Su Changge felt somewhat helpless. Did he even have any room to refuse?
He could only put on a righteous face and say, "Please rest assured, Senior. I will certainly fulfill your request!"
Grand Void True Person nodded with a smile. "Not bad. Young people should have this kind of awareness."
"Awareness? If you wouldn't hold a grudge against me after I refused, I wouldn't even bother with you!" Su Changge grumbled inwardly. What awareness? This was outright coercion, wasn't it?
"Since I find you pleasing to the eye, I'll give you another good thing."
With a wave of Grand Void True Person's hand, a white Jade Pendant flew out from his sleeve.
The Jade Pendant emitted a faint white glow, its patterns carved with lifelike detail.
"This is Soul Guarding Immortal Jade. It can help you withstand three attacks on the soul," Grand Void True Person explained.
Su Changge was greatly startled. Soul attacks were strange and unpredictable, impossible to guard against!
With this Jade Pendant, it was practically a life-saving talisman!
"Thank you, Senior, for granting me this treasure!"
Fine, I take back what I said. That kidney-deficient Grand Void True Person still had a little conscience after all!
After chatting with him some more about the Immortal Domain, Su Changge was teleported back to the Returning Origin Holy Land.
"It seems some great upheaval once occurred in the Immortal Domain." Grand Void True Person's words had just allowed him to learn part of the truth.
But he did not dwell on it. His strength was still insufficient; only by becoming one of the strongest in this world would he be qualified to come into contact with such matters.
At this moment, he was already standing before the Returning Origin Holy Hall.
"The Teleportation Array is rather mysterious. It really sent me straight to the Holy Hall!"
Sky Peak Tower was now packed shoulder to shoulder with people. If he appeared there again, it would surely cause another uproar. He truly could not stand the disciples' fanatical enthusiasm!
"Right, it's time to claim my reward!"
"A lucky draw? I wonder what good item will come out!"
The instant Su Changge tapped to use the lucky draw—
A roulette wheel appeared in the void, with a pointer atop it.
"First prize? Grand prize? Mysterious prize?"
This roulette wheel was much like some of the prize draws from his previous life. It seemed it all came down to luck.
"Luck cannot save the unlucky! Spending cannot change one's fate! I, Su Changge, will definitely be a European emperor today!"
The roulette wheel spun at high speed before finally stopping in front of a slot.
"A mysterious prize?"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the mysterious grand prize, Aura Eye: When the Host's cultivation is higher than another's, the Host may view that person's fortune points. The higher one's fortune points, the more favored they are by the Heavenly Dao, and the more opportunities they obtain. Please note: Aura Eye can activate Aura Insight on a person once. This skill allows the Host to view the target's major fate trajectory.
Su Changge froze for a moment upon hearing this, then his face lit up with delight!
To view another person's fortune—wouldn't that mean he could directly identify people with great fortune in the future?
Such people were often favored by the Heavenly Dao and possessed their own special opportunities!
"If I discover them, then their opportunities..." An evil thought began to grow in Su Changge's heart.
Now that he had an Aura Eye, if he did not hunt down some Fortune's Children, would that be doing himself justice?
"Activate Aura Eye!"
A strange power began to grow within Su Changge's eyes.
Runes flowed in the depths of his pupils, golden light spreading through them, making them appear incomparably strange!
"It doesn't seem to feel particularly different. Should I find someone to try it on?"
Suddenly, he thought of someone. Wasn't his little maidservant a perfect candidate?
Her talent was exceptional, she was a Holy Daughter, and her appearance was peerlessly beautiful. Wasn't she the perfect template for a female lead in a fantasy novel?
Su Changge stepped into the Holy Hall.
Yun Xinyan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, her beautiful eyes shut tight as she immersed herself in cultivation.
As Su Changge focused his mind, the world before his eyes began to change continuously.
Buzz!
A line of golden words slowly appeared above Yun Xinyan's head: Yun Xinyan, Fortune Points: 232.
"232? Is that high or low?" Su Changge was completely at a loss. He had no point of reference, and he could not even see his own fortune points!
