Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Preaching and Learning
"Want to play?" Feng Xue picked up the two toppled figures, fiddled with them a bit, and the three figures began fighting each other again. The kid nodded vigorously with a face that said, "I don’t want to play, I just think you look a bit lonely."
"Yeah, what’s the fun in playing by yourself?"
"How can you call that not fun! I’m having a blast!" Feng Xue lightly tapped her finger, and the three little figures immediately stood apart, lined up. With another tap, they began fighting again.
The kid, itching with curiosity, immediately reached out and grabbed one. However, the moment his hand touched the figure, it went limp, the arms and legs all dangling lifelessly.
"Ah, you squished it to death!"
"This, how could I have squished it! I definitely didn’t use any strength!" The kid panicked, not because he feared he’d killed a living thing, but merely because he’d accidentally ruined a toy and now couldn’t play with it.
"These figures need to be fed with spirituality, and your rash grabbing scared the Wood Spirit to death," Feng Xue seriously blathered, and the kid was like:
"So what do we do?"
"No way around it, dead is dead." Feng Xue shrugged, picked up a chisel, and started selecting materials from a coffin board.
The kid immediately regretted it and glanced at the remaining two figures, wanting to grab them but not daring to stretch out his hand. Feng Xue saw this but had no reaction; she just took out a file and started shaping a piece herself.
Watching Feng Xue’s skilled movements, the kid couldn’t help feeling an itch, for the first time in his life, using his cleverness for something other than playing hooky.
It must be said that the kid’s brain was pretty sharp. In just a few minutes, he had a brain wave and said to Feng Xue:
"You controlling the figures to fight, winning or losing as you please, what’s the fun in that? Teach me how to control them, we each control one and fight each other. Wouldn’t that be more fun to see who can win?"
"Who said it wasn’t fun?!" Feng Xue shook her head, pointed a finger, and the two grappling figures suddenly shook then combined into one slightly larger figure.
It must be said, no man can resist toys that can move, transform, and even fuse—age doesn’t matter. Seeing the gleam nearly exploding from the kid’s eyes, Feng Xue suddenly assembled some wooden parts in her hand and tossed them towards the fused figure.
The figure caught the parts and stuck them on itself, turning them into a pair of wings and flew up fluttering, landing lightly on Feng Xue’s hand.
Seeing this, the kid’s face darkened, and he said dissatisfied:
"Why can you catch it?"
"It’s a whole science, like fighting. It’s easy to kill someone, but winning without killing is the hard part!"
Feng Xue shrugged, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The kid looked at the "dead" figure in his hand and then at the lively jumping figure in Feng Xue’s, feelings mixed.
But Feng Xue didn’t give him time to think. She casually placed the figure on her shoulder, then stuffed the coffin board into a guitar case much smaller than the board itself and walked away.
Seeing this, the kid immediately became anxious and followed two steps asking:
"Where are you going?"
"If I can’t wait for someone, then I’ll find someone else to play with!"
Feng Xue, holding her carpentry tools, looked matter-of-fact, and the kid grew even more dissatisfied:
"Why won’t you play with me?"
"Because you don’t know your own strength, you squished someone to death!"
Feng Xue logically replied, which left the kid silent for a moment. However, he immediately retorted logically:
"My master said I am the predestined official who will assist the Zhou by overthrowing the Shang. What’s so bad about killing a wooden figure? I still have one thousand seven hundred karmic lives to take!"
"Then your master must be an idiot." Feng Xue didn’t even turn around, but her tone carried a trace of anger. The kid, coveting his figure and dissatisfied with her tone, chased after her a few more steps:
"Why do you get to insult my master? If you don’t take it back, I’ll hit you!"
"Because your master deserves it! Telling a kid about killing, is that something a person should do? Do you even know what killing means?"
Feng Xue spoke with considerable displeasure, but the kid was stubborn, immediately puffing out his chest as he responded:
"No, isn’t it just killing someone, what’s..."
"Slap!"
The child, staring incredulously at Feng Xue, seemed to be contemplating whether the slap he had just received was an illusion.
After being stunned for three or four seconds, the child finally reacted, pulled off the golden bracelet from his left wrist, and said with a face full of fury,
"You dare to hit me? Even my dad has never hit me!"
"Why is it wrong for me to hit you?"
As Feng Xue spoke, she took the initiative. Although the child had divine power and held a remarkable weapon, Feng Xue’s superior ability was a setup beyond comparison. Before the child could react, the golden bracelet and red silk were plundered by the power of "Plunder."
"You!"
"What do you mean by ’you’?" Feng Xue grabbed the child, stepped on the Shengxuan Dingguan Step, and moved in a dizzying manner.
This child’s physique was indeed good; even the martial arts experts from the real world would have been dizzy being tossed around like that, but this little brat was just screaming and shouting. If Feng Xue hadn’t used her Inner Strength to block the sound, probably the whole Chentang Pass could hear him crying about being kidnapped.
"Shut up!" Feng Xue pressed the child’s mute acupoint, then pointed at the common folks below,
"Are you blind?"
"Wuwu!" The child tried to speak, but under the power of Supreme Martial Arts’ acupoint technique, he could only utter moans.
Feng Xue had no sympathy, only pointing at the crowd below,
"These are all living people, you can just casually order them killed? By what right?"
"Wuwu!"
The child continued to struggle, and Feng Xue released his acupoints. As soon as the child could speak, he immediately retorted aggressively,
"I am overthrowing tyrants to aid Zhou..."
"Slap!"
"You hit me again!"
"I should hit you, you deserve it!"
Feng Xue rolled her eyes, unable to comprehend the education of Taiyi Real Person—
"Do you even know what Zhou is, or who the tyrant Zhou is? Why do you have the right to overthrow him? Why can you kill because you’re overthrowing him? What if I said I am the vanguard officer to destroy Zhou, could I then kill your parents too?"
"Why do you have the right to kill my parents?"
"Why do you have the right to kill others?"
"It’s not the same!"
"How is it not the same?"
"This..."
The child was at a loss for words, not because he suddenly became enlightened, but because Feng Xue’s power was taking effect.
Transmitting teachings had no use in combat, but for a child with no real life or values yet, it was incredibly powerful.
Perhaps the less stable one’s principles were, the more effective it was.
Taiyi Real Person might have intentionally only taught the child skills and not morals, possibly to allow Nezha to remain a spoiled brat, but this played right into Feng Xue’s hands—
"Hehe! This disciple, is mine now!"
