Chapter 1821: Uncle Monk Presents the Official Seal
Little Taotie didn’t see corpses all over the ground, nor did she see those Spiritual Bodies; she only saw a monk almost fully materialized standing in the center of the ancestral hall.
Little Taotie wanted to hug the big tail, but embraced nothing. Feng Qi turned around and retracted the tail, turning her paws into hands, completely looking like an ancient costume beauty in red, leaving no trace of her fox form.
Little Taotie hummed slightly in grievance, but due to the presence of an outsider, she did not act spoiled or demand Feng Qi to bring out the big tail.
Little Taotie tilted her head, looking curiously at the monk, her childish voice full of doubt: "Uncle Monk, are you a Spiritual Body or a living person?"
He was too materialized, making it hard even for Little Taotie to distinguish.
The monk, kind and gentle, smiled and said, "This humble monk is neither a Spiritual Body nor a living person."
He had attained enlightenment and become a Buddha, considered a Buddhist Cultivator.
"We are destined, so I shall give you something," the monk suddenly said.
Little Taotie blinked her big eyes. From Uncle Monk’s head, she saw a blooming, pure white lotus flower, emitting a soft glow, with faint ripples surrounding it.
"Giving me a meeting gift upon our first meeting?" Little Taotie’s little face turned red, not expecting Uncle Monk to like her so much. She shyly fiddled with her fingers, "I can’t just accept it!"
Feng Qi’s lips twitched.
You don’t look like you can’t accept it at all. Your eyes are full of curiosity and sparkling like you are dying to know what he will give you!
Feng Qi rubbed her forehead, choosing to remain silent.
But in the next moment, Feng Qi was stunned, surprised as she looked at her now-empty palm.
Just a moment ago, the Official Seal was in Feng Qi’s hand, and in the next, it suddenly returned to the monk’s hand without warning.
Unexpected that the monk who had united his Three Souls and Seven Spirits, attaining Buddhahood, was so powerful. He took the Official Seal from her hand so effortlessly.
Feng Qi frowned, staring at the monk in displeasure.
That was her trophy!
This monk was too much, taking away all the Spiritual Bodies and now even taking the trophies!
Just before Feng Qi was about to burst out, the monk squatted down, making eye-level with Little Taotie, handing the Official Seal to her, and gently said, "The Official Seal is now yours."
Little Taotie’s big, bright eyes fixated on the Official Seal, feeling a pleasant aura from it. The golden Official Seal was so captivating that one couldn’t look away. This kind of gold seemed familiar, like... the light of Merit?
Little Taotie blinked, tilted her head to look at the monk, meeting his kind and gentle eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Uncle Monk, is this Merit?"
The Official Seal gathered not only the official luck and faith of the people from one lifetime but also the accumulated merits and Faith Power from ten lifetimes following the unification of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
The monk kindly smiled and said, "You can see the Merit, which shows you are destined for it. Keep it. It might be helpful to you."
Little Taotie felt a bit embarrassed, but her small hands honestly reached out; she wanted it.
As the soft, white palm cradled the Official Seal, golden light surged and merged into her palm, integrating into Little Taotie’s body. Little Taotie couldn’t see herself, but in Feng Qi’s view, Little Taotie turned into a Little Golden Baby, though it was only a fleeting moment, quickly returning to her fair, tender, jade-like adorable appearance.
Little Taotie felt warm all over, her little face flushed, exhaling comfortably, her eyes narrowing like a lazy, yawning kitty.
She knew the essence of gift exchange, and after rummaging through her personal bag, she finally found a decent return gift.
She held the gift in her palm, beckoning mysteriously to Uncle Monk, her childish voice saying, "Uncle Monk, open your palm."
