Zhouzhou already had quite a bit of merit, but when the Buddha's merit arrived, it didn't fill in the missing part—it simply added another layer to the areas where she already had merit. The areas where her merit had already been accumulated grew even brighter, making the gap in the middle more obvious.
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou froze for a moment. Quickly, she came to her senses. She let out a little yelp, immediately covering her head and pouting with a pitiful look at Yiyun.
"I don't know what happened," she said, almost on the verge of tears. "I've been working so hard, but there's still one piece missing."
She could almost taste the victory that was within her reach, yet there was still that tiny bit of progress lacking, and it made her start to doubt whether Ancestral Master had been tricking her all along. There was no such thing as adjusting her fate to gain wealth—he just wanted her to do his bidding.
At this thought, Zhouzhou shot Ancestral Master a resentful glance.
