The next day at noon.
Ye Qiu and Changmei Zhenren arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.
The two climbed the mountain along the stone steps, passing throngs of tourists, with scenery that was exceedingly beautiful.
Soon, they reached a particularly treacherous mountain path.
The cliffs on both sides were sheer, and the steep winding steps were embedded within, resembling a heavenly ladder from afar.
The stone steps numbered at least a thousand.
After Ye Qiu and Changmei Zhenren had walked halfway, Changmei Zhenren said, “You little rascal, I’m tired and need to rest for a bit.”
Ye Qiu smiled, “You’re a cultivator with profound cultivation, do you really need to rest?”
“Mind your own business.”
Changmei Zhenren glared at Ye Qiu, sat down by the roadside, then his eyes darted around like a thief’s, scanning everywhere.
Only then did Ye Qiu realise that the old fellow’s so-called rest was actually an excuse to ogle the tourists.
Especially when he spotted those young women dressed lightly and looking pretty, Changmei Zhenren’s eyes lit up instantly, like a hungry wolf spotting a lamb.
Ye Qiu scolded in exasperation, “You’re the head of a sect after all, sneaking peeks at women like this, have you no shame?”
“What’s the use of shame? You can’t eat it.” Changmei Zhenren suddenly pointed at the steps below and said, “Little rascal, look quickly, here comes a top-notch one.”
Ye Qiu looked down and saw a young woman in a short skirt, slowly ascending the mountain with the support of a bespectacled young man.
They appeared to be a couple.
The woman’s appearance and figure were quite good; by Ye Qiu’s standards, she could score an eight, and with her thin clothing revealing a cleavage and fair long legs, she was very eye-catching.
Changmei Zhenren sighed, “What a pity!”
“What do you mean, pity?” Ye Qiu asked.
Changmei Zhenren said wistfully, “A beauty has come up from the mountain, no more than twenty-odd years old, with fair skin, lovely looks, and long legs, but alas, she’s already someone else’s wife.”
Ye Qiu quickly glanced around and, seeing no tourists nearby, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Shameless!”
Ye Qiu felt like kicking Changmei Zhenren down; he’d never seen such an old reprobate.
Moreover, this old fellow was a Taoist.
If the ancestors of Longhu Mountain knew they had such a descendant, wouldn’t they be so furious they’d flip open their coffin lids and come out to strangle Changmei Zhenren?
“Little rascal, what right do you have to look down on me?”
Changmei Zhenren said, “You have numerous beauties around you, each one top-notch; this is the classic case of the full man not knowing the hunger of the starving one.”
“Besides, this poor Taoist is just looking and making a few remarks, what’s wrong with that?”
“As the Medical Saint, surely you know about that foreign doctors’ survey saying that men who look at pretty women for five seconds a day can extend their lifespan by one second.” New Bi Qu Ge
Changmei Zhenren might as well not have said it, for once he did, Ye Qiu’s anger flared even more.
“You believe such nonsense?”
Ye Qiu said, “If looking at beauties really extended lifespan, then the ancient emperors with their three thousand concubines, all of unparalleled beauty, looked at so many beauties, so why did they still die in the end?”
Changmei Zhenren smiled faintly and said, “As the saying goes, excess is as bad as deficiency.”
“Those ancient emperors not only looked a lot but also used a lot, overworking themselves, which led to early deaths.”
“This poor Taoist is different from them; I only engage the heart, not the kidneys, purely appreciating.”
Shameless!
Ye Qiu cursed inwardly.
Before long, the couple reached Changmei Zhenren.
Changmei Zhenren’s eyes were fixed on the woman, as if he wanted to embed them into her body.
The woman also noticed Changmei Zhenren staring at her and quickly covered her neckline with her hand.
Ye Qiu felt deeply embarrassed and whispered a reminder, “Old thing, she’s noticed you, can you stop looking?”
“What’s wrong with looking? Could she lose a piece of flesh if this poor Taoist glances a few times?”
Changmei Zhenren’s voice was not low, and the couple heard it.
The bespectacled young man was about to speak when the woman spoke first.
“You smelly Taoist, what are you looking at! Look again and watch out, this auntie will dig out your eyeballs.” The woman’s tone was aggressive, and as she spoke, she glared at Changmei Zhenren.
Changmei Zhenren smiled, “Miss, everyone loves beauty; you look so pretty, this poor Taoist glances at you a few times, you lose nothing, why get angry?”
“Moreover, this poor Taoist has a secret to tell you.”
“Of all the women in the world, few catch this poor Taoist’s eye, oh~”
Ye Qiu’s face turned green upon hearing this.
To say such words, truly the height of shamelessness!
The woman was so angry she laughed, snorting coldly, “Smelly Taoist, from what you say, I should feel honoured that you’re looking at me?”
“Let me tell you, this auntie doesn’t need it.”
“If your eyes wander again, watch out, I’ll beat you to death.”
At this point, the bespectacled young man beside the woman also cursed Changmei Zhenren, “Old Taoist, you dare to be disrespectful in your old age, careful I won’t respect the elderly either.”
As the young man spoke, he waved his fist in a threatening manner.
Changmei Zhenren wasn’t angry; he pointed at the woman with his horsetail whisk and asked the young man smilingly, “Young fellow, is she your girlfriend?”
“If not mine, then yours?” The young man put his arm around the woman’s waist and said, “In a few days, we’re getting married.”
“Oh?” Changmei Zhenren’s eyes flickered, and he said seriously, “You cannot marry this woman.”
“Why not?” The young man was puzzled.
Changmei Zhenren said, “This poor Taoist asks you, have you held hands?”
“Yes.”
“Have you kissed?”
“Of course.”
“Then have you slept together?”
As soon as Changmei Zhenren said this, the young man’s face reddened, and he cursed, “None of your damn business.”
“Indeed, it’s none of this poor Taoist’s business, but it concerns your lifelong happiness. It seems you haven’t slept together.” Changmei Zhenren looked at the woman again and said, “Miss, if this poor Taoist isn’t mistaken, you’ve been pregnant for at least a month, right?”
What?
The young man’s expression changed drastically.
“You’re talking nonsense!” The woman shouted sharply, pulling the young man’s hand and saying, “Let’s go!”
“Young fellow, heed this poor Taoist’s advice: this woman is not virtuous; marrying her means raising someone else’s child, with a green grassland above your head.”
After Changmei Zhenren finished, he stood up, lightly flicked his horsetail whisk, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an air of immortal grace, like a hidden expert.
“Miss, you’re a fine woman by nature, why deceive an honest man?”
Changmei Zhenren sighed, turned, and continued climbing.
The woman shouted angrily, “Smelly Taoist, stop spouting nonsense; if you ruin my marriage, I’ll settle the score with you another day. Do you dare leave your name?”
Changmei Zhenren looked back at the woman and declared loudly, “You want to know my name, do you?”
“Listen well.”
