The Invincible Female Ghost Is A Bit Of A Hopeless Romantic Chapter 151: When did I kick you out?!

Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

Just what kind of thing was trying to lure away the Deity of Beauty?

The Deity of Beauty had made it very clear, it was the sa as her.

It was a god.

She also said it felt familiar, yet she disliked it.

This ant the one coming was definitely not a righteous deity.

It was most likely a wild deity from the countryside.

Like Yellow Braised Chicken.

Yellow Braised Chicken is now a proper Household Guardian Immortal for the Zhao family, enjoying incense and receiving offerings.

This is thanks to it having survived a tribulation and attained enlightennt.

But attaining enlightennt isn't the end of all worries.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan acting as a matchmaker, Yellow Braised Chicken might not have secured such stable incense offerings from a family like the Zhaos.

It might only have been able to barely sustain itself in so village or small town.

The relationship between a god and its believers is also a two-way street.

Believers offer incense, but the deity may not necessarily respond.

If a deity is not efficacious, doesn't get things done, believers will gradually lose their reverence.

When the incense offerings cease, the deity will depart.

Those dilapidated Earth God temples and Mountain God temples are proof of deities wandering.

Gods are not entirely good.

It's just a neutral term.

Not all gods uphold good intentions.

Deities can also fall, transforming into malevolent deities.

This isn't like the Liu family's forcibly manufactured malevolent deity.

It's a natural descent into depravity.

The path to becoming a god is inherently full of opportunities and variables.

A willow tree from the Taiyin Mountains, struck by lightning yet not dying, instead gaining sentience, eventually evolving divine nature.

Without guidance, in a place like the Taiyin Mountains teeming with malevolent entities, it's extrely easy to be corrupted, reduced to a malevolent deity.

When you get down to it.

The entanglent of Fate Patterns between Lu Yuan and the Deity of Beauty ca precisely because of this.

The Patriarch's aning was very clear.

He wanted Lu Yuan to guide the Deity of Beauty, to beco her Guide.

The old man had said that without Lu Yuan, the Deity of Beauty, this blank sheet of paper, would be extrely susceptible to corruption by malevolent entities.

Ultimately, she would fall back into being a malevolent deity.

"You absolutely must not listen to their nonsense!"

Lu Yuan snapped out of his thoughts, looking solemnly at the Deity of Beauty.

"Those things are definitely not good guys!"

"Be careful they lure you back into becoming a malevolent deity!"

In response to Lu Yuan's words, the Deity of Beauty just gave him a charming, coquettish glare.

"Do I look like an idiot to you?"

She gave a light snort.

"I'm here playing mahjong every day, having no idea how much fun it is~"

Lu Yuan, however, didn't relax in the slightest.

What he was talking about wasn't the present at all.

"I'm not talking about now!"

Lu Yuan emphasized his tone.

"Right now, with our Fate Patterns entangled, you naturally can't leave."

"I'm talking about, after we untangle this entanglent!"

He looked directly at the Deity of Beauty.

"You mustn't listen to their temptations, and definitely don't get mixed up with them!"

Lu Yuan looked at the Deity of Beauty, speaking with utmost seriousness.

Lu Yuan's extre seriousness actually made the Deity of Beauty freeze for a mont.

In that brief mont of her freezing, Lu Yuan suddenly noticed the expression on the Deity of Beauty's face change.

It changed into a kind of... expression he had never seen on her before.

What was the Deity of Beauty like before?

When he first t the Deity of Beauty, she carried unparalleled divinity, then smiled and seduced Lu Yuan.

It couldn't exactly be called seduction either; perhaps back then it was called self-preservation.

Afterwards, it was like now, either squinting her eyes while smiling, or tilting her head asking "wanna play mahjong?"

She didn't hold grudges, her personality was carefree and straightforward.

Only that night when she talked about the entanglent of their Fate Patterns did she fall sowhat silent, lancholic.

In short, she was always vivid, lively, like a carefree little bird.

But now, that flawless, perfect face slowly shed its smile, like the tide receding, revealing the never-before-seen rocks beneath.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze shifting from Lu Yuan's face, landing on so unseen place in the distance.

The Deity of Beauty's expression was very serious.

The morning sunlight shone from behind her, gilding her silhouette with an extrely faint golden edge, even her eyelashes catching tiny, fragnted light.

She was thinking.

Thinking very seriously.

Lu Yuan didn't know what the Deity of Beauty was thinking, and just as he was about to speak, the Deity of Beauty suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Yuan with utmost seriousness and said:

"How can you be so certain that after our Fate Pattern entanglent is untangled, I will leave?"

"That I will depart?!"

Her voice rose a bit, carrying a kind of forcefulness she had never shown before.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a mont, imdiately raising an eyebrow and saying:

"Weren't you there that night?"

"Or didn't you hear?!"

"The old man made it very clear back then!"

And as Lu Yuan finished this sentence, he saw those beautiful eyes of the Deity of Beauty, resplendent like stars, gradually grow deep.

Not dim, but deep.

Like a crystal-clear, shallow stream suddenly turning into an unfathomably deep pool.

