I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Give me the hotel address and room number...I'll come find you."

Xue Wan couldn't feel at ease without seeing her brother's condition with her own eyes.

"Also... there are some things I need to tell you."

Xue Jing chuckled on the other end of the phone, gave the hotel address and room number, and then said, "Come on over, I also have something to tell you."

Xue Wan hung up the phone, placed it on her bulging chest, and looked much more relaxed.

She glanced back in the direction of Fengda Horticulture Institute, then turned and left.

……

Chapter 136 The truth comes out: I am also a recipient of the gift, the King of No Appearance and the King of a Thousand Appearances (4K)

Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating half of Xue Jing's face as he sat upright on the sofa.

He crossed his arms, a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he were pondering something.

After a while, there was a knocking sound at the door.

The sound was very soft. Xue Jing came to his senses, but instead of getting up, he moved his finger.

The shadow at the doorway was drawn out by black energy, which condensed into a materialized shadow hand and turned the doorknob.

Holding her cat, Xue Wan looked a little uneasy when she saw the door open. She was about to speak, but she didn't see her younger brother.

He walked in with a puzzled look, passed through the corridor in the room, and came to the living room, where he saw Xue Jing sitting on the sofa, half of his body shrouded in shadow.

He didn't speak, just sat there, shrouded in shadow, only half of his face showing a calm expression as he looked at Xue Wan.

That posture, with its inexplicable aura of a mafia godfather, made Xue Wan, who was already feeling guilty, look even more timid.

"Sister, please sit down."

Xue Jing spoke in a completely flat tone.

Xue Wan: "..."

She released the cat and then carefully walked up to Xue Jing.

Instead of sitting down on a chair or sofa, he knelt down in front of Xue Jing and placed his hands on his knees.

"Wang~"

Xue Wan barked like a puppy trying to please its owner, her pretty face displaying an obvious cute expression. She found the most adorable angle and looked up at Xue Jing from below, her large, bright eyes full of innocence.

Xue Jing: "..."

For this shameless woman, it was completely effortless to adopt such a groveling attitude towards her younger brother.

Ever since she lost a game to her younger brother when they were kids, and without hesitation barked "woof woof woof" under the vow that "if you don't pay up, you're a dog," she abandoned her dignity as an older sister.

From then on, every time he did something wrong, he would act like a dog in front of Xue Jing and beg for forgiveness.

"Behave yourself and sit down." Xue Jing was no longer buying her act and simply said expressionlessly.

"Oh..." Xue Wan's face was full of obedience. She took her hands off Xue Jing's knees, maintained her kneeling posture, moved back a couple of times, and then sat up straight, just like children sitting in a row eating fruit.

"Do you realize you were wrong?"

"I know, I was wrong, woof~" Xue Wan admitted her mistake without hesitation.

Xue Jing asked expressionlessly, "What did I do wrong?"

Xue Wan remained kneeling, her hands resting on her thighs, and obediently said:

"He not only kept things from his family when they were in trouble, but also overestimated his abilities and tried to solve them on his own, which ended up dragging his younger brother into the mess."

Xue Jing clicked his tongue: "Don't you understand perfectly well?"

Although it was his classic three-pronged approach, seeing her actively admitting her mistakes and earnestly accepting her lesson, he found it difficult to lash out.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing asked, "When did this happen?"

"Two months ago... my mentor, Professor Lü, showed me a performance that made a seed bloom instantly..."

Xue Wan honestly recounted what had happened.

"After watching it, she asked me if I wanted to learn it, and I said yes. Then she took me directly to the ceremony to receive the blessing..."

She scratched her head, a charmingly innocent look appearing on her pretty face: "I thought it was just a magic trick, but it turned out to be real, ahahaha, hahaha, hahaha..."

Under Xue Jing's expressionless gaze, her laughter grew softer and softer, and she returned to her obedient demeanor.

Xue Jing thought for a moment, then continued, "How are you feeling now? What's your mutation rate?"

