The distraught woman finally snapped awake, and her eyes shifted slightly when she heard Qi Yuan's words.
Thank me?
The woman seemed to realize something, turned around, and looked at the Buddha Stupa on the mountain peak with a devout expression.
"I thank the Great Buddha for manifesting divine skills to rescue a faithful woman from fire and water.
I will certainly practice vegetarianism and chant Buddha's name with sincere devotion!"
As she spoke, she even kowtowed several times, her attitude very earnest.
Qi Yuan was stunned by this scene and felt a bit unhappy, "You thank the Buddha, but shouldn't you thank me too?"
But the woman replied, "Your coming to rescue me, all is arranged by Buddha, a faithful woman naturally thanks Buddha!"
In her eyes, there was not a trace of gratitude towards Qi Yuan, her savior.
Or perhaps she did not want to feel grateful; after all, wouldn't gratitude require compensation?
