Chapter 260 Paying for parking? Are you crazy?
The group chat instantly became lively, with members expressing their desire to join in the fun.
Meng Qi: Okay, it's settled then.
[Meng Qi: @Maoshan Lin Jiu, Uncle Jiu, when is it convenient for you? We can leave anytime.]
Not long ago, when Xiao Meng attained enlightenment, he successfully severed the causal link between himself and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, thus breaking free from the control of the Demon Buddha and completely shedding his status as a pawn.
With good news on his mind, he's been very active in the group lately, and he's even dared to travel to other worlds.
Of course, Meng Qi's opinion is not important; the real decision-makers are the three big shots behind him. If they are unwilling to cover up his whereabouts, then Meng Qi will have to watch helplessly this time.
Judging from his behavior, the other party seems to have agreed, which can be considered a positive change after Meng Qi joined the All-Heavens Chat Group.
He doesn't have to be constantly pressured to move forward, so he can relax a bit.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: I'm available anytime. Just let me know when you all have a time to schedule.]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: However, I must remind you all that although this world is not of a high overall level, there are many monsters and ghosts. You should still be careful.]
Meng Qi: Don't worry, Uncle Jiu.
[Meng Qi: We're a true immortal who has attained the Dharma Body, how could we be bullied by a bunch of little demons?]
[Meng Qi: And even if things go wrong, we still have Brother Lin. Even if that Black Mountain Demon himself comes, he'll have to obediently perform a tap dance for us!]
Gu Xun'er: ...
Han Li: ...
[Ancient One: ...]
[Lin Yuan: Xiao Meng, I must say, you have really unusual tastes.]
[Ye Fan: Indeed, it's one thing for female ghosts to dance, but you're not even sparing the Black Mountain Demon?]
Meng Qi: What's wrong with that?
[Meng Qi: If Transformers dancing can attract so many people, then a dancing Black Mountain must be even more attractive!]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Cough cough...]
Uncle Nine couldn't stand their conversation any longer and had to step in to interrupt.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Since all of you fellow Daoists are interested, how about we set the date for three days from now?]
Meng Qi: I'm fine!
Ye Fan: I'm fine with it too.
[Han Li: I can.]
……
The group chat was buzzing with excitement as everyone discussed the details of the operation three days from now.
Meng Qi was the most active person in the group, and he would occasionally say something that made people both laugh and cry.
Moreover, he still felt uncomfortable with voice communication, so he dragged Ye Fan to the virtual tea room to chat.
"Oh, right, Ye Fan, I forgot to ask," Meng Qi suddenly said, "Did you pay the parking fee when you went back?"
Ye Fan was stunned: "What parking fee?"
"Your Mercedes has been parked at the foot of Mount Tai for so many years, aren't you going to pay the parking fees for that parking lot?"
Ye Fan: "..."
The group chat was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
[Yan Ling Ji: Pfft—Parking fee? Meng Qi, what's wrong with your brain? How could you even think of something like this?]
[Gu Xun'er: Brother Meng Qi's focus is indeed quite unique.]
Ye Fan stared at the screen speechlessly, remaining silent for a long while before replying, "How do you think the official characterization of what happened between us back then is?"
Meng Qi was taken aback: "Is that even a question? It's definitely an earthquake plus a mirage!"
Everyone knows the nature of the authorities; in order to maintain stability, even if they know that the Nine Dragons Coffin actually exists, they would never reveal it.
"So what role do you think I played in this accident?"
Guided by Ye Fan's words, Xiao Meng finally realized what was happening.
"Victim...?"
"So now you know why I don't have to pay for parking?"
Ye Fan's tone was calm, but it conveyed a sense of "you know what I mean".
Meng Qi silently walked to the side, feeling that he had disgraced the Three Pure Ones.
You couldn't even figure out such a simple question, and you stupidly went to ask people if they had paid their parking fees.
It's obvious—after Ye Fan's death, once the authorities identify them, they will definitely disassemble and inspect their car, and only reassemble it after finding no problems.
Afterwards, inform their families that the car was completely damaged by aftershocks, or ask them to drive the car back.
In any case, the car is definitely not in the Taishan parking lot!
