She was supposed to be a rare genius who achieved martial dao cultivation against overwhelming odds and ascended to the spirit realm.
How had her fate changed?
Xiao Shou looked at Chen Yufei who was still crying while holding onto him and suddenly realized that this child was actually the one who was originally supposed to die young.
Her hands were severed, she was tortured through the entire night.
With Chen Yufei’s mortal body, she never should have been able to endure it.
Su Rourou, being a martial cultivator, was the only reason she managed to survive until now by sheer luck.
If Xiao Shou had not co, these two girls would have followed the original story: one dying young, the other ascending to the spirit realm.
Because he had co, he saved Chen Yufei, but in doing so, he had destroyed the fate of the girl nad Su Rourou.
Was this the butterfly effect?
How rciful, yet how cruel.
For Chen Yufei, it was rcy.
For Su Rourou, it was cruelty.
For a mont, Xiao Shou’s mind flashed with images.
If he had not transmigrated, Fu Young would have died miserably in that alley.
Chen Yufei would have died with a mangled corpse and a face full of terror.
No.
It was not that his existence was wrong.
His transmigration was not about right or wrong.
The mistake lay with those who rcilessly hard children and he still had the ability to change things.
After pulling his thoughts back from the dead end, Xiao Shou bent down and gently patted Chen Yufei’s head.
He then took out a jade bottle and handed it to her.
In a gentle voice he said, "Good child, stop crying. This bottle contains mid-grade Life Rejuvenation Pills. Take them and give them to your friend. It should be enough to preserve her life. When she wakes up, tell her this for . My sect has a thod to reconstruct the body, but it can only be used by disciples of my sect. However, once you join, you will be bound by many rules, and even returning ho would require the sect’s permission."
"Is that true? I’ll go tell Rourou right now."
Chen Yufei’s crying stopped at Xiao Shou’s gentle words.
She asked in disbelief, but did not wait for an answer.
She imdiately grabbed the jade bottle and ran outside.
After a few steps, she suddenly rembered sothing.
She turned back and shoved the storage bag she had been holding all along into Xiao Shou’s hands.
"Senior Xiao, all the Spirit Sand is in here. It’s for you."
After saying that, she turned around and ran off with pattering footsteps.
While holding the storage bag, Xiao Shou thought about finally being able to try fusion the Spirit Sand.
It had been a long ti since he last created sothing new and he was quite excited.
But when he looked up, he saw the Chen brothers watching him with aningful expressions.
Thinking of Chen Yufei’s abnormal eyes that could see through everything within a thousand ters, Xiao Shou imdiately realized that he absolutely could not use his Absolute Fusion ability in this house.
If he did, he would be exposed instantly.
He took a breath and forced a fake smile.
"Both of you, I still have so matters to attend to. I will leave the city for a bit today and return before the city gates close tonight. I will take my leave now."
"Senior Xiao... please take care."
When Chen Qingzhi said the words "senior," he pronounced each syllable slowly and deliberately.
Xiao Shou understood imdiately.
The other party had seen through his cultivation level and was expressing dissatisfaction with his act of pretending to be a senior cultivator.
He simply acted as if he did not notice, nodded, then summoned his wooden crane puppet and flew away.
After a while in the Chen family courtyard, Chen Qingzhi finally asked,
"Brother, is what he said true? Can a destroyed body really be reconstructed?"
"It can," Chen Zhiyi replied slowly. "I have heard that when a body is destroyed, it can be rebuilt upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage. It can also be reconstructed using upper, middle, or lower grade Creation Pills. There is also a natural treasure called the Body Shaping Spring that has the sa effect. However, all three of these are controlled by major sects. This Senior Xiao... she seems to be no ordinary person."
He sighed.
"Qingzhi, you should change your attitude toward him in the future. Without him, Yufei might have... Sh does not have a martial cultivator’s physique and would not have been able to survive. In a way, Senior Xiao is our Yufei’s savior. Our Chen family should not treat a benefactor like this."
"Alright, I understand, brother. Also, we should not let Yufei go out casually anymore. She has no cultivation and it is too dangerous outside."
Chen Yufei imdiately clenched his fists.
Thinking of how his sister had nearly been hard, his teeth itched with rage.
"If I ever et that madman, I will definitely kill him."
Chen Zhiyi seed not to hear his words.
After a brief silence, he said with a faint sense of lancholy, "In this world, having no cultivation is just as dangerous. It is all nothing more than the law of the jungle."
Soon after leaving White Silver City, Xiao Shou did not know that the Chen brothers had already begun to slightly change their impression of him.
After leaving the city, Xiao Shou who is eager to create new fusion items, casually flew around on his wooden crane puppet for a while.
He then found a remote desolate area with no sign of human presence and landed.
He casually set up a small Tier 3 concealnt and defense formation, then impatiently poured out a portion of Spirit Sand from his storage bag.
The Spirit Sand had a slightly gray color and ca in granular form, each grain about the size of a rice kernel.
