6: Section 6

Thus, Bai Suzhen reprimanded Xiao Qing.

"Xiao Qing, do not be rude!"

Xiao Qing's Dao cultivation was not deep, and her expression did not show much, but upon hearing her elder sister's reprimand, she did not understand why her elder sister was protecting him.

Xu Xian looked a bit awkward and told him and Wang Er that he could not treat this illness, and that it would be best to leave and wait for him to continue studying ancient books to see if there was any method.

Wang Er left in disappointment, and he also followed Wang Er away from the place.

Since he knew that Wang Er's duck feathers were caused by Bai Suzhen, he told Wang Er the method to resolve it.

That was to go to Jinshan Temple and find his Master Fahai.

After telling him the original story, he could help Wang Er remove the curse from his body.

Wang Er was extremely grateful to him and hurriedly left for Jinshan Temple.

However, their conversation was overheard by Xiao Qing, who had secretly followed them. Upon learning that he was a disciple of Fahai, the old monk, she decided to teach him a lesson.

It was late, and he arrived at a dilapidated temple.

This was originally a temple dedicated to the Ten Yama Kings, but now it had become his lair.

The Temple of the Ten Kings was originally occupied by a group of beggars, but after he came to live there, his father, Su Donglai, learned of it and ordered all the beggars to be driven away, hoping that he would achieve Karma Perfection soon.

As he finished tidying up and prepared to Cultivate, Xiao Qing came to his door, intending to teach him a lesson and vent her anger.

However, she did not know that even with five hundred years of Dao cultivation, she was no match for him, a monk who had only Cultivated for twenty years.

After a fierce battle, he successfully subdued Xiao Qing.

In the image.

The defeated Xiao Qing's delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and her hair was disheveled as she lay on the ground.

Her cheeks were wet with sweat.

Her clothes were torn in several places during the fight, revealing her fair skin underneath.

Whether from anger or pain, Xiao Qing continuously took deep breaths, her eyes defiantly looking at him in silent protest.

...

At this moment, what do you choose?

Option 1: Advise Xiao Qing to be good, and let her leave after reciting the Diamond Sutra.

Option 2: Humiliate Xiao Qing, tell her that as a snake Demon, she can never compare to humans, then take her inner core, and abolish her five hundred years of Dao cultivation.

Option 3: Fight with Xiao Qing to improve your cultivation.

...

Looking at the three options before him, Su Mo did not rush to choose immediately.

Instead, he analyzed the pros and cons one by one.

Option one was too bland, and felt like it wouldn't help with the subsequent development.

Option two would incur too much hatred; Bai Suzhen seemed to be Guanyin's disciple, and she would definitely find out about this later, making it difficult to resolve.

The only viable option was option three.

Let Xiao Qing help him Cultivate and improve his strength.

In this chaotic world where Demons and monsters ran rampant, it was perhaps the best choice.

With a slight tremor of his finger, Su Mo clicked on the third option.

You chose the third option.

Then he looked at Xiao Qing.

"Xiao Qing, I need you to help me Cultivate!"

The scene shifted.

Xiao Qing's snow-white calves kicked helplessly at the ground...

Xiao Qing helped him. After the fight, he became stronger, and his Buddhist attainments also improved significantly.

He gained a deeper understanding of the Arhat Demon Subduing Divine Art.

His Vajra Body Protection Divine Art reached the realm of Great Perfection.

...

Waking up early the next morning, he found that Xiao Qing had disappeared at some unknown time, and people sent by his father, Su Donglai, arrived, wanting to take him home, as his mother also missed him greatly.

At the same time, they informed him that his mother had given birth to another younger brother and younger sister.

He was quite pleased about this; it was a very Perfection matter for his elderly parents to have companionship in their later years.

Given that he had not seen his parents for many years, he followed the person back home.

Upon returning home, his mother saw him dressed in rags and was heartbroken beyond measure, wondering what kind of hardships he had endured all these years.

So his father and mother began to arrange for him to marry, and they had taken a liking to Nie Xiaoqian, the daughter of Nie Chaorui, the prefect of Jinhua. She was now eighteen years old and was said to have eyebrows like spring mountains and eyes like autumn water, a perfect age for marriage.

...

Chapter 7: The Fiancée is Nie Xiaoqian?

Nie Xiaoqian?

Su Mo was stunned.

