Chapter 526: In the end, it still couldn’t be avoided…

Looking at this little red ball of yarn, Wang Chen fell into deep thought.

Wang Chen had never seen such a strange species before.

She also didn’t know where this species had come from.

While Wang Chen was lost in thought, Gou Dan was already fighting with this Dream-Eating Tapir.

As for Gou Dan, although its memory hadn’t fully recovered and it didn’t remember what this strange-looking creature was…

However.

Relying on its intuition.

Gou Dan was certain!

This chimera-like thing in front of it was definitely an existence akin to an ancient Divine Beast.

After all, this little thing smelled very delicious!

Gou Dan felt that it had definitely struck gold.

If it ate this chimera just like that, it would certainly be extremely nourishing.

So Gou Dan acted as if it had been injected with chicken blood, determined to drag this prey away. Then it would sprinkle cumin, coat it in honey…

It wouldn’t give any to that stinky human; giving it to him would be too much of a waste.

However, what Gou Dan didn’t expect was…

Gou Dan had originally thought it could easily subdue this chimera species.

But this chimera’s combat power was actually quite shocking to a dog!

Gou Dan found that no matter what it did, it couldn’t seem to subdue it!

As they fought, Gou Dan and this chimera species pulled apart.

Only then did Gou Dan notice.

This chimera’s owner was still watching from the side.

Gou Dan could sense that this chimera’s owner’s Realm was definitely not low.

Moreover, this female human’s Buddhist nature was amazing!

Now that this chimera had an owner, things became quite difficult.

Gou Dan felt that even if it won against both of them and took this female human’s pet back to cook…

What if this female human went to complain to that stinky human Lin Xun? What would it do then?

If that stinky human Lin Xun found out, he would definitely look for trouble with it.

Consequently.

Despite being very reluctant.

Gou Dan gave up its entanglement with the Dream-Eating Tapir.

Although Gou Dan was still very greedy for the Dream-Eating Tapir’s body.

Reason still told Gou Dan not to eat the other party’s pet.

Otherwise, being hung up and beaten by Lin Xun just because it ate someone’s pet would be extremely not worth it.

So, Gou Dan spat at the Dream-Eating Tapir, then turned around arrogantly and waddled toward another place, continuing to search for its own prey.

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

The Dream-Eating Tapir, which had just been continuously ravaged by Gou Dan, returned to Wang Chen’s side.

The Dream-Eating Tapir’s head kept rubbing against Wang Chen’s pant leg.

Its eyes were watery.

It seemed to be recounting the grievances of being bullied by that strange fellow just now.

Wang Chen watched this strange creature walk away, its little butt swaying continuously.

Wang Chen’s large, watery eyes also blinked gently.

From this strange creature’s body, Wang Chen smelled Big Brother Lin’s scent.

Without waiting for Gou Dan to go far, Wang Chen picked up the Dream-Eating Tapir and followed behind this little red ball.

Wang Chen followed Gou Dan forward.

And this Gou Dan sensed Wang Chen following beside it.

Gou Dan stopped in its tracks, turned around somewhat curiously, and looked at the woman in front of it in confusion.

Wang Chen gently stroked her Cassock and slowly crouched down:

“Little fellow, who is your master? Is it a Cultivator named Lin Xun? Can you take me to see him?”

Wang Chen spoke gently to Gou Dan.

Hearing Wang Chen mention the name Lin Xun, Gou Dan was slightly surprised.

Gou Dan hadn’t expected this female human to actually know that fellow Lin Xun.

Then Gou Dan sniffed hard and smelled the sour stench of love.

Does this female human like Lin Xun?

Someone actually likes Lin Xun?

Why would anyone like that kind of person?

Gou Dan tilted its head, looking at the woman before it, finding it extremely inconceivable.

Furthermore, the woman before it had an extremely thick Buddhist rhyme.

Buddhist dao rhyme continuously swirled around her body.

One could say that this female human was extremely predestined with the Buddhist Path.

Yet such a human had actually developed mortal feelings for Lin Xun.

Moreover, the mortal feelings she had for Lin Xun hadn’t even caused her to fall into the Mortal World!

Truth be told, the dog felt quite curious about Wang Chen.

Even in ancient times, it had never seen a woman practicing the Buddhist Path.

Interesting, this was truly interesting.

