"Pfft," the sound was crisp and loud, filled with disdain and contempt, like a resounding slap across the faces of the Two Sages of the West.

Jieyin's and Zhunti's smiles froze instantly.

The countless Buddhas behind them were so shocked their jaws nearly hit the floor.

She... she dared to spit at a Saint?!

"Destined? This old trick again!"

Xiruan pointed at them with her little finger, her voice childish as she began to scold.

"You bad baldies, can't you say anything else besides this?"

"You say everything is 'destined' with you! I think you two shiny bald heads are the ones most destined for the debt we're owed!"

"Less nonsense! If you don't pay up today, I'll melt you both down, forge you into gold plates, and take you back to be platters for my dad!"

The entire Spirit Mountain fell into deathly silence at her words.

Melt... melt them?

Forge them into gold plates?

Use them as platters?

All the Buddhas felt their brains short-circuiting.

Were these words a human could utter?

These were Heavenly Dao Saints! Undying beings, immortal, with lifespans equal to the heavens!

And she wanted to melt them into platters?

Jieyin and Zhunti trembled with rage. It was happening again, that same line!

This was too much! Utterly too much!

"Senior Brother! This demon is unreasonable! Why waste words on her! Let's just suppress her!"

Zhunti roared, swinging the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree in his hand towards Xiruan.

"Junior Brother, wait!"

Jieyin quickly stopped him. It wasn't that he didn't want to act, but that he was afraid.

Last time, in the Heavenly Court, their Dharma Bodies had been nearly shattered by this little Devil King with that bizarre baby bottle.

Now, this was Spirit Mountain, their lair.

If a fight truly broke out, and they lost again, the Western Religious Sect's reputation would be utterly ruined.

Moreover, looking at the little Devil King below, so fearless and unconcerned, who knew if that madman Tongtian was backing her?

Jieyin decided to struggle a bit longer.

He forcibly suppressed his anger, forcing that compassionate expression back onto his face.

"Little benefactor, you are unaware."

"My West is barren, resources are scarce. My junior brother and I, in order to expand our teachings and save all sentient beings, toil day and night, barely eating or dressing properly..."

He began to pour out his woes, attempting a sob story to gain sympathy.

"Look at this robe, how many eons have I worn it? It's covered in patches."

"Look at my face, it's all worn out from worrying about all beings."

"We are truly poor! Where would we get the money to repay your father?"

As he spoke, he even managed to squeeze out a few tears, fitting for a Saint.

If it were someone else, his acting might have moved them.

However, he was facing Xiruan.

A child with a peculiar mind, who only believed what her eyes could see.

Xiruan listened to his tearful tale.

She glanced down at the ground paved with gold beneath her feet, then up at the palace built from gems in the distance, and finally her gaze fell upon the colossal Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus in the Merit Pool behind him.

Her little face was filled with question marks.

"Are... are you joking with me?"

She pointed at the golden floor beneath her feet and then at the Seven Treasures Pavilion in the distance, her voice childish as she questioned, "You call this barren?"

"Your house is made of gold, and you tell me you can't eat enough?"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old, so easy to fool?!"

Jieyin: "..."

He was choked.

He had forgotten that this little Devil King understood nothing of Merit Golden Light or the Power of Faith.

In her eyes, all these glittering things were just solid... gold.

"Senior Brother, why waste words with her!" Zunti Daoren couldn't take it anymore.

"She's a stubborn little devil! Today, either she tears down our Spirit Mountain, or we'll suppress her!"

Zunti's patience had run out. He decided not to hold back any longer.

The golden wheel of merit behind his head suddenly blazed with light, and an extremely terrifying Saint's pressure descended!

"You little brat! Today, I'll show you what the might of a Saint is!"

Zunti roared, and the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree swept out again.

This time, the seven-colored divine light no longer contained just runes of the Great Dao, but also illusions of the birth and death of small worlds.

He intended to drag Xiruan directly into endless reincarnation, never to be reborn.

Seeing this, Jieyin Daoren knew that the situation could no longer be resolved peacefully.

With a sigh, the Jieyin Treasure Banner in his hand also swelled with the wind, transforming into a golden canopy that blotted out the sun and sky, descending upon Xiruan.

Two Saints actually attacked simultaneously, intending to join forces to suppress a three-and-a-half-year-old baby!

This scene stunned everyone.

"Senior, be careful!"

Wudang Holy Mother turned pale with fright, desperately wanting to rush forward to block the world-destroying blow for Xiruan.

But Xiruan gently pushed her aside.

"Yo! Two against one? That's not playing fair!"

A pure and flawless smile appeared on her small face.

"But I like it!"

Before she finished speaking, a cold mechanical voice sounded in her mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host is being shamelessly ganged up on by superior numbers. Sense of justice is overflowing!]

[Divine Counterattack Option Triggered!]

[Option 1: Immediately kneel and beg for mercy, shouting "Two Saint grandpas, I was wrong." Reward: Western Religious Sect Honorary Disciple title.]

[Option 2: Turn and run, pushing Wudang Holy Mother behind you to use as a human shield. Reward: A medal for being a master of selling out teammates.]

[Option 3: Point at their noses and call them shameless, then smash their Golden Body, pull out their lotus, and let them know why the flowers are so red! Reward: Chaos Bead (fragment), capable of temporarily concealing your form and heavenly secrets!]

Xiruan looked at the three options, pouted, and didn't hesitate for a second.

The first one was too cowardly, not fitting her identity as the "Number One Filial Daughter of the Primal Wilderness."

The second was even worse. She had promised to protect this old auntie; how could she sell out her teammate?

Only the third one was her style!

"I choose three!" Xiruan shouted in her heart without hesitation.

She raised her head and let out a loud accusation at the two giant Buddha figures in the sky.

"You two baldies are so shameless! Two against one and you're ambushing me! You're rotten to the core!"

"Today, I'm not only going to smash your Golden Body, but I'm also going to pull out your biggest golden lotus!"

"Let you know why the flowers are so red!"
