Chapter 108 Xiawei Temple can bear the weight contained within the truth…
The moment Yu Naixin finished speaking, the air in the entire front courtyard of Xiawei Temple fell silent.
The monk with butter sculptures was still bowing his head and closing his eyes, silently chanting "Amitabha." His hands, which were slightly unsteady when they were clasped together, suddenly froze in place.
His eyes were not open, and his movements were unchanged, but his entire demeanor had completely changed.
He transformed from a gentle and meticulous temple abbot into a lifelike and exquisite statue, as if sculpted from the finest jade, emanating a chilling and terrifying aura.
Yu Naixin felt that the butter flower monk looked a lot like the alienation of Rosluna in "Swan Castle".
A perfectly healthy person suddenly triggers a hidden switch, stripping away all the "living" aspects of their body and revealing their inhuman side.
Then, towards Yu Naixin, a real, living person, they showed a sense of rejection similar to that of someone "not of our kind".
【What?! What happened to the butter flower monk?!】
[This situation... is likely a side effect of the female guest touching upon a hidden secret in the male guest's heart. Many key details in reality shows trigger similar reactions; the participating guests may exhibit uncontrollable murderous intent due to the show's guests' exposure or offense. In more serious cases, the participating guests might disregard their own lives and forcibly violate the rules of the "Heartbeat 1000%" show to directly kill the show's guests.]
[Actually, it's just that the guest on the show was angered by the main guests. However, it's not as subjective as simply being angered. Revealing some of the guest's secrets objectively triggers certain reactions from them, making it more mandatory and rule-based. Regardless of the guest's own thoughts, it will still happen.]
[In the previous episode featuring the "Swan Castle" segment, the female guest had already done this many times. However, the male guests either flew into a rage and became hysterical on the spot or were rendered unable to lift their heads by her manipulation. None of them could remain motionless and silently exude a chilling aura like the Butter Flower Monk.]
So what the female guest said was true?! My goodness, this temple is huge! It took the three guests quite a while to walk out of the back area!
[Tsk tsk tsk, I knew this monk looked too kind and benevolent. Sure enough, when it comes to matters of real interest, he reveals his true colors and transforms into a wicked demon.]
The butter-flower monk ultimately did not develop any aggressive tendencies toward Yu Naixin, unlike Luna.
A few seconds later, the yin energy that had been emanating from the butter monk was completely withdrawn from his body, and he returned to his normal appearance, which Yu Naixin was more familiar with.
“Benefactor Yu…” When the butter flower monk spoke again, his tone was full of helplessness, “Next time you want to expose my secrets, please at least choose a time when Lord Headless Stone Ghost is not around.”
Looking up at the headless stone ghost beside him, the butter flower monk couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "The relationship between you, Headless Stone Ghost, and this humble monk is already tense. If this humble monk delays for even a moment longer and lets you sense this resentment, I'm afraid you will fight this humble monk on the spot."
"The Headless Stone Ghost wouldn't care who or what caused this humble monk's resentment. Rather, if the Headless Stone Ghost realized that this humble monk was expressing such resentment because of Benefactor Yu, he would probably become even angrier, and this humble monk would be unable to withstand it."
The butter-flower monk was troubled more than once because he was unable to have sex with the headless stone ghost.
But at this moment, the butter flower monk felt that the headless stone ghost had its advantages in being a little foolish. At least its reaction speed was slow enough to allow him to suppress any aura that might provoke hostility from the other party.
The Butter Flower Monk had witnessed firsthand how much the headless stone ghost cherished and valued Yu Naixin. Based on his understanding of the headless stone ghost, the Butter Flower Monk had no doubt that this stubborn, burly man might very well raise his stone sword at him for Yu Naixin's sake.
The monk's words were so honest that they made Yu Naixin laugh.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Yu Naixin reassured her, "I'll keep an eye on Mr. Stone."
【?! I was prepared for them to get into a fight, or at least exchange words and expressions, but this whole thing was just swept under the rug?!】
[The butter monk didn't seem to care much?! The female guest just blurted out his private information to his face!]
I really feel like these two are exchanging cryptic messages, like two charlatans playing a game of riddles. We, the audience, are completely baffled, but they themselves seem to understand each other perfectly, like they're exchanging secret codes...
[Listen to what the Butter Monk is saying! Isn't he just smearing the female guest's rival?! The Butter Monk is already actively vying for her favor! So sweet!!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 10 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "What's Wrong with My CP Brain?"!]
Yu Naixin said that she did not originally intend to escalate the conflict between the butter flower monk and the headless stone ghost.
Since the simulated butter flower monk was so friendly to her this time, Yu Naixin decided to reciprocate.
