Chapter 312: Master, please don't say that.
Upon seeing this, the Flower Monk's heart skipped a beat, and he realized he was in trouble; he had almost exposed his true colors because of a moment of impulsiveness.
He quickly tried to appear calm, clasped his hands together, and his face was instantly filled with nauseating guilt and self-reproach, muttering incessantly as if chanting a spell.
"Amitabha, Amitabha! Female benefactor, please don't be angry, please don't blame this young lady. It's all my fault. I didn't hold the water pot properly, which caused the water to spill. I am truly deeply sinful, deeply sinful!"
As he spoke, he kept shaking his head and sighing, looking heartbroken and full of regret, as if he had really committed some unforgivable mistake.
Seeing the master so remorseful, Hua Ruyan felt even more guilty, as if a heavy boulder was pressing on her heart.
She hurriedly reached into her bosom again, carefully took out three small goldfish that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, and handed them to the monk with a resolute yet sincere attitude, her voice tinged with a pleading tone.
"Master, please don't say that. It's all our fault, causing you so much injustice. Please accept these three goldfish as a small compensation, just so you can forgive our mistakes."
The monk, who already harbored a burning desire within him, stared wide-eyed at the sight of the three tempting, glittering goldfish. His greedy lust surged forth like a wild horse.
He swallowed involuntarily, his hands trembled, and he struggled intensely inside.
After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't resist the huge temptation and took the goldfish with trembling hands, saying something insincerely.
"Amitabha, then this humble monk thanks the female benefactor for her kindness."
The Flower Monk watched helplessly as his meticulously planned schemes were burst one by one, like fragile bubbles. The anger in his heart was like a raging tsunami, almost threatening to engulf him completely.
The raging flames raged wildly in his chest, as if they were burning his heart and lungs to ashes.
However, he was, after all, a man of great cunning and skill in disguise. Although his heart was filled with raging anger, he still forced a facade of feigned benevolence and compassion on his face.
However, the slight twitching of his lips and the occasional flash of fierce coldness deep in his eyes could not completely conceal the true anger and rage in his heart.
And so, Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan quietly returned to their original positions. Their eyes, like two sharp arrows, were fixed on the Flower Monk's every move. They didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing any subtle changes.
About half an hour later, the old servant's body began to feel uncontrollably hot, like dry tinder that had been ignited.
Her once calm face was now contorted with pain. Because she was so close to the monk, the unbearable heat drove her to involuntarily reach out her trembling hand to him.
Meanwhile, the monk Hua had been completely corrupted by the drug, losing all reason. His body and mind were no longer under his control, and as if possessed, he dazedly reached out towards the old servant.
Their subsequent actions were utterly appalling. Their unrestrained behavior and unbridled intimacy were so obscene and indecent that it was unbearable to watch and extremely unsuitable for children.
Hua Ruyan, who was sleeping a little further away from the two of them, was originally immersed in a sweet dream.
But the unusual noise from the monk and his old servant woke him up.
She was still half asleep, her head was a little fuzzy, and she was full of doubts and confusion. She subconsciously wanted to stand up and go forward to see what had happened.
Just then, Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan arrived as fast as lightning.
Fang Xiao's hands reacted faster than her brain; she suddenly reached out and tightly covered her mouth, while making an extremely serious "shh" gesture.
Immediately afterward, disregarding Hua Ruyan's struggles and resistance, he grabbed her without explanation and quickly led her behind the dilapidated Buddha statue.
Just as Fang Xiaoxiao and Pei Yan hurriedly hid behind the Buddha statue with Hua Ruyan, a deafening commotion suddenly erupted outside the previously silent dilapidated temple.
First came the rapid, thunderous sound of horses' hooves, striking the ground with a resounding "clatter," like rolling thunder approaching from afar, each clatter seemingly about to crack the earth open.
Immediately following was the unrestrained shouting of those burly men, their voices hoarse and wild, like a pack of out-of-control wild beasts roaring, making people's eardrums buzz.
Then, with a deafening roar, the dilapidated temple gate shattered instantly under the immense impact.
The already rickety door panel flew out like a kite with a broken string, tracing a messy arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Immediately afterwards, as if by magic, sparks of light suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the dilapidated temple.
The sparks danced and flickered in the darkness, like countless playful little sprites dancing joyfully.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be torches held high by the bandits.
Moreover, this spark spread like wildfire, gathering more and more, growing brighter and brighter, like a dazzling galaxy descending from the sky, instantly illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day.
Pei Yan and Fang Xiaoxiao cautiously peered out through the broken window in front of them. They saw a dense mass of heads moving incessantly in the firelight, rising and falling like a surging black ocean.
Those hideous and distorted faces appeared and disappeared in the firelight, looking particularly terrifying.
Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as she examined the object closely. Her face turned deathly pale instantly. She gasped and said in a trembling voice.
"These...aren't these the vicious bandits we encountered in the woods during the day?"
Seeing that Fang Xiaoxiao was terrified and trembling all over, Pei Yan quickly hugged her tightly and comforted her softly.
"Xiao Xiao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here, and I will never let you get hurt."
Just then, the bandit leader outside the courtyard, like a raging beast, raised his thick leg and kicked open the rickety wooden door with all his might. With a loud "bang," the wooden door crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of choking dust.
