Chapter 509 The Great Demon God 5
"But Black Rose is stingy, greedy, and a busybody. She..."
Black Rose had a whole host of flaws, but before Xiao Hai could finish, Mao Xiaofang interrupted him.
It's bad to talk about people behind their backs!
"Young man, don't be so harsh!" Mao Xiaofang lectured Xiao Hai. "She grew up without parents and has to take care of herself, so she keeps lying to people!"
"As for meddling in other people's business, everyone has curiosity!"
"You can tell she's a really good person by how well she takes care of the little shrimp!"
When Xiao Hai heard Mao Xiaofang speak up for Black Rose, his heart sank. "Master, you wouldn't actually have feelings for Black Rose, would you?"
"Hehe, Master knows nothing about romantic relationships!" Mao Xiaofang shook his head, indicating that he didn't mean it that way.
……
Black Rose waited for a long time, and as darkness fell, Mao Xiaofang still hadn't returned.
She clutched her stomach and complained, "It's so late, aren't you hungry?"
Xiao Hai chimed in, "Are you hungry? Then you should go back and eat!"
Black Rose stared at Xiao Hai in surprise, "Wow, how could you do this? Did your master teach you to treat guests like this?"
"You should at least ask me if I'm staying for dinner today, right?"
Ah Chu stared at Black Rose for a long time, but she grew impatient.
"Sister Gui, would you like to stay for a casual dinner tonight?"
“Okay!” Black Rose readily agreed.
"Next time!" Achu smiled smugly.
"why?"
“We’re fasting today!” Xiao Hai interjected.
"Bigu? What does that mean?" Black Rose didn't understand. What did Bigu have to do with staying for a meal?
"Bigu means not eating for a day, so I'm sorry!" Xiao Hai explained.
Black Rose stood up, displeased, and said, "What kind of rule is this? Does not eating make you more powerful?"
“Yes!” A-Chu nodded.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll be going!" Black Rose said helplessly. She wasn't a cultivator; she would get hungry if she didn't eat. She would rather go home and cook something to fill her stomach!
After Black Rose left, A Chu and Xiao Hai slumped into their chairs, clutching their rumbling stomachs and sighing, "Finally gone! It was such a relief!"
Ren Yinyin came out and saw that Black Rose had left. It was already late, and usually they would have already eaten dinner by this time.
"There are still some hand-pulled noodles in the kitchen. We can cook them faster!" Ah Xiu suggested, following behind Ren Yinyin.
Ah Chu felt even worse upon hearing this. All that effort and saliva wasted! She had finally managed to fool Black Rose away, and all she could get was noodles?
"I don't want to eat noodles!" Achu rubbed her rumbling stomach and looked pitifully at her senior and junior sisters.
"How about," Ren Yinyin thought for a moment, "we wait another hour and go buy some late-night snacks?"
Ah Chu rolled her eyes and collapsed, "Senior sister, how cruel you are!"
Ah Xiu covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh...
"Filling our stomachs is the most important thing, I'll go cook noodles!" Xiao Hai jumped up. If they kept talking, it would really be midnight snack time.
"I'll help you, senior brother!" Ah Xiu chased after Xiao Hai to the kitchen.
……
Because Black Rose would go to Fuxi Hall to ambush Mao Xiaofang every morning, her apprentices and nephews complained bitterly and came up with all sorts of tricks to make Black Rose return empty-handed!
However, this can't go on forever. Black Rose's gaze towards them is already very unfriendly!
"Master, if you don't have feelings for Sister Gui, you should go and make things clear to her!" Xiao Hai said to Mao Xiaofang with a bitter face.
"Dealing with her every day is really interfering with our cultivation!"
Mao Xiaofang nodded; he could see it too—Black Rose wanted that…
But he didn't want that; he only wanted to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and focus on cultivation!
"Alright, I'll go take care of her!" Mao Xiaofang walked out of Fuxi Hall with his hands behind his back.
But when Mao Xiaofang saw Black Rose, he hesitated a bit!
