Before coming to JZ Normal University, I spent all my time with my perverted master. Not only did I have to take care of his daily needs, but I also had to diligently practice. The only women I interacted with were the landlady of the Village Inn.
However, since arriving at JZ Normal University, my social circle has expanded significantly. At the same time, I have met many sisters with different personalities and unique qualities.
There is Lin Miaomiao with her youthful energy, Wang Ni who is fiery and bold, and Jin who is cold as ice. There is also Qu who is sweet and charming, Huan who is gluttonous and clingy, and Boss Lady Ah Wan who is enchanting. Oh, and there’s Xia Liyi from the Archaeologist team. Xia Liyi has a more complex personality, but our encounter was brief; we don’t even know if we will meet again.
If I had to choose one sister among those I know who would be impossible to connect with me, it would have to be the person standing right in front of me—Luan!
Some may be confused by this name; who is Luan? Has she appeared in this book? Many might not even remember her.
At the Red Bean Love Noodle Shop, besides Boss Lady Ah Wan, there’s a waitress named Qu who runs errands in the shop. When I returned, I found a panda that transformed into a sister who also works at Red Bean Affection. However, in a corner of Red Bean Affection, there’s another sister who doesn’t stand out much. She doesn’t talk much and isn’t often seen in the noodle shop; her presence is very low-key. That’s Luan, the cashier at Red Bean Love Noodle Shop!
As for Boss Lady Ah Wan, she definitely has a story. First of all, she should know my master’s identity. Secondly, even within Tushan, when mentioning the landlady's name, most Fox Spirits show a sense of reverence. Moreover, being able to run a shop under Uncle Xing’s watchful eye without ever interacting with him suggests that Uncle Xing likely cannot control her. Such a person must have a story.
However, even Boss Lady Ah Wan's attitude towards this cashier sister is quite strange. First, the landlady never instructs Luan on anything. Secondly, every time the landlady does accounts, she discusses them with Luan. Of course, what they are calculating isn’t related to Red Bean Love Noodle Shop’s finances; it seems to involve matters concerning red beans and fate. As a Red Thread Fairy, it’s puzzling that the landlady consults Luan about these matters—Luan is definitely not an ordinary person or spirit!
Of course, I never expected her to be my support. After over a hundred chapters, I’ve hardly heard her speak more than ten sentences.
Luan looks completely different from her usual appearance. She never wears makeup at Red Bean Affection and always dresses very conservatively while speaking very little. Thus, Luan has a very low presence in my eyes; I never anticipated that my future self—who is now me—would be saved by her.
"How could it be you? Where's Niu Hong?" Niu Hong is the name of Red Boy in the human realm; it's one of my naming struggles.
"This is a matter between our kind; Red Boy is no longer suitable to get involved," Luan replied calmly.
Thinking about it carefully, Luan makes sense. Although Red Boy is the son of Bull Demon King and Iron Fan Princess and holds a top-tier status among spirits, he has now converted to Buddhism and become a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to continue getting involved in spirit affairs. No wonder Uncle Xing usually assigns him tasks related to Evil Cultivators or ghosts; clearly, he had already arranged for this situation. Someone must have reminded him; otherwise, given Uncle Xing's mindset, it would be nearly impossible for him to think of this on his own.
"How many can you handle?" I asked tentatively. From her demeanor earlier, it seemed Luan was quite capable.
"I can't say for others, but these few are no problem; I can tie them up hand and foot," Luan said confidently.
"Is it really that crazy? Binding both hands and feet? Are you planning to take them down for good? This seems a bit too difficult, doesn't it?" But Luan didn't say anything; instead, she represented everything with her actions.
A powerful aura emanated from Luan, slowly enveloping the entire area. From this momentum, I felt a vast and expansive sensation. Moreover, this feeling was somewhat familiar, as if I had experienced it somewhere before. That's right! Suddenly, I had a flash of insight and remembered! When I was at the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, I had felt this kind of aura while observing the Eight Treasures Marvelous Tree (I just recalled that Subhuti actually held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, but let's go with it for now; after all, I'm the Bodhi Patriarch, not Subhuti. Aren't updates allowed?). At that time, I had sensed this kind of momentum during the extreme Wind Walk.
