Anyone who gets tricked by the heartless Daoist to the point of losing their lives is either a naive sweetie or holds a high moral baseline.
I want to see if you would turn a blind eye to death!
Indeed.
Upon hearing the words, the saintess turned back and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She seed to be pondering sothing, her face flickering with conflict and thought, finally sighing.
"Wan’er, carry her on your back, onto the carriage, and return to the Holy Sect together."
"Miss?!" The maid exclaid in surprise, "This, this isn’t proper, is it?"
"Just make sure no one finds out."
Having made up her mind, the saintess spoke in a lighter tone, with a tinge of coquetry.
"...Alright then."
Being carried on the back, there were so bumps, but... I successfully passed the hurdle.
Qi Xiaojin breathed a sigh of relief.
What follows is to slowly build my standing in the Black Withered Saint Sect.
...
Below the Big Snow Mountain, stretching across tens of kiloters to Little Stone Village.
"Monster! Get out of here! Monster!"
"Demon! It’s a demon!"
"Dad! Mom! I’m scared! I’m terrified!"
The children at the entrance of the village picked up stones and threw them at the monster covering its head.
With their cries, more villagers rushed over, ard with pitchforks and rakes, as if ready to fight for their lives.
The beaten monster, with half of its face a mutilated bloody ss, had maggots squirming in and out of its face.
Its right hand sported fiery red skin and sharp claws, bulky and terrifying as though it could tear a person in two with one swipe.
But at this mont, the monster simply hugged its head, whimpering in low sobs.
"I, I just wanted to ask for so food..."
"Don’t hit , please don’t hit , I’m not a demon! I’m not a demon!!"
The villagers attacked the monster, scaring it into fleeing away.
"Runs so fast! And it claims it’s not a demon!"
"Quickly inform the Foolish Underworld, send people to surround and hunt it down! How can we live in peace with such a demon nearby."
The ensuing discussions continued.
The fleeing monster, with half a human face, continued to shed tears.
"I’m not a demon... I’m not a demon!!"
"It’s all sister’s fault!!"
"It was sister who turned into this!!"
This monster was none other than Qi Xiaojin’s sister, Lian Xiaoya.
Turned into this state, she felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness and pain.
It seed as if there was no place for her in this vast world.
She longed to go ho.
"Lianyun Village..."
"I want to go back! I want to go back!!"
"Mom and Dad will surely understand , they will surely recognize !"
Her previously lost eyes now shone with determination.
She looked towards the village she had just left, waiting silently.
Waiting for the day to darken, night to fall, she sneaked in, devoured a feast, grabbed so dry food, and then traversed far from there.
This was Lian Xiaoya’s first ever theft in her life.
She had never thought that one day, she would be reduced to stealing others’ belongings for survival.
But in this state, she had lost the capacity to trade with ’people.’
"Limit it to stealing food..."
"Yes, just so!"
"I must not beco any worse!"
"I cannot beco like my sister!"
Hate burned in Lian Xiaoya’s eyes.
But she didn’t know that Lianyun Village, weakened by the loss of their elite hunting squad, was struggling to survive, seeking the protection of the Major Sects.
And the one extending a helping hand was... the Floral Fragrance Sect.
On the condition that Lianyun Village’s power structure be altered, that is, what’s commonly called, an assimilation.
"I, the Floral Fragrance Sect, offer tribute to the overlord of the Heiku Mountain Range, the Black WithereD Saint Sect!"
"By joining the Floral Fragrance Sect, your Lianyun Village will effectively part of the Black Withered Saint Sect, you should feel honored!"
Faced with the envoy, the Chief of Lianyun Village bowed his head in submission.
For the sake of the many lives in Lianyun Village, he had to compromise.
Overnight, Lianyun Village unexpectedly changed hands.
And all of this remained unknown to Lian Xiaoya, who was still on her journey.
...
While everyone else was busy cultivating their characters in the ga.
In reality, the door to Ye Shangming’s rented apartnt was once again kicked open.
"Pay up! Don’t you understand? Kid, pay up!"
