The Spiritual Snake, enraged upon hearing this, snatched back its inner core. Unfortunately, it couldn't kill the Abbot and fled.
"That's how it went," Huang Cuihua said as the noodles in her bowl were starting to get clumpy. She picked up her chopsticks and gobbled down a few mouthfuls. "Afterwards, she changed her form. The landlady you saw, that's actually the woman who betrayed the Abbot back then."
"As for those monks, I have no idea."
Sangmo kept his head down, slurping his noodles. When he heard this, he weakly raised his hand and said, "I know."
"Those monks were conscripted into the temple. They were consumed by loneliness and often went to the shop to harass the landlady."
"What!" Huang Cuihua gasped in surprise. "They even dared to lay their hands on her, despite her dignified appearance. Tsk tsk tsk."
Next to her, Guan Nan was visibly uneasy. "This monk feels ashamed. I had no idea about any of this."
