Chapter 107 The Manifestation of Pure Yet Desire at Xiawei Temple
The front courtyard of Xiawei Temple was exactly the same as Yu Naixin remembered. The square courtyard, less than 100 square meters, was paved with bluestone slabs. There were three rooms on each of the east and west sides. In the middle, slightly to the east, there was an old-fashioned stone table with three stone benches around it. Three Bodhi trees were irregularly distributed near the east and west sides.
The nine monk NPCs were not present at the moment, and the entire courtyard was very quiet.
It was getting dark, but not too late. Yu Naixin looked around and simply jumped off the headless stone ghost's shoulder and sat down on a stone bench next to the stone table.
"Come, come, come!" Yu Naixin waved to the two male guests, "Sit down!"
The headless stone ghost did exactly what Yu Naixin said without hesitation, and this nearly three-meter-tall giant sat down on the stone bench to Yu Naixin's right.
Wait a minute! This stool is fine for most people, but it's way too tiny for a headless stone golem!
I feel like this male guest could sink that little stone bench down with one sit!
Help! (Save the stool!)
The thing that the viewers in the live stream were worried about did not happen.
Just as the headless stone demon was about to touch the stone bench, the entire bench suddenly widened and enlarged, allowing the headless stone demon to sit down comfortably; the size was just right.
This is also why Yu Naixin would directly summon the headless stone ghost.
The entire bluestone within Xiawei Temple is the territory of the headless stone ghost. The stone tables and benches are also made of bluestone, and the headless stone ghost can freely change their shape and location coordinates.
The viewers in the live stream were unaware of this during this simulation, but Yu Naixin and the butter monk were aware of it.
Seeing that Yu Naixin and the headless stone ghost had taken action, the butter flower monk readily agreed and took over the last remaining stone bench to Yu Naixin's left.
In the episode "Xiawei Temple," all three guests sat around the same stone table, creating a harmonious atmosphere, much like a friendly get-together among close friends.
To be honest, seeing such a scene left the butter monk quite bewildered.
How could the headless stone demon who used to either shout for his life or coldly brush past him have such an amicable relationship with him today?
Silently reciting "Amitabha" in his heart, the butter flower monk looked at the sole commander who had accomplished all this—Yu Naixin—with a slightly complicated expression in his eyes.
Without a doubt, this female guest is incredibly talented and her abilities should not be underestimated.
If it were her...would she be able to kill herself?
Yu Naixin seemed completely oblivious to the subtle changes on the other side of the butter monk, and started a conversation with the two male guests with a smile.
The topics of conversation contained no explicit or implicit attempts to extract information; they were all very ordinary and mundane. They even took special care of the slow-reacting headless stone goblin, and the conversation increasingly resembled a casual chat between friends.
The viewers in the live stream were almost numb.
The three of them really seemed to have wandered onto the wrong set; they were completely out of place in any of the other live streams of "Heartbeat 1000%"...
[The female guest had only met the two guest stars for a short time, yet she managed to get them to shake hands and make peace on either side of her. I don't know what to say except "amazing"...]
Having seen so many other reality shows filled with scheming, cutthroat competition, and life-or-death struggles, seeing such a peaceful reality show is actually quite refreshing and interesting.
Am I the only one who feels this is a pity? I was looking forward to seeing the male guests vying for the little witch's affections in a fierce battle. It's been a bit bland as it is now!
I also want to see a dramatic and melodramatic love triangle!
[Hiss, this time the Great Demon King's style on the dungeon show is completely different from the previous two times. It's too gentle and soothing. I have a feeling something's not right. Is there some other reason or something else?]
After chatting for a while, the butter flower monk finally sorted out the jumbled thoughts in his mind. Then, he paused for a moment and belatedly realized that as the proper person in charge of Xiawei Temple, he should entertain Yu Naixin, the guest who had come from afar, as well as the headless stone ghost, his neighbor and uninvited guest.
Shaking his head, the butter-flower monk secretly realized how rude he had been.
He stretched out his left hand to cover the cuff of his right sleeve so that it would not affect his movements. The butter flower monk raised his right hand, and a handful of green leaves flew out of thin air from the Bodhi tree closest to the stone table and landed in his hand.
A surge of spiritual energy arose, and a ceramic teacup appeared on the stone table near the three people.
Yu Naixin and the butter flower monk had the same size teacup, while the headless stone ghost's teacup was several sizes larger, corresponding to the three people's body sizes, which was very thoughtful.
With a flick of his right hand, the Bodhi tree leaves in the butter flower monk's hand instantly transformed from fresh and plump leaves into dried and wrinkled tea leaves, which were then sprinkled into three teacups by the butter flower monk's spiritual power.
The butter-painting monk swept his right hand across the table again, and three teacups were filled with steaming hot water, quietly steeping the Bodhi tea leaves inside.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, so smooth that it was pleasing to the eye. It was obvious that the person had done it countless times and had a wealth of experience.
【Holy crap! Leaving aside the leaves, the teacup and hot water were all conjured by the Butter Flower Monk using his spiritual power?! And it seems this isn't just a trick; the Butter Flower Monk actually used these things to entertain the other two guests, which at least ensures they have a physical form for a period of time!】
[I thought the guests on this episode were unbelievable enough, but they're just as incredible! This male guest used his spiritual power to create physical objects—such an amazing skill—and he did it so casually?!]
[This already falls into the category of rule-based skills, right?! Normally only dungeon guests at the Domain Lord level or guests on shows promoting deities possess this! The Butter Flower Monk, let alone reaching the Domain Lord level, doesn't even have a spiritual power coefficient above 180. How did he manage that?!]
