Lin Hai found a secluded spot and changed back into his own clothes.
“Hahaha, that idiot Zhao Kun actually believed he was Zhu Bajie.”
“Huh?” He glanced over and saw that Taotao was still standing there obediently. Lin Hai couldn’t help but sigh—it seemed Taotao genuinely cared about Hou Xianpin.
He walked over, and with a swoosh, he removed the Soul-Binding Chain.
“You—you’re actually human?” Taotao’s mouth dropped wide open.
“Alright, don’t worry about whether I’m human or not. Right now, we need to go save Hou Xianpin.” Lin Hai hailed a taxi and headed straight to the hospital.
“Master…” Du Chun had been waiting at the hospital the whole time.
“Let’s go to your office.” Lin Hai sat down in Du Chun’s office, while Taotao went straight to Hou Xianpin’s hospital room.
Lin Hai opened WeChat, found Iron Crutch Li, and sent him Zhao Kun’s birth date and time.
Little Confused Immortal: How do I break his Peach Blossom Orientation?
Iron Crutch Li: You found it that quickly? (Followed by a row of shocked emojis)
Damn it! Lin Hai was too exhausted to even complain about Iron Crutch Li’s shocked emojis anymore.
Little Confused Immortal: Just tell me already.
Iron Crutch Li: Let me do some calculations.
After a moment.
Iron Crutch Li: (A row of shocked emojis)
Lin Hai was about to lose his mind. What the hell are you shocked about all day long?
Little Confused Immortal: Spit it out!
Iron Crutch Li: Immortal, this guy’s Peach Blossom Orientation is incredibly unlucky. And if I’m not mistaken, the master of the peach blossom calamity is already dead. The reason is that his orientation is so bizarre—after the peach blossom chose its calamity master, it withered from shame just because he touched it.
Pfft!
Good grief. Even the peach blossom was ashamed to death. Lin Hai was genuinely curious about just how bizarre Zhao Kun’s Peach Blossom Orientation really was.
Little Confused Immortal: Forget all that for now. Just tell me how to break it.
Iron Crutch Li: That’s not difficult. All you need is a pot of cactus. Place it right at his Peach Blossom Orientation. Cacti are covered in thorns, so the peach blossom won’t be able to return to its position, and the calamity will break on its own.
Lin Hai read this and breathed a sigh of relief. So it was that simple.
Iron Crutch Li: I’ll send you his Peach Blossom Orientation coordinates. Since you provided the birth details, you have to place it yourself. Don’t forget!
After saying that, Iron Crutch Li sent Lin Hai a set of coordinates.
Lin Hai left the hospital, bought a pot of cactus first, then followed the coordinates Iron Crutch Li had sent him.
The closer he got to the location, the stronger a foul stench became.
“Damn, why does it smell so bad? It’s like a bathroom.” No sooner had Lin Hai muttered this than he looked up.
“Holy crap, a public restroom!”
Oh, come on. Lin Hai was so frustrated.
No wonder Iron Crutch Li said Zhao Kun’s Peach Blossom Orientation was extremely unlucky. How could it not be? It was literally in a restroom.
Pinching his nose, Lin Hai walked inside. Just as he was about to reach the coordinates, he was completely dumbfounded.
“Damn it, it’s the women’s restroom!”
Lin Hai was stunned.
This was way too ridiculous. How was he, a guy, supposed to go in there?
Lin Hai stood frozen at the entrance of the women’s restroom.
Women going in and out all gave him weird looks as he stood there holding a pot of cactus. Lin Hai felt incredibly uncomfortable all over.
“Just waiting, just waiting for someone,” Lin Hai said with an awkward smile.
Damn it, this wasn’t working.
Lin Hai thought for a moment, and then a lightbulb went off in his head. Got it.
Next to the restroom was a small merchandise market. Lin Hai went inside and found a store that sold barber supplies.
“Give me a wig.”
After buying the wig, Lin Hai found a quiet spot, focused his mind, and vanished.
“Xian’er welcomes Master.”
“Alright, Xian’er, we’re short on time, so I won’t waste words…” Lin Hai started taking off his clothes as soon as he entered.
Xian’er was startled, then her face turned bright red.
She silently turned around, and the rustling sound of clothes being removed came from behind her.
