Chapter 97 This humble monk of Xiawei Temple is truly no match for Benefactor Yu…

What nonsense is this monk spouting?

[This is hilarious! That butter monk is really good at talking nonsense. He doesn't consider the guests on the show as adversaries, does he? Wearing a monk's skin, he really thinks he's some kind of benevolent Buddha? If you're so capable, stop talking and do it! Go and perform a ritual for the other guest in the episode, then end your own life and send the female guest straight out of the episode!]

[The smile of the butter monk reminds me a bit of when I first saw him in the live stream; I thought he would be cunning and shrewd...]

[I also think that smile is off! Could it be that the male guest was deliberately playing the victim to outsmart the other person?!]

[I specifically zoomed in on the female guest's face, hoping to indirectly verify the truthfulness of the monk's words through her reaction, but the female guest didn't show any change in expression at all! Did she believe it or not?]

No, I don't understand at all... I'll just wait and see how the plot unfolds.

Yu Naixin remained calm and showed little emotional reaction to the monk's remarks.

Whether it was a deliberate performance or a sincere statement, Yu Naixin was naturally eager to know the more specific reasons why the butter monk would say such a thing.

However, Yu Naixin could also tell that the butter monk had already been completely honest about this matter and would not explain anything further.

Rather than forcing her to continue asking and risking being deceived or given evasive answers, Yu Naixin felt it was better to take advantage of the fact that the butter monk had clearly stated he would "do his best to answer whatever he knew" to confirm some things she also wanted to know, and that the butter monk would most likely give her the truthful answers to.

Yu Naixin was sitting at the very edge of the platform, her left hand dangling in the air. She bent down to her left and touched the surface of the lotus pond with her left hand, her fingers slightly bent, gently creating a ripple.

"The water in this pool," Yu Naixin began, her tone as if she were making a trivial comment about her earlier casual action, flat and casual, "and the leaves from the Bodhi tree in the front yard, if eaten separately, what is the difference in their effects compared to eating them together?"

After throwing out what he considered to be a significant statement—that he had never regarded "program guests" as "enemies with whom one must fight to the death"—the monk was prepared for Yu Naixin to ask follow-up questions.

Therefore, the butter monk subconsciously kept his nerves on edge and paid extra attention to Yu Naixin's every move.

When Yu Naixin started playing in the water, the monk couldn't help but follow her hand with his gaze.

However, Yu Naixin showed no intention of asking any further questions.

Even the questions that followed had absolutely nothing to do with what the two of them had talked about before.

The butter-flower monk was stunned for a long time before he finally understood what Yu Naixin was asking him.

Butter Monk: "...?!"

In an instant, the monk's pupils shrank sharply.

"...You actually noticed all of this." The monk's tone was filled with undisguised shock and astonishment.

He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile: "This humble monk is indeed no match for Benefactor Yu."

Even this trump card could be easily seen through; he thought he had been discreet enough.

With a sigh, the butter-flower monk told Yu Naixin all the information in this regard: "The Bodhi tree leaves in the temple and the lotus pond water have the same effect. If taken alone, they will paralyze a person's whole body and make them lose the will to resist for about a quarter of an hour, giving this humble monk the opportunity to meet the hunting conditions."

"When these two are taken together, they will cause the person to fall into a deep sleep an hour and a half later, lasting for a full three hours."

[Where do Bodhi tree leaves come from?!]

[I also want to ask, when did the little witch drink the water from this pool? I didn't see it at all!]

Think about that bowl of noodles last night. Adding some ground tree leaves and water to it could easily be done without anyone noticing.

[Holy crap... does the female guest have such a sensitive sense of taste? She could even taste that?!]

The Great Demon King's perception abilities are truly extraordinary; this was evident in many parts of the previous episodes.

Yu Naixin understood.

The water in this pool and the leaves of those three Bodhi trees have anesthetic effects when consumed. Eating just one will cause a three-minute anesthetic effect, and eating two at the same time will give you a free six-hour deep sleep gift package.

Among these clues related to the butter sculpture monks and Xiawei Temple, the number "three" appears quite frequently. The "Lotus Moon Ritual" lasts for three days, there are three rooms on the east and west sides of the front courtyard, and there are also three Bodhi trees and three stone benches. Eating Bodhi leaves or water from the lotus pond alone will numb you for three minutes, while eating them together will take effect in three hours, and the period of unconsciousness will be three hours.

