Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

Chapter 10: Profound Buddhist Fate—Personally Shaving Xu Xian’s Head, Bidding Farewell to Xu Xian Forever:

[You arrived at Jinshan Temple. It remained unchanged from before, and the monks were shocked to see you return.]

[The reason was simple—years ago, Fa Hai had suppressed you.]

[However, to the monks of Jinshan Temple, you had merely vanished without a trace.]

[You approached a few familiar monks and asked about Elder Fa Hai’s whereabouts.]

[Overjoyed at your return, the monks eagerly led you to find Fa Hai.]

[Yet, when you found him, you were surprised to see Xu Xian there as well. Xu Xian looked utterly lost, his eyes vacant as if his soul had left his body, completely unresponsive to the world around him.]

[Fa Hai was not surprised in the slightest by your arrival.]

“Sinful creature, you have finally returned. At least you managed to subdue Bai Suzhen and save Xu Xian’s life—that can be considered a stroke of fortune.”

[Hearing Fa Hai call you a ‘sinful creature,’ you were instantly enraged.]

“Old bald donkey, do you have a death wish?”

[You immediately questioned Fa Hai, demanding to know why he refused to let go of Bai Suzhen.]

[Fa Hai explained that humans and demons walked different paths. The reason you remained unharmed was that you were the reincarnation of an Arhat, protected by your golden body.]

[But Xu Xian was different. Engaging in nightly pleasures with a mere paper effigy had drained his vital yang energy.]

[Bai Suzhen was not repaying a debt of gratitude—she was unknowingly leading him to his doom.]

[If Xu Xian’s yang energy was completely depleted, he wouldn’t just fail to fulfill his karmic path—he would also accumulate grave sins.]

[Fa Hai had long observed the tangled fate between you and Bai Suzhen. He had tried to subdue her multiple times, believing that her presence was interfering with your destiny, leading you astray into countless absurd actions.]

[After all, he had meditated upon it for a long time, yet he could not understand why you had poisoned the entire temple, attempted to kill him—your own master—and willingly descended into the demonic path.]

[In the end, he came to one conclusion.]

[It was all because of your karmic entanglement.]

[Karmic fate triggered a calamity.]

[The calamity clouded your mind, leading to everything that transpired.]

[To guide you back to the right path, Fa Hai chose to intervene personally, shattering the marriage between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.]

[Now, Xu Xian’s soul was nearly completely shattered. He would never be with Bai Suzhen again. Moreover, Xu Xian himself had deep Buddhist roots—if he became a monk, he was destined to become a great master of profound virtue.]

When Su Mo saw the way the story had unfolded, he was dumbfounded.

Good heavens.

Just… good heavens!

He never expected the plot to develop like this.

At this moment, Su Mo fully realized the power of Fated Romance. No matter how many detours he took, the system always found a way to realign the narrative.

[Suddenly, Fa Hai’s expression softened, and he spoke to you in a gentler tone.]

[He told you that if you personally shaved Xu Xian’s head and ordained him as a monk, their karmic ties would be completely severed, and you would finally be free to be with Bai Suzhen.]

[Your choices were:]

[Option 1: Reject Fa Hai’s offer and journey to Kunlun Mountain to steal the Celestial Ganoderma, restoring Xu Xian’s soul and allowing him to reunite with Bai Suzhen.]

[Option 2: Personally shave Xu Xian’s head, give him a Buddhist name, and take him as your disciple to guide him in cultivation.]

[Option 3: Let Xu Xian make his own choice, explaining everything to him first.]

Su Mo’s pupils widened when he saw the second option.

A single thought filled his mind.

Cuckolding him right before his eyes?

But…

Wasn’t that a little too exhilarating?

Then again…

Wasn’t the purpose of life to seek out excitement?

With that thought, Su Mo decisively chose Option 2.

[You chose to personally shave Xu Xian’s head, give him a Buddhist name, and accept him as your disciple.]

[Soon, Xu Xian had completed his tonsure ceremony. Your Buddhist name was “Liao Yin,” and the following generation would be “Ben.” Thus, you named Xu Xian “Ben Wu.”]

[A name derived from the phrase: “Originally, there was nothing; where could dust possibly gather?”**]

[With the completion of his ordination, Xu Xian ceased to exist—only the monk Ben Wu remained.]

[After the ceremony, his soul was fully restored.]

[Surprisingly, Xu Xian readily accepted his new path, experiencing an overwhelming sense of peace and enlightenment.]

[It was as if his entire life had been leading to this moment.]

[Meanwhile, back at your residence, Bai Suzhen also sensed a profound change in herself. The karmic ties that had once weighed upon her had completely vanished, leaving her feeling light as a feather.]

[You returned home, while Xu Xian—now Ben Wu—remained at Jinshan Temple.]

[You were eager to see how Bai Suzhen had changed.]

[When you arrived, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing greeted you warmly. At a glance, you could tell that Bai Suzhen’s karmic burdens were entirely gone. If she wished, she could ascend to immortality at any moment.]

[Bai Suzhen could not discern the reason behind this transformation, but she instinctively felt it was because of you.]

[She turned to you and asked:]

“Su Lang, my karmic burdens have completely disappeared, and my fate with Xu Xian has been fulfilled. I wonder what caused this change?”

[Seeing Bai Suzhen in such a state, you were genuinely happy.]

[So, you explained the reason to her.]

“Xu Xian has now joined the Buddhist order and become my disciple. Since he voluntarily severed your karmic bond, your debt has been repaid in full.”

“From now on, you are free of karmic entanglements and no longer bound by fate.”

[Hearing your explanation, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing were overjoyed, and that night, they decided to reward you.]

[And so, you finally experienced the bliss of being with both sisters at once.]

On the screen, Bai Suzhen arched her feet, unable to resist Su Mo and Xiao Qing’s relentless advances…

Seeing this, Su Mo sighed deeply.

If only he could have two such beauties by his side in real life, not even immortality could tempt him away.

But alas…

Simulations were just illusions.

In reality, he was still a lowly servant. Even as the steward of the dining hall, he held only slightly more status, but at his core, he was still a mere servant.

He let out a soft sigh.

Then, he refocused on the simulation.

If the past was any indication, once he fully established his bond with a romance character, major events would soon unfold—along with extreme choices.

Su Mo glanced out the window.

The sky was beginning to brighten.

Unknowingly, he had been immersed in the simulation all night.

In another half-hour, he would need to leave for work.

For now, he needed to conclude this simulation as quickly as possible.

He turned his attention back to Fated Romance.

[Time passed quickly. You spent six months of blissful days with Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.]

[However, even as the reincarnation of an Arhat, your body was still mortal. The constant indulgence with two demonesses was gradually depleting your life force, and you had become increasingly frail.]

[Now, you had another choice:]

[Option 1: Starting today, abstain from indulgence!]

[Option 2: Continue to indulge in nightly pleasures, immersing yourself in ecstasy.]

[Option 3: Abandon the Buddhist path and embrace the demonic way. Sacrifice your Arhat Golden Body to Candle Dragon in exchange for the supreme power of immortality!]
