Chapter 354 The Mischievous Little One

Shang Lin kept an eye on Chu Jiusheng all day. Fortunately, when Su Jinghang came to see him, he only said, "Chu Jiusheng seems to have caught a cold today, but I can't see anything else wrong. What's wrong with him?"

Shang Lin explained, "It's nothing. We're all from the same county, so we have to be extra careful."

Su Jinghang wanted to say, "You're just too soft-hearted and too kind. Given what Chu Jiusheng did in the past, why do you still care about him?"

However, looking at it from another perspective, Chu Jiusheng has never done anything to Shang Lin. Ever since he was acupunctured by him, he has always respected him and called him "boss" repeatedly. It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with Shang Lin occasionally showing concern for him.

Having completed his self-guided strategy, Su Jinghang said, "Okay, I understand."

Although Su Jinghang and Fan Mingyu both said that Chu Jiusheng seemed to have caught a cold today, Shang Lin did not take it lightly. After all, the yang energy is strong during the day, so many physical problems will not show up. But the situation is different at night, so tonight, Xiao She still needs to go.

However, when Shang Lin returned home from school that evening, he did not see She Jinxing. Since he no longer needed to make her a midnight snack, he assumed she had returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower.

It's still a bit early for Xiao She to go check on Chu Jiusheng, so Shang Lin immediately started doing her homework, planning to find She Jinxing after she finished.

However, Shang Lin didn't know that She Jinxing was taking care of the baby right now. Xiao Bai woke up in the evening and was full of energy with nowhere to release it.

Currently, in the Dragon Spirit Tower, there are only the Divine Lord, Ah Chou, and Lü Yao. Lü Yao's existence is basically negligible, and Ah Chou is currently busy writing, so it has become that only the Divine Lord is taking care of the child.

Before, Xiaobai was still recovering from its injuries and slept a lot. Even when it was awake, it had limited energy to play around. But now it's different; it's completely healed.

Not only has his health improved, but he also seems to be making up for all the time he didn't have to play before due to internal and external injuries.

It first swam freely in the river, causing quite a stir, and then darted around the first, second, and third floors of the Dragon Spirit Pagoda.

Of course, the herb garden was still forbidden territory for Xiaobai. Even though it was extremely curious about the Tree of Life in the herb garden, it didn't dare to cross the line.

Normally, we could just let it cause trouble, since the rabbits, fruit trees, and vegetables in the Dragon Spirit Tower could be destroyed by Xiaobai at will. However, the second floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower is where Shang Lin works, and the third floor is sealed with two paintings. How could we let it cause trouble?

However, all the cubs had one thing in common—they were restless, so the God could only watch them. After a while, he would inevitably get annoyed and called She Jinxing in to take care of the cubs.

To be fair, She Jinxing is quite willing to play with Xiaobai. He gives it a tail and lets it do whatever it wants, but he can't just take care of the cub all the time!

As soon as Xiaobai saw She Jinxing, it came over and started twisting itself with him. It's grown a bit bigger now, so it can twist itself a little longer.

However, compared to She Jinxing's original form, Xiaobai is still a tiny little thing, only without the mottled scales covering its body. Now it is so beautiful that it is almost dazzling.

When Shang Lin came to find She Jinxing, Xiao Bai was already tired from playing and was curled up on She Jinxing's tail, half asleep! When it saw him, it just looked at him with its big blue eyes and then went back to snuggling up.

Shang Lin was taken aback at first, then realized, "Xiao Bai is awake!"

The deity said helplessly, "Not only is he awake, but he's also incredibly mischievous."

“That’s natural. A cub like that is either sick or injured if it doesn’t make a fuss.” Shang Lin reached out and patted Xiao Bai’s head, then continued, “You can try teaching him to cultivate now, so he won’t have much time to make a fuss. But Xiao Bai is still young, so you should proceed step by step.”

The deity suddenly gave a wry smile, "I really have never taught cubs before, I don't even know where to begin!"

Shang Lin glanced at She Jinxing subconsciously, "Can you teach me?"

She Jinxing immediately transformed into his half-human, half-original form before replying, "I could give it a try, but I started as a small snake and gradually cultivated into a dragon, while Xiaobai is a dragon. I don't even know if I can teach it."

"This... is indeed a problem." Shang Lin was also a layman when it came to the cultivation of demon cultivators. Even if he knew a little, it was only in the details. So he could only say, "Let's try it out first. Anyway, Xiaobai is still young."

"Hmm. Sect Master, is there something you need to do in the tower?" But at this hour, after finishing his homework, he should be resting. After all, every high school student doesn't get enough sleep.

Shang Lin spoke frankly, "It's Chu Jiusheng. I'd like you to keep an eye on him tonight, just in case anything else happens. His symptoms today are similar to those of a common cold, and I'm a little worried."

"Alright, I'll go after Xiaobai falls asleep. Sect Master, you should go and rest."

However, at this moment, Shang Lin's phone notification sounded first. He hurriedly took it out to look and saw that almost everyone in the Daoist group was tagging him, and their purpose was the same: to buy exorcism talismans. Except for Master Yuanyin, there were other people among them.

Shang Lin wasn't surprised to see others asking for exorcism talismans, since they weren't professionals. But he didn't expect Yao Mingyue and Yu Qingfeng to ask for them too. Wasn't that a bit excessive?

These two are legitimate Taoist practitioners; drawing exorcism talismans is their specialty, so why would they need to buy them from me? Are they trying to give me money?

Shang Lin immediately messaged Yu Qingfeng privately, asking directly: "Brother Yu, are you also buying exorcism talismans?"

Yu Qingfeng: Yes, our abbot said that this year is a year with particularly concentrated astronomical phenomena, and evil spirits may increase exponentially. So relying solely on our own talismans may not be enough, which is why we wanted to buy them from you.

So, is the same situation happening with Yao Mingyue?

Okay, then I'll draw it. Anyway, I can make money, so what's wrong with that?

Then Shang Lin subconsciously went to look for Ah Chou, but he couldn't see him anywhere in sight, so he asked the deity, "Where is Ah Chou?"

The deity pointed to the third floor of the Dragon Spirit Tower, "It's written up there."

Shang Lin was somewhat surprised, "You've already thrown yourself into writing so quickly?!"

She Jinxing immediately laughed and said, "That's right. Ah Chou has already written quite a bit, but he hasn't found the right direction or anyone to discuss it with. Now that everything is settled, he naturally wants to write it out and publish it as soon as possible."

Shang Lin also laughed and said, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to delay Ah Chou's writing time."

Who would have thought Ah Chou would be so enthusiastic? Now the whole sect is in an uproar!
