## Chapter 10: Deep Buddhist Affinity - Shaving Xu Xian's Head, Never Again Shall He Be Xu Xian - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

## Chapter 10: Deep Buddhist Affinity - Shaving Xu Xian's Head, Never Again Shall He Be Xu Xian **[You have arrived at Jinshan Temple, which appears unchanged from before. The monks within are greatly surprised to see your return.]** **[This surprise is due to you being suppressed by Fahai several years ago.]** **[From the perspective of the monks at Jinshan Temple, you had simply disappeared without a trace.]** **[You inquire with a few familiar monks about the whereabouts of Elder Fahai.]** **[Upon seeing you, they are delighted and promptly lead you to find Fahai.]** **[To your surprise, Xu Xian is also present. At this moment, Xu Xian seems as if he has lost his soul, completely indifferent to everything around him.]** **[Fahai, upon seeing you, shows no hint of surprise.]** "Miscreant, you have finally returned. To have subdued Bai Suzhen and saved the life of Xu Xian is indeed an act of destiny." **[Hearing Fahai call you a miscreant, you are exceptionally angered.]** "You bald donkey, courting death!" **[You then question Fahai as to why he is relentlessly pursuing Bai Suzhen.]** **[Fahai explains that humans and demons are different. You remain unharmed because you are the reincarnation of an Arhat, protected by a golden body.]** **[However, Xu Xian is different. Being intimately involved with a paper doll will harm his vital energy.]** **[Bai Suzhen's actions are nothing like a repayment of kindness; they are clearly causing harm.]** **[In time, Xu Xian's original essence will be exhausted, and not only will he fail to complete his cultivation, but he will also owe a debt of karma.]** **[Fahai sees that you share a karmic bond with Bai Suzhen, which is why he has persistently dealt with Bai Suzhen, believing her existence to be the source of your karmic turmoil, leading you to commit so many absurd acts.]** **[After much contemplation, he concludes that it is indeed your karmic ties causing this.]** **[Karma triggers trials.]** **[Trial energy affects the mind, causing such circumstances to arise.]** **[In order to guide you, he has even interfered directly, destroying the marriage between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.]** **[Now, Xu Xian's soul is nearly frightened away, making it impossible for him to stay with Bai Suzhen. Additionally, Xu Xian himself possesses a deep Buddhist affinity, and if he becomes a monk, he is destined to become a great and virtuous monk in the future.]** Upon witnessing this turn of events, Su Mo was dumbfounded. Good heavens. I can't believe it! The plot has developed in such a manner. At that moment, Su Mo deeply felt the strength of this fateful life journey. No matter how stray his path went, it always seemed to correct itself. **[Fahai suddenly changes his demeanor, treating you with warmth and kindness.]** **[He informs you that if you can personally shave Xu Xian's head, you will successfully sever the karmic ties between him and Bai Suzhen, and you can then be with Bai Suzhen.]** **[Your options are:]** **[Option 1: Refuse Fahai's proposal, travel to Kunlun Mountain to steal the mystical lingzhi herb to restore Xu Xian's soul and spirit, allowing his relationship with Bai Suzhen to renew.]** **[Option 2: Personally shave Xu Xian's head, give him a monastic name, and take him as a disciple, nurturing him sincerely.]** **[Option 3: Let Xu Xian choose for himself, informing him of the reasons and consequences of his situation.]** Su Mo's eyes widened upon seeing Option 2. In his mind, there was only one image. A repentant husband? But. This seems a bit too thrilling. However. Isn't life about seeking thrills after all? Thinking this. Su Mo decisively chose the second option. **[You choose to shave Xu Xian's head and give him a monastic name, taking him as your disciple.]** **[Soon, Xu Xian's ordination is completed, and with your monastic name being Liao Yin, and the next generation being Ben, you name him Ben Wu.]** **[Drawing inspiration from the idiom: "Originally, there is nothing, where can dust alight."**] **[With the ordination complete, there is no longer Xu Xian in this world, only the monk Ben Wu.]** **[After you complete the shaving, Ben Wu's soul and spirit return fully.]** **[Xu Xian calmly accepts his discipleship under you, feeling an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility, as though his life had been leading to this moment all along.]** **[Meanwhile, Bai Suzhen at home feels a transformation within her body; the karmic burdens she bore have vanished, leaving her feeling as light as a feather, vastly different from her previous state.]** **[Returning home, you want to see how Bai Suzhen has changed.]** **[Upon your arrival, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing greet you, and you realize that Bai Suzhen is now free of any karmic burdens and can ascend to immortality whenever she wishes.]** **[Bai Suzhen cannot deduce the reason behind this change but intuitively feels it's related to you.]** **[She inquires with you.]** "Su Lang, now that my karmic debts are gone and my fate with Xu Xian is fulfilled, what has changed?" **[Seeing Bai Suzhen's transformation brings you joy.]** **[You then explain the cause of these changes to her.]** "Xu Xian has now embraced Buddhism and is my disciple, so essentially, he emancipated himself from your bond. Your repayment of kindness is now complete." "From now on, there is no need to be entangled by karmic burdens." **[With this explanation, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing are overjoyed and decide to reward you at night.]** **[You finally experience the joy of being favored by sisters together.]** In the portrayal, Bai Suzhen's feet are stretched taut, unable to withstand the advances of Su Mo and Xiao Qing... Seeing this scene, Su Mo is quite moved. If only he could have such beautiful companions in reality, he wouldn't trade it even to be a deity. Alas. The simulation is ultimately an illusion. During the day, he remains a lowly servant. Even as the head of the feasting division, his status is only marginally elevated; he remains fundamentally a servant. With a sigh. He refocuses on the simulation. Given the simulator's usual tendencies, once fully involved with a romantic character, numerous unexpected changes would arise, along with extreme choices. Su Mo glances out the window. The sky is turning light. Unknowingly, he has simulated through an entire night. In half an hour, he must leave for work. It's best to conclude this simulation quickly. Subsequently, Su Mo returns his attention to the scenario of "Fateful Life." **[Time flies as you and Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing enjoy half a year of joyous times.]** **[Yet, despite being a reincarnated Arhat, you remain a mortal body, and your union with two demons ultimately depletes your vital essence, leaving you emaciated.]** **[Your choices now are:]** **[Option 1: Starting today, practice abstinence!]** **[Option 2: Continue nightly revelries, indulging in supreme bliss.]** **[Option 3: Embrace the demonic path, sacrificing the Arhat's golden body to gain immortal and supreme abilities from Zhu Jiu Yin!]** (End of chapter)
