Ch 144: Han Xiaobei Wants To Become A Daoist Priest Too?

“Meng Changyong’s child is indeed a bit arrogant; letting him receive a lesson would be good too.” Shi Chong said:

“Otherwise, letting him develop a temperament like Zhang Xianzhen’s wouldn’t be a good thing either.”

“Speaking of Zhang Xianzhen, how is he? I heard he was quite badly injured,” Su Zili asked.

“Luckily, he’s fortunate and escaped with his life, without any lasting disability.”

“However, after this incident, his temperament should become much calmer.”

“First the Poison Cicada Squad, then the Wang Family—what exactly is the Heavenly Yin Society trying to accomplish? They’re becoming bolder and bolder!” Shi Chongtian’s knuckles turned white with rage, his face filled with anger.

Xia Yun was quite optimistic: “Let’s not talk about what they’re trying to do for now, but this time the Heavenly Yin Society also suffered heavy losses. The Poison Cicada Squad and the Wu Zhuogong Team were almost completely wiped out; the only survivor is Bei Miaomiao.”

“Bei Miaomiao… A’Jie’s younger sister, that’s quite a headache.” Shi Chongtian rubbed his temples, seemingly troubled.

“No need to worry too much; according to Zhang Buran’s temperament, he certainly won’t let Bei Miaomiao continue to be a troublemaker in the Heavenly Yin Society.”

Xia Yun looked up at the ceiling and said:

“But if the Daoist Alliance harms Bei Miao, Zhang Buran will most likely protect her.”

Shi Chongtian suddenly remembered something and said seriously:

“The Poison Cicada Squad’s widespread destruction caused many casualties and frightened many people… but among these people, an anomaly was discovered.”

“She is a little girl, 18 years old, who seems to have developed spiritual power later in life. After the Poison Cicada Squad’s attack, frightened, she was actually able to summon magical power.”

“And she has a curse on her, but it’s a benevolent curse.”

Xia Yun wasn’t too surprised.

“Developing spiritual power later in life, and being cursed… that’s the reason for the curse, right?”

“What’s her name? Have you checked her ancestral lineage?”

Shi Chongtian replied: “Her name is Han Xiaobei. Her background has been checked; she was an ordinary person before, and her ancestors were ordinary people as well.”

“But now she has magical power, and her talent is extraordinary. She has been taken back to the Daoist Alliance Headquarters; I feel the Daoist Alliance intends to cultivate her.”

“Han Xiaobei…”

Xia Yun remembered the name but didn’t pay much attention to it.

…

Magic City Daoist Alliance Headquarters.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old little girl sat on a stool, her eyes full of disbelief; it was Han Xiaobei.

In front of Han Xiaobei stood an elderly man, a Yellow Level Daoist of the Daoist Alliance, He Yinzi.

Han Xiaobei was greatly shocked: “Uncle He, let me summarize this… In other words, not only do ghosts exist in this world, but Daoists also exist, and I now have the qualifications to become a Daoist?”

“Yes.”

He Yinzi nodded solemnly: “You have talent; becoming a Daoist is the best choice.”

“But… I’ve never been a Daoist before. You suddenly told me to become a Daoist; I feel a little uneasy.”

Han Xiaobei, this naive and innocent girl, didn’t question it much.

Instead, she easily believed everything He Yinzi described.

However, Han Xiaobei found it very novel and exciting.

Han Xiaobei’s worldview was shocked, so she hadn’t recovered yet.

Han Xiaobei had just applied for a part-time waiter job to save money for her dream of becoming a celebrity.

Because Han Xiaobei wanted to catch up with Zhang Buran.

But who knew, an earthquake suddenly struck, and a large group of man-eating Flying Cicadas flew in.

Watching a living person be sucked into a corpse within a few seconds, Han Xiaobei was terrified and her soul was shattered.

Seeing that she was about to meet the same fate, Han Xiaobei, in extreme terror, screamed.

At that time, Han Xiaobei also forgot the specific scene; she only remembered something exploding from within her body.

Then many rotating maple leaves flew around her, cutting all the cicadas in half…

Han Xiaobei was also scared and stunned at the time.

At that time, Han Xiaobei didn’t know why these maple leaves suddenly appeared to protect her.

Only after the crisis was resolved did the maple leaves turn into light spots and disappear, and then Han Xiaobei fainted.

When she woke up, she was here, and then she received He Yinzi’s brainwashing…

Knowing about ghosts and monsters, Daoists, and knowing that she had the talent to become a Daoist… Han Xiaobei only felt excited.

This is definitely the beginning of a novel heroine!

Awakening her talent, joining a mysterious organization, fighting against evil forces… Han Xiaobei was now excited and thrilled.

“The Daoist Alliance is a hidden organization affiliated with the state. It is responsible for cultivating talented individuals like you. After training, you will be assigned work according to your abilities. You don’t need to worry about this,” He Yinzi explained.

“Is being a Daoist fun?”

“Is being a Daoist dangerous?”

“When you’re a Daoist, is it like Lin Zhengying, wielding a sword and stabbing zombies?”

“Do Daoists get paid?”

“Right, are there rules against dating or getting married if you’re a Daoist? If so, I won’t do it!”

