Chapter 81 Daily Life with a Demoness
Noticing Wanwan's little scheme, Gu Qianbei smiled slightly.
He didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Wanwan, who was standing right in front of him.
Originally, Wanwan was already very close to him, but now that he leaned in like this, their faces were almost touching, and their noses even brushed together slightly.
Wanwan was startled and immediately stood up and backed away, her face full of shame and anger.
"You! What are you doing!"
"If Miss Wanwan intends to use her seductive arts on me, you'd better forget it. Not to mention that your inner strength is now sealed, so the power of your seductive arts is less than one-tenth of what it used to be."
Even if you still have the skill, and you exert all your strength, it may not be effective.
I practice the Taoist Golden Light Mantra, which is most effective against such seductive arts.
After a brief moment of surprise, Wanwan quickly regained her smile.
She was just caught off guard by Gu Qianbei's audacity, which caused her to panic.
Now that she's come to her senses, her true colors as a vixen have resurfaced.
"So you're a Taoist disciple. No wonder you have such composure. I was just trying to tease you, but now, I've really fallen for you."
"Ugh, talking about love and romance so early in the morning, that's unhealthy. I'm not listening, it's polluting my ears."
The young monk Nian'an covered his ears in disgust, then picked up his empty rice bowl and fled the scene.
For the young monk, this plot was still too much.
"You little bald monk."
Wanwan was so angry at the little monk Nian'an that she gritted her teeth, which revealed a bit of her adorable nature.
Gu Qianbei laughed and said, "Miss Wanwan, do I look like I would believe that?"
"It's okay, believe it or not, I'm very interested in you."
Wanwan looked at Gu Qianbei with a smile, like a little fox who had discovered a new and interesting toy.
Gu Qianbei shook his head helplessly.
"I still have a lot of floor space to sweep, so please excuse me."
Gu Qianbei finished speaking and was about to leave, but Wanwan immediately followed.
"What a coincidence. The little bald monk also assigned me sweeping today. How about we do it together?"
"Then you'll have to keep up with me first."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he lightly touched the ground with his foot and instantly unleashed the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, leaving behind afterimages before disappearing in front of Wanwan.
"What amazing light-footed skill!"
Wanwan was startled by what she saw, and her curiosity deepened.
"This guy's cultivation level isn't high, but he's quite skilled. Just now he used some kind of Taoist Golden Light Mantra, and now he's displaying such amazing lightness and agility."
How come I've never heard of such outstanding disciples in the Taoist sect?
Hehe, I originally thought this month would be very boring.
Looking back now, it's quite interesting.
Wanwan wasn't worried about not finding Gu Qianbei. Yunhe Temple wasn't that big; she could find him by walking a few more steps.
Meanwhile, Gu Qianbei had already obtained a bamboo broom and began sweeping the long steps in front of the mountain gate.
There are 999 steps, and each step is covered with fallen maple leaves, creating a picturesque scene.
According to Gu Qianbei, such a beautiful artistic conception should not be destroyed, but one must consider reality.
If these fallen leaves are not cleaned up in time, they will eventually rot on the steps, turning beauty into a stench.
"I never imagined I'd become a hidden master."
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, then picked up a bamboo broom and prepared to sweep.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
"Simply sweeping the floor can be a bit boring. Why not try incorporating spiritual practice into it?"
Thinking this, Gu Qianbei began to cast the Golden Light Spell. The old bamboo broom was now covered in a layer of golden light, making it look much more durable.
"Looks good."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction, then used a golden bamboo broom to slowly sweep away the fallen leaves on the steps.
Maintaining the golden light in this way is itself a form of spiritual practice.
Sweeping the floor with a golden bamboo broom is another way to hone one's control over internal energy.
If it's too light, the golden light will shatter; if it's too heavy, the energy consumption will be too great.
This balance between lightness and heaviness is the essence of spiritual practice.
Gu Qianbei quickly found himself enjoying it.
Not long after, Wanwan also came over with a bamboo broom.
"Young master is truly heartless; he didn't even wait for me before coming to sweep the floor himself."
As Wanwan spoke, she noticed Gu Qianbei's golden bamboo broom and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Are you practicing martial arts? Is this some kind of Golden Light Mantra?"
Gu Qianbei ignored him and continued sweeping the floor.
But Wanwan continued, "That's really interesting. You can even condense your inner energy into golden light and cover the bamboo broom with it. Are you controlling the intensity of the golden light's output?"
Wanwan was also a martial arts prodigy, and she immediately saw through Gu Qianbei's purpose.
Gu Qianbei was somewhat surprised by the other party's insight, but still remained silent.
Suddenly, he felt his foot trip, and a thin, soft white ribbon caught on the tip of his shoe, then snapped back immediately.
Gu Qianbei paused slightly and turned to look at Wanwan.
But then he saw Wanwan leaning against the bluestone railing with a bamboo broom, her bare feet lightly touching the stone steps, her face full of slyness as she played with the Heavenly Demon Ribbon that had just caught on the tip of his shoe.
Her cultivation was sealed, and she couldn't activate the Heavenly Demon Technique, but she could still slightly manipulate the Heavenly Demon Ribbon even without using internal energy.
"Young Master Gu is sweeping so diligently, yet he doesn't even acknowledge her. She'll be heartbroken."
Her voice was still soft and charming, but it lacked the alluring power of the Heavenly Demon Voice, leaving only the delicate charm of a young girl.
Gu Qianbei glanced at her indifferently, then turned around and continued sweeping the floor.
"Young lady, your cultivation has been sealed, so please behave yourself."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan smiled, quickly walked around to Gu Qianbei's side, and while he was sweeping the leaves, she swiftly picked up the fallen leaves he had just swept away and threw them over his head.
Leaves rustled down, covering Gu Qianbei's shoulders and hair.
"Look, the wind has blown it all over again."
She blinked, feigning innocence.
Behave yourself?
nonexistent.
Gu Qianbei paused, shook his head helplessly, and resumed cleaning.
But as soon as he swept them into a pile, Wanwan gently flicked them with her toe, and the fallen leaves scattered again.
After several attempts, Gu Qianbei paused in mid-air with the bamboo broom in his hand, finally looking at her.
Their eyes met, and Wanwan deliberately leaned forward slightly, her eyebrows curving upwards, her eyes full of teasing.
"Young master, please try to reason with them."
Gu Qianbei remained silent, simply looking at her.
Wanwan wasn't annoyed. Instead, she bent down again, picked up the reddest maple leaf, tiptoed, and gently tucked it into Gu Qianbei's hair.
Then Wanwan took two steps back, looked her up and down, clapped her hands and laughed, "Beautiful!"
Gu Qianbei sighed helplessly as he picked up the maple leaf. Looking at the woman in front of him, who had lost her cultivation but remained as unruly as ever, he finally let out a soft sigh.
"Looks like you're really bored. How about I find you something to do?"
"Alright, please feel free to give us your orders, young master."
Wanwan stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Gu Qianbei with a funny expression.
"Without using internal energy, how about we have a friendly exchange of moves?"
Wanwan's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea. However, a direct competition is a bit boring. How about we add some stakes?"
"What do you want to bet?"
"Let's bet..."
Wanwan's eyes darted around mischievously as she pointed at the gourd at Gu Qianbei's waist.
"Let's bet on the wine in your gourd."
