Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

”Jiu Si, you’re awake!”

As soon as he opened his eyes, Chen Jie saw Zhao Ya looking at him with a concerned gaze.

”I’m fine.”

Chen Jie shook his head, looked around, and then said, ”I forcibly consumed the Dao Fruit. Although I borrowed the power of the Dao Fruit to defeat the Demon Slayer Monk, I couldn’t control its power.”

Zhao Ya was surprised upon hearing this and said, ”Forcibly consuming the Dao Fruit? This fruit should not be taken casually. My father said it requires a cultivation technique to dissolve and resolve it. Taking it like this, there’s a good chance you won’t be able to absorb the Dao Fruit Power.”

Chen Jie replied, ”The Demon Slayer Monk was entering demon mode just now; I had no choice but to take this desperate measure.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya fell silent and then looked at Chen Jie, saying, ”Now what should we do?”

At this time, Chen Jie took out a scripture from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Ya, saying, ”These are things to talk about later. First, help me check what this scripture says!”

Chen Jie handed the scripture, obtained from the Inner Treasury eunuch, to Zhao Ya.

The scripture was entirely in Mulan Language, and Chen Jie couldn’t recognize a single word. But for Zhao Ya, it was easy, as Mulan Language was her mother tongue.

”Didala Dula~”

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya, confused, huh?

With a blank look, Zhao Ya explained, ”Ancient Lan Wisdom Scripture!”

Chen Jie’s eyes lit up, ”Ancient Lan Wisdom Scripture, really?”

Zhao Ya said, ”Yes, yes, is this scripture so important?”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Haha, it’s not just important; the method I mentioned to solve the Dao Fruit problem is in this scripture. Quickly, translate the content for me.”

Chen Jie was impatient, and Zhao Ya, hearing this, said, ”Alright.”

Zhao Ya was very happy to be able to help Chen Jie and agreed to his request with enthusiasm.

”Give me an hour.”

Zhao Ya said, and Chen Jie replied, ”Thank you for your hard work, Yaya.”

Zhao Ya said, ”No need for such words between us.”

Saying this, Zhao Ya took the scripture, found a quiet place, and began to read it. Seeing Zhao Ya deciphering the Quran, Chen Jie was quite relieved.

After all, Zhao Ya had been knowledgeable and well-read since childhood, having read countless books and being versed in classics from ancient and modern times, in two languages.

Therefore, translating the Quran was not a problem for her.

Zhao Ya went off to the side to translate the scripture, and at this moment, Chen Jie looked at the two little Taoists and the old Taoist who didn’t dare speak loudly and chucklingly asked them, ”How is it? Did I scare you?”

The two turned their heads upon hearing this, and the old Taoist immediately bowed, ”No, no, the act of expelling demons and defending the Dao by a Hero is heartwarming to people like us. How could it scare me?”

The little Taoist then spoke up, ”Hero, can you teach me martial arts?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”You want to learn martial arts?”

The little Taoist replied, ”Yes, if I learn martial arts, I’ll be fearless of these villains, and they won’t steal my chickens anymore.”

Seeing the little Taoist like this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, ”Hmm, since you want to learn martial arts so much, I can help you. But let me teaching you is unlikely. Do you know who that evil monk is?”

The little Taoist shook his head, ”I don’t.”

Chen Jie continued, ”That monk is none other than the current foremost Living Buddha, a disciple of Basiba. Stirring things up with him, can we expect anything good to come of it? Besides, I killed his disciple.”

Upon hearing this, the little Taoist fell silent, and after a while, he said, ”If he can teach such domineering people like the evil monk, he can’t be the true Buddha.”

”Ugh!”

Listening to the little Taoist’s audacious remarks, the old Taoist was so shocked that he covered the little Taoist’s mouth, ”Stop talking recklessly!”

Chen Jie liked this straightforward style of the little Taoist very much, glanced at him, and then reached out from his bosom to pull out a secret martial arts manual, handing it to the little Taoist, ”How much you can learn depends on your own fortunes.”

The little Taoist then looked at the secret manual in his hand, only to see that it was titled ”Purple Mist Divine Skill.”

It was also a top-tier martial arts skill of the present time. Chen Jie had collected this secret martial arts manual from the Inner Treasury; even though the current Emperor didn’t practice martial arts, he loved collecting secret martial arts manuals of various kinds in abundance. When Chen Jie left, he scooped them all up, taking them entirety to enrich his Scripture Tower.

The little Taoist held the Purple Mist Divine Skill, looked at it, and cautiously tucked it into his bosom.

Seeing this, the old Taoist immediately got nervous, ”Hero, such a precious secret martial arts manual, we can’t accept it, we can’t.”

”Hurry, quickly return it to the Hero.”

The old Taoist said to the little Taoist, who, upon hearing this, held the manual tightly. Chen Jie witnessed this and said, ”Fine, don’t trouble the child anymore. Besides, the manual isn’t given to you for free.”

Chen Jie looked at the little Taoist, who upon hearing this, asked, ”Then what can I give you?”

Chen Jie looked at him and said, ”When you have mastered it, come to Huangzhou Prefecture and return this secret manual to me.”

The little Taoist was taken aback, looking at Chen Jie, ”Is it that simple?”

Chen Jie said, ”Is it simple? Say it again when you return the manual!”

”I will certainly master it, and I will personally return this manual to you.”

The little Taoist said persistently, and Chen Jie replied, ”I’ll wait for you.”

Saying this, Chen Jie looked at the old Taoist and said, ”Taoist, here’s ten taels of gold for you.”

Chen Jie took out a gold ingot from his storage ring, and upon seeing this gold ingot, the old Taoist was stupefied, ”Hero, what, what’s this for?”

Chen Jie looked at the old Taoist and said, ”I inadvertently demolished your Taoist Temple; this money is compensation for you to rebuild one.”

”Ah, how could I accept the Hero’s money? You saved our lives, my apprentice and me!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”One matter is one matter. You were innocent victims. And now, after the disaster, you need to rebuild your lives. Without money, how will you live?”
