Chapter 177 [Alien] Confession
After leaving the shogunate, Hua Jin went straight to Wangyangchun Tower.
This place is very different from yesterday. It doesn't look like a brothel, but more like an ordinary inn or restaurant. It just looks more luxurious and wealthy than other places. Ordinary people would not come here during the day.
There was no beautiful lady inviting him outside the door, but a few waiters standing there, as if ready to welcome guests at any time.
Hua Jin summoned the life-defying sword Bodhi. The waiter was not afraid when he saw this, but stepped forward to ask.
"What do you need, sir?"
"I want to see your landlord!" Hua Jin did not attack mortals, "Zuo Qianqian!"
Hearing this, the waiter led him to the highest floor. When they reached the door, the waiter stopped.
"Our owner is inside, please feel free to come in." After saying that, the waiter left without looking back.
Hua Jin was a little scared. It was the first time he saw the thousand-year-old fox demon yesterday, and he couldn't beat it. But whenever he thought of what happened to Mu Chi because of him and the spell cast on him, he became angry.
He raised his leg and was about to kick the door when it opened by itself. He looked inside and saw Zuo Qianqian sitting on the dressing table, applying lip balm.
"You know you can't beat me, but you still came. Why? Do you want to avenge your master?"
Hua Jin pointed his sword at Zuo Qianqian.
"You have harmed me and my master to this point, you evil monster, I will kill you!" After saying that, he stepped forward, but stopped where he was before he took two steps.
"I would say that you are overestimating yourself by coming here alone. Your master knows it well. Even if you join forces, you can't deal with me. He wouldn't dare come today. You are really immature, young master." Zuo Qianqian stood up and sat on the chair next to Hua Jin. "I see that you have a pure nature. There are not many people like you."
"You can kill me or chop me up as you please!" Hua Jin closed his eyes, thinking that he might be in great danger.
This was good. He wouldn't have to go back and face Mu Chi. He was too embarrassed to do that, and Mu Chi didn't want to see him either. Would his master remember him forever if he died at the hands of a fox demon?
"When did I ever say I wanted to kill you?" Zuo Qianqian tugged at Hua Jin's sleeve and played with his hair. "I clearly want to be your friend. I won't kill you, nor will I harm your master."
Hua Jin didn't believe it.
Zuo Qianqian raised her hand, palm facing him, and cast a spell.
"From now on, we are friends. Not only will I not harm you, I will also help you get your master. As long as you don't let your master get involved in the disappearances of various sects, and let your master return to his original place as soon as possible."
After a long time, Hua Jin finally said, "Okay..."
"Tell me, what's your name?"
"Hua Jin..."
"From now on, I'll call you Xiao Jin, just like your master, okay?"
"good……"
Zuo Qianqian was satisfied. He conjured up a bottle of medicine and put it into Hua Jin's hand.
"This is a top-notch aphrodisiac. You must take good care of it."
"Aphrodisiac?" Hua Jin looked at the bottle in Nan Feng's hand in confusion.
"Xiao Jin, have you heard of the popular storybooks? They all talk about being strong first and loving later. If you can learn from them, I think with your intelligence, you will definitely understand it immediately." Zuo Qianqian conjured up another book and handed it to Hua Jin. "This thing is precious. If you put it in your master's food, your master will definitely come to you on his own initiative. You must make good use of it."
Hua Jin put away the books and medicine bottles.
"Thank you." At this time, Hua Jin really regarded the fox demon as a friend. He was completely unaware of the other party's thoughts and had fallen into the enemy's trap.
"If you have nothing else, go back. If you have any questions in the future, or if you have any questions about your master or his whereabouts, you can tell me."
Hua Jin suddenly felt strange, but he didn't think much about it or answer, and left in a hurry.
Zuo Qianqian looked at his back, lost in thought, when suddenly footsteps were heard from behind the screen.
"What? You want me to hide when I see a little kid?"
"He's different."
The person who came was his master's wife, the national master Song Cisheng.
"What's the difference?"
Zuo Qianqian didn't say anything, just stared at Hua Jin's back outside the window.
He is a fox who has lived for a thousand years. A hundred years ago, when he defeated the first Demon Lord Chen Lian, the Merman King Jun Ajiang almost ascended to become an immortal and almost became the only immortal in the world of cultivation. He remembers the thunder tribulation on that day very clearly.
If an ordinary person were to ascend to become an immortal, he would of course have to endure eighty-one thunder tribulations. However, A Jiang was a demon, and was born with a spiritual fetus, which was extremely rare among the demon clan. He did not need eighty-one thunder tribulations to ascend.
But the thunder at that time was extremely fierce, and it killed innocent demons and mortals. It was not an ordinary thunder that caused ascension at all. It was obvious that someone had managed to draw it out to force A Jiang to ascend.
For so many years, he has been practicing without results and has been unable to ascend. If he could ascend sooner, he would be able to see his master sooner and tell him that Song Cisheng's actions made him unworthy of being her master's wife, and that only he was worthy of standing by his master's side.
He and his master have known each other for the longest time, so why should Song Cisheng be with his master? What's more, Song Cisheng still doesn't know his master's true identity, but he knows it.
As long as he can ascend to heaven and earth, no one can stop him from being with his master.
Hua Jin's immortal bones are pure, but strangely, he is not a natural spiritual body. It must be that his uncle has hidden some unspeakable secret, and Hua Jin has a secret.
