Free Web NovelChapter 74: Chapter 62: Solitary and Fearless, the Divine Monk Wanders Off
Xu Lei couldn’t be sure.
Of course, Xu Lei didn’t dare have high expectations for a woman who cultivated an Evil Technique.
And as for her supposed heart ailment?
Xu Lei estimated that ninety-nine percent of it was a lie she’d fabricated to deceive him.
But it was just a game of mutual deception.
It didn’t matter.
It was just a matter of who was the better liar.
「Three days later.」
Xu Lei left a letter for Hui Ming and Wu Gui, then departed without saying goodbye.
His excuse to them was that he had left to wander the world.
As the world-famous ’Divine Monk Wu Tan,’ it wouldn’t do to simply grow old and die in a temple.
It was better to wander off and disappear without a trace.
To leave the world with nothing but a mysterious silhouette!
After Xu Lei and Miao Ying descended the mountain,
they soon met up with Qi Yang again.
Qi Yang was still disguised as Miao Ying’s guard.
"Oh, right, Divine Monk, this is Yang Qi!"
Miao Ying introduced him, saying, "He is my loyal guard and family servant. This time, he will also be accompanying us!"
"Greetings, Divine Monk!"
Qi Yang said respectfully, "Thank you for helping the young miss! The Divine Monk is truly merciful!"
"Amitabha Buddha."
Xu Lei wrapped an arm around Miao Ying’s slender waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace right in front of Qi Yang. His hand caressed her waist as he said, "Patron Yang Qi, don’t say that.
This humble monk is ashamed.
The truth is, this humble monk has already developed feelings of love and broken his vow of celibacy!
I am unworthy of being called a monk!
This journey is not motivated by compassion!
It is because I, just as your young miss adores me,
am deeply infatuated with her!
Her wish is my command!"
At this, Miao Ying’s body stiffened slightly. She glanced at Qi Yang, a little unnaturally.
Qi Yang’s expression twitched slightly, though he quickly composed himself.
"I heard from the young miss long ago that she adores the Divine Monk!"
Qi Yang added, "Now that the young miss has her wish, and you and she are finally united as two destined lovers, it is a wonderful story and a joyous occasion!"
"A joyous occasion indeed."
Xu Lei said, kissing Miao Ying directly on the neck, "Ever since I’ve been with your young miss, this humble monk has been immeasurably happy.
So this is what the world calls love!
No wonder they speak of the ’tribulation of love’!
To find one’s true love!
It truly gives rise to a feeling of not even envying the immortals."
"Stop. The servant is here."
Miao Ying pushed against Xu Lei’s chest, her lips gently dodging his as she said in a delicate voice, "Divine Monk, don’t... don’t be like this..." freewebnoveℓ.com
But in the end, she didn’t actually push Xu Lei away.
After all, the two of them were currently maintaining the persona of being deeply in love.
Besides, Xu Lei had already agreed to go to the immortal’s abode to decipher the ancient text.
Now, success was just one step away.
Qi Yang’s gaze was a clear warning: he would not allow her to fail when victory was so close.
"Young Miss, Divine Monk."
Qi Yang spoke again, "You two take your time. After you’re... finished, we can set off."
After speaking, he bowed respectfully and excused himself.
Xu Lei watched Qi Yang’s retreating back.
A faint smile touched his lips.
Then he grabbed Miao Ying and pushed her, facedown, onto the tea table in the room.
Xu Lei wasn’t afraid of Qi Yang.
Although in terms of Magical Power, Qi Yang was definitely much stronger than him!
But right now, Qi Yang didn’t dare make a move on him!
Besides, Miao Ying was a gift from Qi Yang to Xu Lei in the first place.
Enjoying her to the fullest was just honoring Qi Yang’s good intentions.
Furthermore, Xu Lei estimated that he was definitely not coming back from this trip to Robert Keating’s immortal’s abode!
That place would likely be his grave!
But he didn’t care.
As long as he found out the location of the immortal’s abode, his objective would be mostly accomplished.
’If I die, I die.’
「Another month later.」
Led by Miao Ying, Qi Yang, and the others, Xu Lei finally arrived at their destination!
