Demon! Demon! Meow!
The sun was setting in the west, the afterglow of dusk was devoid of warmth, and a cold wind howled.
The New Year had just passed, and apart from the Taoist priests, there were basically no tourists at Longhu Mountain. Only young girls dressed in warm Taoist robes were sweeping the steps with brooms in their hands.
The cold wind made the girl's cheeks flushed red, and her hands were icy cold. She would occasionally stop to breathe on them to warm them, but her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of determination.
Senior Brother Xuanqing has left, and Zhao Xin has also returned to the Taoist temple. She needs to learn to be stronger and stop being so socially anxious and introverted.
But when will Senior Brother Xuanqing return?
"Miaoyu, there's still some snow here," a female voice called out.
“You’re here,” Miaoyu replied.
The stairs are very long, and usually several people are assigned to sweep them separately. However, because Miaoyu is socially anxious and introverted, she is not good at refusing others, so she always receives special "attention".
When the ordinary-looking female Taoist saw Miaoyu approaching, she pointed to the snow on the steps and said, "Miaoyu, the snow here hasn't been swept clean yet."
The voice was calm, yet it contained a sharp and sarcastic edge.
Clearly, the female Taoist priest was deliberately making things difficult for Miaoyu.
“But…” Miaoyu looked at the snow on the steps, her soft voice trailing off.
But this isn't the area I was supposed to clean!
Miaoyu wanted to say that, but the words came out as a soft "Mmm," and she silently swept the snow off the steps.
"Thank you for your help. It's too cold outside, I'll head back now." With that, the female Taoist priest hurriedly left.
Miaoyu looked up at the departing female Taoist priest, then silently swept the snow off the steps again. Her eyes welled up with tears, but she gently bit her lip and did not shed a tear.
Senior Brother Xuanqing said I need to overcome social anxiety and introversion, but I don't know how! I also wonder how Master's New Year went? And what about Senior Brother Xuanqing?
Miaoyu could go home for the New Year, but due to her social anxiety, she chose to stay at Longhu Mountain.
Just then, a large hand grasped the broom, and a familiar yet gentle voice rang in the girl's ear: "Let me do it."
The girl looked up and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Senior Brother Xuanqing?
At this moment, the mist in the girl's eyes became hazy, and finally, large tears streamed down her face. She spoke tremulously, her voice still soft and gentle: "Senior Brother Xuanqing."
"I'm sorry, I promised my uncle I would take care of you." Li Dao gently wiped away the girl's tears, his gentle voice conveying apology.
"No, no, my senior brother has taken good care of me." Miaoyu shook her head.
Li Dao remained silent.
Although the girl said that, the tears on her cheeks proved everything.
A brief silence fell over the air.
"You swept most of the steps by yourself?" Li Dao looked up at the mountaintop, only to see several people sweeping snow in the distance, and the Taoist priests sweeping snow below were also far away.
"Mmm," Miaoyu murmured softly.
Li Dao glanced at the uneasy girl and tentatively asked, "Did they ask you to sweep them? Tell the truth, otherwise I wouldn't be your senior brother."
Miaoyu gripped the broom tightly, her slender, fair fingers gradually turning purple.
Because of nervousness.
"Mmm." Unable to withstand the pressure, Miaoyu let out a soft nasal sound.
"Very good!" Li Dao laughed, his powerful blood and qi surging within him, even melting the snow on the surrounding steps into water.
"It's so warm." Miaoyu felt that her senior brother Xuanqing was like a furnace, warm and cozy, making her want to take a good nap.
But the next second, Senior Brother Xuanqing's voice rang out: "Let's go, follow Senior Brother up the mountain."
"But, but I haven't finished my task yet..." Miaoyu whispered.
"Mission? To hell with mission! If I don't stand up for you today, I'll wear this Taoist robe for good." Li Dao's voice was furious, like a tiger in the mountains.
Click! !
Then, Li Dao crushed the broom and pulled Miaoyu up the mountain.
Chapter 56: Putting the Facts Out of the Way? (Seeking First Subscription!)
The summit of Longhu Mountain is covered in snow, with snow-capped treetops, magnificent palaces, and snow-covered corners.
Two figures, a man and a woman, ascended to the top.
The man was handsome and refined, his thin Taoist robe fluttering in the cold wind, his hair tied up and wearing a crown, like a banished immortal descending to earth.
Although the woman was beautiful and had excellent looks, she was merely pretty, not strikingly so. Her simple and silly appearance was more endearing than anything else.
"Miaoyu, why did you come up here? Have you finished your mission?" Just as the two reached the top, a slightly sarcastic female voice came over.
"Not yet, Senior Sister Zhu," Miaoyu replied softly.
