A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

110: The eccentric flower monkEarly the next morning, sunlight spilled into the apartment through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

By the dining table, Liao Fan said indistinctly while eating a beef bun, ”Bai Tian, I heard that in our department’s large group chat, at least twenty or so classmates are playing [Nine Heavens].”

He swallowed a mouthful of the bun and continued, ”A few of them are playing exceptionally well; they’re already Level 15.”

His eyes lit up as if he had thought of a good idea. ”The matter of your city building token is no joke. How about I go find them and ask them to help defend the city?”

”After all, we know them well, so we can feel more at ease.”

Bai Tian put down his cup of soy milk, pulled out a tissue to elegantly wipe his mouth, then shook his head and said firmly, ”No, my identity in the game is very special. I can’t let our classmates know.”

He paused and continued to explain, ”Besides, I have a very good relationship with Flowers in Full Bloom, whom I mentioned to you, and her best friend, Frost Like Snow.”

”Since she promised to help me find people to build the city, I trust her.”

Upon hearing this, Liao Fan immediately became interested, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. ”Flowers in Full Bloom? That famous number one beauty assassin in Nine Heavens?”

He paused and joked, ”You’ve known her for so long; does she have a boyfriend? Do you think I have a chance to pursue her?”

Bai Tian couldn’t help but laugh. ”I don’t know if she has a boyfriend or not. But as for you, she probably won’t be interested.”

Liao Fan stood up indignantly at those words, striking a pose he thought was very handsome. ”I don’t believe it. With my hunk status, I can’t win her over?”

He looked at Bai Tian provocatively. ”Do you dare to make a bet with me?”

Bai Tian rolled his eyes at him. ”Stop being so narcissistic; I’m not interested in betting with you. Once you’re done eating, you need to hurry to the school to register, and register for me while you’re at it.”

Bai Tian stood up and straightened his clothes. ”I still need to get on the game to prepare some things.”

He urged again, ”Remember, don’t go blabbing to our classmates about what we’re doing in the game.”

Bai Tian checked his phone and added, ”Remember to come back and log on as soon as you’re done registering. I’m going to activate the city building token at 10 o’clock.”

Liao Fan patted his chest and promised solemnly, ”Don’t worry, I’m not a big mouth.”

He smiled and continued, ”As your future vice city lord, I must personally attend to such an important matter as building the city.”

With that, he grabbed a beef bun and a cup of soy milk, impatiently preparing to head out.

Today was the day they were to report to their college.

This semester, Bai Tian and Liao Fan had entered their junior year. The college’s course schedule was unbelievably loose, with fewer than six classes a week.

Even if they took an occasional leave of absence, not showing up for ten days or half a month would be no problem at all.

This also allowed Bai Tian to devote more time to the game.

After Liao Fan left, Bai Tian finished his breakfast, tidied up a bit, and impatiently went into his room to log into the game.

As soon as he got online, Bai Tian received a message sent by Flowers in Full Bloom before she went offline: ”Brilliant, thank you so much! I’ve already finished processing all the mount treasure boxes I had on hand.”

”You can now give God Sky his mount treasure boxes.”

Flowers in Full Bloom’s message also included a suggestion: ”I did some research for you. The most suitable location for building a city near Border Wild City is where our alchemy teacher, Flower Monk, is.”

”It’s nestled against mountains and near water, with treacherous terrain that’s easy to defend and hard to attack. I strongly suggest you use the city building token there.”

”Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. The final decision is yours to make.”

Flowers in Full Bloom had sent these messages three hours ago; she must have stayed up all night to handle the mount treasure boxes.

After reading, Bai Tian closed the message window and quickly mailed all 267 mount treasure boxes belonging to God Sky to him.

Then, he summoned his majestic Ancestral Return Strange Horse. After mounting it, he bought some delicious roasted chicken, roasted goose, and mellow aged wine before setting off for the location of his alchemy teacher, Flower Monk.

With the speed of the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, Bai Tian soon reached his destination.

The terrain here featured green mountains towering into the clouds, lush trees providing dense shade, and pools so clear you could see the bottom, where the water and sky merged into one color.

The terrain here was indeed excellent; no wonder Flowers in Full Bloom strongly recommended building the city here.

However, the only discordant note in this beautiful scenery was a dilapidated old temple standing beneath the green mountains and beside the clear waters.

The owner of this old temple was none other than Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom’s alchemy teacher—Flower Monk.

Bai Tian knew well that NPCs in this game could not be judged by common logic, especially this teacher of his.

Therefore, before coming to his teacher’s territory to build a city, he brought along some good wine and food as a sign of respect and social courtesy.

Unlike its usual bustle, the place now seemed somewhat deserted.

Only an old crow sat on a withered tree at the entrance of the ruined temple, cawing loudly.

For some reason, Bai Tian felt the old crow’s gaze was a bit eerie, as if it were constantly staring at him.

As if a real person were scrutinizing him.

Bai Tian didn’t think too much about it. After dismounting, he walked straight toward the dilapidated temple.

The temple’s main gate was as rotten as dregs, with decaying wood strewn about, appearing incredibly fragile, like a mere decoration.

Just as Bai Tian approached, a strange sound suddenly came from within the temple.

It was a voice so tender and soft it made one’s marrow tingle, a coquettishness that seemed to seep from deep within the bones.

”Ma... Master, this humble one is already exhausted. I beg you to let me go...”

Hearing this voice, Bai Tian’s pupils suddenly constricted, his ears perked up, and his expression became lecherous. Like a cat, he silently crept closer to the temple.

Soon, that familiar, improper voice rang out.

”Xiang’er, we’re both working hard. Why are you tired?”

”Come, come, let’s go for another eight hundred rounds.”

”Until the sun sets today, you are not allowed to leave.”

Bai Tian was instantly amused. Could he be witnessing a romantic affair between NPCs in the game today?

He cautiously approached a drafty window, wanting to see what was happening.

”Stinky Master, I don’t want to.”

”Someone is here. Xiang’er will come back another day to consult the Master on Buddhist teachings.”

Hearing this, Bai Tian immediately pulled back his head and stood up straight, knowing he had been discovered.

”Oh, Xiang’er, don’t go!”

”I’ll just chase that little brat away.”

”Xiang... Xiang’er!”

Hearing such mushy words from Flower Monk, Bai Tian sighed to himself outside the temple, ”He really knows how to have a wild time! He truly lives up to the name Flower Monk.”

The next moment, with a ”whoosh,” Bai Tian saw a snow-white fox with three long tails leap out of the ruined temple and onto its roof.

”A fox?”

Bai Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The three-tailed white fox glanced at Bai Tian from the roof, unexpectedly showing a human-like tsundere expression before quickly disappearing.

This... how is this possible? His teacher, Flower Monk, has a thing with a fox?
