After Xiao Yu finished speaking, his eyes widened in even greater shock.
This nun before him was honestly a bit beyond the pale...
Willowy figure, hibiscus-like face, and an air of transcendence beyond mortal dust lingered between her brows and eyes.
Her temperament carried a sacred purity that brooked no desecration.
Yet her figure was even more exaggerated than Bai Yue's.
If Bai Yue's body was golden proportions everywhere, then this nun's thighs had gone beyond those golden proportions.
Her waist was very slender, but her legs were thick.
Thicker than her waist!
They possessed a plump, luscious fullness; even through that gray nun's robe, one could see their unparalleled sense of strength.
Fat but not tough!
Rich but not greasy...
"Benefactor, this poor nun is Lingxin of Spirit Light Temple. Do you truly wish to buy these Bodhi Prayer Beads? The price can still be negotiated!"
At her question, Xiao Yu hurriedly pretended to inspect the prayer beads, turning them over in his hands.
Her voice was astonishingly pure as well!
It carried a sense of holiness.
It was so different—a brand-new version he had never encountered before!
Listening to her voice, Xiao Yu felt as if his soul had been cleansed.
There truly was such a voice in this world, one that could bring joy to the heart. Every day, Xiao Yu only heard Bai Yue in the Judgment Room cursing at him.
Yet today, a nun's voice had cleansed his soul.
At once, he planned to have a deeper exchange with her.
He directly took out three taels of gold and said, "No need to bargain. I've believed in Buddha since I was young. My Buddha is merciful..."
Lingxin's eyes immediately lit up. She hurriedly clasped both hands over the gold Xiao Yu had extended and pressed her palms together.
Then she bowed with utmost devotion and said, "Amitabha... This poor nun also has a consecrated Chaos Divine Buddha Necklace. It can ensure that you pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame! Only twenty taels of gold!"
"This item was personally refined by Fire Immortal, a great monk of Spirit Light Temple! It wards off disasters! It avoids calamities! Fair to old and young alike!"
Xiao Yu immediately narrowed his eyes.
Looking at the roadside trinket in her hand, he almost wanted to laugh.
Wait... this little nun was scamming people for money too?
Why wasn't she receiving a wicked woman judgment?
Scamming money in broad daylight under the banner of Buddhism?
This was truly outrageous!
Just then, Lingxin took out a jade thumb ring and said, "This is the Qilin Golden Radiance Ring... only fifty taels of gold!! It can ensure that you live to two hundred!"
"Those who leave the secular world do not speak falsehoods. For you to meet this poor nun today is your good fortune~!"
As Lingxin spoke, her eyes began to gleam, and her voice turned intimate. "The price is negotiable... Buddha saves those fated to meet him! It depends on whether you are sincere, Benefactor!"
Xiao Yu instinctively swallowed. "I do want to buy them, but I didn't bring that much money. Why don't you come home with me to get it?"
Lingxin curled her lips into a smile. "This poor nun can wait here~ If you think it is too expensive, you may bargain!"
Xiao Yu rested his chin on one hand. It seemed a little troublesome to lure her somewhere deserted.
He could not use the Jade Maiden Gourd to store her away in the middle of the street. If other cultivators discovered him, he would be finished.
Looking at the necklace and jade thumb ring, Xiao Yu feigned contemplation and said, "Hmm... then the two items together will be one tael of gold!"
Lingxin immediately laughed. "Deal!!! Pay up~!"
Xiao Yu cursed inwardly, Fuck, I gave too much...
He had just been conned like that, and he almost wanted to laugh.
If not for the fact that he believed in Buddha, he would have had to say a thing or two.
Watching Nun Lingxin run away with the money, Xiao Yu felt increasingly irritated.
A modern man like him had not been scammed in northern Myanmar, yet today he had been scammed by a nun instead.
He must have been too busy looking at her legs just now and let his guard down...
Xiao Yu followed after her.
He intended to recover a little interest...
He could not take a loss!
But when he caught up with her, he discovered that the nun had actually gone to a rice shop and bought an entire cartload of rice.
Then she bought some daily necessities as well.
She pushed the flatbed cart away, her eyes brimming with excitement.
Xiao Yu followed behind her. He had thought she would return to Spirit Light Temple, but when he reached the destination, he found an old, dilapidated courtyard instead.
The moment he approached, he heard a group of children shouting from inside.
"Wow~! Sister Lingxin is amazing! Now Yaya won't have to go hungry!"
"There are even raisins! Sister, where did you get the money? Did that old stubborn abbot finally agree to give you some?"
Lingxin shouted reproachfully, "Children, do not speak nonsense. Put these things away and be more frugal. It is wartime, and prices are soaring."
Xiao Yu had already seen the children. Every one of them was dressed in ragged clothes.
Some were even barefoot.
He stood at the entrance and watched Lingxin take clothes from the cart and help the children change into them.
He no longer wanted to trouble her...
This woman deserved to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Just then, a richly dressed woman approached from afar, followed by several servants.
The moment she saw Lingxin in the courtyard, she roared, "You damned nun, you dared to cheat me of my silver! You're courting death! Return the money now!"
Lingxin lowered her head awkwardly and pressed her palms together. "Amitabha... Buddha said..."
Before she could finish, those servants rushed forward.
Xiao Yu had not wanted to meddle in other people's business. He had never thought of himself as someone who would do good deeds.
But when he truly witnessed something like this with his own eyes, he still stepped in.
Even without using his spiritual power, his Nine Yang Divine Body was more than enough to deal with a few ordinary people.
After knocking all the servants unconscious, Xiao Yu turned to look at the richly dressed woman.
