Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 249 World of Famous Works 38

In the kitchen, Lin Xiaoqian had just ladled a bowl of cheese, mashed potato, and meat wontons into a bowl when a hand reached out from behind and took it away.

Lin Xiaoqian turned his head and saw that the incarnation of Bodhi Patriarch, who had appeared in the kitchen at some point, was putting a wonton into his mouth with a spoon. He didn't seem to mind the heat and was eating with great relish.

Her eyes were brighter than before. She swallowed the wonton in her mouth and kept praising it: "Oh my, what a wonderful texture! It's smooth, rich, and fragrant. This is the first time I've ever tasted such a complex and wonderful food. Young lady, in terms of cooking skills, I'm afraid no one in this world can compare to you."

After saying that, he put another wonton into his mouth.

Lin Xiaoqian twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm glad you're enjoying your meal."

She turned around and continued cooking wontons; there was still a large group of customers waiting outside.

While eating wontons, the avatar behind her said, "Give this old man a bowl of those potato and wonton soup too."

Lin Xiaoqian replied casually, "Sure, but you'll have to pay."

How can you be so shameless as to eat and drink for free like a deity?

The avatar, acting like a rogue, said, "Money? What money? Didn't you want to acknowledge me as your master, little girl? I agree. In a moment, you'll kowtow three times to me, and these wontons will be your tribute to your master."

If Lin Xiaoqian had known before that she could become Bodhi Patriarch's disciple, she would have jumped for joy. But now, she seems a little resistant. What should I do?

Besides, Lin Xiaoqian didn't take his words seriously and pretended not to hear them.

But when evening came, just as the shop closed, the avatar set up a tea table and lit an incense burner in the lobby, and then made Lin Xiaoqian kowtow to him.

Lin Xiaoqian was dumbfounded. He gave a dry laugh and said, "Hehe, old man, I was just saying that I wanted to become your apprentice. You don't have to take it seriously. If you want to eat anything, just tell me. You don't necessarily have to take me as your apprentice."

"Hey, little girl, do you really think I only took you as my apprentice just to eat a bowl of your wontons?" The avatar questioned Lin Xiaoqian with an expression that seemed to say, "Am I really that greedy?"

Lin Xiaoqian quickly waved her hand, "That's not what I meant."

The avatar outside him smiled and nodded in satisfaction: "Then come and kowtow."

Lin Xiaoqian quickly added, "Wait, wait, you want to take me as a disciple, Patriarch Bodhi... um, does he know your true form?"

His avatar frowned, looking at her as if she were an idiot. "He is me, and I am him. Why wouldn't he know? Alright, stop nagging. If you don't become his disciple soon, the auspicious time will have passed."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his beggar's clothes transformed into a golden Taoist robe embroidered with runes.

He turned and sat upright in the chair, his previous lazy demeanor completely gone. His entire aura was as if he had become a completely different person, dignified and solemn.

This appearance does indeed resemble the image of Bodhi Patriarch that she had imagined.

However, this feels a bit like forcing someone into a situation.

But then again, Bodhi Patriarch was a big shot, and countless people outside wanted to become his disciples but couldn't find a way to do so.

Moreover, in this world, having a powerful backer like Bodhi Patriarch significantly enhances one's safety.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoqian sincerely knelt down before Bodhi and kowtowed three times.

Just as he finished kowtowing, a majestic voice rang out from above, "From this day forward, you are my disciple. I bestow upon you the Daoist name, Juechen."

Lin Xiaoqian's face darkened; this Taoist title really sounded like a monk's.

"Haha, my good disciple, get up quickly."

Hearing the voice above her head had clearly returned to its previous nonsensical manner, Lin Xiaoqian looked up and saw that her newly acquired cheap master had indeed reverted to his beggar form.

Seeing his tattered clothes, bare feet, and unkempt appearance, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, I remember that immortals have magic to clean themselves up, right?"

Bodhi looked at her with displeasure: "What do you mean? You just became my disciple and you're already looking down on me?"

Lin Xiaoqian quickly waved her hand, her expression serious, and said, "No, absolutely not."

Bodhi snorted, "What do you know? This is what it means to be carefree and unrestrained."

She smiled and approached Bodhi, pouring him a glass of water. "Master is right. Um, Master, in our sect, don't new disciples receive an initiation ceremony?"

She is now considered Monkey King's junior sister. She remembers that in addition to teaching Monkey King seventy-two transformations, Patriarch Bodhi also gave him a somersault cloud.

We can't expect to have nothing left when it comes to her.

Bodhi looked at her mockingly: "You unworthy disciple, you just became my disciple and you're already asking me for things. Fine, take this and play with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white lotus flower appeared in his palm.

Lin Xiaoqian asked him curiously, "Master, what is this?"

"This is a spiritual treasure made from a lotus seed that is modeled after the Chaos Green Lotus, which is transformed into a twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus. It has the ability to purify impurities and provide defense and protection. Although it is an acquired spiritual treasure, it still possesses seventy percent of the power of a twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus."

Lin Xiaoqian's eyes widened, filled with surprise and disbelief, as she carefully took the snow-white lotus flower with both hands.

The moment she touched it, a cool and pure aura instantly spread from her fingertips throughout her body. Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and every pore on her body seemed to cheer and greedily absorb the aura.

Lin Xiaoqian felt as comfortable as if she had drunk an ice-cold cola on a hot summer day, and quickly said to Bodhi, "Master, I really like this. Thank you, Master!"

Bodhi waved his hand, then suddenly adopted a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

But Lin Xiaoqian was engrossed in studying the white lotus and didn't notice him, so Bodhi coughed twice to attract Lin Xiaoqian's attention.

Lin Xiaoqian looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Master, is your throat uncomfortable?" Can immortals also feel unwell?

Bodhi shook his head and said seriously, "I heard that you went to Wuzhuang Temple before and gave that old bastard Zhenyuanzi a lot of good stuff?"

Lin Xiaoqian was stunned. Master even knew this?

However, now that Master is one of us, we can't let others have something while we don't.

So Lin Xiaoqian took out all sorts of electronic gadgets, including tablets, computers, and game consoles.

"Master, take a look, which one do you like?"

Bodhi's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the pile in front of him, "Tell your master what these are used for?"

For every electronic device Lin Xiaoqian introduced, Puti would take one. Finally, he put all the electronic devices into his sleeve and disappeared.

He left only one sentence: "My dear disciple, I need to go into seclusion for a while. Don't look for me unless it's important, because you won't be able to find me even if it is."

Lin Xiaoqian was speechless. What kind of weird master had she chosen?
