Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Dou Mei looked at Xia He and liked her more and more.

This little girl is so pretty, with delicate features, fair skin, and pink hair that shimmers softly in the sunlight.

Moreover, she is so filial and kind; she is willing to do anything for her parents.

How wonderful it would be if we could become one of our own.

Xia He also looked at Dou Mei, quickly calculating in her mind.

This woman is really capable; I almost fell for her trick just now.

Now their Qi is interfering with and influencing each other.

Xia He could sense that Dou Mei's Qi was trying to undermine her will and make her lower her guard.

However, Dou Mei was also affected by her Qi, but she didn't notice anything amiss.

Her information about Xia He was still based on the version that "it only affects the opposite sex".

In this situation, she simply assumed that Xia He was naturally likable.

After all, who wouldn't like such a beautiful girl?

She even felt sorry for the little girl in front of her. She had a special ability since she was a child and was looked at by men in various ways and rejected by women in various ways.

She must be very lonely, and she must long for someone to understand her.

The two stood there, chatting back and forth.

Dou Mei spoke highly of Quanxing, about the joy of indulgence, and the freedom of not needing to restrain herself.

Xia He smiled, listened, and nodded, seemingly completely immersed in the scene she was describing.

Time slips away unnoticed.

The two people's Qi intertwined, diffused, and spread in the air.

They had been standing at the entrance of the coffee shop for a long time.

People around them began to notice them.

First, a middle-aged man passing by glanced at Xia He and slowed down.

Wow, she's so pretty! And look at Dou Mei, this young lady is pretty too.

He stood there, staring at the two of them, and the more he looked, the less he wanted to move.

I felt lethargic; all the energy I had when I was rushing to meet the client was gone.

Never mind, we already have enough orders before the New Year, one more order won't make a difference.

Then came the second, the third...

More and more people stopped and looked at them.

The more they looked at Xia He, the more they wanted to get closer to her, but the less they wanted to move.

I felt lazy and didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to stand here and watch them.

Dou Mei's Qi and Xia He's Qi work simultaneously on them.

A young man was about to apply for a bank loan, while his girlfriend was urging him to buy a house and get married. Standing in the crowd, he didn't want to do anything: What's the point of a loan? What's the point of buying a house? What's the point of getting married? This is fine as it is.

More and more people gathered around.

The coffee shop was packed with people.

Some people stood on the steps looking down, some tiptoed to peek inside, and some simply brought shared bicycles to stand on.

……

This place wasn't far from Na Du Tong to begin with, and with so many people watching, it naturally attracted Na Du Tong's attention.

Two employees came over to check the situation, and from a distance, they sensed that something was wrong.

This is clearly the work of an extraordinary being!

The two exchanged a glance and silently pulled out their walkie-talkies.

"Calling for backup! There's a situation here. A suspected superhuman is using their powers in the street, and a crowd has gathered to watch."

A response came through the walkie-talkie: "Received, we'll send people over immediately. You need to evacuate the crowd first and be careful."

The two employees started walking towards the crowd.

But how do we evacuate them?

This group of people were clearly affected by the superpower; they were staring at the two women and couldn't be roused by their calls.

To divert their attention, you have to attract them with more sensational events.

Just then—

boom!

Click!

A motorcycle and a bread cart collided. The motorcycle overturned, and the front of the bread cart was dented. The two men pointed at each other and cursed.

The crowd of onlookers was instantly drawn to the scene.

The people on the outermost edge turned their heads and gathered around the accident scene. The people inside were also attracted by the commotion and followed them out.

The crowd surrounding Xia He and Dou Mei gradually dispersed and surged toward the scene of the car accident.

Only the few people in the innermost layer who were most deeply affected remained standing there, their eyes fixed on the two of them.

Xia He and Dou Mei were also drawn to the commotion.

Their eyes met.

They could both see the surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.

The influence of the Qi was so profound that neither of them noticed the changes around them.

Not long after, a police car arrived, and Uncle Hat jumped out and began to disperse the crowd.

"Disperse! Disperse! Don't block the way here!"

"Go do what you're supposed to do!"

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Dou Meichong smiled at Xia He: "Miss Xia, let's call it a day. Let's talk again another day."

After saying that, he turned around and followed the crowd out.

Xia He watched her disappear into the crowd, then turned and walked in the direction of Na Du Tong.

Dou Mei left the crowd and hailed a taxi.

On the taxi.

Dou Mei leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest.

The driver kept complaining about how bad business was today, and Dou Mei responded half-heartedly.

The taxi hadn't gone far when it encountered traffic police checking for drunk driving.

There was a long queue in front, and the vehicles were moving forward slowly.

The taxi driver complained, "Why are they checking for drunk driving so early in the morning? Are they crazy...?"

Dou Mei smiled and reassured him, "It's okay, take your time, there's no rush."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the car door was suddenly opened.

A hand reached in and grabbed Dou Mei's arm.

"Walk!"

Before Dou Mei could react, she had already been dragged out.

Shen Chong grabbed her and ran away.

A shout came from behind: "Stop! Don't run!"

Several people wearing NTD uniforms chased after us from behind.

Shen Chong pulled Dou Mei into the alley, winding and turning, climbing over walls and ridges.

The pursuer was left behind by some distance, but continued to chase closely behind.

The driver stood there, stunned, for a long time before he came to his senses.

……

It's in the office of Nadutong.

The person in charge is surnamed Zhou, named Zhou Mingyuan. He is in his forties and looks quite amiable.

He sat behind his desk, looking at Xia He in front of him with a complicated expression. Just now, a report came in that two people with supernatural abilities were using their powers on the street, affecting a large number of ordinary people.

He was preparing to send someone to arrest them when one of them showed up at his door.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Go ahead and arrest them; they came voluntarily.

If we don't arrest them, it really affects ordinary people.

"Miss Xia, please have a seat."

Zhou Mingyuan poured her a glass of water and then sat down opposite her.

Xia He sat down.

Zhou Mingyuan coughed lightly: "Um... Miss Xia, could you tell me what happened just now?"

Xia He recounted the whole story from beginning to end—how Dou Mei appeared in front of her parents, how she helped her parents through their difficulties, how she followed her, how she ambushed her on the way, and how she tried to control her with her supernatural abilities.

After listening, Zhou Mingyuan's expression turned serious: "Miss Xia He, we have recorded what you said. We will immediately set up surveillance and arrest Dou Mei and Shen Chong."

Xia He nodded.

Zhou Mingyuan's expression turned serious: "If you encounter something like this in the future, contact us immediately. Don't try to handle it yourself. We must never let the situation of using superpowers in the street and affecting ordinary people happen again."

Xia He stated, "I am the victim; she attacked first."

Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand: "I know, I know, but it's a fact that your two abilities influenced each other and ultimately affected so many people around us. No matter who started it, you participated, so you have to take responsibility."

Xia He: "..."

Zhou Mingyuan continued, "Article Seven of the Code of Conduct for Extraordinary Individuals states that one must not use one's abilities to influence ordinary people in public. Article Nine states that one must not engage in conflict with other extraordinary individuals in public. You have violated both."

Xia He opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Mingyuan softened his tone: "Of course, considering that you are the victim and that you took the initiative to report the case and provided important information, we will not pursue this matter this time, but it will not happen again."

Xia He: "..."

Zhou Mingyuan continued, "We will arrange for someone to monitor your parents to ensure their safety. However, you also need to be careful and try not to go out alone during this period."

Xia He said, "I understand."
