I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"I do, of course I do."

Cui Junsheng hurriedly said, "Holy Monk, I have truly repented and have no intention of having any further involvement with that female demon."

"If that's the case..."

Qin Yao suddenly teleported in front of him, raised his right hand, and gently touched the space between his eyebrows with his index finger. Using his great supernatural power, he condensed the Summoning Technique into a law rune, which quickly merged into the other's body:
"After a while, Hua Niang will definitely come to the Cui residence again. When she sees that you are still alive, all her resentment will surely turn into an obsession to kill you. This talisman can protect you."

“Holy Monk, what about my family? Could you please also place this divine talisman on them?” Cui Junsheng pleaded.

Qin Yao smiled slightly: "It seems you have indeed changed... Of course, bring your son along too, to make sure everything is in order!"

In the blink of an eye, as he watched him plant the divine talismans on all four members of the family, Zhao Bin pursed his lips, suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed three times: "Holy Monk, please accept me as your disciple as well."

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound, their expressions varying.

For example, Chen Liang had a "I knew it would be like this" expression, while Cui Junsheng was eager to try, as if he also wanted to become an apprentice...

With a faint smile on his face, Qin Yao asked, "Why do you want to become my disciple?"

Zhao Bin said, "Although I have some martial arts skills, they are enough to deal with ordinary bandits and bullies, and they are also okay to deal with ordinary scoundrels in the martial arts world. But when it comes to demons and evil spirits, they are useless. Let alone fighting them, I can't even catch up with them. My goal in life used to be to eliminate evil and bring peace. In the future, I want to add the goal of exorcising demons and monsters."

Qin Yao said, "Your intentions are good, but whether I accept you or not depends on our future fate and tests. So let's put this matter on hold for now. When the time is right, things will take their course."

Hearing that he hadn't been directly rejected, Zhao Bin was already satisfied and said with a smile, "I definitely won't let you down."

"By the way, you two should also leave the Cui family for the time being." Qin Yao nodded and then said, "This time we need to take the initiative and lure the enemy out, so we can't leave any people in the Cui family."

"It is Master (Holy Monk)." The two clasped their hands in unison and said.

A blink of an eye.

three days later.

Just as Qin Yao had predicted, after Hua Niang confirmed through various means that all the monks in the Cui residence had left, she couldn't wait to sneak into the Cui residence, hide herself, and go straight to the front of the Buddhist hall.

Looking up, one could see Cui Junsheng holding a baby in his arms, while his mother and wife sat beside him with smiles on their faces, creating a harmonious and joyful scene.

Clearly, it was Daoji who returned the heart he had taken to Cui Junsheng and helped the unfaithful man return to life.

Their family is living happily ever after, but what about themselves?
Why can't she have this harmony and warmth? Just because she's a fox spirit?

Thinking of this, the fire of jealousy quickly spread from her heart to her whole body, causing her eyes to turn red uncontrollably.

Just as her blood was boiling and she was about to rip out the hearts of the whole family, she suddenly thought of the terrifying monk in blue and hesitated.

She felt that the monk must have left a backup plan before leaving, since the other party did not believe that she could easily let Cui Junsheng go.

Given this premise, the backup plan most likely lies with Cui Junsheng...

After taking one last look at the harmonious scene, Hua Niang suddenly turned around, transformed into a wisp of black smoke, and swiftly disappeared in front of the Buddhist hall...

half an hour.

Just as the family of four walked out of the Buddhist hall and sat in the pavilion to admire the sunset, the wet nurse from the mansion suddenly led a middle-aged beautiful woman slowly over, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Madam, Young Master, and Young Mistress."

"Aunt Ge, what is it?" asked Xinlan, the young mistress who was in charge of the household.

Ge's mother responded, "An elderly person in my family has passed away, and I need to rush there as soon as possible to handle the funeral arrangements and pay my respects, so I would like to ask for seven days off."

However, in case the Cui household cannot find a suitable wet nurse in a short time, I have invited my distant niece to stay with me for seven days. I ask for your permission, master.”

As she recounted her story, the three women turned to look at the middle-aged beauty. Xinlan felt that the woman was a little too stunning, so she asked, "Have you ever taken care of children?"

Hua Niang, disguised as Aunt Ge's niece, nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I raised three children myself, so I have some experience in this area. This is the main reason why my aunt asked me to come."

Xinlan remained silent for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, then I agree."

The flower maid forced herself to bow and express her gratitude: "Thank you, young mistress..."

Inside Lingyin Temple.

