Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 972 - 889: Jade Face Meets Ling’er

Ying Yao looked up at Maitreya Buddha and said, "I have already given you the incarnation of the Buddha, and when the fate is reversed, if the Tathagata has not returned to his position, Buddha Ancestor Wutian should once again rule the Spiritual Mountain and the Thirty-three Heavens, and the position of Buddha will still be yours."

Maitreya Buddha touched his big belly and said with a hearty laugh, "Please thank Buddha Ancestor Wutian for me. Rest assured, as long as I am on Spiritual Mountain, there will be no opportunity for the Tathagata to return to his position."

Ying Yao nodded slightly and said, "I hope so!" His body turned into a stream of Demonic Qi and rushed out of the Great Leiyin Temple, disappearing into the sky.

A beam of Buddha Light blossomed in the great hall, within which Randeng Ancient Buddha emerged.

Randeng Ancient Buddha said calmly, "Buddha, do you think you can stop Duo Bao Tathagata from returning?"

Maitreya Buddha patted his own big belly and sighed, "It’s very difficult!

From what I know of that little fat Duo Bao, he must have made arrangements for his return before he reincarnated. No matter who governs Spiritual Mountain, no matter how the Three Realms change, he will return on time and will never entrust his return to others.

Even if he were to return now, I would not be surprised."

Randeng Ancient Buddha showed a slight smile and said, "The Buddha is indeed wise, so have you already chosen your retreat?"

"These years have not been wasted. In the Highland Tibetan Area, with its vast lands and sparse population, Buddhism has never been spread.

Over the past thirty years, I have established a new sect here, called the Laba Sect, spreading Mahayana Buddhism, and it has now taken root.

Even if the Tathagata returns, we can retreat to Tibet. This time I will not retreat again; the position must be fought for. Randeng Buddha, are you willing to join me?"

Randeng nodded slightly, smiling as he said, "Great good!"

Maitreya Buddha said with a smile, "However, I will not easily give up Spiritual Mountain. What should be strived for, must be strived for. What if it really prevents the Tathagata from returning!"

Randeng Buddha nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared in a flash of Buddha Light.

In a hall on Spiritual Mountain, Qiao Ling’er sat cross-legged on a Lotus Platform, surrounded by Swastika symbols, radiating gold light that enveloped her.

A barrier of gold light split the great hall in half, isolating Qiao Ling’er within it, with hundreds of Arhat Bodhisattvas holding weapons and Magic Treasures guarding outside in the hall, and two Arhats guarding inside the gold light.

Qiao Ling’er’s body moved slightly, immediately drawing the attention of the two guards, who turned their heads to stare at her.

Qiao Ling’er raised her hand and said with a sheepish grin, "A bit numb, just moving around a bit."

The two guarding Arhats silently watched Qiao Ling’er stretch her limbs, with no sign of letting their guard down.

A Buddha Light suddenly bloomed, and from outside the hall stepped Jade-faced Bodhisattva, graceful and pure, flawless.

All the Arhat Bodhisattvas kept their gazes straight, silently watching outside.

Jade-faced Bodhisattva passed through the gold light barrier and said, "You may leave now."

The two guarding Arhats nodded and walked out, disappearing through the gold light barrier.

Qiao Ling’er showed a sweet smile and said, "Jade-faced Bodhisattva, you’ve come again. What delicious food did you bring me today?"

Jade-faced Bodhisattva approached and with a wave of her hand, a table full of fragrant dishes appeared before Qiao Ling’er.

Qiao Ling’er, too weak to complain, said, "Why is it all vegetarian again?"

"It’s your own rule."

"I’ve told you, you’ve definitely got the wrong person. I’m not the reincarnation of any Buddha, and I’ve never wanted to return.

Why don’t you just let me go, miss? I think the current Buddha is doing just fine, I absolutely won’t compete with him."

Jade Face’s face turned a shade of red. Although this wasn’t the first time Qiao Ling’er called her ’miss’, it still made her shy every time. Who would have thought the solemn and dignified Buddha in reincarnation would be so... so... roguish.

Seeing Jade-faced Bodhisattva not speaking, Qiao Ling’er sniffed and curiously said, "Miss, do you smell something?"

"No!"

"Isn’t it strange! How come it turns sweet whenever you appear in this space?"

The Jade-faced Fox gave a slight shudder subconsciously, truly unable to bear him. Her face blushed, and she quickly said, "You should eat your meal now."

Qiao Ling’er flashed a brilliant smile and said, "Miss, are you concerned about me?"

"Eh~"

"Miss, do you know how to make these dishes taste best?"

"Eat them while they’re hot!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"No, it’s me feeding you."

Qiao Ling’er picked up a leaf of vegetables and brought it to Jade-faced Bodhisattva, her face full of smiles saying, "Come on, have a taste!"

Jade-faced Bodhisattva was completely at a loss, the Buddha was feeding her personally, and as if possessed, she stepped forward, opened her red lips, and ate it. Suddenly she came to, her face flushed with panic as she hurriedly walked out.

Stepping out of the great hall doorway, the Jade-faced Fox patted her hot, flushed face, murmuring, "Jade Face, Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy doesn’t want you anymore, are you still thinking about The Buddha? Are you dreaming?"

She walked briskly out, but couldn’t stop thinking of Qiao Ling’er’s appearance and demeanor. Is there a possibility between me and the Buddha? Reason tells her it’s absolutely impossible, but emotion tells her, what if the Buddha just likes an ordinary Bodhisattva like me? I can feel that the Buddha’s love for me is true.

Lost in thought, the Jade-faced Bodhisattva walked out, pondering if she should help the Buddha return to his position. If the Buddha truly loves her, wouldn’t she be the Buddha’s consort after his return? But how should she help the Buddha? Should she rescue Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others?

As she passed the garden, she heard a murmuring sound by a flower bed: "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not."

The Jade-faced Bodhisattva frowned slightly, walked past the flower bush, and saw a female monk sitting among the flowerbeds, holding a flower and plucking its petals while murmuring to herself.

"Ahem~" the Jade-faced Bodhisattva coughed lightly.

The monk quickly hid the flower behind her back, hurriedly stood up, and respectfully said with her head down, "Greetings, Bodhisattva!"

The Jade-faced Bodhisattva said sternly, "What are you doing?"

The female monk hurriedly said, "I~I wasn’t doing anything, just resting here for a while."

Thinking of the Buddha who loved her, and then of the strict rules and regulations of Buddhism, the Jade-faced Bodhisattva, taken as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas admired by the masses, felt maybe the Buddha did love her, but they would never be possible. She forced a slight smile and said, "In Buddhism, cultivation focuses on meditation. Once you know what you want, pursue it diligently, and don’t regret when it’s lost."

Lost in thought for a moment, she said sorrowfully, "Even having a pursuit is a form of happiness. The saddest thing is not even having an opportunity to pursue."

Having said that, the Jade-faced Bodhisattva floated away into the distance.
