When Kabhadra appeared beside her with a golden bowl, Bai Tan was still a little confused.

His face was indifferent, and under the gaze of the madam, he put her into the golden bowl.

Bai Tan thought he was dead, but when he returned to the room, he let her out again.

She was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on her forehead: "I didn't kill him. There is a witch here."

He nodded slightly: "I know."

She was stunned.

Knowing this, why did you still put her in the golden bowl

Kabhadra did not explain that the demon girl was a transformed evil spirit and mortals could not see her.

He came here to subdue the demon, so naturally he didn't want to alert the enemy.

Bai Tan's mind was filled with what the witch had said. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, so she simply went into the closet.

When she climbed out of the closet the next day, she found a plain velvet jacket and skirt with embroidered flowers on the stool outside the closet.

She held the plain coat and compared it with her body. The breath she had been holding all night disappeared immediately without a trace.

Jiabadu opened the door and said: "A powerful Taoist priest has come here, you should not go out..."

He paused and stared at her in a daze.

She had just taken a shower, her skin was white and delicate, and her long black hair fell behind her shoulders. She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror wearing only a thin dress, and the mist made her look charming.

Seeing him standing at the door, she asked attentively, "Where have you been?"

The sound of a door slamming shut was her answer.

He didn't come back until night.

He held two yellow talismans in his hand, one of which he stuck behind her back and the other in her hand: "I have concealed the evil spirit on you, but the evil spirit will come again tonight. You can stick this talisman on her head and it will make her visible. You must act before the Taoist priest does."

Bai Tan knew that he couldn't see the evil spirit transformed into a female demon, so he took the yellow talisman and said, "I will help you catch the demon, and you have to return the fox skin to me afterwards."

He nodded.

The two looked at each other, but were speechless.

The air was silent for a moment, and two voices sounded in the room at the same time.

"This coat and skirt looks great on you."

"You better be careful tonight."

Both of them were stunned.

She didn't expect him to praise her, and he didn't expect her to care about him.

He was about to say something when a scream was heard in the lobby.

He rushed out the door.

She followed closely behind, only to see the female ghost strangling the madam's neck, with her sharp claws about to pierce her chest.

The monk and the Taoist priest arrived almost at the same time. When Bai Tan saw the Taoist priest in yellow robe, he subconsciously trembled twice.

She remembered what the monk had told her, and rushed to the banshee and stuck the yellow talisman on her head.

The banshee subconsciously raised her fist and hit Bai Tan's head, causing it to buzz.

The monk picked up the golden bowl and was about to take her in, but she screamed: "What did I do wrong? It was that bitch who stole my husband and instigated him to dig out my heart. I just want my heart back..."

He was slightly startled, and Bai Tan's words suddenly rang in his ears.

—You see, all beings are still unequal.

Just as he was stunned, the Taoist priest had already taken out the peach wood sword and stabbed the banshee's fatal point.

He frowned and stepped forward to snatch the evil spirit of the banshee. The Taoist priest was not willing to be outdone. The two of them entangled with each other, but he accidentally tore the banshee into two halves.

Bai Tan's breathing stagnated. When she heard the banshee's shrill wail, her scalp went numb and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

The Taoist priest climbed out of the window and took away half of the evil soul of the banshee. Gabhadra followed him without hesitation.

The madam was not dead, but her body was covered in blood, which was creepy to look at.

Bai Tan stared at the madam in a daze. When he looked up, he found that the Taoist priest had come back again: "This witch's soul has been chopped into pieces by this Taoist priest."

She lowered her head and whispered, "What does it have to do with me?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Of course it is related. The monk was the bastard sired by the eldest princess. The emperor wanted to kill him, but he could not resist the eldest princess's pleading, so he sent him to Putuo Temple to become a monk."

"But the Emperor and the Princess have made an agreement that if this bastard fails to subdue the eighty-one demons before his 30th birthday, he will be burned as a sacrifice to the heavens."

There were some words that the Taoist priest couldn't say.

The emperor likes this half princess.

