Chapter Thirty-One: Similarity

  Zhen only felt the water vapor start to condense, and thought to herself: No need for magic, it seems like these two are indeed true dragons! They're just pitiful when they cry.

  The originally clear sky suddenly gathered dark clouds, and a torrential rain poured down from the sky.

  Xu Xian's head hurt and he scolded loudly. Xiao Li argued with him, crying even louder. Bai Suzhen glared at Xu Xian and said softly, "She's still a child!" Then she bent down to comfort Xiao Li gently.

  Xu Xian smiled wryly in his heart, this seemed to be his line. Usually when he and Pan Yu were together, weren't they the upright images protecting little Loli? How did it become the villain's appearance now.

  It's strange to say that the big cry that even Xu Xian couldn't stop gradually subsided. Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian while whispering something in Ao Li's ear, and Ao Li shook her head stubbornly. Bai Suzhen just looked at her with a serious expression. Ao Li nodded and turned to face Xu Xian softly saying

  "Sorry!"

  Xu Xian couldn't help but admire him, coaxing children was something he thought he was already an expert at, didn't expect there to be a master level, no, a grandmaster level. Being able to make Xiaoli not cry in this situation is already master level, being able to make her apologize requires the skill of a grandmaster!

  Bai Suzhen asked in a soft voice, "Xu Gongzi, who is this child to you?" She was very curious about how Xu Xian could be with a rare true dragon and seemed to be quite close.

  "Big sister, I'm called Ao Li!"

  Xu Xian cast a sideways glance at her, feeling extremely displeased in his heart: You've never been so obedient with me before. I treated you to so many things and all I got was "Xu Xian" this and "Xu Xian" that being shouted out randomly. Someone just spoke a few words to you and already they're calling you "sister"?

  Aoli also stared back at Xian with wide eyes, and for a moment, big eyes stared at small eyes.

  Xu Xian replied to Bai Suzhen, "I have nothing to do with this guy!" while narrowing his eyes slightly, as if gathering his gaze. Ao Li immediately countered, "Who would want to be with you?"

  "Relationship? Ha! Xian is a big bad egg, a big pervert!"

  That loud "pervert" made Xiao Qing giggle and almost caused Xu Xian to fall over.

  Bai Suzhen thought it was interesting, and smiled as she helped her wipe her face, saying: "Ao Li Jiao, I'll talk to your father!" But for a moment, she didn't know where to start, whether to ask about his background or something else. She just couldn't directly ask if he had a wife and children at home, and besides, girls' families always had to...

  Maintain some dignity, even if you want to repay him like that, you can't let him look down on yourself.

  The benefactor who has been searched for everywhere is right in front of her eyes. She can repay his life-saving kindness with her own clean body, which should be enough! After a few years of husband-and-wife relationship, she may even give birth to a dragon son for him. At that time, she can leave

  Mortal dust, ranked among the immortal class. Alas, although it's a bit ruthless, worldly marriages are sometimes fleeting anyway, and compared to a thousand years of cultivation, it's nothing. Moreover, when the time comes, I'll just tell him to remarry someone else and leave.

  She thought to herself, occasionally sinking deep into thought, and her face would slightly flush. However, she overestimated her determination in cultivation and underestimated the kindness of her heart. If she were truly wise, there wouldn't be any catastrophic consequences, and she wouldn't have buried the seeds of disaster. If she could truly renounce emotions, she wouldn't have been reluctant to leave when it was time, only to be captured by Fahai and suffer the evil consequences of being trapped under the Leifeng Pagoda.

  When I'm out of the situation, I still can't bear to think about it. Let alone when she's trapped in the midst of it, how can she be expected to...

  It's all because she is Bai Suzhen!

  The demon repays kindness with his body is nothing but a common occurrence in books. The final result is nothing more than three years later,

  Speak out the cause and effect, say a word that our fate has come to an end, and then leave without hesitation, not staying for a moment. But as a cultivator, she didn't have the decisiveness of a cultivator, and as a demon, she didn't have the ruthlessness of a demon

  Cruel.

  Who can blame? But also because of this, in the past thousand years, there will be people who remember.

  This name!

  The gathered water vapor hasn't dispersed so quickly, the spring rain isn't as big as it was just now, but it's still drizzling down, pattering on the boat awning. The people in the boat listened to this sound of the rain and all started thinking!

  Aoli sat silently on one side, staring at Xu Xian with her big round eyes. Xu Xian thought of himself as a cultivated adult and wouldn't engage in a staring contest with her, but he completely forgot about his own...

