Chapter 2914 Kongkong, Youâre Too Cute
Qiao Mu felt a headache coming on every time she heard him address her as Benefactor.
She raised her hand and lightly tapped the little bald monkâs forehead. âDo you still remember how you got here?â
Although this five-year-old monk was small in stature, he was a shrewd individual with a clear mind.
At the mention of the little monkâs recent experiences, tears welled up in his eyes. âWhen those two came to take me back, they claimed that Master Abbot had sent for me.â
âI hugged Benefactorâs Mom and cried for a while. Saying my goodbyes to Benefactorâs siblings and family made me quite sad during the journey.â
âThey didnât provide me with vegetarian food.â
âI felt my stomach growling from hunger along the way.â As he spoke, the little monk appeared even more disheartened. His large, pitiful eyes were fixed on Qiao Mu, eliciting a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
To be honest, the little monk was probably worried about his motherâs cooking skills. During the journey from Sikong Planet to the Divine Province, he seemed to have suffered a great hardshipâno food to eat!
âI had initially thought of digging up some mushrooms to make soup, but the couple said it would take too much time.â
âAfterward, I lost all sense of consciousness. I suspect they might have drugged me, and Iâve been in a daze since then.â The little monk continued to chatter, his bright and glistening eyes focused on Qiao Mu. âBenefactress, do you have any vegetarian buns?â
Qiao Mu couldnât help but reach out and ruffle his smooth little head.
He raised his hand and retrieved two vegetarian buns from his inner world, offering them to the little monk. âWhere is your inner world? What about the Storage Talisman? Thereâs plenty of food inside. Why arenât you eating?â
The little monk shook his head. âBenefactress, as the saying goes, wealth should be kept hidden. Although I have no intention of harming others, I must remain cautious.â
Mo Lianâs mouth twitched, and she couldnât help but want to facepalm.
He really wanted to explain to the little monk that those two vegetarian buns werenât worth much, and if he wanted to share them, no one would try to take them away.
âBesides, weâre not in dire straits, so thereâs no need to dip into my food reserves.â
For example, take this mischievous little monk. He understood this better than anyone else.
After all the talking, the most important point was that the little monk had no trust whatsoever in Third Aunt Zhu and her husband.
Back when Third Aunt Zhu and her husband had arrived at the Qiao Clan on Sikong Planet, even if the little monk harbored suspicions about their identities, he would still obediently follow them. Because staying behind would undoubtedly spell trouble for the Qiao Clan.
Qiao Mu instantly grasped the little monkâs thoughts, and her heart melted into a jumble.
She reached out and lifted the small bald monk, pressing a kiss onto his smooth head. âKongkong, donât be like this in the future. If you have any doubts, you can confide in His Excellency.â
âAt that time, even if those two had wanted to attack us forcefully, Mom and the others might have had the ability to defend themselves.â This was because before she left, she had left many items for her parents and placed them in the Storage Talisman beside their bed.
âBenefactress, will you bring Benefactorâs parents and siblings to visit me?â
âI will.â Qiao Muâs gaze was determined and filled with anticipation. âSoon.â
Only then did the little monk nod. He took a bite of the bun and suddenly remembered something. He raised his hand to touch his bald head and declared, âBenefactress, I have embraced a monastic life and dedicated myself to Buddhism. I cannot accept your affections! You must not fall in love with me! Amitabha~â
Mo Lianâs mouth twitched intensely as she scooped up the little monk with one hand. âEnough!â
