Chapter Four: Deepening Affection and Shared Hardships
Liu Yu cautiously pulled Bai Suzhen deeper into the cave. The footsteps grew closer and closer, and their hearts were in their throats.
"Amitabha, Bai Suzhen, Liu Yu, you can't escape!" Fahai's voice rang out from outside the cave.
Liu Yu held Bai Suzhen's hand tightly and said softly, "Miss Bai, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Bai Suzhen nodded slightly, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination: "Young Master Liu, we will face this together."
Just as Fahai was about to enter the cave, a flash of green light appeared, revealing that it was Xiaoqing, the green snake, who had come to his aid.
"Fahai, you old bald monk, don't even think about hurting my sister!" Xiaoqing shouted angrily.
When Fahai saw Xiaoqing, his face darkened: "It's you again, you ignorant little green snake."
The two sides instantly became tense and engaged in a fierce battle. Fahai possessed great magical power, and his golden alms bowl shone brightly. Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, the sisters, worked together and used all their skills to fight back.
Liu Yu watched anxiously from the sidelines, but he was frustrated because he lacked the powerful magic to directly participate in the battle. Suddenly, he thought of his quirky upgrade system; perhaps he could find a way to help them from there.
Liu Yu urgently called out to the system in his mind: "System, quickly think of a way to defeat Fahai?"
The system responded: "Host, you can use your points to exchange for the magic weapon 'Sea-Stabilizing Pearl', which can temporarily suppress Fahai's magic power."
Liu Yu said without hesitation, "Exchange it immediately!"
A flash of light appeared, and a bead emitting a blue glow appeared in Liu Yu's hand. Seizing the opportunity, he threw the Sea-Stabilizing Bead towards Fahai.
Fahai was fighting Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing with all his might when Liu Yu's move struck him with the Dinghai Pearl, instantly suppressing his magical power.
"A good opportunity!" Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing seized the opportunity to intensify their attack, and Fahai gradually found himself at a disadvantage.
"Hmph, you're lucky today, but I won't let you off next time!" Seeing that things were not going well, Fahai turned and left.
With the crisis averted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Qing looked at Liu Yu and teased, "Oh, this little Taoist priest actually has some skills."
Liu Yu scratched his head sheepishly: "Thanks to the system for helping me."
After going through this ordeal, Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen's feelings for each other deepened, and Xiaoqing's attitude towards Liu Yu also changed.
In the days that followed, Liu Yu, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing traveled together. They visited famous mountains and rivers, and Liu Yu told them strange and interesting stories from the modern world, making the two sisters laugh non-stop.
One day, they arrived at a beautiful little town. A temple fair was being held in the town, and it was bustling with activity.
Liu Yu bought Bai Suzhen a beautiful hairpin and put it on her head by hand: "Miss Bai, you look absolutely gorgeous with this hairpin on."
Bai Suzhen smiled shyly: "Thank you, Young Master Liu."
Xiaoqing watched from the side and said, pretending to be disgusted, "Hey, you two, stop showing off your love in front of me."
Everyone burst into laughter.
However, happy times are always short-lived. Fahai did not give up the pursuit of them; he joined forces with some other eminent monks and prepared to strike them again.
On this day, while Liu Yu and his companions were resting in the mountains, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of monks.
"Bai Suzhen, today is your end!" Fahai shouted.
Liu Yu stepped forward and said, "You bunch of monks, bullying the few with numbers, what kind of heroes are you!"
Fahai sneered, "To associate with demons is an unforgivable crime."
The two sides engaged in fierce fighting once again. This time, Fahai and his men came prepared, putting Liu Yu and his group at a significant disadvantage.
Bai Suzhen was injured while protecting Liu Yu.
"Sister!" Xiaoqing exclaimed.
Liu Yu was extremely anxious: "Miss Bai, how are you?"
Bai Suzhen said weakly, "Young Master Liu, don't worry about me, you should go quickly."
Liu Yu said firmly, "I won't abandon you!"
Just at this critical moment, Liu Yu's system suddenly sent a notification: "Host, completing the hidden mission will grant you mysterious power to help you escape your predicament."
Liu Yu quickly asked, "What hidden quest?"
The system said, "Find the sacred Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains, and water it with your true blood to awaken its power."
Without hesitation, Liu Yu rushed into the mountains to search for the magical herb, Ganoderma lucidum. After many hardships, he finally found it.
Liu Yu cut his wrist and used his blood to nourish the immortal herb. The herb emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful force flowed into Liu Yu's body.
Liu Yu returned to the battlefield with this power and engaged in a final showdown with Fahai and the others.
Ultimately, will they be able to defeat Fahai? And what will become of Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen?