[Ye Fan: And even if the car is still there, I won't pay the parking fee.]
[Ye Fan: According to the official statement, I am an earthquake victim; my car was damaged by the earthquake. Why should I pay for it?]
Meng Qi: What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
[Lin Yuan: Xiao Meng, you're a tough guy, can you stop being so cute?]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Fellow Daoist Meng Qi, this is just your concern causing you confusion; it's understandable, very understandable.]
Uncle Nine stepped in to smooth things over, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
……
The conversation quickly returned to normal.
[Meng Qi: Uncle Jiu, how strong is that Tree Demon Granny? Would it be too much of a fuss if so many of us went?]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: The Tree Demon Granny's strength is roughly equivalent to... well, in terms you can understand, probably the peak of the Golden Core stage?]
[Meng Qi: Only at the peak of the Golden Core stage? Isn't that something that can be solved with a single talisman?]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Its strength isn't actually that great, but its roots are spread throughout the entire underground of Lanruo Temple, making it difficult to eradicate completely.]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: And there's also the Black Mountain Demon, a true ghost king of the underworld, whose strength far surpasses that of the Tree Demon Granny.]
[Ye Fan: What is the approximate level of the Black Mountain Demon's strength?]
Uncle Nine pondered for a moment.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This humble Taoist doesn't know either, but based on information gathered from the nearby cultivators, it should be the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.]
[Meng Qi: Nascent Soul stage? That's not that strong.]
[Ye Fan: Of course, it's not strong for you, but for cultivators in this world, the Nascent Soul stage is already top-tier.]
[Ye Fan: Moreover, the Black Mountain Demon occupies the City of the Wrongfully Dead and is blessed with the fortune of the Underworld, so his true strength may be greater than it appears.]
[Han Li: Actually, you don't need to think so much. Just crush them. If it gets too difficult, I'll take care of it.]
[Lin Yuan: Oh, our Heavenly Venerable Han is getting all worked up. This time he's actually thinking of protecting everyone?]
[Gu Xun'er: Indeed, it feels a bit off when Brother Han says that; it's not like you at all!]
In the chaotic starry sea, Han Li's lips twitched when he saw the message in the group. He had reached the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't he be a little more confident?
[Han Li:]
Lin Yuan: Alright, stop arguing.
Lin Yuan stepped forward to stop the increasingly distorted topic.
[Lin Yuan: Uncle Jiu, is it convenient for you there? Won't it cause a commotion if so many of us go over?]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Fellow Daoist Tianyun, rest assured, I have found a secluded place near Jinhua City, large enough to accommodate all of you.]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Moreover, I have already inquired and found that Lanruo Temple is rarely visited, and even if there is some commotion, it won't disturb many people.]
Lin Yuan: That's good.
[Lin Yuan: Also, I'd like to ask, is Yan Chixia currently living in Lanruo Temple?]
Uncle Nine shook his head.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Not yet. I have been inquiring in Jinhua City these past few days, but I have not heard of any cultivator named Yan Chixia.]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: However, I have heard of the name Zhi Qiu Yi Ye. He is said to be a highly skilled disciple of the Kunlun Sect, and has only recently descended the mountain for training.]
[Meng Qi: Zhi Qiu Yi Ye? Isn't that a character from A Chinese Ghost Story 2?]
[Meng Qi: It seems the plot of this world isn't entirely based on A Chinese Ghost Story 1; other elements have been mixed in.]
Ye Fan: It doesn't matter. We're going to slay demons and monsters anyway, so one more or one less won't make a difference.
[Ye Fan: But has Ning Caichen shown up?]
[Maoshan Linjiu: Not yet.]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: I have been patrolling the area these past few days and have not found any scholar-like figures loitering near Lanruo Temple.]
[Meng Qi: What about Nie Xiaoqian? Are there any female ghosts named Nie Xiaoqian?]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This humble Taoist has not yet investigated further and is unsure if any of the female ghosts are named Nie Xiaoqian.]
[Gu Xun'er: Should we wait for Ning Caichen to appear before making a move? After all, he's the protagonist; he might have special luck on him.]
Lin Yuan: No need.
Lin Yuan rejected the proposal outright.
