Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Chen Zhou paused for a moment, then spoke: "Is it alright to just say it like that? Especially since I just said it would destroy souls?"

John said, "There are some things that, if you don't say them out loud, you'll be resentful in your next life."

"Even if you destroy my soul, I will still say it."

The scene and words had a strong sense of déjà vu, reminding Chen Zhou of a day after he had researched the method of dividing and distributing Qi.

……

Ever since the Qi Luck Dividing Method came into existence, anyone in the cultivation world who knew Chen Zhou's identity would launch a collective attack against him.

Therefore, Chen Zhou always kept his true identity a closely guarded secret when going into dungeons.

That day was an ordinary day, after finishing a dungeon run.

A travel-worn girl in hemp clothing and a bamboo hat arrived outside the courtyard where Chen Zhou lived.

When Chen Zhou returned from the dungeon, he immediately saw the girl squatting at the door.

Since it appeared outside his own courtyard, Chen Zhou used his pupil technique to take a look.

Poor aptitude, bad luck, no cultivation, a complete mortal.

Perhaps they fled from some famine.

Thinking this, Chen Zhou took out a bottle of fasting pills from his storage bag and handed it to her.

Under the girl's surprised gaze, Chen Zhou said, "It's very filling; one piece can last for ten days to half a month."

The girl's eyes lit up, but it wasn't the kind of joy Chen Zhou had imagined when he saw food.

"I know you!" the girl said earnestly.

Chen Zhou keenly sensed something was wrong, and then led the girl into the courtyard.

Then, Chen Zhou set up an array, his killing intent rising: "Since you know who I am, are you here to die?"

The girl immediately knelt down: "I am not afraid. I came here to ask Immortal Chen to impart his teachings."

Chen Zhou: "I don't have anything here that ordinary people can learn."

Girl: "Yes, there is a method for distributing and enriching one's fortune."

Chen Zhou looked at the girl kneeling on the ground; her face was full of determination.

"If you know the method of distributing fortune, then you should know the consequences of obtaining it."

Even I wouldn't dare reveal my true identity.

"If you obtain it, your entire family will be wiped out."

The girl said, "I'm the only one left in my family. I want revenge! I want all cultivators in the cultivation world to know that mortals are also lives, and they can't just kill them at will! But I lack luck. Even with my talent, I couldn't defeat the cultivator who killed my family until my death."

"I want the mundane to remain mundane, and the spiritual to remain spiritual."

"Only the method of distributing fortune can give me the possibility of becoming stronger and the opportunity to achieve my goals!"

"I humbly request that the Immortal Chen teach me!"

The girl's voice was very firm, and after she finished speaking, she began to kowtow, seemingly to show her sincerity.

Chen Zhou took out a jade slip from his storage bag, the contents of which were his method of fortune distribution that he constantly verified and updated.

He waved the jade slip: "What you want is right here, but what I want to hear is not these empty and grandiose goals, but your real goals."

Chen Zhou was willing to give the girl this chance because he saw the same look in her eyes as he had back then.

Back then, no one had the choice.

Now, he wants to give a girl with the same eyes a chance.

The girl stopped kowtowing; blood had begun to seep from her forehead.

She looked into Chen Zhou's eyes and said, word by word, "Sever the connection between heaven and earth!"

Chen Zhou: "Specifically?"

The girl said, "I've found a group of like-minded friends to practice the method of distributing fortune, starting my cultivation from the mortal realm."

Chen Zhou: "Isn't that just the same as the cultivators worshipped by those mortal dynasties? It's just a different title."

The girl shook her head: "To be precise, I want to establish a dynasty composed of mortals who cultivate the method of fortune distribution."

"This dynasty will grow stronger by hunting down cultivators and sharing their fortune."

"Once the dynasty has accumulated enough power, it will declare war on all cultivators and drive them out of the mortal realm."

Chen Zhou: "Suppose you successfully drive away all the cultivators, what about you? By practicing the method of distributing Qi and fortune, you are also cultivators. The mortal mountain is just another one that has been replaced."

The girl shook her head: "We will be the enforcers guarding the area. Our only responsibility is to prevent cultivators from entering the mortal realm. We will not interfere in anything concerning the mortal world!"

Chen Zhou: "Everyone in the world is white, but I am the only one who is black? That's interesting."

He crouched down, looking into the girl's determined eyes: "Have you ever considered that I am also a cultivator?"

"Does that include me among those you're kicking out?"

Girl: "Including!"

She answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation, giving her answer instantly.

"Such a decisive answer? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

The girl said, "I'm afraid, but there are some things I still need to say. My will will not waver because of my identity! Even if you kill me, I will still speak."

Chen Zhou nodded and tossed the jade slip to the girl: "Okay, here you go. If any cultivator's luck is stolen in the future, you can attach it to me."

The girl received the method of distributing fortune, her tone somewhat confused: "Why?"

She didn't understand why Chen Zhou would have the idea of ​​helping them.

Chen Zhou did not answer, because he simply wanted to see how far the girl's unrealistic goal could go.

In the beginning, they will be very weak, and Chen Zhou doesn't mind providing some small help.

"I have given you the method of distributing Qi and fortune. Now let's talk about another issue: how did you know I was Chen Zhou?"

……

The image of John before me seemed to overlap with that of the girl from back then.

"Okay, I promise."

"After you've done these two things, go and be reborn as soon as possible."

At the same time, Chen Zhou asked the little manipulator, "Was the child who provided food to John Chen Ming?"

The little figure nodded: "It is indeed Chen Ming."

Chen Zhou nodded slightly and said to John, "Come with me, I'll take you to see the child who fed you back then."

John was taken aback, but he still obediently followed.

To be honest, after Chen Zhou agreed.

Of the two wishes in his heart, he was only certain that he would fulfill the wish to see his master.

Ten years ago, that child didn't actually have high expectations.

Chen Ming was sleeping soundly in his bedroom.

Because he had drunk too much last night, the Chen family wanted him to rest properly and didn't disturb him.

At that moment, Chen Zhou and John stood by Chen Ming's bedside.

Chen Zhou pointed at Chen Ming: "He's the kid from ten years ago, and the one you thought I was going to kill last night."

John: ?

His focus was no longer on whether Chen Ming was the one who gave him the food; his focus was now: "If you weren't going to kill him, why didn't you talk about it?"

If Chen Zhou had told him, how could he have killed Chen Zhou, and how could he have died?

Therefore, he is currently very emotional.

Chen Zhou chuckled: "Let's not even talk about whether you'd believe me or not. I'll just ask you one question: the moment you spotted me, you blasted me with bullets. Did you even give me a chance to speak?"
