Chapter 846: Chapter 846: Enchanting Little Fox Monster vs. Justice-Obsessed Female Taoist (Part 22)

After taking off his monk robes, Yuan Xiu appeared less ethereal, but his facial advantages were fully revealed.

Gu Shengyin clicked her tongue in admiration: “My judgment is indeed not bad. Yuan Xiu, dressed like this, you should receive many girls’ lanterns tonight.”

The moonlit festival is also a day for lovers to exchange tokens of affection. If a young lady sees a man she fancies, she can naturally hand the lantern in her hands over to him.

If the man accepts it, it signifies mutual affection and a beautiful encounter of love.

Yuan Xiu said nothing but bent down and lifted Gu Shengyin up.

Along the way, many little novice monks saw Yuan Xiu’s attire and were amazed.

However, they didn’t ask much as this Taoist uncle hadn’t taken the vows like them, so he was naturally different.

Yuan Xiu carried Gu Shengyin out of the Lotus Platform Sect and stepped onto the bustling streets.

Night had fallen, but Lotus City was even more vibrant and bright than during the day.

Countless lanterns atop buildings, on roadside trees, and in the hands of tourists transformed this night into a city of eternal illumination.

Gu Shengyin was correct; although Yuan Xiu’s outfit wasn’t particularly outstanding, his handsome and transcendental demeanor still attracted many glances from the girls.

Several beautiful girls shyly and bashfully offered their lanterns to him, but he politely refused each one.

Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but tease: “Yuan Xiu, with so many beauties, is there not even one who moves you?”

Yuan Xiu’s gaze returned from the distant brilliant lights, looking down at the little fox in his arms: “Yuan Xiu is a man ordained to renunciation, how can he harbor such thoughts?”

Gu Shengyin was indifferent: “Don’t lie to me. You clearly haven’t taken the vows yet, so how can you be considered a true man of renunciation?”

By logic, Yuan Xiu never managed to outtalk this sharp-tongued little fox benefactor.

Upon hearing this, he merely chuckled: “Then perhaps this little monk’s worldly heart hasn’t yet found someone to stir it.”

Gu Shengyin said no more.

Lazily she leaned in Yuan Xiu’s arms, directing him to specifically head towards lively places to sightsee.

Yuan Xiu clearly rarely experienced such lively scenes and was somewhat unaccustomed. However, he said nothing more, just following Gu Shengyin’s directions.

“Don’t you find it bothersome?” Gu Shengyin asked, “I can tell you’d prefer to be in your room tapping on the wood fish.”

Yuan Xiu shook his head: “Occasionally coming out to look around is quite refreshing.”

Though he truly didn’t much like such noisy environments, seeing the little fox benefactor’s eyes filled with enthusiasm surprisingly brought him inner peace.

Since he was already accompanying her out, naturally, it was best to enjoy the outing.

Gu Shengyin suddenly spoke: “I remember there’s a Clear Pond over there, full of blooming lotuses. Shall we go take a look?”

Yuan Xiu glanced in the direction she mentioned, seeing it was rather dim and evidently not lively at all, even fewer lanterns than elsewhere.

If the little fox benefactor was happy, then he stepped towards that direction.

The place was very quiet, with a Laughing Cold Pavilion by the Clear Pond. Two lanterns were seasonally hung at the pavilion’s corners, providing the sole light there.

Night breeze carried the unique fragrance of lotus flowers, and Yuan Xiu only felt his spirit lifting.

He wondered why such a wonderful place happened to have no visitors?

“Close your eyes,” Gu Shengyin suddenly said.
