I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

“I understand that principle, but no matter what, she is still my aunt.”

Bai Ling's eyes filled with tears, and she suddenly grabbed Qin Yao's wrists with both hands: "Holy Monk, I beg you, as long as you let her go, I am willing to accept your salvation."

“Your karmic ties are not yet severed, so how can you accept salvation? However, I also do not want to see you suffer so much grief that you hate me for being heartless.”

Qin Yao sighed, then said to Hua Niang, "For Bai Ling's sake, I'll let you go today. I hope that from now on, you can turn over a new leaf, start anew as a demon, and stop bothering Cui Junsheng, and stop trying to cut out hearts to harm people. Otherwise, there will surely be human disaster."

Hua Niang suddenly transformed into a rotten-faced fox, emitting mournful cries.

Qin Yao knew she was feigning weakness to the enemy, and even knew she would not give up easily.

But compared to being hated by Bai Ling, the trouble caused by letting her go was nothing compared to the fact that the two sides parted ways.

After all, with his current strength and trump cards, let alone this mere fox demon, even if the Roc and the Lord of Qiankun Cave joined forces, they could not truly threaten his safety!
"You'd better watch yourself, and don't let me see you again." With this final warning, Qin Yao slowly raised his hand and released the seal of the law.

"Thank you, Holy Monk, thank you, Holy Monk." Bai Ling smiled through her tears and kowtowed repeatedly.

However, the old fox she saved only glanced at her, without even a word of thanks, and quickly turned and left.

"They have no conscience," Zhao Bin couldn't help but complain.

"Even with a conscience, one wouldn't commit the heinous act of ripping out a heart," Qin Yao said calmly.

Zhao Bin was speechless.

"She won't come looking for me again, will she?" Cui Junsheng swallowed hard and asked nervously.

"Don't worry, it definitely will."

Qin Yao said, "You think that what I just said about letting the tiger return to the mountain will become a great threat, or that it will become my great threat?"

"Don't be naive. Even if she cultivates for another ten thousand years and encounters countless extraordinary events, she still won't become a major threat to me."

Cui Junsheng felt a chill in his heart and suddenly knelt down: "Holy Monk, you can't just ignore this! As the saying goes, if you're going to do something good, do it to the very end..."

"Pooh."

Zhao Bin suddenly spat and said, "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't been so accepting of everyone, how would she have gotten involved with you?"

Cui Junsheng dared not refute, and said with a forced smile, "It's my fault, it's my fault. From now on, I will definitely correct my mistakes."

Qin Yao said, "Let's go back to the Cui residence first. You'd better not come to this bamboo garden in the back hill again..."

"Ah, ah, ah, ah." Under the cover of night, on the desolate mountain peak, Hua Niang unleashed streaks of purple light in a fit of rage, blasting terrifying holes in the surrounding mountains.

High in the sky, a golden-winged roc, which was flying at high speed, heard the noise and suddenly swooped down. As it swooped down, its body transformed into the image of a middle-aged man and hovered above the mountain peak.

Hua Niang keenly sensed his presence and, without saying a word, launched clusters of purple light at him.

The newcomer didn't make a single move, but a layer of golden light shone from his body, blocking all the attacks.

"The Buddha's light shines everywhere, are you here to capture me?" Hua Niang was shocked and quickly withdrew her hand and flew away.

The roc shook its head and said, "No, I'm just curious what's wrong with you."

Hua Niang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just a little upset. Please forgive me for disturbing you, Your Excellency."

The roc gazed at the hatred and resentment between her brows and suddenly said, "It is fate that we have met. Why don't you tell me what grievances you have suffered?"

Hua Niang was taken aback, and then, as if possessed, recounted her own experience.

Of course, in her account, she and Cui Junsheng were deeply in love, while Daoji was a hateful monk who forcibly broke up their marriage.

"Daoji..." After hearing this, the roc slowly narrowed its eyes.

He had just come out of Qiankun Cave when he learned from the cave master that the reincarnation of Jianglong was Daoji.

Unexpectedly, I heard that name again so soon.

"Your Excellency is acquainted with Daoji?" Hua Niang immediately became nervous again and asked tentatively.

“We don’t know each other, but he was my mortal enemy in a past life,” the Roc said.

Hua Niang was overjoyed and quickly said, "Your Excellency's strength is unfathomable. Please join me in killing Dao Ji. Let us settle our scores and avenge our grievances."

The roc shook its head and said, "No."

Hua Niang's expression stiffened slightly: "Even you are no match for him?"

"It's not just about strength; he represents the officials, while I represent the thieves."

"Let alone whether I could kill him, even if I could, I wouldn't kill him unless absolutely necessary, lest I incur the wrath of the Buddhist Kingdom," the Garuda said earnestly.

