India Captures the Jade Rabbit (Part Fifteen)

Now, Guanyin Bodhisattva, with her compassion for liberating all sentient beings, discussed with Ao Tu the idea of adopting the Jade Rabbit Spirit child to keep by her side.

This is because the child is a divine offspring, born extraordinary.

Guanyin Bodhisattva feared that he would go astray due to a lack of guidance.

After listening, Ao Tu pondered for a moment and roughly guessed that she had misunderstood. He smiled and asked, "Where did you hear about this, Teacher?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva glared at Ao Tu and scolded, "The matter of childbirth is no small matter! What are you laughing at? I happened to hear what that Yaoguai you brought said."

Ao Tu nodded, took her hand, and walked towards the Chaoyin Cave, saying, "I'll tell you in detail inside the Cave Heaven."

Guanyin Bodhisattva, being led by him, asked as they walked, "What? That child isn't yours?"

Ao Tu said, "If I say no, the Teacher will surely ask why it's not true and who it belongs to. It's difficult to explain in a short time, and the teacher won't believe me. Let me demonstrate for the Teacher, and then the Teacher will understand."

Guanyin Bodhisattva then followed Ao Tu into the Chaoyin Cave Heaven.

Ao Tu helped his Teacher onto the soft couch, sat down beside her, untied the Flame Jade from Teacher waist, and then removed half of her Brocade Skirt, revealing her fair and delicate belly.

Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at Ao Tu lightly, then reluctantly removed her white robe, using one hand to unfasten her own undergarments and the other to remove Ao Tu's belt, saying:

"What demonstration? I thought there was some misunderstanding! So this is what it's about. Why do you suddenly want a child? Are you short-staffed?"

Ao Tu knew she had misunderstood again, and with a smile, he grasped the delicate hand of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had already removed her undergarments, and stopped her, saying:

"It's not that we're short-staffed, nor that we want children. If the Teacher continues to misunderstand, it would be beneath her Bodhisattva bearing."

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not seem to mind, and smiled faintly:

"My disciple, how can the majesty of Bodhisattva be attached to physical form? Even if one were completely naked, it would not be a problem."

Ao Tu thought about it and realized it was true. Even if his Teacher were completely naked, it would not diminish his Bodhisattva dignity. He would still be the compassionate and Linggan Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, pure and holy, untouched by worldly affairs, unblemished by dust, and unparalleled.

Outside, Mucha reported, "Sun Wukong requests an audience!"

Ao Tu turned around and instructed, "Tell them to wait outside the Chaoyin Cave, and have your junior sister take Jade Rabbit to hide there."

Mucha said, "How can I obey your orders?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Hui'an, go."

Mucha, having heard the Bodhisattva's instructions, had no choice but to go.

After instructing Mucha, Guanyin Bodhisattva realized what was happening and said to Ao Tu, "Wukong, come here! It must be another scheme you devised!"

Ao Tu nodded and gently placed his hand on his Teacher's soft belly.

The white, smooth belly meat was indeed soft; when Ao Tu first placed it on it, he couldn't hold it down and it slid down.

Guanyin Bodhisattva had no lustful thoughts, and therefore no shame. She smiled Earthly Way, "Disciple, what are you doing? Didn't you say you didn't want a child?"

Ao Tu, equally devoid of lustful thoughts, returned his hand to its proper place and said, "Teacher, please look."

Ao Tu infused the Creation Qi into the body.

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly, bit her lip gently, and said, "Disciple, it's too hot."

Ao Tu withdrew his hand and said, "Teacher's body is extraordinary; ordinary aura cannot remain. Please wait a moment." As he spoke, a few drops of Essence Blood fell from his fingertips and were placed back on Guanyin Bodhisattva's soft belly.

The Essence Blood became even hotter.

Ao Tu could see his Teacher's fair and tender Fleshly Body trembling slightly, his face flushed, and a little sweat beading on his forehead.