The vicious-looking man, followed by seven or eight henchn wielding steel rods, swaggered in.
Ye Shangming clenched his fists, his head bowed, not daring to speak.
"Eh? Say what? Can’t hear you! Louder!"
Ye Shangming shook with a mix of fear and anger.
"...Feng Brother, please, give two more days!"
"Two more days of leniency?" The vicious man dragged out his words while slapping Ye Shangming’s face.
"I need to eat, you know. What am I supposed to eat if I give you two days?"
Slap!!
A forceful slap suddenly sent Ye Shangmin tumbling to the ground!
With a bang, he hit the bedside table, and a gaming helt rolled off.
Ye Shangmin’s face changed color. Just as he reached out to grab it, Brother Feng had already stepped ahead.
"Oi, this thing isn’t bad."
"Brother Feng, this is my..."
Bang!!
A kick landed on Ye Shangmin’s chest, causing him so much pain that he doubled over, coughing, and dared not move.
"I said this thing is good, didn’t say I’d take it away. What are you rushing for!"
Brother Feng said viciously.
"This device is important to you, right? Let borrow it for a couple of days. When you have enough money, co to to take it back."
The others started laughing uproariously.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Brother Feng is so an!"
"Kid, you’re still too green to play with Brother Feng!"
"This is just a warning. If you can’t co up with the money, don’t expect an easy life!"
"It doesn’t have to be this hard, young man. If you have no money, soone in your family must have so, right? Just make a phone call back ho. If that doesn’t work, let them borrow from us. We’re very generous; we always lend money!"
Hearing this, Ye Shangmin, who had been holding back all along, suddenly looked up with fury in his eyes.
But a single glance from Brother Feng scared him into bowing his head again.
He just clenched his teeth and said.
"Brother Feng, that helt is my livelihood. If you take it, I won’t be able to make money to pay you back!"
However, Brother Feng was already fiddling with the helt and was walking out with his group.
"That’s your problem. Rember, bring money to redeem your stuff. If we don’t see you or your money in three days, we’ll be back."
Bang!
The door closed, and the room returned to silence.
Only the disarrayed furnishings and the ss of broken furniture testified to what had just occurred.
Ye Shangmin clenched his fists.
Things had not developed at all as the parchnt had stated!
Becoming a millionaire.
Having a more hopeful life.
All lies!!
He felt as if he had plunged into an abyss, and the main cause of all this was the parchnt!!
With a snap, he stood up, yanked the parchnt hidden under the pillow, and Ye Shangmin roared, "Co out!!"
"What am I supposed to do now? Without the gaming helt, tell what to do!"
"If you don’t give an explanation today, I’m going to tear you to shreds!"
Silence.
Pause.
Then, text slowly erged.
[Without , what else do you have to turn your luck around?]
A simple sentence struck Ye Shangmin like a thunderbolt.
He stared with wide eyes, his body trembling, gritting his teeth with rage, but, he could only bite the bullet.
"What do you want to do? What should I do?"
[Do you... want power?]
Power?
Ye Shangmin was stunned.
"What do you an?"
[Be a good dog for , and I’ll give you everything you want.]
[Don’t resist, accept it!]
Sothing started to flow from the parchnt into his body.
Power... Power surged through him!!
Boom!!
His arm burst open.
His right hand transford into a blade of fresh blood!
The crystalline Blood Blade, as beautiful and dazzling as a gemstone.
"What, what is this?!"
Ye Shangmin stared in disbelief.
The parchnt had already defied common sense.
But the visual shock was nothing compared to the current Blood Blade.
[This is the power I have bestowed upon you.]
[Use this power, seek revenge, and retrieve your gaming helt!]
[You will beco a multimillionaire, and also the real master of this city.]
[The premise is, be a good dog for .]
Ye Shangmin fell silent, digesting, assimilating this information.
And then.
"Woof!"
It seed that even the parchnt had not expected Ye Shangmin to make such a sound.
After a pause, it suddenly burst out with text.
[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!]
[Good dog! Good dog!!]
[Kill! Use my power and have a good vent!]
