Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 413 White Snake Tenderness
Southern Continent, Zhou Kingdom, Longjing Mountain in Hangzhou.

The Ziwei Temple was filled with incense and had a constant stream of believers. Compared with the small Taoist temple that Jiang Lin had remembered over the past decade, it had changed a lot.

At every moment, there are believers who make the Ziwu seal with their hands, walk around the Ziwei Temple three times, and then go to the back mountain. On the cliff of the back mountain, there is a majestic statue of Ziwei Emperor that is comparable to the Leshan Giant Buddha, but it does not have any imposing awe and majesty, only compassion.

Jiang Lin had seen Ziwei Temple in this state before, but now that he had come back again, he was still a little dazed.

There was an endless stream of pilgrims, and the donation box was filled with copper coins and silver dimes, and even a lot of gold beads and gold leaves.

But all this money will not stay overnight. Except for the necessary funds for the daily maintenance and repair of Ziwei Temple, all the rest of the money will be used to save the world and the people. It will be turned into food or medicine, or used to build bridges and roads.

Such a Taoist temple, such incense, and such good deeds naturally need someone to maintain it.

However, there is only one Taoist priest registered in Ziwei Temple so far, and that is the abbot of Ziwei Temple, Jiang Xuanying.

However, the person in charge of a series of complicated tasks was not the abbot of Ziwei Temple who was only heard of but never seen.

But it was a woman in white clothes as white as snow.

It has been a long time since the rumor that "there is a snake demon in Ziwei Temple" spread.

The people may be deceived, but they are definitely not blind.

The people know very well who is good to them and who is the truly good person.

Jiang Lin sighed in his heart, his eyes seemed to penetrate through the layers of buildings and saw the figure in white who was busy in Ziwei Temple.

"Sister Xiaoqing! Sister Xiaoqing! We want to see that!"

Just when Jiang Lin arrived outside Ziwei Temple quietly, he suddenly heard a noise.

A group of half-grown little girls surrounded a girl in blue, calling her "sister" sweetly.

Xiao Qing was holding a broom in her hand, looking like a general holding a spear, majestic among a group of little girls. She smiled and raised her hand and said, "Backyard!"

"Clean it up!"

Immediately, several little girls raised their hands.

Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Weeds!"

"It's all done!"

"Then, the front hall!"

"It's done!"

"door?"

"It's clean, but it squeaks a little. Sister Bai asked us to go to the donation box and get twenty copper coins to give tung oil to Brother Gouzi and the others!"

"very good."

Xiaoqing nodded in satisfaction, threw away the broom, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Come on! Look at me!"

A group of little girls formed a big circle with ease.

'boom! ’

As a green cloud rose up, Xiaoqing's figure disappeared, and was replaced by a big green snake as thick as a bucket.

The green snake is huge in size, but it does not look ferocious at all. Even the edges of its scales are rounded. The scales look like fine emeralds, and even have a sense of luxury in the sun.

No girl can resist shiny things, and dolls are no exception.

Amid the astonishment of the little kids, Xiao Qing said, "Come up, I'll take you to Qiantang River to catch some fish."

Jiang Lin watched quietly as a group of little kids climbed onto Xiaoqing's back. Each girl was wrapped in green mist to prevent her from falling off.

Then, a huge green snake rose into the sky like a blue dragon, accompanied by the excited screams of the little girls.

This scene attracted the attention of many believers, but no one was surprised, as it was obvious that they were already accustomed to it.

"Oh, Madam Qing dotes on the child too much. He just did some odd jobs, but he could actually have such a good time in return."

"Hahahaha, Lady Bai has long said that her sister is innocent and loves to play with children. My baby is never left behind."

The believers were chatting and laughing.

Jiang Lin smiled knowingly.

People have a scale in their hearts to judge who is good and who is bad.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing never hid their identities as snake spirits in Ziwei Temple.

But none of the people were afraid.

Especially Xiaoqing. Now when the people of Hangzhou see a green snake in the sky playing with children, they feel more envy than fear.

In the front hall of Ziwei Temple, Bai Suzhen also heard the noise Xiaoqing made. She watched the green snake soar into the air and head straight for the Qiantang River, and shook her head helplessly.

"This girl has become the leader of the children."

"The King of Children is pretty good too. Xiaoqing was also a child herself."

Bai Suzhen heard a gentle voice talking to her. Her body trembled slightly, but she recovered immediately and said softly in a normal tone, "Yes, sometimes I envy Xiaoqing. She doesn't have to hide things in her heart and is happy every day."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "At least you don't have to suffer from lovesickness like me."

