Chapter 14: Aunt Flow Arrives (Part 2)

  It wasn't until the sky outside was completely dark that Xiao Si slowly came to, and he was shocked to discover that at some point he had risen into the air, cross-legged. As the surging True Qi in his body calmed down, his body also slowly descended back onto the ground.

  The room was not lit, and in the silent darkness, a patch of moonlight shone through the slightly ajar window, casting an infinite stillness. Xie Yue Zhen Ren and his young apprentice had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only Jue Jin Shi Tai sound asleep on the bed, covered with a layer of dirty, wrinkled, and who-knew-how-many-years-unwashed thin quilt.

  Xiao Si glanced out the window at the night scene, only to realize that he had been meditating for over six hours. However, in his impression, it seemed like no time had passed at all, just a blink of an eye.

  "Rumble, rumble..." His stomach suddenly growled, sounding especially jarring in the midst of the silent surroundings.

  Xiao Si was startled, and hastily looked towards the bed where Jue Jin Shi Tai was lying, fearing that she would wake her up. But then he thought again that Lao Ze Ni was now half dead and half alive, and it was a good opportunity to take revenge on her.

  Niangzi heard that, and since there was no unusual noise outside the house, she plucked up her courage and quietly approached the bed, softly calling out: "Old...thief...ni—"

  When he was called, he stared at Master Juejin with both eyes, tiptoed and secretly held his breath, and as soon as he saw the situation was not good, he broke the window and escaped.

  Fortunately, after holding her breath in suspense for a while, Master Absolute Gold still didn't have any reaction.

  Xiao Si's eyes gleamed with mischief as he gazed at the shiny bald head of Master Juejin, and he couldn't resist reaching out to touch it. But his conscience got the better of him, and as soon as his hand made contact with Master Juejin's icy scalp, he hastily withdrew it.

  Looking at the old nun still not waking up, Xiao Si's heart was filled with joy and he sneered: "Stinky nun, with your behavior, I'm afraid even Buddha wouldn't dare to want you. I have a kind heart, so I won't bother with you. Otherwise... Hehe... I'll strip off your clothes and parade you through the streets of Jiankang City. Hmm, one or two silver coins can touch once, old men and children half price, beautiful women free."

  As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch the top of Juejin Shitai's head again, cool and smooth to the touch, his boldness growing even more. He pinched the old nun's nose with his fingers and smiled, saying: "Amitabha, good, good - I've added another sin! Master, please take me back to Emei to eat vegetarian food, recite Buddhist scriptures, and face the wall for repentance!"

  Before her words had fallen, Juejin Shitai suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed Xiao Si's pulse with lightning speed.

  The little thief's hand was caught and he felt a numbness all over his body. He couldn't help but shout: "Old nun, let go!"

  "Absolute Gold Master coldly snorted and sternly said: 'What were you just doing?'"

  Xiao Si suddenly shouted: "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!"

  Jue Jin Shi Tai was shocked, and Xiao Si took the opportunity to activate the 64 Hexagrams Star Array. A burst of star energy suddenly erupted, shaking off the withered and icy claws of Lao Ze Ni. She retreated hastily to the door, her eyebrows furrowed in a killing intent as frosty as snow. Hurriedly, she shouted: "It wasn't me who did it!"

  "Zhe Jin Shi Tai" let out a snort and wrapped herself in her quilt, thinking for a moment before guessing that it was the evil deeds of Yue Man Zhen Ren. But this little brat in front of her was truly detestable, how could she allow him to repeatedly provoke her with his arrogant and domineering attitude?

  She slowly circulated her breath and found that the injuries in her body had stabilized, as long as she didn't overexert herself, there would be no major problems. She couldn't help but secretly praise the old madman's superb medical skills. However, thinking about how she was being looked at by several men while being completely naked, she felt both ashamed and resentful. Coldly, she said: "You fell into your own trap, don't blame me for using my sword to exorcise demons!" Habitually, she reached behind her head, but unexpectedly grabbed nothing, only to find that the Demon-Slaying Sword had already been hidden away by the Evil Moon True Person.

  Xiao Si hastily said: "It was Elder Sister Furong who asked me to come and ask, how did you know that she has two tattoos on her body?"