Hua Niang was overjoyed and then devastated, collapsing weakly to the ground: "The world is unjust, the world is unjust!"

There is no such thing as fairness in this world, only might makes right.

The roc said, "Don't even mention a little fox like you. Take me for example. I have noble blood and extraordinary talent. I am the supreme among demons, yet I was forcibly taken as the Buddha's mount."

Countless years of domestication had gradually made me resign myself to my fate, but I never imagined that simply dozing off during a sermon would result in the Buddha publicly berating me in front of all the Buddhas, causing me to lose face completely.

Hua Niang: "..."

Because they shared the same plight, she deeply understood the helplessness in the other person's heart.

"Don't you want revenge?" After a moment of silence, Hua Niang asked softly.

The roc raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

“If Daoji is the reincarnation of a great Buddhist being, you may not be able to kill him, but you can lure or force him into the demonic path. In this way, you will not only take revenge on Daoji, but also on Tathagata,” Hua Niang said.

A look of surprise flashed across the roc's face.

This was indeed a path he had never imagined.

How to entice and coerce?

"Please accept me as your disciple, and I will do everything in my power to fulfill your wish," Hua Niang knelt on the ground and said devoutly.

After pondering for a moment, the roc nodded and said, "Very well, from now on, you will be my first disciple."

Hua Niang immediately knelt and kowtowed three times, then said, "The method is very simple: stir up his hatred, amplify his greed, repeatedly torment his mind, and make him intolerable to the righteous path. Gradually, he will fall into the demonic path."

The roc gazed at its cheap apprentice and asked, "Can you do it?"

Hua Niang nodded: "I can give it a try."

"Very well, then I will pass on to you the Nine Nether Profound Nether Technique and bestow upon you the Heartless Demon Blade as your support," said the Roc.

Hua Niang kowtowed again: "Thank you, Master..."

The next day.

In Wukang County, at the residence of Cui.

Cui Junsheng followed behind his wife Xinlan, constantly saying kind words in an attempt to gain her forgiveness.

Xinlan acted as if he didn't exist, busying herself with various household chores, but she didn't find him annoying, nor did she chase him away.

Standing in front of the Buddhist hall, Madam Cui watched this scene and said from the bottom of her heart, "It's only because Xinlan has a good temper that she would have divorced him long ago."

Beside him, Qin Yao smiled and said, "The old lady should also give more instructions to your young master, so that he doesn't take things for granted and then regret it later. I've seen too many cases like this, and he had some signs of it."

Madam Cui's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "I will definitely remind this scoundrel more often in the future, and never allow such a situation to occur in my Cui family mansion."

Qin Yao nodded, then said, "Very well, Madam, I'll be leaving now." Madam Cui was taken aback: "Leave? If you leave, what if that fox demon…?"

“If I stay here and keep watch, she won’t dare to approach the Cui family, but I can’t stay in the Cui family forever.”

Therefore, the only option is to retreat in order to advance, move behind the scenes, and observe the situation.

"But please rest assured, I have just passed on a divine summoning technique to my disciple. As long as he remains in the Cui residence, I can guarantee that the fox demon will not return alive," Qin Yao said.

Madam Cui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a face full of gratitude, "Holy Monk, your consideration is so thorough, I am deeply grateful."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "There's one more thing. Although Chen Liang has learned the art of summoning gods, his magic is still lacking compared to Zhao Bin's. He can't cover everything, nor can he use his divine sense to cover the entire Cui residence."

Therefore, after I leave, your whole family should hide in the Buddhist shrine and plaster the outside with scriptures. That way, you won't be afraid of monsters attacking you.”

Madam Cui nodded heavily: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

"Good." Qin Yao chuckled, and his body instantly transformed into streaks of golden light, disappearing from the old lady's sight.

"He truly is a living Buddha on earth."

Madam Cui sighed from the bottom of her heart, then quickly called to her son and daughter-in-law and instructed the servants to go into the Buddhist hall.

Two days later.

In broad daylight.

A billowing plume of black smoke suddenly descended from the sky and crashed into the courtyard of the Cui residence, where it took the form of Hua Niang.

The next moment, Bai Ling appeared in the courtyard, asking with a glimmer of hope, "Auntie, did you come to see me?"

She had witnessed the Cui family's reaction over the past two days and sincerely hoped that Daoji was wrong and that her aunt would repent and stop bothering Cui Junsheng.

Unexpectedly, the other party reappeared only two days after Daoji left.

"Bai Ling, is that monk not here?" Hua Niang asked instead of answering, while glancing around.

