Chapter 447.2: The Various Beauties of the Human World - Part 2

After the Temple master left, Yun Jianyue turned around and looked at his Senior Sister, who appeared behind him at some point, and smiled, "Senior Sister, you're here."

Ye Zhihua glanced lightly at Yun Jianyue without saying a word.

Yun Jianyue hurriedly said, "It's all the Temple Master's idea. I don't have any thoughts about it."

Ye Zhihua remained indifferent and just said softly, "The Saintess Zhu Xia from the Myriad Heaven Palace is said to be very beautiful."

Yun Jianyue looked puzzled, "How could there be anyone more beautiful than Senior Sister in this world?"

Ye Zhihua replied calmly, "You can see for yourself whether she is. After all, there will be several months."

Yun Jianyue shook his head frantically, "No need to see, no need to see. I bet there's no woman in the world more beautiful than Senior Sister."

Ye Zhihua said nothing, just turned and left.

Yun Jianyue sighed, slapped his forehead, and immediately turned to go down the mountain. However, before leaving, he changed into a set of daoist robes. After all, he represented the Infatuation Daoist Temple and could not afford to lose face.

……

……

A few people arrived in the town outside the Infatuation Daoist Temple.

Two daoist nuns accompanied a young girl and arrived in the town.

Originally, they were supposed to pass through the town and head straight to the foot of the mountain. However, as they passed through the town, the girl was lured by the food being sold there and could not move on. Under her persistent pleading, the two daoist nuns had no choice but to stay. Now, they had reached the gate of the Infatuation Daoist Temple, and it seemed that no accidents would happen, so they did not insist on moving on.

The girl was Zhu Xia, the Saintess of the Myriad Heaven Palace. At this moment, after eating at several shops, she stopped in front of a steamed bun shop and ordered two baskets of steamed dumplings, enjoying them heartily with the shop's soy milk.

The two daoist nuns sat opposite, watching this scene with some helplessness. One of them reminded in a low voice, "Saintess, eat slower. This is outside, you should maintain your dignity. If your identity is known, you'll be ridiculed."

Zhu Xia murmured twice but did not look up. Looking as the steamed dumplings in front of her were stuffed into her mouth one by one, her cheeks bulged like a big bun.

The two daoist nuns exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, but they did not say anything. In terms of status, the girl in front of them was honored as the saintess; much higher than their own status on the mountain. Moreover, this time, the palace lord only sent them to escort the saintess to the Infatuation Daoist Temple, simply saying that as long as the saintess was happy, nothing else mattered.

Myriad Heaven Palace and the Infatuation Daoist Temple were the leaders of the Great Peace Dao and Longevity Dao respectively, originally in opposition. However, both were branches of Daoism, with deep roots. There was a supreme scripture in Daoism, its ownership was unclear back then, and both sides wanted it. Therefore, a rule was established: every sixty years, each side would send a representative to compete. The winner would gain control of the scripture for sixty years. These few years, the Myriad Heaven Palace had declined. For many years, the scripture actually resided in the Infatuation Daoist Temple. It was only a little over a hundred years ago that the venerable sage of Myriad Heaven Palace won once and brought the scripture back to Myriad Heaven Palace for sixty years. However, soon after, the Temple Master of the Infatuation Daoist Temple emerged, bringing the scripture back to the temple. The venerable sage of Myriad Heaven Palace could not intervene again and could only allow the Infatuation Daoist Temple to win. Ironically, the great daoist sage, who was also Zhu Xia's master, had also passed away.

Although the scripture was kept by the winning side, the other side had the right to send a disciple to comprehend it during that sixty-year period. Myriad Heaven Palace did not have a disciple with talents surpassing this saintess, so this heavy responsibility fell on Zhu Xia now.

However, this saintess in front of them seemed to not regard this precious opportunity as much of an opportunity at all. Along the way, there was not a trace of seriousness in her expression.

They had originally thought that after the passing of the venerable sage, the Palace Lord of the Myriad Heaven Palace who expected a drastic change in temperament from the saintess, would be relieved. After all, Zhu Xia's talent was indeed exceptional, and as long as she was willing to put effort into cultivation, that would not be a problem. As for her character, he did not care.

Meanwhile, after finishing the two baskets of buns, Zhu Xia suddenly looked up with a hopeful expression and asked the two daoist nuns, "Senior Sisters, can I have another basket of dumplings?"

The two daoist nuns were speechless, but they still ordered another basket of dumplings for the saintess.

Zhu Xia grinned, revealing two adorable dimples.

Even the owner of the bun shop, when serving the dumplings, could not help but marvel at how much this young lady could eat.

The two daoist nuns lowered their heads, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.

Zhu Xia did not care at all. While eating, she asked, "Senior Sisters, how is the food at the Infatuation Daoist Temple? Is it as delicious as what we have on our mountain?"

"Saintess, this is our first time coming to the Infatuation Daoist Temple as well, so... we don't know."

The two daoist nuns, seemingly resigned to their fate, now answered questions without hesitation.

Zhu Xia gave an "oh", a hint of disappointment on her face, but then she smiled, saying, "That's okay. If the food isn't good, we'll just come down from the mountain to eat."

One of the daoist nuns frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Infatuation Daoist Temple probably has its own rules. Although we are guests, it wouldn't be appropriate to cause a disturbance."

Zhu Xia furrowed her brow, finished the last dumpling, wiped her mouth, and sighed, "I miss the honey dates from the Divine Capital."

Although she had brought a lot when leaving the Divine Capital earlier, there would come a time when even that supply would run out. Besides, she did not have much restraint when it came to eating. Sometimes when she was happy, she could finish several bags in one go.

Naturally, no matter how much she had, it would not last long.

After finishing the dumplings, Zhu Xia stood up, patted her stomach, and said contentedly, "Senior Sisters, I'm full!"

The two daoist nuns laughed bitterly but did not forget to pay. Afterward, the three of them walked out of the town and soon arrived at the back mountain, where they could see a young daoist dressed in dark red robes standing at the foot of the mountain.

The two daoist nuns stopped.

The young daoist introduced himself, "This lowly daoist is Yun Jianyue from the Infatuation Daoist Temple, waiting here for the saintess."

The two daoist nuns were taken aback. Although they knew that someone would come to greet them when they arrived at the Infatuation Daoist Temple, they had not expected it to be one of the Twin Pillars of Daoism standing before them.

One of the most remarkable young geniuses in the world today.

Zhu Xia had a curious face, "You're Yun Jianyue?"

Yun Jianyue nodded with a smile and asked, "I believe you must be Zhu Xia?"

Zhu Xia tilted her head back, smiling slightly, two dimples appearing on her cheeks, very adorable.

Yun Jianyue was taken aback for a moment, then murmured, "Truly on par with Senior Sister."