Bai Suzhen turned around and looked at the owner of the voice behind her.

The Taoist priest in a pitch-black martial robe stood tall and slender, with an awkward smile on his face.

Bai Suzhen said nothing, but just stared at him closely.

Jiang Lin blinked and smiled bitterly, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Bai has a deep grudge against me."

Bai Suzhen tilted her head and didn't answer. She just smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is a very busy man. How come you have time to revisit the old place today?"

It wasn't stated explicitly, but it was obvious that Brother Bai Dao's resentment was real.

Women, no matter how considerate they are, still have their own little thoughts.

Bai Suzhen certainly knew that Jiang Lin was very busy, and he was busy with important matters, so she never thought of disturbing him. She just devoted all her attention to the management of Ziwei Temple.

But understanding is understanding, and it does not prevent Bai Suzhen from saying a few words to Jiang Lin when she sees him, in order to ease her longing for him and her lack of understanding of romance.

"I have something to tell you."

Jiang Lin nodded seriously, and then said: "Come to the main hall. In front of the emperor, I can say some things more easily."

Bai Suzhen heard this and put away her little girl's thoughts. Although she felt a little bitter, she still asked seriously, "What is it about?"

At this moment, Bai Suzhen thought of a lot.

She was not oblivious to what was happening outside. She had also been paying attention to the recent major changes in the Three Realms.

When Jiang Lin comes back, he usually has official business to attend to. Although I have been prepared, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I hear Jiang Lin say that.

But Bai Suzhen quickly adjusted to this awkwardness.

Since he can use me for something, why should I hesitate?

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in the hall.

The believers had been asked to leave by Jiang Lin in advance, and now there were only him and Fellow Daoist Bai in the hall.

"about……"

Jiang Lin didn't speak until he entered the hall. Under Bai Suzhen's solemn gaze, he pointed at Bai Suzhen and said, "You..."

Then he pointed at himself and said, "It's about me."

"Ok?"

Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Jiang Lin meant.

Jiang Lin said seriously: "Friend Bai, the Emperor is my witness that everything Jiang Lin said was sincere, without the slightest falsehood." After that, under Bai Suzhen's increasingly confused gaze, Jiang Lin slowly spoke.

He concealed information about the Great Heavenly Venerable and news about the Yin and Yang Realms, and only talked about his past, his reincarnation, and the cause and effect relationship with Bai Suzhen and several other girls.

"If Jiang Lin says that he has no affection for Fellow Daoist Bai, he cannot convince himself. However, this affection is not exclusive. Now, it is even mixed with other things."

Jiang Lin was frank and said, "No matter what Fellow Daoist Bai thinks, please speak up. If you feel that Jiang Lin has betrayed Fellow Daoist's sincerity... please speak up as well."

After saying that, the hall fell silent. Only the emperor's compassionate eyes were still staring at the two of them.

Bai Suzhen remained silent.

Jiang Lin did not urge her, but just looked at her. He had a clear conscience and would accept the result calmly no matter what it was.

The old man may be right. Feelings themselves are holy and sacred. The other things mixed in are just to adjust and enhance the feelings.

But Jiang Lin still didn't want to hide anything about this relationship.

Bai Suzhen remained silent for a long time. After a while, she stared at Jiang Lin and asked, "Daoyou, what you mean is that without me... and the others, you wouldn't be able to ascend to the great supernatural power?"

"That's not the case. There's always something else..."

Jiang Lin shook his head subconsciously, but was interrupted by Bai Suzhen before he could finish his words.

"I agree."

Bai Suzhen raised her head, looked at him, and repeated word by word: "I agree."

After saying that, without any delay, he pulled Jiang Lin and stood in front of the statue of Emperor Ziwei.

"The Emperor bears witness that Bai Suzhen wishes to marry Jiang Xuanying as a Taoist couple, and this will continue throughout their reincarnations for eternity."

Her words were brief but decisive, not even giving Jiang Lin any time to react.

Jiang Lin looked at her blankly. He had never thought that Brother Bai would be so straightforward.

Bai Suzhen looked back, tilted her head and smiled: "The Emperor has witnessed it, it's too late for you to regret it."

"How could I regret it?"

Jiang Lin smiled helplessly and said, "It's just that I feel that I have wronged you. After all..."

"There's nothing to be wronged about."

Bai Suzhen shook her head, interrupted Jiang Lin again, and said with a smile: "At least, the first person you thought of was me, that's enough."

Jiang Lin opened his mouth to say something, but a white and tender finger pressed the corner of his lips.

The woman in white clothes as white as snow smiled gently and said, "I know you came here in the order of acquaintance. Your thoughts are always written on your face."

