Divine Brilliance

“You still aren’t letting go of me? I’m going to kill him today!”

“Don’t Sister Shuangshuang, he is not in the wrong. He came to the pond first and he also didn’t know we would come here and purposely peek…”

“He still deserves to die, let go of me!”

“I can’t! Mother said that reason is the biggest thing. Anything in the world, be it wood or grass, has fate. It isn’t easy for our race to survive, so we should understand others. The heavens cherish life, so we should too. We cannot causally bully and kill others…”

“I don’t care. Han Han, your brain has been spoiled by mother. Today I, Ye Feshuang, am going to kill this shameless guy and bury him here!”

Beside the black pond, the sword in that colored-dress girl’s hands was continuously spinning, trying her best to get out of her grasp. That purple dress girl tightly hugged her waist, her face filled with helplessness.

Zong Shou didn’t know what to say now. His body was weak as he laid on the surface of the lake. However, the Black Wave Sword, which was on the other side of the lake, was connected to his heart.

As long as that colored-dress girl had any bad intentions, with just a thought he could slay the two girls!

He heard that purple dressed teen suddenly have an idea, “Sister Shuangshuang, look carefully, he’s just a small kid! He hasn’t even grown hair, so why are you so angry? It’s just a kid that saw you, so you want to kill him, aren’t you afraid of people laughing at you? Oh, this kid is so cute…”

That colored-dress teen was startled, her eyes fixed as she looked, following which her face had an awkward expression. The killing intent stopping immediately as she placed down the sword in her hand.

When Zong Shou heard that he was furious. What haven’t even grown hair? Even in this life he was close to fourteen years old! The elephant down there was already starting to show its majesty and was just ready to be pulled out of its sheath…

These two girls really looked down on people too much…

A killing intent rose in his eyes. That Black Wave Sword seemed to coordinate with his intentions as it shuddered.

If he did, that was too despicable and cold, right?

No matter what, he had seen their bodies and in a blink of an eye he was going to viciously crush those flowers. That didn’t make sense and was too heartless…

Forget it, let them live…

Scoffing, Zong Shou was thinking about whether or not to push them down to show off his might. He swam towards the shore casually and slowly pulled on his jacket.

That Ye Feishuang’s face turned red. Zong Shou’s clothing was right there and the two of them didn’t notice, so it was indeed their own fault!

However, she wasn’t willing to admit her mistake. Her face sank and she scoffed coldly, “Why are you here? And still diving in the water, explain yourself!”

Zong Shou’s lips rose slightly; this colored-dress girl probably didn’t realize that she had just walked out from under the knife of the death god.

He was lazy to debate with her, casually putting in jade stones shining in his hand into his bag.

That purple dressed girl looked at it, her eyes instantly lighting up. “Jade Lake Stone? You come here to pick Jade Lake Stone and then sell it, right? I heard my mother say that this thing is worth a lot on the outside. Are you the person in charge of mining stones from the Water Fairy Lake? That’s not right, I didn’t see any boat, only some wooden raft-looking thing…”

Her willow brows moved, looking over with a pitiful expression, “You don’t even have a boat, your family must be really poor, right? How pitiful!”

Zong Shou was startled, and only felt really confused.

He knew about the miners, but they mostly lived on the north side of the lake, far away from the territory of the Chill Serpent. The Jade Lake Stones in his hands were indeed valuable, their grades really high and their price was similar to a Grade One beast crystal. However, he was going to gift them to Xue’er.

And also, where did this girl think that he was pitiful?

The clothes on his body were made of gold silk. The patterns on his shirt were all exquisitely embroidered. In the Donglin Cloud Continent, anyone with experience and knowledge would see that they were robes produced by Yuehai City’s Beautiful Pavillion and know that his identity was really important and rich. How was he linked to a stone miner?

Forget it, that girl was more or less a dummy that didn’t know anything. However, her sister was someone who knew things. Her expression looked really firm and intelligent, it seemed her learning wasn’t something her sister could compare to.

That Ye Feishuang judged him, following which her expression changed as she slid her sword into its sheath, “So that’s the case. Little Sister paid attention, I misunderstood him!”

She paused, a warning expression appearing on her pink face, “However, you better not forget about what happened today! If you tell anyone else, I’ll personally kill you!”

When she said that, killing intent was apparent in her eyes. She tugged onto the purple dress girl, turning around and leaving. Just as she was about to step into the bamboo forest, she hesitated slightly, throwing over a small bag, “For you to be able to meet the both of us today is your good fortune. Take these mind stones and you should be able to live without worries. My Mother said that stone miners are always pitiful people. Every time when they searched for Jade Lake Stones they had to dive down thousands of feet. Your body has no internal energy, mining is too dangerous, why not find other ways of surviving…”

Only when the two girls left his field of sight did he look at the bag in his hands, and was stunned.

