Even If I Die, I Have to Kiss You! In Other Words, She's So Cute!
The fortune teller suddenly made a frightening statement, then collapsed to the ground in shock, causing the surrounding tourists to scream and scatter in fear.
Kill me already?
Are these scams still around?
Xiao Ran stood up, smiling calmly.
I'll just watch your performance quietly.
Lingzhou Yue squatted down to the side and patted the old man's shoulder with a threatening yet ambiguous smile.
"I am Lingzhou Yue, and this is my apprentice. What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Upon hearing that it was Zongzhi Mountain Lingzhou Yue, the former Slaughtering Demon Killing God, the tourists breathed a sigh of relief.
Most people dispersed and went about their business.
A small group of fearless people remained on the sidelines, wanting to hear what the fortune teller had to say.
The old beggar breathed a slight sigh of relief, glancing nervously at Xiao Ran with an expression so realistic it didn't seem like he was acting.
"Elder Lingzhou... your disciple is no ordinary person."
Lingzhou Yue suddenly became interested.
"I'd like to hear how he's so unusual. How come even I didn't realize it?"
"The aura of misfortune on your disciple..."
The old beggar, halfway through his sentence, deliberately whispered:
"It's not just any kind of calamity, not just murder and arson, but the kind that destroys the world."
Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "What the hell is this 'disaster aura'? Can divine sense see it?"
"This is Heavenly Decree; how can divine sense perceive it?"
The old man glanced at Xiao Ran again.
"At first glance, your disciple appears to be destined for disaster, but upon closer inspection, he seems to be the one who brings disaster upon himself. Upon further inspection, he is even the one who inflicts disaster. You must kill him... cripple his Cultivation Level, and keep a close watch on him. Do not let him run around outside alone."
Lingzhou Yue turned her head and glanced at Xiao Ran, seemingly lost in thought, and said:
"His Cultivation Level is already at the lowest level, there's no need to cripple him. I will keep an eye on him."
"You actually believe that?"
Seeing his Master's serious expression, Xiao Ran was speechless and asked the old beggar again.
How do you see so much in a cartoon pig?
The old man shook his head.
"Painting is just to bring you closer. The moment you handed the painting to this old man, I understood."
Ah, this...
"Are you a scientific fortune teller? "Xiao Ran didn't know what to say.
The old man then earnestly said, "Young man, remember to walk the righteous path. Never have any obsessions, especially don't be fixated on any one person, otherwise you'll easily become possessed by demons."
Are you asking me to build Imperial Harem?
However, this old man actually saw through my obsession with my Master...
This is the power of the system!
You can tell too?
Seeing the close interaction between me and my Master, Xiao Ran guessed that we had some special relationship and, following the old man's lead, tentatively asked:
"Are there any other ways to avoid my misfortune?"
"You have twelve... no, ten distracting thoughts in your heart, only one of which is the righteousness in your heart. You are always at risk of being devoured by the nine evil thoughts..."
"It's that same old rounding-up routine again. What are the chances of it being exactly ten or twelve? It's getting more and more absurd. Let's go, Master. This old man is a fraud."
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, then grabbed his Master and turned to leave.
Lingzhou Yue was a little dizzy from listening.
"Is the calculation inaccurate? I'd like to calculate it for myself too."
Xiao Ran said decisively, "Of course not, it's just superstition."
Lingzhou Yue was taken aback.
"Idiot! Don't you dare ask him for a refund right now!"
She turned to run back, but Xiao Ran pulled her back.
"Forget it, doing business isn't easy these days, and I don't make much money anyway."
Xiao Ran appeared relaxed and nonchalant, seemingly unconcerned.
In fact, I was already feeling a chill down my spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
With his Resonance Divine Sense fully activated, he secretly observed the old beggar.
From any perspective, he's just an ordinary swindler.
If seeing his obsession with his Master was a coincidence, then aren't these twelve distracting thoughts just the eleven members of the Black Ring Group plus himself?
He immediately changed his story ten times, and even noticed that two of them had died?
Although in the Cultivation World, three, nine, ten, and twelve are all common round numbers.
But changing the number from twelve to ten seems too coincidental, doesn't it? Deduction techniques require a high level of Cultivation Level to perform; you're just a mortal...
