Chapter 364 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [40]
“Yes…” Jiang Xiyu obediently opened her lips, but then suddenly stopped speaking, as if her breath was blocked.
Yuejia frowned, noticing that Jiang Xiyu's eyes showed no abnormality, but the next moment they turned red as if they were about to bleed.
The blood seemed to drip from his eyes into Jiang Xiyu's eyes.
Yuejia continued her seductive question, "Tell me, where does the merit in your body come from?"
Although she already had doubts in her heart, Yuejia still used "Anger Induction" to ensure that nothing went wrong.
'Anger-inducing' can bewitch the mind. On the one hand, it can evoke and infinitely amplify the deepest greed, anger, and ignorance in the mind of the person being influenced. On the other hand, it can control the mind of the person being influenced.
Once someone is ensnared by 'anger,' no matter what questions the instigator asks or what instructions the instigator gives, the instigated person can only obediently answer and do as instructed, like a puppet.
Yuejia is the abyss of sin; he is born with the ability to incite evil thoughts in people.
However, things are different now. His 'incitement' requires a lot of evil thoughts to sustain it. Some time ago, he just used it on the snake demon.
The person beneath him remained silent for a long time, fueling Yuejia's growing malice.
Jiang Xiyu looked at him and her eyes reddened for a moment, then she stiffly replied, "It came from the mage...".
His voice was completely flat.
Yuejia placed her hand on the side of his face, suddenly leaned closer, and asked again, "Why is he willing to let you absorb these merits?"
"The monk had too much merit in his body, so he suffered a backlash. I absorbed this merit unintentionally."
Too much merit can lead to negative consequences?
It turned out to be the case.
This is actually the case!
Yuejia paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.
The smile appeared incredibly radiant in the backlight.
He understood the stakes almost instantly.
Shiga's boundless magical power was not permitted by the Heavenly Dao in the mortal realm. The Heavenly Dao, which balances the three realms, naturally would not allow anyone to disrupt such peace. Shiga came from the supreme Buddhist realm, which was his true home.
However, he was sent by divine decree to protect the human race. If he remained in the human world, the vows made by the human race would increase Shiga's merit. The more merit Shiga received, the more magical power he gained, and the heavier the shackles of the heavenly order would become.
Although Yuejia didn't know what would happen if the merit within Shijia's body wasn't dissipated in time, receiving this unexpected news was enough for him.
He only needs to create more things to accumulate merit for Shiga, at which point the Demon Emperor will absorb that merit for him, and ultimately, all of that merit will flow into his body.
He was waiting for the day when he would completely replace Shiga and return to the supreme Buddha realm.
Yuejia's eyes gleamed with boundless greed. He paid no heed to the consequences of continuing to use 'Wrathful Induction', and the smile on his lips was alluring and unrestrained.
A sinister aura emanated from his eyes, tracing its path to the corners, exuding an evil aura.
He slowly lowered his head, smiling as he buried his face in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, playing with his jade-like earlobes.
After a long while, he softly exclaimed, "My husband, you are truly my good husband."
He then asked, "If you don't absorb these merits for the monk, what will happen if he suffers a backlash?"
Unseen by him, Jiang Xiyu's golden eyes flickered for a moment, and then the manipulated dark red in his eyes instantly faded.
Hearing the excited words around him, he could already imagine the crazy look on Yuejia's face.
He had to admit that he had indeed been bewitched by Yuejia.
The main reason was that he was unguarded with Yuejia, thinking that he simply wanted merit. He didn't expect that Yuejia would even use a honey trap and try to control his consciousness at that moment.
Jiang Xiyu sighed inwardly, realizing that he had underestimated Yuejia's wickedness.
He has absolutely no sense of shame, and he would do anything to achieve his goals.
This physical body was the least important and easiest thing for him to use.
But Jiang Xiyu liked it very much.
Sensing the urging in her ear, Jiang Xiyu gathered her thoughts, enduring the slight stinging in her earlobe, and obediently coaxed him, "If I don't absorb the Master's merits, then the Master will..."