“Can you take me there?” Seeing that this strange creature didn’t react, Wang Chen asked again.

Gou Dan nodded, then led Wang Chen toward its mountain peak.

In Gou Dan’s view, this woman was definitely Lin Xun’s mistress.

Since that was the case, it would just bring this woman over.

Perhaps that stinky human Lin Xun would even reward it, and it could continue to come out and play next time.

Soon, Gou Dan brought Wang Chen to the mountain peak where Lin Xun was located.

The dog was the first to return to the courtyard, its teeth tugging at Lin Xun’s pant leg.

“Hmm, why are you back already? Did you eat and drink your fill so quickly?”

Lin Xun was also quite surprised that this dog had rushed back so soon.

In Lin Xun’s view, he had finally given it a bit of free time.

This Gou Dan should have played like crazy and wouldn’t return so easily.

“Woof…”

Gou Dan barked, as if it had turned into a real dog.

Then Gou Dan used its tail to point outside the courtyard.

Lin Xun looked toward the outside of the courtyard following Gou Dan’s tail.

At this moment, Wang Chen, carrying that chimera Dream-Eating Tapir, had already arrived outside the courtyard.

When he saw Wang Chen, Lin Xun was momentarily stunned.

And Gou Dan was still by Lin Xun’s pant leg, wagging its tail incessantly as if claiming credit from Lin Xun.

When Wang Chen saw Big Brother Lin, a flash of joy naturally crossed her eyes.

“Big Brother Lin…”

Wang Chen happily walked into Lin Xun’s courtyard.

However, seeing Big Brother Lin’s current appearance, a bit of confusion entered Wang Chen’s heart.

Why had Big Brother Lin become bald now?

Big Brother Lin was even wearing monk’s clothes.

Could it be that Big Brother Lin had entered the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land?

“Did Big Brother Lin join the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land?”

Wang Chen looked into Lin Xun’s eyes, her own blinking gently as she spoke somewhat innocently.

The joy in Wang Chen’s eyes seemed to grow even thicker.

For Wang Chen, Lin Xun becoming a monk seemed to be something extremely worth being happy about.

Actually, it made sense when one thought about it.

After all, for Wang Chen, her wish was to be with Big Brother Lin forever.

As long as Big Brother Lin entered the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land, then Big Brother Lin would be able to accompany her forever.

As for whether Big Brother Lin could marry her, it didn’t matter.

In any case, as long as she could be with Big Brother Lin forever, it was fine.

“No, I haven’t. I haven’t become a monk.”

Lin Xun quickly denied it.

“Oh…”

Hearing Lin Xun’s denial, a look of disappointment flashed through Wang Chen’s eyes.

“…”

Lin Xun, on the other hand, was somewhat confused.

Why do you look so disappointed because I didn’t become a monk?

Something is slightly wrong with you!

“Is Big Brother Lin reading Buddhist scriptures?”

Only then noticing the Buddhist scripture placed on the table, Wang Chen asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s right.

Since I need to go to that Forbidden Land of your Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land, that’s why I have to read Buddhist scriptures.

That Old Monk said that reading Buddhist scriptures can increase my Buddhist nature.

Then when I go to that Forbidden Land, I won’t be rejected so severely.

It’s just that these Buddhist scriptures are far too profound.

Even with annotations, reading them gives me a huge headache.”

“Then let Wang Chen teach Big Brother Lin these Buddhist scriptures.”

Wang Chen looked at Lin Xun with blinking eyes.

“There’s no need for that.”

Lin Xun refused.

“Go prepare for the Buddhist Path Convention. I’ll just look through them on my own. Even if my Buddhist nature doesn’t increase much, it’s not a big deal.”

“It’s alright.”

Wang Chen shook her head.

“As long as I can be with Big Brother Lin, even if I don’t participate in the Buddhist Path Convention, it doesn’t matter.”

“You…”

Lin Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he flicked Wang Chen’s forehead.

“I’ll do my things, and you do yours. That’ll be fine.

This Buddhist Path Convention is very important for you, so you must work hard.

Whether it’s that Buddhist Son or Mo Wenwen, they are both rare Geniuses.

Of course, I believe you will definitely be able to win against them.”

“Mm, as long as Big Brother Lin wants Wang Chen to win, then Wang Chen will win for Big Brother Lin to see.”

