Before this, Salted Fish, who had been freed by Fangzheng, came to the cliff on the mountaintop. With his fins on his back, he looked into the distance and chuckled. "I'm finally free. I can finally join in the fun. Hahaha … Here I come!"
With that said, Salted Fish leaped into the air and plunged downwards like a sharp sword. At the instant he landed, he blew out a gust of air, and with a whoosh, it held up his plummeting body as he somersaulted in midair and stood on the ground.
"Perfect landing!" Salted Fish grinned.
At that moment, a voice sounded from the side. "Are you a demon?"
Salted Fish's scales trembled when he heard that. There was actually someone behind him?! He had been seen! This … didn't seem to meet Fangzheng's requirements! Something bad was going to happen!
Salted Fish didn't turn his head as his eyes darted around. "You are overthinking things. I'm a child, a child in fish skin. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm leaving!"
With that said, Salted Fish ran off, but he heard an exclamation behind him. "Wow! Wow! A fish is running! He's running away! I took a picture! Grandpa, Grandpa, I saw a fish running! "
Upon hearing that, Salted Fish hurriedly came to a halt and turned his head. He saw a little girl dressed in a red flowery coat, looking like a round ball. She was waving a watch and phone as she ran in the direction of the village with great difficulty.
Salted Fish instantly recognized the little girl. She was a frequent visitor of One Finger Monastery, and she was also the little princess of One Finger Monastery — Mengmeng!
Upon seeing this lass, Salted Fish felt his head swell up!
If she were an ordinary person, he could easily bluff or scare her. However, he really couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on Mengmeng! Even if he could, he would probably be beaten into a dried fish by Fangzheng when he returned.
With this in mind, Salted Fish hurriedly chased after Mengmeng and shouted. "Lass, stop shouting. I'm a demon. Aren't you afraid of me?"
Mengmeng immediately stopped when she heard that. She turned back and sized up Salted Fish curiously.
Salted Fish stood in front of Mengmeng, acting like an elder. He dug out all the domineering, sage-like, and posturing he could think of. Then … he tragically realized that he wasn't as tall as Mengmeng! He had to look up at Mengmeng!
Mengmeng lowered her head slightly and looked at the invincible demon. Then, she came over curiously and extended her tiny hand to tug at Salted Fish's whiskers. She smiled happily. "Wow! It really was a monster! Haha … "
Salted Fish looked at the happy Mengmeng and looked up into the sky in a daze, thinking, "Do the demons in this world have no standing?" How could it not even scare a child? This was a disgrace to demons!
"Little fish demon, how old are you this year? How did you become a spirit? Where are your parents? Right, what do you like to eat? " Mengmeng showed no signs of fear as she tugged at Salted Fish's whiskers and asked as though she was pouring jelly beans.
Salted Fish felt his head swell as he yelled, "Shut up! Listen up, little girl, I'm a monster! Monster! Do you know what a monster is? It's the kind that can fly in the sky and burrow into the ground like the wind. It's a monster that devours humans without spitting out their bones! Aren't you afraid of me? "
Salted Fish's plan was very simple. No matter what, he couldn't let Mengmeng spread the news of him. Since he couldn't use his divine powers, he might as well scare her.
Salted Fish tried his best to show what he thought was his most ferocious look, but how ferocious could a fish head be? Thankfully, the other party was Mengmeng. After being threatened, she was indeed a little afraid.
When Salted Fish saw this, he finally found some of his pride as a demon. Hence, he said, "Lass, didn't you ask me what I eat? I eat … "
Before Salted Fish could finish his sentence, he saw a golden, transparent lollipop appear in front of him. Then, he heard Mengmeng ask adorably, "Do you eat lollipops?"
At that instant, Salted Fish was taken aback. Then, he felt extremely furious and aggrieved. "Lass, listen up! I'm a demon! A great demon! A man-eater! You actually asked me if I eat lollipops? I … "
Salted Fish glared at Mengmeng fiercely as though he wanted to eat her up.
However, when he looked up, his eyes were blocked by the lollipop. He heard Mengmeng's adorable voice. "Do you want to eat it?"
Salted Fish bared his teeth and said, "You are humiliating me!"
The next moment, on the snow, a salted fish and a girl in a red cotton jacket sat there. They were eating lollipops and looking up at the mountaintop.
"To be honest, this lollipop is quite delicious. It's no wonder children like it … "Salted Fish said in all seriousness.
Mengmeng said, "If you like it, I'll bring more for you in the future."
"It's settled then! But don't forget what I told you. This is a secret between us. Don't tell anyone else. Also, let's meet here in the future, "Salted Fish said.
"Alright, alright!" Mengmeng exclaimed. At that moment, Mengmeng suddenly pointed into the distance and said adorably, "There's a lot of smoke over there. Is someone barbecuing?"
Salted Fish looked over when his expression changed. He jumped up and exclaimed. "Holy sh * t! I'm doomed! I was so focused on eating and having fun that I forgot about the important matters! "
Salted Fish's perception had originally enveloped One Finger Village, but after Fangzheng freed him, he only focused on Xu Pu and the freckled man. He jumped off the cliff and was discovered by Mengmeng. He jumped in fright and subconsciously retracted his perception. After all the commotion, he had forgotten about it …
Now that he saw the billowing smoke, he knew that something had happened! Salted Fish hurriedly ran in that direction.
Meanwhile, Fangzheng was sitting in the backyard, activating his Wisdom Eye and Dharma Eye. He looked at Second Brother, Xizi, Lin Wenlong, and Wu Yue 'e.
All karma could not be hidden from his eyes. He finally confirmed all his guesses. At the same time, he was dumbfounded by the complicated situation!
Fangzheng shook his head and came under the bodhi tree. From afar, he looked at the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque in the temple hall and mumbled. "Good and evil …"
At that moment, Squirrel shouted. "Master, there's so much smoke!"
Fangzheng turned his head and saw thick smoke billowing up like a column of smoke. With such thick smoke, even a fool would know that something had happened! Fangzheng hurriedly shouted. "Jingxin, where's Salted Fish? What's he doing? "
Jingxin hurriedly activated his perception to search for Salted Fish. After hearing Salted Fish's words, Fangzheng really had the urge to stew Salted Fish. However, it was too late. He hurriedly got Red Boy to fly him down the mountain to put out the fire.
