Can Tricking Children Even Be Called Tricking Them?
Li Hao's lips curled slightly as he smiled.
Finally, someone had noticed this problem!
Immortal Li: "Literally speaking, your lives are tragedies."
Tragedies!
Everyone's hearts clenched, and their expressions changed.
After learning the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's fate, they could not help but wonder whether they were the same.
Even ants clung to life, let alone people.
Not even Little Dragon Maiden could ignore death, much less anyone else.
Immortal Li: "No, your futures are not tragedies."
Everyone was stunned and somewhat confused.
Immortal, what exactly did you mean? One moment you said they were tragedies, and the next you said they were not. Were you playing with them?
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "???"
Little Dragon Maiden: "???"
Little Yan Lingji: "???, (╥╯^╰╥), Brother Li is so mean, deliberately scaring me."
Li Xunhuan remained lost in thought.
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader remained deep in thought.
Immortal Li: "Your futures are clearly a tea table, covered in cups (tragedies). Contempt.JPG."
Everyone's eyes twitched, and they had the urge to beat Li Hao to death.
At the same time, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
A tea table!
That was too much!
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "!!!"
Little Dragon Maiden: "!!!"
Little Yan Lingji: "!!!"
Li Xunhuan: "!!!"
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was lurking.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Immortal, stop fooling around. You're scaring us to death. And isn't the tea table thing a bit too much?"
Immortal Li: "@Invincible Urchin Gu Santong, you were set up by your brother. Your wife took half a palm strike for you and became a living corpse. Your son ended up wandering the streets, surviving by stealing chickens and dogs. You yourself were locked in an underground prison, never to see daylight, and eventually died there alone and forsaken. Tell me, isn't your life one huge tea table, covered in cups?"
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong was utterly dumbfounded. The usual playful grin had vanished from his face, leaving only distraction and confusion upon his pale features.
Brother, wife, and son?
He had a son?
Wait, wait, this was not the time to worry about his wife and son. The question was, was this real?
Brother?
He had roamed the martial world for over a decade, but there were very few people he could call brothers.
Gu Santong's expression darkened as murderous intent surged in his heart.
He had never been a kind and virtuous man, nor one who sought fame and praise.
The Invincible Urchin was neither righteous nor evil!
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "@Immortal Li, could the Immortal please explain the causes and consequences in detail? I will surely repay you generously in the future."
Immortal Li: "@Little Dragon Maiden, your senior sister was driven out of the Ancient Tomb Sect and has always held a grudge. She has prepared a great gift for you. When you turn eighteen, you will surely know no peace."
Senior sister!
Eighteen!
Wouldn't that be two years from now?
Little Dragon Maiden's gaze narrowed slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Immortal, do you know my senior sister?"
Immortal Li: "You think that is the entirety of your life's tragedy? Wrong, terribly wrong. This is only the beginning of your tragedy. Your only family member will die saving someone not long after this incident, and then... Forget it, I won't say any more. Good luck, little girl."
Little Dragon Maiden clenched her pearly teeth, her bright eyes narrowing with cold glints.
Her senior sister would commit evil, Granny would die, and then there was herself!
Th-this was her future, merely an insignificant part of a life filled with tragedy!?
And that awful immortal—why had he only said half of it? Then... then what would happen!?
Little Dragon Maiden hugged her knees and trembled.
The outside world was so terrifying!
Pitiful, weak, and helpless—she even felt a little like dying. Well, and strangling that immortal while she was at it!
Compared to Invincible Urchin Gu Santong's anxiety and Little Dragon Maiden's panic and unease, Li Hao was having a great time.
Mocking the lives full of flaws of these fantasy-world characters was simply too much fun, wasn't it?
Immortal Li: "@Little Yan Lingji."
Little Yan Lingji: "Waaah! Brother Li, don't scare me like that, okay? I'm still just a pitiful and helpless child."
Little Yan Lingji: "Boohoohoo, at most, whenever I get something tasty or fun in the future, I'll share it with Brother Li."
Li Hao did not know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl really was different from that little enchantress in Nine Songs of the Sky.
Immortal Li: "Fine, then I won't tell you. In the future, you'll be defeated and captured, your entire clan will be slaughtered, and you'll be kept as a pet in an enormous fish tank made of ten-thousand-year crystal."
Silence!
The Chat Group fell completely silent.
Everyone's lips twitched slightly as they could not help rolling their eyes.
Vile!
Too vile!
At the same time, everyone's sympathy surged.
How pitiful—locked up as a pet in a huge fish tank made of ten-thousand-year crystal. Just how deep was that grudge, how great was that hatred?!
Little Yan Lingji: "Waaah waaah waaah, o(╥﹏╥)o, I don't want that! You're bullying me. I don't want to be locked in a fish tank, I don't want to be a pet."
Little Yan Lingji: "┭┮﹏┭┮, you're a bad person, bullying me. I'm telling Master, boohoo."
Little Yan Lingji: "Boohoohoo, I don't want this."
Watching Little Yan Lingji cry and fuss without end, Li Hao helplessly scratched his head.
It seemed he had gone a little too far.
Immortal Li: "Is it really such a big deal?"
Everyone was speechless, sending Li Hao a barrage of eye rolls.
And he called that not a big deal?
If they encountered something like that themselves, they would probably feel like dying, let alone Little Yan Lingji, who was only a child.
Yan Lingji continued sobbing, and the choked sound of her crying was unbearably heartbreaking.
Li Hao sighed helplessly.
Kids really were incredibly annoying!
He glanced around his small room before finally fixing his gaze on the table nearby.
Rainbow Candy!
Immortal Li sent Little Yan Lingji an exclusive red packet.
Little Yan Lingji claimed the exclusive red packet.
Baiyue.
Within the silent mountain forest, an earthen stockade could vaguely be seen.
The village was not large, with only around a thousand houses in total. Across the whole land of Huaxia, it was truly inconspicuous.
Inside the largest building in the village.
A little girl around eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a short crimson skirt, sat by the window.
Her features were exquisitely flawless. Her oval face still carried a hint of baby fat, while her bright eyes possessed a fox-like charm that seemed to steal one's soul. Though she was still so young, she had already begun to display the allure capable of bringing chaos to the world.
The little girl was none other than Little Yan Lingji, the peerless beauty who had yet to fully grow into herself.
Yet at this moment, Yan Lingji showed not the slightest trace of fear. She swung her pair of jade-like little feet as she happily played with a handful of brilliantly colored candies.
Her slender, crystalline fingers pinched a red candy, holding it up against the bright moon outside the window.
Yan Lingji narrowed her long, bewitching eyes and studied the candy at her fingertips beneath the moonlight, murmuring curiously, "What is this?"
And how had they suddenly appeared in her hand?
Could it be because of that red packet?
Resting her cheek on her jade-like hand, Yan Lingji stared at the candy in her palm, both puzzled and curious.
Immortal Li: "There, have some candy and stop crying. This little matter isn't impossible to resolve. At worst, this immortal will defy fate and change your destiny."
Defy fate and change destiny!
Everyone's pupils contracted, their faces filled with shock.
The big shot was freaking awesome!
