Chapter 343 Divine Power is Destiny

"If it's really as powerful as you say, why don't you try it on me?"

"Chen Lingguan said provocatively."

Xiaolin pushed up her glasses and uttered three words calmly: "You don't deserve it."

"I'm ¥%##!"

Xie Lingxin frowned and called Wangcai over: "Throw him out and don't let him in."

"Ow!"

Okay, Master!

Wangcai howled, its head instantly grew larger, and it picked up the pale-faced Chen Lingguan and ran outside.

"Put me down! You can't do this to me!"

Shaking her head, Xie Ling thought to herself, "Why me?"

He didn't say anything to question it.

This is too bizarre, but it's not difficult to verify.

There's no need to tell such an easily exposed lie.

Kobayashi said, "Because you are the most amazing person I have ever met."

“I came from a humble background and worked my way up to where I am today at Thirteen O’Clock Convenience Store.”

"But because of my background, this is my limit. I know I can't climb any higher, not even one more step."

"This is the ceiling at the bottom, and I don't have the ability to break through it."

"Don't even mention aristocratic families, even ordinary large clans regard me as worthless mud, only fit to be their dogs."

He looked at me calmly and said, "But you are different."

“I know you. You came from the slums, but in a short period of time you transformed into a prodigy.”

"You are the only person I have met in all these years who can break through this ceiling, and in such a short period of time."

“I don’t mind being someone’s dog, but you have to be qualified, and you are the qualified one.”

When he said these words, it was as if he were recounting someone else's story, without any emotional fluctuation.

But Xie Lingxin could sense the hardship he had endured as he struggled to climb up the ladder of success from this almost indifferent demeanor.

"When a dog..."

Xie Lingxin suddenly realized.

"I was once a pet dog of the King of Huai, I will not follow the immortals to the mortal world..."

"Was there a Prince of Huainan in the domain you entered back then?"

Legend has it that Liu An, the King of Huainan during the Western Han Dynasty, was obsessed with cultivating Taoism and refining elixirs. After consuming the elixir, he ascended to heaven. The elixir scattered in his courtyard was accidentally eaten by his chickens and dogs, who also ascended to heaven with it.

This is what is known as "even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".

For the first time, Xiaolin showed a strange expression: "How did you know? I also questioned the demon who bestowed divine power upon me."

"It said that it was only by following its master that it was able to attain enlightenment. Its master was named Liu An, who was also the Prince of Huainan in the imperial court."

"However, the realm I entered was already occupied by the King of Huainan, who had ascended to immortality hundreds of years ago."

"I know you are not only a prodigy in cultivation, but also the youngest registered scripture master in the history of the Far East in the study of ancient scriptures. It is indeed true."

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "It seems you really know me well. You've investigated me?"

Kobayashi said matter-of-factly, "I don't need to investigate. You've never been secretive about what you do. As for being high-profile, you never seem to initiate any trouble."

"You may say you're low-key, but you often make quite a stir."

"In Tonggu Bay, the White Bone Buddha Kingdom, you once commanded a deity to ruin the White Lotus Society's plans,"

"In the East China Sea, you fought two dragons alone,"

"In the Dragon Palace Dead Zone, you single-handedly broke through the Dragon Palace's maze, and even the legendary genius of classical studies, known as a once-in-a-century master of artifacts, was defeated by you,"

"Even the Dragon King stood up for you, personally killing the third-in-command of the Three Saints Sect,"

"Not to mention what happened in Leizhou not long ago..."

"Alright, alright! Stop talking!"

Xie Lingxin quickly interrupted his "praise and admiration".

This made him blush...

It makes it sound like I'm someone who loves to cause trouble...

Kobayashi pushed up his glasses: "Although there is an unseen force covering for you, anyone who is attentive and pays a little attention can find out."

"To be honest, you are my idol."

Xie Lingxin: "..."

Did they run into fans?
This is the first time I've encountered something like this, and I'm a little embarrassed. What should I do?
The divine power of Huainan, the magical abilities of the wedding dress...

This guy, including his abilities, has a strong sense of contradiction and conflict that is both serious and funny, making him seem incredibly strange.

"You just said that divine power is destiny. What do you mean by that?"

Xie Lingxin changed the subject.

Although he was secretly pleased, he still felt a little embarrassed to be admired like that to his face.

"Divine power is destiny."

Xiao Lin said, "Literally, after I obtained the divine power of Huainan, I have been deliberately collecting information in this area."

"I discovered that divine power is extremely rare and precious in the Federation, so I have never dared to reveal my own divine power."

"Besides divine power itself, it often represents immense strength, and is also the legacy of a grandmaster or great mage,"

"That's because divine power also represents 'destiny'."

"I don't fully understand destiny, but to some extent, it represents a person's fortune,"

"As far as I know, 'luck' is what those aristocratic families value most,"

"Because for aristocratic families, opportunities and resources are not problems at all; the biggest obstacle restricting the cultivation of members of aristocratic families is the calamity energy."

