Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 468 A Strand of Obsession

Feng Siyue was stunned.

This is... God!?

How could there be a god at Lu Rongtai?

The Buddha raised his eyes and instantly understood her thoughts. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, female benefactor, my name is Jingshi."

Feng Siyue snapped out of her daze, clasped her hands together, and bowed her head.

"Amitabha."

The young man was dressed in a golden cassock, as if giving instructions, or perhaps speaking his last words.

“This thing is evil. It is already dead and cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation. Now, I only have a wisp of obsession left. I hope that you can grant me a request.”

"In return, this Spirit-Nourishing Pearl will be given to the benefactor."

The Divine Pearl?

An antique golden wooden bead appears, resonating with a Zen-like quality, carrying a sense of emptiness and purity.

This aura is somewhat similar to his.

A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Siyue's eyes.

At the same time, Qingqing's slightly teasing voice rang out, "A divine artifact? These humans are really generous~"

Giving a magical artifact to a stranger—is that what a truly kind person is?

Artifact?

Feng Siyue glanced down at the bead and refused, "My cultivation is too low, I'm afraid I can't help you, I'm sorry."

She didn't want to get involved.

The young man did not retract his outstretched hand, seemingly certain that she would accept it.

"Don't rush to refuse, benefactor. I only need you to pass on a few words for me, and besides, you need this bead right now."

Feng Siyue remained silent, her refusal quite evident.

A golden glint flashed in the young man's eyes, as if he could see right through people. "His body is crumbling inside, teetering on the brink of collapse. He is obsessed with his own desires, and has become mad and demonic."

“Female benefactor, self-salvation is the best course of action.”

Self-salvation?

Feng Siyue finally scoffed, "My life was given to me by others, how can I save myself?"

"Monk, I admit that you Buddhists are quite good at judging people, but you don't think you can get me to do things for you with just a few words, do you?"

What can be affected is always the weakness.

Weaknesses can also be traps.

Even when the woman uttered seductive words, the young Buddha's expression remained unchanged.

"Benefactor, what is your purpose?"

The woman's lips curled slightly. "I can pass on a message, but I also want to ask the master a question."

Feng Siyue wasn't afraid of him hitting her, nor was she worried that he would refuse or not cooperate, because Qingqing was still there.

Qingqing was her support.

As she expected,

"Please speak, benefactor."

Feng Siyue asked, "Master, please give me a definite answer: is the Longevity Tree here, and if so, where is it?"

The young man paused slightly, but still told her.

"Thousands of years ago, the human race also attempted to find the Wood of Immortality. The Heavenly Destiny Pavilion of Zhongzhou activated the divine artifact Heavenly Destiny Stone and obtained information about the eternal prosperity of Qinghe."

"But before we could even get it, the war between gods and demons came to its final battle."

Feng Siyue was twirling Buddhist prayer beads in her hand at some point. "So, the only certainty is that it's in Yongsheng, Qinghe?"

Unexpectedly, this legend was actually deduced by the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion.

Jingshi nodded.

"Yes, I don't know the exact location."

Feng Siyue's mind raced with thoughts, and after a long while she said,

"What's the message?"

The young man clasped his hands together, leaving only the Divine Pearl floating in mid-air. "Amitabha. Obsessions cannot be eliminated; look upon it, and countless obstacles will be broken."

That's all.

Feng Siyue nodded, indicating that she had remembered. "What did you mean by 'too late' just now?"

The young man lowered his head, his gaze falling on the black plant. "I have been fighting this thing for a thousand years, and both of us are already severely injured."

"But for some reason, it gradually regained its vitality, which should have weakened along with it. I cannot let it go, and I have decided to take this opportunity, while I still have the ability, to put an end to it completely."

Feng Siyue raised an eyebrow.

"Then isn't this last bit of obsession of yours..."

The young man smiled slightly.

"It's all just an obsession, so why fear life and death?"

The woman remained silent. "Master, have mercy."

The young man shook his head and closed his eyes.

He transformed into a ball of fire and pounced on the plants.

In an instant, the plant began to sway wildly!

Countless black energies materialized and struggled to escape, but were bound by the chains of the scriptures and dragged back into the flames.

Feng Siyue seemed to hear the screams of countless evil spirits.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

This black aura... demonic energy!?

After a dozen or so breaths, only a piece of dead wood remained.

Qingqing sensed for a while, "His presence is gone."

Gone.

That means it has completely vanished from the world.

Feng Siyue reached out, and the Spirit-Nourishing Pearl fell into his hand.

The moment she touched it, her mind cleared instantly, and most of her emotions, such as hatred, self-blame, and sadness, were sealed away.

Even her gaze carried a hint of pity.

Qingqing remembered a question and asked curiously, "You didn't ask who he brought it to, yet you already knew who that person was?"

Feng Siyue looked at the bead, then put it into her purse. "Don't you think he looks a lot like that person from Luoxue Temple?"

The one at Luoxue Temple?

Qingqing thought for a moment, then nodded.

"They do look somewhat alike."

Let's stop here.

Feng Siyue reached out, and the Azure Lotus Spirit Flame bloomed, burning the withered wood, yet the withered wood remained completely unharmed.

She didn't continue. "Qingqing, you give it a try."

"it is good!"

Qingqing flapped her wings and landed in front of the withered tree. Pure and powerful Azure Lotus Spirit Fire surged out, and the withered tree could not withstand it and turned into ashes little by little.

However, something else seemed to have appeared in the ashes.

Feng Siyue squatted down, brushed aside the ashes, and saw a black and gold bead.

The gold was covered in dust, while the black emitted a faint glow.

"what is this?"

Qingqing looked at it closely, and after sensing it for a moment, she exclaimed, "Such dense demonic energy...and divine power too?"

The little guy's eyes lit up with interest.

interesting.

The power of gods and demons?

Could it be that the demonic plant regained its vitality because it was nourished by the demonic energy within it? But why didn't that god discover this bead?
