Chapter 123 Xiawei Temple... What merit do they possess?!
Logically speaking, this situation should not occur.
The butter-flower monk couldn't help but ask, "Benefactor Yu, you..."
The year and a half they spent together in the special memory illusion allowed Yu Naixin to understand the butter flower monk as well as a close friend.
She immediately saw what the butter flower monk was worried about and laughed: "Don't worry, Master, those resentful spirits have no effect on me."
Taking two steps forward, Yu Naixin walked to the butter flower monk's side, stretched out her right hand, palm up, and exposed her wrist artery to the monk: "Master, you can check it out. My spiritual power coefficient is not low."
Butter Monk: "...?!"
The monk's pupils contracted sharply, revealing a look of utter astonishment.
Just like pulse diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine and auscultation of the heart in Western medicine, checking the pulse at the aorta in a person's wrist to understand the state of spiritual energy within the body is a very easy, simple, and highly accurate method.
This method is not very common because it requires a high level of sensory ability from the investigator, and not everyone can use it.
However, what surprised the butter monk was not that Yu Naixin knew he could use this method. Yu Naixin had experienced his past from beginning to end before coming to "Heartbeat 1000%", so she knew these things were only natural.
To the astonishment of the butter monk, Yu Naixin had so easily exposed her own fatal weakness to him, right where he could reach it.
[What?! What is the female guest doing? How dare she so brazenly expose her major artery right under the nose of the other guest?!]
[I remember this female guest's spiritual power level was much higher than that of the average guest on the show, but even that's a critical weakness, very dangerous!]
[She was probably trying to win over the butter flower monks this way, right? A classic example of someone highly skilled and daring.]
The wrist that was handed to him was very slender. Underneath the alabaster skin, the pale blue veins were clearly visible. It looked extremely fragile, as if it could break with the slightest force.
Completely subconsciously, the butter monk quickly took half a step back, putting some distance between his wrist and Yu Naixin's.
If he had even the slightest ill intention, he could easily cause Yu Naixin considerable harm!
This female guest is quite capable and has a lot of skills. Without him even realizing it, she exposed all his secrets. Moreover, Yu Naixin's previous unlocking of the west wing door also showed that she has quite profound skills. She used two small straw figures to replace the cost of two lives.
The butter monk had no doubt that even if he did attack Yu Naixin, she would have ways to treat and defend herself.
Yu Naixin voluntarily revealed her fatal weakness to him without reservation. Her actions and expressions were completely natural, without the slightest hint of reluctance, clearly showing her unwavering trust in him.
She believed he wouldn't hurt her.
This wholehearted trust felt very unfamiliar to the butter flower monk, and he was also quite apprehensive.
From the old monk with all ten fingers crippled at Nizhu Temple, to the monks and Xingchan at Nizhu Temple, to the later Highland Sect Master and their servants, and even the headless stone ghost and the nine NPC monks in "Xiawei Temple", the Butter Flower Monk has encountered quite a few people since his birth.
But no one had ever treated him like Yu Naixin had ever done before.
Those monks who were sent to the main hall as offerings naturally trusted the butter sculpture monk, but the butter sculpture monk knew very well that they had no choice but to trust him because they had no other options. Anyone else could have earned that genuine trust.
As for Yu Naixin, a guest on the show with unfathomable abilities, she has far more options than those like Xing Chan, so there is no need for her to invest such deep feelings in him.
What merit does such a sinful person possess?!
The monk quickly chanted "Amitabha" three times in his heart. He dared not meet Yu Naixin's gaze and lowered his head again, his eyes wandering and uneasy.
[Why is the butter monk suddenly shy? And the female guests aren't trying to hug, kiss, or touch him like they have before?]
[Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of genuine emotion is much more touching than forced physical contact~ Especially in a show like "Heartbeat 1000%", the "Big Boss" really knows how to use different strategies to win over male guests with different personalities and preferences~]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 12 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Admiring Strength is My Destiny"!]
[The female guest's acting was amazing! She seemed so genuine.]
[I feel like the Little Witch isn't just acting; she genuinely has a good relationship with the Butter Flower Monk. The Little Witch has always been very clear about her grudges and respects life. Given the Butter Flower Monk's past, it doesn't seem surprising that the Little Witch would be close to him.]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Accompany Me to See the Sea"!]
Seeing the monk with butter flowers like this, Yu Naixin couldn't help but laugh. She stopped teasing him and naturally put her right hand down.
“It’s not just my spiritual power that can form an effective defense,” Yu Naixin returned to the initial topic, patiently explaining to the butter flower monk how she dealt with resentment in the special memory environment, “It was mostly the invasion of resentment that was actually blocked by you, Master.”
The monk, still somewhat disoriented from his earlier panic, was taken aback when he suddenly heard Yu Naixin say that he had helped.
The illusion originated from the Butter Flower Monk. Although he didn't know the specifics inside, he knew very well that within the illusion, he would simply retrace his steps, making it completely undetectable even to those who intruded. How could he possibly shield Yu Naixin from resentment?
The butter-flower monk couldn't help but raise his head again, looking at Yu Naixin, and their eyes met.
The female benefactor, whose gaze had never left him, had a bright and warm smile on her face. She continued to explain to him in a sweet voice, "After you enter a state of madness, you probably won't notice these details, but I've been hovering above your head the whole time, so I can see and feel everything very clearly."
Yu Naixin stared directly into the eyes of the butter monk, her tone gentle and calm: "Even if you have gone mad and lost control of yourself, you will still subconsciously protect everything you can protect."
"—You know that intense resentment is more harmful than the sharpest sword, so you will absorb as much resentment as possible from your surroundings, so that you can absorb it into your body and digest it."
"The last bit of remnant power is extremely weak. I don't need to expend much spiritual energy to easily dissolve it."
To be honest, before entering the special memory illusion of the butter flower monk, Yu Naixin had mentally prepared herself to engage in a difficult and long-term battle with the surging and terrifying resentment.
She has two in-game stores and over three thousand Sweet Coins, so she can buy the right items to deal with any situation immediately.
However, after a full year and a half of this environment, Yu Naixin didn't find a single opportunity to spend Sweet Coins, and even her spiritual energy consumption was pitifully low.
All I can say is that having a companion like the butter flower monk is indeed both worry-free and cost-effective.
After hearing Yu Naixin's words, the butter monk was completely stunned.
After arriving at the "Heartbeat 1000%" temple, which was then in ruins, the butter monk gradually regained his senses and stopped falling into a state of frenzied killing, freed from the stimulation of bloodshed and tragedy.
Even in that state, the Butter Flower Monk's memory was not affected. Once he calmed down, the scenes of the people who died by his hand were all vividly clear in his mind.
Among them were evil spirits in human skin whom the butter-flower monks wished to kill, and many others who did not deserve to die, or were simply innocent tools.
Even the 109 Xingchan monks who were sacrificed at Nizhu Temple blamed their unjust deaths on themselves, feeling that they had failed to save them, which led to their tragic demise.
For so long, the butter flower monk believed that his sins were unforgivable and had wanted to get rid of himself countless times, feeling that his existence was a shameful scourge.
However, as a guest in the instance, he was subject to the punishment of "that person" and could not commit suicide.
Knowing that "Xiawei Temple" was about to begin and that its first guest was about to arrive, the butter flower monk's first thought was to do his best to protect this female benefactor he had never met before and to ensure that she could survive this episode. His second thought was that if the female benefactor was strong enough, he would try to persuade her to kill him.
After all, his spiritual power coefficient of 144 is not too low. If a slightly weaker guest on the show were to make a move, even if the butter monk did not resist, the other party might still suffer some spiritual backlash.
