PFC Chapter 182 The Second Key of Destiny
Chapter 182 The Second Key of Destiny
Ke Jiu never expected to see his unfilial daughter again in his lifetime. The anger he had been brewing was inexplicably extinguished when he saw her gaunt face.
He stared intently at her. "Didn't you say you were doing well? How did you end up looking like this?"
"What does it look like?"
Ke Ruotong stubbornly replied, "I'm doing great, eating lots of meat and fish."
As she said this, her eyes welled up with tears.
"Ha, eating so much meat and fish, how can he still be so skinny? I knew that man was no good."
"You're mistaken. I am now the Queen of Li Kingdom. Watch your words, or I will exterminate your entire family."
Yun Fuzhao: "..."
The way this father and daughter get along is quite interesting.
She didn't want to disturb their reminiscing, so she walked out with Gong Yuhe to give them some space.
“Two elders are still a bit too few,” Yun Fuzhao said with a smile. “Do you know any other seniors who are easier to sway?”
"There are two more you can handle."
"How to say?"
"The two of them are fervent enthusiasts of the dragon race. As long as you show them the Jade, they will come under your command without you even having to say a word."
Yun Fuzhao's eyes lit up. "Such a good thing?"
"For cultivators, the dragon race is like a religion."
Without hesitation, Yun Fuzhao immediately went to find the two seniors.
They were still very dismissive of the idea of settling in the Boundless Sword Sect.
"Young lady, you probably don't understand yet. The people here don't want to get involved in the affairs of the cultivation world, let alone become elders of any sect."
“That’s right, even if the Xuantian Sect came to beg us, it would be useless. We’ve already decided to retire here.”
The tall elder waved his hand, "You'd better leave quickly, I haven't fed my pigs yet."
"Don't refuse so quickly, seniors. I'll show you something good." Yun Fuzhao raised his wrist like a thief.
The two men exchanged a glance, their faces clearly showing what this girl was up to.
The next second, the jade pendant on her wrist transformed into its original form, its crimson eyes staring at them.
The two were stunned.
After a long while, they finally found their voices, "Wait, what is this...?"
Yun Fuzhao replied smugly, "The Dragon Clan."
The short elder rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "This does look like a dragon, but weren't they extinct long ago?"
The tall elder asked, "Girl, is this genuine?"
"Authenticity guaranteed, no deception of the young or old."
Yun Fuzhao tempted, "As long as you join our sect, you can interact closely with the dragon race. Don't hesitate, join us now!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the two elders agreed.
"We are in our prime, the perfect age to contribute to the cultivation world. How can we afford to live here in such a degenerate state!"
"That's right! If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old!"
Yun Fuzhao: "With this kind of awareness, the two seniors will succeed in whatever they do."
So Yun Fuzhao captured two more elders.
Adding the other two makes four.
almost.
On the way back with Ke Ruotong, she suddenly and mysteriously handed a small cloth bag to Yun Fuzhao.
"Consider this a thank you gift for helping me."
Ke Ruotong laughed, "Actually, I've never had the face to see my father, and I know I've misplaced my trust. But there's no going back in life, and I'll finish the path I chose, even if it's tough. I'm just an ordinary person, but my father is a cultivator, and a powerful one at that. I don't want him to give up his cultivation because he's worried about me..."
These words caught Yun Fuzhao completely off guard, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Immortal Master, please open it and take a look. This is a token of love that dog emperor gave me. I always felt that it was not simple."
Yun Fuzhao did as she was told. She opened the fabric, and inside lay a silver, crescent-shaped key.
Good guy.
Isn't this the key to destiny?
Yun Fuzhao examined it carefully. Yes, it was indeed the Key of Destiny. The pattern and craftsmanship were exactly the same as the one Ge Kui had given her.
No one is lucky.
Yun Fuzhao's twenty years of bad luck in his previous life have all turned into good fortune here.
"Thank you, Miss Ke," Yun Fuzhao handed her a small magic ball containing her spiritual fire. "If you are bullied in the palace, this can save your life."
Ke Ruotong was flattered and said, "You're too kind."
"Small things."
After saying goodbye to her, Yun Fuzhao led the four of them back to the Boundless Sword Sect.
After arranging accommodations for them and showing them around the Boundless Sword Sect, Yun Fuzhao finally had a moment to return to his own residence.
However, before she could even get comfortable on the tatami mat, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Yun Fuzhao, that's me."
Yun Fuzhao was too lazy to get up, so he manipulated the vines to open the door.
Que Chi walked in from outside.
Yun Fuzhao lay on her side, propping her head up as she looked at him. "When did you arrive?"
"Not long ago."
Que Chi glanced at her. "Can't you sit up?"
"No. I'm exhausted, let me lie down." Yun Fuzhao manipulated the metal plate to come to her side again, took a cherry and popped it into her mouth. "What did you mean by what you said about the ghost clan before?"
Que Chi averted his gaze, focusing only on her eyes. "As far as I know, the Ghost Realm raises love-related Gu. In fact, it's not just love-related Gu, they also raise poisonous Gu, snake Gu... The Ghost Realm will poison traitors with Gu and then watch them die from the poison."
So brutal.
In this way, Yun Fuzhao understood. The Ghost Realm had likely used the love potion on Xie Wan to undermine her power.
“I’m just curious,” Yun Fuzhao looked at him, “why exactly is the Ghost King targeting me? I haven’t done anything to offend him.”
They've arranged countless assassinations.
Que Chi: "Because you helped the person he hated most."
After a second or two, Yun Fuzhao realized that he was talking about him. "That Ghost Lord is truly wicked. Exploiting you is one thing, but he also wants to kill you."
He's even more like a villain than Yu Ze.
"Do you regret it?" Que Chi said, "If you hadn't saved me back then, none of this would have happened."
"What's with all this talk about regret? We're not even close to each other."
Que Chi stared at her in a daze.
There was nothing we could do; the powerful being had given us far too much.
Otherwise, Yun Fuzhao definitely wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
"you……"
Que Chi's Adam's apple bobbed, drawing out the black tattoo on his neck. He seemed to want to say something, his lips trembled, but ultimately he remained silent.
Born into slavery, Que Chi had become accustomed to bringing misfortune to others. In the Ghost Realm, his people considered him an ominous and evil being. He was a vile creature vying for the Ghost Lord's nourishment, a lowly and despicable vermin.
Everyone hated him, and to avoid being hurt, Que Chi wrapped himself in thorns so that no one could harm his insides.
However, he never expected that someone would be willing to risk becoming an enemy of the ghost realm to stand by his side.
She must have wanted something from him.
Que Chi thought, otherwise why would she do this? Clearly, making enemies of the Ghost Realm would bring her no benefit whatsoever.
