2914 Kongkong, You’re Too Cute
“Benefactress!”
She raised her hand and lightly tapped the little bald monk’s forehead. “Do you still remember how you got here?”
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 monk’s recent experiences, tears welled up in his eyes. “When those two came to take me back, they claimed that Master Abbot had sent for me.”
“I hugged Benefactor’s Mom and cried for a while. Saying my goodbyes to Benefactor’s siblings and family made me quite sad during the journey.”
“They didn’t provide me with vegetarian food.”
“I felt my stomach growling from hunger along the way.” 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 mother’s cooking skills. During the journey from Sikong Planet to the Divine Province, he seemed to have suffered a great hardship—no food to eat!
“I had initially thought of digging up some mushrooms to make soup, but the couple said it would take too much time.”
“Afterward, I lost all sense of consciousness. I suspect they might have drugged me, and I’ve been in a daze since then.” The little monk continued to chatter, his bright and glistening eyes focused on Qiao Mu. “Benefactress, do you have any vegetarian buns?”
Qiao Mu couldn’t 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. “Where is your inner world? What about the Storage Talisman? There’s plenty of food inside. Why aren’t you eating?”
The little monk shook his head. “Benefactress, as the saying goes, wealth should be kept hidden. Although I have no intention of harming others, I must remain cautious.”
Mo Lian’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but want to facepalm.
He really wanted to explain to the little monk that those two vegetarian buns weren’t worth much, and if he wanted to share them, no one would try to take them away.
“Besides, we’re not in dire straits, so there’s no need to dip into my food reserves.”
Qiao Mu: …
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.
She reached out and lifted the small bald monk, pressing a kiss onto his smooth head. “Kongkong, don’t be like this in the future. If you have any doubts, you can confide in His Excellency.”
“Benefactress, will you bring Benefactor’s parents and siblings to visit me?”
“I will.” Qiao Mu’s gaze was determined and filled with anticipation. “Soon.”
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, “Benefactress, 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~”
Qiao Mu: …
Mo Lian’s mouth twitched intensely as she scooped up the little monk with one hand. “Enough!”
