Little Pingxin looked adorably at Lianshan Xin, blinking her big eyes as she asked softly, "If I said no, would you still let me out?"
Lianshan Xin immediately smiled. "Guess."
Without waiting for Loli Pingxin to guess, Lianshan Xin volunteered, "Of course I would let you out. Just ask Maitreya. I am kindness itself and never force anyone against their will. So long as Maitreya wishes, he can freely enter and leave the Little Black Box too."
Loli Pingxin looked at Maitreya Baby.
What could Maitreya Baby do? He could only nod.
He could hardly expose Lianshan Xin's true colors, could he?
Besides, keeping Loli Pingxin here would let him ask about many details of Netherworld's past dealings with Shakyamuni.
Seeing Maitreya nod, Loli Pingxin perked up. "Then I'm willing to make my home in the Little Black Box. It's much more fun here than in reincarnation.
"It's so boring in reincarnation. There isn't even anyone to talk to."
Lianshan Xin thought that no sensible person wanted to enter reincarnation anyway.
Maitreya spoke up then. "If you leave reincarnation, will it affect its operation?"
Loli Pingxin shook her head. "I'm not that important. I need reincarnation, not the other way around. Besides, I'm very weak right now, weaker even than you. By the Human Realm's classifications, I'm probably only at the Domain Realm."
Maitreya gave Lianshan Xin a subtle look and discovered that his smile had grown even broader.
The Domain Realm is good. I like obedient children who aren't that strong yet.
Otherwise, like Maitreya, they need the Little Black Box to suppress them when they rebel.
Loli Pingxin looked at Lianshan Xin. "Dao Lord Xin, could you practice your fist technique more often?"
Lianshan Xin immediately understood. "You can draw power from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist?"
