The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

”Pursuing beauty is my lifelong belief.” Man Qin looked at Tianmiao, her eyes seductive like silk.

”Thank you for your recognition. But I’m not interested.” Tianmiao smiled, ”I just want to eat quietly, is that okay?”

Man Qin pretended not to understand, and continued to move closer to Tianmiao.

”Benefactor, this young lady has said she wants to eat quietly,” the monk said coldly at this moment.

”What, are you jealous? You’re jealous because I changed my target? It’s too late for you to change your mind now. I think she’s better,” Man Qin laughed teasingly.

However, the next moment she felt an immense pressure, even a murderous intent.

She had chased this handsome monk all the way; this monk had always advised her with a good temper, never had she felt any impatience or anger from him, but now she truly felt anger and murderous intent.

A wise girl doesn’t suffer immediate losses!

Recognizing the situation, Man Qin stood up, smilingly looked at Tianmiao, and threw her a flirtatious glance, ”Beauty, see you next time.”

After saying this, Man Qin took the ”elevator” downstairs.

The monk stood up, bowed to Tianmiao, and apologized, ”Sorry, it’s all because of this poor monk that the young lady has been troubled.”

”It’s no big deal.” Tianmiao smiled lightly, said no more, and continued her meal.

The monk sat back down, continuing to eat silently.

Tianmiao finished all her dishes, and then Kong Hou arrived.

”Master, the inn is booked, do you want to go rest now?” Kong Hou asked.

”Fine.” Tianmiao stood up and asked Kong Hou to settle the bill.

After Tianmiao and Kong Hou finished settling the bill and went downstairs, the monk followed behind them. No matter how many streets they walked, he kept following, neither hurriedly nor slowly, always maintaining some distance.

”What does he want?” Kong Hou asked Tianmiao in a low voice.

Tianmiao didn’t answer; she didn’t know either. After her perception was blocked, many things became unclear to her. She could only experience them personally.

When they arrived at the inn, they found the monk was staying there too.

After entering their courtyard to stay, Kong Hou blinked: ”Master, can monks be so rich? This is the most expensive inn in Southwind City. Even with money, it’s not easy to book a room. I used the Sky City token to secure this reservation.”

”Disciples of the Xuanji Sect are quite wealthy,” Tianmiao explained. ”That monk is from the Xuanji Sect, and his rank should be quite high.”

”Huh? Aren’t monks usually living on alms? In other words, begging for food? How can beggars have money?” Kong Hou remained puzzled.

”Monks of the Xuanji Sect are not ordinary monks. Their appearance fees are not cheap; whether it’s preaching or performing rituals, or accepting commissions, the fees are not cheap. Of course, many of their disciples practice outside, doing plenty of good deeds for the world. They have a very good reputation,” Tianmiao continued to explain to Kong Hou.

”Oh, I see.” Kong Hou realized, nodding her head.

”However, the richest one is still Sky City. The combined net worth of the other three sects might not equal Sky City,” Tianmiao added.

Kong Hou remembered the entry tax of Sky City and fell silent.

Kong Hou also recalled one thing: the entire massive foundation of Sky City was built using expensive jade; just that foundation alone might equal the total net worth of one sect.

”However, that monk is very strange,” Tianmiao suddenly said seriously.

”Strange in what way? Is he a fake monk? Is he plotting against you? Should I go beat and interrogate him?” Kong Hou asked eagerly. Since Tianmiao’s perception was blocked, Kong Hou was very nervous.

”I can’t say,” Tianmiao gently shook her head.

The monk at this moment had already bathed and changed clothes, sitting cross-legged on the bed. His mind felt strange too. Upon seeing that young lady, an odd feeling emerged in his heart. What exactly it was, he was unsure.

This monk was not an ordinary disciple of the Xuanji Sect, but the chief disciple of the Xuanji Sect—Master Wuxin. Both in terms of strength and understanding of Buddhist Law, he amazed the Sect Master and Elders of the Xuanji Sect, who all held high hopes for him.

And his steady character, handsome appearance, and ascetic demeanor led many female cultivators to secretly fantasize about him, evaluating him as a jade-like gentleman. Bolder female cultivators expressed their affection, hoping to become that special lady who could make such a high monk return to secular life and create a beautiful story. In reality, foolish and fantastic thoughts should be washed away before sleeping. Master Wuxin’s heart is as solid as a rock, focused solely on the Buddhist path and universal salvation.
