Xu Nian had just said goodbye to Mu Qin when she saw someone she didn't want to see: Du Yuan.
He twirled the prayer beads in his hand, all his gentle demeanor vanished, and he stood there expressionless, his eyes dark as he looked at her.
"Master Duyuan, what a coincidence!" Xu Nian smiled and slowly backed away as she spoke, sensing that Duyuan's visit was ill-intentioned.
Xu Nian's little actions, of course, did not escape Du Yuan's notice, which made him feel even more upset.
She always looked impatient with him whenever she saw him.
Just like now, all she wants to do when she sees him is run away.
But these past few days, he's seen Xu Nian and Mu Qin chatting and laughing together, getting along very well.
Why can't she treat him like that?
Du Yuan's eyes were gloomy. He kept telling himself that she was a demon and he was a Buddhist disciple, and that he should not have any desire for her.
But it was deeply resentful, and it was clamoring to have her.
Lock her up, so that she can only look at him and smile, only act coquettishly towards him, and only eat the chicken legs he feeds her.
She should be like in the dream, existing only by depending on him.
Seeing that Du Yuan was distracted, Xu Nian thought it was a good opportunity and turned to run away.
"Little fox, where do you want to go?" Du Yuan flashed behind Xu Nian, her pupils contracted, and her large, well-defined hand covered the lower half of her face.
She heard Du Yuan whisper in her ear, "Little fox, you can't escape this time."
Enveloped in Buddha's light, Xu Nian didn't feel uncomfortable, but why was she out of her control again?
She wanted to run away, she wanted Du Yuan to let her go, but she couldn't move or speak.
She looked at Du Yuan in horror, unable to utter a single syllable.
Du Yuan smiled, a very gentle smile, but in Xu Nian's eyes, he appeared terrifying.
Du Yuan stood with Xu Nian on a big tree, his arm around her waist, letting her see clearly how the two men below were arguing for her.
"Little fox, look, Mu Qin really has a protective heart towards you!" Du Yuan's breath landed on Xu Nian's neck, raising goosebumps.
"Tsk! I didn't expect this rich young master to be Prince Rong. This little fox is really charming; even the royal family is bewitched by you." Du Yuan said with a light smile.
Xu Nian felt as if the large hand around her waist wanted to strangle her.
Xu Nian's heart was pounding; even she, in her naiveté, could sense that something was wrong with Du Yuan.
That jealous tone, that subconscious action—how could he do that?
Xu Nian racked her brains but couldn't figure out what she had done to offend this monk.
Even when they were in a meditation room, she would interact with him in the form of a fox.
How could he have developed feelings for her that he shouldn't have?
He is a Buddhist disciple, how could he have desires?
Du Yuan only left with Xu Nian after the two men under the tree finished arguing and found it boring.
Back in the familiar meditation room, Xu Nian lay on the bed where Du Yuan slept, with Du Yuan watching her from the side.
As if examining a rare treasure, his hand traced her eyebrows, the tip of her nose, and her red lips. Under her tense gaze, he lifted a strand of her long hair.
He looked at her and smiled gently, "Little fox, you were born to bewitch the world!"
Seeing her lying there so obediently, his heart burned even hotter, and his desire grew even stronger.
However, Du Yuan is in no hurry; good things should be enjoyed slowly, and his current identity is also a problem.
With Du Yuan gone, Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just thought that Du Yuan was going to do something to her.
Unlike Mu Qin's gaze, Du Yuan's gaze was one of pure hatred, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
That aggressive gaze was exactly how a man looks at a woman.
We are determined to win!
Xu Nian became anxious. What should she do now?
The male lead is acting strangely again, Yuanbao is nowhere to be found, and she is being controlled by Duyuan.
She might even lose her virginity at any time.
Lying in the meditation room, Xu Nian didn't know how much time had passed when Du Yuan returned looking exhausted.
He walked over, squatted down, and said, "Little fox, it'll be quick."
What do you mean, "soon"? What are you talking about?
Xu Nian's puzzled look went unanswered. Du Yuan climbed onto the bed, kissed her cheek, and then held her tightly as they fell asleep.
Du Yuan fell asleep, but Xu Nian couldn't sleep.
She felt uncomfortable because something was digging into her waist, but the people around her didn't seem to notice.
The next day, Du Yuan got up and washed up as if nothing had happened. He returned with the chicken leg that Xu Nian liked, still feeling chilly.
He helped her wash her hands before putting the chicken leg into her hand.
As Xu Nian mechanically ate her food, she wanted to curse Du Yuan as a lunatic.
I can't live like this if I have to control her even when she's eating.
After she finished eating, Du Yuan tidied up and went out again.
For the next two weeks, Du Yuan went out early and returned late every day, looking exhausted. Xu Nian also noticed that short hairs had grown on the top of his head.
That day, Du Yuan returned with a big smile. He was no longer satisfied with just kissing Xu Nian's cheek, but instead restrained himself and kissed the red lips he had long coveted.
"Little fox, wait for me, it'll be fine tomorrow." Du Yuan said, his eyes burning with passion as he looked at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian felt a chill run down his spine. What did "crossing the path of destiny" mean? What day is tomorrow?
She couldn't get an answer, and Du Yuan didn't continue talking. Instead, he fell asleep next to her.
Xu Nian waited, and as soon as it was light, Du Yuan fed her as usual and went out again.
At noon, Xu Nian noticed that the Buddha light around her had dissipated.
Without thinking too much, Xu Nian jumped off the bed and immediately opened the door to the meditation room to escape.
When Du Yuan returned with a big smile, the meditation room was empty. The woman who should have been lying on the bed was long gone.
"Little fox, you still left me and ran away." The smile on Du Yuan's face disappeared, and he lowered his head, his eyes slowly reddening.
The madness that had been suppressed for so long gradually rose up, filling his eyes, and he chuckled softly. "Little fox, you can't escape."
Du Yuan removed his monk's robes, changed into ordinary clothes, put down the Buddhist beads he always wore, and resolutely left Guide Temple under the gaze of the monks.
After he left, the bell of Guide Temple rang, and the abbot of Guide Temple announced to the world: From now on, there will be no more Buddhist disciples who can save sentient beings.
Not long after Xu Nian escaped from Guide Temple, she encountered Yuanbao. Overjoyed, she picked up the little fat pig and said, "Yuanbao, you finally found me."
"Host, what have you done? The main plot has changed!" Yuanbao was really about to cry at this point.
"I didn't do anything!" Xu Nian swore that she really did her job properly this time.
"But just now, the main system announced that the male protagonist has left Guide Temple and voluntarily relinquished his status as a Buddhist disciple." Yuanbao refused to believe that this matter had nothing to do with his host.
"What? How did things turn out like this?" Xu Nian was stunned, and at the same time, she understood why Du Yuan had been leaving early and returning late lately.
It turns out that he asked her to wait because he wanted her to return to secular life.