Isn't this the female protagonist from A Chinese Ghost Story? Not only did she not become a female ghost, but she was also going to be engaged to him.

He wondered how things would develop next.

If Nie Xiaoqian became his wife in this simulation, then what about Bai Suzhen?

However, Su Mo thought, based on past experience, no matter what happened, the bound 'love affair life' character would develop feelings for him in the simulation through various coincidences.

Presumably, this time would be no exception.

Then, Su Mo continued to look at the screen.

However, three more options had appeared on the screen.

Facing his parents' proposal, what do you choose?

Option 1: Choose Nie Xiaoqian, fulfill your parents' wishes, and let your elderly parents hold their grandchild soon.

Option 2: Reject your parents' request, claiming that your entire life is dedicated to Cultivating Buddhist Dharma and the cause of slaying Demons and monsters.

Option 3: Bring Xiao Qing to meet your parents, claim her as your wife, marry her, and ask Fahai to be your officiant.

...

Seeing the three options that appeared, Su Mo seriously considered them.

The first was a normal plot development, and he also wanted to see what Nie Xiaoqian looked like, as in various film and television works, she was always played by top-tier beauties.

Out of trust in the aesthetic of "'love affair life'", Su Mo was very much looking forward to Nie Xiaoqian's appearance.

The second one seemed too bland.

What's the point of dedicating oneself to studying Buddhism and the cause of slaying Demons and monsters?

Is this what I play "'love affair life'" for?

Su Mo immediately gave up on it.

As for the third, it was like a mouse licking a cat's nose, purely seeking excitement.

Asking Fahai to be the officiant for him and Xiao Qing, wasn't that just seeking death?

Fahai was a monk who couldn't tolerate any impurity in his eyes.

At that time, not only would Xiao Qing be taken, but his own abilities would probably be abolished as well.

Thinking to the end, Su Mo directly chose the first option.

...

He agreed to his parents' proposal to marry Nie Xiaoqian, and for this, the Su Estate began to decorate with lanterns and colorful streamers, preparing for his wedding.

News of this quickly reached Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing. Bai Suzhen also learned that he had used Xiao Qing as a Cultivation tool and taken her primordial yin, which made her very angry.

So the two discussed and planned to snatch the bride on his wedding day as revenge.

Soon, after his family chose an auspicious day, preparations for the wedding began.

On the wedding day, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing disguised themselves as guests and hid in the house, planning to abduct Nie Xiaoqian from the bridal chamber after he had completed the wedding ceremony.

But at this moment, a piece of bad news arrived.

The sedan chair bearers ran over, saying that as they passed a bridge, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew, directly sweeping Nie Xiaoqian's sedan chair into the black river at the bottom of the bridge.

They fished for a long time but could not find Nie Xiaoqian's body.

The black river's water was turbulent and swift; by now, she might have already been swept downstream.

Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this.

They never expected such a thing to happen; it was a complete disaster!

His father, Su Donglai, sent many constables to search, and he also joined the search party, but ultimately, they found nothing; there was no trace of Nie Xiaoqian, as if she had vanished into thin air.

...

When Su Mo saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

What a pity.

He hadn't even seen her, and Nie Xiaoqian was gone.

Could it be that this "'love affair life'" also had a Destiny System?

After all, in A Chinese Ghost Story, Nie Xiaoqian was a female ghost who died young.

He hadn't heard any stories of her marrying before her death.

What a pity.

Su Mo shook his head.

He probably wouldn't get to see Nie Xiaoqian, and likely not in future simulations either, because Nie Xiaoqian wasn't a married woman, and given the nature of "'love affair life'", it wouldn't match him with non-married female characters.

At this moment, "'love affair life'" was still evolving, and the story within it was slowly unfolding.

...

With Nie Xiaoqian, the bride, gone, he, the groom, was no longer valid. His parents had no choice but to find a new candidate.

However, after this incident, a rumor spread like wildfire.

That was, because he had been a monk before, his fate had become one that brought misfortune to his wives; whoever married him would not have a good end.

The propagators of this rumor were, naturally, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.

Unable to snatch his bride, they used this method to disgust him.

Because of the rumor, even though his father was the Jiangzhe Transportation Commissioner, some good families were unwilling to marry their daughters to him.

Only some smaller, less prominent families were willing.

Seeing this, he told his parents that he currently had no need to marry and was perfectly content as he was.
