Chapter 106 Boys and Girls
"Hook Snake must have escaped." After hearing what happened in Li's family, Gong Ruomei said thoughtfully.

"If a thousand-year-old demon that can transform into a human form had not sneaked out and was afraid of the dragon clan, it would not have been hiding in the sea all this time."

Tang Xue placed a few dishes in front of Yu'er, and watched her lean over to sniff around before she touched Yu'er's head contentedly and asked, "Miss, is this possible? A monster that has lived for thousands of years is still sneaking around like this?"

"What's so strange about that? Cultivation is not about who practices longer. There are gods and Buddhas in this world. If you can't defeat them, of course you have to keep a low profile." Zheng Wenjie said casually.

"Master, then aren't we very powerful? We don't even need to practice. Those ferrymen and soul-catchers have practiced for so many years but are still no match for me." Tang Xue said proudly.

"Awesome?" Gong Ruomei was a little worried when she saw Tang Xue's look: "Don't be careless, don't underestimate the enemy, tell me first if you are unsure."

"No matter how many years they have practiced, they have the power to cast spells. Don't think that one force can defeat ten skills."

Tang Xue held Yu'er in her arms and said, "Miss, even though I can't perform the witchcraft you learned, I still have Yu'er. Yu'er and I are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

"Still have to be careful." Gong Ruomei said, taking out a carved blood symbol statue from a wooden box beside her and handing it to Zheng Wenjie, saying, "Is this suitable?"

Zheng Wenjie took the statue, rubbed it in his hands, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's good. Let's do the same for the rest."

Zheng Wenjie put the statue into his bag and patted it, then looked at Gong Ruomei and asked, "Will you go out to sea with us tomorrow? It should be a good day tomorrow."

Seeing that Gong Ruomei agreed, Tang Xue smiled happily and asked Zheng Wenjie excitedly: "Master, what about Yu'er? How can I take Yu'er with me?"

Zheng Wenjie touched his chin and looked at Gong Ruomei helplessly: "This, I don't have any better solution."

Gong Ruomei smiled and said, "I can be a Wuwei, and let Yu'er possess Wuwei tomorrow."

...

Shen Cihang returned to his villa and locked himself in the Buddhist temple. He quickly took the rosary from the Buddha's hand, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and used the rosary to perform his telepathy.

Shen Cihang informed his master, Venerable Sankong, of everything that happened here, including Zheng Wenjie. Only after receiving a response did he breathe a sigh of relief and began his daily practice.

It was not until the sky gradually brightened that Shen Cihang opened his eyes. After silently reciting a meditation mantra, he solemnly bathed and changed his clothes according to etiquette. He changed into a white robe that was convenient for movement and went to the address Zheng Wenjie mentioned.

A 42-foot medium-sized yacht was sailing on the sea. Shen Cihang, wearing a white robe, stood on the deck facing the wind. His face was calm, his eyes were sharp, and he looked as if the wind was whistling and the Yi River was cold.

Behind him were the laughter of Tang Xue and Gong Ruomei.

Zheng Wenjie came behind Shen Cihang, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Shen! Seeing you today is like going to sacrifice yourself for a cause."

"Stop joking. We are almost at the island. I have already passed the news about the Hook Snake Demon to my master. My master is already gathering fellow practitioners."

Shen Cihang finished speaking seriously, turned his head and looked at Zheng Wenjie and continued: "Send me to the island in a while, and the ferryman can return."

Shen Cihang took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist, handed them to Zheng Wenjie solemnly and said: "This string of Buddhist beads is my treasure for entering Taoism. If I never come back this time, please give it to my master." Zheng Wenjie took the Buddhist beads and played with them for a while. He looked at Shen Cihang calmly: "You said that you also have a greedy heart, and you can wait for your master to bring people to deal with the hook snake together."

"Why did you go to that island alone? You knew you were no match for the enemy, but you still went there? Just because of what I said?"

Shen Cihang looked towards the sea and said in a low voice: "Strange beasts are also fierce beasts. Throughout history, whenever there are traces of strange beasts, there will be no escape from the destruction of lives."

"There's not much I can do. I teach a great method of sacrificing oneself to save others. Why should I wait for my master to perform this method?"

Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "People are greedy for life. They all say that life is short. No one would think they have lived enough, whether they live to be 80 years or 100 years."

"But that's just an ordinary person. I've already sensed your willingness to sacrifice for others." Zheng Wenjie changed the subject and continued, "However, you may be overthinking it. Hook Snake killed two of my ferrymen from the underworld. It's not reasonable for me to just stand by and watch you die. Hook Snake, I will take care of it."

Zheng Wenjie threw the Buddhist beads back to Shen Cihang and said with a smile: "Besides, I am very sure."

"I should come out more often." Gong Ruomei said as she held Zheng Wenjie's hand as he returned to her side.

Zheng Wenjie nodded and smiled, looking at Tang Xue splashing in the sea in her swimsuit and continued, "Look how happy Xiaoxue is to be out playing with you. Let's go hiking in a couple of days."

"By the way, you and Xiaoxue should not go to the island later. Keep an eye on the yacht and make sure it doesn't get destroyed. I don't want to see you swim back to Kowloon."

"Well, you have to be careful, don't be careless, and remember not to get hurt."

Before Zheng Wenjie could comfort Gong Ruomei, Tang Xue leaned on the splint and jumped over to Gong Ruomei's side. She hugged her arm and said regretfully, "It's not fun for me to go swimming alone. Yu'er refused to come out of the cabin no matter how I tricked her. I don't know why evil spirits are afraid of sea water."

Gong Ruomei patted Tang Xue and said, "Since Yu'er doesn't want to, don't force her."

"I know, Miss. How could I force Yu'er?" Tang Xue wrinkled her nose and suddenly pointed at the island that appeared in the distance. "The route is correct, it must be that place! Master, remember to let me taste the monster later. I haven't drunk monster blood yet!"

"You, me and Yu'er all stay on the boat. Don't even think about going to the island. Do you hear me?" Gong Ruomei stretched out her hand and pinched Tang Xue's nose and said with a smile.

"Be obedient. When we find the hook snake, I will allow you to do whatever you want to do to it." Zheng Wenjie stretched out his index finger and tapped Tang Xue's forehead, then walked towards Shen Cihang.

Tang Xue looked at the two helplessly and whispered, "I still want to see what the monster looks like."

Zheng Wenjie took off his shirt, and with his strong upper body naked, he casually moved his body and said to Shen Cihang, "Let me warm up first, you just watch from the side and don't do anything."

"Brother Zheng, we must not be careless!" Shen Cihang decisively vetoed it.

Zheng Wenjie smiled, turned his back to Shen Cihang, closed his pupils which had turned green, and sensed the life on the island with his mind.

There were no large life forms on the entire island, including the nearby sea area. Zheng Wenjie opened his eyes with some disappointment and said to Shen Cihang, "Hook Snake is not on the island, but there are two living people. They should be the boy and girl that Hook Snake ordered the Green-faced Demon Ghost to send 20 years ago."
