The Taoist priest spoke vaguely, his lewd eyes darting around erratically.
I felt like I'd run into a tough opponent this time, but then I thought, what could a mere villager possibly do to fight him?
If his explanation can convince the magistrate, the situation will be much easier to resolve.
It's just a real pity about that little girl.
I don't know when I'll meet such a beautiful girl again.
The Taoist priest sighed, then relit an incense stick and burned it directly at the tip of his index finger, the flame immediately flickering on the fingertip.
This scene was still quite unusual, as everyone had never seen it before, and they were once again taken aback.
"It seems that the Taoist priest is truly capable. We beg the Taoist priest to eliminate the monster and rescue Baili Wanwan. The people of the surrounding villages will be grateful to you."
These words were still spoken by Wang Ergou, who was considered a rare clear-headed person. At first, they also thought that what the fat Taoist priest said was unreliable, but everyone was stunned by the monster, and they were only concerned with dealing with the monster as soon as possible and then returning to their normal, peaceful lives.
But I never considered whether there were any loopholes or clues in what the Taoist priest said.
"Don't worry, let me think of a solution first."
The Taoist cleared his throat, then said with a helpless expression, "This monster is indeed quite capable, more powerful than any monster I have ever encountered before, so we must come up with a foolproof plan."
Hearing the Taoist priest say this, Zhang Xiu was so angry that she bit her teeth until they bled. After wiping her mouth, she wished she could tear the Taoist priest to pieces right then and there.
Wan Yuekui was already poised to act. If he found that Baili Wanwan couldn't be saved, he would personally sharpen his knife and turn against the Taoist priest, treating him like a pig or a dog.
After all, this person is worse than a pig or a dog.
In the sea, Baili Wanwan was exhausted. She wanted to give up struggling, but the thought that giving up would mean turning into a pile of shit gave her renewed strength. After all, it would be better to die quickly than to turn into a pile of shit.
"Sister Xue Rong, although the dragon injured its eye, Wanwan remembers that there was more than one last time we encountered it. Could there be another one?"
Baili Wanwan was on the verge of tears. They were already struggling to deal with one dragon, and if another one appeared, they would be truly doomed!
But my aunt was still waiting outside.
He glanced down at the ropes binding him, feeling a little worried, but quickly dismissed his concerns.
However, the other dragon never appeared. The dragon in front of them had its eyes injured and kept roaring. Finally, Lan Xuerong took out a small porcelain bottle and put it away.
Baili Wanwan exclaimed in surprise.
Because she has no memories of her past, when she sees this Pokémon porcelain bottle, she only feels that it is extremely rare to find in the world.
"Sister Xue Rong, the wicked dragon is now inside such a small porcelain bottle? It's truly amazing how it can change size so quickly. But what if its accomplices find out? Will they come back to cause trouble again?"
“The dragon is not stupid. Now that it knows its companion is in danger, the other dragons will not easily show themselves, otherwise they will just be throwing their lives away.”
So, the villagers are safe for now.
But how can we convince them that the monster has been subdued?
Baili Wanwan stared at the porcelain bottle, hesitated for a long time before scratching her head sheepishly: "Is that dragon already dead?"
"They will be refined inside this porcelain bottle, and will die completely in ten days."
Lan Xuerong's lips curled slightly, which meant that she did have the ability to subdue the little dragon.
"However, you can't take this porcelain bottle. If you go back unharmed, he will definitely try to make up for the monster being dealt with. But this time, he will take advantage of you for nothing."
Thinking of the fat Taoist priest covered in black energy, Baili Wanwan didn't want to let him get away with it so easily. She asked Lan Xuerong for some poison, but this poison wouldn't kill anyone. Instead, it would cause people to suffer for three to five years. It was a way to punish bad people.
They swam towards the shore, meandering for miles.
From a distance, everyone spotted a small figure in the sea.
Someone said, "Isn't that Baili Wanwan? Where did she die? She's alive and well. In that case, it's truly something to celebrate."
Everyone has noticed this.
The fat Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief; he had escaped a calamity.
He straightened up and began to fabricate a story: "I said before that subduing monsters is a piece of cake. They have already been subdued by me. Otherwise, do you all think that this little girl could really escape from the deep sea?"
The sea was calm, without a ripple.
However, since no one had seen what the monster looked like, they naturally remained skeptical.
Baili Wanwan really wanted to expose the scoundrel's true colors, but remembering Lan Xuerong's instructions, she could only suppress all her anger for the time being.
Now that she had the medicine, she would let the Taoist priest taste it later.
"I believe this young girl has great potential and is very suitable to follow me in cultivation," the Taoist priest suggested at the opportune moment. "If she can stay by my side, she will surely have great fortune in the future."
Zhang Xiu wasn't sure if the fat Taoist priest was bluffing, but she didn't want Baili Wanwan to leave, so she could only say, "Isn't it good to be a normal child? Besides, Wanwan is very capable in other areas. If she becomes a female Taoist priest, she might not find it easy to find a husband in the future."
Baili Wanwan took the initiative to walk to the Taoist priest's side. Zhang Xiu instantly felt a pain in her chest, and even breathing was painful. She was afraid that Baili Wanwan would be moved and leave with the Taoist priest.
"Oh dear, I thought you were a money tree, but it turns out you're an ingrate. You've been supporting someone else for nothing." Zhao Damei didn't shy away from making trouble, her tone full of sarcasm. She was quite frightened just now, after all, they couldn't catch the monster, and their family had almost no food left.
Now that the monster has been eliminated, she naturally has more to say.
“Daoist Master, this child was never born into his family. Since he has the potential for enlightenment, he is a chosen one. It would be more appropriate for you to take him away.”
The fat Taoist priest was very pleased with these words. He took out a jade ruyi and said, "The monster is now imprisoned here by me. If any of you want to see it, you can come to me alone. However, if you are not careful and are injured by this monster, I will not be responsible."
The jade ruyi emitted a faint light, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.
Upon hearing that they might be harmed by a monster, no one dared to be curious anymore.
Curiosity killed the cat; no matter what, life is more important.
"Since no one is watching, I intend to take my leave. I will also take this little girl with me."
He tried to forcefully press down on Baili Wanwan's shoulders, but she dodged him. Baili Wanwan tilted her head back, blinking her innocent, beautiful eyes: "Who said I was going to go with you?"