Jiang Xiyu was about to say that if Shijia's merits were not absorbed, Shijia's magical power would temporarily be out of control.
He did not intend to tell Yuejia that Shijia would become a mortal due to the backlash after his merits deepened.
He said this in the hope that Yuejia would give up the idea of taking action now.
After all, even if Shiga's magic power is out of control, given Yuega's current condition, he is no match for him.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to finish speaking, the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist suddenly became scalding hot.
Suddenly, the dimly lit palace was bathed in a brilliant light.
Jiang Xiyu's pupils narrowed, and he suddenly came to his senses. He raised his hand and grabbed Yuejia's shoulder, pulling her into his arms. He silently recited the Sanskrit that Shiga had taught him to prevent the Buddhist light from the prayer beads from harming Yuejia.
Yuejia was clearly aware that she had overused 'anger', causing the evil thoughts emanating from her eyes to be picked up by the Buddhist beads.
He suddenly gripped Jiang Xiyu's clothes tightly, his face inexplicably turning deathly pale in the moonlight.
The thought of being discovered by Shiga made Yuejia act like a demon out of control. She instinctively wanted to conceal her presence, break free from Jiang Xiyu's embrace, and escape from this place.
Jiang Xiyu hugged him tightly, her gaze sharpening for a moment, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Don't move."
The bloodlust in Yuejia's eyes spread, and his evil thoughts triggered the Buddhist beads. It might not be long before Shiga tore through space and arrived. Yuejia's instinct made him want to escape, but Jiang Xiyu suppressed him, and he couldn't run away.
"let me go!"
Yuejia's tone was as cold as shattered ice, revealing her murderous intent.
Jiang Xiyu knew his unease and murderous intent, but he still did not let go. He simply closed his eyes for a moment and quickly suppressed the strangeness of the Buddhist beads.
In her palm, merit flowed in like a flood bursting its banks. Yuejia's body trembled for a moment. Gradually, as the merit flowed in, the bloodlust in Yuejia's eyes faded, and the unease and killing intent were silently concealed.
Because Jiang Xiyu protected him, the Buddha's light did not burn him at all.
As Yuejia watched the golden light in the hall dissipate like smoke, her tightly pursed lips slowly relaxed, and a trace of blood fell onto her lips.
Jiang Xiyu used her other hand to stroke his face, simultaneously channeling merit into him to suppress the evil energy and soothe him, helping him calm down.
Only when all the merits filled Yuejia's entire body and all her aura was concealed did Yuejia, now free from all restraints, obediently lean against Jiang Xiyu's chest, her body trembling slightly, clearly looking terrified.
He put his arm around Jiang Xiyu's waist and whispered, "Husband, what is that in your hand? I'm so scared..."
Jiang Xiyu concealed the Buddhist beads on his wrist, gently patted Yuejia's back, and said in a low voice, "It's alright, nothing will happen. You stay obediently in the Demon Emperor's Palace and don't go anywhere."
"Everything will be alright, trust me, okay?"
When he spoke his last words, his face was filled with solemnity.
From Yuejia's angle, he couldn't see Jiang Xiyu's expression. His rationality returned, and now that his aura was hidden, even if Shijia came, he wouldn't be able to find him, so he obediently responded.
"I understand, husband."
Unlike his relaxed demeanor, Jiang Xiyu appeared solemn.
The prayer beads were a magical artifact given to him by Shiga to protect him. When Jiang Xiyu did not use Sanskrit to activate them, the prayer beads were no different from ordinary beads. Unexpectedly, tonight, Yuejia used 'Anger Attraction' on him. The prayer beads must have sensed that Jiang Xiyu was in danger, which is why they emitted Buddhist light on their own and captured a trace of evil thoughts.
Shiga had instructed him that if he encountered any trouble, he could activate the prayer beads.
Jiang Xiyu knew then that the Buddhist beads were connected to Shiga, and that Shiga would always appear whenever he was in danger.
As expected, Jiang Xiyu immediately sensed a cold aura, accompanied by endless pressure, tearing through space and suddenly appearing above the First Domain.
Yes……
Shiga has arrived.
