Starting Cultivation During a Trip

The high-speed train slowly entered the station, and the speed started to decrease.

A subtle atmosphere brewed in the narrow space; the girl in his arms gradually calmed down, but her delicate body remained soft, almost collapsing in Zhang Fan’s embrace, with an overflowing sense of warmth and softness, and a lingering fragrance.

”Could this be a scam?”

Suddenly, Zhang Fan shivered, whether it was on the high-speed train or the subway, such news was not uncommon, some men were just playing with their phones and got accused of secret filming.

If someone calls for trouble, wouldn’t he end up locked up for a decade or so!?

”I... I’m okay now.”

At this moment, a soft and tender voice came from his arms, pulling Zhang Fan’s thoughts back.

The girl straightened up, combed through her ruffled hair, and her pretty face showed a hint of awkwardness.

”I’m... I’m sorry... I scared you just now...”

”What... What’s going on with you?” Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.

”Old illness, some medicine will do.” The girl felt a bit uneasy: ”My name is Su Shiyu... I’m really sorry about earlier.”

As she spoke, Su Shiyu bowed to Zhang Fan; in this narrow space, she couldn’t fully extend herself, and when she bowed, she awkwardly bumped into him.

”Oh crap...”

”You... you okay...?”

”I... I’m fine...” Zhang Fan blushed, raised his hand and prepared to open the door.

”What’s your name? Let’s add each other on WeChat... I’m really sorry for earlier.” Su Shiyu quickly said.

”Huh?” Zhang Fan paused for a moment.

Is this considered flirting!? Since childhood, this was his first time being asked for WeChat by a beauty in a high-speed train restroom, feeling slightly odd!?

”My name is Zhang Fan.”

”Are you getting off at Gusu too?”

”Yeah, you too?”

”How coincidental, can I treat you to a meal sometime?”

As they spoke, the two of them opened the restroom door and stepped out.

At this moment, the high-speed train just arrived at the station, and the area by the restroom was crowded with people. Seeing Zhang Fan and Su Shiyu, a man and a woman, coming out of the same restroom, they instantly cast peculiar glances.

Thunk...

At this moment, the high-speed train’s door opened, yet no one got off immediately, curious gazes still lingered on Zhang Fan.

”Old Zhang, nice, in the time it took to go to the restroom you actually...”

From the crowd, Jiang Hu squeezed out, approached Zhang Fan, and revealed an ambiguous smile, his eyes seeming to say...

In the bleak Ba Mountains and Chu Waters, brother, you’re impressive, I respect that.

”Your smile has faded...” Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and hurriedly said, ”It’s not what you think...”

”The white dove in the sky won’t kiss the crow, just like a lying man has no mother... Old Zhang, you’re no fun this way, there are no outsiders here.” Jiang Hu righteously argued, but couldn’t help feeling a bit forlorn.

Others see beauties or legs, he sees either capturing demons or ghosts, both being Daoists, why such a big difference.

”Let’s get off the train, we’re here for serious business.”

At this time, Zhan Xinyue and Sui Chunsheng came over with luggage, looking at Zhang Fan with eyes filled with coldness and a bit of disdain.

”Wait... listen to my excu... explanation… Su...”

Zhang Fan turned around, wanting Su Shiyu to help explain, but beside him was empty, Su Shiyu had already gotten off the train, lost in the sea of people.

”Alright, it’s your personal virtue, no need to explain.” Sui Chunsheng gestured with his hand and walked past Zhang Fan with his luggage.

”Daoist friend, please exercise restraint.” Zhan Xinyue spoke softly and followed Sui Chunsheng.

”Old Zhang, don’t take it to heart, anyway it’s the company’s face that’s lost.” Jiang Hu patted Zhang Fan’s shoulder.

”You’re really good at comforting people.” Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and got off the train.

”Wait for me.”

Gusu City high-speed train station, the crowd was bustling.

”Master, that demon must have gotten off at the station.”

On the platform, Gu Jingqiu looked at the coming and going passengers, his brows almost forming the character ”Chuan”, unable to catch the demon on the train, now getting off the train was even more like finding a needle in a haystack.

”Forget it, let’s put that demon aside for now, since we are in Gusu City, let’s first visit the Observatory of Profound Mystery.” Hua Yixun said solemnly.

It’s been exactly twenty years since he last came to Gusu City.

The Observatory of Profound Mystery is Gusu City’s most famous Daoist temple, has had constant incense offerings since the Eastern Jin, if the demon really came to Gusu City, with the help of the temple’s experts, it would be difficult for the demon to escape.

...

Evening, Shantang Street.

In a secluded alley, a dim street light paved a way of illumination in the darkness.

Taking advantage of the hazy night, a graceful figure walked to a small courtyard, gently knocked on the door, and after two knocks, the door opened.

”Sister Shiyu, you’re finally here.”

The one who opened the door was a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, with twin ponytails, quickly welcoming Su Shiyu in.

”The Daoists from Lao Mountain are too troublesome, I almost couldn’t make it.” Su Shiyu recalled the encounter on the train earlier, feeling quite scared, all the while Zhang Fan’s figure emerged in her mind.

”What? You revealed your true form?” The little girl’s expression changed suddenly, couldn’t help but ask.

For demons, revealing their true form in public is a major taboo, life is more often than not unsustainable.

It’s an unwritten rule.

”That didn’t happen.” Su Shiyu shook her head, her beautiful eyes carrying a trace of doubt.

Logically, at that time her wild nature had kicked in, transformation was almost irreversible, but at the last moment, it reversed unexpectedly.
