Chapter 333 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [9]
Jiang Xiyu, who was awakened at that moment, instinctively trembled for a moment because of his curled-up body. However, because he had been asleep for too long, he did not jump up from the futon.
His thin cat ears trembled, and then he listlessly raised his eyelids and looked in the direction from which the commotion was coming from.
Shiga noticed that he was awake, so he subtly withdrew his hand and looked away.
Only Jiang Xiyu stared at Jinglian with his golden pupils, seemingly displeased by the sudden interruption.
However, his true form makes his actions not only lack any sense of intimidation, but from other people's perspectives, his wide, round eyes are actually quite adorable.
Monks naturally have a lot of compassion for small animals, especially Jinglian, who loves those adorable kittens in the human world. But now, after being glared at by Jiang Xiyu, Jinglian inexplicably found himself unable to move.
However, he did not forget what the kitten looked like in human form. Jinglian was silent for a while, then put her hands together and apologized, "Amitabha, it was your disciple's rudeness."
Shiga nodded slightly, showing no sign of blaming him.
Jinglian had nothing important to do to begin with, and now that the peace had been disturbed, he had no intention of coming in again. He simply stood there and respectfully said, "Buddha's disciple, the task you instructed me to do has been completed."
Shiga responded with an "Mmm" and gently closed the scripture.
Jiang Xiyu looked at his slender, fair hands and suddenly remembered the touch from earlier.
After Jinglian left the meditation room, Jiang Xiyu moved her limbs, then got up, stuck out her buttocks, stretched, and then slowly yawned, revealing her sharp teeth and pink nipples.
After yawning, he obediently squatted down next to Shiga and softly called out, "Master."
When Shiga heard the voice, he looked down at him, and his aura softened somewhat.
He looked calmly at Jiang Xiyu, as if waiting for Jiang Xiyu to say something next.
When Jiang Xiyu met his clear, water-like eyes, he always felt like he was being seen through. He stepped on the futon under his lap and asked, "Master, have I been asleep for a long time?"
Shiga's expression remained unchanged; he simply replied with two words in a calm voice: "Seven days."
Jiang Xiyu frowned, somewhat surprised that he had slept for so long. He figured he must have absorbed too much of Shijia's merit, which was why he couldn't wake up for a while.
Having absorbed so much merit, Jiang Xiyu lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, and felt the abundance of power within his body.
His meridians flowed with Buddhist light, and his power was even more abundant.
Jiang Xiyu could clearly feel that his realm seemed to have risen another level.
Shiga didn't understand what he was thinking, but seeing Jiang Xiyu's small head hanging down, he thought he was not feeling well. After a while, he asked softly, "Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then looked up at Shijia again and shook her head, saying, "No, I feel fine."
As if remembering something, Jiang Xiyu gracefully circled around Shijia, then jumped onto the table and asked Shijia, "Master, how are you? Are you feeling well?"
He fainted, unaware of what happened next or whether the merit within Shiga's body had stabilized.
Upon hearing Jiang Xiyu's words, Keshiga took the initiative to thank him.
He brought Jiang Xiyu back to Cibei Temple that day only because of the aura he had been searching for on Jiang Xiyu. Shijia never thought of using a cat to absorb his merits, nor did he know that this method could resolve his backlash.
Ordinary people cannot withstand such immense merit. Even if this cat can absorb merit, the sudden influx of such power into its body would likely have caused others to lose consciousness long ago.
Jiang Xiyu, however, was different. He digested these merits in just seven days and even used them to improve his cultivation.
Shiga has checked and found that the demonic nature within Jiang Xiyu has been cleansed.
Jiang Xiyu simply said, "It is my good fortune to be able to help the Master."
Upon hearing this, Shiga was momentarily stunned, but his gaze returned to calm after a short while.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Xiyu pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "If you need anything in the future, Master, I can help you."
These were Shiga's fates, and Shiga had long since become indifferent to these backlashes.
He was about to politely decline when Jiang Xiyu seemed to see through his words. He didn't give Shijia a chance and continued, "The Buddha's merits have also greatly increased my magical power."
"However, I'm not quite sure how to use it yet."
As soon as Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, his tail wagged, and his round eyes looked at Shijia with a rather eager expression, clearly hoping that Shijia could teach him.
Although he really wanted to become Shiga's disciple, his statement that he "didn't quite know how to use it" was genuine.
If one wants to use the merits of Buddhism as power, one must learn the Buddhist mindset, and this mindset can only be used by Buddhist disciples.
Jiang Xiyu was not a Buddhist disciple, so he was not qualified to learn. Moreover, there was no precedent in this world for a demon to enter a Buddhist monastery.
However, the lack of such a precedent does not mean it cannot be.
When Jiang Xiyu entered the formation at the Buddhist cave, he also had his own selfish motives.
Since the monks couldn't suppress it, he wanted to try to absorb it himself. After all, he could enjoy the incense offerings from the temple, and wasn't this merit also a form of incense offering? If he took some, he could naturally help Shiga share some of the burden.
As it turned out, he made the right bet.
Therefore, Jiang Xiyu hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to save Shijia's life to have him teach him the Buddhist teachings, and ideally, to become his disciple.
"Master, could you enlighten me? Or may I become your disciple?"
Shiga's cold gaze sharpened for a moment before he said, "I do not accept disciples."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's cat ears immediately drooped, looking dejected.
He refused to admit defeat, gritted his teeth and took a step back, then immediately said, "If I'm not up to it, then I'll be your spirit pet."
Shiga shook his head slightly and said, "I have no need for a spirit pet."
Jiang Xiyu made one suggestion, and Shijia refused it, and he refused with great patience.
Jiang Xiyu went from being a disciple to a spirit pet, and later even lowered his standards as a demon emperor, willing to be a mere ornament, but Shijia politely declined each offer. After being rejected so many times, Jiang Xiyu became genuinely unhappy, squatting on the table, glaring at Shijia with a rather sullen expression.
The overwhelming sense of resentment made Shiga pause, lower his eyes and say slowly, "If you want to cultivate in the temple, then you can cultivate with the other monks. There's no need for that."
At Cibei Temple, anyone who is devoted to Buddhism is considered a disciple of the Buddha.
However, without Shika's guidance, it would have taken Jiang Xiyu a very long time to reach the supreme Buddha realm through his own spiritual practice.
Even if he could wait, his delicate and sickly wife couldn't.
