Lei Yun was always rather lazy. He rarely cooked in the kitchen in the back, mostly going to the noodle shop on the street for a quick bite, or ordering takeout. Recently, his income had been good, so Lei Yun decided to treat himself to another takeout.
As he opened the door, the shop across the street had already put up its sign and settled down.
Remembering the elegant and slender figure he saw this morning, Lei Yun couldn’t help but take a few more glances. At this moment, the fat man next door came over and winked at Lei Yun.
“What’s wrong with you so early in the morning?” Lei Yun asked.
The fat man’s round face stiffened, and he said, “I’m fine, I meant, are you looking at the beautiful woman across the street?”
“Beautiful woman?” Lei Yun asked back.
The fat man quickly said, “Yes, didn’t you see? I didn’t expect Hejiang Street to have a beautiful woman opening a shop.” The fat man rubbed his chin and continued, “Although it’s also a coffin shop, I don’t mind a beautiful woman competing with me for business.”
Lei Yun shook his head helplessly, thinking that he really hadn’t seen that the fat man was this kind of person.
“She doesn’t just sell coffins, she also does feng shui.” Lei Yun raised his chin, signaling for the fat man to look at the sign across the street.

The thin man suddenly smiled and said, “These days, there’s nothing impressive about feng shui. You’ve been selling coffins for so long, you can also do it.” After speaking, he rubbed his thin hands and leaned in next to Lei Yun, continuing, “I think that Uncle Wang behind, who’s been doing feng shui on this street for so many years, lives a worse life than you coffin sellers, and always wears sunglasses to pretend to be blind, pretending to be a half-immortal. Others don’t know, but we both know, his eyesight is better than anyone else.”
Lei Yun was choked by this. It was true, but this woman across the street wouldn’t be that simple.
The two were speechless for a while. Before long, the thin man went back to his shop and closed the door.
The delivery guy was still that same young brother. They were very familiar with each other. The young brother said, “Handsome guy, we meet again.”
Lei Yun also wanted to ask this question: “Why do I always run into you?”
Huai City was so big, were there so few deliverymen?
The big brother smiled and scratched his hair, saying, “Later, those who sell deliveries all said this place isn’t clean, no one wants to go, so the company added money, and you’ve got this area covered. This whole street is delivered by me.”
“I think that’s pretty good. I even bought a house here, just up ahead. If you order takeout in the future, it’ll probably all be delivered by me.”
Lei Yun nodded, examining the aura around the big brother. As expected, the auspicious energy was becoming increasingly faint. There was something feng shui-wise about this Hejiang Street. Lei Yun was a little puzzled.
“I won’t say anymore, I’ve got another order coming. Remember to give me a five-star review, okay?” After speaking, he rode his little electric bike and sped away.
Watching the departing yellow figure, Lei Yun shook his head and smiled.
At this moment, the white figure across the street looked at him, and then actually walked over.
It was the woman he saw this morning, the owner of the shop across the street.
The woman was wearing a white dress, her hair reaching her waist, elegant and refined. A pair of phoenix eyes on her fair oval face were calmly looking at Lei Yun.
“Shopkeeper Lei.” The woman’s voice was gentle.
Lei Yun nodded blankly, somewhat bewildered.
The woman said again, “I’ve heard so much about you.”
Lei Yun was still bewildered, looking at her in confusion.
The woman glanced at the outside of the inn. Lei Yun understood and led her inside.
The woman sized up the inn, from the counter to the cabinets next to it, the tables, the chairs, and then to Lei Yun.
Her gaze was cool. Lei Yun felt like he was an object in front of this woman.
At this moment, the woman made a cupping fist gesture and said, “Chen Jing, a disciple of the White Cloud Temple.”
Lei Yun also returned the greeting, saying, “I am Lei Yun, the owner of the Changsheng Inn.”
The White Cloud Temple had a long history. One of his ancestors had collaborated with a female immortal from the White Cloud Temple, so it was normal for this woman to know Lei Yun.
“How could a disciple of the White Cloud Temple come to this place?” The White Cloud Temple belonged to the northern region, while Huai City was in the south.
Chen Jing’s gaze was indifferent as she quietly looked at Lei Yun. Lei Yun then realized and quickly asked her to sit down, even going to pour her a cup of water.
Chen Jing took the water cup and took a sip, softly saying, “My master asked me to go out and gain experience. By chance, I am here. I heard that the Changsheng Inn is on Hejiang Street, so I opened a shop here.”
Lei Yun thought to himself that beautiful women were indeed unique. Just look at this bearing, this posture.
Chen Jing continued, “Shopkeeper Lei, I’m a little short on money.” After saying this, her eyes flashed unnaturally. She continued, “I heard that the Changsheng Inn has a wide range of businesses. If there is any business, could you introduce me to some?”
If it were someone else, Lei Yun would definitely ignore them, but in Chen Jing’s case, he immediately agreed.
He still had to take care of the descendants of his old friends.
“Easy, easy.” Lei Yun responded with a smile, suddenly remembering the Lu family matter, and continued, “I happen to have something here. If you have time tomorrow, go with me.”
Chen Jing didn’t expect it to be so soon, but she was indeed short of money right now, so she nodded and said, “Thank you, Shopkeeper Lei.”
Lei Yun scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed and said, “Just call me Lei Yun.”
Chen Jing nodded and said, “Okay.”
“By the way, who is your master?” Lei Yun also walked to the table and sat down, asking and considerately pouring Chen Jing another cup of water.
Chen Jing glanced at Lei Yun’s actions and softly said, “Huijue Shitai, I am her lay disciple.”
Lei Yun thought for a while and said, “I know, I’ve met her, but it’s been many years.”
“How did you come to the White Cloud Temple to become a lay disciple?” Lei Yun curiously asked. Such a beautiful girl actually mixed with that group of strict Daoist nuns.
As soon as he said this, Lei Yun could feel that Chen Jing was not in a good mood. Her original clear and cold aura instantly became even colder. She gripped the cup tightly, and said in a low voice, “I was sent there by my family.” Her eyes looked at Lei Yun, then looked elsewhere and continued, “My fate is not good.”
Fate? Lei Yun then carefully examined Chen Jing’s three souls and seven spirits, and then understood in his heart that this Chen Jing was actually of the extremely Yin constitution.
A woman with this constitution would either have to enter the path of cultivation, or she would not live past eighteen. But looking at Chen Jing now, if you didn’t look carefully, you really couldn’t tell.
Chen Jing probably noticed Lei Yun’s actions and quickly took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. In an instant, the Yin and cold energy swept over.
Lei Yun quickly said, “Put it on quickly.”
Chen Jing calmly and unhurriedly put on the jade bracelet and said in a low voice, “My master found this for me, saying that it can suppress my body and prevent unscrupulous people from discovering it.”
People with extremely Yin constitutions were not only prone to attracting evil spirits, but were also the best furnaces for cultivators, but they were also good seedlings for cultivation, especially for the White Cloud Temple’s cultivation methods.
No wonder the White Cloud Temple would take her in as a lay disciple.