After a moment, Ao Tu withdrew his hand, leaving a mark, and asked, "Teacher, do you understand?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said, "The fetal energy in the Jade Rabbit's womb is the manifestation of your lingering essence."

Ao Tu said, "That's right."

At this moment, Wukong, Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the Little White Dragon Horse all arrived outside the Chaoyin Cave and bowed in unison, saying, "Bodhisattva!"

Ao Tu wiped the fine sweat from her body.

Upon contact, the Essence Blood are resonated.

Guanyin Bodhisattva glared at Ao Tu, calmed her aura, and asked from inside the cave, "Wukong, why are you four here on my mountain instead of protecting Tang Sanzang on his Journey to the West to the West?"

Bajie said, "Bodhisattva, we can't get the scriptures!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Why can't you retrieve it?"

Bajie said, "Master is married; we can't possibly bring our whole family to Spirit Mountain to Journey to the West."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Hmm?"

Wukong said, "Bodhisattva, when our master and his disciples passed through the Tianzhu Kingdom, we happened to witness the emperor and Princess choosing a husband. Master barged into the Princess's boudoir and consummated his marriage with Princess. Now even the little monk has been impregnated. Since we four can no longer obtain the scriptures, we divided our belongings and went our separate ways. Sha Wujing is a sinner, so I have come to beg the Bodhisattva. I beg the Bodhisattva to forgive his sins and grant him a job to keep him safe, considering how diligently he has protected Tang Sanzang on the journey without the slightest negligence!"

Sha Wujing kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Please have mercy, Bodhisattva! Please have mercy, Bodhisattva!" As he spoke, he offered the Purple Gold Alms Bowl to Mucha.

Inside the cave, Guanyin Bodhisattva heard these words, looked at Ao Tu beside her, raised her hand and tapped Ao Tu's forehead, saying, "How could Golden Cicada be promiscuous? It must have been your doing!"

This touch stirred up the Essence Blood.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart trembled, she gave a faint snort, and glared reproachfully at Ao Tu.

Ao Tu whispered the whole story to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and said, "Disciple, too close..."

The Essence Blood resonated again.

Ao Tu said, "I have come here to ask you, Teacher, to cover for us and send Wukong and the others away."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was somewhat annoyed that Ao Tu had left his Essence Blood on her abdomen, so she deliberately made things difficult. "Who asks for help empty-handed? Even Wujing knows to offer a Alms Bowl."

Ao Tu said, "I have already given my Essence Blood to my Teacher, isn't that precious enough?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at her own lower abdomen and laughed, "Whoever wants my Essence Blood, quickly take it back!"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "There are no Restriction, so if Teacher don't like it, you can refine it yourself. I don't carry any treasures with me, but the most valuable thing I have is an Eight Treasures Pool. I'll give it to you, Teacher!"

Seeing that Ao Tu was truly about to take the treasure, Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly stopped him, saying, "I don't really want yours..."

The Essence Blood resonated again.

Outside, Sha Wujing, seeing no response from Guanyin Bodhisattva, could only kowtow repeatedly.

After a long while, the voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva came from inside, saying, "I beg the Jade Emperor to exempt you from the flying sword. As for the job, there are no vacancies in my mountains. Go and look for one at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's place! Take that Alms Bowl with you as well."

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing was extremely grateful. Although he hadn't found a job, he was fortunate to have been spared punishment. Moreover, the Alms Bowl had been returned to him.

After thanking them, Wukong and the others, along with Sha Wujing, headed towards the Netherworld Realm.

Inside the Chaoyin Cave, Ao Tu thanked his Teacher and helped her put on her clothes.

This was a misunderstanding by the Teacher, which I solved myself.

"Teacher, this garment is too small. It would be better if it were a bit bigger," Ao Tu said.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "It's not small; you can press it down a bit and it will be fine."

Ao Tu asked, "Isn't the Teacher feeling bad?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "It's not uncomfortable."

Ao Tu said, "Teacher is just trying to comfort me. How could my breathing be unsteady if I wasn't feeling well?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Isn't it all because of your Essence Blood resonance!"
