My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1051 Year-End Friendship

The little fairy's praise made Yun Zhongzi blush, and he quickly said, "I'm just a temporary worker, making a living by setting up a stall at the entrance of the City God's office. I only get the minimum wage, which is nothing compared to yours."

After all, he was a true immortal who had attained enlightenment. Yun Zhongzi had never told a lie in his life. He was ashamed and tried to cover it up for a while, but after realizing what he had said, he decisively and directly explained his true situation.

He expected to be looked down upon, but the little fairy waved her hand dismissively and said, "Why compare jobs and income? I like the aura around you, that's enough."

She smiled and handed him a can of chilled beer, then opened one for herself, took a big gulp, and let out a satisfying "Ah..." before squinting her eyes in enjoyment.

Yun Zhongzi, with his keen senses, smelled the alcohol odor in the aluminum can and frowned slightly. But then he thought that although the fairy in front of him looked very young, her soul was already mature and independent.

This house is so nice; she earned it all through her own hard work in such a difficult city. This already surpasses 99% of the human women of this era that Yun Zhongzi has ever seen.

Women from the Western Zhou and Shang dynasties were incomparable to her.

Even the noble ladies of royalty and wealthy families only benefit from being born into the right family. If they rely on their own efforts, they will never be able to achieve the status and position they were born with.

This demon gave Yun Zhongzi a sense of familiarity; the spirit and energy she exuded were quite similar to those of the Holy Mothers of the Jie Sect.

After Yun Zhongzi attained immortality, he had no worldly desires. When looking at women, even if the other woman was the stunningly beautiful and incredibly charming Daji, he would only look at her coldly and indifferently, and would never have any romantic thoughts about her.

But this doesn't mean he has any misogyny.

During the Investiture of the Gods, he also witnessed firsthand the splendor of the Holy Mothers of the Intercepting Sect, including the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the Wudang Holy Mother, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother, the Golden Light Holy Mother, and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao...

Although they were mortal enemies at the time, they were also impressed by their unparalleled heroism and courage, and could be said to have developed a mutual respect for each other.

In the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Golden Spirit Mother was wreaking havoc on all sides. While she was fighting the three great warriors, Yun Zhongzi didn't even dare to get close, fearing that she would kill him with a single blow from her flying golden sword.

The little demon in front of him looked like a child, and her cultivation had only reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Her cultivation was incredibly shallow. However, her aura was no less than that of the Holy Mother of the Jie Sect whom he had met before. She exuded a unique charm that countless women in the many eras he had experienced, especially the Yin Shang and Zhou dynasties, which were the eras when patriarchal power rose, had never possessed.

Previously, she had been hoping to coax and trick her into revealing clues, but now Yun Zhongzi genuinely regarded her as a close friend despite their age difference.

Yun Zhongzi also pulled the tab and took a sip of beer with the little fairy. The aroma of beer and malt spread in their mouths, and the cool liquid slid smoothly down their throats. It was indeed incredibly refreshing.

Having suppressed his immortal energy and disguised his physical body, Yun Zhongzi's Golden Immortal form regained some of the senses that a mortal should have. He even became pleasantly tipsy after drinking beer.

Immortals have a constitution far superior to mortals, and theoretically, alcohol would have no effect on them at all. However, there are also wine immortals among the immortals who prefer a taste of intoxication.

Therefore, immortals have long developed methods to suppress their immortal power and physical strength, allowing them to experience the joy of being drunk like mortals.

Although Yun Zhongzi did not intentionally use this technique, the transformation he used to conceal himself perfectly matched the effect of this technique, and after a few sips of wine, he became slightly drunk.

The immortal and the demon drank together, and their conversation gradually opened up, becoming increasingly congenial. Yun Zhongzi was knowledgeable and experienced countless years; he spoke of the past as if it were all vividly remembered, recounting anecdotes and legends with ease.

That little vixen was not as young as she looked. Perhaps she didn't know much or have much experience, but she was quite knowledgeable and had the most outstanding cultural literacy among all the women Yun Zhongzi had ever met.

This little imp can offer unique and thought-provoking insights on everything from astronomy and geography to physics and chemistry, the myriad aspects of life, dynastic changes, and the evolution of the times.

Xiao Jie received systematic training in the Jie Sect and holds a master's degree. Her hobbies include reading, painting, and self-cultivation. In modern society, she would be considered the epitome of a high-achieving woman, a leader among outstanding women.

Yun Zhongzi has lived for nearly ten thousand years, but what kind of "outstanding" women did he come into contact with before?
They were either female chieftains or witches of matriarchal clans, female slaves or slave owners in slave societies, or queens or princesses in feudal societies.

Even though he had come into contact with fairies, saints, and goddesses.

But fairies and goddesses often have only beautiful appearances, but are empty inside. Their greatest hobbies are either weaving or bathing.

The Holy Mother is highly skilled and exudes a murderous aura; she is undeniably dashing, but aside from cultivation and killing, she doesn't possess any substantial foundation.

This tiny female demon gave Yun Zhongzi a strange feeling that he had finally seen a "real" woman—a woman with thoughts and depth, who could sit on equal footing with him and discuss philosophy.

In fact, modern women like Xiao Jie are by no means rare in the Demon Alliance.

How could Yun Zhongzi, a low-level, reclusive man who only managed to get a temporary job in the government through connections, possibly have the opportunity to get in touch with such a person?

If it weren't for the need to uncover the secret of the demonic insect's collusion with Wen Rui, he wouldn't even exchange more than three sentences with any woman in the city.

Of course, given his disguised image as an ordinary old man, outstanding women would automatically ignore him.

Therefore, even though he had been in the new coastal city for a full month, he had little opportunity to have a private conversation with an independent woman with new ideas, like he did today.

The man and the demon drank and chatted merrily. Taking advantage of the moment, Yun Zhongzi cast a divination for the little demon. The divination result was exceptionally auspicious, indicating that the girl was blessed with great fortune, had a pure and flawless soul, and was free from any grudges, injustices, or karmic debts from her past life.

Such a superior karmic destiny is one in a million. With the strict standards of the Chan Sect for accepting disciples, those with such a destiny can be directly admitted to the inner sanctum and accepted as personal disciples by the Golden Immortal.

However, the premise is that the Chan Sect only accepts humans. Unfortunately, this demon is either a demon in human form or a demonic insect in disguise. Otherwise, Yun Zhongzi would have considered taking her as a disciple.

The little fairy was also very happy. She flapped her wings and flew to the piano in the center of the living room. As she flew, she plucked the strings and played a soft piano piece.

The piece she was playing was "Summer," the classic soundtrack from "Kikujiro's Summer," which had once swept through the entertainment world and was plagiarized by Wen Rui. The music was melodious and lingered in the air.

Yun Zhongzi felt as if he had lived for tens of thousands of years, cultivating Taoism to the point of having a heart as still as water, but today he had tasted a bit of the relaxed and joyful taste of human life.
