But then again, he wasnât sure if heâd find the right devotee willing to engage in such âdiscussionsâ of Buddhist teachings.
There was Kurosaki Masako before and Tanaka Saya now.
His tastes had already become refined.
Ordinary women no longer interested him.
Unless⦠he found a suitable woman and kept her within the temple.
However, where could he find such a woman on short notice? And even if he did, it wasnât guaranteed that sheâd be willing to stay in the temple forever.
After all, not everyone would be willing to become a caged bird, let alone one specifically raised to receive Buddhist teachings.
Kurosaki Masako was somewhat suitable, and she might even be willing to go along with it.
But given his current condition, a mere one or two women wouldnât be enough to solve his problem.
Thatâs why he needed Tanaka Saya.
She might be a monster, but that was precisely what he wanted.
Monsters had their own advantagesâno matter how much they were used, they wouldnât break.
That was an advantage no ordinary human could compare to.
To purify her resentment, the best way was, of course, to help her release her pent-up grudge.
Revenge!
When a person dies, their existence fades like an extinguished lamp, and all karmic ties are severed.
As long as the people who had caused her death received their due retribution, Tanaka Sayaâs resentment would naturally dissipate.
Besides, those people were all wicked criminals steeped in sin.
Killing them would simply be ridding the world of a few pieces of trash.
It could even be considered an act of merit.
âYou want to help me?â
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Sayaâs eyes flickered, and the thick resentment in them faded slightly. She looked at Lu Jin with disbelief.
She never expected that this depraved monk would actually want to help her seek revenge.
âThe Buddha is compassionate. If I do not enter hell, who will? If this humble monk can help you relinquish your obsession and attain enlightenment, then what is the harm in abandoning these years of Buddhist cultivation?â
Lu Jin pressed his palms together and softly chanted a Buddhist verse.
His face carried a sanctimonious expression, successfully deceiving the simple-minded woman before him.
Tanaka Sayaâs eyes wavered. After a moment of silence, she snorted coldly and turned her head away.
âHmph, you damned monk. Donât think Iâll forgive you just because you said that.â
Her words were defiant, but the resentment in her gaze softened involuntarily.
Deep down, she started to believe that perhaps this damned monk had only been practicing Buddhist teachings with her earlier, rather than simply taking advantage of her out of lust.
After all, a monk with such deep enlightenment couldnât possibly be consumed by such shallow desires.
However, that didnât mean she would forgive him.
After all, he had taken away something she had treasured for so many yearsâthe most precious thing she had.
Even if⦠she had somewhat indulged in and enjoyed that newfound experience.
But that didnât mean she couldnât be angry.
After maintaining a cold and distant demeanor for a while, her tone softened slightly.
âAs for revenge, you donât have to dirty your hands, damned monk. As long as you can get me inside, Iâll take care of the rest myself.â
As she thought of the wretched couple who had caused her demise, a thick wave of resentment surged from Tanaka Sayaâs body.
âTake you inside?â
Lu Jin frowned.
âThatâs right. Take me inside.â
Tanaka Saya nodded.
She knew where her former home was, but she couldnât enter it.
Every time she tried, a strange force would block her way.
Under normal circumstances, she was unable to harm ordinary people.
Only under specific times and conditions could she do so.
Thatâs why she needed Lu Jin to take her back to her former home.
Only then could she personally exact her revenge.
âAll right.â
Lu Jin nodded.
Seeing him agree, Tanaka Saya couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She had threatened others who could see her before, demanding they take her back, but none had been able to do so.
If it was this damned monk, perhaps he could pull it off.
After all, he was the first one who had been able to subdue her.
As long as she could get her revenge, no matter how much this damned monk took advantage of her, she could endure it.
Tanaka Sayaâs cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled their previous wild encounter.
She couldnât help but wonder if this monk would take advantage of the situation to make her do something strange againâ¦
