A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 153 Goddess Nuwa is angry! (Please subscribe!)

On the table, Su Bai lay in the center, its head resting on its two front paws.

Its tail, however, kept wagging.

Every now and then, it would sweep across the old pig's belly, tickling him until he was very itchy.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Su Bai did not reply, but simply licked the fur on the back of his paw.

Since his last trip to Mount Ling in the Western Paradise, Su Bai noticed that the Buddha Tathagata hadn't shown any particular expression. He wondered if the Buddha truly didn't recognize the small sword around his neck.

Or perhaps he knows him, but is just pretending not to. After all, he is now the Buddha of the Western Paradise, the highest leader of the entire Buddhist community. How could he suddenly recognize Su Bai as his junior brother?

It would be fine to talk about it privately, but if it were said in front of Buddhist disciples, it would cause them to have some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Su Bai could understand this.

As for Sun Wukong's suggestion to find an opportunity for him to go again and have a private talk with Buddha, Su Bai felt there was no need for that.

Just as he was about to shake his head in refusal, Sun Wukong continued, "That old Buddha is really something. If you ask me, why bother with all this mystery? He should just say it directly."

"These guys are all cunning, more scheming than the hairs on my body."

Su Bai also agreed with Sun Wukong's words.

Especially those old guys in the Void, they all like to pretend to be profound.

Things that could be explained in just a few words are instead made to be convoluted and complicated.

Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't help but turn around and walk out of the temple.

Jump onto the wall, climb onto the roof, and look out at the mortal world beyond the temple.

Looking back into the temple, one sees the deities that people usually worship with devotion.

For a fleeting moment, Su Bai actually found it somewhat amusing.

Suddenly, a very loud voice came to Su Bai's ears.

Su Bai subconsciously turned his head to look around.

But no one was seen.

However, Su Bai could recognize who it was.

Such a loud voice could probably only be heard from the Buddha in the Three Realms.

"What should I call the kitten?"

The people inside the courtyard didn't seem to notice the changes, but Sun Wukong seemed to have sensed something.

A pair of golden eyes would occasionally glance in Su Bai's direction.

But after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything else. He scratched his ear and cheek, then continued chatting with the others.

The sounds continued to come from my ears.

"This monkey is one of the four great spiritual monkeys, the Spiritual Stone Monkey. It can easily detect even the slightest movement."

"Afterwards, he stayed in Laozi's alchemy furnace for forty-nine days, which helped him develop these fiery eyes."

Hearing the voice beside him, Su Bai scratched his head in confusion: "Can't he see you?"

The Buddha chuckled and said, "I transmitted my voice from thousands of miles away. Even if this monkey sensed something, he couldn't possibly know it was me."

As he spoke, the Buddha's voice suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Buddha sighed deeply and asked, "Junior brother, how is our teacher?"

Su Bai blinked and said with a grin, "Why don't you go see for yourself, Senior Brother?"

The Buddha chuckled lightly, and after a moment, continued, "This humble monk has long since entered the Buddhist order, and is now the Buddha of the Western Paradise."

"If that's the case, then why do you call me junior brother?"

Lingshan.

The Buddha was slightly taken aback; this cat was even more clever than he had imagined.

He could acknowledge Su Bai as his junior brother, but he could not acknowledge the old Taoist as his master.

The Three Realms are not as simple as everyone imagines.

The Three Realms are now in good order, and although the Heavenly Dao has its flaws, it is not too bad.

Everything is under the watchful eye of Heaven. Once he acknowledges the old Taoist as his master, then conflict will inevitably erupt again in the Three Realms.

This is not what he wanted to see.

This is not what other gods and immortals would want to see either.

A great calamity of witches and demons caused countless lives to perish. If it weren't for the goddess Houtu transforming herself into reincarnation, who knows what this world would have become.

Then came another great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, which brought immense suffering to all living beings in the Three Realms.

Let alone whether living beings can withstand a cataclysmic event, even if they could, this world would probably not be able to withstand it.

From the very beginning of the primordial continent.

To the present Three Realms.

It has shrunk by an unknown amount.

If another great calamity were to occur, the entire Three Realms would likely perish as a result.

Buddha exhaled deeply and said, "Junior brother, you can come to my Mount Ling when you have time. I can chant sutras for you then to help you attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

Upon hearing that the old monk was going to chant sutras for him, Su Bai immediately pictured his head with all the hair shaved off.

He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, my master said that meditating and chanting scriptures are things for idiots. I have my own method of cultivation, and I don't need to shave my head."

The Buddha laughed and shook his head, saying, "Entering my Buddhist order doesn't necessarily require shaving one's head. Look at that monkey; he didn't shave his head to become a Buddha."

"No, no, I'm not going."

The Buddha continued, "Junior brother, do you perhaps not wish to take human form?"

"After you survived your tribulation, I noticed that you did not take human form. However, if you join my Buddhist sect, you will have access to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, which can help you reshape your physical body. At that time, it will be extremely easy for you to transform into human form."

Su Bai lay lazily on the roof, exposing his belly to the sun. He wagged his tail and said, "What's so good about transforming into human form?"

"Being a person is so tiring."

"Look at those people outside the temple, they are busy all day long, struggling to make a living, working desperately for a bite to eat."

"For their loved ones, for their children and grandchildren, and for their descendants."

"Life is hard for humans, but it's different for cats."

"I don't need to eat or drink."

"I spend my days basking in the sun, wandering around, and taking a stroll whenever I have free time."

"Occasionally I'll chat with Nezha and Yang Jian, listening to the immortals tell their stories. Oh, and I also go fishing from time to time."

"The goddess Nuwa was so greedy. She ate hundreds of fish all by herself. I wonder what this goddess looks like."

"Could he be a very fat man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Bai suddenly felt a chill in his abdomen.

Just as I was about to turn over, I found that I couldn't move.

This startled Su Bai.

In the Void, within the Northern Great Hall.

Nuwa's expression turned slightly cold.

This was the first time she had been so humiliated since she was deified.

As a saint, and the only woman among all the saints, her temper was not as good as the other saints.

Raise your hand, pinch your middle finger with your thumb, and then flick it gently.

"Little brat, I'll let you learn your lesson this time. If you do it again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