What I saw then was the Golden-Winged Peng Bird soaring straight up for ninety thousand miles. However, the aura of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird was different from what Luan was exuding now. The Golden-Winged Peng Bird gave me a feeling of sharpness and relentless advance, while Luan's presence conveyed more of a serene clarity.
However, the others seemed to feel differently; they appeared to be bearing an immense weight. The five of them were already sweating profusely, droplets falling down.
Although I sensed the enormity of this aura, I felt no pressure at all. Could it be that only they were under such heavy pressure? No, Pixiu also seemed unaffected; despite still lying on its back in a rather pitiful manner, it showed no signs of discomfort. However, Pixiu's gradually whitening eyes should indicate a lack of oxygen.
"Walk a few more rooms inside; Shaoming should be in there. But let me give you a heads-up: there's another very powerful aura inside, so it's up to you to handle it," Shaoming said as he released his own aura. "I'll take care of things here; you take Pixiu with you."
"Can you really handle it?" I looked at Luan skeptically.
"Should I go save Shaoming while you deal with these guys?" Luan shot me a glance with an expression akin to looking at an idiot. "I have no objections."
"Forget it, heroine; take care." I quickly grabbed one of Pixiu's legs and dragged it away from this troublesome place.
Using my Wakizashi, I cut the ropes binding Pixiu. It took quite some time for Pixiu to finally catch its breath.
Luan and Shaoming were in the room further inside; hearing this made me feel much more at ease. At least having some information was far better than stumbling around blindly. But Luan also reminded me that there was still a powerful aura inside, meaning there would be another tough battle ahead.
I rummaged through my Seed Bag and pulled out a few Yellow Talismans, drawing several Fire Talismans. At least with Talisman Magic, I could gain some advantage; if I didn't hurry to replenish my ammunition, how would I fight later?
"What happened to you?" I asked Pixiu, who had just recovered. "How did you get caught so easily by those guys?"
"Damn it," Pixiu grumbled indignantly. "They used a Taser on me."
They still use Taser, these people are quite trendy.
Having drawn the Fire Talisman, I also completed the Seal under my tongue; after all, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of firewood!
"Do you still have strength?" I asked Pixiu.
"What do you want to do?" Pixiu flipped over and finally managed to stand up.
"When I close the door, you just go straight for the bite."
"Are you letting the dog out?"
"Pretty much."
I deliberately chatted with Pixiu for a bit to lighten the mood; otherwise, it was getting a bit too oppressive.
I still didn't know how to fight later. If it doesn't work out, I might as well call Diviner. Weak can be Weak for a while; after all, I still have Pixiu with me, so I shouldn't need to be afraid.
However, summoning a deity carries significant risks. What if the deity I summon is as weak as I am?
That would be easy.
Preparations were almost complete. According to the instructions, to save Shaoming, we need to go deeper inside.
The further I went in, the more familiar the decor seemed. Isn't this just the decor of ‘Drunken Hero’? It seems we never really left that building of ‘Drunken Hero’.
However, unlike downstairs, this should be an office area. As I walked, I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
I saw something very familiar in one of the offices.
There should be no one in the office. I peeked inside and confirmed it was empty, then quietly walked in and grabbed some items from the desk before leaving.
Now I felt a bit more confident about the upcoming battle, not for any other reason, but because of the few items I had just retrieved.
What I took from the office were three slender objects without handles. Wasn't this the Flying Sword that they had taken from me before? Now that I had the Flying Sword back, I felt much more at ease.
Among my methods, the ' Three Talents Sword Formation' still had the highest attack power, so with the Flying Sword in hand, I felt significantly more secure.
Damn it, this path was quite long. At the end of it stood a large door that looked extremely heavy.
The door wasn't locked. I pushed it hard with my hand but couldn't get it to budge.
Taking a few steps back, I kicked it forcefully.
With a loud "crash!" the door let out a terrible sound before finally swinging open.
The Flying Sword floated behind me, ready to strike at any moment, but the scene inside left me momentarily stunned.
With a clatter, all of my Flying Swords fell to the ground behind me.