After this incident, he pretended to find a son-in-law for the princess, but in fact he secretly forced her for a whole year. Eventually, the princess became pregnant with the prince and died of hemorrhage during childbirth.

Princess Chunyuan was their child. Due to violating human ethics, she was born a barren girl and had not yet married at the age of 25.

The Taoist priest looked at the yellow talisman falling behind her and said: "In ten days, it will be his birthday. If he can't catch the monster, he will take you as the replacement."

Bai Tan was stunned. If that was true, then he could have just taken her in before. Why bother coming here to catch the monster

The Taoist saw through her thoughts and said, "You are not an ordinary demon. You carry the life of another person on your shoulders. If he takes you in, it will be detrimental to his virtue. How can he dare to touch you unless he has no other choice?"

When Gabhadra came back, Bai Tan was sitting on the ground in a daze. He was about to speak, but she spoke first: "Can you give me back the fox skin?"

He was silent for a moment: "Wait a few more days."

Bai Tan's heart sank.

If I wait another ten days and fail to catch any other monsters, will I take her in

Kabhadra returned to Putuo Temple. This time, since Bai Tan was there, he hired a carriage and arrived in just half a day instead of three days' journey.

After returning to the temple, Bai Tan consciously sank into the pond and did not come out for seven days.

On the eighth day, Kabhadra brought a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the pond.

The fish rushed forward one after another, squeezing the Bai Tan so that there was no room for him to stay.

She surfaced and looked at him angrily: "You stinky monk, can't you go feed the fish somewhere else?"

He scattered some fish food and said, "This pond was dug by this poor monk."

Bai Tan was speechless. Just as she was about to sink, she heard him say, "Can a fox hold its breath underwater for seven days?"

She said confidently: "Sure, I have a natural talent."

He couldn't help but laugh.

He is really stubborn.

Bai Tan was slightly stunned when he saw the faint smile on his lips.

She thought he had facial paralysis.

Gabhadra said, "The peach blossoms on the south mountain are in bloom. There will be a peach blossom festival in the evening. Do you want to go?"

Bai Tan was thinking about how to reject him harshly, but his mouth asked faster than his brain: "What about you?"

Seeing that he was still smiling, she suddenly became annoyed: "I mean, if you go, I won't go."

After he spread the fish food, he suppressed his smile and asked, "Really not going?"

Bai Tan went anyway.

Because he gave her a white jade and kingfisher feather hairpin.

He stood outside the temple waiting for her to dress.

She was wearing the plain velvet embroidered jacket and skirt he bought for her. Her black hair was tied up in a bun, with a hairpin inserted diagonally in her temples and a golden flower ornament between her eyebrows. She looked a bit like a vixen.

As soon as night falls, the peach blossom forest in Nanshan becomes lively.

Couples or friends, they all come to the Peach Blossom Festival hand in hand. There are lights and decorations everywhere, vendors have set up their stalls early, and there are bonfires in the distance for lighting.

Bai Tan stretched out his hand, and fireflies flew around her. She sniffed the air tainted with the scent of peach blossoms and hugged his arm without hesitation: "Monk, I want to eat peach blossom cake."

Gabhadra lowered his eyes and looked at her arms, his breathing becoming heavier.

He wanted to push her hand away, but when he looked up he caught a glimpse of the bright smile on her face. He was stunned, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up.

Seeing her looking over, he turned his head away hurriedly: "We don't have peach blossom cakes, I'll buy them for you next time. Do you want to eat candied haws?"

She nodded: "I want to eat hawthorn with walnuts."

He walked forward and asked, only to find out that the only thing left was a candied haws with hawthorn and walnut.

Perhaps because he was afraid that she wouldn't have enough, he packed up all the remaining candied haws.

She is not thin, so she must have a big appetite.

In his hand, he held a candied haws with hawthorn and walnut, two candied orange haws, and two candied yam haws.

Just as he was about to walk back, a woman's timid voice sounded behind him: "Are you the Buddhist disciple from Putuo Temple?"