Is there really such a thing as superstition in this world? Signs of impending disaster.
An omen of impending disaster.
A sign of impending disaster.
Devoted to one person.
Would I destroy the world for my Master?
Although this is absurd, if you were faced with this choice, how would you decide?
Is the world right in front of you more important? Or is the Master you're bound to by the system, who can make you infinitely stronger, more important?
Xiao Ran suddenly couldn't be as resolute as he had been when faced with Chen Gongxing's choice between two options; he couldn't even confront his own heart.
Let's take it one step at a time; who can predict the future?
He suddenly felt a desire to see his Master's fate.
But upon closer reflection, listening to it will be like my own destiny—only I can understand it, and to outsiders it will all sound like nonsense.
I'll look at it when I have time.
Lingzhou Yue didn't believe in disasters or anything like that at all. She had broken countless predictions of fate along the way, so who would still believe in such things?
She was interested in another prophecy.
As they walked, she suddenly took Xiao Ran's arm.
"This old man is quite interesting. He told you not to be fixated on one person. Who are you fixated on? Is it that dragon?"
He walked forward Xiao Ran an upright posture, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
"Master knows who I am fixated on."
"I have no idea."
"You know."
"I don't know."
Goodness, she's even starting to act all cute! She won't let me touch her, and she's being so flirtatious...
You want to get my heart for free?!
Xiao Ran deliberately remained silent.
Until I came across a clay figurine stall.
The items on display are all freshly carved jade figurines, with lifelike shapes and expressions just like real people.
"Okay, then I'll carve it."
Xiao Ran squatted down.
"Boss, can I sculpt a figure myself?"
The boss was an old man; this kind of craft can only be done well by an old man.
"Young man, you're very confident in your skills. That's fine, but the price must be the same: ten Spirit Stones, not a penny less."
"It's alright."
Xiao Ran glanced at it and saw that it was all mud made from ordinary nephrite. Although it was a bit expensive, it was worth it for his Master.
With Max Level Architecture and maxed-out paintings, sculpting is basically a natural skill.
Xiao Ran grabbed a handful of mud, quickly added color, and sculpted a cartoon version of his Master.
The character's body proportions were not deliberately exaggerated like the figurines from the previous life, because the Master's body was already incredibly voluptuous, and any further exaggeration would be unbearable.
So I simply made a steamed bun version of Master.
He sat cross-legged, Wine Bamboo Tube tucked between his chest and his legs, secretly drinking.
They look very cute.
"Your skill is truly remarkable..."
The old man squinted slightly; at first glance, it looked ugly, as if he had shaped it into a steamed bun.
Upon closer inspection, it was quite amusing; looking up at the fairy before him, he realized she possessed the exact same soul.
"That's brilliant."
The old man then praised.
Xiao Ran smiled.
"Haha, it seems you also have the soul of an anime fan, boss."
The old man stroked his beard slowly, revealing that this Qi Refining cultivator possessed such skill.
Generally speaking, cultivators can easily create figures that closely resemble real people, but they often lack a soul.
This young man, however, did the opposite; he sculpted a person into a steamed bun, complete with a lifelike spirit.
That's a master!
Lingzhou Yue glanced at the steamed bun and realized that it resembled her yet didn't.
"Is this me? How did I get so fat?"
When I held it in my hand, I was stunned for a moment.
That baby face, those big eyes, that upturned nose, those pouty lips, that chubby figure with a strangely beautiful charm despite being quite plump, those movements, those eyes, that posture... it's simply amazing.
It's hard to put this wonderful feeling into words.
In short, it's incredibly cute!
Lingzhou Yue was overjoyed. She turned to stare at Xiao Ran, her face stern with anger, her eyes deep and unfathomable, like the glint of a sword and the shimmer of water.
"Is this your dedication to your teacher?"
[Congratulations, host, you have gained 88 Filial Piety Points!]
Indeed, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy!
Xiao Ran glanced at his adorable steamed bun-shaped Master, then looked up to compare him to the otherworldly beauty that seemed to have stepped out of a celestial painting, and the graceful figure that appeared to have been sculpted by gods and demons...
Her cheeks were flushed with a hint of anger, and her shimmering eyes reflected the colorful lights of the street.
He thought that if no one was around, he would definitely kiss her.
I'd rather die than not kiss you!
