“Master, I heard that you were adopted too, right?” Sc.r.a.pped Car asked.
“Yes.”
“Master, you are so famous now. Why don’t you look for them? Just like me, I found my creator. You should be able to do it too,” said the car.
Fangzheng’s heart palpitated when he heard that. With his present influence, he could indeed direct a ma.s.sive amount of power to help him find his parents!
But did he really want to look for them?
Fangzheng hesitated because he did not know how to face his parents.
Should he hate them?
Or should he forgive them?
This was a difficult choice…
“What are you worried about?” Sc.r.a.pped Car asked.
Fangzheng said, “This Penniless Monk doesn’t know how to face them either… This Penniless Monk wishes for them, but they are unfamiliar. There’s antic.i.p.ation and fear. If we regret we didn’t meet sooner, there’s no real regret. But if meeting is worse than meeting, why should we meet?”
Sc.r.a.pped Car said, “You can look at them from afar like me…”
Fangzheng was tempted…
After returning to One Finger Monastery, Fangzheng didn’t chat with his disciples in the backyard like he usually did. Instead, he sat alone in the Frost Bamboo forest and closed his eyes in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
Fangzheng did not allow anyone to enter the Frost Bamboo forest. He sat there alone, pondering… To meet or not to meet them.
“What are you thinking about?” A female voice suddenly sounded.
Fangzheng’s heart palpitated as he suddenly opened his eyes. He saw a girl in red sitting not far away as she looked at Fangzheng with a smile.
“Another dream?” Fangzheng muttered to himself, as though he was asking.
“Dream? The ancients say that you dream what’s on your mind in the day. If you dream of me, does that mean you are… thinking of me?” The girl smiled happily.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Patron, This Penniless Monk is only a monk. Why are you pestering This Penniless Monk?”
The girl clapped her hands and said, “I really have a reason to pester you. You are the only person who made me open my eyes… Someone said that the person who makes me open my eyes must be my husband! Monk, marry me!”
Fangzheng was taken aback. Although he had always yearned to renounce asceticism and lead a normal life—marrying an obedient wife, giving birth to two children, living a happy life, enjoying the feeling of having a family, and making up for his regrets in life—
he had never thought that one day, a beautiful fairy-like woman would suddenly run over and say to him, “Please screw me!”
Fangzheng’s mind was a little lacking as his fair face turned into a braised egg once again.
The girl smiled happily as she got up and came in front of Fangzheng. She bent down and lowered her head. Their eyes met.
The girl smiled sweetly and said, “Do you really not remember me?”
Fangzheng asked in puzzlement, “Should I… remember you?”
“What do you think?” The girl leaned over.
Fangzheng subconsciously retreated.
However, the girl moved extremely fast. Fangzheng could not dodge in time. Just as the two were about to touch each other…
Ah!
Fangzheng exclaimed as he suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him was Frost Bamboo dancing in the wind, but the beautiful girl in red was gone.
“Who is she?” Fangzheng was puzzled. This was not the first time he had met the girl, but every time it was a dream. The moment he woke up, they were separated. He did not know if it was a dream.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Upon hearing Fangzheng’s shout, Monkey immediately ran in.
Fangzheng shook his head. “It’s fine. You can leave.”
Monkey acknowledged and said, “Master, Patron Li Xuan came just now. He said that the various countries have paid for the research and development fees. These fees not only supplement the investment the country previously put in, but they have also made dozens of times more… The country has decided to use this money to continue developing other drugs and to support the production of local medicine. He wants to ask if you agree?”
Fangzheng said, “The medicinal effects cannot be discounted. The price will remain the same. If there are no illnesses left in the world, it would be meritorious. This Penniless Monk naturally agrees.”
Monkey responded and left.
“System, did you see the girl just now?”
“Ding! What do you want to ask?” asked the System.
“Who is she? Why did she appear in This Penniless Monk’s dream?”
The System said, “I don’t know what you’re dreaming about, nor do I know what you dreamed of. However, what the heart thinks is what you get. Are you undergoing p.u.b.erty?”
Fangzheng was rendered speechless.
p.u.b.erty?
Although he was a hot-blooded young man, he didn’t have frequent wet dreams, alright?
Besides, even if it was a dream, the person in the dream should be someone who existed in his memory. How could it be a stranger? Furthermore, she was very lively. Whether it was her behavior or voice, they were all unfamiliar.
“Have I really seen her before?” Fang Zheng was puzzled.
It was night time. After dinner, Fangzheng continued sitting cross-legged and pondering over his matters…
In the haze…
“Hey!”
Fangzheng’s shoulder was patted.
Fangzheng sighed. He knew that he was dreaming again!
Fangzheng did not turn his head as he said indifferently, “Patron, who are you? Why are you pestering This Penniless Monk?”
“Who’s pestering you? This is what my father said. The first person I see when I open my eyes must marry me! If you don’t marry me, who will marry me? This is the rule!” The girl in red walked in front of Fangzheng.
Fangzheng was rendered speechless.
Fangzheng asked, “Who’s your father? This Penniless Monk can speak to him.”
The girl in red threw up her hands and said, “I don’t know where he went either. It’s been too long since there was any news from him. Fangzheng, do you dislike me that much?”
Fangzheng said with a wry smile, “This Penniless Monk has his difficulties and can’t renounce asceticism. Patron, if you pester This Penniless Monk, you might end up pestering the wrong person.”
“You have your difficulties, but I have my difficulties too… Forget it, let’s not talk about the difficulties. Monk, what do you like to eat?” asked the girl in red.
Fangzheng realized that the girl’s mind was very active. She basically changed a topic every two or three sentences…
When Fangzheng ignored her, she sat by the side and talked. As she spoke, she gestured with her hands. She spoke with great enthusiasm.
At first, Fangzheng ignored her, but later Fangzheng realized that he could not wake up even if he ignored her…
Besides, he wanted to renounce asceticism no matter what. It was only a matter of time… Besides, this was a dream. He wouldn’t molest a girl in his dreams. It was just a chat, so it was no big deal, right?
Hence, Fangzheng said, “Didn’t you ask me what I like to eat previously?”
“Yeah, what do you like to eat?” the girl in red asked.
Fangzheng said, “To be honest, I like red braised pork.”
“Red braised pork? Aren’t you a monk? Haha… You are indeed not a real monk!” The girl laughed.
Fangzheng said, “Actually, I’ve never eaten red braised pork before. I’ve been a monk since I was young, so I have no idea what meat tastes like. It’s just that when I was young, when I was playing at the foot of the mountain, I could smell the village chief’s house cooking red braised meat. That smell… was really fragrant.”
Thinking of the braised pork, Fangzheng could not help but drool.
“Wow… Do you want to try it?” the girl suddenly asked.