In front of Lin Xun, Wang Chen nodded.

Looking at Wang Chen’s obedient and dazed appearance, Lin Xun’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn’t know how to start.

“Alright, then I’ll look forward to your victorious return, Wang Chen. It’s getting late, so you should head back first.”

Lin Xun reached out and patted Wang Chen’s head.

Wang Chen’s clean and pure eyes just kept looking at Lin Xun.

It seemed that for Wang Chen, no matter how much she looked at Lin Xun, it was never enough.

“Big Brother Lin, can Wang Chen stay with Big Brother Lin tonight? Wang Chen doesn’t want to go back.”

Wang Chen grabbed Lin Xun’s sleeve, standing straight in front of him, her delicate body unmoving.

“That won’t do. How can a girl stay the night with me?

Besides, if the Old Monk found out about this, he’d probably risk his old life to kick me out of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land.”

Lin Xun resolutely refused Wang Chen.

He knew that Wang Chen didn’t actually have any other intentions; she just wanted to accompany him.

But while Wang Chen had no other thoughts and didn’t want to do anything else…

If this were to spread, what would other people think?

This concerned Wang Chen’s reputation.

The coming period of time was extremely important for Wang Chen; he couldn’t let her reputation be tarnished.

This would absolutely be devastating for Wang Chen.

Otherwise, Wang Chen wouldn’t even need to compete for the top position anymore.

“But didn’t Big Brother Lin live with Wang Chen back then?

We even slept on the same bed mat.

Why is it not okay now?”

Wang Chen asked with blinking eyes.

Wang Chen was referring to the time when she first met Lin Xun.

Many things had happened back then, and Wang Chen had followed Lin Xun to travel the world.

At that time, Lin Xun and Wang Chen were indeed together.

Not only did they live together, they even had even closer contact.

“No, no! This is definitely not okay!”

Lin Xun shook his head resolutely.

“Back then was back then, now is now. The situation is completely different.

In short, you head back first, Wang Chen.

I’ll be here for a long time.

If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll even be going to the Nether Abyss.

So you don’t have to worry at all about me leaving immediately.”

“Well, alright!”

As for Wang Chen, although she still really wanted to stay, since Big Brother Lin told her to leave, she would listen to his words.

“Then Big Brother Lin, can Wang Chen come to see Big Brother Lin again tomorrow?”

“The Buddhist Path Convention is in a few days, so don’t come for now. Otherwise, it will affect your preparations for the convention.”

“In that case, I understand.” Wang Chen nodded thoughtfully.

“You understand? What do you understand?”

Lin Xun always felt that what Wang Chen understood was very different from what he was trying to express.

“Tomorrow I will tell Abbot Grandfather that I’m withdrawing from the Buddhist Path Convention.

That way, I’ll be able to accompany Big Brother Lin all the time.”

Lin Xun: “…”

Hearing Wang Chen’s words, Lin Xun was momentarily speechless.

Lin Xun knew that what Wang Chen understood was almost completely different from what he had said.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh.

Regarding Wang Chen’s persistence, it wasn’t that Lin Xun found it complicated or troublesome.

“Wang Chen, listen to me. This mountain peak where I’m staying really has many eyes and ears; you’re very likely to be discovered.”

“In that case, Big Brother Lin should stay at my mountain peak. There are no other people at my peak.”

“…”

Lin Xun was speechless again.

But Lin Xun thought about it carefully and found that what Wang Chen said actually made some sense.

Living in this place, there were indeed many people coming and going.

But Wang Chen’s own mountain peak was independent.

If he moved there, then surely no one would find out.

This way, it could ensure Wang Chen focused on preparing for the Buddhist Path Convention, while also allowing her to teach him the scriptures.

And then he wouldn’t be discovered by others.

Thinking about it this way, it was simply killing three birds with one stone.

The only problem was whether that Old Monk would agree.

But so what if that Old Monk agreed, and so what if he didn’t?

Could he actually stop him?

Besides, even if this Old Monk didn’t agree, what of it?

Lin Xun agreed to Wang Chen’s suggestion and followed her to the mountain peak where she resided.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard, Complete Tranquility, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Complete Tranquility sighed heavily and shook his head.

“Sigh, in the end, it still couldn’t be avoided.

Perhaps he really is the final tribulation for Wang Chen to attain Buddhahood…”
