I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Is something the matter?" Qin Yao asked.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Ma Xiaoling retorted.

Qin Yao couldn't help but chuckle: "It's not that you can't come to see me unless there's nothing wrong, it's that you usually don't come to see me unless there's nothing wrong."

Ma Xiaoling was momentarily speechless, then asked, "This really isn't anything important... Are you free? I'd like to buy you a drink."

Actually, after hearing about "Xinjiu" (a type of Chinese liquor), her aunt asked her to bring her a glass. Coincidentally, she also wanted to drink, so she came to find someone to drink with.

"Let's go when you have time," Qin Yao agreed with a smile.

A short while later, the two walked into the Waiting Bar side by side. Just as they were heading towards the counter, a young man with medium-length hair suddenly stepped past them and went to the counter first.

Inside the counter, Bai Susu glanced quickly at the couple standing not far away, then asked the young man in front of her, "Is there something you need, Zhengzhong?"

Kim Jung-jung took a deep breath: "Not replying to my messages is one thing, but not answering my calls either, what exactly do you mean by this?"

His connection with the other party began with a woman named Xiaoqing. At that time, Xiaoqing said that her older sister, Bai Susu, was obsessed with the Legend of the White Snake and had been waiting for her destined Xu Xian to appear. She asked him to help her play the role of Xu Xian so that he could fulfill his sister's wish.

Unable to resist the other party's repeated requests, he finally agreed to this somewhat absurd suggestion. Little did he know that he would fall in love with Bai Susu at first sight. Even more unexpectedly, although the two of them had gotten along quite well, Bai Susu had completely changed after that night when they parted...

"Zhengzhong, don't come looking for me anymore. It's not good for either of us to keep entangled with each other," Bai Susu said sincerely.

"I want to know what made you suddenly change your attitude," Kim Jung-jung said, looking resentful.

Bai Susu said calmly, "It was your words that woke me up and made me realize that it's best not to do things that harm others and yourself."

Kim Jung-jung was taken aback, then suddenly recalled the question the other party had asked that night.

Yes.

Her change in attitude towards herself began from that moment.

What does "harming others harms oneself" mean?

"Stop asking. One question will lead to many more, and it will take forever to explain." Bai Susu waved her hand and said, "Let's go back. This is the end of our entanglement."

Kim felt as if he were being cut by a knife, and silently clenched his fists: "Fine, I misjudged you."

Having said that, he resolutely turned and walked away past Qin Yao and Ma Xiaoling...

"I'm sorry, you all had to see this."

She secretly let out a breath and forced a smile as she looked at the two people in front of her.

The two then approached the counter under her gaze. Ma Xiaoling hesitated, but Qin Yao smiled and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Bai Susu replied sincerely.

She knew very well that what truly prompted her to make up her mind was the warning he gave her when they first met, and the sigh he uttered when they met again.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "I just don't want to see your thousand-year-old Dao Fruit dissipate in a single day, and end up ashes."

How bitter is Bai Susu's fate?
When she fell in love with Xu Xian, she had to fight a life-or-death battle with Fahai.

After Xu Xian fell into reincarnation, he waited year after year, from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present.

After their reunion, Fahai was summoned again. After a decisive battle, Jin Zhengzhong was seriously injured. In order to save him, Bai Susu gave him her inner core and faced death with equanimity.

If Jin Zhengzhong could remain chaste for love like Bai Susu, Qin Yao would think that Bai Susu's love was worthwhile.

But fate had it that after Bai Susu died, Jin Zhengzhong immediately married Xiaoqing.

After Xiaoqing's death, he turned around and became obsessed with Sadako...

In contrast, Bai Susu's years of waiting were truly a waste of all her love.

"A thousand-year-old Dao Fruit?" Ma Xiaoling exclaimed in astonishment.

Bai Susu nodded: "Yes, I'm over 1,500 years old."

Ma Xiaoling: "..."

While he was still in shock, Qin Yao flipped his hand and took out a golden talisman, gently placing it on the counter:
“My original intention was not to see your Dao fruit dissipate, and this original intention came from doing what I felt at ease, which is to say, having clear thoughts. Now, your self-salvation makes me feel quite comfortable, so I don’t mind helping you one more time.”

Bai Susu looked down at the golden talisman and saw a powerful energy hidden within it, shimmering with a faint golden glow: "No, this thing is too precious, I can't accept it."

Qin Yao said, "If you don't accept it, your chances of surviving the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man will not exceed 50%."

Bai Susu's pupils contracted: "You even noticed that?"

