Chapter 322 143: A Human Again in the Third Life

The next evening.

Under the cover of darkness, Xu Lei left his home dressed all in black, his head and face concealed.

He made his way to where Miss Xiaowei was now staying.

After leaving Xu Lei's house, Miss Xiaowei had quickly taken up with an old scoundrel!

Xu Lei had a feeling this woman was more trouble than she was worth.

BANG.

In the dead of night, Xu Lei raised the gun and pulled the trigger.

He shot Miss Xiaowei in the head, killing her instantly.

Then, unhurriedly, he reloaded the Gunpowder.

He took another shot and finished off the old scoundrel, who was terrified and trying to flee in a panic.

That's right, Xu Lei had managed to build a gun.

It was only a simple one, though, on the level of a Homemade Shotgun from Earth.

A Homemade Shotgun like this wasn't too difficult to make.

The only inconvenience was that it had to be reloaded after every shot.

In his past life, during his idle years, Xu Lei had studied the schematics and structure of firearms at length.

He had even commissioned some blacksmiths to forge them before.

However, a gun on the level of a Homemade Shotgun was completely useless against Cultivators.

That's why Xu Lei had never used one.

But now, against mortals, it was very effective.

Over the past few years, Xu Lei had secretly found various blacksmiths to forge the different components.

Then he had successfully assembled them.

After firing the two cold-blooded shots, Xu Lei calmly walked away and vanished into the night.

He returned home and once again resumed the appearance of a four-year-old boy.

The next day, constables from the Government Office came to the house to ask questions and investigate.

However, Xu Lei's parents both had alibis.

Naturally, they couldn't be identified as the murderers.

The constables would never have imagined that the killer was a four-year-old boy like Xu Lei.

They left soon after.

"She actually died? Last night?"

Xu Lei's mother muttered in astonishment. "So suddenly?"

"What do you expect? She got involved with that old scoundrel, and he was bad news. The man had a mountain of enemies."

Xu Lei's father added, "A punk like that was never going to meet a good end.

She was probably just caught in the crossfire.

If she had just behaved herself, we could have let her earn a living in one of our businesses.

It's a shame her character was so rotten.

To think she actually tried to poison you.

You can only say she brought it on herself."

"Could it have been the Divine Nun?" his mother asked then.

"That's also a possibility."

Xu Lei's father said, "After all, the manner of death the constables described was certainly bizarre.

Such a powerful Hidden Weapon technique.

And the Hidden Weapon itself was strangely shaped.

It wasn't an arrowhead.

The constables had never seen anything like it."

Xu Lei was once again speechless.

'I've saved my parents several times, and every time this Divine Nun I've never even met gets all the credit.'

But Xu Lei wasn't saving his parents for their gratitude, so he decided to just let it go.

「Three years passed in the blink of an eye.」

Xu Lei was now seven years old.

One day, Xu Lei was in his room, focused on his Cultivation.

As he sat cross-legged, the Qi around his body suddenly began to circulate endlessly.

'I actually broke through.'

Xu Lei was pleasantly surprised. 'I've reached the Second Tier of Bodhisattva Pattern.'

'My Cultivation speed in this life is pretty good.'

'I didn't even need a Spirit Gathering Array. I'm relying purely on my own innate talent.'

'I managed to advance a Small Realm in just a few years.'

This speed was so much better than his Cultivation speed as an old man in his previous life.

But even at seven years old, Xu Lei still hadn't found a good excuse to leave home.

He needed to retrieve the Treasures and Magical Artifacts he had hidden in his past life.

Just as Xu Lei was wondering what kind of excuse he could invent, he opened his door and walked outside.

There, next to the flowerbeds outside his door, he saw a slender, unfamiliar figure.

It was a slim, young nun.

She was turning her head to look at Xu Lei.

Backlit by the sunset's glow, her fair skin and picturesque features seemed as if they were seen through a filter.

'To look this good with a shaved head... she's a true beauty.'

What's more, she looked a bit like the Wei Qingning from his first life.

'What's her relationship with Wei Qingning?'

'Could she be a descendant of Wei Qingning?'

'But even if she is, it doesn't really matter.'

'It's been so many generations. On Earth, you just can't marry within three generations.'

'So even if I performed Charitable Giving on her, it should be fine, right?!'

Of course, the thought made Xu Lei pause.

He silently told himself he was getting a little obsessed.

'Seeing a beautiful woman and immediately thinking about Charitable Giving... '

"Who are you?" Of course, Xu Lei didn't pause for long before speaking up.

"Amitabha Buddha. Greetings, little benefactor. You are the son of this household, are you not?"

The young nun then said directly to Xu Lei, "Become my disciple. How about it?

No, you are now!

Your parents can't possibly refuse me!

From now on, I am your master!

You will follow me and enter the nunnery to become a nun!"

Xu Lei froze.

But he quickly understood. The young nun must have been passing by just as he was cultivating, and she must have sensed some of his energy.

That's why she thought he was a Spirit Body born with a natural Dao Seed.

And that's why she wanted to take him as her disciple.

'But what the hell is she talking about?'

'I'm a guy!'

'How can I enter a nunnery and become a nun?'

'A man, living in a nunnery?'

'How improper would that be?'

"Don't worry, I have a Magical Artifact that can conceal your features and disguise you as a woman!"

The young nun before him quickly added, "So there's no problem at all!"