That depth wasn't emotion, but... divinity.

Yes, divinity.

The Deity of Beauty was usually all laughs and jokes, playing mahjong, gnawing on frozen pears, learning the accent from beyond the Great Wall, appearing carefree.

If not for her being truly too perfect, one really couldn't associate her with a deity.

But at this mont, that feeling of "god" suddenly erged.

Her eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly.

Just that once.

But that single furrowing of her brows changed the lines of her entire face.

From originally exquisite perfection, it transford into a kind of... indescribable solemnity.

Not cold, nor aloof, but the kind where you look at her and suddenly realize...

She is a deity.

Not a human pretending, not a human acting, but a true deity, born from an object.

Her eyelashes lowered, covering half of the light in her eyes.

Sunlight danced on the tips of her eyelashes, shattering into tiny points of golden light.

"Him?!"

The Deity of Beauty's voice carried a note of disdain.

"What the hell does he know?!"

"Is what he says the absolute truth?!"

"My own thoughts, my choices, since when does he get to dictate them?!"

Her words were forceful and resounding.

"I am a deity born from an object!"

"I am a deity!"

"What I want to do now, what I choose to do, even with Fate Pattern entanglent, is up to !"

Each word was firm and impactful.

After speaking, she gave a light snort, turned, and walked away.

Her sleeves fluttered, stirring up a faint, subtle fragrance.

Lu Yuan was utterly dumbfounded, not yet having snapped back to reality.

After walking just two steps, the Deity of Beauty suddenly turned around again.

This ti Lu Yuan saw clearly.

She seed a bit angry.

That exquisitely perfect face was now puffed up with anger.

The tip of her nose wrinkled slightly.

Her lips were pressed together, forming a straight line, yet the corners of her mouth drooped downward, clearly sulking.

The most telling part was, a very faint, very faint layer of pink actually appeared on her cheeks.

Not from shyness, but from anger.

That pink spread from her cheeks all the way to the roots of her ears, making that already perfect face appear even more vividly unreal.

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, about to say sothing.

The next second, the frozen pear in his hand was instantly snatched back by the Deity of Beauty.

The movent was startlingly fast, her fair, slender fingers "whooshed" past his palm with an undeniable force.

"Give it to the dog to eat!"

Lu Yuan: "???"

After saying that, the Deity of Beauty, holding the frozen pear, directly floated towards the side hall.

That head of jet-black long hair gently lifted behind her, then settled.

After floating a few steps, without looking back, her voice drifted over from ahead, carrying a tone of gritted teeth:

"Won't give it to you to eat either!"

Lu Yuan: "?????"

Hey!!

How's that for talking?!

How's that for cursing people?!

Those words were said by the old man, not by !!

Of course I believe the old man!!!

Besides!

What was wrong with what I just said?!

Absolutely nothing!!

I was just giving a couple of warnings!

Hey!!

How did she get so worked up over this?!

Is it puberty?!

Playing the rebel here, won't even let say a couple of words?!!

Having snapped back to reality, Lu Yuan still wanted to say sothing more, but then he saw the Deity of Beauty had already vanished.

Lu Yuan was sowhat speechless.

And she says she's a deity?!

This?!

Her emotions aren't even as stable as Qingwan, who lacks emotions!

Deity my ass!

For a mont, Lu Yuan was also a bit angry.

But...

Angry as he was, this matter definitely couldn't be ignored!

Lu Yuan needed to go have a "chat" with those "deities."

Go ask them!

Damn it all!

What do these "deities" an?!

Coming to pick a fight right outside Zhenlong Temple's mountain gate?!

This matter was actually very strange. Logically speaking, given that Zhenlong Temple's incense is now flourishing, there shouldn't be such things around!

The power of a Taoist temple isn't just related to the cultivation of the priests inside; it's also tied to other factors.

Especially for wandering malevolent entities and deities, what's more crucial is the Incense and Prayer Power within the temple.

The more flourishing the incense, the more abundant the prayer power, the more efficacious the enshrined Three Pure Ones statues beco.

The more efficacious the statues, the larger the area of their protection.

Logically speaking, considering Zhenlong Temple's current state of flourishing incense...

Not to ntion Qixia Mountain, even Qixia Town at the foot of the mountain should be completely enveloped in protection!

How dare there still be "things" coming to the door?!

This could completely be considered a challenge!

Last ti when the Deity of Beauty blocked Zhenlong Temple's entrance, that was one thing.

After all, she had already survived her tribulation and beco a deity by then, and had undergone the Patriarch's thorough tempering by thunder and fire.

A complete, thorough deity born from an object!

Plus, she had her Fate Pattern entangled with his, so not fearing Zhenlong Temple's oppressive aura was sowhat understandable.

So, the Deity of Beauty blocking the door at the mountain's foot, Lu Yuan could let it slide, Lu Yuan wouldn't pick a fight.

But as for the others...

Isn't that a bit too damn much?!

This is simply not putting Zhenlong Temple in their eyes at all!!