[Butter flower monk...butter flower monk...could it be that because this guest in the instance was "created" himself, he also possesses related abilities?]
Making objects with ordinary materials and creating physical objects with spiritual power are completely different things!
This was also the first time Yu Naixin had witnessed the "creation" of butter sculptures by the monks.
The vegetarian meals I ate during the last simulation were indeed made by the butter monk himself.
Thinking back on the taste of those three vegetarian meals, it can only be described as extremely boring. For a second, Yu Naixin even wanted to try to sell hot pot base to the butter monk.
“Xiawei Temple is poor,” the butter-flower monk said with a hint of apology. “This is all the tea we can offer to our two distinguished guests.”
Yu Naixin chuckled upon hearing this: "Didn't the master already bring out the best tea leaves from the temple for us?"
Butter Monk: "...!?"
The monk with the butter flower on his face showed obvious surprise. He looked at Yu Naixin, not expecting that this female guest would know this.
Yu Naixin remained calm, picked up the teacup in front of her and examined it for a few moments, then said with interest, "The Master gave me the smallest amount of tea leaves, perhaps because he was worried that drinking too much would have side effects?"
The butter-making monks put the tea leaves in very quickly, so fast that most people couldn't see it clearly. But with Yu Naixin's keen observation, there was no secret to it.
During the previous simulation, the monk who made butter flowers told Yu Naixin that the Bodhi leaves and lotus pond water in Xiawei Temple have a certain numbing effect on the guests of the show. If the two are used together, they can make the guests of the show unconscious for three whole hours.
The purpose of the butter flower monk is not to knock out the carnations, so the amount of bodhi leaves should be controlled slightly.
Yu Naixin could sense not only that there were the fewest tea leaves in her teacup, but also that there was the most spiritual energy in it.
The butter-flower monk added the spiritual energy he had previously added to the vegetarian meal to her tea.
The butter-flower monk's own teacup contained only pure, ordinary tea and hot water. The headless stone ghost's cup also had no extra additives; it was simply that the amount of Bodhi tea leaves and hot water was the largest.
Upon hearing Yu Naixin's words, the surprise on the monk's face deepened, and his eyes were filled with shock: "...Even Benefactor Yu knows this?"
[What?! Huh? I missed watching a few hours or even a few days of the live stream. When did the female guest discover these clues?!]
[Damn, I was just saying the Demon Queen was being too gentle and soothing this time, but it was all an illusion! The Demon Queen is still the same Demon Queen, and she's pulled that classic trope again where everyone else is completely clueless, but she already has the key information and victory in her grasp!]
They're all back! The familiar feeling is back!
Yu Naixin did not answer the question directly; she simply blew lightly on the surface of the teacup in her hand and then took a small sip.
Compared to the vegetarian meal, this cup of tea, also made by the butter-making monks, is undoubtedly much better in taste. Yu Naixin can taste the fragrance and slight astringency of the Bodhi tree leaves, as well as the sweetness of the water.
It's a good cup of tea.
"The master's tea-making skills are truly remarkable." Yu Naixin did not hold back her praise. "Especially the spiritual energy contained in the tea is just right, replenishing my energy for the whole day without being too much or too little."
She looked at the monk who made butter sculptures, her eyebrows curving into a smile: "Master, you seem to know a lot about my body~"
She has a sweet smile and a soft voice.
The wording of these words was already quite easy to misunderstand, and the way Yu Naixin said it immediately made the atmosphere between her and the monk drinking butter tea ambiguous.
The butter-flower monk was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. His face flushed red, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid Yu Naixin's gaze, hurriedly saying "Amitabha."
Seeing that her teasing had been so successful, Yu Naixin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Butter Flower Monk is a true master of high aggression and low imitation. He doesn't care when he takes the initiative, and he can even pick her up and take her away without changing his expression. But as soon as Yu Naixin takes the initiative to do something, the Butter Flower Monk becomes shy and helpless, and can't wait to avoid her.
[Oh my god, the little witch's smile is so captivating! This is the embodiment of pure yet alluring, isn't it?!]
[What kind of scene is this, a female demon seducing a young monk?! The female guest is too skilled; what she said wasn't actually that explicit, and her tone and expressions were only slightly seductive, but she managed to hit the male guest's shy spot without offending him!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 6 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "anyici"!]
[It really felt like the female guest effortlessly manipulated the butter monk! She was completely at ease, while he blushed and his heart raced!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "婷婷呀"!]
[Wait a minute, these two guests are flirting here, but what about the other guest? The headless stone ghost seems to have a lot of feelings for the female guest, won't he get jealous seeing her with the butter flower monk like this?]
The headless stone ghost was not jealous.
Yu Naixin didn't tell him to do anything else, so the headless stone ghost continued to do what Yu Naixin had told him to do before—sitting on the stool next to the stone table.
As for people other than Yu Naixin, such as the actions of the butter flower monk, they are all irrelevant to the headless stone ghost.
The headless stone ghost didn't touch the tea that the butter-flower monk brewed for him. He just looked down at the huge teacup in front of him, which was the size of his body, and after confirming that the thing was not a threat, he left it alone.
The viewers in the live stream didn't quite understand, but Yu Naixin did. The headless stone ghost couldn't possibly comprehend something as complicated as "jealousy."
Otherwise, Yu Naixin would never have flirted with the butter flower monk in front of the headless stone ghost.
After teasing them, it's time to get down to business.
Looking around the entire front yard, Yu Naixin casually took another sip of tea and then said, "This Xiawei Temple was also built bit by bit by the master using his spiritual power, wasn't it?"
"Or to be more precise, apart from the bluestone parts and a few isolated features like the three Bodhi trees here, the entire Xiawei Temple was created by you, Master."
