There are quite a few bustling Taoist temples.

Red bricks and red tiles, with a threshold that is nine stories high.

Judging from the appearance, it was renovated in recent years. The entire Taoist temple looks brand new and has not left much of a historical trace.

Apart from the gusty mountain wind, there was almost nothing that spoiled the view.

The Taoist temple didn't become desolate at night; in fact, it was even more crowded.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

The statue of the Goddess of Mystery cannot be seen from the outside; the view is blocked by a screen-like structure.

This means that if you want to see the statues inside, you have to step inside the temple.

"Do you believe in the Goddess Xuan Nu?" Shi Qianfei stopped and turned to look at her.

The mountain wind tousled her long hair, and no matter how much she combed it, it was no use.

Behind her, the city lights shone brightly.

It can be said that this Mystic Maiden was also facing the world and all living beings directly.

"I don't believe it," Zhou Chu replied decisively.

As a good young person of the new era, I simply keep my distance from such supernatural things.

Faith is something that is inherently ethereal and intangible.

"Then why go in?" Shi Qianfei asked, but she had already gone up and bought two sticks of incense specially provided by the temple.

The monks selling incense and candles were rather plump and didn't seem to fit the dignified goddess at all.

The statue of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens is extremely tall, estimated to be four or five meters high, and it is sculpted in the shape of a young girl.

This is quite different from sculptures of Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas, who are mostly middle-aged women; there are very few sculptures of young girls like this.

Although it was Zhou Chu who made the suggestion, it was Shi Qianfei who was the first to light incense and kneel on the cushion.

He was speaking earnestly, but to Zhou Chu's ears, it was just a series of incoherent sounds.

Zhou Chu also closed his eyes.

I don't know what to wish for, so I'll just wish for a successful trip to Qingdao University.

Another hope is that my new book will be a success, and that I can continue to have this relationship with Gao Qinyi.

The two got up one after the other. Shi Qianfei didn't say anything and led him down the mountain from the other side.

She slipped into a shop halfway down the mountain.

It's the kind of shop that sells local specialties, called "Deep Sea," and of course, it sells all sorts of seafood products.

The shop wasn't big, but it was very clean.

Shi Qianfei strode towards the counter and chatted with the shop owner for a long time about the items inside.

I don't know what they were talking about, but it dragged on for about half an hour before they finally left with the two shell carvings.

"This is for you." She opened her palm as she walked out of the shop.

A small object lies in the palm of my hand; it's a tiny figure carved from a seashell.

She's that kind of little girl.

Hers was also a little girl.

Logically, these should be purchased as a couple's set, one for a man and one for a woman. However, Shi Qianfei bought two items that were almost the same sex in order to avoid suspicion.

These shell carvings aren't expensive; when I heard her buy one, it only cost a little over twenty yuan.

"Thanks." Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, then extended his thumb and forefinger and gently lifted the shell carving from her palm.

Even if I use a little more force, it probably won't break, but what if it does break?

"Should I buy something as a return gift?" Zhou Chu asked with a smile, pointing to the shop behind him.

It's really hard to accept receiving a gift from a girl without giving something in return.

"How about this?" Shi Qianfei removed his hand from the shop and pointed instead to the food street in front of her, her eyes unusually bright: "Why don't you treat me to something to eat?"

"Then Sister Fei, you should eat less, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have enough money."

"It won't bankrupt you." She strung her shell carvings on a rope and hung them around her neck.

Zhou Chu originally didn't want to hang it, but there was really nowhere to hang this little thing.

I worry about crushing it if I put it in my pocket.

Let's wear it like her.

"This, this, and this one too." Shi Qianfei ordered dishes the whole way.

He originally thought Gao Qinyi was already a big eater.

I never expected Shi Qianfei to be even more amazing!

After finally getting all the food she ordered back, she was already sitting on the bench.

"Delicious," Shi Qianfei said, sobbing as she ate the takoyaki in her hand.

It's mainly because it's too hot.

It would be very hot if you ate them one by one.

As she ate, she grabbed a cream puff with her bare hands and stuffed it into her mouth.