"And fortune can loosen these shackles and eliminate the calamity to a certain extent. This is the greatest foundation for the survival of aristocratic families."

Kobayashi pushed up his slipping glasses and looked at Xie Lingxin: "Why do you think those aristocratic families established a federation in the first place? Instead of becoming independent kings like in ancient times and choosing to directly enslave the lower classes?"

"They are 'doing good deeds and accumulating merit,' that's their goal." "Federal citizens? They're just tools to them."

"But man proposes, God disposes. The federation they created has now become a shackle around their necks."

Xie Lingxin was greatly surprised by what she heard.

Besides what he said, it was also because Xiaolin's knowledge far exceeded his imagination.

"How could you say such a thing? These are things that someone from a humble background shouldn't know."

Even he didn't know this much.

Xiao Lin said, "This is my value. You are very strong, but there are always talented individuals who can break through the ranks of the aristocratic families before."

"But without exception, they were either assimilated by the powerful families or disappeared without a trace."

"The era when heroes emerged from humble beginnings came to an end after the great recovery."

"I dare not say what I can do for you, but with me here, I can do a lot for you."

"For example... I'll help you integrate resources."

"Integrate resources?"

Xie Lingxin didn't quite understand.

Kobayashi said, "You have a lot of resources, but you don't even realize that your management and use of resources is a complete mess, or even a waste."

"..."

Xie Lingxin was very dissatisfied.

Am I really that bad?

Kobayashi ignored his emotions and continued, "First of all, you understand Confucian classics,"

"I've watched your live stream. There aren't many on Far East Star who can compare to you in the ancient history of the classics,"

"This is your resource. Based on this alone, the money you can earn and the resources you can convert are beyond your imagination."

Xie Lingxin's eyes lit up.

Can it make money?
He had considered making money through live streaming, but after doing it for a while, he was overwhelmed with other things and didn't have many ideas.

Despite having a large fan base, there are few ways to monetize it.

For him now, that little bit of money is no longer of any interest.

Xiao Lin continued, "I also know that you possess several magical treasures."

"If I'm not mistaken, you made all of these yourself?"

"Ok?"

Xie Lingxin asked, "Why do you say that?"

He felt like Kobayashi's glasses were gleaming: "Given your background, you shouldn't have such a deep-rooted wealth, and you don't have the money to buy it."

"So I can't think of any other possibility besides refining it myself."

"..."

Is this praise or criticism?

"The ability to refine magical artifacts is almost as valuable as, and in some ways even surpasses, your mastery of scriptures."

"But you don't seem to know how to use it. As far as I know, you only used it to exchange benefits with a few scions of powerful families, letting them help you put on a show. Well, although that show was pretty impressive and quite enjoyable."

"..."

Xie Lingxin let out a long breath.

He was starting to lose his composure.

"besides……"

Kobayashi continued with his long-winded speech, which made him a little flustered.

"Alright, alright, I know you're done!"

Xie Lingxin interrupted directly, "Just tell me, if I agree, what can you do for me?"

Kobayashi's eyes gleamed brighter than his glasses: "I can help you make money, lots of money!"

"I can't guarantee I can get what you want, but as long as it's not too outrageous, I should be able to find it."

"Also, I'm very well-informed, and I'm also very smart."

"If I'm not mistaken, the woman's words just now, that scion of a prominent family, Xiao Longtu, came here to compete for destiny."

"This will be the first thing I do for you."

"Whether you agree or not, within three days I will present you with what Xiao Longtu wants to do."

“I’m 80% sure that this matter is also related to the ‘blood trade’ you’re looking for.”

"Once I've done it, then you can consider whether or not to let me be a dog."

"……enough!"

Xie Lingxin waved her hand and said, "I won't let you be a dog."

Xiaolin frowned slightly.

A bit of a miscalculation.

He has already laid out all his cards; any normal person shouldn't refuse.

Unless it's utterly hopeless.

But he was confident that his judgment was correct, so where did things go wrong?
Xie Ling thought to herself, "I don't like being someone's dog, and I don't like others being my dogs either."

"Why does a perfectly normal person keep talking about being someone's dog? Are you addicted to it?"

Xiaolin looked puzzled: "Why not?"

"Before I gained divine power, if I wanted to get something to eat, I had to rummage through trash cans. But trash cans were also the territory of many stray dogs, and I couldn't compete with them at all. Most of the time, I could only pick up what they missed."

"If you look at it that way, I was even worse than a dog back then."

"If you can have enough to eat, rise above others, and even become an immortal, what's wrong with being a dog? What's wrong with being a dog?"

"..."

Xie Lingxin thought that if this kid wasn't lying, then the root of his constant talk about being a dog probably lay here...
