Chapter 184 - 91 [I Am Not Fa Hai] (7200)_3
Chen Yan said something serious—previously, Mrs. He didn’t want her demonic qi to harm her adopted son, Boss He, so she used a magical artifact, a jade token, for qi extinguishing. Boss He carried it on him for decades.
This way, Boss He wouldn’t be harmed by Mrs. He’s demonic qi.
But the situation with these two demonesses is different.
They’ve already absorbed yang essence! No qi extinguishing jade token or magical artifact will work!
Demons have demonic qi; if they stay in contact with humans for too long, their demonic qi will definitely harm the human’s body and fate!
"We... we know that." The Rabbit Spirit lifted her head; tears rolled down from her red rabbit eyes. She said slowly, "Please, have mercy on us! In your human race, there’s an old saying, ’A night as a couple, a day of grace.’
We have been with Chuyi for so long. Even though we are demons, we have feelings. How could we really harm him?
I was just thinking, in a few days, after borrowing his yang fire to complete the inner core cultivation and withstand the celestial tribulation, I would leave with my master. From then on... from then on, we would never see him again!
As for him, he would just think it was all a dream that he had every few days. After we leave, it wouldn’t affect his life much.
Moreover... although my master and I are demons, we understand gratitude. By borrowing Chuyi’s yang fire for cultivation, if we succeed, we owe him a debt of gratitude. My master has long prepared a generous gift, hidden in the temple’s statue.
Before we leave, we will give Chuyi a dream, telling him to dig out the base of the statue. He will naturally find the gift we left for him."
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly frowned and asked, "How many more times do you need to sleep with him... hmm... to absorb enough yang fire?"
"Huh?" The Rabbit Spirit was startled.
Chen Yan sighed, "How many times? Just say it."
"Five... no, three, three more times, and it should be enough." The Rabbit Spirit said nervously.
"What about your master?" Chen Yan glanced at the Yellow Immortal Spirit.
The Yellow Immortal Spirit shook her head, "I was trying to break through the realm, but I can stop now."
Realm breakthrough?
Then you better stop now!
Chen Yan thought, this Yellow Immortal Spirit’s cultivation is much stronger than the Rabbit Spirit’s, and she’s in the Guiyuan Realm now.
If someone in the Guiyuan Realm wishes to break through, who knows how many years it will take! Even if Wang Chuyi’s yang fire could withstand her absorption, his body wouldn’t hold out against the demonic qi for years.
Thinking it over again, Chen Yan sighed deeply.
Forget it, forget it...
He wasn’t a fanatic guardian of morality—he watched "The New Legend of the White Snake" as a child, too.
Who doesn’t dislike Fa Hai after watching "The New Legend of the White Snake"?
"I definitely don’t want to play the role of Fa Hai..." Chen Yan murmured softly.
Now, these two demons clearly have feelings for Chuyi and haven’t harmed anyone.
The Rabbit Spirit even said, "A night as a couple, a day of grace."
Should I really play the role of splitting up a loving couple?
Why bother...
"You two head back to the mountains today." Chen Yan glanced at the Rabbit Spirit, "You’ve been injured by my mana; you need to heal for a couple of days."
After pausing for a moment, he said, "I will ask Chuyi when I get back. If he has no feelings for you two, you should leave. But if he... has feelings for you too...
Three days later, I will have him paste a new New Year’s picture on the back door of the deserted temple. If you see the picture...
Then... just keep doing what you were doing!
After all, it’s only three more times.
I will stay in the village for a few more days; you better not harm anyone! Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting rid of you demons!"
Upon hearing this, the two demons were overjoyed, especially the Rabbit Spirit, who thanked Chen Yan profusely and kowtowed repeatedly.
Chen Yan sighed, waved his hand, and headed down the mountain.

Chen Yan returned to the deserted temple, knocked on the old monk’s door, and recounted the night’s events. The old monk listened with a strange expression on his face.
After thinking for a long time, the old monk lowered his head and smiled wryly, "I... I didn’t know the situation was like this. I only saw demons and was worried that Chuyi might be harmed by them..."
As he spoke, his expression grew more peculiar, and he smiled bitterly, "According to what you said, if Chuyi is willing, should we just leave it be? Let those two demonesses come back to find him?"
"It’s only three more times; it’s already been so many times. Chuyi’s body can handle it." Chen Yan scratched his head and shook his head, "If you’re unwilling, then that’s up to you. But I don’t want to kill these two demons."
He looked at the old monk, "I don’t want to be Fa Hai, do you want to be Fa Hai?"
The old monk’s face contorted, thinking... those two demons could beat me up effortlessly. If you don’t intervene, how could I handle them?
"But... after all, this is a temple. If they... do that in my temple..."
Chen Yan grinned, "Oh, come on! We’re all locals. Who doesn’t know who around here? Are you a real monk? How about you recite the Diamond Sutra for me? Can you even recite it?
You’re not really a monk; you just came here to avoid the world after experiencing great hardship and personal trauma in your youth. You don’t truly believe in Buddha!"
The old monk’s face froze at these words—though it was the truth, hearing it outright felt odd. After posing as a monk for so many years, it was hard to accept that two demons would come to his temple every few days to do that with his apprentice...