“Go get me a—” Lin Hai looked up and saw Xian’er standing in front of him, undressed as bare as a little lamb.
“Master, this is Xian’er’s first time. Please be gentle with me…”
Lin Hai swallowed hard. This little temptress.
Seeing this, Xian’er quickly lowered her head, her face growing even redder with embarrassment.
“Oh, for heaven’s sake!” Lin Hai held his forehead, speechless. That’s not what I meant, okay?
To say Lin Hai had no thoughts at the sight of such beauty would be a lie, but the key point was that there was someone outside whose life needed saving.
Since Xian’er was already undressed, it saved him the trouble of asking her to get another set of clothes.
Forcing himself to abandon the idea of staying and having some fun with Xian’er, Lin Hai picked up the clothes she had taken off and put them on himself.
“Master, you—”
“Mmm, they smell nice. I’ll explain later.” Lin Hai smelled the clothes, then with a flicker, he vanished.
Xian’er stood there stunned. Realizing that Lin Hai had no such intention, she was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole in the ground.
Dressed in Xian’er’s miniature ancient-style female outfit, wearing a wig, Lin Hai swayed his hips as he made his way to the entrance of the women’s restroom.
His heart was pounding like crazy.
Damn it, he had never done anything like this in his life. He really hoped no one would see through him.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Hai forced himself to stay calm and walked inside.
His strange outfit immediately drew the attention of the women waiting outside the stalls for their turn.
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before?” Lin Hai struck a pose and spoke in a feminine voice.
That comment only made things worse. The women crowded around him.
“Girl, where did you buy that retro outfit? It’s so pretty.”
“Yeah, the fabric is nice too, and the style is so unique. It looks really special on you.”
“Whoa, look all you want, but don’t start touching me, okay?” Lin Hai dodged the women’s grasps while placing the cactus on the restroom windowsill.
“Phew…” Lin Hai let out a long breath. Finally done.
“Oh my, girl, your hairstyle is lovely too. Where did you get it done?” A woman reached for Lin Hai’s wig.
“Hey, a man’s head and a woman’s waist—you’re not supposed to touch those!” Lin Hai quickly sidestepped.
But then, the wig slipped off his head, revealing his true face.
Oh crap, this is bad! Lin Hai thought to himself.
“Hi, how are you all doing?” Lin Hai waved awkwardly.
The women were completely stunned.
Then, one by one, their eyes lit up with wild excitement.
“Catch the pervert! Catch the guy dressed as a woman sneaking into the ladies’ restroom to peep!”
The crowd of women surged forward, pouncing on Lin Hai.
After barely managing to escape, Lin Hai looked down at his clothes, now torn to shreds, and smiled bitterly.
Oh man, women were not to be messed with.
Lin Hai could only enter the sacred realm once a day, so he hailed a taxi to head back to the villa and change.
Luckily, his parents and the others hadn’t returned yet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to explain his outfit.
“Huh? You’ve seen the error of your ways?” Lin Hai returned to the villa and noticed that Chu Lin’er wasn’t playing Gomoku.
Chu Lin’er’s face was cold as ice as she stared at Lin Hai.
“You’ve caused a huge disaster, and you don’t even know it, do you?”
“A huge disaster? How huge?” Lin Hai looked completely unconcerned.
“Hmph, how huge? You know perfectly well. The underworld has already sent someone to arrest you.”
“Let them come. With Princess Lin’er here, who do I have to fear?” Lin Hai winked at Chu Lin’er.
“Hmph, you think I’ll help you? Don’t flatter yourself!” Chu Lin’er wrinkled her little nose at Lin Hai.
“Come on, Princess Lin’er, we’re roommates after all. You’ve got to save me in a critical moment!” Lin Hai exaggeratedly pleaded.
“Save you? Is saving you more important than playing Gomoku?” With that, Chu Lin’er turned and drifted away.
Damn, that comparison was just too much! Lin Hai flipped her off.
He didn’t take Chu Lin’er’s words seriously. So what if he hadn’t handed Taotao over to the underworld on time? It wasn’t like Taotao had run away. How serious could the consequences be?
Just then, a gust of eerie wind blew, and a tall, dark-attired Black Impermanence suddenly appeared before Lin Hai.
“It’s you!” Lin Hai was startled.
