Chapter 374 The Boys of That Time (Twenty-Seven)
Gu Yan was surprised to receive an explanation, which seemed reasonable. He stopped worrying about it, returned the young man's wife to him, and carried his elderly mother, whose legs were weak, out of the watermelon patch.
Once the watermelon spirit died, the watermelon field, which had looked like it was growing exceptionally well, immediately became desolate. The vines withered and turned yellow, and some watermelons even began to rot.
The melons that the guests had brought out earlier were also covered with black stripes, making them look quite frightening.
The egret, who had just said she wanted to eat watermelon, turned pale with fright and clung tightly to Qingtian's arm, refusing to let go.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait." Seeing that Gu Yanjing was about to leave, the young man, holding his wife whom he had just regained, remembered to call out to Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yan turned around in surprise: "I am not your fellow Daoist."
The young man stepped forward and approached Gu Yanjing: "Fellow Daoist, I see that you possess a Dharma image. Are you also a cultivator?"
Gu Yanjing's face was full of indifference and impatience: "I said, I am not your fellow Daoist, nor do I want to be a Daoist."
The young man persistently followed Gu Yanjing, acting cute: "Does that fellow cultivator cultivate immortality? We're all on the same path, aren't we?"
When a grown man tries to act cute, unless he's a cute little puppy, it's a disaster.
Gu Yanjing was even less inclined to turn back and walked forward without saying a word.
Meanwhile, the comments section exploded.
"Damn, wasn't that my baby just now? Was that my baby? My baby looked so cool when he drew his sword."
"Baby, I love you, I love you so much."
"My little one, you've worked so hard. Let Mommy give you a kiss, mwah mwah mwah."
"The person upstairs is dreaming. If anyone's going to kiss, it'll be me."
"You mom fans, get out of here! Girlfriend fans, come and clear the area!"
"Husband, husband, I love you."
"Ahhh, my husband is so handsome, I want to have his babies."
"Honey, I'll wait for you to grow up and earn money to support you."
"Get out of here! This is my baby. Do you even deserve to have his babies?"
The comments section erupted instantly.
They've seen the demon-slaying stories before; the platform has a dedicated livestream room where Taoist priests from Zhengyi Temple slay demons, and they watch it when they're bored.
However, someone pointed it out.
"Shouldn't you be concerned about why your idol knows magic right now?"
"Yes, why does the little one know magic?"
"What if my husband gets captured by the old man at Zhengyi Temple and forced to become a Taoist priest?"
I've heard that Taoist priests are not allowed to marry.
"Taoist priests can get married, but they generally don't."
"Ahhh, my little one can't become a Taoist priest!"
"That's right, that's right. Now that my husband has become a Taoist priest, we often can't see his divine face anymore."
The topic in the comments section could have been steered back on track, but the power of women is too terrifying, and it was completely swayed again.
The young man greeted the director and introduced himself as Xuan Yu, the 237th generation disciple of Zhengyi Temple.
The production team was currently racking their brains trying to find a solution to the failure of the first mission and didn't pay any attention to Xuan Yu.
Then, he stuck to Gu Yanjing, basically wanting to get close to him and then bring him back to Zhengyi Temple to make up for his lost performance.
Gu Yanjing's head was throbbing from all the nagging, so he simply called out, "Qianqing."
In an instant, a sword light shot from the sealed void towards Gu Yanjing's location.
The sword light first circled Lu Lingjun affectionately, and only flew to Gu Yanjing after Lu Lingjun touched him. It flashed brightly like a spotlight, as if waiting for Gu Yanjing to touch it.
