Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Enchanting Little Fox Monster vs. Justice-Obsessed Female Taoist (Part 12)
This time, Gu Shengyin recognized the way and accurately found Yuan Xiu’s house.
Yuan Xiu was chanting the Buddhist scriptures as usual, when the door was gently tapped twice.
He initially thought it was a disciple from the sect looking for him and was puzzled as to why the person wasn’t speaking, just as he saw the door crack open and a small white figure squeezed in.
He was both surprised and delighted: “Little fox benefactor?”
Upon hearing this name, Gu Shengyin paused; being called little fox benefactor didn’t sound very pleasant to her.
She huffed and puffed as she ran to Yuan Xiu’s side, and then familiarly climbed onto his lap.
Yuan Xiu watched her carefree actions with a smile.
Then Gu Shengyin once again struggled to bite the pen.
As the pen tip moved, the crooked characters “Qing Bo” finally took shape.
“Qing Bo…” Yuan Xiu repeated the name softly twice and looked at Gu Shengyin, “Is this your name?”
Gu Shengyin nodded vigorously.
Yuan Xiu gazed into her glistening eyes and couldn’t help but reach out his hand to stroke them.
“I wonder who gave you such a name…” he murmured softly.
Gu Shengyin blinked; no one had given her the name. She had known that her name was Qing Bo since she could remember.
Yuan Xiu looked at Gu Shengyin with a somewhat complex expression.
He knew very well that anyone who could enter Lotus City couldn’t possibly be an ordinary wild animal.
Even if there were, it couldn’t be this little fox.
From the first glance, Yuan Xiu knew that this was a young Monster Beast.
Being able to enter Lotus City meant being acknowledged by the Lotus Platform Sect.
However, logically speaking, he shouldn’t be too close to such a little creature. After all, even though the little fox hadn’t shape-shifted yet, her spiritual wisdom was no different from that of an average child. The little fox benefactor was just like a little girl.
As a monk, how could he get too close to her?
But looking at Gu Shengyin softly lying on him with a dependent look, Yuan Xiu felt he was overthinking it.
Qing Bo was now just like a human child; what could she understand?
As long as his mind was peaceful, why be disturbed by the myriad factors of the world?
Thus, he convinced himself to keep Gu Shengyin by his side.
Gu Shengyin quite enjoyed the feeling of quietly watching her beloved from this position.
Soon, the entire Lotus Platform Sect knew of a beautifully intelligent little fox by Uncle Yuan Xiu’s side.
That little fox was not raised by Uncle Yuan Xiu but had come from outside on her own. Every time Uncle Yuan Xiu meditated or chanted scriptures, she would lie beside him, sometimes even nodding along to the sound of the wooden fish, as if she could understand it.
Gu Shengyin quickly won the hearts of all the disciples in the Lotus Platform Sect.
People are always more tolerant of beautiful things, not to mention that Gu Shengyin’s current appearance was not only attractive but also very pure and harmless.
And during this time, Gu Shengyin learned a lot about her own beloved.
For example, Yuan Xiu, although not very old, was a disciple of the Dharma Protector Elder, Master Jing Ming, in the Lotus Platform Sect. Master Jing Ming’s generation was higher than Sect Master Mage Yuan De’s, so Yuan Xiu’s status in the Lotus Platform Sect was quite exceptional.
Yuan Xiu also had a high understanding of Buddhism, and even the Sect Master Mage Yuan De had admitted that in terms of comprehension, he was not equal to this younger brother.
Yet no one knew why, over the many years, although Uncle Yuan Xiu lived in the Lotus Platform Sect, he had never been tonsured.
So strictly speaking, Yuan Xiu was not truly a monk but rather a secular disciple of Buddhism.
