I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Qin Yao glanced at Mingzhu and said calmly, "We'll talk about the knife later. I need to talk to Mingzhu first."

Mingzhu suddenly felt nervous and asked, "What is there left for us to talk about?"

Qin Yao asked, "Why are you humbling yourself in the Zhang family?"

After much hesitation, Mingzhu finally decided to tell the truth: "Tianyuan saved me in my past life, and I've come to repay his kindness!"

Bai Ling: "..."

What a coincidence, me too.

Wait, that's not right.

I haven't seen Zhang Liang for so long, why don't I miss him at all?

For a moment, Bai Ling fell into deep thought...

Qin Yao pretended to do some calculations with his fingers, and then said, "No, you and Zhang Tianyuan did not have this karmic connection in your previous life."

“Impossible,” Mingzhu said decisively.

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to the underworld right now to check the Book of Life and Death," Qin Yao said.

Seeing his confident demeanor, Mingzhu suddenly wavered and hesitated, saying, "But I clearly saw it with my own eyes..."

“Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes cannot represent the truth, because the eyes can be deceived,” Qin Yao said. “On the contrary, the cause and effect line will not lie.”

Mingzhu remained silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Even if it's not true, I will not leave him!"

Qin Yao: "..."

Why do I suddenly feel like I've gotten the role of Fahai?

Thinking of this, and recalling Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, he suddenly asked, "You love Zhang Tianyuan, but does he love you?"

“Of course he loves me,” Mingzhu said without hesitation. “He cares for me deeply and is incredibly considerate.”

"Have you ever considered that this kindness is because you can bring him benefits?" Qin Yao said, "Perhaps, all he loves is the benefit."

“Absolutely impossible!” Mingzhu said decisively.

Qin Yao shook his head: "If it weren't for the need to convert your merits, I would really like to respect your fate and see you suffer more."

Mingzhu: "..."

"How about we make a bet?" Qin Yao spoke up again during the silence.

Mingzhu asked cautiously, "What kind of bet?"

"Let's bet on whether Zhang Tianyuan loves you or loves his own interests."

Qin Yao said, "If it's the former, then I will not only give up the idea of ​​converting you, but I can even grant you one request. As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse. But if it's the latter, then you should sever your worldly ties and follow me in cultivation."

Mingzhu: "..."

She didn't know whether she should do it or not.

But he also felt that his chances of winning were quite high.

After all, how could Tengen not love himself?

If he were to choose between his own life and his own, Tianyuan might value his life, but what could be more important than the harmony between the two of them as a couple?
"This request could be worth ten thousand taels of gold."

Just as she was hesitating, Qin Yao suddenly said, "With this ten thousand taels of gold, you and your husband can live a life of wealth and comfort from now on, and you won't have to work so hard."

Seeing this, Bai Ling couldn't help but say, "Daoji, you don't look like a holy monk at all now. Instead, you look like a lewd monk trying to drag innocent women down with you!"

Qin Yao rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "You don't know anything. I, a monk, can predict the future. I've calculated that Mingzhu is destined to die, and at the hands of her lover. I'm trying to save her from suffering, not drag her down with me."

Bai Ling snorted lightly: "You're the one saying all the nice things, who knows if you're just fooling people?"

Qin Yao said, "Do I need to prove anything to you? I only ask that I have a clear conscience."

Bai Ling: "..."

"Okay, I promise you."

At this moment, Mingzhu let out a soft breath and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Qin Yao thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to Bai Ling and said, "Could you do me a favor?"

Bai Ling immediately became alert: "What kind of help?"

"Pretend to be a princess from Heaven, and later break the red light at the hall's entrance to rescue the grandfather and grandson."

He then used the excuse of staying at the Zhang family's house to feign a secret crush on her.

If Zhang Tianyuan takes the bait, then demand that he divorce his wife and see how he reacts.

"If he loved Mingzhu, he certainly wouldn't have gone this far, but if he didn't..." Qin Yao said slowly.

"You're so cunning," Bai Ling couldn't help but mutter, then immediately realized, "Wait, why should I help you?"

Qin Yao flicked the demonic blade: "If you help me this time, I'll return the blade to you."

Bai Ling said, "You won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Have you ever seen me lie?" Qin Yao retorted.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and realized that she really hadn't seen it before, so she said, "Isn't your wife at Lingyin Temple? Why don't you ask her for help? If you ask her for help, you can keep this knife."

“In my eyes, the debt of gratitude is far more important than this broken knife of yours. Without this knife, I won’t be affected at all. But… never mind, why bother talking to you about this? Just tell me if you’re going to do it or not,” Qin Yao said.