  What is Zhou doing!

  Ao Li thought it was boring and turned his head to look at Bai Suzhen, suddenly feeling that they looked alike.

  It's just that she was sulking with Xu Xian, so she deliberately didn't say that in her heart, she felt delighted. In fact, from their appearance, the two didn't look alike at all, but Ao Li saw a similar light in their eyes, a warm and gentle light.

  This feeling originally belongs to all living things, and humans are supposed to be the most sensitive.

  People are often confused by various empty words and superficial appearances, unable to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, good and evil, loyalty and treachery. In this chaotic world, they gradually lose their innate abilities.

  The dragon is different, as the earliest of all things, wandering in rivers, lakes and seas, still retaining this innate gift. Ao Li accepted Xu Xian, not just because he ate a little food from him

  It's not the material things, but rather the kindness and warmth felt from him that makes one want to get close. Otherwise, if someone thinks they can win over a dragon with just a few buns, they'll probably end up being eaten as an extra course.

  Xu Xian suddenly said to Xiao Qing, "Miss, I think I've seen you somewhere before?" He naturally knew Xiao Qing's true identity, and was just considering whether or not to expose her.

  Xiao Qing was startled in her heart and forced a smile: "But I've never seen you before, young master!"

  Xu Xian saw that she was unwilling to mention it, so he didn't say anything and just said: "Maybe I remembered it wrong."

  Xiao Qing finally let out a sigh of relief and thought: You didn't recognize me earlier, why didn't you say so? It got this girl all confused.

  I've been worried for so long. Well, it's also expected that on that dark night, I deliberately disguised myself, how could I be recognized so easily? Putting down my worries, I suddenly felt much more at ease and said: "Young Master Xu, this cabin is narrow and inconvenient, what do you think we should do?"

  Bai Suzhen glared at her and then smiled at Xu Xian: "It doesn't matter!"

  Xu Xian sighed and shook his head. Now that they could meet, was he afraid there wouldn't be enough time to resolve the matter? Moreover, he also feared having any further physical contact with her, as the feeling really wasn't pleasant. He got up and walked out of the cabin, without an umbrella by his side. Xu Xian simply stood in the rain, not casting a spell to shield himself, letting the raindrops fall on him.

  After getting wet on his body, he felt much more relaxed. He didn't feel it in the cabin, but now he realized that he had unconsciously become restrained just now, which was really not like himself.

  Bai Suzhen furrowed her brow and said resentfully: "Xiao Qing, you're really something, how could you drive someone away like that?

  "Look, it's windy and rainy outside, and he doesn't even have an umbrella. Alas, what can I say to him!"

  Ao Li clapped and cheered, but when she saw Bai Su Zhen looking over, she quickly lowered her head and said: "Sister, I'm tired, going to rest!" She went to the back of the boat, dove into the water, but there was no sound of waves.

  Xiao Qing felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart, but she put on a wronged expression and said: "Indeed, it's not very convenient, is it?"

  "Could it be that sister still wants to be like just now?" Bai Suzhen's face turned red and she slightly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you go back and must honestly tell me, you definitely have seen this Mr. Xu before."

  Little Qing stuck out her tongue and said: "Sister, you've seen this immortal permit, but you've forgotten your own benefactor"

  "Let's hurry up and get off the boat to find your benefactor!" She didn't want her sister to know about her embarrassing situation.

  Thing!

  At this time, Boss suddenly said loudly: "There is an old saying in our line of work, ten years of cultivation can be the same as crossing a boat"

  A hundred years of cultivation can be shared in a bed. We are all on the same boat, how can we drive others out to suffer from wind and rain?

  He himself could sit safely in his cabin." But it was Xian who braved the rain to avenge him.

  Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed with a hint of thought: "Ten years of cultivation can share the same boat, a hundred years of cultivation can share the same pillow!" Is this heaven again borrowing the old man's mouth to remind me?

  She smiled at Xiao Qing and said, "Maybe he's my benefactor, let me think about it!" But in her heart, she hoped so. This wasn't because she had any feelings for Xu Xian, but rather that among the people she had met, those who weren't drunkards or gluttons were usually mediocre, and someone like Xu Xian was truly hard to come by. Repaying kindness to such a person also felt pleasant!

  Xiao Qing said: "Then you calculate it, sister!" But in her heart, she thought: It can't be that coincidental, right?!