Make a mental note of this, and Yu Naixin glanced at the area outside the lotus pond.

The priest's report to her had already covered everything Yu Naixin wanted to know, including the fact that the gray mist on the screen wall had dissipated.

According to Yu Naixin's own observation, the gray fog shrouding the lotus pond was much lighter than when she had just opened her eyes. She could no longer see the edge of the lotus pond, but now she could see the bluestone slabs outside the lotus pond.

According to the time displayed on the system screen, it is already past 1 a.m.

As time progresses within the "Xiawei Temple" segment of the program, the gray fog that symbolizes the rules and barriers that "Heartbeat 1000%" imposes on the program's guests will gradually dissipate, giving the guests more room for activities and exploration.

Yu Naixin had also heard the priest's explanation from the folding fan: generally speaking, the more guests a dungeon has visited, the sparser the gray fog becomes, and the gray fog concentration is highest in the first dungeon to be cleared.

Yu Naixin understands this very well. After all, she participated in three dungeon shows, two of which were exploration dungeons. In the only non-exploration dungeon, "Swan Castle," the gray fog was almost non-existent, and its blocking function was replaced by the sea of ​​blood-red roses and moonlight outside the castle.

With her powerful perception and a spiritual energy coefficient of over 110, the brightness of the light doesn't have a particularly big impact on Yu Naixin. Even when the viewers in the live stream turn the brightness up to the highest level and zoom in to the maximum, they still can't see clearly, but Yu Naixin can still make out the general outline.

The material, style, and age of the bluestone slabs along the edge of the lotus pond are almost identical to those on the ground in front of Xiawei Temple, and further away, there seems to be the same bluestone floor.

Yu Naixin pointed and asked, "Are all the buildings and objects made of bluestone in Xiawei Temple part of the territory of the headless stone ghost?"

The priest folding fan had personally witnessed the headless stone ghost appear and disappear on the four steps of the east wing of the front yard.

The butter-flower monk nodded: "Yes, Benefactor Yu."

After a pause, the butter-flower monk added, "The whereabouts of the Headless Stone Ghost are unpredictable and uncertain. Please stay in a place isolated from the bluestone as much as possible for your safety."

"Hmm?" Yu Naixin was a little puzzled. "I thought it was because I didn't choose him as my favorite male guest that he was restricted and had to wait until I entered the room before he could appear."

After all, the male guest who is attracted to her will have priority in spending time with her. In order to ensure this right, "Heartbeat 1000%" will definitely impose restrictions on the other male guests.

“That’s right,” the butter-flower monk explained. “However, such restrictions were lifted last night at dusk, and the headless stone ghost may come to the temple at any time.”

Yu Naixin raised an eyebrow: "Judging from what the master said, it seems that you are somewhat wary of the headless stone ghost?"

It's only natural for guests in the same segment of the show to be hostile to each other. As competitors with fundamental interests, it would be strange if they didn't smear each other. The fact that the butter monk wanted her to stay away from the headless stone ghost is understandable from all aspects.

However, judging from the expression and tone of the butter monk when he mentioned the headless stone ghost, this was the first time Yu Naixin had encountered a male guest who avoided other guests in such a way.

It seemed he had no desire to encounter the headless stone goblin.

The viewers in the live chat also noticed this obvious detail.

Is the butter flower monk really that cowardly? I feel like if the headless stone demon came, he would just hide.

[He's a monk, and made of butter sculpture, so he's probably quite fragile and lacks fighting ability.]

[Keep pretending. The contestants in the same segment of "Heartbeat 1000%" won't have a huge difference in strength. Even if there's a big difference in their spiritual power, they'll definitely have other abilities to compete. It's impossible for one side to completely defeat the other.]

[Yes, for example, in the previous episode of "Little Witch's Adventures," titled "Swan Castle," the elf's spiritual power coefficient was dozens of points lower than the vampire's, but he had the bloodline advantage of being the vampire's "father," allowing them to fight evenly. The ghost's spiritual power coefficient was also significantly lower than the werewolf's, but he was a strategist and could easily contend with the werewolf, a physical force. Putting all four of them together creates a more complex balance of power. None of the loopholes in the previous episode of "Heartbeat 1000%" affected this underlying design logic; the production team wouldn't make such a mistake.]

[Exactly! Aren't monks and nuns generally considered to have a natural ability to ward off ghosts and monsters?]

