Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

finally.

The short-haired tomboy of that time has grown into a graceful young woman.

Especially after Wuming taught Yuanxin how to cultivate, Yuanxin, who is now at the Golden Core stage, has undergone two body temperings, and his appearance has improved by two levels.

With her waist-length hair, Yuanxin was already a beautiful young woman.

As she gets older, Yuanxin, who didn't care about her appearance before, has gradually started to dress up.

The clothes worn by the boy in the center have been changed to the long skirt he is wearing now.

Yuanxin hates everything about her past as a tomboy.

Yuanxin had complained to Wuming several times about his Dharma name, saying it sounded awful and like a man's name.

Wuming said nothing to this, but slowly said, "If you don't like it, you don't have to use it anymore. After all, I am not your master."

After that, the center point was no longer mentioned.

The center of the circle began to "rob the rich to help the poor," and incidentally used the rich people's wealth to buy himself cosmetics.

After Wuming learned of the matter, he immediately took Yuanxin to apologize and compensate the other party for their losses.

Seeing how much money Wuming had spent on her, Yuanxin felt extremely distressed.

Yuanxin was frowning for many days because of this.

"Why are you so gloomy?" Wuming asked that day.

"Of course I'm not happy! We spent so much money!" Yuanxin pouted.

Wu Ming simply shook his head: "You used that money to help the poor, and you also bought cosmetics. You got something out of it, so why not be happy?"

"Hmph! It's fine if it's that rich businessman's money! But I'm not happy if it's our money!" Yuanxin said directly, expressing her thoughts.

Yuanxin and Wuming are often like this; they always speak their minds and never hide anything.

"Amitabha......"

At this moment, Wuming simply chanted the Buddha's name and said nothing else.

After that, Yuanxin never did anything like robbing the rich to help the poor again.

In Yuanxin, Wuming saw pure selfishness in the indifference of someone who doesn't care about others.

However, on one occasion, Yuanxin rescued a mother and daughter without accepting any reward, helped a village repel bandits, and handed the bandits over to the authorities.

Wuming felt that he saw pure goodness in Yuanxin again.

The center is like a transparent stone, and you can see everything about it.

No matter what Yuanxin did wrong, Wuming never scolded him.

Wuming would only try to make amends, teach Yuanxin, and explain the consequences of her actions.

We cannot do that.

Fortunately, no matter what mistakes Yuanxin makes, they are not irreparable, and she will not hurt others.

This is the reason why Wuming has never driven Yuanxin away.

It was as if the center of the circle also knew the bottom line of the bald monk beside him.

So even if Yuanxin learned magic or something, she didn't do anything immoral or harmful.

Wuming was not worried that Yuanxin would use magic to wreak havoc on the world, because Yuanxin was not evil enough.

Moreover, the center of the circle is actually quite timid.

On the day he taught the magic of the center, Wuming once said, "If you later bring harm to the world, then I will definitely rid the people of this scourge."

Wuming believed that Yuanxin, who was afraid of death, would definitely etch this sentence deep into her memory.

Six years later.

"I taught you magic, why don't you leave?"

Six years later, Wuming asked the question out of curiosity.

In Wuming's view, Yuanxin was following him so that he could learn magic and live a life of luxury.

Having already reached the Dragon Gate Realm, she could easily find a small sect to become a steward or a retainer, and live the life she wanted.

She shouldn't have stayed by my side.

"Humph."

The center of the circle turned its head away.

"I'm just a Dragon Gate Realm cultivator, while you, monk, are a Jade Purity Realm cultivator!"

I want to reach the same level as you; only then can I be considered a master.

If I run away now, who will teach me how to cultivate myself?

There are still Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm stages to come!

"......"

Wuming remained silent.

Wuming felt that Yuanxin's explanation made a lot of sense.

He was speechless.

During the rest of the journey, Yuanxin would frequently change her clothes.

All this money was obtained through opportunities found by Yuanxin, or by helping others exorcise demons.

Wuming subdues demons and monsters without asking for any reward, but Wuming will not stop Yuanxin from receiving a reward.

In Wuming's view, whether or not to accept payment is his own business.

The center of the circle is not oneself.

Yuanxin would take some money to buy jewelry, cosmetics, and new clothes.

Gradually, I don't know from which day it started.