Bai Ling took a deep breath: "I'll do it!"

"Then let's get started."

Qin Yao smiled, and with a flick of his sleeve, he released a burst of immortal energy that transformed into a red-faced ghost king. He then said to Bai Ling, "From now on, you are a celestial being of the fourth level of the Heavenly Court's Imperial Realm. As for your name, let's call you Bi Yao."

Bai Ling couldn't help but say, "You really know how to make things up..."

Lean less.

In the main hall.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were trying every possible way to leave the house, a delicate shout suddenly rang out in the courtyard: "What kind of demon dares to mock the common people?"

"I am the King of Hungry Ghosts of Hell. Who are you to meddle in my affairs?" A cold, hoarse voice rang out.

"Listen up, I am Fairy Biyao from the fourth level of the Heavenly Court. Kneel down and admit your mistake now, and I might spare your life."

"It's still uncertain who will forgive whom!"

A roar was followed by the sounds of weapons clashing, which echoed throughout the hall.

After a full half-incense stick's time.

The sounds of clashing weapons gradually subsided, and the red light covering the main hall's entrance suddenly split open. The grandfather and grandson then saw a woman in a white dress, with an ethereal beauty, slowly approaching. She asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"This old woman pays her respects to the fairy." Grandma Zhang immediately knelt down, her face full of excitement.

Zhang Tianyuan stared blankly at Bai Ling until his grandmother tugged at him, at which point he snapped out of it and knelt down on the ground.

Bai Ling waved her hand, using her demonic energy to lift the two of them up from a distance, and smiled, "It's good that you're both alright. There's another person who's fainted in the kitchen, I'll go check on them."

"Mingzhu!" Zhang Tianyuan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ran out of the hall.

Grandma Zhang watched the two figures walk away, a thoughtful look suddenly flashing across her aged face...

Shortly after.

in the bedroom.

Under the "healing" power of Bai Lingdao's dazzling magic, Mingzhu, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes: "Grandma, Tianyuan."

"Did you see that evil spirit?" Grandma Zhang asked.

Mingzhu slowly nodded: "I've seen him."

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Grandma Zhang pressed.

Mingzhu felt a slight chill in her heart.

Is this a question a grandmother should ask?
Not only do they not care about her health, but they also suspect that her purity has been violated? "No." At this moment, Bai Ling spoke up: "That evil spirit didn't even have time to do anything before I subdued it."

"That's good." Grandma Zhang nodded and said, "In that case, let's go out first and let Mingzhu rest in peace."

“Grandma, I want to stay and take care of Mingzhu,” Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Do you know how to take care of people? The more you take care of them, the worse it gets." Grandma Zhang said, "Listen to me, just let her rest."

Seeing her husband give in once again, Mingzhu silently lowered her head.

She had indeed suffered far too many grievances in this family, and she relied entirely on her husband's love to keep going.

If even this love is fake, then...

Thinking of this, she felt a sudden chill run through her body.

a few days later.

It was dusk.

Zhang Tianyuan, who had just returned to the Zhang family's courtyard after going to the market to buy groceries, was pulled aside by his grandmother, who was hiding in a corner, and she even led him further and further away.

"Grandma, where are you taking me?"

As they gradually moved away from their home, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but ask.

Grandma Zhang looked back and, realizing she couldn't see her own courtyard at all, said seriously, "Do you like Fairy Biyao?"

Zhang Tianyuan: "..."

"I've seen how you've been these past two days. Since you like her, why not pursue her?"
What was that ancient poem again? "A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections."

"Didn't you hear what Fairy Biyao said? After she refines that evil spirit, she'll return to heaven," Grandma Zhang said again.

"Grandma, how could I be worthy of a celestial being?" Zhang Tianyuan said in a low voice.

"Confused."

Grandma Zhang poked his chest and said, "If you can win her heart, then it's up to her to figure out how to handle this."

With her support, are you still afraid you can't become a god?

Zhang Tianyuan: "..."

The next day.

While Mingzhu was in seclusion refining pearls as usual, Zhang Tianyuan nervously knocked on Bai Ling's door and said, "Fairy Biyao, I have a letter to give you."

Bai Ling raised an eyebrow, took the envelope from his hand, opened it, and found a heartfelt love letter inside. She then said:
"Have you considered Mingzhu's feelings when you did this? Or do you think I would become your concubine?"

Zhang Tianyuan said, "No, no, no, you are all great..."

"Hehe." Bai Ling chuckled and shook her head, saying, "Young Master Zhang, do you think this is realistic?"