Li Dao looked in the direction of the voice and saw an ordinary-looking female Taoist priest.
"No? Then why don't you go back and keep sweeping? Oh? Where did you find your boyfriend? He's quite handsome..."
boom! !
Before the female Taoist priest surnamed Zhu could finish speaking, Li Dao instantly appeared in front of her, crushing her head with his five fingers. Warm blood splattered all around, but his Taoist robe remained completely unstained.
boom!
The headless female corpse fell straight to the ground, and soon a pool of blood appeared on the ground.
"Master, Master, Senior Brother... Ugh!" Miaoyu had never seen a bloody scene before. Her face turned pale instantly, her legs trembled slightly, and she even started to dry heave.
Senior Brother Xuanqing, he... he killed someone? No, he killed someone because of me! What should I do?!
"Relax, you'll get used to it," Li Dao said calmly.
Killing someone is difficult the first time, but the second time is no different from killing a chicken.
"But, but senior brother, you, you killed someone." Miaoyu stopped vomiting, her beautiful face was pale, like a flower about to wither.
“Yes, I killed someone, so you have to go up and kick him a couple of times too, that way we'll both be accomplices,” Li Dao chuckled.
Miaoyu's delicate body trembled as her gaze swept back and forth between the corpse and her senior brother. Finally, she bit her lip and walked towards the headless female corpse surnamed Zhu.
If her senior brother was willing to kill for her, what reason did she have to back down? She'd rather die with him!
Li Dao reached out and pulled the stiff-bodied girl back, saying gently, "Alright, I was just teasing you. Let's go find those who bullied you."
Miaoyu did not move.
Li Dao stepped forward and took a look, only to find that the girl's already pale face had turned even paler, and her entire delicate body had stiffened on the spot.
"Master, senior brother, my legs are weak and I have no strength left," Miaoyu said in a voice barely audible.
Helpless, Li Dao picked up the girl's stiff body and said gently, "Point me in a direction, and I'll avenge you."
"Senior brother, can you please not kill anyone? I'm afraid you'll go to jail." Miaoyu gripped her senior brother's clothes tightly.
"Yes, senior brother, please go easy on me," Li Dao smiled.
Miaoyu's watery eyes were glazed over, and her little face looked completely bewildered.
Senior brother, that's not what I meant.
"There," Miaoyu pointed in the direction.
Li Dao nodded, and his figure disappeared from the scene.
I didn't pay much attention to the headless female corpse from beginning to end.
As the two left, Angel Ying slowly descended, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and immediately snapped her fingers. With a hum, the corpse suddenly burst into flames.
"You acted swiftly," Angel Ying chuckled.
After the corpse had burned to ashes, Angel Yingru walked through the deserted area and, based on the information provided by the dark data, headed towards where Li Dao lived.
Following the direction Miaoyu pointed out, Li Dao found the person in no time.
The two female Taoist priests chatted together, which saved a lot of time.
"Is it them?" Li Dao asked.
"Hmm." Miaoyu nodded, turning her face to the other side, not wanting to see her senior brother killing someone.
From the first time I witnessed a murder until now, my heart is still pounding.
When the two female Taoist priests saw someone barge in, they immediately looked over and saw that it was a handsome Taoist priest. Their hearts started pounding for no reason.
But when they caught a glimpse of Miaoyu out of the corner of their eye, they immediately felt displeased.
"Oh? Miaoyu, have you finished shoveling the snow at the foot of the mountain? You're already running off to seduce your senior brother? You have no shame." A female Taoist said sarcastically.
"She has the face of a vixen, who knows how many people she has seduced?" another female Taoist priest chimed in.
"I, I didn't." Miaoyu couldn't help but turn her face away and retort, her face so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and her ears were the same, but not out of shyness, but out of anger and shame.
I didn't seduce my senior brother!
I simply like my senior brother; that's why I didn't actively seduce him!
Li Dao raised an eyebrow, then moved.
In an instant, Li Dao arrived in front of the female Taoist who had spoken, reached out, grabbed her throat with his five fingers, and gently lifted her up, while his other hand embraced the girl's waist.
"Your words are too harsh. You bullied my junior sister while I was away. You deserve to die." Li Dao's voice was icy cold.
"You..." The female Taoist priest next to her was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
"Uh... cough, shouldn't you think about why we bullied her instead of others?" The female Taoist priest tried to reason with her.
very good!
Li Dao laughed. Classic! Absolutely classic!
"Then you should also think about why I pinched you but not her," Li Dao said with a light laugh.
The voice was like the murmur of the Taoist patriarch.
Oh no, it's the whisper of the King of Hell!
