Chapter 82: Borrowed Power

A cultivator must first cultivate their mind.

After entering the path of cultivation, their first lesson is the training of the mind.

Nian Nian and Shen Weixun's minds were as firm as could be.

One could say they were as steady as a rock, and no one could shake them.

Shen Weixun had anticipated all sorts of situations and possibilities.

Judging from the situation revealed in Luo Wuyou's few words, the spell cast on him should be of the love - charming type.

But Shen Weixun thought this young man had always been a womanizer, having seen and dated all kinds of women.

He shouldn't have been so easily confused in mind.

However, things completely exceeded his expectations. They had just met, and neither he nor Nian Nian had even made a move; not a single exchange of blows, yet Luo Wuyou had surrendered first.

Shen Weixun gritted his teeth in anger.

If it weren't for the thought that they had come alone and Luo Wuyou would be out of their sight, and they might not be able to save him in time if someone attacked him secretly from afar.

They wouldn't have brought this person along.

Now, this trouble had instantly defected to the enemy. Although it wasn't voluntary, he and Nian Nian had truly been trapped because of it.

He should have known better than to bring this good - for - nothing!

Nian Nian was a bit indignant. She took out her peach - wood sword from her satchel and started stabbing at the door.

Once, it didn't budge.

Twice, still no movement.

The little girl's arms were swinging like an electric motor, but no matter how hard she hacked, it was as if she was hitting cotton.

"What on earth are you?"

Shen Weixun grabbed Nian Nian, who was still making useless efforts, and looked at the woman warily.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

With that face, the woman made an innocent expression and even pretended to be extremely scared. She directly threw herself into Luo Wuyou's arms.

Luo Wuyou patted the woman's shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't be so serious. I think I was wrong before. This is the girl I've been dreaming of, the true love I've been pursuing all my life, my ideal muse."

Shen Weixun:......

Nian Nian:......

The little girl was still too young to understand the meaning of the word "sickeningly sweet".

She just felt that the scene in front of her was extremely strange. It gave her goosebumps all over and even made her a bit nauseous.

Among those present, only Cheng Huang remained calm.

After all, it wasn't human and couldn't understand the current situation at all.

"Aren't you supposed to be good at exorcising evil? Come and open this door!"

Shen Weixun saw Cheng Huang lying motionless and sprawled out on the soft and comfortable big bed.

Suddenly, he found this little thing extremely annoying.

What kind of situation was this? What kind of atmosphere was this?

This little thing could still sit still?!

"Huh? Exorcise what evil? There's no evil here."

Cheng Huang blinked its eyes and communicated with the two of them telepathically.

This time, even Nian Nian was stunned.

"How is that possible? If there's no evil, how come Senior Brother and I can't get out?"

"You're talking about this woman? No, no, no. She's not evil. Moreover, she has the same clean and nice smell as you. I think it's nice to stay by her side."

What did that mean?!

Shen Weixun gritted his teeth even more in anger.

One moment, Luo Wuyou had defected, and the next moment, the little strange beast they had brought along had also defected?

Really, none of them were reliable!

"I advise you to choose your words carefully. Do you not want to eat anymore? Or do you not want to go home with us? If you think this woman is better than us, then you can just go with her from now on."

"Don't, don't. I was just joking... Why are you taking it seriously? Actually, I think I still like you guys better!"

Under Shen Weixun's threat of being homeless, Cheng Huang immediately scrambled off the bed and walked over to Nian Nian, rubbing its furry body against her ankle.

It looked extremely obsequious.

"Huang Huang, you said this elder sister isn't evil. Then what is she?"

Nian Nian wasn't angry because of what Cheng Huang had said just now.

She picked up the white ball and asked seriously.

No matter how powerful Senior Brother and she were, they were still just ordinary people.

It was normal that they couldn't see through or understand some illusions.

This didn't mean they were weak.

It was just that they lacked experience and knowledge.

Strange beasts identified things by smell, not by sight.

So it should be able to easily tell what this strange elder sister in front of them was.

"She's human, an ordinary person..."

Cheng Huang looked at Nian Nian in a daze.

Its eyes seemed to be saying: How could you ask such a stupid question?

"Huh? Can an ordinary person trap Senior Brother and me?"

"Well... Of course she doesn't have that ability. But she borrowed the power of something else. This power and smell are as pure as yours. I remember you humans call this... Ah, yes, merit! I think you can talk to her nicely. Don't rush into action."

Cheng Huang gave what it thought was the most reasonable advice.

If it weren't for the nice smell on that strange woman, it wouldn't have taken the initiative to get close to her at the zoo and endured the annoyance to listen to her strange words.

"Borrowed power?"

Shen Weixun gave the woman a suspicious look.

But he didn't move his feet.

Instead, he picked up Nian Nian and held her in front of his chest before speaking to the woman.

"Why are you pestering Luo Wuyou?"

"What do you mean pestering? He's my boyfriend."

"But as far as I know, you two were in a long - distance online relationship and broke up two months ago."

"But now we're back together. Isn't it normal for couples to break up and get back together? What do you kids know? Forget it. Why am I talking to you so much? You kids don't understand adult things."

Shen Weixun and Nian Nian looked so young that it was misleading.

The woman subconsciously used the tone of an elder lecturing.

She looked as if she was really Luo Wuyou's girlfriend, scolding her naughty little cousin.

Shen Weixun: He wanted to take action!

"What method did you use and whose power did you borrow to bewitch Luo Wuyou?"

Shen Weixun was too lazy to waste words with her and asked bluntly.

Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment and then put away her previous contemptuous attitude.

Obviously, she knew that Luo Wuyou's current state was not his own will.

So this woman was definitely not innocent.

"I didn't do anything. I just prayed for a blessing. Maybe God was touched by my sincerity. So Wuyou came back to me."

"Huh?" Nian Nian tilted her head and looked at the woman with a strange look in her eyes. Her little mouth opened and closed, and the words she said were extremely hurtful.

"Um... This elder sister? No... Auntie? Ah, no, Grandma... Big brother didn't want to come back to you on his own initiative. Before, big brother even told us that you looked really hard to describe and wanted us to help him get rid of you."

"Grandma, where did you pray for the blessing? Can it change a person's mind so quickly? It must be some evil way."

"Master said that anything that can instantly change a person's mind is not a good thing."

"People who use such things are not good people either."