[Doesn't anyone find it sweet that the female and male guests were pouring their hearts out to each other in this beautiful setting, even though the moon was hidden and there were plenty of flowers? I genuinely felt that both guests had opened up a bit, which is extremely rare on "Heartbeat 1000%"!]

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Sincerity is Always the Ultimate Weapon"!]

This question brought another wry smile to the monk's face: "It's more than just fear... that gentleman's destructive power is truly..."

As if to confirm the words of the butter flower monk, before he could finish speaking, a loud and booming sound suddenly rang out not far away, shrouded in thick fog.

Butter Monk: "...?!"

The monk with the butter sculpture immediately changed his expression.

The sound quickly approached the lotus pond. Through the slightly lighter gray mist, Yu Naixin could see the headless stone ghost's tall body charging powerfully towards them, but it could only stop on the bluestone slab at the edge of the lotus pond, unable to get even an inch closer to the water.

The headless stone demon had already raised the crude, huge stone sword in its hand. It was aggressive and clumsy, punching, kicking, and stabbing at the edge of the lotus pond, trying to break through the invisible barrier.

He had no head, and therefore no vocal organs in the conventional sense. He could only utter a muffled, hoarse voice from his irregularly broken neck: "Kill! Kill!! Alien, kill!!!"

Despite having no eyes, the headless stone ghost firmly locked onto Yu Naixin.

[…? Wait, what is this headless stone ghost trying to do, yelling and shouting at the female guest? Doesn't it need to meet some hunting conditions? Doesn't it need to put on a show with the female guest?]

[This is the first time I've ever seen a guest from a dungeon be so rude to the other guests on the show right from the start... Even a domain lord wouldn't attack a little witch right away!]

[Uh, could it be that his hunting condition is simply to kill the female guest outright?]

[Just now, the headless stone ghost silently appeared and disappeared from the stone steps. I thought he was plotting something, but now it seems he not only lacks a brain in a physical sense, but also in reality, acting recklessly and clumsily.]

According to Yu Naixin's measurements after waking up, the lotus pond was a square with a side length of about nine meters, while the central platform was also a smaller square with a side length of about three meters.

In other words, Yu Naixin, who was sitting on the edge of the platform, and the headless stone ghost standing on the edge of the pool were only three meters apart.

At such close range, the headless stone demon's intense killing intent, almost tangible, rushed towards Yu Naixin, bringing her waves of chilling and stinging sensations.

It was only at this time that Yu Naixin truly understood the benefits of increasing her spiritual energy level.

If she still only had a spiritual power coefficient of 10 like in the previous instance, she would definitely be injured and bleeding by now; if she didn't have any spiritual power at all, she would be lying on the ground unable to move by now.

However, she already possessed a spiritual power coefficient exceeding three digits, and was not only unharmed, but could even leisurely observe the headless stone ghost up close.

In fact, Yu Naixin was curious about how the headless stone ghost spoke when she first saw it. She wondered if it used its belly button as a mouth like Xing Tian. Now that she could see it with her own eyes, she had to study it a little.

Seeing that Yu Naixin was completely unaffected by the murderous aura of the headless stone ghost, the butter monk was stunned for several seconds before realizing that he had greatly underestimated the female guest's formidable strength.

"Your spiritual power coefficient..." the butter-flower monk asked in astonishment, "Could it be that it has exceeded 150?!"

"No, it shouldn't just be over 150... Even with my body having a spiritual power coefficient of 144, I was often injured by the overflowing killing intent when I clashed head-on with Lord Headless Stone Demon. Your spiritual power coefficient must be far higher than that!"

When he had some direct physical contact with Yu Naixin before, he could sense that Yu Naixin's spiritual power coefficient was probably over 100, but he didn't expect it to be so much higher!

[Damn, this is the first time I've seen a dungeon guest who self-destructs their spirit power coefficient!]

[Based on the analyses of the experts, the Butter Flower Monk might be feigning ignorance and giving false information; his spiritual power coefficient might not actually be 144.]

[Wait a minute, is the female guest's spiritual power level really that high?! 150?! That's terrifying! She's only participated in a few episodes of the show!]

