The little fox was naturally Tu Shan He.
Mu Chen didn't blame her for suddenly getting angry. After all, it was normal for a little girl to refuse contact with men, even if this man didn't know she had awakened, he just gently rubbed the little fox's head.
“You! You dare to offend the Fox Fairy! With your small body, a Great Demon could crush you with one paw!”
Si Mu glared at Jia Le with disdain.
Fox Fairy… Great Demon?
It？？？
Jia Le swallowed, looking at the white fox who was closing its eyes under Mu Chen's touch. He no longer felt a single bit of cuteness, only a tingling scalp.
Great Demons are at the same level as his master. He's currently only a Third Heaven Dang Xie Ju Shi, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single enraged paw.
Dear lord, Dao Bo, you are truly amazing, you directly raised a Great Demon as a pet…
Jia Le squeezed out a smile uglier than crying: “I… I apologize, Immortal! I… I didn't mean to!”
The little fox turned its head, ignoring him, and snuggled against Mu Chen's arm, allowing him to pet it better.
Just as Jia Le was still in shock, a cheerful voice came from outside.
“The San Qing Bell rings, is it Si Mu who has returned?”
A round-faced old monk, accompanied by a young woman in her late teens, walked in.
Mu Chen recognized them: Yi Xiu Chan Shi and Jing Jing.
Upon seeing Mu Chen, Jing Jing's eyes lit up, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Watching her constantly adjust her hair and tidy up her clothes, Mu Chen was already used to it.
Yi Xiu also brightened up. Unlike Jing Jing, he was more amazed by Mu Chen's handsome features and the powerful aura that faintly surged within him!
Although he couldn't sense the specific realm, he still felt a hint of danger!
Judging by his bone age, he was only eighteen years old.
At such a young age, he possessed strength that made him, a high monk of the Buddhist sect, have to take notice. Truly extraordinary!
And the fox in his arms… if he wasn't mistaken… it's a Great Demon!
“This is…?”
He nodded amicably to Mu Chen, looking at Si Mu for confirmation.
Hearing this, Jing Jing immediately perked up her ears.
“Saying it will scare your bald head off!”
Si Mu raised his chin, excited, saying, “This is the one who shook the Xuan Men fifteen years ago, attracting countless women… cough! He is my junior brother who was brought back by the Tian Shi of our Daoist holy land, Long Hu Shan Tian Shi Fu, the Pure Yang True Person, Mu Chen!”
His words were forceful, bold and passionate, with a touch of smugness and pride.
As if it was a great honor to know Mu Chen.
This left Jia Le and Jing Jing utterly confused. Although it sounded impressive, you don't have to be like this, right?
When they saw Yi Xiu’s reaction, they were even more baffled.
“You are the one who caused the Immortal Bell to ring nine times in the past?”
Yi Xiu looked at Mu Chen with wide eyes, then seemed to remember something, quickly explaining: “It’s not that I have any opinion about you, it’s just… it’s just that someone as talented as you wouldn’t look down on someone as stupid as Si Mu, right?”
Jia Le: ???
Jing Jing: ???
Si Mu: !!!
Si Mu exploded, “I am also a once-in-a-million talent! Old bald head, what do you mean???”
Yi Xiu remained calm and composed: “You made the Immortal Bell ring four times.”
Si Mu: …
If you put it that way, he couldn't refute it.
Not to mention him, even if you brought out all the Daoist ancestors, in front of Mu Chen… Sigh!
Si Mu resentfully said, “Then you're also stupid!”
Yi Xiu said it matter-of-factly, “In front of Pure Yang Dao You, I am indeed an uncarvable piece of dead wood.”
He wasn’t from the Daoist sect and didn’t need to address Mu Chen as Dao Xiong.
Si Mu: …
He had the feeling of punching a soft, mushy pile of manure with all his might, a sickening sense of powerlessness.
Jia Le: …
Jing Jing: …
What exactly is the background of this Dao Bo (young master)???
Deep confusion lingered in their minds.
They really couldn’t understand why their own master, who was considered a high-ranking figure in all of Shen Zhou, was so submissive in front of Mu Chen!
It’s not their fault, after all, when Mu Chen became famous, they were still at an age where they couldn’t even control their pee.
“Master’s Buddhist teachings are profound, with a hint of emptiness, did you perhaps come from Xuan Ji Temple?”
Mu Chen said with a gentle smile.
“Dao You’s eyes are sharp, my Buddhist name is Yi Xiu, I am indeed from Xuan Ji Temple. You can just call me Yi Xiu.”
Mu Chen nodded.
Xuan Ji Temple, Xuan Kong Temple, Jin Shan Temple, one of the three Buddhist Demon Suppression Holy Lands.
Compared to the Buddhist sect, which specializes in the cultivation of the Dao, these three Demon Suppression Temples prefer to talk about physics.
Yi Xiu, as expected of someone from Xuan Ji Temple, his cultivation was a level higher than Si Mu, and it seemed he wasn’t far from reaching the Ninth Heaven of the Yang Dan Zhen Ren realm.
That’s right, the Buddhist cultivation realms are called the same way as the Daoist ones.
The Daoist sect explained it by saying that Lao Zi went west and became a Buddha, Buddhism and Daoism are originally one.
However, Mu Chen felt that this was more of a change that happened as Buddhism integrated into Shen Zhou.
After all, although they cultivate Buddhist teachings, they are all Shen Zhou people. Naturally, they abandon the realm names born out of the white elephant culture.
After a brief and simple introduction, Yi Xiu led the reluctant Jing Jing back to the Dharma Ground, while Mu Chen carried the little fox back to the room that had been arranged for him.
Si Mu gave Jia Le, who was also reluctant to leave, a knock on the head: “Snap out of it, kid.”
“Master, why did you hit me?”
Jia Le whimpered with grievance.
“Did you develop feelings for Jing Jing?”
“Um… this… I… I don’t have any, don’t talk nonsense, impossible!”
Jia Le replied with a three-part denial, but his shifty eyes betrayed everything.
Si Mu’s expression was calm, “Foolish boy, give up.”
Jia Le suddenly looked up: “Why?”
“Do you know what it means when a girl constantly touches her hair in front of a boy?”
“What does it mean?”
“It means… forget it, you wouldn’t understand anyway. Just tell me, has Jing Jing done that in front of you? Have you had any physical contact with her?”
Jia Le said honestly and confidently, “No, we haven’t had any physical contact, she’s not that kind of girl!”
Looking at his foolish disciple, Si Mu smacked his lips and chuckled, “I went to Ren Jia Town this time and heard a local saying there.”
“It’s called… One glance at a god, a lifetime of regret!”
“Well, the god they’re talking about is Pure Yang Dao Xiong.”
Jia Le: ???
