Xie Yue walked towards her house, but before she entered the door, she heard a gust of wind behind her head. She subconsciously dodged, but a foot kicked her hard on the waist, knocking her to the ground.
Another fat hand picked up her collar and slapped her cheek twice.
"Fuck!"
The system couldn't help but uttered foul language. When had it ever seen its host so angry?
"Beat him back! Beat him to death!"
Xie Yue's cheek turned to one side, showing little pain and more numbness.
The person who came was Geng Yuan, the son of the Xie family's Geng manager. He was fat and strong. When he was bored, he would bring others to bully Xie Yue for fun.
Geng Yuan smiled ferociously and said, "I heard that your cousin also wants to go to Qingyi Mountain?"
Xie Yue remained silent.
People who are deliberately looking for trouble will never stop bullying just because of whether they answer or not.
The people next to him shouted: "Geng Yuan, this is the second daughter of the Xie family! This is not a chance to become an immortal!"
They deliberately emphasized the words "second wife and second lady" very harshly, but everyone knew that this second lady was inferior to the lower-level servants. After all, the lower-level servants could fight back after being beaten, but Xie Yue couldn't even fight back.
Chen Guo, where Xie Yue was from, had always respected those who cultivated immortality. Geng Yuan was so jealous when he saw the disciples from Qingyi Mountain two days ago. Unexpectedly, he thought that these servants were of low status and did not even deserve a chance to test!
And Xie Yue, this bitch who is a hundred times more humble than him, can actually participate in it openly!
Geng Yuan was angry from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Xie Yue's silent expression, he became even more malicious. He threw her to the ground and kicked her several times.
The system was shocked: "What are you doing? Fight back!"
Xie Yue remained motionless.
At the right time, someone reminded: "Geng Yuan, there is still 'that', don't beat him to death, otherwise there will be no fun."
Geng Yuan suddenly remembered, grabbed Xie Yue's hair, and threw something in front of her: "Little bitch, I just took a talent test. How is your talent?"
Someone next to me said: "Look at how talented she is when she is so depressed. If she is really a genius, why would she come back like this?"
Xie Yue said softly: "I didn't test it."
"Pa", she received another slap on the face. Geng Yuan took it very smoothly and said: "My cousin is quite self-aware of himself. Since I haven't tested my talent, I will give you a chance to see your talent." .”
Geng Yuan used his feet to push the paper bag in front of Xie Yue, revealing the dark red powder inside. As the paper bag was opened, an indescribable aroma and heat were emitted.
"Fuck!" The system couldn't help shouting again: "This is Fuso wood blood!"
Geng Yuan winked: "Put your hand up."
The system shouted desperately: "You can't touch this!"
"The sun rises on the hibiscus. The hibiscus tree grows in the far east. It has been exposed to the sun for a long time. Its branches are ground into powder, which is called hibiscus blood. It is extremely strong and hot. A mortal like you who has not practiced cultivation will not touch it. It can burn through the flesh in one go.”
The system wondered again: "Fuso wood blood is so rare, how come it appears in the Xie family? I have never heard of it before."
Xie Yue does not move.
Geng Yuan urged impatiently: "Hurry up!"
Geng Yuan beat her before. This was a scene that they were used to seeing. Some people were not interested, so they went into Xie Yue's house and rummaged around, throwing things around. As a quilt fell not far away, a slight sound came from inside. Chirping, an injured bird crawled out with difficulty shaking its wings.
Xie Yue's pupils opened slightly.
Geng Yuan immediately stepped forward and grabbed the bird, which made a sharp and urgent cry.
Xie Yue could not take her eyes away from Xiaoniao.
Geng Yuan looked at her contemptuously, glanced at the wound on the bird, and tore it open casually: "How dare you raise a bird? A bitch like you is only qualified to raise such a tattered thing."
The birds chirped even louder.
Geng Yuan raised his chin: "Hurry up, put your hand up, and I will give this back to you."
fraud.