In fact, she hovered above the Cui residence for a full half hour, only daring to descend after confirming that there was no trace of the monk inside. However, she was also worried that he had concealed his presence and was about to trap her like a turtle in a jar.

"He's not in now."

Bai Ling said with a complicated expression, "Aunt, although he's not here, he already knew you would come back... You can't fight him, hurry up and leave, there's still time."

“I may not be able to defeat him, but can’t I defeat his arrangements?” Hua Niang looked towards the Buddhist hall covered with Buddhist scriptures and called out loudly, “Junsheng, Junsheng, come out quickly, I am your Hua Niang.”

Inside the Buddhist hall, Cui Junsheng trembled uncontrollably: "You are not my flower maiden, you are a monster, a faceless monster."

Hua Niang was furious and silently clenched her fists.

“Speaking of which,” Bai Ling suddenly said, “Aunt, I have no problem with you using a disguise, but why did you transform yourself into my likeness?”

Hua Niang suddenly turned around and coldly said, "Didn't you also choose this human face when you transformed? If you can choose, why can't I?"

Bai Ling said, "It's different. When I chose this face, the other person was already dead. But you're using my face while I'm still alive."

“Who said I’m using your face? Can’t I be using the face of the deceased?” Hua Niang questioned.

Bai Ling: "..."

That's a bit of sophistry, isn't it?

"Get out of the way, don't get in my way." Hua Niang pushed the other person aside and strode towards the Buddhist hall.

Bai Ling said, "You can't get in."

Hua Niang struck the door with her palm, but at that moment, the Buddhist scriptures pasted on the door suddenly flashed with golden talismans, easily dispelling the magic in her palm strike.

Bai Ling sighed.

She finally understands what it means to be stubborn and inflexible.

Hua Niang stared at the Buddhist hall for a long time before suddenly leaving.

Bai Ling knew that the other party might have remembered something and would not give up easily.

Sure enough, just half an incense stick later, Hua Niang led a full eight people into the Cui residence, seemingly to make these people remove the Buddhist scriptures.

"Auntie, please wake up."

Bai Ling cast a spell to freeze the eight people, and said lightly, "If you insist on going your own way, what will happen if you fall into Daoji's hands again? How can I plead for you then?"

“My affairs are none of your business,” Hua Niang said coldly.

Bai Ling said, "If I hadn't taken care of you, you would be dead by now. Daoji may be a monk, but he is not an indecisive one."

Hua Niang did not respond, cast a spell to release the eight people from their immobilization, and once again manipulated them to grab the scriptures.

Bai Ling frowned, hardened her heart, and flashed to the front of the Buddhist hall, repelling all eight people who reached out to her:

"Hu Huahua, let me tell you, no matter what, I will not let you into the Buddhist hall today."

Hua Niang was furious: "Bai Ling, I think you've been completely tamed by that monk! You're a demon, what kind of demon protects a human?"

Bai Ling said with a firm gaze, "I am a demon, but I also know how to be grateful. Daoji... Daoji has treated me well, and I cannot let him down."

"You've really gone mad." Hua Niang was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"In my opinion, Aunt, you've gone mad. Think about it carefully, why do you have to be so stubborn?" Bai Ling advised kindly.

Hua Niang gave her a cold look, then suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke and shot straight into the sky.

Lingyin Temple.

In the back mountain.

Qin Yao sat cross-legged under a big tree, observing the situation in the Cui family compound through the Xuan Guang Mirror, a smile gradually appearing on his lips.

Judging from his behavior, this little fox is indeed worth his extra effort in extraditing.

"Uncle Daoji, Uncle Daoji..."

Suddenly, shouts came from afar, growing louder as they approached.

Qin Yao waved his sleeve, dispelling the Mystic Mirror, jumped down from the tree trunk, and asked loudly, "What is it, Bi Qing?"

In sight, Bi Qing, dressed in blue, strode over and said with a smile, "Reporting to my master, it was the abbot who sent me to ask you when the monks in the temple will be able to go down the mountain..."

Qin Yao blinked, then remembered that Bai Ling had threatened Guang Liang before going down the mountain.

However, Black Wind is still lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike, making the descent down the mountain truly dangerous...

"Who wants to go down the mountain?"

“Procurement,” Bi Qing said. “The various ingredients in the mountains are gradually being used up. If we continue to close off the area, there will be nothing left to eat.”

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said, "Go back first and tell him that I will give him an explanation for this matter."

Bi Qing nodded: "Yes, Uncle-Master."

In the blink of an eye.

Qin Yao entered the Jingxin Nunnery alone, and smiled at Shengde and Mingzhu, who were looking towards him from the courtyard: "Fellow practitioners, I've come to discuss something with you..." (End of this chapter)
