Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Late at night.

Cheng Mo came out of the study and found a chair to sit down.

After a moment of quiet reflection, I entered the inner scene again.

The chaos before my eyes dispersed, and heaven and earth took shape.

Cheng Mo stood in the world he had created and began to think about the questions he needed to ask.

The matter of Xia He's parents, Dou Mei herself, and that mysterious group of distributors.

As the thought arose, a ball of light appeared before him, the size of a fist, several times larger than the previous news ball of light.

Cheng Mo reached out and passed through the ball of light again.

A flood of fragmented images instantly rushed into my mind—

The purchasing agent was squatting by the roadside smoking when Dou Mei walked over. The two chatted for a few minutes, and the purchasing agent's eyes began to glaze over, and his expression became dazed. After that, he was like a puppet being controlled, following Dou Mei's instructions to place an order at Xia He's parents' factory.

The arrest of the purchasing agent was also orchestrated by Dou Mei. She made a phone call, and someone reported the purchasing agent's embezzlement.

Cheng Mo continued reading.

The group of distributors gathered in a conference room. A young man wearing glasses stood on the stage with a gentle smile; it was Shen Chong.

One by one, the distributors stepped forward. Shen Chong placed his hands on their shoulders, channeling his Qi into their bodies. Their expressions became fervent, their eyes filled with adoration.

Cheng Mo suddenly realized.

These distributors all borrowed Shen Chong's Qi and had long been puppets under Shen Chong and Dou Mei's control. They were provided with funds for their enjoyment in normal times, and when trouble arose, they were simply abandoned and used as scapegoats.

Cheng Mo had always thought that Shen Chong could only lend Qi to extraordinary people, but he never expected that ordinary people could do it too.

Moreover, ordinary people have no resistance to it; once they borrow Qi, they become addicted and completely turn into puppets.

Cheng Mo didn't ask them why they had approached Xia He.

That's no longer important.

What these guys did has already determined their fate.

The most troublesome issue now is the time factor.

Cheng Mo needed to know when these guys would make their move.

The thought had just arisen—

A ball of light appeared in front of me.

Cheng Mo was stunned.

This ball of light... was as big as Big Yellow, hovering there, emitting a faint glow.

That doesn't make sense.

It's just a matter of time; it shouldn't have much of an impact.

He carefully reviewed the knowledge he had learned today.

The more defiant and interfering with fate the problems within the inner world, the larger, harder, and more difficult the sphere of light becomes to break.

So... is the difficulty of this problem due to the interference of fate?

Because Xia He and I have a close relationship, her fate is closely related to my own, which is why the sphere of light is larger.

No, no, that's not right.

That's not the reason.

The reason is that the time to take action is in the future, and the matter itself is uncertain; it may change due to various factors.

He himself is one of the variables, which is why the sphere of light is so big.

Cheng Mo pondered for a while.

The interior has a lot of depth, and there are so many things that can be explored. Let's take it slow.

He reached out and inserted his hand into the sphere of light.

The answer came to mind, and there was still enough time.

Cheng Mo's lips curled up in a smile.

I'll study the spells a bit more. In the meantime, I'll just keep in touch with Xia He.

Consciousness rises to the surface, exiting the inner vision.

Cheng Mo took out his phone and sent Xia He a text message: "Reply to me tomorrow morning, something's up."

After sending the message, I put away my phone and went back to my room to sleep.

……

The next day.

Xiangfan City.

Xia He got out of bed, reached for her phone, and glanced at it. There was a text message from Cheng Mo.

She dialed directly.

Beep—Connection complete.

"Hey, little Taoist priest, what's up?"

Cheng Mo's voice came through the receiver: "Dou Mei's target is you."

Xia He was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Cheng Mo: "You know what a warlock is, right?"

"Yes, I know." Xia He realized what was happening. "You asked someone to settle my matter?"

Cheng Mo: "No. I opened the indoor scene, so I can ask questions directly inside."

Xia He: "???"

She was a little confused: "Didn't you just have a sense of Qi?"

Cheng Mo: "Actually, I didn't tell you before, but I sensed the Qi after I opened the inner vision."

Xia He was silent for three seconds: "...Little Taoist, you really are a monster."

Currently reading: Chapter 126 Let me calculate, what kind of demons and monsters are you? The latest chapter is available here.