Qin Yao watched this scene through the Xuan Guang Mirror and thought to himself, "This time, even if you use the Heartless Demon Blade, or even if the Roc comes to rescue you personally, you won't be able to leave with me!"

Before we knew it, it was almost evening.

As she watched her niece, Aunt Ge, take her grandson to rest, Old Madam Cui suddenly called out, "Cui Ping."

"Madam." A simply dressed head maid hurriedly came to the pavilion and bowed.

Madam Cui said sternly, "Although this new wet nurse is Aunt Ge's niece, she is still a stranger. Keep a close eye on her."

"Yes, Madam." Cui Ping nodded in response.

Lean less.

The wet nurse's room.

Hua Niang looked up at the head maid who was passing by the door for the third time, a mocking expression flashing across her face.

This kind of surveillance is effective for ordinary people, but it is basically useless for oneself!

“My child, my child, we have no enmity between us, but your father is unfaithful and heartless, and this debt will fall on your head.”

After silently withdrawing her gaze, Hua Niang placed her hand on the child's neck, a cold glint suddenly flashing in her eyes.

"Stop!" Just as Qin Yao was about to activate the formation, a soft shout suddenly rang out throughout the room.

Following the sound, Hua Niang looked and saw Bai Ling, dressed in a blue and white dress, riding the wind and heading straight for the room.

"Shh!"

Seeing that the other party was about to step through the door, Hua Niang quickly waved her sleeve and unleashed a purple-black light, forcibly sealing the doorway.

"Boom, bang, bang."

Bai Ling slammed her fist on the door and shouted, "Hu Huahua, I saved you not so you could harm this child. Don't make a mistake."

Hua Niang said, "Aren't you annoying? If you still acknowledge me as your aunt, turn around and leave immediately. Don't get in my way of taking revenge."

Bai Ling said angrily, "I have nothing to say about you seeking revenge against Cui Junsheng, after all, he did wrong you. But how innocent is this child? Hu Huahua, if you dare to lay a hand on this child, I will not let you off."

Hua Niang sneered, "Ha, I never expected that my fox clan would produce a living bodhisattva."

Bai Ling's lips twitched: "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. I'm doing this for your own good."

“No, you were simply subtly tamed by Daoji,” Hua Niang said coldly. “Otherwise, even if you are kind-hearted, you should stand on the side of the demon race, not on the side of the human race.”

Bai Ling: "..."

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Hua Niang suddenly released a cloud of black energy from her palm, which rushed straight towards the sleeping baby's face.

But at that moment, countless golden runes suddenly flashed in the room, time and space froze, and everything was sealed, except for a golden portal that shone within it.

Qin Yao stepped into the dimensional gate from the other side. After dispersing the light, he snapped the seal on the door with a flick of his finger and said to Bai Ling outside the door, "You tell me, how should we deal with this fox demon this time?"

Bai Ling pursed her lips and strode into the room, only to be sealed away in an instant.

With a thought, Qin Yao lifted the restrictions of the laws of time and space on her, allowing her to walk step by step to Hua Niang's side...

"Bai Ling, save me." After realizing that she couldn't mobilize even a trace of magic power, Hua Niang was terrified and looked at her niece across from her with a pleading expression.

“Aunt, I gave you a chance, but in the end, old habits die hard,” Bai Ling sighed.

Hua Niang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said, "I am your only family in this world!"

Bai Ling summoned a sharp sword with a flick of her wrist and said, "So, let me send you off on your final journey; falling into reincarnation is better than eternal damnation."

……

After a long time.

Watching as Ox-Head and Horse-Face placed shackles on her aunt's soul and led her away from the Cui residence, Bai Ling turned and knelt before Qin Yao, bowing devoutly: "Thank you, Holy Monk, for granting my request."

Qin Yao bent down and helped him up from the ground, saying, "I only hope that you can always be good."

Bai Ling: "..."

At that moment, she suddenly realized that perhaps her aunt was right.

Under Daoji's influence, she is becoming less and less like a fairy.

"What are you going to do with this corpse?" Just as she was lost in thought, Qin Yao suddenly pointed to the fox carcass on the ground and asked.

Bai Ling gently exhaled a breath of stale air, picked up the fox corpse, and said, "I plan to bury it in the Great Snow Mountain."

Qin Yao raised his hand and hovered it in the air above the fox corpse's abdomen, using his immortal energy to pull out the Heartless Demon Blade. Then, he used the karmic fire of the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to burn away the primordial spirit imprint within.
"Keep this treasure safe and refine it carefully, but never show it to anyone easily. Only use it when your life is in danger."

