7: Section 7

【Seeing this, your parents said nothing, and could only let you be.】

【And your father, Su Donglai, wanted you to participate in the imperial examinations: three years as a Child Scholar, three years as a Provincial Scholar, and three years as a Tribute Scholar.】

【Once you became a Tribute Scholar, you could become an official.】

【With your father's connections, it was not impossible for you to become a Prefect before the age of 50.】

【At this point, what do you choose?】

【Option one: Agree to your father's proposal, focus on the imperial examinations, and bring glory to your family.】

【Option two: Reject your father's proposal, tell him you have no interest in being an official, and only wish to live a carefree life.】

【Option three: Reject your father's proposal, and at the same time, display Immortal methods before your parents, telling them that you have already Cultivated to Perfection.】

...

Looking at the three options that suddenly appeared, Su Mo pondered.

He was ready to try something different this time.

The latter two were too cliché; choosing them would just mean continuing to fight injustice and subdue Demon in the Hangzhou area, with no change to his life path.

As for the first option, he wondered what developments it might lead to.

...

【You agreed to your father's proposal and began preparing for the imperial examinations.】

【Su Donglai was very happy with your choice, and uncharacteristically got drunk that night, waking up only at noon the next day.】

【You began to abandon comprehending Buddhist scriptures and Cultivating divine Cultivation Technique, focusing instead on studying the Four Books and Five Classics in a residence near West Lake that Su Donglai arranged for you.】

【Because of your extremely keen intelligence and your previous study of Buddhist scriptures, learning these classics was effortless for you. You completed months of others' studies in just a few days. After your father, Su Donglai, personally tested you, he admitted that if you were given enough time, becoming a Jinshi would only be a matter of time.】

【On the fifth day of your peaceful study for the imperial examination, Wang Er found you and told you that with the help of Elder Fahai, all the duck feathers on his body were gone. However, Elder Fahai said that these duck feathers were caused by a Demon, so after he descended the mountain, Elder Fahai also descended the mountain.】

【This time, besides personally thanking you, Fahai also entrusted him with a message for you.】

【Fame and wealth are but fleeting illusions, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water.】

【Seemingly beautiful and magnificent, yet they vanish in an instant, unable to last.】

【A human body is hard to obtain, and the Buddha Dao is hard to hear.】

【I urge you to embark on the path of Cultivation soon, for once you lose your human form, you will face ten thousand eons of hardship!】

Chapter 8: Bai Suzhen's Secret, the one who accompanied Xu Xian daily was actually a Puppet

【Upon hearing the message Fahai sent to you, you appeared unimpressed.】

【At the same time, you told Wang Er to reply to Fahai that he needn't worry about your affairs.】

【Wang Er saw that the relationship between you two was not as harmonious as he had imagined, and then left dispiritedly.】

【That night, heavy rain fell across Hangzhou.】

【This heavy rain was not normal. You went to a pavilion near West Lake to observe the celestial phenomena, and you discovered two figures, one green and one white, moving back and forth in the clouds.】

【You recognized these two figures as Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.】

【You didn't know why these two women were not sleeping in the middle of the night, but were instead causing rain here.】

【The appearance of a golden light broke your thoughts. It was the light from Fahai's golden alms bowl, which could fix all things in the world and had a strong restraint against Demon.】

【Your Master, Fahai, was seen flying through the air, clad in a sacred kasaya, holding a Azure Dragon Zen Staff, with his golden alms bowl raised above his head, aggressively attacking the two women.】

【The two women were immediately fixed, and their bodies were severely injured, seemingly on the verge of death.】

【You guessed.】

【This must be Fahai locating the two women through the duck feathers on Wang Er's body.】

【Having had intimate contact with Xiao Qing, you couldn't bear to see the two women captured, so you unleashed the Buddhist Lion's Roar, directly shaking Fahai from his spot, and the two women gained brief freedom.】

【Fahai saw it was you, and a nameless rage surged within him.】

【He had always held a respectful attitude towards you, an Arhat Reincarnation, but being repeatedly played with, even a Buddha would get angry.】

【At this moment, Fahai decided to teach you a lesson and completely crush your unruliness.】

【So Fahai threw out his Azure Dragon Zen Staff, and the Azure Dragon Zen Staff transformed into an Azure Dragon that attacked you. You, however, remained unhurried, easily repelling the Azure Dragon.】

【And you took Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing back to your residence.】

【Fahai, seeing this, did not pursue, merely recited a Buddhist chant and returned to Jinshan Temple.】

【At this time, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing were severely injured. What do you choose?】

【Option one: Dig out the Demon cores of the two women, as a stepping stone for your entry into the Demonic Path.】

【Option two: Use your comprehended method of spirit object resonance to heal the two women, which can guide the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth for energy appeasement.】

【Option three: Imprison the two women for your daily amusement.】

...

Seeing the three options that appeared, Su Mo chose to heal the two women without hesitation.

The other two options were like a joke.

He had no tendency to abuse others.

Moreover, according to past experience, no matter how things developed, these bound love affair life characters would become his women.

Why bother with such effort?

【You chose to heal the two women.】

In the image, two figures, one green and one white, intertwined and entangled...

