Chapter 4919 4922 [Borrowing an Umbrella for a Tour on the Lake]

When Xiang Nan saw this, he secretly called it a "monster".

But he is an experienced person after all, so he won't be tempted by such a small scene.

He pretended to be frightened and immediately stood up and went to the bow of the boat.

Seeing this, the White Snake felt even more proud, thinking that he was indeed an honest man.

Then she picked up the umbrella, went to the bow of the boat, and held it up for Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan reached out to take the umbrella, but Bai She did not let go. With a tug, their hands naturally touched each other.

However, Xiang Nan's hands were warm, while Bai She's hands were a little cold.

The two stood on the bow of the boat, holding an umbrella together, and crossed the lake together.

Xiang Nan's body was stiff and he looked straight ahead the whole time, not daring to look at the white snake beside him.

However, the White Snake secretly glanced at him several times. The more she looked, the more moved she became. He was indeed the honest man she had chosen.

After a while, the boat docked.

"Do you want to unload?" The dock worker came forward to solicit business and lowered the planks.

"No need, it's a gift for someone else." Xiang Nan replied.

"Young man, be careful, the boat is slippery." White Snake let go of the hand holding the umbrella and reminded softly.

Xiang Nan held an umbrella, stepped onto the plank, and walked onto the dock. He suddenly looked back, then walked back to the bow and handed over the umbrella in his hand, "Girl, let me lend you this umbrella to keep you out of the rain..."

He handed the umbrella to Bai She, and suddenly said awkwardly, "Ah, so... you already have an umbrella~"

I saw two exquisite oil-paper umbrellas in the cabin.

"I can't refuse such a kind offer, thank you very much, sir." The white snake took the umbrella and said, "Come to my humble abode tomorrow to get it."

At this time, the boatman had already rowed the boat away from the dock.

"My home is in Shuanghuafang, Jianqiao. It's the family with the surname Bai at the entrance of the alley." White Snake said hurriedly.

"Is this the Bai Mansion at the end of Shuanghuafang Lane in Jianqiao?" Xiang Nan asked loudly, and then introduced himself, "My name is Xu Xian, I'm from Qiantang, and I teach at the academy~"

"Last name?"

"Surname Xu~"

"I'm from Qiantang and I'm a teacher."

The workers on the dock all gathered around and joined in the fun.

As soon as they saw Bai She's charming face and Xiang Nan's dazed look, they knew they were a pair of infatuated man and woman.

……

Xiang Nan watched the White Snake's boat sail away, then turned around and returned to the city silently.

Silent all night.

The next day, Xiang Nan took a special leave from the library, and then went to Jianqiao Shuanghuafang with a lunch box.

The food box contained some Jiangnan snacks, such as mugwort green rice balls, osmanthus cakes, lotus cakes, plum cakes, etc.

After a short while, we arrived at Jianqiao Shuanghuafang.

Even from a long distance away, you can see that the place is filled with evil spirits and a heavy yin energy.

When I got closer, I saw a very grand and tidy courtyard with red doors and embroidered houses and lush vegetation. It was obviously a residence of an upper-class family.

However, Xiang Nan was a cultivator, so he naturally knew that this house was created using magic and should not be taken seriously.

"Jianqiao Shuanghuafang...Bai Mansion..." Xiang Nan walked over leisurely carrying a food box.

I saw a lot of realgar powder scattered around the Bai Mansion, and an old Taoist priest and two young Taoist priests sitting in front of the door.

There was also a banner next to him, which read "Master Maoshan, the master who conquers demons and monsters, Quanzhenzi". I guess the old Taoist's name was Quanzhenzi. "Master, there's someone." The young Taoist immediately reminded Xiang Nan when he saw him.

"You only call me when there are monsters, not when there are humans." Quan Zhenzi was meditating with his eyes closed, and when he heard this, he said in dissatisfaction, "Tell him to get out of the way."

"There are demons causing trouble here. No one should approach." The young Taoist priest immediately stepped forward to stop them, "Please stay away."