Bai Ling's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm still a disciple of the Qiankun Cave Master, aren't you afraid..."

"The sword is a good sword, enough to deal with ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals, but it's not enough to deal with me."

Qin Yao said with a smile, "If it's in your aunt's or your hands, not only will it be unable to stab me, but even if it does, it will at most cause me some superficial wounds."

He wasn't exaggerating at all; in fact, he was holding back. But to Bai Ling, his words were like a resounding bell, deafening and making it difficult for her to harbor any further thoughts of being his enemy.

"Holy Monk?"

In the silence, Cui Ping passed by the wet nurse's room for the fourth time. After seeing the scene inside, she was stunned and stood at the door.

Qin Yao smiled, turned around, and waved, saying, "Hello~"

Cui Ping seemed to wake from a dream and quickly said, "I'll go and invite the old lady and the young mistress over."

"no need."

Qin Yao raised his hand to stop him: "The faceless fox demon is dead, the demon scourge has been eliminated, and I should go and attend to other matters. Please tell Cui Junsheng for me to keep a clean record from now on."

Cui Ping replied, "Yes, Holy Monk."

"good."

Qin Yao nodded in satisfaction, then said to Bai Ling, "I'm leaving now, see you later."

Bai Ling waved and said, "See you later. I should go find Chen Liang and the others too."

Qin Yao smiled, raised his hand and cast a spell, opening a dimensional portal in the room, instantly transporting him from the Cui family mansion in Wu'an Town back to the Lingyin Temple in Lin'an City.

After turning around and the portal to the annihilation, he immediately said impatiently, "System, display the details of Daoji's merits."

[Saving Cui Junsheng earns 58 merit points.]

[Assisting in the killing of Hu Huahua earns 120 merit points.]

The current total merit points for Daoji are 642.

"Fifty-eight, one hundred and twenty, this unit has earned a total of one hundred and seventy-eight merit points, which is not bad."

His gaze swept quickly over the three lines of characters, and a smile gradually crept onto Qin Yao's lips.

It's still a little over two hundred, which isn't a drop in the bucket compared to the total of three thousand. The emotional value it provides is quite good.

If after all that hard work you only get thirty or fifty points, or even just twenty or thirty, that's really not fun...

"Holy Monk~" Suddenly, the voice of the Holy Monk came from in front of the Zen temple.

Qin Yao looked up and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

Saint-De stepped through the door and said with a smile, "I have an idea."

Qin Yao blinked and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"What do you think about me passing on some true magic techniques to the monks of Lingyin Temple?" Shengde said. "If Lingyin Temple can produce more high-level magic masters, then they won't have to hide in the mountains whenever they encounter any danger."

Qin Yao: "..."

Once this precedent is set, wouldn't Lingyin Temple become a paradise on earth?

But on second thought, as Saint De said, this might not be such a bad thing.

He himself was destined not to take on projects with low returns, but these projects objectively exist and need to be addressed.

If that's the case, having more monks will surely be able to help the region...

"I have no objection to passing on the teachings, but there is one condition: you must carefully observe the disciple's character. Take Guangliang, for example; you absolutely cannot pass on any magic to him, otherwise, his first thought will definitely be to seek personal gain." After a moment, Qin Yao said seriously.

Saint-De smiled and said, "I understand, then I'll go and prepare."

Qin Yao said, "You've put your heart into this."

Saint-De paused slightly, then said frankly, "Actually, I also have my own selfish motives."

Qin Yao raised his hand: "Judging by actions, not intentions, Lingyin Temple owes you a favor."

He knew what the other person's ulterior motives were.

The reason is simply that they are worried that Manjushri might descend to earth and take them back to the Buddhist realm.

After all, compared to being constantly by Mingzhu's side, returning to the Buddhist realm would be a form of torture for him!
"Thank you, Holy Monk."

Saint-De understood the other person's implied meaning, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

Conversations among wise people are always quick to understand each other, and Daoji's statement about Lingyin Temple receiving favors from others reflects his attitude.

So if Manjushri Bodhisattva were to descend to earth one day, Daoji would never stand idly by and watch himself be taken away...

The next day.

The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.

Qin Yao lay flat on the grass atop Lingyin Mountain, covering his face with a palm leaf fan, and closed his eyes for a light sleep.

Less than half an hour later.

Abbot Yuan Kong, dressed in a kasaya, arrived at the mountain peak. After looking around, he spotted him and immediately strode over... (End of this chapter)