【During the healing process, you were surprised to find that Bai Suzhen's primal yin was still intact, meaning she had not consummated her marriage with Xu Xian.】

【This healing session lasted for three days in total.】

【Your Buddhist attainment further advanced because you absorbed Bai Suzhen's primal yin.】

【The power of all Buddhist Cultivation Technique increased.】

【After dawn on the second day, the two women's injuries had completely healed, but Bai Suzhen left immediately after recovering, seemingly unable to face you.】

【Xiao Qing did not leave, but looked at you with a resentful gaze.】

【Xiao Qing's gaze made you feel uneasy, so you changed the subject and began to ask her about her elder sister.】

【Why Bai Suzhen was married but still had her primal yin intact.】

【Xiao Qing told you that Bai Suzhen Cultivated the "Nine Heavens Profound Origin Great Dao", and the prerequisite for Cultivating this Dao was to maintain purity and not lose her primal yin.】

【And the reason she married Xu Xian was to repay a kindness.】

【The reason was that a thousand years ago, her elder sister was a rare white snake that had just awakened its spiritual intelligence. She was later caught by a snake catcher, and it was Xu Xian's previous Reincarnation who saved her.】

【Later, Bai Suzhen achieved Cultivation Perfection and gradually forgot about this matter.】

【But when she achieved Cultivation Perfection and reached the standard for Immortal Ascension, she found that she was always just a little bit short, just a little bit from being able to achieve Immortal Ascension.】

【So Bai Suzhen sought help from Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin told Bai Suzhen that the reason she was in such a situation was entirely because there was an unresolved Karma in the mortal realm.】

【This Karma was the vow of gratitude Bai Suzhen made when she was saved by Xu Xian's previous Reincarnation.】

【Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen took Xiao Qing and searched everywhere for Xu Xian's Reincarnation.】

【They searched for fifteen years in total, finally finding Xu Xian in Hangzhou.】

【At the same time, they created many coincidences, causing Xu Xian to fall in love with her and get married.】

【However, humans and Demon are different, and due to the Cultivation Technique Bai Suzhen Cultivated, she could not break her body. Therefore, Bai Suzhen made a Puppet, and the one who slept and was intimate with Xu Xian was merely a Puppet.】

【You felt somewhat novel after learning about this, as you had never encountered such unorthodox Spell before, and you never expected that a small Puppet could achieve such an effect.】

【So you wanted to learn these unorthodox Spell from Xiao Qing.】

【Although Xiao Qing agreed to your request, she also made a demand: to become your accompanying book attendant and live with you.】

【Xiao Qing had always yearned for human life and wanted to experience the mundane world.】

【At this point, what do you choose?】

【Option one: Drive Xiao Qing away, claiming that you only want to read now and pass the imperial examinations early to bring glory to your family.】

【Option two: Tell Xiao Qing that you are a monk and are not keen on matters of men and women, and that taking her primal yin was merely for the purpose of Cultivating your Buddhist attainment.】

【Option three: Keep Xiao Qing, but require her to wear book attendant clothes daily and not expose her identity in front of outsiders.】

Looking at the three options that appeared.

Su Mo directly chose the third one.

Wasn't this what he liked about playing love affair life?

Especially since the image could be zoomed in and out.

He even knew how many moles Madam Huang had on her body.

Thinking of this.

Su Mo sighed softly.

What a pity.

These were ultimately just virtual. Tomorrow morning, he would have to go back to his daily busy life.

And Madam Huang.

Forget looking.

Even thinking about her was a sin.

...

【You agreed.】

【Xiao Qing was very happy.】

【From then on, a lively green figure was added to your study.】

In the image.

Xiao Qing, dressed in thin gauze, occasionally leaned on Su Mo's shoulder while he was reading.

Now that she had tasted the sweetness.

She still wanted to experience that joy.

...

【You did not want to indulge Xiao Qing in her indulgence, merely providing her with three meals a day, and occasionally a late-night snack as a reward when you were in a good mood.】

【And you also learned unorthodox Spell such as paper crafting, Puppet making, and Five Ghosts transporting wealth.】

【Bai Suzhen had been troubled ever since she left last time. She didn't understand why you, an Arhat Reincarnation, would have such a dissolute character.】

【Your Buddhist attainment compensated for her shortcomings. Although she lost her primal yin, she could still achieve Cultivation Perfection and it would not affect her Immortal Ascension.】

【Now, seeing that Xiao Qing hadn't returned for over a month, she couldn't help but want to visit and see what Xiao Qing's situation was.】

Chapter 9: Devoted to Studying Buddhist Dao, Returning to Jinshan Temple

【Xiao Qing was very happy to see her elder sister arrive and shared her life experiences during this period with Bai Suzhen.】

【Because her Cultivation was too shallow now, she didn't have much shame regarding normal human male-female relations, and her detailed descriptions of you and her made Bai Suzhen blush.】

【Bai Suzhen was relieved to see Xiao Qing was fine, so she prepared to leave.】

【At this point, what do you choose?】

【Option one: Ask Bai Suzhen to stay, have a meal before leaving, and apologize for the previous incident.】

【Option two: Follow Bai Suzhen after she leaves, secretly protecting her safety and preventing your Master, Fahai, from finding Bai Suzhen again.】

【Option three: Follow Bai Suzhen back to her home, forcibly make Xu Xian divorce Bai Suzhen, and take possession of Bai Suzhen...】
