Chapter 28: Luck and Misfortune Entwined
At the same time as Lin Yali joined the spiritual song, another girl began to walk through the forest, her body was covered with a lot of mud, as if she had just fallen, the moonlight stained her short hair white, and she looked like a little earthen, with a shiny light bulb on her head.
Jiang Xiaolin is now distressed about her bad luck, as the god of calamity, even she herself can't resist the arrival of these disasters, just now she stepped into the air and fell into the dirt pit, and now she climbed out and found herself lost.
The night was dark, and she couldn't find her way back, so she could only grope her way forward little by little. Her goal is a log cabin in the mountains. But it was pitch black everywhere, not to mention the cabins, not even a ghost. Perhaps after more than ten years of being a human being, she found herself in a little afraid of the dark.
"There are no ghosts here. β
As soon as she finished speaking, a gloomy wind blew past her, and the grass and trees were rustled by the gust of wind, and she was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth. But when the wind stopped, there was still a strange sound coming from a haystack, as if someone was walking in her direction.
Jiang Xiaolin's heart suddenly lifted, she didn't dare to move, she was afraid of revealing her position. Who made her a god of decay, so even if you don't look at her, you know that behind the haystack must not be a good thing.
The voice was getting closer and closer, as if it was coming directly at her. At this point, she had given up hiding and was ready to fight, knowing that with her bad luck, she could be found even if she hid.
Finally, the haystack was removed, and a black figure appeared in front of Jiang Xiaolin.
"Yo, it seems that I'm lucky, isn't this the god who escaped?"
Hearing that the other party recognized him, Jiang Xiaolin secretly said that he was unlucky. If it's okay to have a beast, but it's a human, I'm afraid that a fight now will attract the entire forest of supernatural people.
As the dark figure of the human figure stepped out of the haystack, the moonlight finally revealed his true face.
"It's you!"
Su Qianli looked at Jiang Xiaolin with a smile on his face, he didn't expect that he would be so lucky, originally he was just looking for an elixir for a breakthrough, but he encountered something more precious than the elixir. If he hadn't killed Tong Xiaoyu halfway last time, he would have already succeeded, and now that he meets him again, he will definitely not easily miss this opportunity.
"It's an honor, I didn't expect the gods to remember me as a mortal. β
"Hmph, do you want to attack me again?"
"Who in the world doesn't yearn for immortality?"
"Immortality? Perhaps your human feelings are more precious than immortality. β
I don't know what your gods are thinking, how many people have killed their relatives and friends for a piece of your flesh. How many people have sacrificed their wives and children to gain strength. Maybe you don't see the world of the supernatural, this is a world where there are no emotions to speak of, and I am one of the cultivators, and I cultivate the ruthless truth. β
Jiang Xiaolin's words seemed to stimulate Su Qianli's heart, and his eyes widened as if he was crazy, telling the cruel reality of the world of the supernatural.
"It looks like you've been through something, but I don't think the world will be like this. You know that I am a god, and I am in charge of calamity and misfortune, but even if it is, I have someone who is willing to accept it. You know? I had the world's luck when I was incarnated, and I thought it was the reason why I was accepted by my parents, but now when I go back to that home, they still smile even though they bring countless disasters and they say to me as long as you're okay, have you ever experienced that feeling? β
"How do you know they're not lying to you, maybe they know who you are and ready to eat your flesh? You don't understand what hypocritical creatures people are. β
Looking at Su Qianli who looked like crazy in front of him, Jiang Xiaolin couldn't understand why he was so extreme.
"They won't lie to me. β
"The gods are naΓ―ve, too. Maybe I used to be as naΓ―ve as you, but when I understood the laws of survival in this world, everything changed. I was an orphan who had been left in the woods on a rainy night by my heartless parents, I don't know why, maybe I was born of an affair with them. Finally a couple picked me up and at first they treated me like their own children, I was grateful to them, but ......"
"But?"
