Chapter 48: The Cultivation World (1/2)
When they went back to the hotel room, Cheng Yu switched on the tap in the bathtub, ”Be obedient and take off your clothes. Big Brother will help you to take a shower. After showering, there will be new clothes for you to wear.”
Cheng Yu carried the naked little girl into the bathtub and started to help her to shower, ”What’s your name?”
“Ke Ke [1],” The little girl said softly. When she saw the bathtub was filled with soap bubbles, she was very excited as she started playing with it.
“Oh, ok. In the future, Ke Ke should have the same surname as Big Brother. Your name will be Cheng Keke. Are you ok with it?”
“Ok!” Keke replied happily.
After they finished showering, Cheng Yu wrapped the bath towel around Keke and carried her out of the bathtub. Just as they were about to exit out of the bathroom, Wu Chang brought in a new set of clothes.
When Cheng Yu saw Keke was happily wearing the new set of clothes, he felt extremely elated as well. He said to Wu Chang, ”The clothes you bought are quite suitable for her. Not bad!”
“Haha! Thanks for Young Master Yu’s praise. My daughter is around the same age as her, so I bought the clothes according to my daughter’s size.” When he saw the little girl was so happy, Wu Chang face was filled with affection, as if he was looking at his own daughter.
“Keke, do you like these clothes?”
“I love them!”
“Order something up to eat. The food we ordered just now, we didn’t manage to eat them. Get something that’s suitable for the child as well,” Cheng Yu said to Wu Chang.
At night, Cheng Yu was sharing the same room as Keke. Cheng Yu was not worried about the evil spirit running away as before the evil spirit reached the large success stage, it was impossible for it to leave the host’s body. Hence, the evil spirit had to always stay inside Keke’s body. Unless the host died, it wouldn’t have a chance to seize a new host body.
Cheng Yu was afraid that the evil spirit would suck Keke’s vitality dry in order to avoid him. Therefore, he placed Keke near him so that the evil spirit would not dare to suck her vitality as it did not have any viable host body to seize. Of course, there’s a body for it to seize. But seizing Cheng Yu’s body? What a joke! If it had such an ability, would it still be afraid of Cheng Yu?
Although commoners were not able to tell how powerful Cheng Yu is, as a cultivator, the evil spirit was able to tell how powerful Cheng Yu is, even though it was just an entity without a body.
In the middle of the night, Keke opened her eyes suddenly. Her pitch black eyes had turned green. She sat up and looked at the sleeping Cheng Yu. She curled her mouth, causing it to reveal a sinister smile. The small hands turned into a claw as it grew a sharp nail that was an inch long. The hand was filled with dark evil Qi as she tried to insert her hands into Cheng Yu’s neck.
However, when her hands were an inch away from Cheng Yu’s neck, she was pushed back by his spiritual Qi as she dropped off the bed and rolled. Her green eyes and dark evil Qi hands had also returned back to their original state after the fall.
Cheng Yu got up from the bed as he went over to carry Keke back up. He placed her near him and looked at her as he frowned. Cheng Yu sighed as he held Keke in his bosom. He used his spiritual Qi to wrap around Keke before falling back to sleep.
It wasn’t that Cheng Yu was unable to remove the curse, but the curse was very complicated. How complicated it was depended on the ability of the person who placed the curse. It cannot be solved within a short period of time and he was worried that there could be an accident happening. From the point he had recognized the curse on Keke’s body, Cheng Yu had realized an issue. In this world, there was actually cultivators around. In this kind of situation, it’s impossible for Cheng Yu to help Keke remove the curse in such an unfamiliar place.
The next day, when the three of them finished their breakfast, Cheng Yu carried Keke as they headed towards the summit. As it was daylight, the scenery was very different from what they had seen yesterday. Under the sunlight, the antique buildings looked grander, causing people to feel like worshipping it. This was indeed a good retirement place that was far away from the city.
On the way up, he had been chatting happily with Keke. Cheng Yu always enjoyed such feelings. When he looked at the little girl’s small clean face with big sparkling eyes and a body full of vitality, Cheng Yu liked it. Although he called her his little sister, he always treated her as if she was his daughter.
“Big Brother, look over there! There’s a small white rabbit!” Keke pointed at the rabbit who was hidden behind a tree and said. After chatting with Cheng Yu along the way, Keke had gotten used to Cheng Yu. The way she called “Big Brother” sounded very natural.
“Do you want it? Should Big Brother catch it over for you?” Cheng Yu laughed.
“I want!” Keke said as she looked forward to getting the white rabbit.
Cheng Yu stared at the white rabbit as he walked over. The rabbit retreated before it started to escape. Cheng Yu waved his hand as he shot a strain of spiritual Qi towards it. The Qi enveloped the white rabbit, causing it to stop moving immediately. Cheng Yu went over and picked up the immobile rabbit and passed it over to Keke. Keke hugged the white rabbit in her bosom and felt extremely happy. She gave a peck on Cheng Yu’s face.
With Keke around, Cheng Yu was no longer that impatient. He slowly walked up the mountain. After about two and a half hours, they finally reached the Falei Temple.
It was not what Cheng Yu imagined. It was not domineering, but instead was a bit run down. When the three of them entered the temple, there wasn’t a lot of people. They saw a monk sweeping the floor. Cheng Yu carried Keke over and asked, ”Young monk, may I know if the Saint Master is around?”
“Amitabha. May I know why benefactor is looking for the senior monk? It’s unfortunate, as our monk has already stopped receiving any guests for a lot of years,” The monk held onto the broom and said.
“No longer receiving guests? But my friend told me that every year he would come over to greet the Saint Master.”
“I believe the benefactor is talking about Mr. Tian?” The monk said surprised. Tian Wenqing would send a large amount of incense and money over to Falei Temple every year. Hence, all the monks in this temple knew about him.
“That’s right. I am a friend of Old Tian and obtained some guidance from him. I wish to meet the Saint Master. I hope that young monk could help me achieve this. “
“Alright. I shall bring the few of you to the backyard first. As for whether or not the senior monk wishes to meet you, it would depend on your fate then,” The monk thought for a moment before he replied. After that, he brought them to the temple’s backyard.
“Devil! How dare you create troubles here!” When the few of them arrived at the backyard, a shout could be heard from a room. Afterward, a silhouette fluttered out. An old monk who was wearing his monk attire appeared in front of everyone.
