Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

But to actually enter the Almsgiving Room with a Monk she had only just met...

She still found it a little hard to accept.

Although Xu Lei was quite handsome.

"Zen Master, please forgive my impudence."

Then she asked, "Why can’t others do it, but you can?

To be honest, I have consulted other Zen Masters from the Buddhist Sect before.

However, not a single one of them dared to claim they could bestow a child upon me through Charitable Giving.

Furthermore, all the physicians and everyone else have said that it is impossible for me to bear a child.

Therefore, I can’t help but suspect...

Could it be that you are terminally ill?

And you’ve heard that I am desperate for a child!

So you plan to use this to deceive me.

And take advantage of me for your own pleasure?"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei said without a change in expression, "Those other Zen Masters didn’t dare, and they couldn’t do it.

That is simply because their abilities were insufficient."

"Are you saying that you are a true Enlightened Monk?"

The Crown Princess Consort added, "That the other Zen Masters are just ordinary Zen Masters.

And you are a figure with true Divine Power, like a Living Buddha on Earth?"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei nodded. "Putting it that way is not entirely wrong."

"If you are such an Enlightened Monk?"

the Crown Princess Consort challenged, "Can you perhaps show me something of your extraordinary abilities?!"

Xu Lei could see that she was indeed hesitant.

’Normally, when faced with such an indecisive female Devotee, I would have just ignored her.’

’But now, after all, I want to bestow my bloodline into the Royal Family.’

’And for now, I don’t have any other good options.’

’It’s quite a coincidence that this Crown Princess Consort can’t have children.’

’Besides, we’ve been talking for so long, and we’re so close.’

Looking at the woman’s charming face and graceful figure before him, he thought about how he would soon be able to hold her and perform a frenzied Charitable Giving.

"Fine."

Xu Lei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, this humble Monk will show you my extraordinary abilities!

Of course, a monk’s cultivation is very precious.

It cannot be squandered carelessly.

Therefore, this humble Monk will only show you once!

You must watch closely!

If you miss it, there will not be a second chance!"

"You’re really going to demonstrate?"

The Crown Princess Consort was stunned for a moment, then said, "If I am so fortunate as to witness it, I will certainly watch with reverence!"

Apparently, her earlier question had just been a casual one, born from her indecision.

"Allow this humble Monk a moment to prepare."

Xu Lei said, "Benefactress, please wait a moment."

「A few minutes later.」

Xu Lei once again faced the Crown Princess Consort.

"These are two copper plates."

Xu Lei said to the Crown Princess Consort, "This is an Iron Bowl!

Benefactress, please inspect them.

In a moment, this humble Monk will show you how to make a coin pass through the Iron Bowl.

Oh, and also check the tabletop for any hidden mechanisms."

"Huh?"

The Crown Princess Consort said in surprise, "You’re going to perform a magic trick for me?"

"Magic tricks are false wonders."

Xu Lei said, "What this humble Monk is about to show you, Benefactress, is a true wonder.

If you wish to consider it a magic trick, you may."

’That’s right.’

’I’m about to perform some of the magic tricks I learned on Earth.’

’Of course I’m not going to display any real mystical abilities just to gain her trust.’

’A few simple magic tricks from Earth should be good enough for you.’

’If she still has doubts after this, I’m done playing games with her.’

’Let her be childless for life.’

"No problem."

The Crown Princess Consort didn’t waste words. After taking the Iron Bowl and the copper plates, she examined them and said, "They’re just ordinary copper plates!

The tabletop is fine too, just an ordinary tabletop."

"Watch closely!"

Xu Lei took the items back, placed one copper plate on the tabletop, and covered it with the Iron Bowl. "Alright, let’s begin!

Now, this humble Monk will activate my power!

Next up is the moment to witness a miracle!"

With that said, Xu Lei slapped the copper plate in his hand against the Iron Bowl.

The copper plate in his hand vanished, and two copper plates appeared under the Iron Bowl.

"That’s quite amazing."

The Crown Princess Consort smiled. "However, this is a bit like a common folk trick.

Zen Master, although I do not know the principle behind it,

when I traveled incognito in my younger years,

I saw similar tricks among the common people."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Xu Lei just smiled faintly and said, "In that case, this humble Monk will show you another."

’That last trick wasn’t actually very sophisticated.’

’I did that on purpose.’

’I want to gain this woman’s trust as quickly as possible and then complete the Charitable Giving.’

’So I’m deliberately performing some simple magic tricks.’

’The idea is to make her think that I’m just someone posing as a Living Buddha by relying on some clever but unorthodox tricks.’

’Anyway, performing a few tricks should give her an excuse.’

’An excuse to get over that hurdle of hesitation in her heart.’

’After all, most of the time, women just need a pretext.’

’Just a comfortable way out that makes them feel better about it.’

’Besides, as long as I really do bestow a child upon her later, it won’t count as deceiving her.’

’By then, I will have achieved my goal,’

’and she can avoid being childless for life.’

’A win-win.’

’It’s practically a meritorious deed.’

’As for later, she’ll definitely be surprised how she actually got pregnant after sleeping with me.’

’But I can handle that. Each time I perform the Charitable Giving, I can give her some ordinary tea or something to drink.’

’I’ll make her mistakenly believe that I actually have medical skills in this area.’

’That I used medicine to cure her infertility.’

’And I’m just acting under the guise of a Living Buddha.’

’Anyway, with a mix of truth and lies, reality and illusion...’

’...I can achieve my goal without getting entangled in karmic repercussions.’

"Alright."

The Crown Princess Consort propped her chin on her jade-like hand, blinking her beautiful eyes as she asked, "What trick is it this time?"

"This is a bolt,"

Xu Lei said, taking out two small items. "And this is a nut."

"Inspect them. See if there are any problems."

"What I’m going to do next is make the nut unscrew itself from the bolt, all on its own."

This was a magic trick from the Spring Festival Gala on Earth.

When he was on Earth, Xu Lei had once looked into it.
