Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

After saying that, Lin Ying turned around and went back to the room, locking it.

Jingzhi knocked on the door weakly, crying heartbreakingly, "I can change, I can change! I will practice hard in the future, I will never become a child again, and I will never play with you again, Aying!"

Things took a turn so quickly that several disciples stood there in a daze. It took them a long time to digest the fact that "Jingzhi could actually grow bigger, so he was definitely not a human."

A series of bombshell news made their heads buzz.

Xiaozhi likes their master?

Xiaozhi confessed his feelings to their master?

The master refused and locked himself in the room???

They were so engrossed in eating this series of melons that they couldn't take their eyes off them.

Only Xiao Wu went over and helped Jingzhi up, saying, "Well, you really did go too far this time. No one can accept it."

"The main thing is, my master truly treats you like his own daughter. Look how nervous he was when he saw you flipping the wok just now."

"Don't say anymore, sob." Jingzhi kept wiping away tears, her face full of regret. "I know I was wrong. The better Xiaoying treats me, the more guilty I feel."

Tsk.

How can this be done?

Xiaowu saw Jingzhi squatting down again and refusing to leave Lin Ying's door. Helplessly, she could only look at several senior brothers.

The senior brothers only had dirty tricks in their minds, and they had no idea how to handle the situation, so they all shook their heads and spread their hands.

Xiaowu had no choice but to go upstairs to look for Ajuan.

After explaining the matter to Ajuan, Ajuan sighed softly and only replied:

"I knew it would turn out like this."

Xiao Wu held onto the railing, looking at Jing Zhi, who was leaning against the wall in the corridor downstairs, with a worried look on his face. "What should we do?"

Ajuan lifted up her skirt and floated down from the upstairs.

"Fifth Miss, please lend me your room."

Xiaowu: "You can use it as you like!"

As long as they can reconcile, it will be better than anything else.

Jingzhi, who was tired of crying, was lifted up by Ajuan using her ghost power and forcibly dragged to Xiaowu's room.

All the spiritual energy cultivated in the morning was used to maintain Jingzhi's adult appearance, and he had no power to resist.

"What are you doing? I have to guard him, otherwise he will run away."

Seeing Jingxia getting out of bed and about to run to open the door, Ajuan waved her sleeves and floated to the door to stand there, "If you do that, it will only backfire."

Jingzhi dejectedly took a few steps back and fell onto the bed. "What should I do? I really like him and just wanted to use this cute image to get closer to him. I didn't expect that he really treated me like his daughter."

Ajuan shook her head gently and sighed softly.

"Uncle is a conservative man with a strong sense of justice and high moral standards. What you did initially brought him closer, but once you express your feelings, it will only push him further away."

"Wow... I don't want this to happen. I've realized it. Can't I stop now?"

Jingzhi's eyes were filled with tears and her nose was red from crying.

How could Ajuan not feel heartbroken when she saw her ancestor crying like this?

With a snap of a finger, the ghost energy penetrated the two wooden doors and came to Lin Ying's room.

The gray-black ghost energy gradually spread out and lengthened.

The defecation stops until a mirror is formed.

What was shown in the ghost mirror was the scene in Xiaowu's room.

Lin Ying, lying on the bed, pursed her lips, turned around, and faced the wall, not wanting to look at anything.

Ajuan, who was comforting Jingzhi, frowned slightly.

She twisted her fingers lightly in the air, and the voices on this side became louder.

It doesn't matter if Grandpa doesn't watch it. When she asks Jingzhi what's really in his heart, she doesn't believe that Grandpa, who was Grandma's husband in her previous life, is not touched at all.

"Jingzhi, stop crying. Didn't you persuade me? If a woman doesn't stand up for herself first, how can others respect her?"

Jingzhi pursed her lips and spoke in a sobbing voice, "Wow, I, I only want Ah Ying."

After taking a look at the gray line at the crack of the door, Ajuan lowered her head and gently coaxed Jingzhi: "Do you like him so much? Can you only have him?"

Jingzhi sobbed, hugged her knees tightly, and stared blankly at the door opposite: "Ajuan, when you find someone who truly loves you, you will understand."

"When he loves you with all his heart, and you happen to love him back, it's a beautiful thing."

