Once inside the pool, what happened next was left to chance.
Kong Wang couldn't tell when he was struck by the magic, only that he was in the pool, and after being entangled by the fox demon, his head became dizzy.
shame.
This is an utter disgrace.
If his wandering master were to return and find out, he would surely regret designating him as the next abbot of Yunyin Temple.
“Young master, now that we’ve already made love, you should at least let me go.”
"Otherwise, if I expose this, you won't benefit either."
The fox demon sat by the steaming pool, the water tinged with a faint pink.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take you in now, so you won't have a chance to tell me all this?" Kong Wang's tone suddenly turned heavy.
Bai Lingyu blinked and decided it was best to leave first.
“Young monk, you monks have Buddha in your hearts. You can deceive everyone else, but you can’t deceive the Buddha in your own heart. You have broken the precepts and are no longer worthy to be a monk.”
After saying that, the figure suddenly floated away.
The lingering sound remains.
The mountain has a barrier; she cannot escape it, nor can she leave.
The demon core still resides within the emperor's body.
She was still waiting to retrieve the demon core to save her people.
He could protect her as long as she returned to the Emperor's side.
Bai Lingyu had already sensed Li Shengyuan's presence; he was at Yunyin Temple.
Behind him, Kong Wang relentlessly pursued him.
His robe was torn, so he simply threw it away and stopped wearing it, leaving him only in a white monk's robe with an open collar that revealed mottled, ambiguous red marks.
Whenever Bai Lingyu turned around, she would let out a silvery laugh, as if she were teasing him.
Kong Wang blushed deeply, constantly pulling at her collar, and even her prayer beads were slipping from her grasp.
Yunyin Temple.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
After a good night's sleep, Mi Shan felt much better and, with Xun'er's help, got up and went to the temple entrance.
The wishing tree in the yard was covered with red ribbons.
The morning dew was heavy.
Many people had already gotten up and gathered at the entrance, looking down at the stairs.
We eagerly await Master Kongwang's return after capturing the demon.
Only Li Shengyuan, wearing a bronze mask, stood in the front row, pacing anxiously back and forth.
His tall and slender figure exuded an invisible sense of oppression.
finally--
A series of hurried footsteps sounded.
Everyone looked ahead, and Mi Shan couldn't help but look towards the steps as well.
The next second.
"emperor!"
A white figure gracefully rushed into Li Shengyuan's arms, hugging him tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.
It looks just like a little pet that has been wronged outside.
"Waaah, Your Majesty, Yu Yu has finally met you."
Bai Lingyu spoke pitifully, leaning on his shoulder, her whole body covered in dust.
His gaze, however, found Mi Shan precisely in the crowd.
He gave her a grateful look.
Mi Shan curved her lips into a smile.
It seems it has come in handy.
Now, Kong Wang's existence is no longer a threat.
"My beloved concubine, my dear concubine. I have finally waited for you to return."
"You've suffered. Tell me, how have they been bullying you?"
"Your Majesty! You must not trust this vixen again. Stay away from her at once!"
The Prince of Pingxi was heartbroken.
He never expected that the first one to return would be the demon concubine.
I've forgotten!
"Monster, submit to your doom!"
Another figure floated up from the bottom of the steps. Master Kongwang tightened his sleeves with one hand and held Buddhist prayer beads in the other, glaring angrily at Bai Lingyu.
"Your Majesty, save me! He's trying to harm me!"
Bai Lingyu fearfully hid behind Li Shengyuan, peeking out cautiously.
Li Shengyuan's protective instincts arose spontaneously.
He drew his sword and aimed it at Kong Wang.
"How dare you hurt my beloved concubine!"
"How dare you! You've met the Emperor, yet you don't kneel!" Xu Ninghai said.
"This humble monk, Kongwang, pays his respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, quickly release that demon! She is a fox spirit!"
"A fox demon?" The Empress Dowager's expression changed upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, did you hear that? Why aren't you staying away from that demon?"
"Your Majesty, it's not like that. You know I've never harmed you. It's all that wretched monk's fault. He conspired with the Prince of Pingxi to try and kill me. He captured me and imprisoned me on the mountain, torturing me. And that Kong Wang, he... he still wants to bully me!"
Bai Lingyu's acting was so realistic that, under her terrified accusation, Li Shengyuan was already furious and mistook Kong Wang for a madman who wanted to defile his beloved concubine.
"You hypocritical monk! How dare you covet my concubine!"
"Your Majesty, do not listen to this fox demon's nonsense. This humble monk is not guilty; on the contrary, it is she, she..."
"What's wrong with me? Do you think I'd eat you?"
Bai Lingyu bit her lip, using the most innocent expression to do the most hateful thing.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was stunned and speechless, she stepped forward and tore open his clothes.
A red mark was visible on his chest.
It's obvious he was grabbed by a woman.
"Look, he's a monk, yet he tried to do that to me. If I hadn't fought back with my life, he wouldn't have succeeded. I left these marks on him and took the opportunity to knock him unconscious with a stone, which allowed me to escape... Otherwise, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I would never have the face to see you again!"
After saying this, she pretended to cry and threw herself into the emperor's arms, winking and making faces at Kong Wang.
Kong Wang was so angry she felt dizzy: "You monster, you wicked fox, you're the one who accused me first! It was clearly you, it was you..."
"What's wrong with me? I'm innocent, Your Majesty!"
Kong Wang could never bring himself to say in front of everyone that Bai Lingyu had attacked first.
She defiled his body.
He's not clean anymore!
If he were to say this out loud, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that he has already returned to secular life? He would be expelled from the sect!
