Chapter 1539: Master Jing Kong Part 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The Little Princess tried hard to explain, “It’s, it’s…you, you, you… If you choke on your food, you can’t be afraid of choking and stop eating forever. So I, I can’t be afraid of encountering bad people and never go out again! The world is so big, I want to see it!”“I think you just want to take a stroll around the National Master Hall!”
Also, it’s called ‘throwing out the baby with the bathwater’!
The sovereign asked, “Did he really say that?”
The Little Princess nodded cutely, “Mhm!”
The sovereign snorted, “You seem to know quite a lot.”
He had been coaxing her all afternoon until his voice was dry, but the little girl wouldn’t listen to a word he said. What was this? Her little friend says one thing, and she takes it as gospel?
Zhang Dequan smiled and said, “One can tell she has been well taught. It’s a beautiful thing for the Little Princess to make such a friend.”
The sovereign: “Hmph.”
…
Little Jingkong slept too much during the day and wasn’t sleepy at night.
He sat in his chair, swinging his legs idly, “Jiaojiao, I want Layered Pastry, the kind without sugar.”
Layered Pastries come in sweet and savory varieties, but normally to enhance the flavor, a bit of lard is added. Only an old-brand shop in Daxing Lane offers a vegetarian oil version.
Gu Jiao said, “Alright, I’ll go buy it for you.”
Xiao Hen said, “I will go.”
Little Jingkong hopped off the ground, “I want to go too!”
Xiao Hen: No, you don’t.
Little Jingkong was determined to go out too.
Taking into account that he had just been frightened, his clinginess seemed normal, so Gu Jiao brought him along.
The National Master Hall wasn’t far from Daxing Lane, and the night was windy and cool, so the family decided to walk.
Gu Jiao held Little Jingkong’s hand in the middle as he skipped with excitement.
Shengdu’s inner city was bustling even when the curfew was off, and though it was late, the streets were still crowded with a throng of pedestrians and vehicles.
“Wow! So beautiful! Are their lanterns made of gold? Can I go take a look?”
No!
That’s a brothel!
“Wow! So lively! So many people! Can I go in and look around?”
That’s a gambling house!
“Then, then, then, what about this one?”
This is a shroud shop!
“There are so many kids over there! I want to go too!”
That’s where commoners send their children to be castrated and taken into the palace.
What are you thinking, kiddo?
Xiao Hen decisively hoisted the little one onto his shoulders.
Little Jingkong flailed, “Put me down! Put me down!”
Xiao Hen: “No.”
Little Jingkong’s face turned beet red, “I need to pee! I can’t hold it in anymore!”
Xiao Hen: “…”
A child’s need to pee comes suddenly.
Xiao Hen’s body tensed up, “Don’t you dare pee on me!” With that, he said to Gu Jiao, “I will take him to the lavatory.”
“Then I’ll go stand in line; the pastry shop is just up ahead in the alley.” Gu Jiao pointed out the direction for Xiao Hen.
Xiao Hen nodded, “I know, I’ll find you in a bit.”
Gu Jiao headed to the line at the alley ahead.
The business of the Pastry Shop was booming, and the line was incredibly long, with Gu Jiao almost queuing up to the alley across the street.
While waiting, she suddenly felt a powerful aura whisk over her head.
It was too fast, and the commoners around her were completely unaware.
At first, Gu Jiao didn’t take it seriously, but then, a second powerful aura zipped over her head.
The strength of these two people was comparable with Qun Xuan, perhaps even stronger.
The pair started fighting in another nearby alley, and Gu Jiao could clearly feel the collisions of their internal powers as they exchanged blows.
She decided to have a look.
The alley, where coffins and shrouds were sold, was eerily quiet, with closed shops, leaving only the silent waving banners under the moonlight, creating a somewhat spooky and strange atmosphere.
Gu Jiao stood outside the alley, hiding her body and only peeking her head out to spy.
Two disciples, one from Buddhism, and the other from Taoism, were sparring.
The Buddhist disciple leapt onto a nearby rooftop with a tap of his foot, turning to face the direction Gu Jiao was in.
Gu Jiao looked closely, “Eh? The handsome Monk?”
At that moment, the Taoist disciple leaped up and struck a palm toward him.
The Monk spun around and moved back half a zhang effortlessly toward Gu Jiao’s side.
Now the Taoist disciple’s face was revealed as well.
Gu Jiao was even more surprised, “Taoist priest Qingfeng?”
Why were these two fighting?
Could it be that Taoist priest Qingfeng is the same person who had been chasing the Handsome Monk last time?
A handsome Monk, a celestial Taoist priest—this was what they call a battle of gods.
“So pleasing to the eye…” Gu Jiao was captivated.