Gabhadra turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

The woman was a little embarrassed. She pointed to the candied haws with hawthorn and walnuts and said, "I came too late and didn't buy the candied haws with walnuts. That's my favorite..."

He nodded slightly: "Then you should come earlier next time."

Woman: “…”

Jiabadu walked back to Bai Tan and stuffed five candied haws into her hands: "Don't eat too much, it will cause tooth decay."

The woman chased after him, tears flickering in her eyes: "Who is this?"

He was about to speak, but Bai Tan answered first: "I am a vixen."

The woman thought she was mocking her and ran away crying.

Bai Tan was a little confused. She was just telling the truth, so why was the woman crying

Perhaps because she was a monk, people looked at her wherever she went. She found a secluded place and sat down leaning against a peach tree.

He sat next to her, and seeing that her mouth was full of syrup, he subconsciously reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth.

He didn't realize what he had done until his fingers touched the corner of her mouth.

Bai Tan ate very quickly, and the four candied haws were finished in a blink of an eye. She handed the hawthorn and walnut in her hand to his mouth: "Try it."

He never eats sweets; just the smell of them makes his teeth ache.

But she always put the candied haws against his lips.

He reluctantly took a bite. The hawthorn was wrapped in syrup and seeped onto the tip of his tongue, tasting sour and sweet. The addition of walnuts neutralized the taste, and it was not as unbearable as he had imagined.

She didn't eat it, but just asked him, "Is it sour?"

He shook his head and was about to speak when she came closer and licked his lips with the tip of her tongue.

She smacked her lips: "Not bad."

Gabhadra: “…”

In fact, Bai Tan didn't like to join in the fun. She leaned on his shoulder and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "Are you going to take me in now?"

He was silent for a long time: "Did the Taoist tell you everything?"

Bai Tan nodded: "Before you accept me, can you return the fox skin to me first?"

He didn't speak.

In the distance, people approached with torches. The leaders were the Crown Prince and the brothel madam. The madam pointed at Bai Tan and said, "It was this monster. She bewitched the Buddhist disciples and killed our chief courtesan!"

The Crown Prince angrily shouted, "This monster sucked my essence and nearly killed me."

"Buddha, as a holy monk of Putuo Temple, you should take saving the common people as your responsibility. How can you have a romantic relationship with a demon?"

"This year, Yan State is suffering from a severe drought. I'm afraid it's because the Buddhist disciples broke their precepts. If the Buddhist disciples don't make a prompt decision, we will have no choice but to burn them as a sacrifice to the heavens."

Bai Tan stood up, took a bite of the candied haws, and said to him, "Monk, start."

She pulled a purse out of her sleeve: "Oh, by the way. Happy birthday."

He stared in a daze at the purse, on which were two wild ducks embroidered crookedly. There were spots of blood on the pink purse, and it was obvious that the woman had pricked her fingers countless times to embroider it.

It turned out that she hadn't come out for a few days and was embroidering purses in the pond.

In the end, Kabhadra did not take any action. He took off his robes, folded them neatly and placed them in the golden bowl.

He looked at her: "Do you like me?"

Bai Tan nodded.

He bowed his head and whispered: "But you don't know my name yet."

Bai Tan smiled and said, "I know, your name is Heng Su."

Thanks to the banshee's punch, she regained her memory.

She contacted Zhengzheng and learned that Hengsu had saved her life in exchange for his own.

The reincarnation of Hengwu is none other than Kabhadra.

She wanted to know what choice he would make this time.

Is it about benefits or her

As it turned out, she did not lose the bet this time.

The Crown Prince became dissatisfied when he saw them talking without paying attention to others. He was just looking for a reason to punish him on behalf of his father. He had no awareness that he was about to die.

He was about to order his men to restrain the two of them when a strange noise was heard in the air. He looked up and saw a long, pitch-black dragon soaring in the clouds.

There were three figures sitting on the dragon, one big and two small. Only a slightly excited voice was heard: "Shanshui, we are here to take you home-"
