Chapter 624: Your Brain Doesn’t Work

Shi Kong plopped onto the ground, his wooden fish and prayer beads scattering everywhere. At this moment, he no longer had the composure of a high monk.

“For centuries, I have cultivated diligently in the mortal realm. Many times, revered ones have visited me in dreams at night, discussing scriptures and encouraging me to ascend quickly. They promised to await my arrival in the Buddha Realm.”

“For years, I worked tirelessly, never daring to make a single mistake, yearning for the day I would ascend.”

“And after a hundred years of cultivation, I finally succeeded in ascending—”

“Only to find that the Buddha Realm was empty!! They all descended!!”

“The Buddha’s Child didn’t return. Instead, he took away many Bodhisattvas! Lu Chao Chao, you have no heart!”

A collective escape—the entire Buddha Realm deserted—what was the point of his ascension?!!

After toiling away for centuries to ascend, Shi Kong had arrived just in time to see Lu Chao Chao trick the revered ones back to the mortal realm. So, in the end, he had completely missed his chance?

“So I spent a hundred years cultivating just to become a complete fool.” Shi Kong’s face was filled with existential doubt.

A big fool. A truly miserable fool.

Shi Kong completely broke down, his expression crumbling in despair.

“Where is the Buddha Seal? Did the revered ones say where it is?” he asked urgently.

“There was an accident. It was lost in the mortal realm. The revered ones instructed that you report to Celestial Sovereign Han Chuan that they have descended to find the Buddha Seal.”

Shi Kong smacked his forehead and chanted “Amitabha” countless times, but it did nothing to calm his rage.

Lu Chao Chao had lured away the revered ones and stolen the Buddha Seal!!

Shi Kong wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn’t even know why he had cultivated for so long, only to end up like this.

Meanwhile, Lu Chao Chao, having thoroughly tricked Shi Kong and pulled the Buddhist Sect into the mortal realm’s camp, felt immense joy.

With the revered ones in the mortal world, if the Celestial Realm ever made a move, the Buddha Realm would be the first to object.

“You’re not planning to hand me over to the Buddha Realm, are you? Whoever lies is a little dog!” Xie Yu Zhou followed closely behind her, looking deeply concerned.

“You had me set up formations, and I followed your lead. I even trapped the revered ones for you. You better not discard me now that the job is done!”

Lu Chao Chao patted the Buddha Seal in her arms. “With our relationship, do you still not trust me?”

“Through storms and fire, I live and die with you. We are not like others.”

“I, Lu Chao Chao, swear to you that I will never hand you over to the Buddha Realm! If anyone tries to take you away, they’ll have to step over my dead body!” She earnestly raised her fingers to the sky, making a solemn vow.

Hearing this, Xie Yu Zhou felt a twinge of guilt. “Why are you swearing? I believe you, I believe you! It was just me overthinking. As long as you say it, I trust you…”

After speaking, he secretly felt a surge of happiness.

So Chao Chao actually valued him this much.

If anyone wanted to take him away from the mortal realm, they’d have to step over her corpse first.

Feeling elated, he cheerfully ran off.

Zhu Mo looked on with deep envy. “The Dragon Clan is competitive by nature. Even blood brothers from the same parents don’t share this kind of bond.”

Windchaser paused, his gaze flickering with surprise. “You… feel touched?”

Zhu Mo looked confused. “Wealth is easy to obtain, but sincerity is rare. Such a precious friendship is naturally moving.”

Windchaser gave him a long, meaningful look.

“Have you been locked up in prison for too long? Did it make you dumb?”

“Forget it. At least you’re married now, staying at home with your wife and children. You won’t cause any big trouble. Since your brain isn’t the sharpest, just go out less.”

“And please, try not to offend too many people.” Sigh, with a brain like his, he’d probably help count money after being sold off.

Back in the day, Windchaser had disguised himself as a dog, learning plenty of cunning tricks from mortals.

That was why he had become the Demon King.

While other great demons focused on cultivation, he had cultivated 800 different schemes in the mortal world.

He could see it clearly now.

If Han Chuan succeeded in destroying the mortal realm, eliminating Evil Miasma, the Three Realms would be grateful to him. Meanwhile, the Emperor would fail his mortal tribulation and fall into endless reincarnation. One move, two victories.

Thus, the mortal realm needed a bargaining chip.

For example…

Xie Yu Zhou staying behind as leverage.
