Chapter 63: Luck Stolen

Chapter 63: Luck Stolen

[The Myriad Beasts Sect is a Nascent Soul sect. For Yuan Shenxing, with only a Qi Refining stage, to escape from such an enemy is a truly astonishing feat.]

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yuan Shenxing with admiration in their eyes. If it were them, they would never have been able to be so decisive in making an enemy of the Nascent Soul Sect.

This is like an old man hanging himself; he's tired of living.

If someone had told them a story like this before, they would have thought it was just bragging. Who would have thought it was actually true?

Yuan Shenxing felt the gazes of the crowd and smiled modestly. He had accomplished such a great feat back then with the fearlessness of a newborn calf.

However, as proud as he was, after many years of struggling in the cultivation world, he has come to understand more and more what powerful enemy he had provoked back then in his folly, and he occasionally worries that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will come after him.

Fortunately, so much time has passed that he is now far away from the Myriad Beasts Sect, like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, making it extremely unlikely that they will be able to find him.

Just when everyone thought it was over, Lou Yuqing's inner voice rang out again.

Yuan Shenxing is both unlucky and lucky in a way, because after every period of bad luck, he always ends up with a lucky outcome.

[Take Jin Du as an example. If an ordinary person is targeted by someone with such power and influence, they will usually be manipulated and exploited to the fullest extent, and then discarded without a second thought.]

However, Yuan Shenxing unexpectedly found a way out of the desperate situation, abducting the enemy's natal spirit beast, successfully surviving, and paving a smooth path for cultivation.

The potential of the Silver Moon Wolf is bound to be immensely beneficial to Beast Tamers, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yuan Shenxing's happy days are just around the corner.

Unfortunately, in Yuan Shenxing's life, there were two great obstacles: Jin Du and Cha Nu. He had just gotten rid of Jin Du when he ran into Cha Nu.

Everyone looked at Yuan Shenxing in surprise, and guesses arose in their hearts. "Charming woman" means beautiful woman. Could it be that Yuan Shenxing's love tribulation has arrived?

Yuan Shenxing saw through their thoughts and gave a wry smile. If only it were that simple. Cha Nu wasn't human at all... Of course, at first he thought she was human.

The Maiden is a special kind of being, neither human nor ghost, whose cultivation method involves absorbing the obsessions of others to increase her power.

Lou Yuqing provided an explanation.

A chill ran through everyone. What would happen if someone's obsession was drained? They didn't know if they would die, but it would definitely have bad consequences.

Ruan Qingzhu subconsciously looked at Yuan Shenxing, who smiled and gestured for her to just listen; the fact that he was standing there meant that nothing had happened.

Yuan Shenxing drifted along the river until he left the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect before going ashore to treat his injuries. Because of the long delay, he lost too much blood and fainted.

When he woke up again, he was lying in bed, with a beautiful young woman in front of him, holding a bowl of medicine to feed him.

Yuan Shenxing, unaware of the girl's identity, was deeply grateful to her for saving him, thinking that there were still good people in the cultivation world.

Everyone: "..."

No, you believe that just like that?

Yuan Shenxing: Well...

He thought to himself that he was so poor that only his robe was worth a few spirit stones, so the girl really wouldn't bother to rob or kill him.

Besides, if she wanted to do it, she would have done it already. Why wait until he woke up and still make him medicine? Based on this understanding, it's normal to regard her as a savior.

Moreover, he had used his divine sense to investigate the other party's situation. Although the other party was a cultivator, his cultivation level was only the first level of Qi Refining. How could he be so wary of the other party?

Ling Yunxiao glanced at Yuan Shenxing's expression and roughly knew what he was thinking. He sighed and shook his head. Apart from wealth and life, there was plenty of profit to be made.

The living can always play a greater role than the dead.

Several thoughts flashed through Ling Yunxiao's mind, but he quickly dismissed them. He was curious about how Yuan Shenxing knew the true face of the Charming Maiden under such circumstances, and how he escaped her pursuit.

He was certain that the woman's cultivation level was not low.

Yuan Shenxing finished the medicinal soup that the maiden handed him and persisted in drinking it for a month, hoping to recover quickly.

The medicine was very bitter, so bitter that Yuan Shenxing sometimes felt like vomiting, but with Cha Nu looking at him, he felt embarrassed to waste her good intentions in front of his savior.

Lou Yuqing glanced at Yuan Shenxing; this was a case of being so concerned with saving face that it led to suffering.

The boy was still too naive.

[This medicinal soup is no good; it contains drugs that suppress spiritual energy. You drink it all every day without leaving a drop, and your health hasn't improved at all; in fact, you're getting weaker every day.]

Yuan Shenxing: "..."

He admitted that he was sometimes hasty.

However, the woman isn't trying to harm you; she just wants to cultivate a relationship with you. Once you fall in love with her, she'll leave, leaving you with an obsession.

[Before this, the Charming Maiden had used the same method to deceive more than a dozen people, and it always worked. Her cultivation level was not as simple as it appeared on the surface; in fact, she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.]

Someone's willing to commit fully to a relationship with you; I wonder if you're touched?

Lou Yuqing looked at Yuan Shenxing meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yuan Shenxing, their teasing expressions quite obvious.