Therefore, Yu Naixin chose to reveal so much information to the butter monk at such an early time.
Judging from the performance of the butter monk in the last simulation, it's not hard to see that although this male guest is not exactly the type to keep a secret, it's not an easy task to get information out of him.
For almost a whole day after Yu Naixin officially entered the "Xiawei Temple" program venue, the butter flower monks remained invisible, not showing their faces at all, and taking care of Yu Naixin was all done by other monk NPCs in the temple.
It wasn't until later, when he failed to freeze Yu Naixin's little finger and instead had one of his little fingers cut off, and heard how Yu Naixin so keenly and easily analyzed the clues hidden in his words, that the butter flower monk finally began to reveal some of the truth to Yu Naixin.
The butter-flower monk wasn't afraid that Yu Naixin would find out the truth hidden within him.
The butter-flower monk feared that Yu Naixin, after learning the truth, would not be able to bear the consequences.
Yu Naixin cut his finger, but the butter monk showed no anger or resentment. Instead, he treated Yu Naixin with more honesty. This was because he could tell from Yu Naixin's behavior that this female guest had certain strengths and was not as weak as she appeared on the surface.
The fact that the butter flower monk truly opened his heart to Yu Naixin only began after Yu Naixin, while dealing with the headless stone demon's frenzied attacks, was able to skillfully send him to the lotus pond to recuperate.
The butter-flower monk was not only grateful for Yu Naixin's help, but also realized that Yu Naixin was strong enough to bear the weight contained in the truth.
So this time, not long after she met the butter flower monk, Yu Naixin revealed part of his true nature.
Yu Naixin was telling the butter flower monk that her abilities far exceeded his expectations, and that he could trust her to a certain extent.
As expected, the butter flower monk showed no anger at all.
He was just a little wary of the headless stone goblin, this unpredictable bomb.
Yu Naixin has also been keeping an eye on the situation of the headless stone ghost.
The Rehmannia glutinosa flowers on the snow-capped mountains will wither over time, whether they are watered with special snowmelt or not.
The plant that the headless stone ghost carefully held in its right hand was still very fresh when the three of them first arrived in the front yard, but now it had turned somewhat withered and yellow.
Not wanting the headless stone ghost to watch the Rehmannia glutinosa flower wither, Yu Naixin stood up, walked from her seat to the headless stone ghost, and took the flower.
The headless stone ghost showed no resistance to Yu Naixin's approach, allowing her to take the flowers.
Then, staring blankly at his suddenly empty right hand, the headless stone ghost was stunned for a while before realizing that the Rehmannia flower was gone.
However, he did not go berserk again because of this.
Before this, Yu Naixin had once again held the headless stone ghost's fingers and softly comforted it, "I'll give you another flower like this tomorrow, okay?"
The headless stone demon, very slowly and awkwardly, pointed downwards at its broken neck and uttered a low, muffled syllable: "...Good!"
Oh my god... seeing the way the little witch and the headless stone goblin interact, I don't know why, but I always feel very touched...
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 8 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Little Butterfly Never Gives Up"!]
[Perhaps it's because both sides are very sincere; at least on the surface, both the female guest and the headless stone ghost appear to be very sincere.]
[The female guest's sincerity is to make it easier to gain the male guest's favorability, while the male guest's sincerity might just be due to naivety and a lack of common sense.]
[Hahahaha, I also think the headless stone ghost was always being led by the nose by the female guest, completely under her control.]
As darkness fell, the butter-flower monk pondered for a moment and decided to offer a suggestion: "Benefactor Yu, would you like to go inside and rest?"
"The vegetarian restaurant where you stayed three years ago has been cleaned up. Heyue Temple is deserted, and the other rooms are also empty. If you wish to change to another room, please just inform this humble monk."
Although the headless stone demon, the greatest threat that appears and disappears mysteriously, has been eliminated, there is still a certain degree of danger at night at Xiawei Temple.
After all, for a guest like Yu Naixin, dim lighting and limited vision are inherently unsafe.
Yu Naixin readily agreed with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Naixin had been working intensely on the snow-capped mountain outside the temple all day, and now she was indeed feeling tired and needed to rest.
Upon hearing this, the butter-flower monk secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this skilled and daring female guest might do something else late at night.
Immediately, the butter-flower monk rose from the stone bench and led the way for Yu Naixin: "Benefactor Yu, please follow this humble monk."
Yu Naixin followed naturally.
After a moment of reaction, the headless stone ghost caught up with Yu Naixin.
The butter-flower monk, realizing something was amiss, turned around and his eyes widened in surprise.
...The female guest is going back to her room to rest, what are you, a male guest, doing following her around like this?!
