Free Web NovelChapter 607: Chapter 606: Merit
Xia Wenjin asked, "What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning!" Mo Qingfeng took a sip of wine, and instantly felt as if his heart and lungs were filled with its fragrance. Smacking his lips, he said, "If he can survive nine death trials, he will become extremely wealthy and prosperous beyond words!"
Xia Wenjin felt as though a small knife pierced her heart, leaving her in pain and with nowhere to find solace.
To be truly safe, one must survive nine death trials without dying!
This means, in his past life, he didn’t escape the nine death trials!
Will he be able to escape in this life?
He is the Imperial Grandson, and although she wouldn’t be with him, they shared over a year of friendship while traveling the Jianghu together. She didn’t want anything bad to happen to him. Just the mere thought of it made her heart ache inexplicably!
He’s not a cat with nine lives. How could he survive nine death trials and still live? Could it be that in this life he still can’t escape such a fate?
She personally picked up the wine pot, filled Mo Qingfeng’s cup, and asked, "Is there any way to solve this? You’re the true heir of the Stargazing Method, shouldn’t this be a small matter for you?"
Mo Qingfeng sensed the cautious inquiry in her attitude, feeling quite proud, replied, "I’m just the heir of the Stargazing Method, not an immortal! Such things that defy the will of heaven and alter fate, I cannot do!"
Seeing the light in Xia Wenjin’s eyes dim, Mo Qingfeng couldn’t bear it and said, "Actually, there are ways!"
"What are they?"
Mo Qingfeng replied, "One is the Blessing Nourishing Method, and the other is the Poison Attack Method!"
Originally thinking there was no way, Xia Wenjin was overjoyed to hear there were actually two options. She eagerly poured him more wine while smiling, "Tell me in detail!"
Mo Qingfeng pouted and complained, "Such a sycophant, no wine for no solution, and now pouring wine because there are solutions!"
"Stop wasting words, just tell me the key details!"
Mo Qingfeng cleared his throat and said, "The Blessing Nourishing Method is to find a woman with a yang life to marry him! This way, some of his death trials can be dissolved. Men have yang, women have yin, and it’s harder to find a yang life woman than a yin life woman!"
"How do you find a yang life woman?"
Mo Qingfeng said, "The yang life I’m talking about is not entirely in fate but mostly in appearance. Even those who don’t understand face reading will feel at ease and warm when encountering a yang life woman."
Seeing Xia Wenjin deep in thought, Mo Qingfeng added, "The Poison Attack Method is simpler, to marry someone with a similarly unfortunate fate. When something is full, it overflows; when it overflows, it depletes; when extreme, it reverses. Using poison to combat poison, using decline to break the killing tribulation can solve the predicament!"
At this point, Mo Qingfeng glanced at Xia Wenjin and said, "You aren’t exactly unfortunate, but your fate isn’t very good either! And you’re not a yang life, so you’re not suitable!"
Xia Wenjin: "..."
She suddenly found herself at a loss for words, realizing she wasn’t the right one.
Xia Wenjin awkwardly asked, "What kind of woman is an unfortunate woman?"
Mo Qingfeng laughed and said, "Isn’t it simple? She’s the one who stumbles while walking, chokes while drinking water, gets the wind knocked out by a strong gust, has no share in good things, and is the first in line for any bad luck."
Xia Wenjin: "..."
How unfortunate would someone be to survive like that? To be that unfortunate and still alive is a miracle.
Mo Qingfeng glanced at her again and said, "Enough about others, let’s talk about you. Your forehead is blackened, and there’s a cloud of dark energy between your brows. Your luck isn’t very good!"
Xia Wenjin thought, isn’t that true?
Ever since entering the Capital City, it felt like something was pressing down on her head. It was oppressive and suffocating, like a shackle imprisoning her within. She tried to break free, but the effort was not very successful, still often feeling helpless.
That moment when she was reborn, she promised herself that the heavens gave her another life so she could correct the mistakes of her past life.
She only wanted to stay away from the Imperial Family, live freely, forget all about her past life, and not let her father and brother be entangled in royal struggles because she met the wrong person, losing their lives in vain.
So she roamed the Jianghu, acting as she pleased. She thought as long as she didn’t marry Huangfu Yuxuan, this knot would be untied, but now, this knot still seemed like a net, enveloping her within.
Xia Wenjin asked, "Is there a solution?"
Mo Qingfeng grandly pointed to the wine cup in front of him.
Xia Wenjin looked at him acting so pretentious, feeling both amused and annoyed, yet still picked up the wine pot to fill his cup.
Mo Qingfeng drank his small cup of wine, pulled a chicken leg into his mouth, eating indulgently without any care for his oily hands or appearance.
Under her smiling gaze, Mo Qingfeng felt a bit embarrassed himself and said, "You don’t seem anxious!"
"Would being anxious solve it?"
"That’s true!" Mo Qingfeng chuckled, "Actually, you’re doing quite well now. You only have a little bit of dark energy surrounding you. When I saw you at Shian Temple, you weren’t like this. Your brows may have dark energy, and your forehead is blackened, but there’s a light in the center of your forehead protecting you. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the light of virtue, very solid, indicating significant virtue. By the way, since leaving Shian Temple, have you done something significant?"
"Does saving people count?" Xia Wenjin asked.
"Of course it counts, but saving one person shouldn’t produce such solid light of virtue!"
Xia Wenjin thought for a moment and said, "What if it’s not one person, but a hundred, a thousand, or two thousand?"
Mo Qingfeng’s expression changed, putting down the drumstick and wine cup, standing up and respectfully bowing to Xia Wenjin.
His actions left Xia Wenjin bewildered. She asked curiously, "Are you sick? You were just high and mighty asking for wine, and now you’re bowing so respectfully!"
Mo Qingfeng solemnly said, "Saving one life is a good deed! Saving a hundred lives is a great good! Saving a thousand lives is as if having the heart of a Bodhisattva! As the true heir of the Stargazing Method, upon meeting a great benefactor, I must pay my respects as a disciple!"
His actions made Xia Wenjin embarrassed, prompting her to say, "It was just a chance encounter, couldn’t ignore it and not save them! No need to take it to heart!"
Mo Qingfeng returned to his seat after his bow, "Chance or with ulterior motives, but it’s genuine virtue. With this virtue by your side, your matters are lighter!"
Xia Wenjin recalled something and quickly asked, "Can this virtue resolve the death trials?"
Mo Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "It depends on the magnitude of the virtue, but with your virtue, you can dissolve half of a nine-death trial."
Xia Wenjin was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Huang Zheng... He also has it, he was with me saving those people!"
Mo Qingfeng looked at her like she was an idiot, "What’s there to be happy about? Even if half is dissolved, there are still four or five times left. Do you think death trials are easy to avoid? They’re like swords hanging overhead, ready to fall and take your head at any moment."
