Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 318: Into the Tiger's Den

    

targeting me if it weren't for the fact that I am favored by Elder Wu and, well, this young lady is quite beautiful."The ripples silently rolled their eyes."This is not quite what you have in mind. Jo...When the ripples were placed in the soft sedan chair, she had already opened her eyes and scanned the chair. Her eyes narrowed slightly, finally letting her wait for it. It wasn't in vain that she and Wen Xun, that despicable scoundrel in fine clothes, had been playing cat-and-mouse.

Feeling the soft sedan's bumps, Lian Yi slowly closed her eyes again, entering a state of meditation.

After a full quarter of an hour, she was sent into another carriage. After traveling for about an hour, the carriage finally stopped. The horse snorted tiredly, and Ripples sensed that they had been travelling uphill. The carriage stopped in front of a house on a hillside.

"What place is this Who are you Where's Master Wen"

The ripples had already woken up, frowning and asking the two maids who were opening the car curtain and preparing to help her out of the car.

"This is the Palace of Bliss, we are all members of the Palace of Bliss. It can give you everything you want. Mr. Wen introduced you to us and hopes that we can save Miss's remaining life."

"Then where is he What Paradise Palace I've never heard of it."

Ripple shook her head and even shrank back into the car, showing a hundred percent distrust.

"Miss, I advise you to come down on your own. Don't let these people resort to violence."

A young woman resembling a maid held her chin high and looked down upon Lianyi with disdain. She then glanced at the male servants behind her. Their eyes were almost glued to Lianyi, clearly eager to serve her.

"Stay back! I'll get out of the car myself!"

Lian Yi knew when to yield, so she slowly got off the car and, surrounded by these people, entered this courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Upon entering, a different scene unfolded. The place buzzed with young men and women, occasionally interrupted by one or two well-behaved children. These people didn't seem surprised by Lianri's arrival; instead, their eyes held a predatory gleam, causing Lianri's brows to furrow in displeasure.

As they entered the main hall, a remarkably handsome man walked out from the back room. He gracefully bowed to Lian Yi before speaking:

"Miss Lu Yao, we apologize for our intrusion. Please have a seat!"

"Who are you What brings me here"

"That's right, I heard from Winsun that both your parents have passed away, and Miss, distraught by grief, wants to become a nun. That's why I want to invite you to join the Palace of Bliss."

What are the benefits of joining the Pure Land

Ripple, sitting beside the man in white at this time, asked quite directly.

"As I said, of course, I can fulfill Miss's wishes."

"I wonder if parents can be reborn too"

"That's not impossible, but it's a bit difficult."

"What do you need me to do"

We will bring your parents' coffins here and hold a grand ceremony for their ascension to paradise. We will organize tens of thousands of people to pray to the Immortal of Bliss, this is necessary.

“Just tell me how much money you want. I’ll give you anything, just please let my parents live!”

Ripple's body leaned forward slightly, and she spoke with a hint of urgency.

The man in white seemed to be waiting for Lian Ri's words, and immediately said with a smile:

"Actually, this silver is for offering to the Immortal of Bliss. The rest will be handled by the people from the Palace of Bliss. Miss, please don't misunderstand us, we aren't doing this for the money."

"I know! Can you take me to see Ju Le Xian I don't have much silver on me, but I can write a letter. You can have someone go to the inn in Huayue City and ask my housekeeper Wen Yi for it."

Ripples was very anxious and expressed her desire.

The man in white hesitated for a moment, then beckoned the maidservant who had brought her there to fetch ink, paper, and brushes. Then he asked Lian'er to write a letter right there.

Ripple hesitated not, took up her pen and wrote a letter demanding money, delivering it directly to the maid.

Under the white-clad man's gesture, the maid took the letter and left.

"May I ask your honorable name"

The ripples seemed to have just remembered, turning their head and asking.

"I am a messenger of the Pure Land, walking among mortals on behalf of the Immortal of Bliss. This youthful face I possess is a reward from the Immortal of Bliss."

The ripple passed over the other person's face, then brushed against her own veiled face, and she said with a touch of emotion:

"My daughter has blemishes on her face. Could you also allow me to have a perfect complexion"

Of course, as long as you pray sincerely, the Immortal of Bliss will surely fulfill your wishes!

Then when can I meet the Extreme Bliss Immortal

Ripple asked eagerly.

"Wait until tomorrow when Miss has bathed and changed her clothes, then we can go together to visit the Immortal of Bliss."

"Good!"

Ripple readily agreed and, obediently following another maid, went to a side room to rest, waiting to see the Immortal of Bliss tomorrow.

The next day, Lianyi woke up early, bathed and dressed, putting on a white robe of the Yuèlé Palace. She patiently went through all the ritualistic worship procedures with the followers of the Yuèlé Palace before following the Yuèlé Messenger to a cave located behind a courtyard halfway up the mountain.

The cave's entrance was shrouded in long, white gauze. Two guards in white held the gauze taut, allowing the blissful emissary to enter the cave with Ripples and a string of boys and girls trailing behind her.

As ripples stepped into the cave, she sensed an aura identical to that of the evil remnant. She gently waved her sleeves, sealing off the entrance, then followed the Bodhisattva behind, entering deeper into the cave.

The first thing that caught my eye was a statue nestled against the cave wall. It was a gigantic figure with three heads and six arms, its face blue and its teeth fangs. Its entire body was black, providing a stark contrast to the light gray walls. In front of the statue sat a giant cauldron filled with countless incense candles.

"This is the Pleasure Immortal"

Ripple looked at the statue and asked directly.

"Miss Ripple, do not be rude. Bow quickly!"

The blissful one spoke in a low voice.

"He's so ugly, how could he possibly give me such a stunning face"

The ripples paid no heed to the reprimand of the blissful one, but instead strode forward two steps, circling around the statue as if confirming whether it truly was the Immortal of Bliss.

"You are too presumptuous!"

The blissful one already had displeasure written on their face, waving their hand to let those who followed in grab the ripples.

This time, Lian Yi directly swished her sleeves, sweeping all the young men and women who had entered the cave to worship to a corner of the cave.

At this moment, Ji Le's face drastically changed as he sensed something was amiss. He immediately reached for the jade pendant at his waist, but in the next instant, the jade pendant flew out of his grasp and landed in Lian Ri's palm.

With a snap, the jade pendant was crushed by ripples directly, she brushed off the debris in her hand, and then said softly:

"You are the so-called Jilexian, aren't you!"

Who are you

The man was a little flustered at the moment, but he still pretended to be calm, looking at the statue behind Ripples.

"You don't need to know."

Ripples whirled around, drawing back his arm and clenching his fist. He struck the giant incense burner with a single blow, shattering it into five pieces. One black fragment flew outward, soaring towards the cave mouth.

Immediately, he was blocked again and held in the hand by ripples of spiritual energy.

"That was really hard to find!"

"Stop!!!"tiful, not at all inferior to a movie star.Master Wu, this way please.Lin was asked to go to the team leader's office. She saw Feng and another unfamiliar face there."Thank you, Master Wu, for your su...