"Excuse me, has something happened to this family?" Xiang Nan asked.

"There are two snake spirits in the house. They are exploring the way here." Quan Zhenzi explained, "This house and garden were created by sorcery. You, an outsider, should leave immediately!"

"That's true. I haven't heard of such a large courtyard in this area." Xiang Nan nodded.

At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily again.

The realgar powder sprinkled around Bai's house was quickly washed away by the heavy rain.

It turned out that the White Snake knew that Xiang Nan was at the door, and was worried that Quan Zhenzi would ruin her good deeds, so she cast a spell to break his realgar formation.

"Can it summon the wind and rain? The magic of this snake demon is more advanced than I thought!" Quan Zhenzi was shocked to see that the white snake could summon the wind and rain and break his realgar formation.

Xiang Nan could also see that although Quan Zhenzi had some magical powers, he had only been practicing for a few decades.

Not to mention compared with the White Snake, a great demon that has been practicing for thousands of years, even compared with Mao Xiaofang and Zhiqiu Yiye, he is far inferior.

"The situation is serious. Outsiders should not block the door." Quan Zhenzi shouted, "Disciple, be careful in the fight!"

"Yes, Master!" the two Taoist children said in unison.

……

Xiang Nan ignored them and went straight up and knocked on the door.

"Xu Xian is at the door, Xiaoqing, be patient and control yourself." When the White Snake heard the knock on the door, it immediately said to Xiaoqing.

It turned out that Xiaoqing's Taoism skills were shallow, and he couldn't even withstand the mere realgar powder. He had turned into a snake again, revealing most of his tail, and was lying on the ground, spitting out his tongue.

"There's no time, let's charge in." At this moment, Quan Zhenzi drew out his sword and shouted.

"No, no, no, swords and knives have no eyes, be careful not to hurt innocent people." Xiang Nan hurriedly stopped him.

"Get out of the way. Don't block the road." Quan Zhenzi was blind in sight but not in mind. He pushed Xiang Nandao away, causing the food box to fall to the ground.

At this moment, a handful of rain poured down on their heads, immediately pushing the Quanzhen master and his disciples aside.

"Maybe the time is not favorable for us to catch monsters, let's hide first." Quan Zhenzi was almost knocked over by the water. He knew that the green and white snakes were really no small matter. He immediately put away his contempt for them and decided to leave first instead of suffering a loss.

"Yes, Master." The two Taoist boys responded.

"Come, follow me." Quan Zhenzi stepped forward and grabbed Xiang Nandao, but because he was blind and could not recognize the road, he ran straight into a tree.

"You blind Taoist priest, you can't even see the road, how can you have so many profound principles?" Xiang Nan scolded, then broke free from his hand.

"Hmph, you're calling me blind? You're the one who's blind! I don't care about you anymore!" Quan Zhenzi said arrogantly, and left with his two little disciples.

……

When Xiang Nan returned to the gate of Bai Mansion, he saw that the gate was open.

A beautiful girl in a green gauze dress and holding an oil umbrella appeared at the door, and then picked up the food box that Xiang Nan had dropped.

"Sir, my name is Xiaoqing." She came forward and said faintly, "I picked up the things you dropped for you~"

"Thank you, young lady." Xiang Nan reached out to take it.

Xiaoqing did not let go, but like the White Snake, she also pulled Xiang Nan.

At the same time, she looked at Xiang Nan with dim eyes, and her intention of teasing and seducing was too obvious, which was completely different from the White Snake's hesitant and reluctant attitude.

"Xiaoqing, why don't you go quickly? Otherwise you won't be able to catch up." Just then, the white snake appeared at the door and reminded Xiaoqing.

"Got it." The green snake agreed, then let go of the box and threw a coquettish glance at Xiang Nan, "I don't have time to play with you, honest man..." After saying that, she twisted her waist and hips and walked away.

"Old?! My last name is Xu." Xiang Nan said hurriedly.
