33: Chapter 33 The Might of Divine Grace_1

33 -33 The Might of Divine Grace_1

“What the hell?”

Lin Baici frowned, straightened up, and looked around.

The train had stopped at a station five minutes ago.

Could it be that a passenger had forgotten their luggage?

That’s not right!

The sense of hunger was too strong; it wasn’t something caused by losing an item worth a few thousand yuan.

“Could it be that there are taboo things on this train?”

Lin Baici rubbed his belly, deciding not to figure it out.

It was past 11 a.m., and some people began to prepare instant noodles for lunch.

The rich aroma of the seasoning packets spread, keeping Lin Baici from sleeping.

He put on his headphones and listened to Jay Chou’s songs, continuing to read his novel.

Song Li wasn’t the type to pester incessantly.

Seeing that Lin Baici wasn’t interested in her, she gave up, started chatting with the sycophants, sent a few selfies, acted coquettishly, and fed them some “dog food.”

Unluckily for 18D, he repeatedly tried to strike up a conversation with Song Li, offering her snacks and drinks, but she only responded indifferently with noncommittal hums.

As noon approached, the shouts of children, conversations of passengers, and the sound of TikTok videos played out loud mixed together, turning the carriage into a noisy market.

Suddenly, a roaring curse from a middle-aged woman overpowered all the noise.

“This is a public place; why can’t I watch TikTok?”

The woman, in her forties, had dyed red hair curled up, dressed in a light purple dress, with slack skin around her neck and a gold necklace hanging from it.

“You can watch, but please use headphones!”

The one speaking was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

If it were any other day, he would have let it be, but today his wife was feeling very unwell.

She was suffering from motion sickness and was over eight months pregnant, in need of ample rest.

So he asked the woman in front to lower her volume, but she was set in her ways.

This led to an argument between the two of them.

“Wearing or not wearing headphones is my freedom!”

The woman was adamant: “Besides, wearing headphones might cause my hearing to deteriorate.

Will you be responsible?”

“So you just don’t care about others?”

The man with the glasses wasn’t very good at arguing.

“If you think it’s too noisy, you can switch seats with someone else!”

The woman spoke rapidly, like a machine gun: “Everyone else isn’t bothered by the noise, only you are.

What are you, so delicate, a flower grown in a greenhouse?”

“It’s not me; it’s affecting my wife!”

The man with the glasses explained.

In reality, everyone was annoyed by the woman playing TikTok loudly enough for the whole carriage to hear, but no one confronted her directly.

After all, it might lead to a quarrel.

“Looking at your wife’s belly, she’s eight or nine months along, right?

Instead of taking proper rest at home, why are you wandering around?

Isn’t she uncomfortable due to her own actions?”

The woman retorted.

“Stop arguing!”

The pregnant woman looked in pain and tugged at her husband’s arm, asking him to sit down.

“We are going back to our hometown!”

The man with glasses had his parents back in his hometown, so having the baby there would mean someone to help take care of it.

“Look at you, not young anymore, your wife pregnant and yet you’re traveling such a long distance.

Can’t afford to rent a car, or take a plane home?

Your life is really fucking pathetic!”

The woman began to attack him personally.

“How can you speak like that?”

The face of the man with the glasses turned red in an instant.

That remark hit a sore spot for him.

In middle age, the fear of being labeled unsuccessful and not making much money is all too real.

“What?

You want to hit someone, huh!” The woman jumped up, stood on the chair, and was even more aggressive than the man with the glasses: “Go on, hit me here!”

The woman patted her face.

“If you don’t make me bankrupt, you lose!”

The nearby passengers were divided, some enjoying the drama, others advising the man with the glasses to let it go.

This woman, upon first look, was clearly not meek; arguing further would surely disadvantage the man with glasses.

The man with glasses had never publicly argued with anyone before.

He was ashamed and flustered, his entire face flushed: “I…

I’ll expose you online!”

“Get on with it, take my photo, expose me as much as you can, post it on several sites!”

The woman was unfazed: “My son is a well-known lawyer in Haijing.

If you dare to expose me, I’ll take you to court!”

The woman wasn’t foolish; seeing passengers filming her, she used these words as a threat.

“Stop arguing!”

The pregnant woman was in distress.

The man with the glasses ceased his aggressive stance, looking all the more defeated, his posture slumped, his expression even more dejected.

The woman, as the victor, smugly crossed her legs high, continuing to watch her videos out loud.

Lin Baici took off his headphones.

If this had been before his visit to Dragon Temple, Lin Baici wouldn’t have bothered to intervene, but now…

“I am a God Hunter!”

Lin Baici stood up and walked towards the woman.

Song Li and 18D looked over at Lin Baici.

What’s this kid going to do?

Does he want a taste of being berated?

The two almost pictured Lin Baici returning in shameful defeat.

“Ma’am!” freёweɓnovel.com

Lin Baici stopped next to the woman, his attitude indifferent, not even willing to offer a polite “Auntie.”

Swish!

The crowd turned to look.

“Who are you calling ma’am?”

The woman immediately fought back: “Are you blind?

Do I look that old?”

Lin Baici chuckled and stopped calling her ‘ma’am.’ He leaned over, one hand on the back of the chair, activated Mantra Buddha Resound, and spoke softly to the woman.