"But they also betrayed me, and when I was twelve years old, I was sold by them for a price that would allow them to build a decent little bungalow. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know what was right and wrong, so I was stupidly tricked into an underground casino. β
"Underground casinos? What is that?"
"It's a place of loss of dignity, and if the gods knew what a brothel was, they would know what it was, where I cried and shouted the names of my adoptive parents, but all I could get was a beating. Eventually, I gave in, the blur of flesh and blood made it impossible for me to hold on, and I wanted to live. β
"Haven't you thought about running away?"
"Maybe you don't understand it, it's the darkest place in the whole new town, and it's impossible to escape once you enter it. At first, I was just treated like a handyman, after all, my body was so scarred that I couldn't be looked at at me. I listened to the screams every day and trembled to do my job, even if I was healed, I didn't publicize it, and I repeated the torment of each day like a robot. β
Jiang Xiaolin lowered her head, although she was the god of calamity, she still couldn't calm down when she heard the misfortunes of others.
"Why, this can't be listened to? This is just the beginning. I work hard every day like a robot, and I feel like doing so will buy my safety. I thought I was lucky for three years, but everything was a conspiracy, and the owner there was a man with a special fetish, and everything was a foregone conclusion when he bought me. β
Su Qianli continued to speak, as if he wanted to exhaust all the bitter water. And Jiang Xiaolin has also raised her head, she is the god of calamity, and she has the obligation to listen to the misfortunes of others.
"He locked me in a room and tore my clothes like a wild beast, I was fifteen years old at the time, but I still had no ability to resist in the face of a middle-aged man. Can you imagine a boy being raped by a middle-aged man? Perhaps that is the most humiliating image in the world. β
As if remembering that memory, Su Qianli's face showed fear and anger.
"But now that you're standing here, and you're an anomalous, you don't have to remember the past. β
"Do you know how I got this identity? Coincidentally, the day I was raped coincided with my master's smashing of the shop, as if the high-ranking officials in the new city had hired him, and I was accepted as a disciple by him at a glance. I also thought that there would never be more days of suffering, but everything was not as good as I imagined. He asked me to provide him with one liter of blood every month before he was willing to teach me to cultivate, and later I learned that I had a great talent for cultivation, and he just wanted to take this talent for himself. But I said yes anyway because I didn't have a choice. β
Su Qianli has gradually calmed down, and he is speaking more and more peacefully, as if he is telling someone else's story. It's just that Jiang Xiaolin knows that his heart is still trembling.
"Maybe I'm not qualified to say that, but you're really unlucky. β
"Are you sympathetic to me, or do you still think there is such a thing as emotion in the world, and if so, why no one has ever pitied me when I was wailing. β
"I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, the luck and misfortune in this world will never be balanced, not everyone can be lucky forever, and no one will be forever unhappy. β
"You're right, so all my misfortunes have made me lucky now. My masters, my adoptive parents, and those who hurt me are all dead, right before my eyes. You know what? Maybe there's something in the world that can change misfortune, and that kind of thing is called power. And I've got the power of a god!"
Jiang Xiaolin frowned, she tried to feel the energy on Su Qianli's body, but he was very well restrained, and he didn't release it a little bit.
"Don't bother, you can't sense it, after all, it took me more than a month to hide. It's a pity that I didn't get the power of immortality, after all, I only got a heart. β
"Why, like you, the gods live in pain every day, and why don't you show your mercy?"
"Don't be stupid, if I want to get rid of this unbearable past, I have to get her power, the power that makes people lucky. β
Jiang Xiaolin seemed to think of something, and her anger immediately washed away her sympathy for Su Qianli.
"Did you kill the god of luck?"
"Not me, to be exact, you're the first god I've ever seen, I just took five liters of blood to exchange for a heart. But I was really lucky, I didn't expect that that little heart to hide her power. It was it that changed me, and I am now the best among cultivators, sought after by many people. But that's not enough, I need more strength, and that eternal life. β
Su Qianli's eyes gradually revealed a bloodthirstiness, and Jiang Xiaolin couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and a wolf howl came from a distance and became the fuse between them.
