As Ayao walked along, his master disappeared.
He searched everywhere for that white figure, calling out, "Master! Master! Where are you?"
The mountains and forests were quiet, and his voice echoed.
Ayao was extremely anxious, tears welling up in his eyes.
He's so useless; he can even lose his way while following his master.
What if something happens to Master?
Master will be fine.
In a mere second, Ayao came up with hundreds of possibilities, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Master! Master!!"
After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally heard human voices, both familiar and strange.
"Ah Yao, save me!"
It's Master!
Following the sound, Ayao rushed into the cave. It was pitch black all around, and the further he went in, the stranger it became.
"Ah Yao~~"
Her sweet voice, like a delicate thread, lured him into the darkness.
Two candles hung on the stone wall, and in their light was an alluring body, with a seductive posture and captivating eyes.
"Ah Yao~ Come here~ Come here quickly~~"
Ayao was astonished and could not recognize the person in front of him.
Her face is still the same, but her demeanor has completely changed.
She used to be as aloof as a fairy, now she's as alluring as a demon.
As she moved, her gauze skirt slipped down, revealing a large expanse of skin, its snow-white flesh faintly visible, her waist so slender that it could be encircled by a single hand.
Further down... Do not look!
This is my master!
Ayao looked away, her ears turning bright red. "Master, what are you doing here, dressed like this..."
"Ah Yao, come quick and save me!"
The woman raised her fair arm, bit her red lips, and revealed just the right amount of pain, making her seem pitiful.
Ayao felt hot all over and wanted to rush up and hug his master, kiss her red lips, and tear off the cumbersome gauze skirt.
No! That's Master!
How could he be so disrespectful to his master?!
Ayao slapped himself hard, suppressing his unspeakable desire.
The woman let out a soft moan, pulling the light veil down a little. Her voice was delicate and sweet, melting anyone's heart.
"Ah Yao, come quickly and save Master! How can you bear to watch Master die?"
"Come quick, come here quickly~"
Ayao stepped forward, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused. "Master, you can't die, you mustn't die."
"Yes, come quick!"
The woman leaned back, a smug smile on her face, and reached out to hug the boy in front of her, her tone full of seduction.
"Ayao, do you like your master?"
"like."
Ayao stared blankly back, her face turning completely red.
He's shameless!
He's despicable!
He's disgusting!
He actually fell in love with his master!
If his master knew what he was thinking, he would definitely beat him to death.
Ayao snapped back to reality and pushed the woman beside him away, "You're not Master! Master would never do this!!"
"Monster, get out of my way!"
The alluring woman disappeared, and a beautiful face came into view. Ayao was so startled that he almost blurted out his innermost thoughts.
"Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have offended you..."
"Calm down," Lingxi explained. "You and Xiaotong have been bewitched by evil spirits and entered an illusion."
What did you see?
Ayao dared not speak, shaking his head frantically.
Lingxi didn't press the matter, but instead woke the child beside her, saying, "Never be misled by evil spirits."
The child laughed excitedly, "Haha, the evil spirits can't fool me, because I see Yuanqing Temple become the number one temple in the world, and the abbot become the only god in the world. I will have lots of chicken legs to eat."
Lingxi chuckled, "You love eating that the most."
The child readily admitted, "I love to eat, I love Yuanqing Temple, and I love the abbot even more."
When Ayao heard the word "love," he couldn't help but think of his master in the illusion, and his whole face turned red.
He admitted it; he liked his master, wanted to hug him, and wanted to…
Outrageous!
Ayao clenched his fists, not daring to look up.
Lingxi coughed a few times and ordered the two to go down the mountain.
The boy asked, "Master, are we not going to look anymore?"
Lingxi shook her head, her lips pale. "That thing is really strange. We won't look for it today."
Ayao noticed her unusual behavior. "Master, you're injured. What just happened?"
"It's nothing."
Lingxi didn't want to say more and walked down the mountain. Her steps became heavier and heavier, and her figure was no longer as light as before.
Ayao's eyes were filled with heartache; his master must be injured.
She didn't want to talk about it, so he stopped asking.
Lingxi forced herself to walk a few steps, but then felt dizzy.
Just now, the evil artifact emitted a malevolent aura, and she used her spiritual power to resist it, which caused her internal injuries.
On their journey to find Ayao and Xiaotong, they encountered hordes of monsters again and suffered further injuries.
Lingxi pinched the bridge of her nose and leaned against the tree trunk, panting.
Ayao wanted to help but didn't dare to touch him, and finally put his hand down, saying, "Master, let's rest for a while."
Lingxi rested for a while. "The evil artifact is in the mountains. It's getting dark. Let's go back to the Taoist temple as soon as possible."
The boy suggested, "Master, I'll carry you on my back."
"No need." Lingxi stood up.
The three rushed back to Yuanqing Temple. Night had fallen, and it was dark.
Lingxi sat on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed.
Ayao was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
The boy had some medical knowledge, so he brewed a bowl of medicine and also took a bottle of wound medicine.
"Abbot, how are you?"
Lingxi felt better after taking the medicine. "You all go out and rest, it's late."
The boy picked up the medicine, saying, "You can't reach the wound on your back. Abbot, let me help you."
Ayao quickly said, "Master, I can help too."
Lingxi touched her back; her palms were covered in blood. She definitely needed help.
She glanced at the two of them and made a decision in her mind, "Xiao Tong, go out; A Yao, stay."
The child sighed, "I understand."