Thirty Grade Two mind stones, ten Grade Three; this Ye Feishuang was really generous!

Moreover these mind stones, not to mention living without worry, splurging and splashing in luxury was a simple matter. That Ye Feishuang didn’t have much common sense… which was why she said those words?

So many mind stones given to such a weak kid, wasn’t she afraid people would have nefarious intentions and try to claim his life?

Slow down! Maybe this Ye Feishuang didn’t dare to be vicious in front of her sister, which was why she used such a method to use others to kill them. How vicious!

Thinking about how he had already grasped Ye Feishuang’s thoughts, Zong Shou scoffed coldly, throwing the bag to the side before sitting down beside the pond.

Taking a short moment to adjust his breathing, he recovered some of his true qi. Zong Shou jumped out from the shore of the lake and rode that wooden raft back the way he came from.

——

When he returned to the shore of the lake they were temporarily camping at, it was just past midnight. Chuxue was already totally anxious; she had even prepared the raft to search for him together with Hu Zhongyuan.

When she saw Zong Shou, Chuxue instantly burst into tears, like someone had died. Only when Zong Shou took out those shining Jade Lake Stones did she finally smile.

——

They didn’t speak during the night. The next morning, Zong Shou rode his wooden raft and rushed back to that small island.

As of yesterday he had already used the Meridian Spirit Pill; he needed to wait for a few days when his meridians were more relaxed and comfortable before he used it again. He directly started off with the Chaotic Cape Wind Fist technique to stir the water into a whirlpool.

It lasted for four hours, until his internal breathing method couldn’t endure. Zong Shou floated up to the surface once more.

It was already the afternoon and for him to completely restore his stamina and energy he needed at least two to four hours.

Zong Shou only felt his stomach growl, his stamina used up. He casually took out dry rations to chew. After a short while he felt really uninterested.

“The dry rations of this era are really disgusting! It’s okay to eat them once or twice, but if one does this for ten days, how can one survive? I am going to spend four or five months here…”

In his last life he had enjoyed food. One naturally wouldn’t complain about good food; to satisfy his tastes he even trained out cooking skills that could rival the top chefs.

With a sudden thought, since he had nothing to do, he controlled the Black Wave Sword to stab into the nearby giant lake. In just a short while he speared several live fish and dragged them over.

When they arrived in front of his face and he looked carefully, Zong Shou couldn’t help but be delighted. Each fish was tens of kilograms in weight, really fat and strong. Moreover, they were the snow carp that were close to extinction in the future.

“I really am in for a treat today! Such a huge snow carp; if this was the future, wouldn’t it be sold for a sky high price? This entire Water Fairy Lake was the hunting field of the Chill Serpent. Legend had it that sometimes it got hungry and needed to go out to hunt. Looking at the situation, it seems like it really has fallen asleep. Over ten years of not hunting, these fishes became strong and big, how good for me…”

He cleanly gutted all the fish and threw away the intestines. He also removed all the gills.

He then carefully cleaned out the fish before starting a fire. There was bamboo wood here, Zong Shou’s spiritual technique was the best at starting fires. In a short moment, fire blazed.

After piercing through a few fish and putting them on a rack on the fire, Zong Shou excitedly turned them over.

Just as a thread of barbecued fish smell spread through the air, a purple image flashed in front of his eyes. A purple dressed girl jumped in front of him, smiling. “So you are the one starting a fire here! Why haven’t you left? This fish is so fragrant…”

As she said that, her nose started to twitch, her eyes glistening as she looked at the fish on the fire. The only thing she didn’t do was to drool, and she looked at him with a pitiful expression.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile as he thought back about Chuxue. This girl was similar to Xue’er, they were both pure and dumb, and they loved to eat so much.

Thinking that he wouldn’t be able to finish it anyways, Zong Shou spread some spices and salt, taking one of the fishes which was barbecued and casually threw it over.

The purple shirt girl wasn’t afraid that it was hot, biting right into it as she took it. The expression in her eyes was burning as she praised, “This fish is so fresh! Xixi! Why did it melt just as it enters the mouth? This is the first time I ate such a barbecued fish. Oh yeah, my name is Ye Feihan, what is your name?”

Zong Shou’s eyes instantly moved. In a short while he regained his calm. Ye Feishuang, Ye Feihan, these two names connected together sounded really familiar… but he was unable to recall anything. He searched his memory for a long time, but he couldn’t find any clues.

He couldn’t help but mock himself with a smile, light flashing in his eyes as he introduced himself, “I am Zong Shou!”
