CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 123 WHITE IMMORTAL AUNTIE, LADY XU_3

Xuan Yu’s eyes widened, staring at the yellow talisman on its forehead.

"Close your eyes, I can carry you while walking, Xuan Yu Immortal Family."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu showed a contemplative expression, but before it could respond, it felt its body lighten as a pair of large hands lifted it by the waist.

The shawl’s texture was dense and smooth to the touch. Xuan Yu only struggled a little before it decided to stop moving.

It looked down at Xu Qing’s wide sleeve draped gently over its body.

The red cuff was embroidered with phoenixes, the stitches so fine and dense, sewn onto luxurious silk. When it touched its body, it felt as smooth as velvet, making it want to lower its head and rub against it.

Xu Qing seemed to understand its thoughts and gently coaxed it twice with a wave of his sleeve.

Seeing the cat in his arms close its eyes and quietly lie in the crook of his arm, Xu Qing’s lips involuntarily curved into a smile.

This Mountain-Driving Technique is truly remarkable!

After using the Bird’s Eye Technique to ascertain the location of the Child-Giving Temple, Xu Qing, carrying the cat, walked over unhurriedly.

Many villagers in the mountains keep dogs, and Huangping Village was no exception.

However, today, Huangping Village was unusually quiet.

As Xu Qing passed by, the usually alert guard dogs acted as though they had taken mute medicine, their mouths tightly shut, afraid to make any noise.

In the past, Xu Qing would have had to use the Mute Dog Spell from the Thirty-Six Corpse-Driving Spells to achieve this effect, but now, with the incense protection from the Cat Immortal Hall, ordinary animals dared not easily offend.

Feeling the increasing flow of incense, Xu Qing pondered thoughtfully.

Earlier in the day, he had sent the Galloping Immortal Disciples to escort villagers back to their homes. Thinking about it now, it seemed that those people had indeed returned home, resulting in this sudden convergence of incense.

Xuan Yu also sensed this and opened its eyes, about to speak, but realized they had already arrived at the Child-Giving Temple.

Xu Qing used his Qi Observation Skill, seeing various strands of Gale Qi intertwining above the temple. Among them, two streams of Gale Qi were the strongest—one was white incense Qi, and the other was dark purple grievance Qi.

This dark purple grievance Qi was different from the Fierce General’s.

The Fierce General’s Qi was dark red blood Qi, while this purple Qi...

Purple represents infants—these were infant grievances.

Knocking on the temple door, an old nun’s voice sounded from within.

"The night is deep; I wonder which esteemed guest visits? If you’re here to offer incense, please come back tomorrow."

Xu Qing was about to speak but then remembered he was a man.

A grown man visiting a nunnery in the middle of the night was somewhat improper.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and then patted the cat in his arms.

Xuan Yu immediately understood, slightly parting its lips to speak in a clear, childlike voice.

"I am here to offer incense, but I was delayed on the way, and now it’s late. Please open the temple door and allow me to stay for the night..."

There was a moment of silence inside the temple before the sounds of bolts being drawn and the door opening were heard.

Xu Qing and Xuan Yu watched the door intently, hearing a creak as it opened just enough for one person. A shiny bald head peeked out.

At night, vision is poor. The old nun peered cautiously, and upon seeing Xu Qing in a red wedding dress, she opened the door a bit more.

"Madam, please come in."

Xu Qing nodded slightly and, without saying a word, stepped into the temple with a stern face.

"Is Madam here to seek a child?" The old nun led the way, asking as she walked.

"Yes." Xu Qing responded sparingly.

"Is Madam planning to offer incense tonight or stay overnight and worship tomorrow?"

"I’ll offer incense tonight. Please take me to the main hall, nun."

Hearing this, the old nun looked at Xu Qing in surprise. Why had this lady’s voice suddenly become so deep?
