Chapter 001: I, Russell, am not a fool

I do not have a wife, yet you have managed to have four!

After quite a while, he finally managed to sit down on the chair

Nami

One is manageable, but it is concerning to become infatuated with a group

This year, Uncle Jiu has already lost count of how many matchmakers have come to his door, and none of them are for him, but rather for his young apprentice

A voice filled with exasperation came from inside, and Uncle Jiu smiled, reaching out to pull a little child out from the pile of cardboard.

Uncle Jiu nodded, placed his young apprentice aside, and sat at the head of the table. Wencai took a seat next to him, while Qiusheng stayed behind to look after his aunt's shop and did not come over

The women passing by on the streets

Suddenly, four beautiful women appeared before him, and Wen Cai spat out the food he had just eaten.

Sure!

Upon witnessing this scene, Uncle Jiu furrowed his brows. His young disciple was exceptionally gifted, yet he was born with a malevolent disposition. Even if he were to be saved, his constitution would still be quite poor

The little panda immediately hugged its head with its paws, shouting loudly, "Help! Lin Jiu is abusing a national treasure! Heaven! Earth! Ancestor of Maoshan! Look at this!"

Uncle Jiu helplessly raised his head and looked up at the ceiling, where a black and white fluffy panda cub had also lifted its head, wearing a confused expression. It suddenly slipped beneath its feet and rolled down in a round and plump manner.

He was so handsome in his childhood, and he has grown up well. As for the person, it is acceptable, but ultimately, he will need to marry a wife

Uncle Jiu's face darkened, and with his left index finger bent, he made a gesture as if he was about to flick the little panda on its head

Uncle Jiu seemed to have thought of something, teasingly saying, "With such a frail body, it will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future. Are you hoping someone will gift you one?"

Russell did not know where he had learned it from, and Uncle Jiu initially did not pay much attention, thinking to himself that it was just a child, how far could he possibly practice

To my utter astonishment, merely three days had passed when Russell had cultivated the art of paper manipulation to an extremely profound level, transforming paper into form

At such a young age, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, sharp tiger teeth, and big watery eyes, he is clearly a handsome young man in the making

Do you still want to run

He raised his sword-like eyebrows and said, "You can give it a try. If you fail, I won't save you the next time we go shopping."

Uncle Jiu shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking. Given the character and talent of this little brat, it would be him bullying the female ghost, rather than the female ghost bullying him.

Russell said in a soft voice, extending his little chubby hand to pull out several small paper figures from his pocket and flicking them outward

The red panda smiled adorably, revealing a cute and silly grin. It is well known that he is a national treasure loved by all, admired by both people and flowers alike

Uncle Jiu used his left hand to flick a drop of saliva from his finger into his mouth, directly imprinting it on the head of the little panda

Around seven or eight years old, the child had a remarkably delicate appearance and was dressed in peculiar clothing. The child's lively eyes could instantly convey a sense of their extraordinary nature.

Uncle Jiu's gaze was sharp as he swept his eyes across the room, catching sight of the corner of a small piece of paper faintly visible in the arms of his young disciple, Russell.

Russell looked at the tall chair in front of him and couldn't help but roll his eyes. He placed both hands on it and exerted all his strength before finally managing to climb up.

That battle was truly chaotic; had it not been for their master noticing something amiss and hastily coming to their rescue, those few individuals would have met their end there

Misaka Mikoto

Covering oneself with a layer of paper, one directly transformed into a small food iron beast. If it were not for Uncle Jiu's innate ability to see through, an ordinary person would truly be unable to discern it

It is euphemistically referred to as a marriage arranged by the pointing of fingers

Uncle Jiu nodded in satisfaction at this, for his young apprentice was exceptionally talented and fearless of both heaven and earth

Upon seeing the corner of the small piece of paper, he immediately understood what was going on

Tomorrow I will teach you the art of Taoism, to cultivate the true Maoshan techniques. Do not continue practicing these unorthodox methods. It is not easy to restore your health, yet your body has become weak again

But what if the female ghost becomes infatuated?

You are being unreasonable

Sakura Haruno

Uncle Jiu chuckled, "You, a fierce beast capable of fighting tigers in the jungle, are acting cute in front of me?"

There is no way around it; who could blame him for having such a handsome young apprentice

A young man with a watermelon-shaped hairstyle and a relatively short stature walked over holding a bowl and placed it on the table beside him, saying, "It's time to eat"

The child looked terrified and quickly waved his hand, appearing quite obedient.

The red panda licked its paw, feigning an innocent expression, as if it truly did not understand a single word.

Did I really not fight against the iron-eating beast when I was young

Indeed, the more handsome a person is, the more controversies they attract. Ninth Uncle glanced at his young apprentice in hand and couldn't help but feel a sense of worry in his heart

The red panda tilted its head and said, "The one who can fight is the pangolin, what does it have to do with me, the red panda? Besides, Master, don't you think I'm adorable?"

Having reached such a level of self-study, Uncle Jiu was filled with joy. He couldn't help but think of his scholarly companions, Wencai and Qiusheng, who had studied with him for so many years. Compared to his young disciple, Russell, they were simply like stones in a latrine.

Russell proudly said, "Master, do not be afraid, if there is no wife, one can create one oneself, any kind will do"

The successors of Maoshan are indeed present

Uncle Jiu, with quick reflexes, caught the clumsy panda in one swift motion as a monkey attempted to fish for the moon.

Uncle Jiu held the back collar of the little boy, and upon seeing his constantly rolling little eyes, he knew that he was up to no good again

Uncle Jiu's expression darkened as he reached out and grabbed Russell's little ear

Hmph, slacking off again, I ask you, have you completed the talisman drawing for today

Back then, the Iron-eating Beast was beaten to a pulp by the Four-eyed Monster, which led to their senior brothers joining forces to seek revenge.

Every time this little fellow goes out, he is always surrounded by a crowd, with people trying to take advantage of him and pinching his cheeks

The red panda instantly burst, transforming into a paper-thin shell

Acting cute in front of me

Practice less of the paper figure technique, as it is merely a sideline practice. The more you practice, the weaker your body becomes. Focusing solely on the technique without cultivating the body will not lead to a long life

Although Uncle Jiu said so, there was still a hint of joy in his eyes. Russell was his little apprentice in both painting and writing. Due to his physical condition and mental capacity not meeting the standards, he was not taught the art of Taoism.

Mind your own business

What kind of order is this! Acting recklessly!

Uncle Jiu gently touched Russell's small head, and Russell blinked his eyes, appearing particularly lively and mischievous

It seemed as if everything that had just happened was of no relation to him

The only fear is one

That was one of the spoils of war from the Ninth Uncle's demon-slaying and righteous deeds. As a highly skilled disciple of Maoshan, he naturally looked down upon the unorthodox paths, and thus the art of paper effigies became nothing more than a tool to prop up the table

Climbing onto a chair has resulted in this; it is simply too absurd

The little panda rubbed its eyes with its paws, wearing an innocent expression, and blinked its two small eyes.

This little brat is carefree all day long, and from his room, he dug out a book on a fringe art, the paper figure technique

Harukaze Sora

Shouldn't it be so pretentious

Master, junior apprentice

Little bunny, come down quickly, it's time to eat

Both foul and hard

Come forth, my paper doll wives

One question, has it not been born over there yet

This really amused Uncle Jiu, "You still consider yourself a national treasure? I've seen plenty of things like you. Back in the day when your Shimu Shishu was practicing divine strikes, he went to find the Iron-Eating Beast to train his fists and kicks, and as a result, your Shimu Shishu ended up with a face like a pig's head"

I don't care