The Five Signs of Decay of the Celestials are a major calamity in her destiny. It is unknown when it will occur, but once it does, she will face the most terrifying survival crisis!

"Take it. Cultivate diligently in the future. I may need your help sometime," Qin Yao said gently.

Bai Susu remained silent for a moment, then carefully put away the golden talisman as if it were a precious treasure: "I will never forget your great kindness to me in this lifetime!"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Let's mix some wine..."

Japan.

Inside a luxury mansion adjacent to Mount Fuji.

Kazuo Yamamoto stood in front of a wooden table, gazing at the national guardian stone spirit on the table, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Since transporting the crab-shaped national guardian stone back to Japan, he has tried to destroy it using different methods, but all of them have ended in failure.

After racking his brains for a long time, he finally came up with an idea. If even this idea couldn't work, then it was certain that the stone spirit couldn't be destroyed in Japan...

"Boss, Prince Rende has arrived." The girl in the black suit suddenly appeared at the door and said softly.

Yamamoto Kazuo suddenly came to his senses and immediately turned and left.

As he stepped out of the mansion, a black car pulled up in front of the door. A royal prince, dressed in a suit and holding a sword case, got out of the back seat and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Yamamoto."

"Your Highness," Yamamoto Kazuo chuckled, "please come in, please come in."

Prince Rende nodded with a smile, then led the other party straight into the depths of the mansion, finally stopping in front of the National Guardian Stone Spirit: "Is this it?"

“That’s right, the Kusanagi Sword is my last hope,” Yamamoto Kazuo said solemnly.

Prince Rentoku gently placed the box on the table, took out a short sword from it, and handed it to Yamamoto Kazuo: "Be careful. If things go wrong, do not damage the national treasure!"

"must."

Yamamoto Kazuo received one of Japan's three sacred treasures with both hands, silently infusing it with power, and the short sword immediately released a terrifying sword light.

Prince Rentoku instinctively took a few steps back, and then saw the aged Yamamoto Kazuo slowly walk to the crab fossil and insert the holy sword directly into it.

"boom!"

As the sword tip pierced the crab's interior, a powerful force suddenly exploded from within, shattering the guardian stone spirit, deflecting the Kusanagi Sword, and even sending Yamamoto Kazuo flying. The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, a fierce-looking monk in yellow robes, with a long beard reaching his chest and prayer beads around his neck, appeared out of thin air on the table and crushed the remaining crab fragments with a single stomp.

Prince Rentoku gaped in shock, but Yamamoto Kazuo immediately said, "Biga, quickly escort the prince out!"

"Yes, boss."

The girl in the suit immediately approached the prince and said again, "Your Highness, for your safety, please leave with me first."

"Wait, the Kusanagi Sword!" Prince Rentoku hurriedly said.

Yamamoto Kazuo swiftly handed the Kusanagi Sword to the other party, exclaiming, "Your Highness, I will explain to you later..."

On the table, the yellow-robed monk watched this scene silently, his brows gradually furrowing: "Japanese?"

"May I ask your name, Venerable Master?"

After watching the prince leave, Yamamoto Kazuo immediately asked in Chinese.

"This humble monk is Fahai. Who are you, and what is this place?" the yellow-robed monk asked coldly.

Kazuo Yamamoto's heart stirred slightly: "I am Kazuo Yamamoto, currently the richest man in Japan. The place where you are standing is one of my residences."

"They really are Japanese."

A hint of disdain flashed in Fahai's eyes, and he immediately jumped off the table: "If you were a Han Chinese, I could give you some benefits to repay the kindness of helping me escape this predicament. But you happen to be a Japanese, so I can't give you any benefits."

Kazuo Yamamoto: "..."

What did the Japanese do to you that makes you hate them so much?
"Nothing to say? That's perfect, I'll take my leave first." Fahai immediately tried to walk past him and leave the room.

"Wait a minute!" Yamamoto Kazuo suddenly turned around and shouted.

Fahai paused, "Speak!"

"I don't ask for anything in return from the monk, but I do ask for an opportunity to cooperate," said Kazuo Yamamoto.

"Cooperation?" Fahai asked in surprise, "Why should I cooperate with you?"

"May I ask what dynasty you lived in, Master?" Yamamoto Kazuo asked in return.

Fahai frowned and said, "Naturally, they were people from the Song Dynasty. Why are you asking that?"

Kazuo Yamamoto said, "As far as I know, it has been a thousand years since the Song Dynasty. In a thousand years, the world has changed drastically. You may not be able to recognize this world anymore."

I can help you integrate into this world, and I can also provide you with financial support so you can live comfortably. I only ask that you help me with a few things in your spare time.

