Chapter 813 (1/2)
Retracting her outstretched arm, Phoenix swung her wide sleeves and soon the broken scythe appeared in her palm in one piece. It then transformed into prayer beads and circled around her wrist.
Seeing that she no longer had the intention to continue the fight, Little Monk heaved a sigh of relief.
It was then he heard her speaking as she smiled with a slight twitch in her eyes, “I didn’t expect people from Tian Dao to bring along demons when attending the Buddhism feast. Why, is Tian Dao short of money recently?”
Upon hearing Phoenix’s words, the man lifted his apathetic eyes to meet hers.
This was nothing but a typical eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation.
All the G.o.ds and Buddhas felt like they could hear the crackling sound of flickering flames.
Honored Sir coughed lightly.
Little Monk quickly stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Phoenix’s robe, “My lord, you will be grounded. You don’t want it to happen again, right?”
Phoenix glanced down at the little one and touched his head with a smile, “Where’s my food?”
“It’s ready.” Little Monk lowered his voice, “The table with the most food is yours.”
As if he feared that the Emperor might hear it, he spoke with all his strength on his fingertips.
Phoenix raised her eyebrows, “Alright, got it. Eat more and fight less, right? Just take me there now.”
Honored Sir in his ca.s.sock explained on behalf of Phoenix as he watched her walking to her seat, “Phoenix always behaves like this whenever she sees monsters. Sorry to have startled you, Emperor”
The man curled his thin lips into a smile, ” What a beautiful blade! Too bad it’s in Buddhism.”
“Amitabha, are you talking about that scythe, Your Highness?” Honored Sir laughed, “Emperor, if you like it you can take some prayer beads back and refine them for a hundred days to get the blade.”
The man withdrew his gaze and his smile was getting gentler. His eyes seemed to reflect the silhouettes of those demons behind him, “You’re welcome, Honored Sir. It’s not the blade that I’m talking about actually.”
Not the blade? What’s it then? Slightly knitted his eyebrows, Honored Sir did not continue on this topic and spoke to the crowd, “The clearance of the Sea of Blood this time is not just a blessing for Buddhism, but also for the Six Dao. Thanks to the Emperor, a miracle happened. Golden Lotus had gained her human form yesterday. Thus in order to express her grat.i.tude, she will be reciting the buddhist scriptures for a hundred days and spread the blessings to the world!”
The lady who was now a Buddha walked out amidst the billowing clouds as Honored Sir spoke. An aura of elegance radiated as she was in her flowing white ca.s.sock, like a blooming lotus with subtle fragrance in the air.
The lady smiled with a tinge of shyness on her face and sanskrits echoed, “Emperor.”
“So this is Golden Lotus. Being raised up before the Buddha really makes her extraordinary. ”
“But her attainment is still too low, so as her ranking of Buddhism.”
“You shouldn’t be making comparisons like this. Golden Lotus was born in Buddhism and gained her human form after being enlightened by the sanskrits. She is considered purer than other Buddhas who had gone through all the sufferings in the world. It is a well known fact that the Emperor has a particular fondness for those who are pure.”
“If that’s the case, Phoenix was raised up in Buddhism as well. There were 33 strikes of Light of Buddha shone upon h.e.l.l when she was born. It was the True Buddha who brought her into Buddhism. Though she didn’t become a Buddha right away, she is purer than any of us.”
“I know she is pure, but we’re talking about the number one in Buddhism. Honored Sir wanted to pacify Tian Dao and that’s why Golden Lotus is here right now. You can’t expect Phoenix to do this, am I not right?”
“True indeed! After all, there’s no one else with a higher ranking in Buddhism than Phoenix within the Buddha’s gate.”
Even though she got the ranking in Buddhism through countless demon slaughterings, still n.o.body could surpa.s.s her.
Phoenix tended to be quiet when she had something to eat. Matchmaking was never her cup of tea. It was just that Little Monk beside her kept on winking at her, which was obviously asking her to not fight with the Emperor.
