Hua Yuanzhao responded politely and looked at the nun Su Xin in front of him calmly.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and Su Xin's face shows a bit of compassion and tranquility under the moonlight.

"Donor, please follow me." Su Xin led the way, with a humble and neither arrogant nor servile demeanor.

The courtyard was paved neatly with bluestone. As soon as Hua Yuanzhao entered the door, he smelled the rich sandalwood.

Hua Yuanzhao wrinkled his nose quietly. Judging from the intensity of the aroma alone, the incense in this place seemed to be even more popular than that in the Huguo Temple.

"Jingsi Temple is different from ordinary temples." Su Xin suddenly spoke, as if she saw through Hua Yuanzhao's thoughts.

"Most of the people admitted here are guilty, so they need to burn incense every day to cleanse their sins." Su Xin said, and made a gesture of invitation to Hua Yuanzhao.

Hua Yuanzhao smiled awkwardly, and before he could say anything, he caught a glimpse of a woman rushing towards him from the side.

The woman was wearing coarse cloth and had disheveled black hair, like a madman. She rushed towards Hua Yuanzhao as if she didn't care about her life.

"Little bitch! You—"

Before she could get close, she was grabbed by two nuns who came from behind and pressed to the ground.

The woman looked towards Hua Yuanzhao with red eyes, her fingers digging into the ground with a ferocious look on her face: "Little bitch! You've also ended up in this place! I curse you to die a miserable death--"

Before she could finish her words, the nun covered her mouth and dragged her away.

It was not until the people walked away that Hua Yuanzhao realized what was happening.

——Isn't this Su? How did she become like this in just a few days?

"Don't worry, donor." Su Xin said calmly, "That donor committed a heinous crime of murder, so he needs to do hard labor to atone for his sins..."

She led Hua Yuanzhao forward without looking away, and continued, "Donor, you have saved many people. Although you have come here, you only need to follow me and chant sutras to cultivate your mind."

Hua Yuanzhao always felt that something was wrong, so he just smiled politely and said, "Thank you."

Su Xin led Hua Yuanzhao to a secluded courtyard in the back mountain, where only the main house had candles still on.

"We have prepared vegetarian food and hot water for you. I won't disturb you." Su Xin did not enter the house, but said, "I will start chanting at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Please don't sleep in."

Hua Yuanzhao thanked him again before going into the house with Fuling.

Before leaving the city, she heard the night watchman's sound in the carriage. Roughly speaking, it was only four or five hours until dawn.

The room was simply and plainly decorated, and except for the bed being a little bigger, it was no different from an ordinary Zen room.

On the table was a cup of mild tea, two bowls of cold vegetarian noodles, and a plate of lush green stir-fried vegetables.

Fuling used the method Hua Yuanzhao had taught her to search the house, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, this place is not poisoned!"

It seems that it is just as Nun Suxin said, the nuns in Jingsi Temple have no ill will towards the young lady. They were just entrusted by the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they had to keep the young lady!

"It's always better to be careful in unfamiliar places." Hua Yuanzhao smiled, sat at the table and invited Fuling to eat noodles.

I just had a pancake at noon. I thought I could have a good hotpot at night, but unfortunately I didn’t get to eat it.

Fortunately, the noodles are also good, with large portions and enough to fill you up.

After the two of them had their fill, they couldn't help feeling sleepy.

Fuling dragged the couch to the door with a grunt, clapped her hands and said to Hua Yuanzhao, "That's all right, young lady, you can sleep peacefully! I'll be blocking the door, no one can get in!"

Hua Yuanzhao silently gave Fuling a thumbs up, saying, "My little crybaby is so awesome, he is so proactive!"

They were both extremely tired, and they orgasmed in bed after a while.

Hua Yuanzhao was sleeping soundly when the bed board under him suddenly cracked, revealing a dark hole. Hua Yuanzhao, who was sleeping in the middle, fell down suddenly wrapped in naked bedding.

She was sleeping and was awakened by the sudden feeling of weightlessness. When she opened her eyes, she saw only darkness.

For a moment, Hua Yuanzhao thought he was still in a dream.

But the next moment, the piercing pain from his feet tore Hua Yuanzhao's delusion apart.

Hua Yuanzhao instinctively rolled into the space wrapped in a quilt, rolled twice on the white porcelain floor, and then slowly came to his senses.

She looked at her swollen ankle and gasped in pain.
