could I forget? Her mischievous little face is always in front of me, how could I forget?

He glanced at Liuli, then quickly looked back at the ground and asked, "I just don't know why this humble monk can't sense any demonic aura from you, young lady?"

"Well..." Liuli said mischievously, "I'm not going to tell you!"

Shi Chan smiled slightly and lowered his eyes to explain, "No matter how you concealed your demonic aura, I was still afraid that if Sister Huiyan stayed and discovered that you were a demon, it would be detrimental to you. That's why I volunteered to stay. Now... I should take my leave. I remember you said that you hoped to come to the human world. Now that you've come out, please travel around the human world. Please be careful in everything you do."

Liuli felt a surge of warmth in her heart and said with a beaming smile, "Little monk, you still have a conscience, you know how to think of me. But don't say goodbye to me, since we're all just traveling the world anyway, why don't we travel together?"

Shi Chan was taken aback, then blurted out, "No!"

Liuli pouted, displeased, and said, "Why can't it be done?"

After a moment of silence, Shi Chan softened his tone and said, "Miss Liuli may not know the Buddhist precepts. I have been fully ordained since childhood. If I were to travel with you, I would be breaking the precept against lust and might be expelled from Bodhi Temple."

“Ah…” Liuli frowned and said, “It’s so troublesome. Just expel him from Bodhi Temple. What’s so good about being a monk? Why do you have to take full ordination?”

Shi Chan shook his head and laughed, "Miss, you are joking. I grew up in Bodhi Temple since childhood. I voluntarily received full ordination and will devote myself to Buddhism, with compassion as my guiding principle. I have nothing to do with the mundane world anymore."

Liuli pondered the everyday conversations the hunters had shared in the woods, and asked thoughtfully, "So, you can't get married and have children?"

Shi Chan nodded and said, "That's natural."

"Oh." Liuli nodded slowly, "This is so troublesome..."

Seeing that she understood, Shi Chan put his palms together in a gesture of respect and said, "Then this humble monk will take his leave."

"Oh." Liuli pouted and said, "Then you can leave."

Shi Chan raised his eyes, gave her a deep look, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

Liuli watched him quickly walk out of the inn. She stood there for a while, her eyes darting around, before she lifted her skirt and secretly followed him.
