Chapter 104: Even Thieves Have Their Code

Long Xiaojiu carefully laid Lin Xinru under an old tree before cautiously removing the pendant from around her neck. A lifelike six-armed Twin-Eyed Buddha Statue suddenly came into her view, making her feel as if the eyes of the statue were watching her every move. It was as if the Buddha possessed a spirit, startling Long Xiaojiu considerably. This was entirely different from looking at pictures; the statue seemed alive, as if it were observing everything she was doing.

"This is absurd. How could a statue be alive? I must be seeing things. Yes, there's no doubt about it."

Not daring to look at the six-armed Twin-Eyed Buddha Statue on the pendant any longer, Long Xiaojiu quickly placed it into a deerskin pouch hanging at her waist, muttering words of self-comfort.
