Ding! The first time, you helped the police crack the case of tourist deception and were rewarded with one chance at the lucky draw. The second time, you helped the father and son. The third time, you helped a girl return home and to regain her dreams. It happens to be three chances at the draw!said the System.

Fangzheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He was really afraid that the System would say that he didnt meet the requirements and not give him any merit. The System had really done this before.

Although he did not manage to get four chances at the draw, saving his disciples life was the most important.

Therefore, Fangzheng nodded and said, Lets go home!

Therefore, Fangzheng activated A Golden Millet Dream and rode on Salted Fish. The two of them transformed into a line of dust and blasted off!

A Golden Millet Dream could be used for a total of 24 hours, which meant that Fangzheng could use it until tonight. Therefore, it was completely fine for Salted Fish to run a day

After running for twenty minutes, they left the city and entered a village road. In the end

Phew Master, I cant run anymore! Salted Fish shouted.

Fangzheng was rendered speechless as he said in exasperation, You cant run after this short distance? Are you skiving?

Salted Fish rolled his eyes when he heard that. Master, people need to pump petrol even when driving. People need to feed a horse some straw when riding them You ride on a salted fish without feeding him Do you really think I grew up eating air?

Fangzheng blushed when he heard that. He wanted to eat too, but what could they eat?

The city was not like the mountains. If they were hungry, they would eat some wild vegetables.

In a city, everything was either private or public property. Eating them would be against the law

Helpless, Salted Fish refused to walk. Fangzheng had no choice but to wrap Salted Fish up and carry him. Although he was hungry, he still had strength.

After deactivating A Golden Millet Dream, he was just about to leave when a car slowly drove over from behind. Not long after, the car stopped beside Fangzheng. A female driver peeked out her head and asked, Venerable One, where are you going? If its on the way, Ill give you a ride.

Fangzheng was immediately delighted when he heard that. He pressed his palms together and said, Amitabha. Patron, This Penniless Monk is going over there.

Fangzheng didnt know where he lived either. It was surrounded by mountains. He couldnt possibly report the mountains address, right?

Hence, he could only point out the direction.

The female driver was rather straightforward. She patted the steering wheel and said, Get in.

Fangzheng immediately got into the car and sat in the front passenger seat. He buckled his seatbelt. Without the sunlight hitting him and having the air-conditioning blowing him, Fangzheng felt a lot better other than Salted Fish being a little uncomfortable. He immediately used his imagination and decided to shift Salted Fishs position to the back of his waist.

Salted Fish cursed inwardly.This darn baldy, hes addicted to using an ancestor like me! He used me as a pillow last night, but now hes using me as a support! F**k! I wont follow him down the mountain in the future

However, Salted Fish still sent a voice transmission to Fangzheng.Master, its not easy to catch one. Dont forget to get a meal.

Fangzheng hurriedly cast A Golden Millet Dream to conceal his voice as he answered, Im not that thick-skinned. Hitching a ride is one thing, but to ask for food after getting into someones car, I cant bring myself to say it. Alright, stop talking. Starve. Lets talk after we return to the monastery.

Salted Fish looked aggrieved, but his eyes darted around as a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Sit properly. Were setting off. The female driver smiled.

Fangzheng nodded, but

Groan The woman looked at Fangzheng in surprise.

Fangzheng was also dumbfounded. His stomach wasnt growling! Therefore Fangzheng smiled. Its not This Penniless Monk

The woman nodded slightly. Perhaps its an illusion

The moment he finished his sentence, he heard Fangzhengs side. Groan Groan Groan

Venerable One, are you hungry? the woman asked suspiciously.

Fangzheng blushed as he secretly extended his hand to his back. He pinched the fishs face and twisted it! At the same time, he smiled at the woman. Its alright, alright

In the end

Groan Groan Groan Fangzhengs stomach rumbled again.

Fangzheng was infuriated when he heard that. He activated A Golden Millet Dream and pulled Salted Fish out. He stared at him and asked, What are you doing?

Salted Fish said pitifully, Master, Im about to starve to death. Give me something to eat

Fangzheng looked at Salted Fish and felt helpless. Bear with it. When we return to the mountain, you can have whatever you want.

Salted Fish rolled his eyes. You make it sound like theres food on the mountain.

Fangzheng said, I mean what I say.

Salted Fish immediately perked up when he heard that. Really?

Fangzheng nodded.

Even though Salted Fish found Fangzheng unreliable, the latter definitely did whatever he promised! He immediately felt relieved, but he was still hungry

Fangzheng said, Now, be obedient and stay behind. Dont make any more noises!

With that said, Fangzheng stuffed Salted Fish behind him and continued using him as waist support.

The woman didnt see Fangzheng reprimand Salted Fish. All she saw was Fangzhengs face flushed red as he bowed his head shyly. The woman immediately found the monk interesting and adorable. Her eyes were filled with smiles.

The woman could not help but start teasing the monk. Hence, she asked, Master, are you really not hungry?

Fangzheng remained silent.

Since he could not lie, he could only use silence to express what he meant. He thought to himself, Do you need to ask? Cant you see?

When the woman saw Fangzhengs expression, she immediately beamed. Then, she turned behind and handed a huge bag from the back-row seats to Fangzheng. Theres bread, milk, and some snacks. I was planning on eating them when Im hungry. There are also some snacks for my niece. Eat first. Dont starve.

Fangzheng was taken aback before he shook his head. He was about to reject.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard Salted Fish mimic his voice. Amitabha. Thank you, Patron. This Penniless Monk will not stand on ceremony.

Fangzheng was instantly infuriated when he heard that. However, what could he do now that it had been said that?

The woman was clearly taken aback. She was driving, so it was impossible for her to keep staring at Fangzheng. Therefore, she did not know that Fangzheng had not opened his mouth. However, she had never expected the monk to change his attitude so quickly!

However, the woman thought nothing of it. She chuckled and said, Then eat more.

What could Fangzheng say? With things developing to this point, all he could do was eat!

Therefore, Fangzheng did not stand on ceremony. He took out a piece of bread and secretly stuffed it into Salted Fishs mouth. He enjoyed the meal.

As the woman drove, she chatted with Fangzheng and introduced herself.

The womans name was Hua Yue. It was a nice name, but it was rare to have such a surname.

When Hua Yue heard Fangzhengs name, she was clearly taken aback. Finally, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, Do monks nowadays like to gain attention? Ive encountered quite a number of Fangzhengs along the way. Some of them are older, and some are young acolytes I never expected to pick another one on the road.
