A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 587: Good Disciple, Your Master Will Take You West
Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Good Disciple, Your Master Will Take You West
Monk Liao Kong’s words gave Princess Ata a very bad feeling. She instinctively sensed danger.
"Great Monk, why do I get the feeling you intend to use force?" she asked.
Monk Liao Kong put his hands together. "Amitabha. This humble monk has come to receive his disciple. This is the Buddhist fate between this humble monk and his disciple!"
"Great Monk, let me be clear. She’s just a four-and-a-half-year-old child! If I, this princess, hadn’t encountered this, then so be it. But since this princess has encountered it, you want to take the Eldest Princess of Great Han to become a nun and shave her head? That’s impossible!"
Princess Ata still didn’t know just who this monk standing before her was, nor the extent of his capabilities. In her eyes, the monk before her probably didn’t possess much martial strength. Born in the royal court of Nanjiang, Princess Ata knew little about Buddhism. She certainly had no idea that this great monk, who she perceived as having no martial strength, was the foremost figure in Central Plains Buddhism! His martial prowess was comparable to that of a Grandmaster!
"Amitabha! This humble monk will not waste words with you, female benefactor, today, lest it delay this humble monk’s journey!" Monk Liao Kong finished speaking and attempted to step forward.
The Inner Guards all drew their swords, taking defensive stances. "Stop! Do not take another step forward, or you will be killed without question!"
Monk Liao Kong paid these Inner Guards no mind at all; in his eyes, they were merely embroidered pillows.
"Stop! Didn’t you hear us? If you don’t stop, we’ll show no mercy!"
Monk Liao Kong kept advancing, not taking the threats of the Inner Guards seriously at all. With a wave of his sleeve, the Inner Guards at the very front were sent flying several zhang.
Seeing this, Princess Ata, inside the palanquin, panicked.
This great monk comes with ill intent. I might not be able to defeat him.
Princess Ata’s words registered clearly in Xiaosuisui’s ears. Even at her young age, she could understand the worry in Princess Ata’s voice.
"If you can’t beat him, then run!" Xiaosuisui offered what she believed to be a very good suggestion.
Princess Ata frowned and hastily replied, "Who said I’m going to run? I’ve said that I would protect you! This great monk is indeed formidable, but I also have life-saving talismans on me. I can at least contend with him!"
Princess Ata was not the least bit unconfident when she said this because she hailed from Nanjiang. In Nanjiang, a place where Witchcraft and Gu Insects were revered, she possessed numerous methods of self-preservation.
Hearing this, Xiaosuisui reached out and gave Princess Ata a thumbs-up. "You’re truly amazing!" Then, she casually grabbed a lock of Princess Ata’s hair and yanked it.
"AH... It hurts! What... Why did you pull my hair?" Princess Ata clutched her smarting scalp, looking heartbrokenly at the lock of hair in Xiaosuisui’s hand. "Sob, sob... my hair... I never realized you were such a little terror, you usually seem so harmless!"
Xiaosuisui scratched her head, her face full of apology. "I accidentally pulled too much!" She had only meant to pluck two or three strands, but her little chubby hand had grabbed an entire clump.
"Pluck... You... Are you plucking my hair like it’s sheep’s wool? I’m truly..." Princess Ata was so angry she was at a loss for words.
"I... I really didn’t mean to!" Xiaosuisui clutched the hair, looking utterly innocent.
"Heh! You didn’t mean to? You did it deliberately... Careful!"
As Princess Ata and Xiaosuisui were talking, the old monk over there had already dealt with all the Inner Guards at the front. His hand shot out, aiming to grab Xiaosuisui on the palanquin.
Princess Ata quickly cried a warning, sending a palm strike towards Monk Liao Kong. Monk Liao Kong neither dodged nor evaded, directly taking Princess Ata’s palm strike. His hand still shot straight for Xiaosuisui’s collar.
But Xiaosuisui was no pushover either. Her martial prowess was not weak. It was only because of that brainwashing wooden fish artifact from Qixia Temple, with its disorienting sounds, that she was afraid of Buddhist practitioners.
The instant Monk Liao Kong’s hand grabbed Xiaosuisui’s collar, Xiaosuisui’s left hand shot out. From the bracelet on her wrist, several silver needles shot towards Monk Liao Kong’s heart!
Monk Liao Kong, realizing it late, retreated repeatedly, his eyes sharp. "Amitabha! Eldest Princess, lay down your butcher’s knife and attain Buddhahood on the spot!"
Xiaosuisui didn’t care about any of that; she didn’t understand it at all. "Cut the crap, old monk! You didn’t bring that broken wooden fish today, did you?"
Xiaosuisui leaped directly from the palanquin, landing to face Monk Liao Kong. With her hands on her hips and her little head tilted up, she looked at Monk Liao Kong opposite her.
Monk Liao Kong flicked his hand, and a wooden fish floated out before him. "Are you asking about this?"
Seeing this thing, Xiaosuisui’s scalp went numb. She jumped up and yelled, "Princess Ata, run quickly!"
Princess Ata was taken aback by the words and momentarily stunned. However, before she could even ask, Xiaosuisui had leaped more than ten zhang in a single bound. The old monk also vanished with a flicker of his figure.
Princess Ata’s expression changed drastically. She hurriedly chased after them. On the deserted street nearby, there wasn’t a soul in sight, yet a large and a small figure were locked in an intense, inseparable battle.
Princess Ata caught up and immediately joined the fray. With her assistance, Xiaosuisui immediately felt a sense of relief. Finding an opportunity, she grabbed Princess Ata’s collar. "Princess Ata, hold me."
Princess Ata: "?"
She instinctively picked Xiaosuisui up, just in time to hear Xiaosuisui shout, "Princess Ata, Feifei!"
Instantly, Princess Ata’s feet left the ground, and then she leaped onto a rooftop.
"This... you... your lightness skill... is so good... AHH..." Before Princess Ata could finish her sentence, Xiaosuisui carried her as she leaped to another rooftop. "Slow down, slow down! At this speed, I feel like you’re running faster than a horse!"
As Princess Ata said this, Xiaosuisui carried her and leaped down from the rooftop. The moment they landed, Princess Ata’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
"Aiyo! Finally off the rooftops! The old monk didn’t follow. We can now..."
Princess Ata hadn’t finished speaking when her words caught in her throat. In the next moment, she saw Monk Liao Kong appear out of thin air before them.
"Amitabha. My good disciple, don’t run anymore. Obediently go west with your Master!"
Hearing this, Xiaosuisui retorted with a low shout, "In your dreams!" Then, she gathered her Qi, intending to fly while holding Princess Ata, but her expression suddenly changed.
"You can’t circulate your Qi, can you?" Monk Liao Kong said. "Your Master has already set up a Buddhist Sect’s confinement array in this area. As long as you are within this array’s range, you cannot circulate your Qi."
No way to circulate Qi... that means I can’t fight back. Am I really going to be taken away by this Great Monk Liao Kong?
Thinking this, Xiaosuisui kicked her short legs and jumped down from Princess Ata’s embrace. She gave Princess Ata a push. "Princess Ata, you go quickly!"
Princess Ata was pushed a few steps away by her. However, she did not leave. Instead, she took a jade flute from her own storage pouch and grasped it in her hand.