  "Big Sister Furuong?" asked Mistress Zuijin in surprise.

  Xiao Si nodded slightly, and since Princess Jincheng's identity couldn't be revealed easily, she had to settle for being called that.

  "Master Zhen Jin said coldly: 'Why didn't she come ask herself?'"

  Xiao Si replied: "She's shy, and as her brother, I can only reluctantly stand up for her."

  "Nonsense!" Absolute Gold Master's eyes flashed with a stern glint: "When did the princess have an older brother?"

  Xiao Si's ears were ringing with pain, and he exclaimed: "How did you know her name?" He felt more and more that there was a strange relationship between Lao Ze Ni and Princess Jincheng.

  "Her eyes fixed intently on Xiangling, Madame Wang said: 'She is my sister's daughter.'"

  Xiao Si was taken aback and stared at Jue Jin Shi Tai's face for a long time, asking: "Your sister is very beautiful, right?"

  Jue Jin Shuai slightly nodded her head and said with a hint of disdain: "Born from the same mother, how can there be such a big difference in being human?"

  "Are you daring to mock me?" said the nun in a cold voice.

  Xiao Si's face turned red with rage as he said, "Why should I believe you're telling the truth? Don't tell me that monks don't lie, where is your sister?"

  "She's dead." Jue Jin Shifu said calmly: "Not long after giving birth to Fei Er, she left the world. But when did she give birth to you?"

  Xiao Si shouted angrily: "You stupid Haba girl, you don't even understand the difference between a biological father and a stepfather!"

  Jue Jin Shi Tai suddenly floated closer, her eyes sternly staring at Xiao Si: "Who is your father?"

  Xiao Si subconsciously leaned against the door panel, his left hand secretly pinching a "Ghostly Escape Talisman", waiting for any sign of trouble to make a swift escape.

  He racked his brains and muttered: "Seems like... should be... Yang!"

  The nun's expression slightly relaxed, and she coldly laughed: "This poor nun has long known this, why must you say it? I'm asking about the name and origin of Princess's father, if you dare to speak half a word falsely, be careful not to have a place to bury your body after death!"

  Xiao Si carefully observed her words and facial expressions, thinking to herself: "This is not good. Could it be that this old nun and the Emperor have a deep-seated grudge between them? Should I tell her or not?"

  Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard Jue Jin Shifu say slowly: "I know, it's the old demon of the Absolute Domain, Yan Wucheng, right?"

  Xiao Si was stunned for a moment before asking: "Why is it the Old Demon of the Absolute Domain?"

  Jue Jin Shi Tai sized up the expression on Xiao Si's face, and became even more convinced that her guess was correct. She snorted and said: "It's rumored that the Old Demon of the Absolute Domain never accepts disciples. If you're not his biological daughter, how could you possibly cultivate the Blue Sky Warm Jade Divine Art?"

  Xiao Si hesitated and asked cautiously: "Shifu, you... have a feud with the Old Demon of the Absolute Domain?"

  "Back then, if he hadn't abandoned her after using her and taken the princess away by force, my sister wouldn't have been so grief-stricken that she left the world. Fortunately, the Buddha has protected me, and after searching for him all these years, I finally have a lead today!" The words were icy cold, revealing a deep-seated resentment.

  Xiao Si's heart couldn't help but feel a chill, thinking to himself: "So Yang Guang has done this kind of thing before. Dammit, with so many beauties hidden in the three palaces and six courtyards at home, he still wants to play games outside, looking for thrills and being flirtatious, getting me to take the fall for him."

  "So you're the son of the Old Demon of the Absolute Domain, excellent, excellent!"

  Xiao Si's face changed suddenly, and he knew that the old nun had a deep-seated hatred for Jin Cheng Gong Zhu's biological father. If he were to take this mess on himself, his life would be over from now on. He hastily shouted: "I was lying to you! I have nothing to do with the Old Demon of the Absolute Domain!"

  Madam Absolute Cold's face was as cold as frost, and she said: "Are you or are you not his son?"

  "No!" At the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Si decided to completely break away from his past lies, abandon his fake father and return to himself. With a resolute tone, he loudly declared: "What Absolute Domain Old Demon, what Perverted Old Devil? I don't recognize any of them!"

