She wasn't getting involved in this mess anymore. If she continued, not only would she fail to save anyone, but she'd be lucky to get out of here in one piece!
With that thought, Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't hesitate and prepared to tear through the chaos to escape.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing the troublesome bald monk about to slip away, Xiruan wasn't having it.
You hit someone and then you think you can just leave? As if there's such a cheap escape!
"Leave the medical fees behind!"
She hurled her baby bottle at Guanyin's back.
The bottle sliced through the chaos, emitting a piercing hum and instantly catching up to Guanyin.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was fleeing at full speed, felt a terrifying sense of crisis, one that could freeze her very soul, engulf her entirely.
"This is bad!"
Her expression changed drastically. Without time to think, she thrust the Jade Pure Bottle she held behind her.
BOOM!!!
A deafening roar shook the entire chaotic expanse.
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt a brutal impact on her back, sending her flying out like a kite with a snapped string.
Her blood surged, and she involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.
She staggered, steadying herself. The eternally compassionate look on her face finally vanished completely.
A wave of fear and... indignation washed over her.
She, the dignified Guanyin Bodhisattva, when had she ever suffered such indignity?
"Wo... Woman Bodhisattva..."
Guanyin's voice took on a tearful quality.
"Can we talk this out properly? Please... please don't hit me anymore, okay?"
She was genuinely scared.
This little one really packed a punch!
Xiruan looked up and saw the troublesome bald monk on the verge of tears.
"So now you know how to talk properly?"
She waddled over to Guanyin, extending her chubby little hand.
"I told you earlier, medical fees!"
"And, the mental distress fee for that old auntie, lost wages, and the fright fee for being scared by you!"
"Add it all up and pay!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva stared at the small hand outstretched before her, her mind a complete blank.
Pay... pay money?
In all her years of cultivation, people had always offered her incense and merit. When had it ever come to her paying others?
And for something as unheard of as mental distress fees?
"I... I don't have any money."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said instinctively.
As ascetics, they were detached from worldly possessions. How could they have money?
"No money?"
Xiruan's eyes narrowed instantly. She pointed her little finger at the golden, shimmering lotus platform beneath Guanyin Bodhisattva's feet.
"Then what is this?"
She then pointed at the cracked jade bottle.
"And what is this?"
Her gaze fell upon Guanyin Bodhisattva's pure white, flawless monk's robe.
"And this robe of yours! The material is so good, it must be worth a lot of money!"
"..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva followed her finger, looking at each item.
The Nine Grade Merit Golden Lotus Platform, the mutton-fat Jade Pure Bottle, the Moon White Monk Robe... these were her innate companions, symbols of her identity and cultivation.
To this baby, these items were apparently things that could be sold... property?
"Hand these over, and I'll let you go."
Xiruan's small face wore an expression that clearly said, "I'm giving you a chance here."
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt a surge of blood rush to her head, nearly making her spit out another mouthful of blood.
This was too much!
This was simply outrageous!
Guanyin Bodhisattva trembled with rage, almost willing to burn her origin to fight this little Devil King with all her might.
Wudang Holy Mother watched the absurd scene before her. Her fervor and reverence not only didn't diminish in the slightest, but grew even stronger.
She understood!
She finally understood!
This senior wasn't robbing them at all. She was... establishing authority! Declaring to the Three Realms! Their Intercepting Sect was back!
And they were announcing their return with the most powerful, most domineering stance!
Weren't you, Western Religious Sect, so mighty? Didn't you love converting others?
Today, I will make your quasi-saint mighty figures from the Western Religious Sect lose all face before my Intercepting Sect successor, and pay reparations and cede territory!
This was too domineering! Too heroic!
The more Wudang Holy Mother thought about it, the more excited she became. She walked to Xiruan's side and spoke coldly to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Guanyin!"
"Although my Intercepting Sect was defeated, we are not to be trifled with!"
"Today, you injured me first, and then offended my sect's senior. If you don't give us an explanation, you won't be leaving this place!"
Wudang Holy Mother's words were resounding and righteous.
Xiruan looked at the old aunt beside her with some confusion.
Why was this old aunt calling her "senior"?
And she seemed to know this bad bald guy?
From her words, it sounded like this bad bald guy injured her first?
Her little head whirred, and she seemed to understand.
Was this old aunt also part of her daddy's group?
The one called... Intercepting Sect?
And this bad bald guy was from another group called the Western Religious Sect.
These two groups had fought before, and the Intercepting Sect lost, so they owed the Western Religious Sect a lot of money.
Now, this bad bald guy was here to collect the debt, and he happened to run into the injured old aunt, so he wanted to take her back as payment!
So, it wasn't just bullying an elder, but also taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
This bad bald guy was truly too wicked!
"Good! So you're old enemies!"
Xiruan clapped her little hands, suddenly enlightened. Her gaze towards Guanyin Bodhisattva became even more unfriendly.
"Then we can't just let it go! We'll settle old scores and new ones together!"
"Today, you either leave these things behind, or..."
She shook the Chaos Milk Bottle in her hand and threatened with a fierce pout, "I'll beat you until you cry and run home like your two golden bosses!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva understood.
The little Devil King had met the Dharma Bodies of the two sect leaders.
Moreover, from the sound of it, the two sect leaders... had suffered a great loss under her?
A terrifying thought arose in her heart.
Could it be...
Those rumors that had spread from the Heavenly Court about the Two Saints of the West being terrified by a mysterious little girl...
Were true?!