Yuan Shenxing silently lowered her head, refusing to look at them.

Suddenly, Lou Yuqing burst into laughter.

Hahaha, this is hilarious!

[The beautiful woman flirted with Yuan Shenxing, but this guy, instead of understanding, thought she had a mental lapse and asked her if she was alright, which made her so angry that she wanted to kill him.]

[Also, the girl pretended to fall and asked him to rub her ankle in a coquettish manner, but Yuan Shenxing said he didn't know anything about medicine and told her to rub it herself.]

Countless similar incidents have occurred.

A month has passed, and the two have managed not to develop a relationship beyond that of a patient and a doctor. Yuan Shenxing, this straight-laced guy, single-handedly cut off all ambiguity.

Everyone's pupils widened in surprise: 666!

I thought he would be completely absorbed in it, but it turns out he didn't get it at all.

Yuan Shenxing scratched the back of his head. At that time, he really didn't know that the beautiful woman was seducing him. He only thought that his savior was a little weak, either because he had injured his hand or his foot.

Because of Cha Nu's frequent injuries, Yuan Shenxing felt it wasn't right for her to just lie there and not do anything, so she got up to go and ask her what kind of work she could do.

Coincidentally, the maiden was cultivating in the secret chamber. Yuan Shenxing searched everywhere but couldn't find her. He mistakenly thought something had happened to her and rushed out to look for her.

[This escape meant leaving the woman's territory.]

Ling Yunxiao: "..."

Did he want to complicate things so that it would work?

No need for wits or courage, no need for careful planning?

Just as Ling Yunxiao was questioning his life, everyone also cast shocked glances at Yuan Shenxing. So this was the kind of luck Lou Yuqing was talking about.

When luck comes, there's no stopping it.

Lou Yuqing's inner voice continued to resonate.

The maiden had originally set up a magic array around the area, but this array needed to be reinforced periodically, otherwise it would become ineffective.

However, she had been trying to win over Yuan Shenxing for the past few days without success and was filled with resentment, so she forgot to reinforce the magic array.

[When Yuan Shenxing went out, it happened to be during the period of inactivity, and she was able to get outside smoothly without any hindrance.]

What a lucky star!

Seeing the envious looks from everyone, Yuan Shenxing proudly raised his head. That's right, he really does have such incredible luck, and everyone is welcome to try and get a piece of his action.

However, Lou Yuqing's next words brought him back to reality.

The devil is always one step ahead of the saint.

Although Yuan Shenxing was incredibly lucky, the beautiful woman had already tampered with his body.

After Yuan Shenxing escaped, the Maiden quickly awoke from her cultivation and, relying on the mark she had placed within her, tracked him down to his location.

The funny thing is, the girl thought Yuan Shenxing had seen through her true colors, so she didn't bother to hide anything and directly confronted him.

Poor Yuan Shenxing was completely bewildered, having no idea why the beautiful woman had suddenly changed her expression.

Later, he was tied up by the woman and, listening to her insults, belatedly realized that he had almost been devoured by his obsession.

[I suggest Fellow Daoist Yuan Shenxing download an anti-fraud center; fall for a scam every day, and each one will be different.]

Hearing Lou Yuqing's teasing tone, Yuan Shenxing awkwardly scratched his cheek. It wasn't that he wasn't vigilant enough, but that the enemy was too cunning.

He never imagined that there were beings like the Maiden of the Valley who fed on human obsessions.

Fortunately, this woman's obsession is focused on love, and fortunately, Yuan Shenxing has an exceptional ability to be insensitive. If the other party had used a different method to gain her obsession, I wonder if Yuan Shenxing could have withstood it.

This time, fate once again smiled upon Yuan Shenxing.

[Because Yuan Shenxing had been completely unresponsive for a month, the woman's career had suffered a severe blow. After capturing Yuan Shenxing, she didn't rush to kill him, but instead began to denounce his behavior.]

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Shenxing summoned the Silver Moon Wolf to ambush the Maiden. After a fierce battle, he killed her and seized all her treasures.

Ruan Qingzhu: I'm so jealous.

Although Senior Brother Yuan seemed unlucky, he ultimately benefited from it all.

At the same time, Yuan Shenxing breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally finished speaking. After that, he was no longer fooled. After what happened with Jin Du and the maiden, he never dared to trust people easily again.

As a rogue cultivator, he could only rely on earning spirit stones to support himself and Zhizhi. After all, Zhizhi was a precious spirit beast and it was inconvenient for her to appear in public, as it would easily attract covetousness.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. He has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but his cultivation resources are gradually falling behind. He is thinking of finding a sect with good benefits and a good reputation.

This search led them to the Wendao Sect.

Yuan Shenxing originally intended to participate in the Spirit Testing Conference, but his branch was stolen on the way. He was extremely anxious. In the end, he used his compass to find the spirit beast dealer, but was almost blown up by the Thunderfire Pearl.

Fortunately, Elder Shi Hua saved him and extended an olive branch to him.

That time, he strengthened his resolve to join the Wendao Sect and once again placed his trust in them.

Having stayed here for so many days, Yuan Shenxing thought that Wendao Sect had indeed not let him down.

The next moment.

Lou Yuqing's surprised voice came from behind.

[Yuan Shenxing's luck was stolen?!]
