"I can’t believe I only thought of this now."

Wen Zhixing slapped his thigh in frustration.

SLAP!

SLAP!

SLAP!

He’d slapped it until it was sore!

If this works, I have wasted quite a few Fortune Fragments. But it’s not too late now.

Wen Zhixing suppressed his emotions. I’ll have to wait until tonight.

The appearance of the Life Defying Blood Body was too conspicuous. A creature that looked like a ghost really couldn’t go outside. And the scent of blood was too strong; even if it shrunk, it would be easily detected. It would be safest to go out when it was dead of night and all was still.

Wen Zhixing immediately dismissed the thought of going out and continued to quietly cultivate inside the house.

The day flew by in a flash.

「Night fell.」

As the noise from all around the Wonderous Palace began to rise, a blood shadow the size of a mosquito darted out from Wen Zhixing’s house. The Life Defying Blood Body couldn’t fly, but its two small legs were incredibly fast. It vanished in a flash.

Wen Zhixing stood on the threshold, his heart still somewhat worried. How should I put it? It was like the feeling of one’s foolish son leaving home for the first time. If the Life Defying Blood Body were dissipated by someone, it would really be gone. This Divine Ability would disappear, never to be formed again.

Although the Life Defying Blood Body had low intelligence, it was obedient. Before it left, Wen Zhixing told it to be careful. Don’t approach people. If you hear something, hide; if you can’t hide, then run. It had always followed this principle.

About half an hour later, its short little legs carried the blood body to the front of a pavilion.

Inside, the lamplight flickered. The sounds of two people intertwined, echoing in waves.

The Life Defying Blood Body looked around for a while, and after making sure there was no danger, it dashed inside. It climbed the wall and peeked through the window at the two people fighting inside.

Life Defying Blood Body: ?

It was a bit puzzled. Are they fighting? The man seems to be losing, how pitiful.

[Fortune Fragment discovered. Would you like to spend one month of life-span to randomly collect it?]

A prompt box appeared before Wen Zhixing.

"It really works!" Wen Zhixing was delighted and immediately chose to collect it.

A Gray Fortune Fragment quickly flew out from the house where the fierce battle was raging, heading towards Wen Zhixing.

[Gray Fortune Fragment +1.]

[Gray Fortune Fragment (1/1) has been collected. No synthesis required. You can obtain one of the following fortunes:]

[1. Gain Talent: Exquisite Cooking Skills.]

[2. Gain 1 Fortune Point.]

[3. Obtain the fortune of Peng Huihua.]

The rewards from Gray Fortune Fragments were very unstable; sometimes good, sometimes bad. This one, for example, was quite average.

"Choose two." Wen Zhixing calmly selected one Fortune Point.

[Fortune Point +1.]

I’m used to it. Having opened so many Gray Fortune Fragments, he wasn’t surprised by any reward anymore.

Shortly after, Wen Zhixing drew twice more. The result was still two Gray Fortune Fragments, and the rewards inside were also remarkably crappy.

[Fortune Point +1.]

[Fortune Point +1.]

[Current Fortune Points: 4.]

One Fortune Point could be considered a baseline guarantee. Exchanging half a year of life-span for 3 Fortune Points, Wen Zhixing found it hard to say whether it was a loss or a gain.

"Come back." Although the gains were average, the mission was considered satisfactorily completed. Wen Zhixing directly summoned his blood body back.

No, this is the residence area of outer sect disciples, and most Fortune Fragments on outer sect disciples are Gray. The target selection was wrong. Next time, I need to find inner sect disciples at least. Wen Zhixing pondered for a moment.

To tell the truth, he was somewhat disdainful of three Fortune Points. All the talents and cultivation skills he possessed were already White Quality, and the next upgrade would require at least 100 Fortune Points. Three Fortune Points were truly a drop in the bucket.

I shouldn’t have made such mistakes. Wen Zhixing sighed and began to self-reflect.

I’m feeling somewhat irked. I’ll just curse Qiu Yinger to blow off some steam.

To lift his mood, Wen Zhixing decided to target Qiu Yinger once again. It’s been a few days since I last cursed Qiu Yinger. Her injuries should have mostly healed by now, so cursing her again shouldn’t be an issue.

Wen Zhixing acted on his thought immediately, without hesitation. "Unfounded Curse!"

Qiu Yinger, asleep in her bed, suddenly snapped her eyes open. Just now, her chest had experienced a sudden pang, a palpitation. Cold sweat formed on her forehead.

Qiu Yinger had a nightmare. She dreamt she was cursed once again.

These past few days had been somewhat miserable for her. Although her physical injuries had significantly healed, she spent each day in constant fear, terrified of when the curse might strike again. It was only today that she had finally relaxed a bit.

"Phew... thank goodness it was just a dream," Qiu Yinger sighed, "I’m really becoming paranoid."

The curse hasn’t come these past few days; it probably won’t be a problem anymore.

"Hmm..." Suddenly, a surge of blood welled up within her.

—PFFT!

Qiu Yinger spurted a mouthful of fresh blood.

"What?" Qiu Yinger’s face was filled with disbelief. Silently and unnoticed, that strange Power of the Curse had appeared again within her body.

AAAHHH!!!

Qiu Yinger was on the verge of breaking down.

It came! It came again! Why did it come again?!

She didn’t know whom she had offended. Why would someone torment her like this?

Qiu Yinger’s mind became unstable, her mental state seemingly fracturing. The Power of the Curse began to take root, even affecting her divine soul. Vaguely, heart demons started to grow within her.

Who is it?! Who in the world is it?!

Unable to suppress the tumultuous Spiritual Qi within her body, Qiu Yinger simply gave up. She felt as though she had become a plaything for others to torment. The person cursing her seemed to have no intention of killing her, just wanting to torture her.

Regrettably, no one answered her. Qiu Yinger never would have imagined that the instigator of all this was Wen Zhixing—the very furnace she thought she could manipulate at will!

[You used the Unfounded Curse on Qiu Yinger. She suffered minor injuries, while you suffered serious injuries.]

—PFFT.

Wen Zhixing spat out fresh blood, his breath weak. He casually wiped the corner of his mouth, his face expressionless, appearing quite indifferent.

I’m used to it. Just a serious injury. Indeed, I feel refreshed.

Wen Zhixing had not cursed for too long; a brief moment was enough. It could be considered his daily check-in.

Before long, Wen Zhixing washed up and began to rest. He still needed sleep to alleviate his fatigue.

Naturally, he would not have guessed that Qiu Yinger was on the verge of collapsing due to his sporadic curses.

It was like living your life perfectly fine, only to suddenly get stabbed a few times without knowing who did it or even being able to resist. The perpetrator could stab at will. You could cry to the heavens, but there would be no response; cry to the earth, but it would not heed. Every day, you would have to be on edge, worried about getting stabbed again. One could not withstand such an ordeal without strong mental fortitude.

「Three more days passed.」

[Fortune Points +1.]

[Fortune Points +1.]

[Current Fortune Points: 12.]

[Current life-span: 119.]

Wen Zhixing was becoming somewhat frustrated. No matter where I change locations, I keep getting Gray Fortune Fragments. That’s eleven draws in a row! At least a White Fortune Fragment would have been nice.

[White Fortune Fragment +1.]

[White Fortune Fragment (2/2) collected. You can consume one month of life-span to synthesize and will receive one of the following fortunes:]

[Option one: Acquire Spiritual Instrument: Sword Pill.]

[Option two: Gain five Fortune Points.]

[Option three: Gain the fortune of Yan Xiaotang.]