[Impossible...right? During "Cocoon Village," the little witch clearly had no spiritual power. By "Swan Castle," she should have already consumed the Spirit Awakening Pill and had a spiritual power coefficient of 10. Completing "Swan Castle" would add another 10, making it 20. However, I'm not sure if there's an additional spiritual power coefficient bonus after achieving perfect purification. Let's be bold and calculate it as double, which would be 40. Then, the four male guests in "Swan Castle" also gave her spiritual power coefficients, but...but it couldn't possibly be more than 110 or even more all at once, could it?!]

Hmm... if it's the Great Demon King... it's hard to say... after all, no previous show guests have ever been able to absorb spiritual energy from the dungeon guests, right?

Yu Naixin: "...?"

Yu Naixin was intently observing the headless stone ghost when she was suddenly startled by the astonished exclamation of the butter flower monk.

...A spiritual power coefficient exceeding 150? When did she become so powerful?

However, before Yu Naixin could react, the butter flower monk had already noticed that the headless stone ghost's attack was becoming increasingly fierce.

Seeing that the headless stone ghost was determined to kill Yu Naixin even at a great cost, the butter flower monk could no longer remain indifferent. Suddenly, a layer of golden light emanated from his body, and he soared into the air, rushing towards the headless stone ghost.

Protected by golden light, the butter-flower monk struck the headless stone ghost's chest, a spot not covered by its simple armor, sending the stone ghost flying backward.

The headless stone demon vanished into the thick fog almost instantly.

The sight of such a heavy stone being sent flying was visually striking. Yu Naixin opened her mouth and couldn't help but applaud the butter monk.

Master, what incredible arm strength!

[Heh, I knew it. The butter monk wasn't as weak and harmless as he portrayed himself.]

In most reality TV shows, the first major conflict usually occurs between the main guests and the contestants they're interested in. However, in this particular show, the first major conflict happened between two of the main guests. I can only say that this is truly a reality TV show featuring a "little witch"—there's always a battleground between the male guests...

The technique of surging spiritual energy around her body was definitely not unfamiliar to Yu Naixin. She was already certain that this lotus pond belonged to the Butter Flower Monk. Within this territory, the strength of the dungeon guests could be greatly enhanced, and it would be difficult for other dungeon guests to break through the defenses.

Yu Naixin knew that unless it was an extremely rare mutated fusion instance like "Swan Castle", there would usually be a home scene for each instance guest in the program.

This makes it even clearer why the butter monk insisted on bringing her here to fulfill the hunting conditions; for the guest in the instance, there is no place more reassuring than their own home turf.

However, new problems have also arisen.

How did she manage to cut off one of the butter flower monk's fingers so easily in the butter flower monk's own territory?

Yu Naixin's gaze turned to the Buddha statue located in the middle of the platform, which was also the very center of the entire lotus platform.

Then she discovered that while the surrounding gray fog was dissipating, the gray fog covering the Buddha statue remained unchanged, still as thick as ever.

Yu Naixin's eyes flickered slightly.

What is so special about this Buddha statue?

The butter-flower monk was not distracted by Yu Naixin's applause. He floated in the air at the edge of the lotus pond, staring intently in the direction of the headless stone ghost.

The scene filled with thick gray fog in the eyes of Yu Naixin, a guest on the show, was of course no obstacle to the fellow guest, the Butter Flower Monk, who had a clear view of everything.

He could see that after the headless stone ghost was sent flying six or seven meters away, it instantly fell from mid-air, then quickly stood up and was about to rush towards him again.

Gritting his teeth, the butter-flower monk finally made up his mind and hurriedly said to Yu Naixin, "Benefactor Yu, please do not leave the lotus pond!"

Only within the lotus pond area could he ensure the female guest's safety to the greatest extent possible.

Then, the butter-flower monk plunged into the thick fog to continue his fight against the headless stone demon.

After the butter-flower monk had left the lotus pond for a while, Yu Naixin witnessed the disappearance of the golden light surrounding him.

Yu Naixin: "..."

To be honest, she didn't expect that the butter flower monk would voluntarily give up the blessing of his home field to deal with the headless stone demon.

Even if it was just an act, this performance was done a little too meticulously.

Soon, the sounds of a battle between the butter-flower monk and the headless stone demon could be heard from within the thick fog; the sounds were quite intense.

Yu Naixin appreciated the monk's kindness in inviting her to stay at the lotus pond, but she didn't intend to comply.

It was getting closer and closer to 4:30 in the morning, and the "Lotus Moon Ritual" was about to begin. The two male guests were both holding each other back. Could there be a better opportunity to explore the backyard?