Zhang Tianyuan: "..."

Seeing his dejected look, Bai Ling gently placed the love letter on the table: "How about this, if you are willing to divorce your wife for me, then I might consider it."

Zhang Tianyuan said pitifully, "But Mingzhu is my wife, and if it weren't for her hard work in refining pink pearls, our family wouldn't be where we are today."

"What does this have to do with me?" Bai Ling retorted, then said, "I am a celestial fairy. Even if I long for the mortal realm, I cannot share a man with another woman."

Zhang Tianyuan: "..."

In the blink of an eye.

Sunset and moonrise.

Mingzhu slowly pushed open the door to her room and went to the kitchen to cook.

At the same time, Zhang Tianyuan walked out of the hall, holding a letter in his hands, and kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard, but he could not make up his mind.

Mingzhu was chopping vegetables absentmindedly, but her eyes were always on her husband.

"cough."

Inside the main room, the old lady coughed lightly, as if urging him on. Zhang Tianyuan gritted his teeth and strode to the kitchen door: "Mingzhu, there's something I want to discuss with you..."

Mingzhu's heart trembled slightly, but she forced a smile and asked, "What is it, Tianyuan?"

Zhang Tianyuan took a deep breath and gently placed the envelope on the cutting board: "I don't know how to say it, you can see for yourself."

After saying that, he immediately turned and went out.

Mingzhu felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, but with trembling hands, she took out the two pieces of paper from the envelope. One was an explanation, and the other... was a letter of divorce!

the next day.

Having not slept all night, Zhang Tianyuan slowly approached the woodshed and softly called out, "Mingzhu, Mingzhu..."

However, there was no response from inside the woodshed. Just as he reached out to knock, the wooden door was pushed open.

"Pearl?"

Zhang Tianyuan immediately rushed into the room, looked around, but could not find that familiar figure anywhere.
However, instead of feeling sad, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this relaxed mood turned into panic when he discovered that Biyao was also missing. He started searching frantically, but to no avail.

"What are you looking for?" Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear.

Zhang Tianyuan suddenly looked up and said in a dry voice, "Master, have you seen a fairy named Biyao?"

Master Shengde frowned slightly: "Fairy Biyao???"

Lingyin Temple.

Inside the Zen temple.

After learning about Mingzhu's life from Bai Ling, Rouge couldn't help but exclaim, "That Zhang Tianyuan is simply unworthy of being a human being!"

Bai Ling deeply agreed: "All the expenses of the Zhang family were earned by Mingzhu through her hard work in raising pearls."

Oh, and there's one more thing I haven't mentioned. Do you know how Mingzhu nurtures pearls? With his own blood!

Over the years, she has shed countless tears for the Zhang family.

rouge:"……"

It's true what they say: compare goods and you'll be throwing them away; compare people and you'll die.

Compared to Zhang Tianyuan, even her own husband looks presentable now.

In front of the Buddhist hall of the Zen temple.

Standing beside the old monk Yuan Kong, Qin Yao watched the man and two demons chatting happily in the courtyard and wanted to say, "Isn't something wrong?"
Bai Ling, Bai Ling, have you forgotten that we are still on opposing sides?
"Daoji!" Yuan Kong suddenly called out.

Qin Yao quickly came to his senses: "Abbot."

“You should find a place in the back mountains to build another nunnery. Men and women should be different, and humans and demons should not live together. It is not suitable for Mingzhu to live in Lingyin Temple,” Yuan Kong said.

Qin Yao nodded: "Yes, Abbot..."

Shortly after.

Just as Rouge, Bai Ling, and Mingzhu were touring the Tranquil Hermitage that Qin Yao had built with his magic, Bi Qing suddenly rushed over in a panic and said to Qin Yao, who was standing in front of the hermitage:
"Uncle Daoji, something bad has happened! Someone is coming to cause you trouble, saying that you plotted to steal someone's wife."

Qin Yao: "..."

Although this is the result, the way he said it makes him sound like Cao Cao.

"The officials and soldiers from the yamen are all here now, waiting for you to come over." Taking a hard breath, Biqing continued.

"Is it Zhang Tianyuan?" Rouge suddenly walked out of Jingxin Nunnery and asked coldly.

Bi Qing nodded: "It seems to be that name."

"He's shameless! I'm going to go and give him a piece of my mind," Rouge said angrily.

Qin Yao chuckled, then said, "Mingzhu, you wait here in the nunnery. Yanzhi and I will go see Zhang Tianyuan and see what he has to say..." (End of Chapter)