"I've been chasing him for several lifetimes, and I know his personality best. If I approach him as an adult woman, he'll definitely avoid me again and again. I'm tired of his attitude every time he starts, so..."

Ah Juan suddenly realized: "So you 'cut a corner' just to get him to let down his guard and get along with you?"

Jingzhi nodded aggrievedly, "I didn't expect that he would ask me to be his daughter. I originally thought he was joking, but this morning I found that his smile really resembled my dad's. Then I realized that things can't go on like this."

"Uh..." Ajuan was also speechless.

She stroked her hair gently and whispered softly, "Give him some time. He's been so good to you. Even if we have to be just ordinary friends again for a while, you have to let him digest it."

Tiandao was holding the new thunder hammer and eager to try it out.

From time to time, it would steal a glance into the sky.

Actually, you can't blame it. She was the one who leaked the secret first.

Then... just give a brief warning.

"Crack!" There was a loud bang, as if the sky was torn in half.

Pedestrians ran away, thinking it was going to rain.

The windows of the villa shattered, and Xiaowu's entire wooden bed was struck by lightning, leaving only a smoking iron frame.

The ghost mirror turned into smoke and disappeared.

Lin Ying sat up suddenly, frowning.

I wanted to go over and take a look, but I was afraid that this was a trick of hers.

Before I could go out, I saw Ajuan coming through the wall trembling.

"Uncle, Jingzhi, she, she..."

Lin Ying pretended not to care, sat back on the bed, and asked in a calm tone: "What happened to her?"

Seeing him like this, Ajuan stomped her feet, grabbed Lin Ying's hand, and led him directly through the wall.

There was also a pungent smell of burning wood and burning clothes in Xiaowu's room.

Inside the iron frame of the bed, Jingzhi, who was caught off guard by the lightning, was lying curled up. Sometimes her body grew bigger, and sometimes she couldn't maintain her spiritual power and gradually became smaller.

Her little face was charred, and her white clothes were covered with carbonized marks and some glass fragments.

There was a charred broken tail beside him, which made Lin Ying dare not look directly at it or think deeply about it.

Every time she became smaller, she would wake up in shock and forcefully drain out some of her spiritual energy to maintain her adult appearance.

She woke up again, looking at Lin Ying with a frown on his face. She opened her mouth, stretched out her hand towards him, and said with a weak breath, "Aying, I... I don't dare anymore..."

"Don't talk." Lin Ying's heart was trembling so much that he didn't dare to touch her at all, as if she would break like a bed board.

He slowly stretched out his hand, trying to pull her up, but before his fingertips touched hers, her arm suddenly slipped down.

"Xiao, Xiaozhi!"

The iron frame was extremely hot, but Lin Ying had no time to worry about it. His pupils shrank like needles in fear. He stepped in with the help of the wall, suppressed his trembling arms, and placed his index finger under her nose.

Lin Ying was so panicked that she couldn't even feel her weak breathing. She raised her head and shouted, "Open the door! Open the door quickly to let some air in! She can't breathe!"

"Oh oh oh."

Ajuan was also panicked and her hand slipped several times before she turned the door handle.

As soon as the door opened, several disciples rushed in.

"Master, what happened to Xiaozhi?"

"I just saw a flash of lightning."

Tiandao raised the hammer and saw three tiny words engraved on the lower right corner of the hammer: [Enhanced Version]

"Damn it! Thunder God, you've caused me so much trouble!!!"

……

Jingzhi was ultimately unable to maintain her adult form, not even her child form.

He had very little spiritual power left, and he also gave the self-defense necklace to Cheng Ying.

This enhanced version of the thunder struck her hard, causing her to lose one of her tails.

The spiritual energy accumulated over several lifetimes vanished into nothing.

If she hadn't had some good deeds, that blow would have cost her life.

Ajuan almost blamed herself to death.

She knelt in front of the kitten's bed all day long, pinching her ears and calling "Grandma". A Shi and the others thought she was just too sorry, so they elevated Jingzhi's status.

A few people took Jingzhi to the pet hospital and had an electrocardiogram done.

Upon hearing that the cat had been struck by the shocking thunderbolt, the doctor even told Lin Ying to be mentally prepared, saying that the cat might not survive. Its heart rate was extremely low and it was very likely to stop beating in the next second.