He didn't know how to bring it up, or how to refuse without hurting Black Rose.
Before he could decide, Black Rose saw him first, "Little Mustache?"
Mao Xiaofang was startled and instinctively hid.
Black Rose caught up with him but didn't see Mao Xiaofang. She couldn't help but laugh, "Why is he so shy?"
Shy Mao Xiaofang returned to Fuxi Hall without saying a word.
None of the apprentices or nephews asked, assuming the matter had been resolved!
……
The next day, Mao Xiaofang was teaching Axiu and Xiaohai how to draw talismans.
Ah Chu made an excuse to go out, but actually went to fawn over Ah Ning.
Mao Xiaofang knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't expose him!
Achu's aptitude for cultivation is lacking, and he is not diligent enough. He is also restless and impatient, making it difficult for him to achieve great things!
You can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to!
Mao Xiaofang could only let him go...
As for Ren Yinyin, she has a very solid foundation. She is currently reading Taoist books and studying them on her own. If there is anything she doesn't understand, Mao Xiaofang will explain it to her.
Four young people, three teaching methods—Mao Xiaofang considers himself an enlightened teacher who teaches according to aptitude!
"Little Mustache?" As this distinctive voice rang out, Black Rose strode in.
"Ha, I've finally met you!"
Mao Xiaofang paused for a moment as he drew the talisman, and the talisman instantly became a piece of waste paper.
However, he didn't throw it away. Instead, he pointed to the talisman and said, "If you fail to draw a talisman, the ghosts and gods will laugh. If you draw a talisman successfully, the ghosts and gods will cry out in surprise!"
"Therefore, when we draw talismans, we must be as calm as still water in order to draw them in one stroke!"
"If disturbed by the outside world, it will become a piece of waste paper!"
"Do you two understand?"
Xiao Hai and Ah Xiu nodded, "Understood, Master!"
Ah Xiu formally became Mao Xiaofang's disciple, becoming his third apprentice.
Mao Xiaofang valued A Xiu the most, believing that she had the best talent and aptitude among his three apprentices.
Moreover, Ah Xiu works very hard, and Mao Xiaofang is very satisfied with her!
"Hey, Little Mustache, I'm talking to you! Why aren't you talking to me?" Black Rose stood in front of Mao Xiaofang and asked with dissatisfaction.
"Rose, Master is busy!" Xiao Hai pointed out this obvious fact that anyone with eyes could see.
"What are you drawing?" Black Rose leaned closer to take a look. It was a mess, like scribbles, and she couldn't understand it!
“Master is teaching us how to draw talismans!” Ah Xiu replied.
"Your master hasn't said anything, how can you disciples interrupt?" Black Rose scolded Xiao Hai and Ah Xiu.
"Hey, little mustache, let me tell you, that's not how you teach an apprentice!"
"Be strict; if they don't listen, you'll be punished!"
"Why bother hitting them if there's nothing wrong?" Mao Xiaofang said dismissively, his hands moving non-stop as he drew a talisman. A flash of light appeared, and the talisman was complete!
Black Rose stood with her hands on her hips, "We have to fight! We absolutely have to fight!"
"That's how shrimp are made, otherwise how can they become spiritual children?"
"A gifted child is born that way, not something that can be created through violence!" Xiao Hai said bluntly.
Black Rose, feeling humiliated, smacked Xiao Hai on the head and scolded, "Hmph, what are you doing interrupting when adults are talking?"
Xiao Hai turned his head, somewhat annoyed, "Don't you dare hit me, or I'll get angry!"
She hasn't even married their master yet, but she's already putting on airs like a master's wife!
Ren Yinyin sat on a chair to the side, watching the play with great interest.
"Rose, I really have a lot to do today, why don't you come another day?" Mao Xiaofang was getting restless from the noise and told her to leave.
Ah Xiu quickly replied, "My master has been very busy lately and hasn't had time to entertain guests!"
Hmph, you dare to let Master hit us? You're stealing the spotlight!
