"Of course losing a soul will shorten your life, but since he is your soul master, how could Master let him have any problems?" How could he let his beloved disciple follow Fei Ran so early?Naturally, he has a way to make up for the big hole in his lifespan.

"Then..."

Qingyuan twirled his long white beard and said, "It's nothing, just give it a drink and it'll be fine."

"What are you talking about?" The more Feiran listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Initiation."

"..." Do they want to say it so calmly, as if they are discussing whether to stuff sausages for Chinese New Year this year?

"Don't worry, young man, it's just going to hurt a little bit." Although Qingyuan said comforting words, he didn't sound convincing at all.

Wait, he hasn't agreed to anything yet, okay?

Suddenly feeling something bad, when Qingyuan walked toward him with a wicked smile on his face, waving his hands, he kept jumping back with his feet.

"Shan Shan?" He stepped back and looked at his predecessor who had also been raped before.

Unexpectedly, as a martyr, Shang Shan hunched his shoulders and turned away in disgust.

"Be good, it will pass soon..." That was a nightmare that she didn't even want to recall.

Qingyuan held down Feiran who wanted to apply oil on his soles, and irresistibly put his palm on the top of his head, letting him, who had just been in pain from replenishing his soul a while ago, taste the extreme pain again.

The crackling lightning flashed in the hall, interweaving and flickering light, extremely bright and dazzling, and particularly hurting Feiran's increasingly fragile heart.

Smelling the slightly burnt smell of the hall, Shang Shan squatted down next to Fei Ran, who was still smoking all over his body, and poked him again after Qingyuan Zhenren went to play cards with other masters.

"Stop poking..." He finally understood how difficult it was to be a good soul master these days.

She stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of him, "I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"...Okay." Right now, he was physically disabled and weak in spirit, and he desperately needed that little bit of comfort.

"The good news is that you don't have to worry about your life anymore. You will live as long as you deserve. Our lives are both guaranteed."

"Then what's the bad news?" Shouldn't he need to replenish his mana from time to time?

She looked at him with extremely pitiful eyes, "Well, after receiving the magic power given to you by my master, you will become half of my master's disciples."

"This means..." He raised his head slightly, with an unpleasant premonition in his heart, "I will also become a vegetarian with you in the future?"

"Unfortunately, you got it right." Glad someone finally joined her in her vegetarian hell.

"..." He can really lose a few years of his life, really.

Shang Shan took a picture of the powerful Vajra Talisman on his body, dragged him up who was lying on the ground and refused to get up, and half dragged and half carried him towards the inner hall. But halfway there, she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to remind him of something.

"If you see my master from a distance these days, you'd better take a detour as soon as possible."

"Why?" Feiran thought that he had suffered all kinds of hardships recently, so there should be no news that could hit him again.

She said with reservation: "Taoism has been passed down by a single line for generations, so naturally my master will not admit that you are half a disciple of my master, so..."

Fei Ran made a sullen expression and finished his reasoning in one breath, "Could it be that he has a grudge against me, an outsider, because of some Taoist rules, but because he can't kill me, he wants to ravage me thousands of times?"

"Well, I'm afraid he can't help itching." In fact, Qinggang is the most narrow-minded person she has ever seen. He is so noble that he can't even hold a grain of sand in his eyes, let alone such a big target as Fei Ran?

"..." Is it still too late to go down the mountain now?

After being carried to the same guest room again to recuperate, Feiran didn't lie down for two days before he was full of life again and got into the kitchen to help Shangshan, just because the Chinese New Year would be coming in a few days.

The two of them worked together and went to the town down the mountain several times to buy supplies for the festival before the Chinese New Year. Shangshan followed the instructions of Master Qinggang and concentrated on preparing sacrifices in the kitchen, while Feiran repaired several quilts first.After overturning the broken card table, he spent a whole day frying several large pots of peanuts and melon seeds to provide the old Taoist priest with snacks to eat while playing cards. He even undertook the cleaning project of Jiwu Hall and several nearby halls.

On New Year's Eve, Master Qinggang, as the leader, led Shang Shan to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven. The dimly lit Jiwu Hall was once again filled with white-bearded old Taoist priests playing mahjong. The two juniors, who had finally finished everything, held each other's hands and quietly exited the hall, stepping on the thick snow piled on the ground to return to Shang Shan's courtyard.

The snow fell silently outside the window, and the stove in the room occasionally made a crackling sound. Shang Shan took down the roasted oranges placed by the stove and ate leisurely the oranges that had a sweeter flavor after roasting. Fei Ran, who was not full from dinner, took out the rice cakes he had hidden and eagerly waited for the aroma of the rice cakes on the grill to come out.

Seeing Mr. Ran in front of him, who was no longer dazzling in his plain robe, eating hot rice cakes while sticking out his tongue to say "hot rice cakes", Shang Shan couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Do you really want to stay here?"

"Yeah." How could he leave her alone?

She sighed, "You are a warrior and have no intention of practicing Taoism. You don't have to stay with me here." In the past few days, Master Qinggang hinted repeatedly that he could roll down the mountain and go back to celebrate the New Year with his family, but he either pretended not to hear or pretended not to understand.

He glanced at her without saying a word, then sat down next to her after cooling off his scalded fingers. He lowered his head and ate the orange she was about to put in her mouth. He then took her into his arms and kissed the fragrant lips that he had missed for a long time.

The sweet and fragrant taste intertwined between their lips and tongues. Even though the orange in his mouth had long since disappeared, Fei Ran's overbearing tongue was still tightly wrapped around her. Even though his ears heard her soft moans, the bare hands on his chest started to push because he was out of breath, but his arms tightly holding her slender waist refused to let go.

He really never thought about becoming a Taoist priest. Outside of this Taoist temple, there is also a sky that he has built over many years and is purely his own.But if she had to stay on this mountain all her life, then he could only choose to leave everything behind.

She may not understand that after he has found his life goal, it has never been a problem for him to give up the things he once admired in the past.

He murmured on her lips, "Since all living beings suffer, and you suffer the most, I have no choice but to suffer with you."

"Don't regret it?" He was always attacked by him at every turn. From the beginning, Shang Shan would punch and kick him with a blushing face, but now he just glared at him and let him go as he pleased.

"I regret it enough." His fingertips caressed her face lovingly, "I won't regret it anymore in the future."

The hot breath came to his face again. With her acquiescence, he first kissed her lightly on the lips. Seeing that she had no objection, he went a little deeper and gently teased the tip of her tongue with his tongue. It was not until her arms actively wrapped around his shoulders that he completely relaxed and attacked her mouth.

"What should I do? I'm a little impulsive..." He buried his head and pressed a few wet kisses on her neck. Unable to suppress the throbbing in his heart, his lips slid down.

"Wait..." Shang Shan, before he got too excited again, put a palm on his chin and pushed him away, "There's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time."

"What's the matter?"

"Weren't you forced to pay the price for not lifting? Then how could you still stand up?" This is something she still doesn't understand and can't figure out no matter how hard she thinks about it.

"Well, when I was making a wish..." Fei Ran scratched his cheek with his finger, "I did some tricks." He was not dumb, how could he let Du Yanzhong succeed so easily?

Her eyes were locked on his seemingly guilty look.

"What hands and feet?" As a victim of the soul paper, she didn't believe that anyone in the world could defeat the power of the soul paper.

"When they weren't paying attention, I secretly added three words on the soul paper."

"What three words?"
