The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 141 "Watch Incident" Exposed!
At 21:20 pm, Luo Fan pushed his bicycle, ready to take Xia Yu home.

As soon as they went downstairs, they ran into Xiaoxin who was pretending to pass by in the community.

Xiaoxin used witchcraft to confuse a man and pretended to go home with him.

Squirrel demon?
Xia Yu walked beside Luo Fan. Because Xiao Xin was with another mortal, it was difficult for him to cast spells.

Luo Fan didn't see clearly whether he knocked her down accidentally or she bumped into him herself.

"Sorry, miss. Are you okay?" Luo Fan took the initiative to help Xiao Xin who had fallen down. The man next to her was very angry when he saw this.

Xiao Xin had bumped into Luo Fan on purpose, but when he reached out to help her up, she suddenly saw the watch on his wrist...

In Xiaoxin's eyes, it was a red fox tail tied around Luo Fan's wrist.

"So the tail that was taken away from Ninth Sister is in your hand!" Xiao Xin looked at Luo Fan with hostility and reached out to snatch the watch on Luo Fan's wrist.

Luo Fan dodged instinctively, then thought back to what she said.

Ninth sister?

Nine-tailed fox demon?

Luo Fan raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, then turned to look at Xia Yu in confusion, as if seeking confirmation from her.

"Don't listen to her!"

Xia Yu was worried that Luo Fan would be scared after knowing it, so he did not admit that the watch was indeed a fox's tail.

It seemed that after the man was bewitched by the witchcraft, he could only react as the squirrel monster wanted, and he himself temporarily lost consciousness.

Therefore, the man was very angry when he saw Luo Fan approaching Xiao Xin. But now, even when he heard the word "monster", he didn't react at all.

Seeing this, Xia Yu stopped speaking in a veiled manner and said to Xiao Xin directly, "You didn't practice well on Qingming Mountain, but came here to do evil and cast witchcraft on mortals. Do you know your crime?"

"It's none of your business! How great is a god?" Xiao Xin didn't know where she got the courage from, and shouted at Xia Yu.

There was no one else around them, but if she continued to speak so loudly, sooner or later she would attract onlookers.

Xiao Xin saw the struggle in Luo Fan's heart at a glance. He was already doubting what Xia Yu said, and he hesitated!

"You are a fairy, but you can't even afford to give someone a watch, and you are so cruel...you try to steal our ninth sister's tail. Humph, what you did is not necessarily a good thing!"

Xiao Xin said indignantly that she was just standing up for the nine-tailed fox demon and had forgotten why she came here.

"Xia Yu..." Luo Fan felt more and more suspicious the more he listened, and he didn't care about the mortal man next to Xiao Xin, and asked again: "What she said... is it true? The limited edition watch you gave me was made from one of the tails of the nine-tailed fox demon?"

"It's fake!" Xia Yu denied it flatly.

Seeing that Xia Yu refused to admit it, Xiao Xin pushed out a demonic wind from her palm, and demonic fire flew out, igniting the fox tail on Luo Fan's wrist.

If it was a real watch, how could it catch fire?

As the evil fire started, the watch began to make a "sizzling" sound, just like meat being roasted over a big fire, and the watch began to drip oil drop by drop.

Luo Fan was horrified as he watched the watch on his wrist catch fire. The pain came over him and he was so scared that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Xia Yu quickly used a magic to extinguish the magic fire cast by Xiao Xin, and changed the deformed watch back to its original state. If Xia Yu had not acted in time, the fox tail and Luo Fan's left wrist would have been roasted by Xiao Xin's magic fire!

"You lied..." Luo Fan stared at his left wrist blankly, slowly took off the watch, and asked Xia Yu: "Why?"

When she suddenly wanted to give him a watch, he thought she had fallen in love with him and was secretly happy for several nights.

He could never imagine that this watch was made from a fox's tail. He also didn't understand why Xia Yu did this.

"I'll explain it to you later." Xia Yu replied.

A tiny squirrel demon actually dared to hurt people right under her nose!
Xia Yu waved his hand gently, and Xiao Xin was beaten back to her original form - a squirrel.

You know what, Xiaoxin’s appearance when she turned into a human is average, but her original squirrel form is so cute!
The moment Xiaoxin returned to her original form, an ancient book fell from her.

The ancient book was bought by Yan Lan from the ghost lady. It recorded the past marriages of the gods in heaven, including the one about Yue Lao and Meng Po.

The squirrel monster was made smaller by Xia Yu's magic and put into her bag. When it found that the bag was full of red threads of marriage, its heart was filled with joy.

After all, it's not common to use the red thread of mortal marriage to cushion it!
When it finds an opportunity to run away, it can also take away a few red lines without anyone noticing. Just thinking about it makes me happy!
After defeating the squirrel monster, Xia Yu also cast a spell to save the man who was bewitched by its magic.

The man came to himself, turned around and walked away with a confused look on his face.

Picking up the ancient book on the ground, Xia Yu did not immediately look at what book it was, but just held it in his arms.

She knew that she still owed Luo Fan an explanation.

Luo Fan was stunned by Xia Yu's series of actions.

Next, Xia Yu explained the reasons for "giving the watch" from beginning to end. The general meaning was that she gave the watch "solely for the purpose of protecting him."

This explanation also indirectly reflects that Xia Yu gave Luo Fan the watch not because she was interested in him.

"So..." Luo Fan suddenly smiled bitterly, "...I have always been too sentimental."

Xia Yu's heart trembled. From Luo Fan's expression, she seemed to see the sadness in his heart, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"Luo Fan..." Xia Yu hesitated to speak.

She could feel Luo Fan's feelings for her, but she had looked at the marriage book with her own eyes and knew that Luo Fan's destined person was someone else.

What's more, her master has high hopes for her, and she shoulders the important task of being the 'God of Marriage', so how dare she fall in love?
Luo Fan looked directly at Xia Yu and asked her with a glimmer of hope: "Have you ever... liked me even for a moment from the beginning to the end?"

Xia Yu was silent for a while.

She didn't know how much Luo Fan loved her, but since there was no way it was going to end well, she shouldn't drag it on... and ruin his destined marriage.

"No." Xia Yu answered calmly. Fearing that Luo Fan would be too sad, he added, "I told you that we will be 'Marriage Gods' in the future, and we cannot talk about love."

"If you don't even know how to love someone, how can you care about the marriage in the world?" Luo Fan asked back.

"The marriage of mortals is destined by heaven. I am only responsible for matchmaking for them, but I cannot play a decisive role. Just like your destined person is Bai Zhi, no one can change this fact. The reason why we cannot be emotional is so that we can focus more on our work, for..."

"This hand... no, this fox tail..." Luo Fan interrupted Xia Yu and returned the watch to her. He said sadly, "Take it back! Whether she wants revenge or to vent her anger, I'm not afraid of her."