“Also…”

Han Xiaobei asked a series of questions, making He Yinzi dizzy, unsure which question to answer first.

“There are dangerous missions and also not-so-dangerous missions…”

“Daoists get paid. After training, the lowest-level ordinary Daoists earn more than 10,000 yuan per month. Salaries increase when promoted to Yellow Level Daoists. I am a Yellow Level Daoist, and my monthly basic salary is over 30,000 yuan. I can also take on missions. Higher-level Profound Level Daoists are even better…”

“Based on the level of magical power you’ve shown, you’re at least a Yellow Level Daoist.”

He Yinzi answered a series of questions, but Han Xiaobei popped out another string of questions.

“Are all Daoists so powerful! Ordinary Daoists earn over 10,000 yuan? They can also take on missions? How much money do missions pay?”

“What do Daoists do on missions? Is it just catching ghosts?”

“What do ghosts look like? Can I see one?”

“Are ghosts invisible and intangible?”

“Are ghosts ugly?”

“Are there zombies too?”

He Yinzi: “…”

After more than ten minutes, finally answering all the questions of this curious Han Xiaobei, He Yinzi felt parched and drank several glasses of water.

“Uncle He, I’m sorry for asking so many questions,” Han Xiaobei said apologetically with a smile.

After gulping down two mouthfuls of water, He Yinzi waved his hand and said: “It’s alright…”

“Hey… I have another question.”

“My dear little granddaughter, can you ask all your questions at once?”

He Yinzi was about to collapse.

Han Xiaobei stuck out her tongue shyly and asked: “After becoming a Daoist, can I still work in other professions?”

“Other professions? You mean…” He Yinzi asked questioningly.

“Like… can I become an artist or something?” Han Xiaobei asked innocently.

He Yinzi replied: “You can. After graduating from the Daoist Arts Academy, you can choose to be a Freelance Daoist.”

“Freelance Daoists don’t need to accept assigned missions and can freely decide what missions to take, but they won’t have a fixed salary; they’ll only be rewarded for completing missions, but you’ll have time to do other things.”

“I see…”

After thinking for a moment, Han Xiaobei immediately made a decision:

“Okay, then I want to be a Daoist!”

…

After leaving the Wen Family, Zhang Buran followed Bei Miaomiao’s aura, wanting to see where this little girl was hiding.

Zhang Buran had infused Bei Miaomiao with magical power.

Wherever she fled, Zhang Buran knew exactly where she was.

The wounds Bei Miaomiao inflicted on Zhang Buran were still slightly painful, but it didn’t matter at all.

Flying farther and farther, gradually leaving the city, arriving at the wilderness, and finally reaching the deep mountain forest far from Magic City.

“This little girl is hiding in this deep mountain forest?”

“She’s really cautious.”

Zhang Buran certainly needed to pay more attention to Miaomiao, ideally guiding her onto the right path.

Bei Mingjie had gone down a path of no return, forcing Zhang Buran to kill him.

Zhang Buran couldn’t stand by and watch Bei Miaomiao stray from the path, following in Bei Mingjie’s footsteps again.

…

In a certain forest, Bei Miaomiao was facing a pocket watch, casting a spell and chanting ancient incantations.

As Bei Miaomiao infused the pocket watch with magical power, it seemed to endure immense pressure and began to tremble violently.

Finally, the pocket watch couldn’t withstand the pressure, and with a crisp “bang,” the face shattered, and the case broke in two.

Immediately, from within the pocket watch, a black mist began to emanate, a gradually rising and terrifying Ghost Qi quietly arrived!

Bei Miaomiao was overjoyed, beaming.

“It worked!”

“Wu Xinshi! Appear!”

As the black mist gradually increased, the entire pocket watch also exploded with a loud “boom,” shattering into powder!

Instantly, the black mist soared into the sky!

The black mist instantly spread above Bei Miaomiao’s head, quickly transforming into white mist. Within the white mist, a woman in a white robe rapidly condensed.

In the white mist, even though the woman’s face was vaguely visible, her stunning beauty was still apparent.

Wearing a thick white robe, her unbound white hair naturally cascaded down to her waist.

This woman’s appearance was no different from ordinary people, except her skin was exceptionally pale, and her beautiful eyes were a strange purplish-blue.

“More than 200 years… who released me?”

The white-haired woman looked around in bewilderment and spoke.

After looking around, the woman’s inquisitive gaze fell on Bei Miaomiao:

“Young woman, did you release me?”

Bei Miaomiao nodded with a smile: “That’s right.”

“I thought the legendary Wu Xinshi, the state preceptor of the Wu Xin Kingdom, had a ferocious appearance, but she’s a great beauty!”

“Heh… little sister, you have quite a charming mouth.”

Wu Xinshi’s eyes were calm:

“Since you released me, you must have a reason. Tell me; I’ll try my best to fulfill your wish.”

Bei Miaomiao’s hands trembled excitedly, her eyes revealing a hint of greed as she looked at Wu Xinshi. Then, a meaningful curve appeared on her lips: “Of course… I want you!”

“I want you to serve me!”

Having said that, Bei Miaomiao raised her hand and summoned several spirit snakes.

The spirit snakes opened their bloody mouths and unexpectedly lunged towards Wu Xinshi!
