"You're the real fairy!" Li Xiaonan fumed, but his gaze fell on Qing An.
With a string of Peach Wood Prayer Beads in his left hand, a palm raised to his chest, and a Golden Bowl cradled in his right, Qing An's serene expression indeed resembled that of a compassionate monk. Unfortunately, Li Xiaonan thought of him as nothing more than a piece of wood—rotten wood at that!
Qing An tossed the prayer beads into the air, where they spun continuously. He uttered a sharp command, "Om..." The beads suddenly expanded, and as Qing An slowly pronounced the five syllables—ma, ni, ba, mi, hum—one bead became large enough to crush Li Xiaonan's head.
Li Xiaonan gaped in shock. Having been lectured by his grandmother since childhood, he recognized this as the most revered six-character mantra in Buddhism. His inner thoughts raced: No! This can't be a coincidence! The Starry Illusion Continent must be connected to Earth in some way.
While he was lost in thought, the prayer bead had already moved above his head, tightly binding him. Stunned, Li Xiaonan thought: You want to bind me? Let me show you the power of the Heavenly Gang Golden Body!
He channeled True Essence Power through his arms, attempting to break free from the bead's grip. To his surprise, it backfired; the bead shrank instantly, constricting his slender waist like a vice.
He gasped in pain, "Ouch!" His heart raced with fear: How could this happen? Where is my Heavenly Gang Golden Body?
If Harmony Technique was his greatest reliance for cultivation, then Heavenly Gang Golden Body was his strongest asset in battle. In the past, he could charge forward recklessly due to his tough skin and flesh. Now that this greatest support had suddenly vanished, he felt vulnerable.
"Boss!" Chen Yaojin exclaimed anxiously. If he had caused harm to his leader, he would never find peace again. Struggling to get up, he pounded his chest and opened his mouth wide, ready to use Swallowing Heaven Avenue to devour Qing An. Seeing this, Li Xiaonan shouted urgently: "Little Jin, shut up! It's not your turn to intervene!"
Enduring the sharp pain in his waist, Li Xiaonan quickly pondered. If Buddhism here was like that on Earth, it excelled at subduing ghosts and demons. Moreover, with Chen Yaojin injured and vulnerable like meat on a chopping board—this was not good! He had to think of something; without Heavenly Gang Golden Body and with his hands bound, all he had left was his mouth.
Li Xiaonan's bright eyes darted around as he contemplated what to do. Suddenly an idea struck him! The beauty trap! After all, he was now a nine-headed 36D beauty—a goddess level that was hard to come by! Surely he could charm him!
A smirk crept onto Li Xiaonan's lips as moisture filled his eyes. He parted his ruby lips and said softly: "Little... little..." He almost gagged at the thought of calling someone 'little brother.' Being a woman was not easy... Gritting his teeth, he decided to go all out for survival!
He raised his gaze towards Qing An: "Little brother, you're hurting me so much; could you please let me go?"
Beside him, Chen Yaojin felt goosebumps rise all over. His inner thoughts echoed: This is truly a beauty from the mortal realm! Dying under a peony flower is still romantic even as a ghost! Well, I suppose I am already a ghost...
Qing An furrowed his brow for the first time, continuously reciting the six-character mantra. Li Xiaonan felt the peachwood bead chain around him tightening even more. He let out a muffled grunt and cursed loudly, "You damn Bald Donkey, I curse you to never have a wife! Not even a nun or a Taoist priestess will want you! Bastard! Ah! Let me go! Bastard! I'll remember you!"
A hint of pink appeared on Qing An's otherwise unchanged pale face, whether from anger or embarrassment was unclear. His chanting of "Om Mani Padme Hum" did not cease, while Li Xiaonan felt he was about to suffocate. A flush crept onto his fair face, and his mind began to blur. Chen Yaojin watched with concern and shouted, "Boss! Boss!"