[Lin Yuan: The protagonist's luck is something that can be useful in some ways, and useless in others.]
[Lin Yuan: With our current strength, we can just push through directly and avoid any unnecessary complications.]
Ye Fan: Brother Lin is right.
[Ye Fan: Moreover, Ning Caichen's appearance would only cause trouble. He's a scholar who can't even kill a chicken; we'd have to divide our attention to protect him.]
Han Li: I second that.
[Yan Ling Ji: That's what I think too!]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Since that's the case, then let's gather in Jinhua City three days from now, fellow Daoists, and together we'll raze Lanruo Temple to the ground!]
Meng Qi: Okay! It's settled then!
[Meng Qi: By the way, Uncle Jiu, would you be interested in practicing the Five Thunder Orthodox Technique? Before receiving the Taiqing inheritance, Senior Brother Zhang asked me to help him, saying he wanted to recommend the Longhu Mountain techniques to the heroes of all realms if he had the chance.]
The group chat fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.
Ye Fan: ...
Han Li: ...
Gu Xun'er: ...
Uncle Nine was also stunned.
[Lin Jiu of Maoshan: Fellow Daoist Meng Qi, what makes you say that? That's a martial art from Longhu Mountain. I'm a disciple of Maoshan; it's probably not appropriate for me to practice it.]
[Meng Qi: I was just thinking about the upcoming battle with the Tree Demon Granny, and the Five Thunder Orthodox Method is incredibly effective against evil spirits!]
However, at this moment, Han Li's words caused the atmosphere to derail once again.
[Han Li: I remember that the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of Longhu Mountain is divided into Yin and Yang types. Uncle Jiu should be practicing the Yang Five Thunder Method, which requires maintaining a virginity, right?]
The group chat fell silent again.
Uncle Nine's face instantly turned bright red, and his lips trembled for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Ye Fan: Fellow Daoist Han, your question... is too presumptuous.
[Han Li: I was merely curious and had no intention of offending you.]
[Han Li: After all, Uncle Nine has experienced many cycles of reincarnation, what if...]
[Yan Lingji: Pfft—Han Li, stop talking! Uncle Nine's face is all red!]
Uncle Jiu was filled with shame and indignation.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This humble Taoist...this humble Taoist is still a virgin!]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This humble Taoist has lived a righteous life and has never done anything against morality!]
[Meng Qi: What about Sugarcane Girl?]
Ye Fan: Meng Qi! Shut up!
Meng Qi: Uh…
Meng Qi realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly shut up.
But the group chat had already exploded.
[Gu Xun'er: Who is Zhe Gu?]
[Yan Ling Ji: Sounds like a woman?]
[My dearest sister: Could it be that Uncle Nine and that Sugar Cane Girl...?]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Enough!]
Uncle Jiu was filled with shame and indignation.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: That happened in another timeline! It has nothing to do with me!]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Moreover... Moreover...]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This humble Taoist priest has never had anything happen between me and Zhe Gu!]
Ye Fan: Ninth Uncle, we know that has nothing to do with you.
Ye Fan: Meng Qi is just speaking without thinking, don't take it to heart.
[Meng Qi: Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Jiu, I was wrong! I just said it casually! Don't be angry!]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Hmph!]
At this moment, Han Li spoke again.
[Han Li: Speaking of which, since Ninth Uncle is still a virgin, he should be able to practice Yang Five Thunder Techniques, right?]
[Ye Fan: Han Li! Shut up too!]
Han Li: Okay...
[Yan Ling Ji: Pfft—I'm dying of laughter!]
[Yan Lingji: Ninth Uncle, don't worry, we all know you're a gentleman!]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: ...]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Thank you for your understanding, Miss Yan Lingji.]
Uncle Nine's tone carried a hint of helplessness, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuan: Alright, stop fooling around.
Lin Yuan stepped forward again.
[Lin Yuan: Ninth Uncle, Meng Qi and the others meant no harm, don't take it to heart.]
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This humble Taoist understands.]
Lin Yuan: It's settled then. We'll meet in three days outside Jinhua City.
[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Great!]
Ye Fan: Okay!
Meng Qi: Okay!
