"I happened to meet the Bull Demon King not long ago. He was worried about his son, so he asked me to come and check on him," Shen Bing said. "And to thank you for teaching Red Boy, Bodhisattva, the Bull Demon King prepared a treasure and entrusted me with delivering it to you."
After sending those words, Shen Bing immediately watched Bodhisattva Guanyin's expression.
The first half of his statement was naturally fabricated. The Bull Demon King had never asked him to check on Red Boy.
Of course, he had his own reasons for saying that.
Bodhisattva Guanyin certainly lived up to her reputation for great mercy and compassion, keeping a gentle smile on her face throughout. Any other immortal would probably have picked up a broom and chased him away! He was practically suggesting that she abused children.

As for the Heaven-Pacifying Great King's gift, please take it back! The boy's meeting with me was a matter of karmic affinity," the Bodhisattva said.
Shen Bing was hardly going to give up that easily. Karmic affinity is all well and good, but you can't stop me from completing my mission.

"Please don't refuse just yet, Bodhisattva! This is a Buddhist treasure, and keeping it won't do the Bull Demon King much good. You would be better off holding on
