Chapter 23

  If Qing Ling had known earlier that the scholar had someone he loved and had given up then, there wouldn't have been the later tragedy.

  She insisted that he wouldn't dislike her because of her beauty; later, the scholar became a top scorer and when he was about to return home to marry his beloved girl, what awaited him was a cold tombstone.

  Originally, the infatuated Qingling surprisingly took a solitary action, in order to have an opportunity to marry that scholar; Qingling used the Qingqiu Fox Clan's unique charm spell to entice the scholar's soon-to-be wife, and finally, the scholar's fiancée died miserably in her own home.

  With a heart full of hope and expectation, she thought that this time the scholar would finally marry her!

  It turned out that the scholar, who had just learned about the whole affair, suddenly hugged his fiancée's spirit tablet and died on the spot; this ending was unexpected by Qingling, and it was also unacceptable to her.

  It is said that one thought can lead to heaven, and another to hell; Qingling watched as the bookworm died in front of her, and she, who was already possessed by a demon in her heart, immediately went mad on the spot; from originally cultivating immortality, she fell into the demonic path and transformed into a demonic cultivator.

  Qingling was also expelled by the patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and from then on, this world had an additional nine-tailed demon fox that relied on absorbing human essence and heart for survival - Qingling!

  Qīng Líng gazed at the golden light that protected its body, its originally green and dim eyes had begun to turn red; flickering with a bloodthirsty, eerie red glow, as if it was about to devour the golden light in one bite.

  "Hahaha... It's actually a 9th-generation good person, this is a great tonic; as long as I absorb his essence and heart, I can immediately advance to Asura; Hahaha..." Qingling looked at Jin Guang, who was sitting cross-legged and reciting the Heart Sutra, and couldn't help but lick her own lips.

  Originally thought that they had caught were just small fish and shrimp, but unexpectedly it was a big fat fish.

  Luckily, Jin Guang had already closed his five senses when he first silently recited the Heart Sutra; otherwise, if he had seen or heard Qingling's words with his own eyes and ears, he would have been scared to death.

  The natural golden light was even more unknown, when the green spirit couldn't solve his protective spiritual light and decided to fight hard; a faint golden shadow suddenly sprang out from his body, quickly rushing towards the green spirit in a sneak attack.

  "Ah..."

  After a shrill cry, the white nine-tailed fox suddenly transformed into a black mist and fled in disarray; it was clear that the pale golden shadow had successfully launched a sneak attack.

  Qīng Líng made a swift escape, and Jīn Guāng waited until the pale golden shadow returned to its original form. The murmured chanting of the Heart Sutra suddenly stopped, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Jīn Guāng's mouth as he fell to the ground, unconscious.

  Originally, even Jin Guang himself did not know that there was a foreign object in his body; in fact, it could not be considered a foreign object. The pale golden shadow was actually a small snake of the same color. It was Jin Guang's own Benming Gu, but Jin Guang himself did not know. Even his master, Chi Songzi, was also unaware.

  After the Benming Gu was injured, its injuries would backlash onto its host's body. Although this Benming Gu had caused Qing Ling to flee in disarray, it hadn't gained any advantage either and had suffered severe injuries as well. As a result, after being backlashed by the Benming Gu's injuries, Jin Guang immediately fell into a coma.

  When Jin Guang woke up again, it was already a day later; he, covered in blood and with countless injuries of all sizes, finally managed to stumble down from the mountain top.

  It wasn't long before I ran into Lin Ruolan, and then there was that scene from a while ago.

  "Miss, please help me to the end and send Buddha to the west; also, please accompany me on my next journey." Jin Guang felt that he was no longer as uncomfortable as before, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Lin Ruolan's skirt hem, refusing to let go.

  Jin Guang was born with a noble heart and a strong sense of justice, although his Taoist skills were not yet mastered. However, he had a keen eye for observation, and he knew the severity of his own injuries all too well. Now that he had been rescued by this young girl, who hadn't even treated him properly - merely cleaning his wounds and applying a simple bandage - he felt his pain subside significantly.

  This can only prove one thing, the little girl in front of her is not an ordinary person; so Jin Guang would grit his teeth and put everything on Lin Ruolan.

  Damn it!

  Emotions saved themselves but also saved wrongly, damn it? Is this the rhythm of being held accountable?

  Although Lin Ruo Lan was a bit angry in her heart, she still gritted her teeth and said: "Does this young master know that men and women should not sit together at the age of seven? At the very least, you must have heard of the saying 'men and women should respect each other'? I ask you, sir... what do you intend to do by holding onto this young lady's skirt so tightly?"

  Lin Ruo Lan felt like she was about to go crazy, despite the fact that the other person looked very pleasing to the eye; at this moment, she didn't have any appreciation for him at all, and only wanted to get rid of this sticky leech as soon as possible.

  Jin Guang's face turned red with embarrassment, but he still didn't let go of Lin Ruolan's hem; for some reason, Jin Guang always felt that as long as his hand loosened, the other person would immediately leave.

  "Miss, my name is Jin Guang. I am a legitimate disciple of Chi Songzi, the master of the Xuanxin Zhengzong sect. If you are willing to escort me back to the Xuanxin Zhengzong sect, my master will definitely thank you heavily."

  Damn it!

  Is her own ear having auditory hallucinations? Did she mishear it?

  What the...?! This pretty boy is actually saying that his name is Jin Guang, and... and that his master is the sect leader of Shen Ma Xuan Xin Zheng Zong?!

  Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

  I've seen a ghost... It's actually Jin Guang and Xuan Xin Zheng Zong. This world must be crazy...

  How to say?

  Since Lin Ruo Lan found out that Lin Ru Hai was her own brother and that she had crossed over into the world of Red Chamber, this girl really hadn't thought too much about it, after all Red Chamber Dream was too famous.

  This common saying goes: You don't have to eat pork to know how a pig walks!

  Even if I hadn't read the original "Dream of Red Mansions" when I was a kid, I've watched this Chen Xiao Xu version countless times; from the initial little surprise, um... I'm actually Lin Daiyu's aunt in the future, to later facing it calmly; this process wasn't long.

  But... who can tell themselves, is this world too crazy; or have they just not woken up yet?

  Lin Ruo Lan was originally about to use force to pry Jin Guang open, but as soon as she heard his words, her entire body felt unwell.

  What the heck?

  Isn't it said that I crossed over into the world of Red Mansion? What's going on with this sauce purple thing? Suddenly, another Golden Light appeared, and there's also something called Xuan Xin Zheng Zong.

  Why... why would this world have a mysterious and orthodox sect? Does that mean there should still be an abandoned temple somewhere around here? At the same time, does it also represent that there will be a certain Demon Dao Sheng Jun here?

  Lin Ruo Lan's whole person started becoming uncool!

  What the hell is going on? Can you calm down for me?!

  Damn it! Can this crappy world be any more shameless? Lin Ruo Lan fiercely raised her middle finger at the sky, humph... I despise you - Heaven!

  *sigh*... She knew it all along! It's only natural, who has ever heard of a world in the Red Chamber where, apart from that crazy monk and Taoist, there was another old Taoist named Qingweizi; and what's more, there's even something called cultivating truth, which is not something you'd normally find in the Dream of the Red Chamber, okay?

  As expected, she guessed it right, this... here is actually a mixed world of Dream of the Red Chamber and The Legend of Qin.

  Damn it!

  Heaven is not going to let you play with me like this!
