The lake water was like a mirror, reflecting the moonlight.
There were ancient wooden carvings, and in the pavilion, an incense burner was rising, and the sound of a zither was lingering.
Under the slender fingers of a beautiful woman dressed in spotless white clothes, a black pine lacquer zither emitted a sound that seemed to make the moonlight in the sky hazy.
A gust of wind blew past, ruffling her waist-length black hair and covering half of her face. However, it made the remaining half of her face even more enchanting under the moonlight.
At this moment, this person could only quote the description of the purple-clothed female manager of the Three Thousand Restaurant from before.
Her temperament was close to that of an immortal!
However, the former was an immortal who had descended into the human world, while the latter should be called a "ghost immortal".
This was because there was clearly helplessness and resentment hidden in this pure white immortal aura!
"Young Master, you've been standing there and listening for a long time. Aren't you going to come into the pavilion?"
The white-clothed woman opened her cherry mouth slightly. Her voice was even more pleasant than the sound of the zither, but there was a hint of complaint in her tone.
How could Nie Xiaoqian not complain?
In the past, ordinary men who were attracted by her zither music would almost pounce on her when they saw her face.
However, this green-clothed man whom Granny had asked her to seduce stood by the lake and did not take a step forward. He maintained this posture and listened to her play for nearly two hours.
One had to know that playing the zither was also very harmful to the fingers. Even though she was a soul and would not leave any scars, playing the zither as a soul consumed more energy than a living person.
"Uh, sorry!"
Ji Ye's expression froze, as if he had snapped out of a certain state.
Nie Xiaoqian was the daughter of an official, so her zither skills were definitely very outstanding.
Especially in this Land of Inheritance, the abilities of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting had a certain degree of uniqueness.
Nie Xiaoqian's zither music just now was enough to make an ordinary person immersed in it unconsciously.
However, knowing that this was Lanruo Temple, Ji Ye could not help but be a little insensitive. Although he had deliberately followed the zither music here, he had secretly used the power of his divine senses to prevent himself from being affected by the zither music.
To put it simply, Nie Xiaoqian had been "playing the zither to a chicken" for nearly two hours …
However, for Ji Ye, it was a great harvest.
This was because he realized that the process of resisting the zither music was actually able to train his spiritual force, allowing his divine sense, which had already reached the peak of the third level, to show signs of breaking through to the fourth level!
"Ah, my scarf!"
Seeing Ji Ye like this, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't take it anymore.
She suddenly let go of the scarf, and the wind blew it to Ji Ye's side.
This time, Ji Ye was no longer insensitive. He reached out and grabbed the white handkerchief that had a faint floral scent.
"Thank you, young master …"
In the blink of an eye, a pair of jade-like hands and a waterfall of black hair were already on Ji Ye's shoulder.
When he turned around, the woman had already arrived in front of him. She was smiling brightly, and her features were as beautiful as a painting.
It was as if the moon in the sky had suddenly lost its color.
"Hu!"
Ji Ye didn't really understand it before.
In theory, anyone with a normal brain would think that there was something wrong with the sudden appearance of a woman in this abandoned temple. However, there were still so many people in this world who were fooled.
Now, he more or less understood.
This was because the woman in front of him, with a frown and a smile, was really beautiful. Any normal man would find it hard to resist.
"It's too cold here. Come back to the house with me!"
Ji Ye reached out and hugged Nie Xiaoqian. She felt a little cold in his hand.
Alright, as a soul, Nie Xiaoqian was actually colder than the surrounding temperature.
But it wasn't completely cold.
He could even feel that she was heavy. She didn't feel the emptiness of ghosts at all.
In theory, if a warrior's Qi and blood were strong, ordinary ghosts wouldn't dare to approach them. The ghosts in this world were obviously special.
Ji Ye remembered that in the original Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Nie Xiaoqian gradually became no different from ordinary people because she often came into contact with living people. In the end, she even gave birth to a boy.
It was inevitable that this world also took this as a reference.
"Sigh, I thought that you had some willpower and would be a promising talent!"
"But I didn't expect that you still couldn't overcome the obstacle of women."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered. Whether you live or die, it's up to your own luck!"
Yan Chixia, who was holding a brass sword in his hand, appeared in a distant corner. After seeing this scene, he shook his head in disappointment.
"Forget it, I'll hunt some game for food under the moonlight."
"Hmm, why do I feel that something's wrong tonight? There are so many wolves, and they're not small. I'll hunt one and bring it back. It should be enough to eat for a few days! "
Then, Yan Chixia looked at the pitch-black forest, especially the big bad wolves with glowing green eyes surrounding the Lanruo Temple. It was obvious that they were up to no good. Yan Chixia said viciously on his bearded face.
…
"Monk, why are you so heartless!"
In Lanruo Temple.
At this moment, a similar scene was happening by the lake.
He saw a beautiful woman in green standing at the entrance of a side room. She was fluttering her thin clothes with a sad expression on her face as a light breeze that came out of nowhere blew on her thin clothes.
"Get lost, I don't like women!"
Having been revealed by Ji Ye in advance and knowing the inside story of this woman, Lu Zhishen naturally didn't have any lustful thoughts in his heart.
However, his character was really not good at putting on a show, so he simply shouted away this female ghost who came to his door.
"Hmph!"
The female ghost named "Little Qing" was so angry that her face turned green. It was already very embarrassing to be sent by Granny to seduce a monk, but this monk was so rude.
Instead, it was the other one …
Little Qing turned her head and looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who was carried into the room by Ji Ye and immediately closed the door and windows.
Jealousy made her face turn into a ghost that was surrounded by black gas.
However, she had no choice but to go back and report to Granny Tree Demon that she had failed the mission.
…
However, he successfully carried the "female ghost" that countless male players on Earth had probably dreamed of into the house and closed all the doors and windows.
Next, Ji Ye threw Nie Xiaoqian onto the couch.
"Young Master, you're hurting me!"
"Miss Xiaoqian, I'll tell you the truth. I'm afraid you're not human!"
Ji Ye looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who was lying on the couch. Her clothes were as white as snow, and her hair covered her face. She looked extremely sad.
It couldn't be helped. As a hot-blooded man who practiced martial arts, it was difficult for him to control himself at this moment. He could only put on a stern expression.
Fortunately, as someone who could easily survive in the wilderness for dozens of days, his willpower was definitely very good.
"Who … Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Nie Xiaoqian, who was lying on the couch, immediately changed her expression. She looked at Ji Ye in surprise.
"Many of the withered corpses on the roof must've been because of you, right?"
Ji Ye did not answer. Instead, he continued to stare at her with a stern expression.
"I …"
Nie Xiaoqian's expression immediately turned gloomy.
Her pale, jade-like fingers grabbed the corner of the couch. She felt the fear and guilt of having done something wrong and being seen through.
"Miss Xiaoqian, I know that you actually had no choice. It's because the golden pagoda containing your ashes is in the hands of the thousand-year tree demon. You were forced to harm people by her, but you're actually kind.
"I came to Lanruo Temple to get rid of this tree demon and prevent her from continuing to harm people. So, I hope you can tell me about her. "
At this moment, Ji Ye's expression finally changed, and his tone softened.
To be honest, if he wasn't in the Battlefield of Providence but the real world of A Chinese Ghost Story, facing such a Xiaoqian, he might have done what most men on Earth imagined. He would slowly nurture his relationship with her before Ning Caichen did, using his charisma instead of his strength to win her heart.