“At your age, can watching short videos prolong your life?

You should be reciting sutras, doing good deeds, striving to accumulate virtue—only then might you live a few years longer!”

With the blessing of Mantra Buddha Resound, Lin Baici’s words became wise, rational, and full of zen charm.

The woman’s head felt as if it had been struck by the Tathagata Buddha himself, awoken by a single enlightening statement.

“Right, watching these short videos won’t extend my life, I should listen to scriptures, do good deeds, and accumulate virtue and morality!”

The auntie’s eyes lit up.

If it weren’t for Lin Baici’s youthful appearance, she would have addressed him as a master right away.

“Not causing trouble for others is the simplest of good deeds!”

Lin Baici persuaded gently, “For example, playing noisy sounds that disturb the public!”

“Yes!

Yes!

It’s my fault!”

The auntie quickly silenced her phone, and the sense of triumph she had felt from winning the previous argument also disappeared without a trace.

She felt so childish.

Winning or losing,

it didn’t matter.

“Thank you for understanding!”

Lin Baici smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Truly worthy of Divine Grace, so impressive!

The Mantra Buddha Resound, this Divine Grace, allowed the voice of a God Hunter to be filled with tranquility, their words could clear the mind and spirit, drive away fear, and cut through three thousand worries.

At the same time, it could make listeners let go of everything, without desires or wants.

To put it bluntly, it was entering sage mode.

Of course, the influence on listeners affected by the Buddha’s sounds was temporary, lasting only a few minutes at least, and a day or two at most, before this influence would fade away.

Lin Baici had no intention of making the auntie become a nun; he just wanted her to stay quiet for this journey.

People nearby were all looking at Lin Baici with astonishment.

What did this young man do?

That daunting auntie actually obediently listened to him and muted her phone?

How miraculous!

Lin Baici returned to his seat and sat down.

Song Li and 18D were dumbfounded.

“What did you say to her?”

Song Li’s curiosity could kill a hundred cats.

The passengers in the surrounding seats perked up their ears, too.

“Nothing much, just talked some sense into her!”

Lin Baici gave a noncommittal response.

“You’re kidding, right?”

Song Li clearly didn’t believe it.

The glasses-wearing man had also reasoned with her, and even threatened to expose her by video, but ended up being doused in metaphorical dog’s blood.

So, what made you different?

It couldn’t possibly be because you’re more attractive, could it?

Lin Baici merely shrugged his shoulders.

It was nearly noon, and many people began to eat.

Boxed meals on high-speed trains aren’t cheap, with even the cheapest costing forty or fifty yuan, and few people buy them.

Most passengers eat instant noodles they brought themselves, and others who find it too much hassle eat some bread, ham, or biscuits to fill their stomachs until they can eat properly after disembarking.

The dining car came by, and the attendant asked if anyone wanted to purchase a boxed meal.

“Give me one.”

The boy in 18D wasn’t willing to mistreat himself, and besides, he was in the presence of a lady; he couldn’t afford to look poor.

“Which set meal would you like?”

The attendant stopped and described the types of boxed meals available.

“Give me a chicken rice meal!”

18D opened his WeChat app.

He had good eyesight and saw the price—it was 45 yuan, not only expensive but also the cheapest boxed meal available.

A bit of a rip-off.

After scanning the QR code to pay, 18D looked back at Lin Baici, his face expressionless, but his heart was filled with a sense of superiority.

After the attendant left, 18D opened his boxed meal, mixed the vegetables and rice, and took a couple of bites, when a girl stood in front of him.

“Handsome guy, can we switch seats?”

18D instinctively looked up and then was stunned.

Wow, what a size!

It obstructed the view of the girl’s face as 18D tried to look at her.

Lin Baici turned his head to look over and was also taken aback.

He had thought Kim Myungjin was peerless, but this girl was even more explosive—were all the body’s fats concentrated here?

“Change seats?”

18D finally got a clear view of the girl’s face.

About twenty years old, with an innocent appearance.

At first glance, she bore a strong resemblance to actress Yui Aragaki; her mouth wasn’t large, her eyes were bright, and when she looked at someone, there was a seriousness that conveyed a sense of power.

She wore light blue and pure white sneakers, her long legs wrapped by loose-fitting sports pants, and she donned a sun protection coat with the zipper undone, revealing a flesh-colored sports vest underneath.

“Yeah, switch seats!”

The girl had a loud and clear voice, with a sweet smile.

Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, and it bounced energetically as she turned her head.

This was an exceptionally pretty girl!

And for 18D, she was the most beautiful woman he had seen in his eighteen years of life, making him feel flustered.

Normally, 18D would have agreed without a second thought, but today…

He turned his head and glanced at Song Li.

At least let me get her WeChat before leaving!

18D felt that with some effort, he could win this girl over and start his four years of university on a high note.

Lin Baici saw 18D’s reluctant gaze and couldn’t help shaking his head.

If you knew she had HIV, I bet you’d run as far away as possible.

The girl saw 18D’s hesitation and didn’t insist, instead turning to Song Li, “Beauty, can we switch seats?”

Song Li’s female intuition told her that this girl was definitely targeting Lin Baici.

She didn’t want to switch, but the girl’s next words made her agree.