  "It's about right." The Golden Master actually believed it, and sneered slightly: "How could the son of the Absolute Domain Old Monster be a useless waste, a little rascal?!"

  Xiao Si's eyes rolled up in anger, and he said: "If Jian Yong was killed by me, wouldn't that make him even more despicable and shameless? I'm afraid the reputation of your Emei Cien Temple won't be any better."

  Jade Master's eyebrows were filled with murderous intent, and she raised her right palm saying: "Very well, you've added another crime to your list."

  "This is also counted?" Xiao Si's eyes widened in shock, and he saw that Lao Ze was about to make a move. He hastily shouted: "This matter wasn't done by me alone! If you have the guts, then kill both Feng'er and me together for the greater good! Otherwise, it would be a case of abusing power for personal gain, deceiving Buddha, and destroying ancestors, and after death, falling into the Avici Hell forever with no chance of ascension!"

  Jue Jin Shuai's eyes widened and her right palm froze in mid-air, clearly Xiao Si's words had struck a weak point, putting her at a disadvantage.

  Xiao Si wiped away a cold sweat, took advantage of the situation and said: "If you dare to touch a single hair on me, I'll make sure that Princess recognizes no one as her aunt!"

  The nun's hands dropped involuntarily, and she coldly snorted: "You dare threaten me?"

  Xiao Si knew he had won the gamble, and happily said: "A man needs face, a tree needs bark. I have to give that old nun a way out, or she'll jump over the wall in desperation."

  He smiled and said, "You are Feier's aunt, so you are also my aunt. Where in the world is there a reason for a nephew to threaten his aunt? Such a rebellious and unrighteous thing that would make both heaven and earth angry, I absolutely will not do."

  Jue Jin Shuai's eyebrows rose and fell slowly, her cold gaze fixed on Xiao Si, her expression eerily similar to that of Princess Jincheng.

  Xiao Si muttered to herself, while her mouth was busy calling out: "Auntie..."

  Madam Absolute Perfection's whole body suddenly turned cold, and she shouted: "Who is your aunt?"

  She was about to scold the rascal severely, but suddenly she was taken aback. She saw Xue Xiao Si's face flushed with excitement and his eyes red-rimmed as he secretly wiped away tears with his sleeve. She couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What are you doing?"

  "Nothing, nothing... I've been an orphan since I was a kid, and when I was really hungry, I couldn't help but sneak into the fields to steal a sweet potato. But I got bitten by a wild dog and was injured all over my body. I lay in the ditch for three days and three nights without anyone asking or caring, almost dying..."

  He pretended to wipe away tears, while secretly glancing at Lao Zhai's reaction through his fingers. He said sorrowfully: "At that time, I really wanted my mother to be by my side, even if it was just to feed me a mouthful of water or a steamed bun. Today, seeing Shifu, I don't know why, but I feel especially close to you and envy Fei'er from the bottom of my heart. Shifu, since you won't be my aunt, then be my godmother!"

  When the nun first heard this, she thought of Princess Jincheng and felt a pang in her heart. She also thought that this scoundrel's nature wasn't too bad after all, it was just unfortunate that he had lacked guidance since childhood and ended up on the wrong path. But when Xiaosi uttered his last sentence, even with her profound Buddhist skills and heart as hard as iron stone, she couldn't help but stare blankly and stutter: "Y-you said what?"

  "Godmother!" Xiao Si suddenly let out a loud, mournful cry and threw himself into Master Yu's arms, hugging her tightly as he exclaimed tearfully: "I finally have family! From now on, I'm not afraid of others calling me a bastard who was raised by his mother but not taught by her..."

  Jue Jin Shi Tai had never encountered such a thing before, and she was at a loss for words, her face flushing with anger as she exclaimed: "Quickly, quickly let go! What kind of behavior is this!"

  Xiao Si pretended not to hear, and had already acknowledged a female ghost as his mother. Now he's acknowledging a nun as his godmother, what a wonderful coincidence, why not go for it?

  Just as things were getting out of hand, the door was suddenly pushed open and Princess Jincheng stood frozen in the doorway.