  Only Bai Suzhen furrowed her brow, closed her eyes, and intertwined her slender fingers. A faint white light flickered at the tips of her fingers and between her eyebrows for a few moments. Her eyes then pierced through the veil of time, gazing at the cause and effect that had been passed down for thousands of years. Generation after generation, the scenes unfolded before her, but there were vast blank spaces in between, shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern what Xian had done in that particular life.

  Swiftly and decisively, he swept past this place, and finally a face matched the one in his mind.

  A little shepherd boy riding a water buffalo and playing a horizontal flute was wandering in the mountains. She smiled with surprise and said, "It's really him!"

  Xiao Qing exclaimed in surprise: "Really such a coincidence?!"

  Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "It was predestined long ago, what's the point of being clever or not?" The person she had been searching for so long had finally been found, her heart overflowing with joy, and she couldn't help but tie her white hands to his black hair.

  Xiao Qing couldn't help but think of the night she was defeated by her sister, the first time she heard her sister mention repaying kindness.

  "When I was young, I once asked: 'If someone had saved my life, should I repay them?'"

  Sister said: "Of course, if you don't let go of worldly grievances and grudges, your heart will be burdened, and it's hard to achieve a good outcome."

  Xiao Qing thought to herself: Xu Xian saved my life in the Qi Wang Fu, so he's considered a benefactor of mine. But then again, he also bullied me there, how should I calculate this? Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, the favor is always a bit more. However, if she wants me to repay her kindness, she'll have to get rid of this grudge first.

  So I thought about how to get my sister to help me bully Xu Xian a bit, with my sister's magical powers, Xu Xian would definitely not be a match! As it turned out, Xu Xian was actually my sister's benefactor, what can you do?!

  Bai Suzhen saw Xiao Qing's distracted appearance and asked strangely: "Xiao Qing, what's wrong with you?"

  Xiao Qing hastily waved her hand and said, "Sister, I'm happy for you! I'll invite Mr. Xu in right away, so you can ask him whatever you want!" Since he was her sister's benefactor, she naturally wanted to help her sister fulfill her own wishes. As for Jiang Yu's own jumbled thoughts, she couldn't care about them anymore.

  "Master Xu, it's raining heavily outside, come in!"

  Xu Xian didn't decline either, and walked in with a big smile, only sitting a bit further away. In his heart, he was silently thinking.

  The road: What's coming will come anyway. Entering the cabin and taking a look, he said, "Ao Li has already left!"

  Bai Suzhen knew that he was the benefactor she had been searching for, and her words became more respectful. She asked: "Does Master Xu know the identity of that child?"

  Xu Xian smiled and said: "I know, she is the Dragon King of this lake. I even met her grandfather at Chibi in the Yangtze River!"

  The two women's mouths were slightly ajar in surprise at the same time. They had both heard of Chang Jiang Shui Jun's great name, but they never thought that Xue Li would have such a grandfather. Bai Su Zhen leaned forward and asked again: "Really?"

  "Is it Dragon King Qiankun?"

  Xu Xian thought for a moment and said, "It should be, Ao Li's father was once the Yellow River Dragon King."

  Bai Suzhen lowered her head and muttered under her breath, "It's really that family after all!" But she didn't expect

  Arrived, Ao Li unexpectedly had such a background, true dragon is rarely seen

  "Talla's call was not small. Only this family has controlled the rise and fall of the world's water veins, presenting six, two owed four rivers, but its esteemed position is absolutely incomparable to that of the Dragon King in the sea. Moreover, Chong Kun is also the oldest among the current dragon clan."

  How did Xian Yu get involved with Ao Li again and dare to scold her like a child? She saw that

  Although Ao Li and Xu Xian had a falling out, she was undoubtedly extremely trusted and even close to him. To herself

  Although she was very close to her, she didn't suspect that if she had a conflict with Xu Xian, Ao Li would stand on Xu Xian's side without hesitation.

  She was deep in thought, and Xu Xian asked in surprise: "Miss, how did you know the true name of Ao Li's grandfather again?" He had forgotten to ask Long Jun's name last time at Chibi, but he didn't expect Bai Suzhen to say it out loud.

  It's no wonder you've been practicing for a thousand years!

  Bai Suzhen was taken aback for a moment, and her face turned slightly red. She wasn't good at lying, and at first, she didn't...

  Think of a way to tell En Ren about your true identity. You can't just say you're a thousand-year-old snake demon!

  He was scared away.

  He may not care about the identity of Orochi, because the dragon itself is supreme and revered by people. The meaning of the dragon is god rather than demon, which was decided from the moment the dragon was born. On the other hand, monsters are hated and feared by people, so they need to be subdued, driven out or even executed.

