Chapter 120: Chapter 94: Don’t Mention Comparing with Daoist Priest Fan, Even His Ox Is Better! (Seeking First Subscription)_3

Ah, this...

It was somewhat awkward.

"Thank you so much, Daoist Priest Fan, for saving my life again!" Yun Jiuqing didn’t know how to express her gratitude to Fan Wu; she felt she owed him several lives and had no idea how to repay him.

Especially for a powerful person like Daoist Priest Fan, talking about money seemed too vulgar, and he might not even care for status.

Someone of Daoist Priest Fan’s high cultivation and chivalrous heart...

Perhaps what he cared about was the welfare of the common people under heaven.

Not his personal gain.

Otherwise.

Why would Daoist Priest Fan help so many cultivators without reason and resolve so many issues with the Black Robed Heretic? Even to the point of offending a bizarre creature known as the "Witch Immortal."

To think of repaying such a person of high morals with money or status...

How crude!

How archaic!

"It was nothing," Fan Wu replied, then noticed Yun Jiuqing, who seemed to lack sense in his eyes, looking at him timidly, as if she saw a deity in a temple.

This made him frown involuntarily, "Is there something on my face?"

The glimpse of doubt and dissatisfaction that passed between his brows

Made Yun Jiuqing’s heart skip a beat.

It wasn’t flutter.

It was palpitation!

The overwhelming presence pressed down on her, causing Yun Jiuqing to suddenly realize—she had dared to stare at Daoist Priest Fan’s face for the span of two breaths! She had been pondering how to repay Daoist Priest Fan, forgetting that her actions were a bit presumptuous!

Yun Jiuqing felt a chill on her neck; she worried that if she misspoke, the next one to lose their head might not be some heretic or creature.

It would be her, Yun Jiuqing!!!

"No!" Her mind raced, and she quickly explained, "I was just thinking about how to repay your kindness, Daoist Priest. I had absolutely no overstepping thoughts!"

She dared not conceal her true thoughts in front of Fan Wu, because she felt...

That someone like Daoist Priest Fan could likely see right through her intentions.

Under such circumstances...

To lie.

Would be a death wish!

"Amitabha..." Monk Zhi Kong, who was beside her, chanted a Buddhist mantra. He had already put away the Nine Rings Broadsword, but his brows remained furrowed, his entire demeanor seemingly incapable of smiling.

Monk Zhi Kong spoke with a worried tone, "This place is quite far from the Nanjun city. Even if we travel day and night without rest, it will take several days. If we include rest time along the way, I’m afraid it will take at least ten days."

"And it seems we have been targeted by a very strange creature. The ’Witch Immortal,’ not only has many heretical followers but can also control powerful creatures like the one we faced earlier."

"By their looks... they won’t let us go easily. Amitabha... This journey will likely be troublesome."

Monk Zhi Kong thought further ahead.

He seemed to smell the impending crisis, which turned his already pained and resentful expression even more constipated, "Perhaps this monk’s visit to Yinghe Prefecture was the cause of all these events, the origin of everything that happened."

"I don’t know if this is the Buddha’s trial for this monk, or his punishment... The possibility of punishment seems greater, right?"

"Amitabha!"

Fan Wu felt that Zhi Kong, the displeased monk, radiated a kind of negative emotion. If a person already had a poor state of mind, being around Monk Zhi Kong...

Would likely be easily affected by that negative vibe and start to frown and worry along with him.

At this moment.

Yun Jiuqing asked tentatively, "Daoist Priest Fan, what should the three of us do next?"

She cautiously looked around.

Even though she knew those six monstrous creatures had been killed, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that maybe, something else was lurking in the darkness.

Monk Zhi Kong also fell silent.

He looked towards Fan Wu, too, but like Yun Jiuqing, he did not dare to look directly at Fan Wu’s face.

Apparently.

In such a dangerous situation, they all unconsciously regarded Fan Wu as their pillar of strength.

"Rest."

Fan Wu uttered two words.

His entire demeanor was one of complete nonchalance, as if nothing had happened just a dozen breaths ago, as though the body parts of those creatures on the ground didn’t exist.

He gestured for Old Blue Ox to lie down and then sat on the ground, leaning against the ox’s belly.

As he closed his eyes to rest, he said, "There’s nothing else to do, if not resting, then what else can we do?"

Ah, this!

Seeing Fan Wu acting as if nothing was the matter, Yun Jiuqing and Monk Zhi Kong exchanged puzzled looks.

So nonchalant...

Is this really okay?

"Taoist Priest, don’t you... don’t you worry that some other monster might suddenly appear... hmm?!" Yun Jiuqing’s words trailed off because she heard Daoist Priest Fan’s faint snoring sounds.

She also saw that Old Blue Ox, which Daoist Priest Fan was leaning against, was now also closing its eyes and snoring in deep sleep.

Yun Jiuqing was flabbergasted.

This...

How could they fall asleep?

She didn’t know whether to say Daoist Priest Fan was thick-skinned or if he was a man of great skill and courage. Didn’t he fear that, after falling asleep, a monster might suddenly appear and launch a surprise attack?

And...

Why could this ox, that Daoist Priest Fan was leaning on, also sleep so peacefully? Didn’t the ox realize what fear was? Didn’t it know that they had encountered monsters tonight?

Ordinary wild beasts would be terrified at the sight of a monster, let alone cattle that were domesticated animals.

Or is it... because this ox belonged to Daoist Priest Fan?

So its calmness is normal?

"Why do I feel... I’m not even as good as a cow?"

Yun Jiuqing murmured her self-doubt in the smallest voice possible.

She was afraid that a louder voice.

Would wake Daoist Priest Fan.

Though Monk Zhi Kong’s reaction was not as intense as Yun Jiuqing’s, he too wore an astonished look in his eyes. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He clasped his hands together, his face full of shame as he whispered faintly, "Amitabha... My spiritual cultivation is not to be compared with Daoist Priest Fan, not to mention this Green Ox, I am inferior."

"Well said."

"Well said."

Neither of them dared to compare themselves to Fan Wu, they only dared compare themselves with Daoist Priest Fan’s ox.

And yet.

They couldn’t measure up!!