Yu Naixin stood up from the jade platform and tried to touch the Buddha statue with little hope. She was not too disappointed to find that the guests on the show were indeed unable to break through the barrier of the gray fog.

Next was another item on the platform: an offering table. Yu Naixin examined it carefully and found that the offering table was also made of the same jade as the platform. In the center was a bronze incense burner with three burning incense sticks inserted inside. On either side of the bronze burner were bronze plates filled with brightly colored and plump fruits.

There was nothing obviously wrong with it.

Apart from that, there was nothing else on this jade platform.

The water in the lotus pond wasn't very deep, and Yu Naixin estimated that she definitely wouldn't drown, so she bought a waterproof jumpsuit from the system shop and quickly put it on before going into the water.

The water level was just above Yu Naixin's hips. There was a thick layer of mud at the bottom of the pool, and when Yu Naixin stepped in, it covered her shoes. She searched the lotus pond with some difficulty wearing this outfit, but still found nothing.

The area where the butter monks dwelt was located was truly clean.

Wow, the female guest's initiative is as strong as ever.

[The little witch looks so cute in this jumpsuit! She's even cuter when she gets clumsy in the water, waaaaah!]

Would it be more efficient to call the dog out to help with this kind of search? Although I don't really know if it has a sensitive sense of smell...

【! Now you mention it! Why haven't the folding fan and the puppy made a sound all this time? Could they really be stuck outside the screen wall and unable to get into the backyard?!】

The priest's authority over the folding fan and the paper dog is directly linked to Yu Naixin, the owner.

Yu Naixin was led by the butter flower monk to pass through the screen wall and arrive at the backyard ahead of time, so these two special magical artifacts can certainly come over as well.

As early as when she started trying to touch the Buddha statue on the jade platform, Yu Naixin gave the priest's folding fan and the paper dog the order to search other parts of the backyard.

One reason is that Lotus Pond, as the home ground of the Butter Flower Monk, is theoretically the most likely place to hide important clues, and Yu Naixin would feel most at ease coming there herself.

Another reason is that Yu Naixin's view outside the lotus pond is limited, so she lets these two little guys explore first. Even if they can't see things clearly either, at least they can eliminate some places that she doesn't need to go to, which saves more time.

As it turned out, Yu Naixin's prediction was accurate. The entire backyard of Xiawei Temple consisted of vast open spaces paved with bluestone slabs. To the south was the huge screen wall, which connected to the front yard. The east and west sides also had wing rooms, just like the front yard.

Yu Naixin then simply had the priest place the folding fan at the entrance of the east wing, waiting for her to come and join them.

The butter-flower monk seemed to be intentionally leading the headless stone ghost away from the lotus pond. The sounds of their fight never stopped, but they also seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

Yu Naixin could only discern that the two male guests were roughly located in the northwest.

Then let's go check out the east wing, which is further away from them.

As Yu Naixin climbed up the bluestone slabs at the edge of the lotus pond, the paper puppy came running over eagerly to lead the way for its owner.

Without disturbing Yu Naixin as she changed out of her waterproof gear and clothes, the paper puppy obediently waited until its owner was ready before wagging its tail and rubbing its ears against Yu Naixin's shoes. Then it immediately walked into the gray fog, waiting for its owner to follow.

It was almost 3 a.m., and the gray fog in the backyard was getting thinner and thinner. Yu Naixin felt that her visibility was about 10 meters.

They arrived at the east wing without any obstacles. Yu Naixin discovered that the backyard of Xiawei Temple was indeed very large and spacious.

Yu Naixin walked more than 100 meters just from the lotus pond.

Given the vast area, there was certainly plenty of space to build houses on the east side of the backyard, but only three side rooms were built in the middle, with walls on both sides.

Yu Naixin hadn't expected that the number of side rooms in the backyard would be exactly the same as the ones on the same side of the front yard.

However, the backyard rooms are much larger than the front yard rooms; judging from the exterior of the entrance, each room is more than ten meters long.

The doors weren't locked, so Yu Naixin opened the southernmost room and found ten futons and ten low tables neatly arranged inside. Nine of the futons and tables were arranged in three rows and three columns, with only one futon and table at the very front.

This corresponds perfectly to the abbot, the Butter Flower Monk, and the nine monk NPCs.

This must be the place where the butter flower monks and NPC monks meditate and do their homework. Yu Naixin walked around and also saw wooden fish uniformly placed on a shelf in the corner, which were also made of jade.