Xue Wan exclaimed in surprise, "You even know this, Young Master Jing?"

"I caught that woman and questioned her a lot," Xue Jing said.

"A woman? What does she look like?" Xue Wan asked, tilting her head.

"The left eye is colored."

"It's Sister Qin? You actually caught Sister Qin?"

Xue Wan looked on in shock and admiration, "You're amazing, Master Jing!"

Although her expression was deliberately exaggerated and ingratiating, there was also a genuine hint of surprise.

After being separated from her brother by her mentor, she received a call from a classmate who said there was an incident at the school gate and asked her to come and see what was going on. Only then did she realize that something was wrong and rushed to the scene.

Upon arriving at the scene, she saw obvious signs of battle belonging to the recipients of the Flower Goddess's blessing. Considering the time Xue Jing had left the school earlier, she deduced that something had happened to her younger brother.

He then received a call from Xue Jing and rushed to the hotel.

She wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of what happened.

As far as she knew, the plant called Nagucha cultivated by Sister Qin was almost the absolute nemesis of martial artists.

As the younger brother of a martial artist, he actually managed to defeat her and even capture her...

"That man said he wanted to convert me to the religion, to perform a consecration ceremony for me, and to make me believe in your Lord of a Thousand Reds and Myriad Beauties."

“I didn’t agree, but she tried to force me to go through with it, kidnap me and take me back to her place, and force me into this situation.”

"It was your mentor, Professor Lü, who instructed her."

Xue Jing gave a brief explanation.

After listening, Xue Wan basically understood the reason for the whole thing.

A complex look crossed her eyes as she spoke softly, "Don't worry, A-Jing, this won't happen again... I'll protect you."

Xue Jing coughed lightly.

"Speaking of which, I also have something to say to you."

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Actually, I didn't win against that woman using martial arts."

Xue Wan looked puzzled. "Huh?"

Then, as if she had just realized something, Xue Wan stood up in shock and slammed her hand on the table next to her.

"You didn't lose to her, so you used your body to seduce her, and then turned on her while she was moaning in bed—!!"

Xue Jing's lips twitched, and he directly used Shadow Flame to activate a palm, slapping her on the head with a crisp sound.

"What are you thinking about? You're getting too carried away."

Xue Jing said helplessly.

Xue Wan covered her head where she had been slapped, looked at the Shadow Flame Hand floating beside her, and blinked.

"This is?"

Xue Jing crossed his arms and placed them under his chin: "Sister, I'm coming clean."

"I am also a recipient of this gift!"

Xue Wan's eyes widened: "You too...?"

"how so……"

she murmured.

Being a recipient of the gift is a very dangerous profession. One must live in fear of being corrupted and alienated for life, never knowing when one will lose oneself and transform into a monster.

Making contact with this hidden world is extremely dangerous. The friction between different sects, the hunt by that semi-official mad organization, and the struggle for limited spots on the 'stairs' are far more than just a matter of life and death.

What she least wanted to see was her family being dragged into this world by her.

However, his most cherished younger brother... also became a recipient of the gift.

Xue Wan did not doubt Xue Jing's words. The black flame right hand floating beside her was the best proof. This was clearly an 'unconventional' power that ordinary people could not control.

Her gaze turned serious, and she asked:

"Ah Jing, which religious sect held the ceremony to bestow blessings upon you? Which other god bestowed these blessings upon you?"

Xue Jing blinked and gave the reason he had already thought of.

"No sect, in fact, I don't even know why I became a recipient."

"All I know is that the other god who blessed me is named..."

"—The King with No Appearance and a Thousand Appearances."

Xue Jing said slowly.

That name... he made it up.

He had just made up his mind.

The exposure of his divine abilities was inevitable, and he had to find a reasonable explanation for the origin of his powers.

The sheer power and irrationality of divine skills can only be explained by the equally irrational power of the recipients, the alien gods.

Therefore, he decided to present himself as a recipient of a gift!