It must be said that Chen Yaojin's shout brought Li Xiaonan back to his senses. "Damn Bald Donkey, do you think you're the only one who can chant? I'll recite the Heart Sutra for you!"
With a look of sanctity, Li Xiaonan slowly began to chant the Sound Attack using the eighteen styles: "Avalokiteshvara, when practicing deep Prajnaparamita, sees that all five aggregates are empty and overcomes all suffering. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness; emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness; emptiness is form..."
Qing An's expression changed as he took a step back. Li Xiaonan snorted coldly and continued chanting, repeating the Heart Sutra three times.
Qing An's complexion grew paler, like paper, and suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Xiaonan felt a release in his body and quickly pulled Chen Yaojin from the ground, tossing him into the Seven-Level Pagoda. He also grabbed Liu Guojun and threw him into the Heavenly Jade Ring before taking off running.
Just as Li Xiaonan left, a square-faced Great Monk arrived. This man was none other than the national master of Han Jade City, known by his Dharma name Hui Nian. He supported Qing An with one hand and asked, "What happened?"
Qing An shook his head and fainted.
Hui Nian couldn't help but frown. At that moment, a handsome monk descended from the sky. If Li Xiaonan were present, he would surely think of two words: "Tang Seng."
"Master!"
Hui Nian exclaimed in surprise. He had been destined for Buddhism since childhood and met Master Heart's Desire, which led him to embrace Buddhism. The lineage of Buddhism had long been weak and nearly extinct, so he vowed from a young age to revive it. With some success in promoting both Buddhism and Taoism, he came to Han Jade City.
As the saying goes: small hermits hide in the wild, medium hermits hide in the city, and great hermits hide in the court. Now he held power in the court and repeatedly conveyed Buddhism and Taoism to the emperor. Finally, Han Jade City had reached its current state—monks everywhere and lotus flowers blooming.
Heart's Desire shook his head and said, "You misguided one, do you know your wrongs?"
Hui Nian was taken aback, thinking, "What have I done wrong?"
Li Xiaonan ran wildly, her charming face attracting quite a few admirers. "Miss, you are so beautiful! May I ask where you are headed? Let me escort you!"
Li Xiaonan glanced at the man in white beside the carriage, let out a muffled grunt, and turned into a narrow alley. After several twists and turns, she finally shook off those people. She summoned the Seven-Level Pagoda, slipped inside, and performed a series of hand seals. The Seven-Level Pagoda began to shrink until it was no larger than a small pebble, nearly impossible to notice unless one looked closely.
"Boss!" Chen Yaojin suddenly sprang up from the ground and crashed into Li Xiaonan's chest. Startled, Li Xiaonan jumped back. "What are you doing?"
"Hehe, Boss, why have you turned into a woman? You're quite well-endowed! Can Little Jin touch? After all, I know you're a man," Chen Yaojin grinned mischievously, his fingers wiggling like claws.
Li Xiaonan covered her chest and finally understood why women disliked being groped. If it had to happen, it should at least be by someone good-looking. "You know I'm a man and still want to touch! Pervert! How's your injury?"
Chen Yaojin chuckled foolishly and scratched his head full of spikes. "I'm fine now. If it weren't broad daylight and my cultivation had dropped to just ten percent, I wouldn't have been in such a bad state."
"That's just foolish! I told you to take the Seven-Level Pagoda with you, but you didn't! You brought this on yourself! Recover first; I'll give you a big surprise later." With that, Li Xiaonan sat down on the ground and entered meditation. Although Qing An's six-character mantra had caused him great suffering, it also provided him with new insights.
A day passed before Li Xiaonan awoke from meditation, frowning and clicking his tongue. He felt an impulse to find Qing An and get beaten up again; the insights he had on the Spirit Platform seemed elusive and vanished in an instant, slipping through his fingers.
He sighed but then noticed Chen Yaojin staring at him with drool hanging from his mouth. A mischievous thought crossed his mind.
