destiny eternal calamity

Chapter 193: Fear of Loss, Fear of Gain

Li Wei quickly hugged Xie Youshan and sat on the bed.

"Shanshan, I know that the Heavenly Maidens are going to enter the Demon Clan to suppress the True Demon, which is why I didn't dare to form too deep a bond with Zhong Kuiying before."

"But the third Qingwan actually has Zhong Kuiying's memories."

"I don't know if they are the same person, but since they are reincarnations and have memories, my guilt towards Ying'er has been transferred to her."

"I don't want to neglect her anymore. Even if she leaves this world because of joining the Demon Clan, won't she just be reincarnated with her memories?"

As Li Wei said this, he was thinking of Zhao Yuqing.

That sharp-tongued celestial maiden seemed quite different; she had no memory of Li Wei. Furthermore, although her cultivation progressed rapidly, it wasn't like Zhong Kuiying and the others who could ascend to the heavens in one leap.

Upon hearing this, Xie Youshan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She desperately wanted to say that the truth about the Celestial Maiden's inheritance wasn't reincarnation, but rather—

But when Li Wei mentioned Zhong Kuiying, he felt much better and was no longer as regretful and upset as before, so he shut his mouth.

She probably now understood why the Queen Mother of the West didn't tell Li Wei the secret of the demons.

Although the woman's intention may have been to prevent Li Wei, the chosen one, from causing trouble, the result was actually a good thing for Li Wei.

"Husband, if you treat the celestial maiden as your good brother in every lifetime, she will definitely fall in love with you in the end and will not be satisfied with just brotherly and sisterly affection."

Xie Youshan lowered her head as she spoke, so that Li Wei could not see her somewhat worried expression.

Li Wei assumed she was just jealous.

"But my adoptive mother doesn't let outsiders have much contact with her. If she enters the Demon Tomb like a blank sheet of paper, it won't be a good thing for her."

Li Wei said after careful consideration.

He knew that in more than two thousand years, Zhong Kui Yao Hua would have to enter the Yao Chi Secret Realm to avoid calamity.

After that, the celestial maiden had to travel alone.

If her mind doesn't mature, she might be blinded by the allure of the world and forget her mission.

Whether it's experience or emotions, the celestial maiden needs a guide.

Rather than being led astray by the blond-haired man, Li Wei would rather be the guide for his adopted sister.

Zhong Kui Yaohua may have taken this into consideration, which is why she allowed her to have contact with Li Wei.

Upon hearing this, Xie Youshan understood Zhong Kuiyaohua's plan. "She's quite the matchmaker, even bringing together her godson and godson."

Xie Youshan's eyes darted around, and she became determined to make west Wangmu, her fake best friend, shoot herself in the foot.

"Okay, go to sleep early, honey."

She lay down on the bed, pulling Li Wei down with her.

Li Wei lay on the bed, gently stroking Xie Youshan's back, sorting out recent matters.

The matter of the Youchao clan's human emperor is largely settled. What we need to be careful about is finding a way to capture those men in black and eliminate them completely, otherwise the enemy will continue to lurk in the shadows and cause trouble.

Secondly, there is one's own cultivation. The demonic seed obtained from the Kongsang Sect may be able to replace the path of destiny and serve as the key to advancing to destiny.

However, for specific details, we may need to consult Zhong Kuiyaohua and Xie Youshan.

There's no rush; he has plenty of time in ancient times.

Finally, there is the matter of the development of the human race.

Seeing the novel gadgets Xie Youshan had made today, Li Wei realized that he could indeed drive the development of extraordinary technology.

Xie Youshan promised herself not to reveal her past life, so these things were not spread within Kunlun and the Mirage Clan.

However, after careful consideration, he decided to take the initiative to spread scientific methodology to the human race.

This suggests that the extraordinary artifacts of civilization he saw in later generations originated from himself.

He disliked this feeling of being trapped in a cycle of fate, but he couldn't abandon the right approach just to break free from it.

By doing this, he can gain the fortune of the human race and also give the human race some self-protection power in the natural disaster three thousand years later.

Most importantly, as a time traveler, he can bring those achievements back to the future.

In this way, we will have an additional source of power for the Immortal Realm in the future.

The next morning, Li Wei circulated his internal energy for a while before going up to the second floor and entering the Xuanpu.

In the month or so since he arrived in the ancient world, he has been carefully studying the martial arts techniques he has been practicing, especially the internal skills that have not yet reached perfection.

At this time, about one-tenth of the life-giving substances in the world remained, which still made the martial arts training of the human race extremely simple.

Next time we come, we might not get this benefit.

That's why he's so diligent.

Upon entering Xuanpu, before he even reached the small courtyard where Third Qingwan lived, he saw Third Qingwan walking towards him.

"Brother, you've come!"

"Qingwan, you can just call me brother from now on. Also, my real name is Li Wei, Wei Li is actually my alias."

The title of elder brother should be inherited from Zhong Kuiying, but Li Wei felt that it did not quite fit the personality of the third sister, Qingwan and lively.

That's why he made the third Qingwan call him brother.

"Yes, brother~"

Hmm, that feels good. It's a little tight, but Li Wei likes it.

After all, if a girl becomes a "clip" in front of you, it means she wants to build a cute image in your mind.

Third, Qingwan walked ahead, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Zhong Kuiying, you still don't know your brother's real name in the end. I've beaten you by so many times."

After Li Wei arrived at the courtyard, the two chatted for a while, and then Qingwan wanted to hear a story.

Li Wei paused for a moment, then mentioned a youth novel he had read in his previous life. He remembered that book so vividly that he easily recited it.

"The story I'm going to tell today is about Lu Mingfei, who was just an ordinary, clueless high school student. But a letter from Kassel College changed his mundane life —"

"Brother, what does 'high school student' mean, and what does 'academy' mean?"

"High school students are roughly sixteen or seventeen-year-old human teenagers, but they train together in a place called a high school. An academy is an advanced version of a high school; our Kunlun is an academy for humans."

Li Wei explained carefully.

I'm talking about this novel for two reasons: firstly, because it's so memorable, and secondly, because it's a way to fill time explaining terms that Qingwan doesn't understand.

To avoid it becoming like Journey to the West, which couldn't last more than a month before it was over.

As Qingwan listened, she roughly understood that the "word spirit" in the story was something similar to supernatural power, but it could only be inherited through bloodline, which was somewhat similar to the innate supernatural power of the demon race.

The ordinary people in the story do not have extraordinary abilities such as martial arts.

The Kassel College, on the other hand, is a special academy for dragonborn individuals with special abilities.

She quickly became engrossed in the listening.

Li Wei kept talking about how Lu Mingfei was teased by his classmates, and then the red-haired senior came to his rescue and drove away in a luxury car.

It was already night.

The story isn't very long, but there are many terms to explain, such as confession, cars, and the meanings represented by car brands, etc.

"The protagonist gives me a feeling of being both afraid of losing and afraid of gaining, which I don't really like, but the story is very interesting."

Thirdly, Qingwan commented.

The thought that she would be leaving this world in a year made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Wasn't she also afraid of both losing and gaining?