However, the secret of Hua Jin is not important. As long as he can absorb Hua Jin's immortal bones, he can also become a spiritual fetus.
Before that, he had to deal with Song Cisheng, so he decided to make good use of this master-disciple pair.
"What are you thinking about so intently?" Song Cisheng asked dissatisfiedly.
"Nothing. He just came, and you came too. I can only ask you to hide first. This person is very useful to us." Zuo Qianqian calmed down, "What are you doing here today?"
"I opened the Nether Gate yesterday."
"What?" Zuo Qianqian was shocked. He had actually gotten there first.
"But for some reason, the formation was unstable. It appeared for only a moment before disappearing," Song Ci said. "Is your method reliable? Who is he, and why did he open the Netherworld Gate?"
"Master's wife, don't be curious. You will know when you meet Master."
It was already evening when Hua Jin returned to the Mu Mansion. He went to the Prince's Courtyard and reported to Mu Chi what he had learned about Ye Ying'er.
He didn't dare get too close and could only stand there from a distance, without the closeness of the past.
"Master, as the princess herself said, she is the daughter of the eldest princess and a demon cultivator. She has been in the Empress Dowager's palace since she was a child. Five years ago, she met Mu Xiuwen in the hunting grounds and wanted to ask His Majesty for a marriage. At that time, Mu Xiuwen was newly married, and the princess was unhappy. She didn't want to be a concubine or a co-wife, so she made a scene. From then on, she would find fault with Mu Xiuwen whenever she saw him." Hua Jin said, "No one in Yandu dared to marry her. The Empress Dowager was worried that the princess's reputation would be damaged, so she used her birthday to find a husband for her. It was yesterday."
"Yeah." Mu Chi said lightly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll withdraw first." Hua Jin had just raised his foot when he was stopped. He looked at Mu Chi happily, thinking that Mu Chi had something to say to him. He thought that his master would always be willing to be close to him and would not reject him.
"There's still no news about your Uncle Zhu. Go and spread the news..."
Before Mu Chi could finish his words, Hua Jin ran away.
He didn't know what was wrong. He stood up and wanted to chase Hua Jin, but he was afraid and stopped.
He thought that as Hua Jin's master, he should be concerned about her, but they...
In fact, this is also good. If it fades away like this, Hua Jin will gradually understand that his feelings for her are not a romantic one, but a teacher's love. Before he meets someone he really likes, he can tell him then. He is not angry, nor does he mind, he just hasn't recovered from it.
Thinking this, Mu Chi closed the doors and windows, got into bed, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes.
Just as I was feeling sleepy, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Master, are you asleep?" Hua Jin asked in a crying voice.
The story says that the protagonist is a little fox demon. He made a mistake and had a quarrel with his beloved, so he took the initiative to show weakness, and waited until the other person softened her heart, then pushed the person onto the bed and took advantage of her step by step.
This is how their relationship was cultivated, built up bit by bit in bed.
The story in the vernacular novel is short, but it contains many details that are worth savoring.
Mu Chi got out of bed and opened the door nervously, only to see Hua Jin with red eyes, tears on her face, and a lunch box in her hand.
"Master..." Hua Jin wanted to ask if he could come in and sit down, but then he saw Mu Chi was barefoot and changed the subject, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
"What's wrong with you?" They both said it almost at the same time.
Mu Chi was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways.
"Come in first."
Hua Jin walked into the room, put down the food box, and brought out everything.
"Master, I heard that you didn't eat much tonight, so I got some food from the kitchen. Master..." Hua Jin pouted, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have done such a beastly thing to you. Master, you must hate me to death, but I really like you..."
Mu Chi sighed. As an elder, he should have a good chat with his apprentice about this sort of thing. So he closed the door.
"Xiao Jin, do you know that some feelings you have towards someone should not be easily expressed to them? It will lead to misunderstandings. If you meet someone you truly like in the future, you will hurt their feelings."
Hearing this, Hua Jin took a piece of cake and handed it to Mu Chi. He said, "Master, please have some to fill your stomach."
Under Hua Jin's expectant gaze, Mu Chi took a small bite.
"I understand everything, I know everything, it's you who doesn't understand me."
Mu Chi didn't know what he would face next, and he still acted like a master, wanting to teach Hua Jin a lesson.
He sat down at the table, put down the cakes, and was about to preach when Hua Jin reached out his hand to him. In his stunned look, he wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth and sucked it into his mouth.
"You..." He never thought Hua Jin would be like this, and was speechless for a moment.
"Master, I like you, I really do. I know what you're going to say. My relationship with you is that of a master and a disciple, but I know very well in my heart," Hua Jin said, holding up three fingers to him. "Master, I am the witness of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon. Where justice lies, I will follow you through life and death."
Mu Chi stood up and accidentally knocked over the stool. He held the edge of the table and pointed at Hua Jin.
"You...I..." His mind was now in a mess because of Hua Jin's words, and his thoughts were wandering.
If he could still lecture Hua Jin, it was when he knew that neither of them meant that, but now Hua Jin had clearly expressed his own meaning.
Such emotions pushed them into the abyss and into a dilemma.
"You can't do this, and you shouldn't have this kind of thought."
He spoke with great sincerity, but Hua Jin treated it as nonsense and did not take it seriously.
When Hua Jin stood up, Mu Chi instinctively stepped back until he pushed down the wall and had nowhere to retreat.
