"What do you mean! The Sutra is missing?" Loli asked, her expression agitated. Strangely enough, I felt the killing intent around her dissipate, as if she wasn't truly angry.
I nodded, feeling a bit guilty as I replied, "Yes, Senior! The Sutra is really gone. I just went into that attic; it must have fallen in there. I'll go look for it!"
Just as I was about to head into the attic, Loli grabbed my hand. A smile spread across her face as she cheerfully said, "Stinky monk, you don't need to go in and search! The Sutra is with you! You've already received the old monk's inheritance!"
I looked at Loli in confusion and said, "Senior, I don't understand what you're talking about! The Sutra is definitely not on me!"
I had just searched my entire body and found no trace of the Sutra. In fact, I even suspected that Loli might have stolen it from me and framed me for it.
Loli nonchalantly poked my Dantian with her finger and eagerly said, "Stinky monk, try to sense your Dantian carefully; the Sutra should be inside it."
Upon hearing Loli's words, I felt a bit stunned. I focused my mind and carefully tried to sense the changes within my Dantian.
Originally, my Dantian only contained the magical energy of the Daoist Sect. After my cultivation was destroyed, the Daoist Magic vanished from my Dantian. Now that I had begun practicing Buddhism, I had touched upon the threshold of Buddhist cultivation; a small amount of Buddhist Power now resided in my Dantian, glowing with a sacred golden light.
"Huh? Why does my Buddhist Power have Buddhist Spells?" As I carefully sensed the energy within my Dantian, I initially found no sign of the Sutra. However, unexpectedly, I discovered that the Buddhist Power within my Dantian concealed profound mysteries. Occasionally, Buddhist Sanskrit would flicker and dance; the missing Sutra had transformed into various Buddhist Spells hidden within my Dantian.
"Stinky monk, you are incredibly lucky! The previous Sutra was merely a fragment; cultivating from it wouldn't have much significance. The Sutra within you now is truly complete!" Loli patted my shoulder and explained patiently, "It must be that the old monk's spirit appeared and broke the Sutra into pieces, embedding it into your Dantian. From now on, as long as you have enough magical energy, you can directly cast the Buddhist Spells within you without needing to comprehend or cultivate further!"
"Uh! Senior, how do you know all this so clearly?" Upon hearing Loli's explanation, an ominous premonition suddenly surfaced in my mind.
"Before you, six monks had already inherited the old monk's wishes, so naturally I understand some of his methods!" Loli blinked her eyes and pulled on my arm. "Stinky monk, stop calling me Senior; it feels too distant! We'll be seeing each other often from now on; just call me Bai! By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Ling, Senior Bai!" I saw the expression on Bai's face, which seemed to cling to me, and my unease grew stronger. I furrowed my brows and asked in confusion, "Senior Bai, I didn't encounter the High Monk's spirit in the attic before. What exactly is the High Monk's last wish?"
The Loli smiled mischievously at me and said, "Jiang Ling, don't worry. The old monk's wish is quite simple. You just need to take care of my daily expenses; there's nothing else!"
"Is it really that simple?" I sighed in relief, unable to believe what I was hearing.
The Loli nodded and replied, "That's right! It's that simple! The old monk will pass on the legacy to you; he should have seen that you are destined for great wealth! I'm not one to spend extravagantly. If you prepare thirty thousand each month for me, that should be enough!"
"Thirty thousand a month? Why don't you just go rob someone?" I was speechless at the Loli's nonchalant attitude. Where was I supposed to earn that much money in a month? Suddenly, I realized my ominous premonition was correct; supporting this Loli was like serving a deity.
"Jiang Ling, you seem unwilling!" The Loli's expression turned unhappy again as she released my arm and said coldly, "I've just run out of money and called a few Water Monkeys over to help me get some pocket money! Since you don't want to take care of me, I won't force you. I'll just have to find a way to make some money myself!"
With that, the Loli turned and walked outside the Demon Manor. Hearing her words made the veins on my forehead throb; I couldn't believe that the incident with the overturned fishing boat outside was actually her doing it for money. It left me utterly speechless. If I left her alone, who knew what she would do next?
"Sigh! This Loli has been cultivating for a hundred years yet remains so childish. No wonder that High Monk wanted someone to take care of her!" I sighed inwardly. I clasped my hands together and bowed towards the room where the High Monk had passed away, saying, "Master, your legacy is a great favor to me! Even if I'm reluctant, I will take good care of Senior Bai; consider it my good deed!"
Inside the attic, the High Monk's spirit stood there with a benevolent smile on his face. He nodded at me and said, "This monk has good insight; it seems I did not choose the wrong person!"
Of course, I couldn't hear the High Monk's evaluation of me. After finishing my words, I quickly turned and hurried after the direction where the Loli had left. I called out, "Senior Bai, wait for me! Let's discuss your monthly living expenses again!"
"Senior Bai, I'm still just a student. I've only been practicing Buddhism for a short time; with my current abilities, I can't earn thirty thousand a month!"
"Senior Bai, I promise you that once I've mastered Buddhism cultivation, I'll definitely earn plenty of money to support you! Can we talk about this again?"
“Senior Bai…”
I chased after Loli as she exited the Demon Manor, continuously explaining myself and making promises, but Loli remained silent.
We reached the entrance of a cave, standing at the edge of a solitary island. Finally, Loli spoke up, saying, “Given your sincerity, I’ll give you another chance! Now, tell me, how much living expenses are you prepared to give me once you achieve mastery in Buddhism?”
I thought to myself, I’ve barely begun my journey in Buddhism. Who knows when I’ll reach mastery? I wasn’t even sure if I could attain that level in my lifetime. After some contemplation, I confidently patted my chest and said, “Senior Bai, once I reach mastery in Buddhism, I’ll prepare one million in living expenses for you every month. But right now, I can only manage two thousand a month. How does that sound?”
I glanced at Loli nervously, fearing she might refuse. To my surprise, she nodded without hesitation, a cunning smile spreading across her face as she said, “Jiang Ling, I accept your terms. Once you achieve mastery in Buddhism, I’ll only need thirty thousand from you each month!”
“That’s a bit strange!” I thought as I looked at the smile on Loli’s face, an ominous feeling creeping back into my heart.