  It must be hidden.

  "It's just your ignorance! The thing used for worshiping the Dragon King of the Yangtze River is precisely this"

  "What's in a name? Go take a look at the Dragon King Temple along the Yangtze River, which one doesn't have this name written on it?"

  "That's also true!" said Xu Xian. His question was just out of curiosity and didn't carry any interrogative tone.

  "Then, changing the subject, he asked: 'May I ask your surname and given name, miss?' After inquiring about her name..."

  Then they can slowly reveal each other's identities and then find a way to set her free.

  Bai Suzhen let out a sigh of relief, but hesitated again, unsure of how to respond. The three words "Bai Suzhen" were easy to answer, but if the other person asked about her background, what should she say? She felt somewhat embarrassed and said: "This... Xiaoqing, you speak for me!" Xiaoqing was extremely skilled at making up nonsense.

  Xu Xian asked, "Do you need someone else to speak up for a name?"

  But then Xiao Qing said: "Mr. Xu, my young lady's name is Bai Suzhen, and she lives in Jincheng, Sichuan."

  The city, the old master was once the general town. Now that the two elders have passed away, the young lady has no one to rely on, so she came to Hangzhou to seek refuge with relatives. As a result, the refuge did not succeed, and now she is temporarily staying at Qingbo Gate.

  Bai Suzhen's big eyes were filled with a smile, and she glanced at Xiao Qing with appreciation.

  Xu Xian was speechless for a moment, I just wanted to ask about the name, but you came up with such a big lie.

  Come on, I'm really convinced now.

  Xiao Qing said: "I am the young lady's maid, called Xiao Qing. Today I accompanied the young lady to enjoy the spring scenery, just then

  "We saw Xugongzi defeat the cheating merchant and it was really satisfying!"

  Xia Xian was at a loss for words for a moment, after all, he couldn't expose someone's lie to their face.

  He said with a smile, "I also dare to do so because I have learned some mysterious skills." == Disappearing Grass: In the future, I will also participate in updating this book. Thank you.

  Bai Suzhen asked curiously, "Xuānmén spells? No wonder you can be friends with the dragon. I wonder who taught you." She was also a Xuānmén practitioner and had some interest in this. However, she didn't take it too seriously. After all, there were countless people in the world who knew Xuānmén spells, but true practitioners were rare. Therefore, these spells were at most just a means of making a living, not much different from medicine or divination.

  Xu Xian said in his heart: I've been waiting for you to ask this question. Then he said, "I learned the Dharma from Master Fahai of Lingyin Temple, and I'll call him my master!"

  Bai Suzhen thought for a moment and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. How did Fahai end up here?

  And he is actually Fa Hai's disciple.

  It's over, it's over. The feud a thousand years ago was between three people. The Bodhisattva had her come not just to repay kindness, but also to settle the score.

  In fact, she and Fahai should have been blameless, but 700 years ago she stole the relic of Fahai's spirit.

  Six pills, enough to rival six hundred years of Dao cultivation, and she also relied on these six pills to have her current level of Dao cultivation.

  Although Fa Hai had been a snake catcher and wanted to bring her to death, it was considered a grievance. However, she also understood that using 600 years of Taoist practice to avenge a grudge was somewhat excessive. At that time, she was also young and impulsive, with greedy thoughts in her heart. If she had only taken one or half of the spiritual pills instead of swallowing them all at once, there wouldn't be this trouble today.

  But she didn't regret it, nor did she have much room for regret, when faced with the elixir that could save her hundreds of years of effort, and it was something from her arch-nemesis, who would easily give up?

  She is also not afraid of Fahai, with her magical powers, Fahai thinks it's not that easy to catch her.

  Xu Xian saw her thoughtful appearance and said, "I recently got married, and there are still people waiting for me to eat at home! Today I'll take my leave of the two ladies." After speaking, he loudly said, "Old man, please head towards the Yongdingmen dock!"

  Xu Xian spoke, his eyes never leaving Bai Suzhen's face, his eyelashes casting a shadow on his large and dark eyes. It reminded him of the willows by the lake, their black and hazy shadows cast in the green water, her furrowed brow as she pondered, just like the poem said "a ripple on the pool", full of gentle and soft beauty.

  Xu Xian thought to himself: No matter what form the repayment of kindness takes, no matter what kind of outcome the grudge will have. Although I almost wanted to do so, but I, in the end, didn't deceive you about anything!
