The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 425 Give in to others

After thinking for a long time, Li Jingxiao sighed, realizing that he hadn't seen his wives and concubines, including Qin Keqing, for more than a decade.

Fortunately, after arriving in the world of Journey to the West, time in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber had stopped.

Otherwise, by the time I return to the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, my children will all be grown up and have established their own families, and I might even have grandchildren.

Shaking his head and sighing, Li Jingxiao transformed into the appearance of a scholar.

Just as they were about to land in the town to see Bai Suzhen, they saw a line of more than a dozen patients waiting at the door.

After thinking about it, I decided to wait.

Appearing in the town without anyone noticing, Li Jingxiao, holding a folding fan, entered a teahouse not far from the clinic.

The waiter noticed that he was dressed in a brocade robe, with a white jade pendant hanging from his gold-inlaid jade belt.

It's obvious at a glance that he's not only rich, but also most likely a son of a powerful and wealthy family.

Without a second thought, he led Li Jingxiao to a private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

Li Jingxiao casually tossed a piece of silver to the waiter, and soon various snacks and tea were served.

After drinking the tea, I felt quite good and focused my attention on the storyteller in the teahouse.

As I listened, my mood gradually relaxed.

He thought to himself that although he was very carefree in this world.

But in order to level up and cultivate, it seems that it is indeed rare to be able to relax like this.

Before I knew it, the whole afternoon had passed.

Bai Suzhen saw off the last patient, closed the door of the clinic, and was about to return to her mountain cave to rest and cultivate.

Suddenly, I felt a gaze coming from the teahouse not far away.

Startled, I looked up.

Then Li Jingxiao smiled gently and greeted him from the window of the teahouse.

Bai Suzhen's face flushed slightly, and her heart raced.

Back in Putuo Mountain, this woman had already seen through Li Jingxiao's intentions.

But being a girl, even with a long period of cultivation, she was still somewhat at a loss.

Of course, there's definitely some goodwill towards them.

These days, whenever I think of Li Jingxiao's identity and strength, and how handsome and refined he is, I think of him.

I felt both shy and a little proud.

This is Laozi's personal disciple and a guest of honor of the Bodhisattva.

Moreover, according to his master, Li Jingxiao went to Mount Putuo, the Bodhisattva's sacred mountain, as casually as if he were visiting a relative's home.

Even if someone drinks in Putuo Mountain and gets into a fight with the Bodhisattva's disciples and protectors, destroying a lot of the Purple Bamboo Forest, the Bodhisattva doesn't care.

It would be strange if Bai Suzhen, who had only recently taken human form, wasn't pleased that such a powerful immortal was so devoted to her.

As for the claim that one wants to become an immortal, it's because one must repay the life-saving grace of a benefactor from a thousand years ago.

At this time, Bai Suzhen had no such intention at all. She had been cultivating for over 1700 years, but still could not become an immortal.

That's why she was so desperate and tried anything, and in order to become an immortal, she actually married Xu Xian.

Now that I've met Li Jingxiao, becoming an immortal is far too easy.

Bai Suzhen just thought about how ruthless Li Jingxiao was to demons during his journey to the West.

There was also some worry, even fear.

Moreover, I learned from several of my fellow disciples who were also under the tutelage of the Old Mother of Lishan that Li Jingxiao had quite a few women.

Bai Suzhen was also very hesitant.

But then I thought about it again. Although Li Jingxiao had many women, he also had several wives who were from the demon race.

This shows that he did not discriminate against the demon race.

Otherwise, Bai Suzhen might have just gone into hiding, just as Li Jingxiao feared.

The saying goes that humans and demons are on different paths; there is indeed a huge gap between immortals and demons. In particular, powerful immortals like Li Jingxiao, who hold high positions and great strength, often discriminate against demons.

Even immortals and gods who are of demon race origin are more prejudiced against demons who have not become immortals.

They don't even consider their own kind as their own kind.

Li Jingxiao didn't care what this woman was thinking. Bai Suzhen was the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother in his childhood.

In particular, this girl looks five or six parts similar to the White Snake from the old TV series, but she is even more beautiful and more pure and charming.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so attracted to a woman, especially a snake demon who had just transformed into human form.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Bai Suzhen.

I took out a few medical books that I had obtained in the game from my inventory.

Moreover, although these medical books are not particularly advanced, they are a compilation of medical skills learned by some of the most famous and skilled doctors in the martial arts world.

It's useless for healing gods and Buddhas, but it's absolutely divine when used on ordinary people.

Back when Li Jingxiao was still immersed in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, he had already studied several of the books.

Over the years, at least dozens of duplicate medical books have been found in lower-level maps.

If it weren't for seeing Bai Suzhen cure ordinary people's illnesses, Li Jingxiao would have forgotten about these books long ago.

He handed several medical books to Bai Suzhen and said with a smile, "These are the medical books and practical experience I have collected over the years. Since Miss Bai is so devoted to the art of medicine, they should be of use to you."

Bai Suzhen was taken aback, not expecting that the first thing this guy said upon meeting her would be this.

But after the initial surprise, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

He hurriedly reached out to take it and curtsied to Li Jingxiao to express his gratitude.

Li Jingxiao saw that Bai Suzhen's smile was sincere and her eyes held a hint of tenderness.

I know I made the right choice.

As for whether this woman was a saint, Li Jingxiao didn't care at all.

He has no shortage of money, nor does he lack Taoist magic or supernatural powers.

Moreover, since it was used to treat illnesses and save lives, and those saved were all human beings, Li Jingxiao not only did not object, but would even encourage Bai Suzhen to treat people.

Even if you want to distribute porridge, you have plenty of silver, beef, mutton, and grain in your inventory.

Instead of keeping it in your inventory and turning it into a bunch of numbers, it's better to take it out and indirectly benefit ordinary people.

Incidentally, he also made Bai Suzhen completely devoted to him.

Moreover, I have already mastered the knowledge in these medical books.

This laid the foundation for future contact and conversations with Bai Suzhen.

All it takes is a few more encounters, or an excuse to teach her medical books, to understand the mindset of women in this era.

Once you gain Bai Suzhen's favor, it's easy to make her fall for a certain man.

They might even become so devoted to someone they like that once they fall in love with them.

After thanking him, Bai Suzhen looked up at Li Jingxiao's expression and immediately blushed at his somewhat intense gaze.

With her heart racing and her mind a little fuzzy, she lowered her head and whispered, "If you have nothing else to say, I would like to invite you to a meal to express my gratitude."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Bai Suzhen came to her senses and looked up at the sky.

As evening approached, her face immediately turned red, and her neck and ears also turned red.

Li Jingxiao was no gentleman; without a second thought, he smiled and said, "Since you have invited me, I will naturally accept."

I just wonder how good the young lady's cooking is?

Upon hearing Li Jingxiao doubt her cooking skills, Bai Suzhen instinctively said, "Don't worry, Master, you'll know once you've tasted it."

Lee Kyung-hyo smiled and said he was really looking forward to it.

Bai Suzhen wanted to decline, saying she would invite everyone in a few days, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

The two flew straight to Mount Qingcheng, one after the other.