"Activate Aura Insight."
As he murmured, runes flowed through Su Changge's eyes once more, flashing with brilliant golden radiance.
Yun Xinyan: The eldest daughter of the Yun Clan of Wind Cloud City and Wind Cloud City's foremost prodigy. Because of an arranged marriage made while still in the womb, three years from now, her life would undergo a tremendous change. From then on, the favored daughter of heaven would lose her brilliance and fall into endless darkness.
"A three-year agreement?" Wasn't this the same old trope from some Battle Through the Heavens?
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never look down on a poor youth. A down-and-out young man rises against the heavens, then walks straight toward the pinnacle of life!"
"So that means what happens later should be Yun Xinyan's defeat and the decline of the entire Yun family." Su Changge could not help but feel black lines creep across his forehead. Sure enough, the same familiar ingredients, the same familiar formula!
If he had not awakened Aura Eye, perhaps he truly would have followed the script!
Since he had discovered it, then he had to stick a foot into it!
Nothing else mattered. He simply liked the feeling of slapping faces!
"Mm... Divine Son?"
At this moment, Yun Xinyan slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a trace of confusion on her face.
Seeing Su Changge studying her, she lowered her head with a faint blush.
"You're awake?"
Su Changge examined Yun Xinyan and smiled. "Perfect. I have something to do with you."
"Ah?? Something to do with me?"
Yun Xinyan was instantly bewildered. Though she had never experienced the ways of the world, she still knew a little about such things.
Her pretty face flushed faintly. "But I haven't prepared myself yet..."
"The Divine Son wants a lone man and woman to be alone in a room..." Yun Xinyan's head swam, her cheeks crimson as though they could drip water from shyness!
Wasn't it inappropriate to do that sort of thing in broad daylight?
But if it was the Divine Son...
Su Changge was somewhat puzzled. The weather was not hot, was it?
Why did she keep blushing at every turn?
"Divine Son, I'm ready. I'm not afraid of pain..."
As she spoke, Yun Xinyan closed her eyes again, looking as though she were ready to be plucked at his pleasure!
No matter how puzzled Su Changge had been, by now he understood what she was thinking!
This little girl actually...
Actually craved his body!
I treat you as a maidservant, yet you want to sleep with me?
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Now isn't the time to talk about such things."
Su Changge coughed. The Grand Yin Body was also of great use to him; in the future, he would certainly have to...
"Xinyan, do you have a fiancé?"
Clearly, Su Changge wanted to use this question to shift her embarrassment elsewhere.
As the Divine Son, and even more so as a man, he naturally had to give a shy young girl a way out!
Yun Xinyan was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. "Divine Son, how did you know I have a fiancé?"
"Cough, cough... As my maidservant, of course I know about you." Su Changge casually made up an excuse.
Yun Xinyan was a little suspicious, but also somewhat moved.
So the Divine Son cared so much about her!
"My fiancé is named Luo Yan. The reason for this began with my Father. Luo Yan's Father was the patriarch of a small family. My Father once encountered an accident, and that man saved his life."
"To thank him, Father decided to betroth me to his son, Luo Yan."
"But we have never met, and nothing has ever happened between us! Please believe me, Divine Son!" As she spoke, Yun Xinyan looked anxiously at Su Changge with her beautiful eyes, afraid that he might misunderstand.
"Rest assured. I believe my maidservant."
Only after hearing Su Changge say that did she breathe a sigh of relief and continue, "Later, Luo Yan's cultivation suddenly stopped advancing, and he even became the number one good-for-nothing in Wind Cloud City."
"Not only was I unwilling, Luo Yan himself also had someone he loved. So, in order to settle this matter once and for all, we made an agreement: three years later, during the arena competition, the victor could unilaterally annul the engagement."
"But perhaps Luo Yan truly is a Person of Heavenly Mandate. He found life in a desperate situation. Not long after making the agreement with me, he rose against the heavens and even became the newly appointed Holy Son of the Returning Unity Sect."
After listening to Yun Xinyan's account, Su Changge rubbed his chin. "Could he be this world's Fortune's Child?"