Fahai scoffed: "Regardless of whether what you say is true or false, even if a thousand years have passed, what is there that I cannot integrate into?"

Kazuo Yamamoto said, "How about I show you this new world?"

"Why would this humble monk need you to guide him?" Fahai snorted coldly, suddenly opening his Dharma Eyes and looking around.

But when his gaze shifted from the village to the city, and he saw the towering buildings, the speeding cars, and even the airplanes gliding through the sky, he froze.

What are all these things?
Kazuo Yamamoto laughed: "Master, shall I take you for a walk in the streets?"

Fahai paused slightly, but ultimately agreed...

The next day.

Fahai, accompanied by Biga who was still dressed in a suit, arrived at the Waiting Bar and said in a deep voice, "The person I'm looking for is right here. You don't need to follow me anymore."

Biga readily agreed: "Master, please feel free to call my name if you need anything."

Fahai nodded and strode into the bar. His monk's robes immediately attracted a lot of attention, and the two sisters who were talking behind the counter changed color at the same time.

"Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, after eight hundred years, we have finally met again."

Bai Susu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Xiaoqing, go and see the guests off."

Beside him, a woman in a blue dress, wearing glasses, with an intellectual appearance and demeanor, nodded slightly and went to persuade the guest to leave.

Fahai watched this scene quietly, without intervening.

He knew very well that if a real fight broke out, these people who stayed behind would surely die!
In the blink of an eye, all the customers in the bar were asked to leave. After watching Xiaoqing lock the door, Bai Susu said seriously, "Fahai, eight hundred years have passed, and you still haven't let go?"

"lay down?"

Fahai coldly said, "Back then, you two sisters tricked me and sealed me inside that giant crab. Eight hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. What kind of life have you been living? What kind of life have I been living? How dare you say such things?"

Xiaoqing couldn't help but say, "If you hadn't harassed us so relentlessly back then, even to the point of trying to wipe us out, how could we have ended up like this?"

"Enough with the nonsense. This humble monk has cultivated in the crab for eight hundred years, and my strength is now greater than ever before. Today, when we meet again, it will be your death day." Fahai's eyes turned cold as he raised his hand, took off the Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and threw them into the air at Bai Susu.

Bai Susu's expression changed drastically. She formed a mudra with her hands and pushed it out forcefully, but the Buddhist beads still landed on her body. Each bead radiated golden Buddhist light and was covered with countless characters.

"elder sister."

Xiaoqing shouted loudly, and with a flick of her wrist, she took out the Azure Rainbow Sword and thrust it at Fahai in mid-air.

"Ding." Fahai merely raised his right hand, extended two fingers, and caught the sword tip with his fingertips. Then he pushed out his left hand, and the golden palm print flew out in the air, hitting Xiaoqing with a bang.

Xiaoqing spat out a mouthful of blood, her body flying uncontrollably backward and crashing heavily onto a table.

“Eight hundred years have passed, and you two have made no progress at all.” Fahai shook his head and took out a golden bowl with a flick of his wrist.

“Fahai, we are willing to give up everything and follow you in your cultivation.” Bai Susu’s eyes twitched and she quickly said.

"If you had said that back then, I might have been pleased, but now, you two sisters must pay the price for my eight hundred years of imprisonment!" Fahai roared.

Bai Susu: "..."

She never expected that before the signs of decay and decline of the celestial beings arrived, man-made disaster would strike first.

Perhaps, death and the annihilation of one's soul are one's destiny, and no matter how much one struggles or resists, this is the final outcome?

"Fahai, the one who plotted against you back then was me, not my sister. If you want to kill or torture me, come at me, don't touch my sister!" Xiaoqing struggled to stand up, but aggravated her injuries and coughed up blood again.

“You can’t escape, and she’s not innocent either.” Fahai glanced at her, then manipulated the golden bowl to reach Bai Susu.

In the nick of time, a golden talisman suddenly leaped out from Bai Susu's body, blocking the golden bowl and cutting off all the absorbing power.

Fahai looked surprised and silently increased his magical output, but to his shock, even with his full effort, he could not do anything to the golden talisman!
"How could this happen? Who gave you this golden talisman? Guanyin Bodhisattva, or Buddha?"

Fahai's mentality was beginning to crumble.

Eight hundred years of arduous cultivation enabled him to attain the Arhatship, and he thought he would be invincible in this world. But now he has been stopped by a small golden talisman. How can he accept this?

"I gave it to you." The words had barely left his lips when a reply suddenly rang out from behind him. (End of Chapter)