After looking at her twice, Xiao Yu cursed, "Why aren't you getting lost?"
Thankfully, she was ugly. If she had been pretty, she would have gotten beaten today too...
And it would have been a vicious beating.
Lingxin recognized Xiao Yu and was momentarily embarrassed.
"Um... I..."
Xiao Yu looked at the dozen or so children hiding in the corner and naturally understood.
During wartime, homeless children like them would have it terribly hard.
Earlier, he had seen requests on the Hehuan Sect mission board from people seeking to purchase virgin boys and girls.
For example, people like Wang Mei, who cultivated wicked arts.
Looking at those helpless, terrified expressions, Xiao Yu slowly exhaled.
He took out another ten taels of gold and gave them to Lingxin. "I have taken a liking to the Buddhist beads around your neck. Sell them to me as well!"
Lingxin instinctively clenched her fists. "I... I won't sell them anymore... Benefactor, thank you very much for what happened just now... The Buddha will bless you..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Yu removed the Buddhist beads from her neck.
Then he put the money into her hand and left.
He should not keep bullying her.
A person needed to have a bottom line...
But the instant he stepped out of the courtyard gate, he suddenly heard the nun laugh inside. "Haha... That idiot really thought I wouldn't sell them to him?"
Yaya beside her also said, "Sister, you're so bad, hahaha. But is this really okay?"
"Who cares? Even if an idiot like him isn't scammed by me, he'll be scammed by someone else... Hehe!"
O(∩_∩)O Lingxin happily clenched her fists. "Tonight, big sister will treat you all to roast chicken!!! Awooo~~~!"
That group of children also shouted, "Roast chicken~~ Roast chicken~~!!!"
Xiao Yu's face immediately darkened. He felt as though his intelligence had been trampled upon.
He immediately walked back inside, his expression exploding. "You fucking..."
Lingxin's eyes instinctively widened when she saw Xiao Yu suddenly return.
The children behind her also shouted, "Oh no! The big idiot is back, attack!!!"
Then the children took out slingshots and aimed at Xiao Yu's crotch...
Xiao Yu immediately became enraged.
He rushed into the group of children, punching left and knocking right.
One incense stick later.
Lingxin looked at the unconscious children, fury on her face. "Are you even a man? They're just children, and you could still lay hands on them?"
Xiao Yu did not care for her nonsense.
He directly dragged her into the dilapidated room behind them.
Lingxin's eyes immediately went wide. "You dare... I am a disciple of Buddhism! If you dare touch me, you will definitely go to hell! You will go to hell!"
Xiao Yu's expression did not change. He tugged at his collar and laughed softly. "To die beneath a peony flower, even as a ghost, is still romantic. If I do not enter hell... who will enter... hell?"
Lingxin was frightened senseless. "Aaaahhh!! I curse you to be reborn as a toad in your next life! I am a Buddhist disciple! If you dare touch me, you will definitely become a toad in your next life!"
"Big brother... don't..."
"Big brother, I was wrong! I won't dare do it again... Big brother..."
Half an hour later.
A few of the children in the courtyard had already awakened.
The moment they woke, they went to feel for their slingshots, still thinking of beating Xiao Yu.
But Lingxin had already been beaten flat by Xiao Yu.
In that moment, she seemed to have lost her faith.
Watching Xiao Yu prepare to pat his backside and leave, her tears fell drop by drop onto the dust-covered table.
In that moment, she truly wanted to die.
Just like that, she had...
If the people at the temple found out that she had broken the monastic rules, she would be finished.
Xiao Yu looked at her pitiful, delicate appearance, then listened to the children outside howling at the top of their lungs.
He felt a wave of speechlessness. "If I weren't considering how you do good deeds, accumulate virtue, and help the weak, I definitely wouldn't be done with you!"
"Fine, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. Here are fifty-two taels of gold. I don't need them anyway, so you can have them all!"
Then Xiao Yu took out all the money he had on him.
When Lingxin saw the gold on the table, she immediately sat up.
Her expression lit up. "You think you can buy me off with these things? Keep dreaming your spring and autumn dream..."
As she spoke, she stuffed all the money into her clothes.
"I don't care for your stinking money..."
Xiao Yu, who had just put his clothes back on, was a little dizzy.
She stuffed away money faster than she put on her clothes...
Could she be a money-grubber?
A money-grubbing nun?
Just then, Lingxin suddenly said softly and sweetly, "Um... Big brother, as long as you give me another fifty taels... I won't report you to the authorities and have you arrested! A promise is a promise!"
Xiao Yu immediately gave her a look of mismatched eyes.
He really had no money left. All he had on him were spirit stones.
"I... I have no money left..."
When Lingxin heard this, her expression abruptly changed and her voice turned icy. "Take care, then. I won't see you out!"
Xiao Yu scratched his head helplessly. If not for the fact that she helped the weak, he would have locked her in the Jade Maiden Gourd no matter what today.
And so he left.
After winding around for a long while, he finally arrived at Spirit Light Temple.
Seeing the extraordinarily prosperous temple, Xiao Yu was dazzled for a moment.
This temple was more imposing than the sect affairs hall of their branch!
Even the tiles on the walls were exquisitely carved!
The roof tiles were gilded, resplendent in gold and jade!
So rich...
Not ordinarily rich!
As he looked around, Lingxin suddenly spoke behind him. "Hehe, if you have no money on you, don't come to Spirit Light Temple and make a fool of yourself!"
"I advise you to leave early! If the Eighteen Bronze Warriors discover that you have no money, you'll be in deep trouble..."
