The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

“I know a way to treat allergic reactions.” Fangzheng smiled as he looked at Tian Xin’s pained expression.

“What… What’s the solution? Achoo!” Tian Xin asked.

Fangzheng said, “Hold this puppy and take three deep breaths. You will recover immediately.”

“How is that poss… Achoo!” Tian Xin asked suspiciously.

“How about a bet? If it works, treat me to dinner. If it doesn’t work, I’ll treat you to anything you want,” said Fangzheng.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xin’s eyes lit up. Her allergies acted up regardless of the number of times she made contact with dogs, so she didn’t care. She immediately nodded and said, “It’s a deal!”

Taking the puppy from Fangzheng, she took a deep breath only to… “Ah… Choo!”

Fangzheng smiled. Taking advantage of the moment Tian Xin closed her eyes, he extended his right hand and stabbed a green Qi needle into Tian Xin’s acupuncture point. Then, he quickly retracted it.

After Tian Xin sneezed, she suddenly realized that she no longer felt as uncomfortable. However, she still wanted to sneeze. She looked suspiciously at Fangzheng, but he was grinning at her.

Tian Xin took another deep breath of the puppy, only to sneeze again. Fangzheng did the same thing and poked Tian Xin’s acupuncture point with the Qi needle again.

Tian Xin only felt that her allergic reaction had improved a little. At that moment, Tian Xin suddenly became excited. She hugged the puppy and breathed hard. Fangzheng continued. After three times, Tian Xin was shocked to discover that regardless of how much she inhaled, regardless of how close she was to the puppy, she was not sneezing as a result of her allergies! Her snot and tears were nowhere to be seen!

“Wow! It’s true! I’m no longer having an allergic reaction!” Tian Xin exclaimed excitedly. “I didn’t expect that I could treat my allergies this way. What kind of principle is that?”

Fangzheng smiled. “The principle of bluffing.”

Tian Xin was taken aback. She clearly didn’t understand what Fangzheng meant. She thought that he was joking, so she asked, “Bluffing the nerves?”

Fangzheng said with a faint smile, “That’s right. Bluffing the nerves…”

Tian Xin nodded thoughtfully. “Yes, not bad. My friend is allergic to cats. I’ll get her to try this method later.”

When Fangzheng heard that, a scene of a fierce battle flashed across his mind. Just as he was about to persuade her against it, a police siren sounded. The police had arrived.

The moment the police arrived, they saw the four people rolling on the ground. They looked at Fangzheng, then at Tian Xin. Finally, they looked at the stray dog and asked, “Who called the police?”

“Me!” Tian Xin subconsciously raised her hand.

“What’s going on?” a policeman asked.

Fangzheng took a step back. He hated trouble the most, so he might as well let Tian Xin bear the brunt of it. Tian Xin was a lively, cheerful person, and outspoken person. Before the police even asked, she went on and on.

In the end, the officer in charge of recording her statement couldn’t help but interrupt Tian Xin. “There’s no need to mention what dishes you were eating. Let’s get to the point.”

Tian Xin was instantly embarrassed. She cleared her throat and started to focus. “I was thinking…”

“You don’t have to tell me what you were thinking. Tell me the process,” reminded the officer.

Tian Xin thought for a moment and waved her arms. With a fierce look, she said, “They were especially arrogant when they came. They walked like this…”

“There’s no need to imitate them. Say… Well, in any case, you don’t have to say any of that.” The officer interrupted her mercilessly.

…

“There’s no need to say that either.” The officer had already lost count of the number of times he had reminded Tian Xin not to stray from the topic.

When Tian Xin heard this, she felt a little angry. There was no need to say this, there was no need for that. What did they want to hear from her then? She got angry and said, “They came, then they fought. I called the police. You’re here. That’s it!”

The officer taking the statement was instantly dumbfounded.

Tian Xin turned her head and said, “What are you looking at? That’s all. I’m not going to entertain you any further!”

With that said, Tian Xin patted Fangzheng and said with an air of dominance, “Carry our dog. Let’s go!”

Fangzheng looked at the two dumbfounded police officers and smiled apologetically. He hurriedly bent down and picked up the few puppies. Tian Xin helped take two while the hero dog followed behind them. Then, the couple and the dog left.

The recording officer snapped back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. “This girl is quite interesting. But what about this record?”

“Don’t bother. There’s a camera opposite this area. We just need to take a look to know,” said the other policeman.

The recording officer nodded, then together with the other policeman, they forcefully separated the four men who were still fighting on the ground. However, the four men were still screaming as though they were going to fight each other to the death, causing the policemen to be in a tizzy.

When Fangzheng left the alley, the dim Buddhist light in his eyes instantly extinguished. At the same time, the four men snapped to their senses. When they saw that the skeleton and zombie opposite them were their brothers, they were instantly dumbfounded. When they looked up again, they saw that they were surrounded by the police. What was even worse was that their Eldest Brother had grabbed a policeman’s collar, as though he wanted to beat him up…

At that instant, the four of them broke out in a cold sweat. They had an ominous feeling. It was unlikely that they would be imprisoned for just a few days this time!

“Very nice. Brawling on the streets and assaulting a police officer. The four of you, well done!” one of the police officers whose hat had been struck away said angrily.

The four fellows immediately lowered their heads, not daring to say a word. However, their minds were filled with question marks. They had clearly seen monsters! What was going on?

When they looked in the direction of the dog’s nest, they felt a chill run down their spine. They knew that they had encountered something evil! Thinking back to the hellhound’s words, they bitterly exchanged looks and saw the panic in each other’s eyes. The police weren’t scary, but the supernatural was.

No matter what was on their minds, Fangzheng followed Tian Xin and sent her back to her apartment building.

There was a small park downstairs with some long benches. Tian Xin didn’t head upstairs. Instead, she sat on one side of the long bench and Fangzheng sat on the other end. In the middle were five small puppies.

The five puppies were lined up as they sunbathed and wagged their tails. They seemed to be very satisfied with the life in front of them after having their fill. They had no idea how much their mother had sacrificed for them.

The hero dog lay by Fangzheng’s feet as she lazily narrowed her eyes. She seemed to understand that following these two people meant that she wouldn’t need to worry about food. There was no rush for her to seek out food, so she appeared very relaxed.

This scene looked very heartwarming, but the two humans sitting there wore awkward expressions.

By now, both of them knew that there was no way to continue the act.

Tian Xin knew that Fangzheng wasn’t Ding Mu, and Fangzheng also knew that Tian Xin knew the truth. However, the two of them were still together. What would be the subsequent plot? Fangzheng didn’t know… Tian Xin didn’t seem to know either, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

Fangzheng also knew that his mission this time was most likely related to Tian Xin. Otherwise, the System would not have turned him into Ding Mu and thrown him here.
