Qiao Jiusheng’s expression was terrible. She pursed her lips and continued, “I also had an impulse to cut off Fang Mu’s dick.”

Fang Yusheng was stunned.

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

“It’s good to have such an idea,” he calmly said. After he said those words, he remained silent for a moment before continuing in a serious tone, “You can just practice such an idea in your head. Don’t be rash!”

Qiao Jiusheng said, “Of course. Even I find it dirty to touch that thing.”

Fang Yusheng’s back went numb again.

The two of them returned to the small courtyard in silence. Aunt Jin was in the courtyard selecting soybeans. She wanted to make some bean sprouts. When she saw the couple coming back, she quickly stood up and asked, “Young Master Yusheng, Madam, are you full? Do you want to eat some supper?” Every time they went to the main house, Fang Yusheng did not have much of an appetite. Aunt Jin was used to preparing a small meal for him.

However, this time, Fang Yusheng shook his head.

“There’s no need! You can continue with your work.”

After entering his house, Fang Yusheng suddenly asked Qiao Jiusheng, “There’s a way to calm your anger quickly. Do you want to give it a try?”

Qiao Jiusheng curiously asked, “What method?”

“Follow me.” Fang Yusheng led her into the meditation room on the left.

Once they entered the room, Fang Yusheng threw a scripture book to Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng caught it and heard Fang Yusheng say, “Come, read my copy.”

She looked down, and her face became pale. “The Earth Bodhisattva Sutra…” She raised the book in her hand and asked Fang Yusheng, “My heart is calm right now. I don’t need to calm down at all. Can I go back to my room to rest?”

Fang Yusheng smiled and replied, “No.”

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

“What’s the use of reading this?” Qiao Jiusheng did not believe in Buddhism. This thing was just an ordinary book to her.

Fang Yusheng sat down cross-legged and replied, “Remove negative karma and improve fate.”

Qiao Jiusheng did not know if his words had moved her, but she pursed her lips and sat down with the book.

The sound of her chanting entered Fang Yusheng’s ears. He was used to hearing Qi Bufan chanting sutras, but he was not used to this.

The woman of Brahmin asked the Ghost King, ‘Where is this place?’

Wu Du replied, “This is the first sea west of the Great Iron Mountain.”

The Holy Maiden asked, “Is it true that Hell is within the iron encirclement?”

There is indeed hell.

The Holy Maiden asked, “How did I get to the prison today?”

Wu Du replied, “If it weren’t for God’s might, it would have been negative karma. If it weren’t for this, it wouldn’t have arrived…”

Qiao Jiusheng finally lost her patience reading the scripture. She closed her hands together and leaned against the table. Placing her chin on the back of her hands, she looked up at Fang Yusheng, who was copying scriptures. It was strange. Fang Yusheng was blind. Yet, the scriptures he copied were neatly arranged and even his handwriting was neat.

As Qiao Jiusheng played with the orchids, she asked him, “Hey, do you really believe in Buddha?”

Fang Yusheng kept writing and softly hummed.

Qiao Jiusheng added, “Isn’t it said that Buddhists are kind-hearted? I don’t think you’re a good person.”

Her frankness made Fang Yusheng smile. He continued, “Bodhisattva said that only those with evil intentions would believe in Buddhism to achieve salvation.”

Qiao Jiusheng asked again, “Are these Bodhisattva Yusheng’s kind words?”

Fang Yusheng smiled even more happily.

Qiao Jiusheng lost interest in asking questions. She grabbed an orchid leaf and tore it into small pieces with her nails.

“Don’t tear it.” Fang Yusheng suddenly put down his brush. Once he could hear that Qiao Jiusheng had stopped tearing the orchid leaves, he indifferently said, “It’s scary to suddenly realize that the people around you can’t be trusted anymore.”

Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Yusheng without blinking.

“I believe in Buddha only because I can’t find anything I can trust.”

These words stunned Qiao Jiusheng.

Come to think of it, I am the same as Fang Yusheng. I can’t find anyone I can trust. I have lived in vain for more than twenty years.

“Trust me,” she suddenly said.

Seeing Fang Yusheng’s laughable expression, Qiao Jiusheng boldly tapped the back of Fang Yusheng’s hand with the tip of the pen and said again, “You can trust me. We both know the biggest secret in each other’s hearts. The two of us are in cahoots.”

After a moment of silence, Fang Yusheng replied, “Colluding together is a derogatory term.” He removed the mischievous pen from the back of his hand and corrected Qiao Jiusheng. “Let’s deal with Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin together. That’s called getting rid of evil for the people.”

Qiao Jiusheng felt that what he said made sense.

“So we should be called the Righteous Couple.”

Fang Yusheng felt that this code name was not appropriate. He thought for a while, picked up a brush, and wrote two words on a blank piece of paper—Twin Couple.

Qiao Jiusheng’s eyes lit up. “Yes, the twin couple. This code name is awesome.”