There were no other items. After measuring the room not only with her eyes but also with her feet, Yu Naixin learned that the room was twelve meters long and nine meters wide. The room, which was a total of one hundred and eight square meters, was empty with only so few things in it.

Finding nothing particularly special, Yu Naixin simply changed to the next room.

Then Yu Naixin discovered that the room in the very center was much more spacious than the previous one.

In the same room, there is only one three-tiered wooden bookshelf in the southeast corner, which holds less than ten books in total.

Yu Naixin took a closer look and found that there were only nine books, and these books were all very old. Not only were the corners and covers damaged, but the writing on them was also blurred. She could only vaguely make out that the last character of the title on the cover was the traditional Chinese character "经".

[Is the library at this temple really that shabby?]

[Wow, that's really little! How come such a large room is used to store just a few books?]

[Besides traditional Chinese characters, it seems some books use other languages? What kind of characters are these? The strokes are so flowing!]

[It's all smudged with yak butter, so it's definitely Tibetan script; it's Tibetan Buddhism. But it's faded so much, what difference does it make whether you recognize it or not? You still can't understand what's written.]

After buying disposable PE gloves from the system store, Yu Naixin carefully picked up a book, hoping to find any hidden clues by flipping through it.

However, very few words in the book were legible. Yu Naixin was being careful enough, but several pages still fell off, and one even tore in the middle.

All nine books were identical, extremely fragile, and contained no useful information whatsoever, as if they were merely decorations to prove that this was a temple.

Moreover, the decorations were rather perfunctory.

Having searched for so long without obtaining even a single piece of information, Yu Naixin couldn't help but frown.

When Yu Naixin came out of the room, it was already 4:31 a.m.

The "Lotus Moon Ritual" mentioned in the background introduction of this episode has officially begun, and at least part of the backyard of Xiawei Temple has been opened to the program guests.

Yu Naixin stood at the door of the side room, looking at the backyard that was no longer shrouded in gray fog, and directly felt its vast size.

It's more than 10,000 square meters.

In particular, the large flat area in the middle is only paved with a layer of bluestone slabs, with no flowers, trees or buildings on it, it is large and empty.

The lotus pond is located on the south side of the backyard, not too far from the screen wall. From here, Yu Naixin already looks quite small.

The Buddha statue in the lotus pond was still shrouded in thick fog.

Opposite Yu Naixin, in a completely symmetrical position, there are also three side rooms on the west side, but they are all locked, and the doors and windows look very old, as if they have been closed for many years without being opened.

In the north, at the very center, there is a large building that is over a hundred meters long, but it is shrouded in a thick fog similar to that of the Buddha statue in the lotus pond, so nothing can be seen.

According to the usual practice of temple construction, this should be the main hall of the entire Xiawei Temple, where the corresponding Buddha statues are enshrined.

However, there is already a Buddha statue over at the lotus pond that clearly holds a secret, and it's hard to say what exactly is inside.

The butter-flower monk and the headless stone ghost were right next to this building, fighting so fiercely that dust rose from the ground, and several bluestone slabs around them had been shattered into pieces.

The butter monk looked seriously injured, with bright red or dark red bloodstains all over his body. He had been fighting for two or three hours and was visibly exhausted.

There was some blood on the headless stone ghost, but it was probably not his own, but rather the bloodstains from the butter-flower monk.

Yu Naixin observed her surroundings very quickly, in just a second or two.

In that brief moment, the headless stone demon, several hundred meters away, had already noticed her presence.

Yu Naixin even stood on the wooden threshold of the side room, avoiding direct contact with the bluestone, but this did not have much effect.

It seems that these rooms do have a certain degree of isolation. She was inside the room before, and the headless stone ghost's vision was not disturbed, so it did not notice her.

Of course, it could also be that the butter flower monk gradually lost strength and her control over the headless stone ghost weakened. After all, she spent a few seconds outside when she changed rooms, and she spent more time in the second room looking at books than in the first room.

Yu Naixin leans towards having both qualities, which is why she achieved such good results previously.

In the mind of the headless stone demon, the Butter Flower Monk, a competitor he had fought for so long without being killed, was obviously not as attractive as Yu Naixin. He immediately ignored the Butter Flower Monk and charged straight at Yu Naixin.

Author's Note: I'm back with a super long chapter combining three updates!