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen plucked up her courage and thrust herself into the arms of the man in front of her, putting her ear against his chest, listening to his clear heartbeat.

"Don't put pressure on yourself, and don't feel sorry for me or others. As you said, there should be no deception in relationships, but there should also be no right or wrong or fairness."

Bai Suzhen smiled and said softly, "Who made me like you?"

Jiang Lin didn't say anything, but just hugged her with his backhand.

The two hugged each other tightly in front of the statue of Emperor Ziwei.

"How should I help you?"

Bai Suzhen asked softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Lin pursed his lips a little embarrassedly.

The Great Venerable gave a hint on how to retrieve the things that were left in the reincarnation node, but when it came to asking Jiang Linming to really say it, he was still a little hesitant for a moment.

Bai Suzhen smiled sweetly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the corner of Jiang Lin's lips like a swallow pecking at water.

Facing her lover's dazed look, Bai Suzhen's cheeks flushed and she smiled, "Have you forgotten what I said before, that your thoughts are written on your face in front of people close to you."

After saying that, she licked the corners of her lips like a snake. The charm at that moment made Jiang Lin palpitate.

Only then did he remember that the woman in front of him was a white snake that had practiced cultivation and was naturally charming.

However, the charm and seductiveness unique to snakes were revealed to the public for the first time.

"It seems I guessed it right."

Bai Suzhen took Jiang Lin's hand, walked around the hall and headed towards the backyard.

The white mist enveloped the entire Ziwei Temple, blocking Xiaoqing, who had just returned from having fun, outside.

She called out to her sister loudly, but there was no response.

Anxious Xiaoqing rushed in regardless of anything.

But immediately, a familiar yet unfamiliar energy stopped her.

Xiao Qing became more and more furious, and stood at the entrance of Ziwei Temple, jumping up and down and shouting, "The stinky Taoist priest is here to steal my sister again!"

But apparently, the anger of a certain green snake did not affect the couple who were whispering in each other's ears in the backyard.

It was already evening, and the sun seemed to be setting faster than usual, as if someone was impatiently urging the night to come.

Finally, the Golden Crow disappeared and the Jade Rabbit flew into the sky.

The moonlight fell on Ziwei Temple, but was also obscured by the clouds.

I don’t know if it was an illusion or something, but the pure white clouds suddenly trembled a little, and under the moonlight, a charming crimson rose.

…………

At this moment, in the sky beyond the sea of ​​stars, in the Doumu Palace which is far away from the Purple Palace.

Dou Mu Yuanjun and Lishan Niangniang stood side by side, looking at an old Taoist priest in front of them.

"Da Ting Qing Jia."

Lady Lishan smiled and asked, "Is this what you said? You have long been interested in my Suzhen. Is this what you said? Suzhen is the only good match for Lin'er?"

The old Taoist shuddered when he heard the gentle voice and looked at Dou Mu Yuanjun for help.

At the same time, I cursed myself in my heart, you bastard boy, why did you express your affection in front of that bastard statue of Ziwei?

Return the Emperor to witness?
Do you want to come and witness the beating your master is about to get?

"Daoyou, don't be angry."

Dou Mu Yuanjun smiled and comforted: "No matter what, lovers finally get married. Although there are some twists and turns, in the end..."

As she spoke, she found herself unable to continue and glared at the old Taoist fiercely.

This bastard made a promise loudly at the beginning, but now he treats it as nothing. Even if she wants to cover up and beg for mercy, it really doesn't make sense.

Seeing this, the old Taoist decided to just give up.

With his hands on his waist and his head tilted back, he raised his mouth and shouted, "Anyway! That's how it is! The matter has been settled, can you still beat my disciple to death?!"

Looking at the reckless and bad-tempered appearance, Lady Lishan still smiled and said, "I won't be angry with the child. The man has feelings and the woman has intentions. There is nothing to say. Whether it is a loss or a blessing, it is the path that Suzhen chose herself after all."

"But I still have to question a certain shameless master. Qingjia, what do you think?"

Facing the look of the Lady of Mount Li, who seemed kind but actually had a cold light in her eyes, and Dou Mu Yuanjun who was rubbing her brows helplessly beside her, the old Taoist became furious and roared like a lion.

The whole person soared into the air, and the seemingly old body drew a gorgeous arc in the air. The whole person turned over and turned around like a big spinning top.

Then, under the slightly speechless gaze of the Goddess of Mount Li and Dou Mu Yuanjun, the old Taoist turned 72,000 degrees in the air, and knelt on the ground with a flutter, a flattering smile on his face.

"Mom! Be gentle..."
