Chapter 223: Destined Union, Linglong Betrays Cloud Mountain Temple

Looking at the treasures in front of him, Tianxuan was at a loss.

“Miss, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. We…”

“What misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding!”

Bai Ze directly interrupted Tianxuan, then took all the treasures from the table.

“Boom!”

A jade stone platform appeared in the center of the room.

“Let’s talk after we leave this place, hurry up!”

Bai Ze used spiritual power to pull everyone to the center of the platform, his claws flying swiftly.

Soon, the platform activated, and everyone instantly disappeared from the room.

The whole sequence was seamless without a hint of hesitation.

……

Three thousand miles away.

“This distance should be safe. With my array formation cultivation, those bald heads definitely can’t catch up.”

Once assured of their safety, Bai Ze immediately took out the treasures from before, preparing to share the loot with Treasure Mouse.

However, Tianxuan showed no interest in these treasures at all and instead looked worriedly at the woman in plain clothes.

“Miss, you can’t do this. Cloud Mountain Temple won’t let you off.”

“I know, so from today onwards, I am no longer a person of the Buddhist sect.”

“If you betray me in the future, even if I fall into Avici Hell, I won’t let you go.”

“Ah?”

Hearing the woman’s words made Tianxuan instinctively gasp.

The others beside him also had puzzled expressions.

Tianxuan: “……”

Don’t scare me like that!

Even if I am charming, I can’t make you fall for me this quickly!

Everyone: “……”

To be honest, this situation was truly hard to comprehend.

Ignoring everyone’s reactions, the woman in plain clothes calmly said, “I’ll go change my clothes. We can talk more about the future later.”

After saying that, she walked straight into a small grove nearby.

“Gulp!”

Struggling to swallow, Tianxuan twitched his mouth and said, “Senior Bai Ze, what’s going on?”

“Don’t ask me, I don’t know what this is about either.”

“They say a woman’s heart is as deep as the ocean; she is human, I am a beast.”

“If you expect me to give you an answer, it’s like expecting Chen Shisan to know what a female cat is thinking!”

Tianxuan: “……”

You really do make a point.

Chen Shisan: “……”

Why bring me into this?

……

Soon, the woman in plain clothes switched to a long, bright red dress, which added a touch of allure to her originally elegant and serene demeanor.

Everyone sat cross-legged, staring at the treasures placed in the middle, and even the usually greedy Bai Ze lost interest.

This whole thing was too bizarre, and if they couldn’t resolve the doubts in their hearts, these things would feel like hot potatoes.

Everyone was deep in thought and silent, with the only exception being the “straightforward” Chen Shisan.

“Miss, do you like Tianxuan?”

“Also, we don’t even know your name.”

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to the woman in plain clothes.

“My name is Linglong. I don’t like him, at least not right now.”

“What do you mean not right now?”

“There is a destined connection between us, so I will come to like him in the future.”

Traditional Simplified

“I was born with a Linglong heart, and after swallowing the seven-color lotus seeds, I awakened a unique divine power.”

“When the time is right, I can glimpse a hint of cause and effect.”

“Three days ago, I saw that you would come to Cloud Mountain Temple, and later Zhi Ze would steal the Vajra Pestle and the seven-color lotus.”

“I also saw that among you, there is a man who will be entangled with me for life, and I will fall in love with him.”

After saying this, Linglong looked at Tianxuan.

Faced with Linglong’s clear and direct gaze, Tianxuan felt uncomfortable all over.

This was all too sudden to process, and it was hard to accept.

At this moment, Chen Shisan continued, “Linglong, since you already knew Zhi Ze would come to steal, why didn’t you prevent it in advance?”

“Fate determines certain events. I cannot change that.”

“Even if I had informed Cloud Mountain Temple in advance, Zhi Ze would still take those two items.”

“Moreover, if I plant a bad cause, it would bear bad fruit.”

“After the conflict occurs, Zhi Ze would destroy the seven-color lotus.”

“Rather than that, I might as well directly give you the lotus seeds and lotus roots so that at least the seven-color lotus won’t be severed.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shot disdainful looks at Zhi Ze.

Stealing someone else’s things and doing such ruthless acts, that’s really shameless.

In response to the scornful looks from the crowd, Zhi Ze seemed unfazed, grinning as it spoke.

“Oh, is that so?”

“It seems like this lord really has a connection with Buddhism.”

“Speaking of which, today I have to say a few words to you.”

“Since you already knew we would be family, why hide it so sneakily?”

“Why not just tell the bald heads from Cloud Mountain Temple, then we can set up a few dozen tables and become in-laws, wouldn’t that be better?”

To Zhi Ze’s words, Linglong shot it a disdainful glance and said, “I have practiced Buddhism since childhood and have never had any worldly thoughts.”

“If I suddenly tell the elders in the temple that I will have feelings for a stranger, do you think Cloud Mountain Temple would believe me?”

“Regardless, you would still take the seven-color lotus and Vajra Pestle.”

“Revealing all of this, Cloud Mountain Temple would probably chase you to the ends of the earth.”

“Also, I am very puzzled as to why I would come to like him, so I made this choice.”

“If I successfully fall in love with him, it proves that fate cannot be changed; I am merely following the trend.”

“If I fail to love him, then it proves that fate can be changed, and I will still retrieve the Vajra Pestle.”

“Saving some renewable treasures to help me clarify my fate, that’s a deal.”

Her straightforward explanation left everyone in silence.

Seeing this, Linglong again turned to Tianxuan and said, “Where do you plan to go next?”

“We are going to the Buddhist Nation to attend the ‘Buddha Fate Grand Conference.'”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

“Ah?”

“You just betrayed Cloud Mountain Temple; it could be dangerous to go to the Buddhist Nation now.”

“As someone I will like in the future, shouldn’t you protect me?”

“But my strength is not as strong as yours; how can I protect you?”

“If you’re weak, you won’t protect me?”

“Or are you worried that after you d*e, I won’t d*e for you?”

Tianxuan: “……”

No, if you say that, I really can’t respond!

Seeing Tianxuan at a loss for words, Qian Bao’er quickly stepped in to mediate.

“Feelings are hard to describe with words; Linglong, don’t push Elder Brother Tianxuan too hard.”

“We have only heard of the effects of the seven-color lotus root and seed; could you introduce them to us?”

Hearing this, Linglong finally released the “poor” Tianxuan and explained, “The greatest effect of the seven-color lotus seeds is to awaken one’s innate divine power.”

“However, awakening innate divine power depends on personal opportunity.”
