Emperor’s Domination

s mouth: “Benefactor, we are truly connected by fate, let’s continue on this path?”

“Just eat if you want to eat.” Li Qiye revealed a friendly smile.

“Really?” The monk thought that he had misheard. What a generous guy! 

“Of course.” Li Qiye replied: “The meat in front of you isn’t fake, it’s not paper nor an illusion.”

“True.” The monk scratched his bald head and smelled the meaty fragrance.
The meat was definitely real.

“Then why are you hesitating?” Li Qiye smirked.

“Amitabha, thank you for your generosity.
May the great Buddha protect you…” The monk placed his palms together and bowed.

He then threw caution to the wind, unable to resist the temptation, and rushed forward.
He picked up the entire bull and started taking one bite after another.

“How’s the taste?” Li Qiye asked with a gentle expression, seemingly glad.
This was the face of a hunter successfully catching his prey.

“Delicious, it’s crisp yet juicy, simply incredible, Amitabha.” Golden Cicada mumbled with his mouth filled with meat; his hands covered in grease and fat.
He occasionally wiped them on his kasaya.

One finally understood while his kasaya had an oily appearance.
He didn’t care about this great Buddhist treasure in the slightest.

The old servant shook his head after seeing this, speechless.

“Little Monk, I heard that your temple has plenty of treasures.” Li Qiye spoke.

“Treasures? There are quite a few.” The monk kept on eating and replied without looking at Li Qiye: “After all, our ancestors have gathered them for millions of years.
Bodhisattva Cauldron, Myriad Buddha Diagram, Golden Dao Lotus… yeah, there are all types.” He forgot how to be discreet while chewing on the meat.

“Hmm, I’ve heard of them before.” Li Qiye went on: “But I’m more interested in dao bones recently, not Buddhist treasures.”

“Dao bones?” The monk swallowed a big portion and quickly responded: “We have a high-level emperor dao bone, it’s not bad, the dao rhythm is present as if the beast itself is still alive…”

“I’m not interested in that one, what about the god-level dao bone?” Li Qiye interrupted him.

“Our god-level dao bone…” The monk spoke without thinking but actually stopped this time.
He became frozen – his teeth were on the meat held by both hands.

“Ahem, Amitabha, I don ’t know anything about a god-level dao bone, never heard of it being around either.” He dropped the meat and placed his palms together.

“Is that so?” Li Qiye smirked and stared at him.

The monk became nervous after lying.
He responded: “Amitabha, monks do not lie, I’ve never seen a god-level dao bone in Heavenly Dragon Temple.
This is the absolute truth.”

“Sure, you’ve never seen it, this doesn’t disprove its existence.” Li Qiye said.

“Well…” The monk hesitated and smiled wryly: “I don’t know much about this, Benefactor.
You’ll have to ask my master.”

“For me to take a trip to Heavenly Dragon Temple myself over this dao bone? I’m afraid that it won’t be so simple then, I might destroy your temple.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“Amitabha.” The monk closed his eyes, not refuting Li Qiye’s claim.

“That’s why, Little Monk, I’m telling you now that I want this god-level bone.
Two options, you will bring it to me or I’ll go and take it myself.” Li Qiye said.

“I…
I can’t make a decision regarding something so important.” The poor monk looked helpless.
