Chapter 473 Lay down Your Knief and Become a Buddha

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The night passed, but Liu Kexin did not sleep well. Her professionalism helped her to remain calm, but in her heart, the storm was still raging. Few girls could take such a psychological impact that easily.

When the first beam of light appeared in the sky, Liu Kexin noticed that Excellency Ape had opened his eyes. There was always a hint of aggression in his eyes, which made him seem like a formidable beast who was always out to terrify others.

Excellency Ape had been provoked many times by this little girl. He noticed her bloodshot eyes and assumed that she did not sleep well last night or she did not even sleep at all. Excellency Ape taunted her immediately, “You could not sleep last night? Frightened by the little show I gave last night?”

“So what?” Liu Kexin admitted directly, which was something he did not expect. She did not even seem embarrassed. Instead, she spoke sharply, “The little show? You mean your killing others last night? It is nothing to you because you are accustomed to slaughter. You are cold-blooded and ruthless. You don’t take humans as humans, except for me. I am a nurse in a hospital and a normal woman. But I have compassion. You are a powerful man who can kill a man easily without even sparing their blood, because you drain it from their bodies.”

Liu Kexin said in a shaky voice, “But I can’t do that, even if I have your ability. That is what makes me a human, not a beast like you… I know why you don’t want to see a doctor. Because it is not necessary. Even if you can have the appearance of a man, the beast will still live in your heart. And hearts are what define humankind. You are beyond saving.”

Excellency Ape sneered, but he did not seem angry. “I don’t care a fig about what you said. Only the weak will think that way. Only the strong will laugh at the end. Kindness is just what the weak clothes himself with.”

Liu Kexin suddenly laughed, “You said only the strong will laugh at the end. But did you laugh after you killed that man since yesterday?”

Excellency Ape snorted, without saying anything.

Liu Kexin, “Don’t lie to yourself. You are not capable of laughing. If all other men were killed by you, there would be nothing for you but loneliness. What will you get every time you kill? Nothing but one less man on this good earth to talk to and one more man who will be afraid of you.”

Excellency Ape’s eyes turned cold.

Liu Kexin said, “Don’t lie to yourself. You can’t have happiness or anything else. The more people who are afraid of you, the lonelier you will be. A happy person must have many friends who are willing to give him a helping hand and laugh with him. But who would dare to talk to you? You can ask anyone about that on the street. What else did you get from killing, except for loneliness?”

Excellency Ape said in a low and fierce voice, “You are not afraid of being killed, little girl? I understand now. You are trying to infuriate me so that I will kill you, right? Because you are afraid that I will use you as a hostage to trap and kill Mr. Dragon. It must be due to that.”

Liu Kexin snorted, “Don’t overrate yourself. That is the most you can do. Brother Bing will never be defeated by someone who is as cruel as you.”

Excellency Ape laughed, “You will see if that is true.”

Then he suddenly said in a low voice, “Lin Mu!”

Lin Mu opened his eyes immediately and looked at Excellency Ape reverently. Though Excellency Ape was not the strongest among the eight Buddhist generals, he was the one they respected most.

Excellency Ape noticed the awe in Lin Mu’s eyes and he suddenly recalled what Liu Kexin just said that every time he killed a man, he would have one less man to talk to and one more man to fear him. He would get nothing but loneliness.

No one had never said any of these to him before. No one dared to say that to his face. But he felt irritated when he recalled those words and saw the fear in Lin Mu’s eyes.

Before he would be eager to kill and drink human blood when he felt irritated. But the urge this time was not that strong because he suppressed it.

Excellency Ape said in a low voice, “Drive the car and find some food for us. They will come here and pick us up. I will not walk around with her.”

Lin Mu felt relieved because he was afraid of being killed by Excellency Ape. He had known all along that Excellency Ape must taste blood whenever he became agitated.

Lin Mu soon got into the car and drove away.

Liu Kexin asked, “Did you see the fear on his face? I suppose he would rather stay as far away from you as he can, so with everyone else. Now do you feel lonely?”

Excellency Ape did not answer her questions. He just eased himself beneath a tree and sat with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Actually Lin Mu should have realized that Excellency Ape’s temper had become much better, since he decided not to kill Liu Kexin and drain her blood, after her relentless sarcastic remarks.

Perhaps it was because he needed her to kill Xiao Bing. But did Excellency Ape seem like a man who could control his urges all because of a plan?.

Mr. Buddha might be the only man in this world who could control Excellency Ape when he was on a rampage. Otherwise he would never be willing to serve Mr. Buddha.

But Mr. Buddha was not here, which meant that Excellency Ape had managed to suppress his desire by himself. Or more likely, it was because of Liu Kexin.

Noticing that Excellency Ape was not answering her question, Liu Kexin sat on the ground and juggled some stones. But then she felt bored. “What is your real name? Excellency Ape?”

“Yes.” Excellency Ape replied with his eyes closed. He had never been this patient before.

Liu Kexin said in disbelief, “You don’t have a family name?”

Excellency Ape snorted, “Why do you have so many questions?”

“Alright. Actually, humans are born to be kind. I don’t know why you became like this. But I assume there is a reason behind it. Is it because you have a weird face? It is not your fault. Maybe we can find a way to change it. But even if we can’t, you should not always want to kill others. How can you stand and watch people screaming when you are killing them?”

Excellency Ape finally opened his eyes. He said impatiently, “You really do not seem to be afraid of death? Do you believe that I will eat you if you keep talking? Don’t think that I will not kill you because you are still of value to me. Don’t try to piss me off.”

Liu Kexin asked, “Won’t you will lonely if you have no one to talk to? It is okay if you want to devour me, as long as you can stop killing others.”

“You’re so… What’s that word? You think you are so noble?” Excellency Ape finally could not keep silent, “You stupid girl!”

“I said I just think that I am a normal person. Humans are all born to be kind…”

Excellency Ape said with disdain, “Born to be kind…”

Liu Kexin blazed, “You should not say it like that… Do you have any idea how good people can be? One doctor at our hospital once worked non-stop for a whole week when there was a wide spread virus across the country. But then he was infected by the virus and he died. A young man who once lived in the same building with me was killed by two rascals because he tried to stop them from violating a girl. He kept fighting with them in order to save the girl until he drew his last breath!”

Liu Kexin’s eyes became red and moist. “They exist in the world, even if you deny it. You can kill a man within seconds and you think that is powerful. But that man who saved the girl was a greater man. You are alive and are feared and hated by people. No one wants to have any contact with you. Though he died, he will be respected by the girl. But what about you?”

Excellency Ape sneered.

Liu Kexin said, “You sneer because you find it hard to deny it. Can’t you try to care about others to mitigate the violence in your heart? You should focus more on the beauty of this world… It is said that one can become a buddha if he drops his weapon. Though you may not be able to become a buddha, at least you will feel peaceful and happy if you stop killing.”

There was a hint of fierceness in Excellency Ape’s eyes, which made him seem about to burst out in anger at any moment. He suppressed the anger, but his face still turned purple with rage. “The beauty in this world? Humans are born to be kind? If I tell you that I am like this because I was abused by my parents, would you still say that this world is beautiful?”

Liu Kexin opened her mouth wide and murmured, “How is that possible…”

Xiao Bing and his followers got off the plane around midnight. Since he had taken a nap on the plane, he left the airport and bought some food. Then they headed toward their destination…
