Chapter 303 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 7
In Zhoujiazhuang late at night, everything is silent, with only the soft moonlight shining on this empty space.

After Yu Yao sent Jue Ming away, she cast a deep gaze on the man in front of her. A hint of subtle cunning flashed across her eyes, and she said softly, "Master, don't worry. I'll force the poison out for you."

After she finished speaking, her slender and soft hand gently fell on Xuan Ji's back. The action seemed to be poisonous, but in fact it was full of teasing and temptation.

Xuan Ji trembled violently, the poison in his body was about to explode. He tried hard to maintain the last bit of clarity, stood up suddenly, and retreated in panic.

He tried his best to distance himself from Yu Yao, fearing that their bodies would touch.

"Master Yu, this poison is very strong. Don't get close to it, or you will be implicated."

There was an uncontrollable tremor in his words, which was the fear of the raging poison in his body and the fear that he would not be able to keep the rules and regulations.

Yu Yao sighed softly, "Master, you are wrong. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, especially for a great monk like you. Although I am a demon, I know the difference between good and evil. How can I stand by and watch someone die without saving him?"

She slowly moved closer as she spoke, her scent seeming to grow stronger as she got closer.

Xuan Ji's heart tightened, and the poison in his body seemed to be stimulated by the fragrance, becoming even more rampant.

He had an indescribable affection for Yu Yao, but because of his own status and precepts, he never dared to go beyond the line, and he was even more afraid that it would ruin his years of practice.

At this moment, under the influence of the aphrodisiac, his will became even weaker, and he actually developed an irresistible desire for her in his heart.

I just felt that she was so charming and attractive, like a poppy flower blooming in the dark night.

He was filled with fear, afraid that he would lose control of himself and do something against the Dharma, so he weakly shouted, "Donor Yu, please leave quickly, leave quickly...

"Master, what are you talking about? How can I abandon you?"

Instead of leaving, Yu Yao moved closer and closer to him. Xuan Ji could feel her warmth and breath.

Her hair brushed gently across his cheek, bringing a tingling sensation.

Xuan Ji suddenly opened his eyes, and pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he was about to lose control, so he pushed her away and ran away desperately, as if trying to escape from this suffocating temptation.

He recited scriptures silently in his heart, trying to suppress the surging poison of lust with the power of Buddhism.

"Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin..."

His weak voice was instantly blown away by the gentle breeze.

Yu Yao was startled and saw Xuan Ji running away, so she had to follow him quickly.

At first she wondered where the man was going, but she didn't expect him to follow her all the way to the river.

This river runs through the entire Zhoujiazhuang, winding forward like a sleeping dragon, with no end in sight and no one knowing where it flows.

The moonlight poured down like water, and the surface of the river sparkled like a flowing silver ribbon.

A breeze blew by, creating layers of tiny waves, and water birds occasionally chirped in the reeds by the river.

Xuan Ji jumped into the river without hesitation.

With a "splash", water splashed everywhere, creating ripples.

His whole body was immersed in the freezing cold river water. The chill was like countless ice needles that instantly struck him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

At the same time, my mind became a little clearer.

Yu Yao stood on the shore, watching this scene, secretly rolled her eyes, and was extremely speechless.

I thought I could finally conquer this man tonight, but I didn't know that he had such strong self-control that he actually jumped into the river, trying to suppress the poison with cold water.

Although she was complaining in her heart, her face was full of anxiety, and she shouted worriedly: "Master, come up quickly, the river water is very cold, and it is even colder at night. You will catch a cold if you soak in it like this."

Xuan Ji turned a deaf ear to the words and kept reciting scriptures silently, trying to use the power of the cold river water and the scriptures to suppress the poison in his body.

However, the Scorpion Spirit's seductive poison was too strong, and although the river water made him more conscious, it was not enough to detoxify him. In fact, it couldn't even suppress it.

Yu Yao stood on the shore, looking at Xuan Ji struggling in the river, with complicated feelings in her heart. To be honest, she wanted to give up this mission at this moment.

Xuan Ji is a high-ranking Buddhist monk. In order to complete his mission, would it be too selfish for him to dethrone the other party?

"Master Xuan Ji..."

Yu Yao called softly, with a barely perceptible tenderness in her voice, "You are so obsessed with the rules and regulations, but do you know that everything in the world has feelings? The Scorpion Spirit's seductive poison is extremely overbearing. If you continue to insist, you will die."

Xuan Ji barely opened his eyes in the cold river water, and seeing Yu Yao's worried eyes, his heart trembled. He struggled to speak, but found that his voice was drowned by the river water.

"I know what you are thinking, and I also understand your difficulties and persistence as a senior monk."

Yu Yao continued, with a tone that showed both understanding and reluctance, "If you die, who will be the one to exorcise demons in the future? By then, there will be more demons wreaking havoc on the world, and the people will suffer terribly. Isn't that a greater sin?"

Xuan Ji listened to Yu Yao's words in the water, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that what she said made sense, but his years of practice and the precepts in his heart made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Yu Yao looked at Xuan Ji, who was struggling in pain, hesitated for a moment, then flashed and turned into a stream of light, leaping into the river and heading straight for Xuan Ji.

She hugged him desperately, using her body temperature to warm his cold body.

"Donor Yu, you..." Xuan Ji was shocked, but more moved and struggling.

He wanted to push her away, but he was powerless to resist the desire and dependence from the bottom of his heart.

"Xuan Ji, as long as you benefit the people more and do more good deeds, isn't it better than abiding by the rules and regulations every day but doing nothing?"

Yu Yao's voice sounded softly beside Xuan Ji's ears, with an unquestionable firmness, "Let me detoxify you. After tonight, I will accompany you to travel the world and benefit the people, okay?"

Xuan Ji looked at Yu Yao's firm and affectionate eyes, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Donor Yu, how can I be worthy of Buddhism and all living beings if I break the precepts like this?"

Yu Yao gently stroked his face and said softly: "Master, you are compassionate. You exorcise demons for the sake of all living beings. Now you detoxify and save lives in order to save more people. This is not breaking the precepts, but following the will of heaven."

Xuan Ji stared at her blankly, and the defenses in his heart finally loosened a little. He sighed and said, "Forget it, maybe this is really the arrangement of fate."

He slowly closed his eyes, a tear slid down his cheek and merged into the cold river water.

The night sky is dotted with stars, and the bright starlight shines through the thin clouds, illuminating their figures embracing each other in the water.

In the end, Xuan Ji gave up resisting and embraced Yu Yao in the cold river water.

The river water gently wrapped around them, and their bodies swayed gently with the flow, as if they had become one with the water.

The breeze blew across the river, creating tiny ripples and ruffling their hair.

The fish in the water seemed to sense the strange atmosphere and swam quietly away.

That night, the spring breeze was blowing gently and the water was rippling. They immersed themselves in each other's warmth in the water, forgetting all constraints and taboos.

After one night, the poison dissipated.

In the early morning, the sun shone on the two of them through the light morning mist.

Xuan Ji slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were confused at first, and then filled with guilt.

He looked at the woman who was still sleeping beside him, his brows furrowed, his lips pursed, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

Yu Yao woke up slowly, her eyes half sleepy. When she saw Xuan Ji's expression, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She asked cautiously, "Master, do you regret it?"

Xuan Ji remained silent, just sighed deeply, stood up and walked away.

Yu Yao didn't feel disappointed. She understood Xuan Ji's feelings. She tidied her clothes, silently swallowed a Dragon and Phoenix Pill, and followed Xuan Ji.