"Don't give me that nonsense." Cheng Mo ignored the topic. "Dou Mei isn't alone. You'd better clear your parents out of the picture first. My personal suggestion is that you directly notify NaDuTong. Dou Mei and her group have overstepped their bounds in this matter, and NaDuTong must take over."

Xia He took a deep breath: "I understand."

After hanging up, she immediately called her mother.

Beep beep beep—Connection complete.

"Mom, are you and Dad both working at the factory?"

The roar of machinery came from the other end of the phone, mixed with Liu Yuping's voice: "Yes, yes, what's up?"

Xia He said, "I'm going out to play with my classmates, don't worry about me eating."

Liu Yuping: "Go ahead, go ahead, don't stay out too late."

After confirming that her mother was alright, Xia He hung up the phone, tidied up, and went out.

Xiangfan City is a famous cultural city in Hubei Province, and Nadutong naturally established its office area there.

Xia He took a taxi there.

The taxi drove for more than 20 minutes before finally stopping in front of a warehouse.

The driver turned around and said, "Excuse me, young lady, it's not easy to turn around over there. Could you please get off here?"

Xia He looked out the window; the office building of Na Du Tong was still about a kilometer away.

The taxi sped away.

Xia He walked in that direction, but had only taken a few steps—

"Where is Miss Xia heading?"

Xia He turned her head.

Dou Mei came out of a coffee shop with a gentle smile.

Xia He stopped and frowned at her: "What are you doing here?"

Dou Mei smiled gently as always: "So only Miss Xia is allowed to follow me, but I can't follow you?"

Xia He took a half step back, maintaining her distance: "Was that taxi driver one of yours too?"

Dou Mei shook her head: "We don't have that many people. Only someone like Miss Xia can become one of our own."

Xia He suddenly smiled, a bright smile: "Since we're family, I have to thank Aunt Dou for helping my parents through this difficult time."

Dou Mei waved her hand: "Don't mention it. We're all family now, so naturally, Miss Xia's business is our own business."

Xia He shook her head and chuckled, "I had no idea that my family's small factory could be so attractive."

Dou Mei looked at her with admiration in her eyes: "You are the most attractive one, Xia He. It's fate, really. When Brother Tu mentioned your special ability, I knew we were destined to be together."

Xia He sighed, "Oh, this ill-fated relationship... Can I turn it down?"

Dou Mei smiled gently: "I'm afraid I can't refuse. With such a wonderful superpower, why not indulge in pleasure?"

Xia He smiled: "Indulging in pleasure? Like you guys? That's quite appealing."

Upon hearing this, Dou Mei's smile became even gentler.

She never intended to be Xia He's enemy.

With Xia He around, they can indulge in wine, women, wealth, and power, and manipulate emotions to play with others.

In her eyes, Xia He was a natural teammate, a natural member of the Quanxing.

Xia He is now being misled and trying to control her desires, which is laughable.

Fortunately, Xia He understood the pleasure of indulgence, and it wasn't too late.

Dou Mei's voice grew even softer: "Yes, indulgence. We don't need to restrain ourselves, we don't need to suppress ourselves, and we don't need to pretend to be normal."

Her vital energy began to be released.

The energy, formless and intangible, drifted slowly toward Xia He as she spoke, attempting to break down her mental defenses.

Dou Mei's Qi is like wine.

It makes people indulge in comfort, escape from pain, abandon sobriety, and indulge themselves.

Even experts can fall victim to a trap without realizing it.

Xia He then fell victim to the trap.

Her suspicions and resistance towards Dou Mei were slowly disappearing.

There's no need to resist; accepting their arrangements is perfectly acceptable.

The moment the thought crossed Xia He's mind, her heart skipped a beat.

wrong!

The young Taoist priest said that this woman's ability was to manipulate emotions.

It seems the other party made the move.

She calmed herself and unleashed her supernatural abilities.

Her superpower was supposed to only be effective against men, but over time she has improved her use of it.

Especially after being able to roughly control some of the pores, the superpower seemed to change.

It can affect not only the opposite sex and the same sex, but also other living beings. It can make people feel good about it and want to get closer to it.

The two streams of energy converged in the air.

There was no collision, no impact, just entanglement and permeation, each containing the other.