Perhaps it was when Yuanxin was sixteen or seventeen, the age when a young girl's heart begins to flutter with romantic feelings, that Wuming noticed Yuanxin was changing her clothes more and more frequently.

Moreover, Wuming felt that Yuanxin seemed to be becoming less and less wary of him.

When she was little, Yuanxin knew the difference between boys and girls and how to avoid suspicion.

Now, Yuanxin sometimes takes off her clothes in front of Wuming, causing Wuming, who is caught off guard, to quickly close his eyes and chant Buddhist mantras.

Not only that, Wuming didn't know what had gotten into Yuanxin, who actually took the initiative to entice him to drink alcohol and eat meat.

Wuming is not averse to drinking alcohol and eating meat.

Wine and meat may pass through the stomach, but Buddha remains in the heart.

It's just that Wuming doesn't like wine and meat.

After learning that Wuming was not afraid of abstaining from alcohol and meat, Yuanxin was depressed for a long time.

But the center quickly rallied.

During a time at an inn.

Wuming was sleeping soundly in his room when someone knocked on the door. When Wuming opened it, he saw a woman dressed scantily, half-covered.

Upon further inquiry, Wuming learned that this woman was the girl Yuanxin had asked him to be...

"What exactly do you want to do?"

After sending the woman away, Wuming asked Yuanxin alone.

"I didn't do anything."

The center of the circle blinked gently.

"I just want you to break your vow."

"Break the precept?" Wuming was stunned for a moment. "Why are you so insistent on making me break the precept?"

"I'm not telling you," Yuanxin grumbled and turned her head away.

"..."

Seeing Yuanxin remain silent, Wuming felt quite helpless.

However, Wuming had no way to force the center of the circle to open.

Wuming simply said not to do that again.

After that, Yuanxin did not do that.

However, throughout the rest of the journey, Yuanxin kept whispering something in Wuming's ear—

"Even monks need to have children to carry on their family line."

"You're a man, and you're not going to kill a eunuch, so does that mean monks can't have sex with women?"

"You've already drunk wine and eaten meat. 'Wine and meat pass through the stomach, but Buddha remains in the heart.' Isn't that what you said? So what if you indulge in some women now? You have Buddha in your heart, why are you afraid of women?"

"Monk, I feel sorry for you, and you're not bad looking either. How about I let you have your fill of meat? Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The center of the circle kept talking nonsense in Wuming's ear.

However, Wuming completely ignored the center of the circle.

Until now.

Yuanxin remained by Wuming's side, teasing him with her words as they traveled together.

After so much time has passed, Wuming has developed a considerable immunity to Yuanxin's words.

......

"Monk, oh monk, why are you so stubborn?"

Walking beside Wuming, Yuanxin sighed.

"What's wrong with me? I'm just repaying you for saving my life and for teaching me cultivation. That's why I'm letting you experience the pleasures of being a virgin."

I heard about this in a book; it's something you get hooked on once you've tried it, you'll definitely like it.

"The center." Wuming shook his head and softly called out the center's name.

"What's wrong?" Her round eyes lit up. "You've finally come to your senses?"

"There's nothing I haven't figured out or haven't figured out about this," Wuming shook his head. "If you're really feeling lonely, Yuanxin, you can leave and find a Daoist partner..."

"You're the one who's lonely! Your whole family is lonely!"

Yuanxin's face turned red with anger, and she ignored Wuming.

Wuming felt that this was the best way, and it would also give him some peace and quiet.

The two fell silent and walked on until they encountered a group of refugees.

Judging from the direction these refugees are fleeing.

It seems they escaped from Han Gu Pass.

Could it be that Han Gu Pass... that young general... ultimately failed to hold it?

Chapter 774 Is there really no one here? (4000 words)

Looking at these refugees, Wu Ming was startled, wondering if the Han Gu Pass had fallen.

That young general extinguished the arrogance of Shiraisha, causing the unstoppable Shiraisha to temporarily halt its advance.

Many people even believe that this young general has enough strength and the cunning of Shiroshima.

But now it seems that one young general is still not enough!

He only brought White Island to a temporary halt...

That checkpoint, in the end, still fell...

The impact on Qianling Continent if this pass were to fall was immeasurable, even after only a brief consideration.

"Hurry up, everyone hurry forward, we'll be at Qicheng soon."