Lin Ying almost had to hold on to the wall as she walked out. Her face was frighteningly pale and her heart was in so much pain that it seemed like it was about to break.

He couldn't figure out what the cause of this pain was.

Since returning from the hospital that day, Lin Ying has become more and more silent day by day.

Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is to shake my fingers and gently place them under the kitten's nose to see if it is still breathing.

He would transfer a little magic power to her every day without fail, but he didn't dare to transfer too much, for fear that her meridians were now fragile and she wouldn't be able to bear it.

He listened to the suggestion Jingzhi had given him before.

I quit my job as a night watchman.

Lin Ying, alone, began to learn to expand his network of contacts and build good relationships with the wealthy neighbors.

Sometimes he would show off his skills to increase his reputation and deepen his image as a Taoist priest.

These things seemed a bit like currying favor with the powerful, something he would never have done before.

But he is in urgent need of money now.

He always thought about taking her to a better hospital.

……

[Sister Jingzhi, aren't you going out yet? ]

Jintong was floating around in her sea of ​​consciousness, bored, but now it was completely clean.

That enhanced version of the heavenly thunder had both advantages and disadvantages for her.

I don’t know if it was because she was punished or because the thunder was so powerful, but the resentment in her disappeared without a trace.

[Wait a little longer, gather up some more spiritual energy, and once I can maintain my adult appearance, I'll leave.]

A kitten was quietly floating in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, with its eyes closed.

Jintong floated over and looked at the place where her tail was broken with some regret.

"I've cultivated for several lifetimes to get a tail like this, and now it's cut off like this. How dare Heaven do this? You only said a little bit, and this punishment is too harsh."

The other tails flicked lightly. Jingzhi sighed and accepted his fate. "It's God's will. Perhaps it's the karma I've inherited that's why I've suffered this calamity. Why blame it?"

"I shouldn't have said that."

It was just that she had delusions when she saw Ajuan transform into a ghost mirror.

The little Tiandao in the sky covered his mouth, his eyes filled with tears.

Even though it's like this, she still speaks for it.

……

[Jin Tong: If you don't leave now, I think Lin Ying will be gone.]

Jingzhi (with eyes closed): What happened to him? Hasn't he been making good money lately?

Jin Tong cried out, and jumped up and down, chasing after the dangling cat tails, saying:

[You don't know, he made some money and took you to the city to see a doctor again.

The doctor told him that he might have to stay in this state for the rest of his life and become a vegetative cat. He was so sad that he fell ill.

Jingzhi opened his eyes suddenly, [Are you sick? How sick are you? Why didn't you tell me earlier!]

Jin Tong grabbed a tail, slowly opened his mouth, and stroked her fur. "This illness isn't serious, but it's not minor either. And didn't you say you needed to cultivate enough spiritual power before leaving? I've urged you several times."

My hands suddenly felt empty.

The sea of ​​consciousness returned to calm.

Jintong curled his lips and collapsed on the ground looking at the sky.

It's not the sky, but the upper layer of her sea of ​​consciousness, with some faint signs of cracks.

Jintong frowned slowly. What should he do?

The injury to the sea of ​​consciousness is more serious than a broken tail.

……

Lin Ying received another big order today, helping an elderly man who passed away nearby to choose a Feng Shui-friendly burial site. He had already received the deposit of 20,000 yuan, but he was not happy at all.

He quickened his pace and walked home. Every time he went out, he was afraid that the sleeping kitten would suddenly die.

So he repeatedly emphasized to his apprentices that no matter where they went, there must always be someone at home.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Lin Ying's throat felt itchy. He clenched his fists against his mouth and coughed.

The handbag in my hand suddenly shook.

Lin Ying finally stopped coughing and put on a mask.

I put my fingers into the compartment, intending to take out my phone, but I felt something furry.

His heart trembled violently.

He quickly pulled his hand out and closed his eyes tightly.

If he hadn't been so self-righteous and insisted on adopting her as his daughter, would things have not developed to this point?

The handbag was still vibrating.

Lin Ying didn't dare touch the broken tail again.

He carefully took out his cell phone from the side and pressed the answer button.

Xiaowu's surprised voice came from the other side of the microphone.

"Master! Xiaozhi is awake!!! Come back soon!"
