Scumbag Chapter 112 The Enchanting Demon King is a Living Lei Feng (24)

"You really dislike her?" Lingzhu, the Buddhist disciple of Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, walked up to Mingting.

Since Mingting had lived in their Ten Thousand Buddha Sect for twenty years, Lingzhu Buddha knew very well that Mingting was the most easy-going phoenix.

Although he was mischievous and lively, he’s kind-hearted and always willing to help. His understanding of Buddhist teachings was profound, and Venerable Zhiyuan often remarked that the Phoenix possessed a Buddha-like nature.

For him to bully a little girl like this was completely out of character for Mingting.

"I don't know why, but I get annoyed when I see her." Mingting snorted, "She reeks of demonic aura."

If anyone else had heard this, they might have thought Mingting’s judgment was off.

After all, He Huan looked every bit the innocent, kind-hearted little girl… always smiling, her laughter warm and inviting.

She was also strikingly beautiful, with eyes like pools of spring water. She was clearly destined to grow into an exquisite fairy in a few years.

But Lingzhu was not an ordinary person. He looked at the problem more deeply.

"Is she a demon?" Lingzhu asked.

"Physically, she’s undeniably human. But she gives me a very uncomfortable feeling, like a demon, a demonic beast, with this unnatural allure..."

Mingting gave Lingzhu a shot of prevention in advance, "Right now, it’s not obvious. But in five years, just wait and see."

Hearing Mingting describe He Huan in such harsh terms, Lingzhu didn’t find it inappropriate.

Even if he couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason, the intuition of a divine beast wouldn’t be wrong. Moreover, the Phoenix was a supreme Yang-aligned divine beast, so its aversion must stem from sensing something dark and sinister.

Thus, Lingzhu took Mingting’s words to heart and decided to keep a closer eye on He Huan.

After that, Mingting never saw He Huan again. She had been hiding in the team of Tianji Tower, shadowing Wen Liangyu every day, becoming his little shadow.

When they returned to the Cultivation World, each group took their newly recruited disciples back to their respective sects, and He Huan also followed Wen Liangyu.

[Boss, aren’t we going to keep an eye on her?]

Fengtian had been eager to see the drama unfold.

‘No, there are still five years before her seal breaks. Let’s go to the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.’ Mingting and Lingzhu headed to the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect together.

For Mingting, visiting the five major sects was like returning home. Upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, he immediately buried himself in their scripture library.

In the original novel, almost everyone in the Cultivation World adored He Huan, especially younger, lower-level disciples.

Some Golden Core cultivators were also smitten, and even the Elders from smaller sects became infatuated with the enchanting He Huan

Aside from a few Nascent Soul cultivators and those with exceptionally strong wills, the only ones immune to her charm were the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect.

‘Does the Buddhist scripture have a suppressing effect on He Huan’s charm?’

‘Or could they help people resist this unnatural charm?’

Mingting wanted to find out the answer.

Venerable Zhiyuan also heard Lingzhu talk about Mingting's intuition about He Huan.

If the Phoenix found someone repulsive, that person was definitely not aligned with righteousness. So, he began paying attention to this new disciple of Tianji Tower.

After observing, Zhiyuan discovered something startling.

Less than three months after this female disciple entered the Tianji Tower, she won unanimous praise from from the Elders and outer disciples.

Even the master of the Tianji Tower, Wen Jin, spoke highly of her. The very picky old Ancestor, Wen An, also praised He Huan multiple times.

Wen Liangyu had also become He Huan’s biggest backer in Tianji Tower. He not only taught her personally, but also protected her from time to time.

Some people might naturally have high affinity and good interpersonal skills… that couldn’t be denied.

But for He Huan to make people of different ages and temperaments all like her was downright suspicious.

However, she was undeniably human.

So, Zhiyuan didn’t take any drastic actions. Instead, while continuing to monitor her, he began to look through ancient texts, searching for similar cases.

He Huan stayed at Tianji Tower for five years. During this time, she used her mind reading ability to win everyone’s affection.

As He Huan grew older and blossomed into a delicate and charming beauty, many people began vying for her attention, which both pleased and troubled her.

After seeing Mingting’s appearance, she would unconsciously compare others to him, only to find that no one could measure up to that vicious Phoenix.

He Huan didn’t understand why she couldn’t forget Mingting.

‘It must be because I needed the ancient parasol wood…’ She comforted herself.

Since that last dream, the couple never appeared in her dreams again, though occasionally, a voice would remind her not to forget her mission.

In the past few years, He Huan had tried to gather information about Mingting, but the people of Tianji Tower seemed to despise the Phoenix very much, and no one paid attention to him.

Waiting like this had begun to wear on her patience.

Today is He Huan's birthday, and Wen Liangyu had specially made time to take her to Mianhua City, which is not far from Tianji Tower, to celebrate her birthday.

"The kapok flowers of Mianhua City are very famous. Whenever they are in full bloom, the city turns fiery red, becoming a breathtaking sight." Wen Liangyu walked beside He Huan and introduced the city to her.

In the past five years, He Huan had focused solely on cultivation at Tianji Tower and hadn’t had the chance to explore the Cultivation World.

This time, she had used her birthday as an excuse to coquettishly, so Wen Liangyu simply arranged a three-day and two-night trip for just the two of them.

Watching the beautiful girl beside him curiously taking in the surroundings, oblivious to the kapok flower that had fallen into her hair, Wen Liangyu gently plucked it out and tucked it into her thick, dark locks.

“Lovely! The flower is pretty, but the person is even prettier!"

Hearing Wen Liangyu’s praise, He Huan smiled sweetly.

“Senior Brother, since we sneaked out like this, won’t we get scolded when we go back?!"

Tianji Tower’s rules forbade disciples from leaving the mountain before reaching Foundation Establishment stage. Wen Liangyu was already bending the rules, as He Huan was only a Qi Refining disciple.

“Don’t worry. Master dotes on you so much, so he won't say anything about us."