Xie Yue was silent for a moment: "Okay."
Xie Yue stretched out her fingertips, and the moment she touched them, an unexpected sharp pain spread throughout her body from her fingertips, as if being pricked by countless needles.
It is a subconscious instinct for people to withdraw their hands.
But this instinct of hers was not allowed.
Xie Yue shrank, and then put her finger up.
So the whole finger felt like pins and needles.
The pain was so painful that it was almost numb.
Geng Yuan and others next to him looked a little horrified.
They know how painful this thing is. When they come into contact with it, the pain goes through their brain and heart. If they wash this thing off later, they will have the urge to rub the skin off, which is simply unbearable.
Someone whispered: "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Xie Yue didn't show even a hint of pain. Is this the same Xie Yue who usually frowns, sobbing, and shrinks?
This reaction almost made them wonder if this thing had failed, or was not the same thing at all.
Some are eager to try and see if something is authentic.
But the next moment, someone exclaimed: "Look!"
Xie Yue's fingers were stained with cinnabar. The specific color could not be seen, but traces of decay could be vaguely distinguished.
The next moment, her nails fell to the ground.
It was directly corroded away.
Xie Yue stretched out her other intact hand, her voice trembling but calm: "Give it back to me."
Geng Yuan was frightened, and he held the bird tighter. Then the fear at this moment was replaced by more curiosity and excitement, and he said: "Put your whole hand in."
The system said: "You are a sword user! If you don't take out your right hand, it will become useless!"
Half of Xie Yue's hands were hot, which made her not noticeably aware of her nails falling off. However, the heat penetrated her skin and penetrated into the bones. Give her a knife, and she could Just chop off the hands.
Xie Yue put her palm in.
The system said: "!!!"
Apply for one-click query of the host's mental state.
Xie Yue looked at Geng Yuan. She was thin and thin, and her eyes looked particularly large and deep on her pale little face, almost with a perceptive flavor: "Give it back to me."
But infiltrators who are not threatening cannot be feared.
Geng Yuan dug his nails into the injured wing of the bird, and a little blood was scattered in his nails.
Her nails and flesh fell off in pieces.
The bird was no longer able to cry.
When Xie Yue picked her up, her wings had been broken by the wind and rain. She was wet all over, and she was so thin that her soft bones were clearly visible. There was only one heart, beating hot and warm in her palms.
She wants to live.
She also wants to live.
They all want to live.
Geng Yuan said, no.
His pair of small eyes were squeezed together by the surrounding fat and almost invisible. He threw something in front of Xie Yue and said, hold it tightly, and then read out the words on the paper. I said I wanted to see your talent, haven't you seen it yet?
Xie Yue's vision was blurred, and she couldn't see clearly what it was. The excessive heat seemed to have stewed her brain, and she could still feel a slight twitching pain in her hands. She was unable to think, and could only numbly He read: "A hundred spirits are gifted, all things are born from the earth, gods return to the eight wastelands, the soul is in the heart, with my body, my god and my soul as the medium..."
It was strange that even though she was in so much pain that she was unconscious, her consciousness seemed to be split in two, and she saw the bird falling from Geng Yuan's hand.
A tiny one.
The whole body is stiff.
Blood caked her feathers.
The wind blew from all directions and could only move the most delicate of her hairs.
Is this death?
Her childhood experience told Xie Yue that it was best not to resist. If they had humiliated her enough and were bored, they would naturally let her go, and she could save her life and linger on with all her injuries.
Her instinct was telling her to survive.
When she didn't even have the concept of "living", she was shrouded in the shadow of death. Her entire life and soul were telling her to live, no matter what she encountered or suffered, she had to live.
So much so that she never thought about the other side of "living".
So that's it.
It turns out this is death.
It doesn't seem scary.
Quietly.
Xie Yue calmly read out the last sentence: "There are three thousand avenues, and I can enter them all."
The moment her voice fell.
The air suddenly became boiling hot.