He shifted from sitting to lying down and giggled, "Little Jin, am I beautiful?"
"…Beautiful…" Chen Yaojin was already in a puddle beneath him—not to be misunderstood; it was just a pool of drool.
Li Xiaonan chuckled and casually tossed Liu Guojun out of the pagoda. "Here you go!"
Liu Guojun blinked as he saw the person in front of him and immediately wet himself in fear. "Please… please don't kill me… I'll give you anything you want…"
"Not killing you would be a betrayal to my brothers!" Chen Yaojin scoffed coldly, gripping his axe with one hand. In a single swing, he cleaved Liu Guojun in half, not even allowing him a final word. Blood gushed from the split in Liu Guojun's skull as Chen Yaojin exhaled deeply, collapsing onto the ground, panting heavily.
Li Xiaonan smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, sending Liu Guojun's corpse to the demons on the second floor. In an instant, nothing remained of Liu Guojun.
He patted Chen Yaojin, who was sitting on the ground, and said with a grin, "Let's go!"
Chen Yaojin paused, "Where to?"
"To find the person you hate the most. As long as this person exists, they will be an obstacle on your cultivation path. Obstacles must be broken, and inner demons must be eliminated!"
"Thank you, boss!" Chen Yaojin's face lit up with excitement; indeed, he needed to find Wang Gousheng.
Li Xiaonan smiled knowingly, "No need for thanks among brothers!"
When Li Xiaonan's spiritual sense located Wang Gousheng, Heart's Desire also found him.
A cool breeze swept through Han Jade City at night, which was no less lively than during the day. In fact, it was even more vibrant—a paradise of entertainment for the sons of nobles and high-ranking officials.
The doors of brothels swung wide open, and young women adorned in finery attracted passing customers.
Several times, unscrupulous individuals attempted to take advantage of Li Xiaonan, but before they could get close, they were sent flying by Chen Yaojin! He was exceptionally fierce that night!
"Hey! What a strong man! Come on over; our girls at Spring Blossom Pavilion love gentlemen like you!"
A woman in a red dress approached Chen Yaojin. He glanced at Li Xiaonan, who nodded in approval, and Chen Yaojin followed the woman.
Li Xiaonan smiled to himself; it was his first time visiting a brothel. However, just as they reached the entrance, they were stopped.
Chen Yaojin glanced at the woman beside him and said, "We're together!"
Li Xiaonan felt a surge of displeasure but had no choice; after all, he was in a woman's body! The deeply ingrained belief of male superiority in the Starry Illusion Continent left no room for women to visit brothels.
As soon as they sat down, a servant girl brought over tea and snacks. Many people around cast unfriendly glances at them. Li Xiaonan, already irritated, slammed his hand on the table. "Ouch..." He immediately gasped in pain.
He was shocked; how could this happen? Even without the Heavenly Gang Golden Body, he shouldn't be this weak. A sense of foreboding crept into his mind. He turned to Chen Yaojin and said, "Little Jin, hurry up and take care of Wang Gousheng. We need to get back to Qingyu City!"
"Yes! Boss!" Chen Yaojin's eyes narrowed as he quickly locked onto Wang Gousheng's location and dashed up to the second floor.
Li Xiaonan frowned, rubbing his reddened and heated palms.
"A beautiful lady indeed! Are you alone? Come on! Give me a smile!"
Li Xiaonan looked with disgust at the pig-faced man wearing a golden crown on his head and slapped his hand away. "Get lost!"
Unexpectedly, the slender wrist was caught in the man's grip. Li Xiaonan stared in shock, Inner Thoughts: My True Essence Power... it's gone?
"Haha, this little girl has some spirit! Come on, sweetheart, let me see you smile! Hahaha! Let's go! I'll show you a good time!"
"Please... let go of me..." Li Xiaonan struggled as he was dragged into a room. Tears welled up in his eyes; for the first time in his life, he felt fear—this sensation was more terrifying than death itself!