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more sothing felt off. Tonight, he absolutely had to have a good "communication" with these "deities"!

Even though he was currently still quietly nurturing his zhenran and clearing his ridians.

But this was Zhenlong Temple!

If sothing major really happened, Lu Yuan wasn't afraid in the slightest!

With the Three Pure Ones statues backing him up, what was there to be afraid of?!

Soon, while pondering this, Lu Yuan arrived at the side hall door.

Before he even pushed the door open, he heard Aunt Qin and Aunt Qiao'er's charming, bone-lting laughter coming from inside.

So seductive~

Lu Yuan was just about to push the door and enter when his footsteps suddenly halted.

Oh—

Fuck!

Lu Yuan suddenly had an epiphany!

He finally understood!

Understood why these "deities" were blocking the door, understood why they had no reverence for Zhenlong Temple.

Because...

What else could it be because of?!

Because of Lu Yuan!!

Because he, Lu Yuan, had quietly "stolen" all the temple's Incense and Prayer Power!

Stolen it all for Qingwan to use!!

Lu Yuan was wondering what felt off...

So the root cause was here!

As for the fact that Gu Qingwan was in the temple, shouldn't those "things" be able to sense her?

Naturally, they couldn't sense her!

Whether it was the side hall or the coffin where Gu Qingwan's true body resided, both were tightly sealed with qi-concealing talismans.

With these talismans in place, naturally not a shred of Gu Qingwan's aura would leak out.

If Qingwan's aura could leak out, then it would be ga over.

Anyone with even a bit of cultivation, passing by Zhenlong Temple, would know what was being nurtured inside.

And rember, last ti even Master Uncle He Xun, a Celestial Master of this generation, a Grand Celestial Master, ca to the door and didn't notice anything.

He even insisted on going in to make dumplings.

If even a Grand Celestial Master couldn't detect anything at the door, other "things" naturally wouldn't be able to detect anything either.

Especially since Qingwan was so obedient~

She was told not to leave the side hall, and she truly didn't take a single step out.

......

Inside the side hall.

The clattering sound of mahjong tiles was incessant.

Zhao Qiao'er sat on the east side, those jade-like hands painted with bright red nail polish, pinching a One of Bamboo tile, pondering whether to play it or not.

Today she wore a lotus-root-purple padded dress, making that bright, beautiful face appear even more charming, her eyes sparkling with allure as they moved.

Song iqin sat opposite her, wearing a moon-white blouse, her hair styled in an elegant bun, slowly and thodically drawing a tile.

Gu Qingwan sat facing south.

She was still in that moon-white outfit, surrounded by faint, indistinct black and red mist.

That flawless, ethereal face, radiating a clear, cold lifelessness, was currently staring at the tiles in front of her.

Staring very intently.

So intently that her eyes didn't blink, as if trying to see a flower bloom from those mahjong tiles.

When the Deity of Beauty floated in, this was the scene she saw.

She landed angrily in her seat.

The west side, directly facing Gu Qingwan.

Zhao Qiao'er looked up at her, raising a beautiful eyebrow:

"Oh, what's wrong? Who made our ii Sangnei angry?"

The Deity of Beauty didn't make a sound, just placed the frozen pear in her hand on the table.

That frozen pear was black and shiny, with a clear bite mark on it.

Clearly, such a big bite was taken by Lu Yuan.

Song iqin also looked up, her gaze circling the frozen pear once, then looking at the Deity of Beauty's puffed-up, angry face.

She adjusted the gold-rimd glasses on her delicate, upturned nose, her eyes sparkling, but didn't speak.

"Play."

The Deity of Beauty muttered.

Zhao Qiao'er and Song iqin exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of amusent in each other's eyes.

"Alright, alright, let's play."

Zhao Qiao'er played that One of Bamboo tile.

"Qingwan, your turn."

Hearing this, Gu Qingwan shifted her gaze from her tiles, looking at the One of Bamboo Zhao Qiao'er had played.

She looked at it for three breaths.

Then, she slowly extended her hand, drew two tiles from her own hand, and placed them on the table.

"... Pong."

Her voice was clear and cold, devoid of any worldly warmth.

The Deity of Beauty glanced at her, suddenly asking:

"Qingwan, tell , if I left, would you miss ?"

Gu Qingwan tilted her head, looking at the Deity of Beauty.

Those beautiful eyes held a faint trace of confusion.

Gu Qingwan didn't speak, seemingly not understanding.

If the Deity of Beauty left, why would she miss her?

Zhao Qiao'er, sitting to the side, laughed out loud at this mont, her voice incredibly charming, carrying a seductive charm:

"What nonsense are you talking~"

"Where are you going in the middle of winter?"

The Deity of Beauty pursed her lips, pushing the other three frozen pears onto the table as well.

"That guy Lu Yuan said!"

"After our Fate Pattern entanglent is untangled, he's going to kick out!"

Right at that mont, the side hall door was pushed open violently.

Lu Yuan's head poked in, his face a picture of bewildernt, shouting loudly:

"Hey!!!"

"You!!"

"I never said I was going to kick you out!!"
