The Xiarongbu Living Buddha slowly reached out a hand and pressed it against Eric's head. Eric felt as if he had been acupunctured and couldn't move at all, only able to watch as the translucent, jade-like hand gently touched his forehead.
Perhaps noticing Eric's slight nervousness, the Xiarongbu Living Buddha smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't make you uncomfortable. At most, you'll just feel a bit disoriented for a minute or two..."
The smile on the Xiarongbu Living Buddha's face made Eric feel like he was a weasel paying New Year's respects to a chicken. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to go along with it. It was only at this moment that he truly understood that the "Living Buddha" was not just a title without substance.
Of course, this didn't mean that Eric was completely defenseless. He still had one last move – to use the teleportation magic he had prepared on his body that could ignore spatial confinement and escape from this place!
