Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 171: Chapter 149: Good Dog (2nd update, asking for monthly votes!)

Anyone who gets tricked by the heartless Daoist to the point of losing their lives is either a naive sweetie or holds a high moral baseline.

I want to see if you would turn a blind eye to death!

Indeed.

Upon hearing the words, the saintess turned back and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She seemed to be pondering something, her face flickering with conflict and thought, finally sighing.

”Wan’er, carry her on your back, onto the carriage, and return to the Holy Sect together.”

”Miss?!” The maid exclaimed in surprise, ”This, this isn’t proper, is it?”

”Just make sure no one finds out.”

Having made up her mind, the saintess spoke in a lighter tone, with a tinge of coquetry.

”...Alright then.”

Being carried on the back, there were some bumps, but... I successfully passed the hurdle.

Qi Xiaojin breathed a sigh of relief.

What follows is to slowly build my standing in the Black Withered Saint Sect.

...

Below the Big Snow Mountain, stretching across tens of kilometers to Little Stone Village.

”Monster! Get out of here! Monster!”

”Demon! It’s a demon!”

”Dad! Mom! I’m scared! I’m terrified!”

The children at the entrance of the village picked up stones and threw them at the monster covering its head.

With their cries, more villagers rushed over, armed with pitchforks and rakes, as if ready to fight for their lives.

The beaten monster, with half of its face a mutilated bloody mess, had maggots squirming in and out of its face.

Its right hand sported fiery red skin and sharp claws, bulky and terrifying as though it could tear a person in two with one swipe.

But at this moment, the monster simply hugged its head, whimpering in low sobs.

”I, I just wanted to ask for some food...”

”Don’t hit me, please don’t hit me, I’m not a demon! I’m not a demon!!”

The villagers attacked the monster, scaring it into fleeing away.

”Runs so fast! And it claims it’s not a demon!”

”Quickly inform the Foolish Underworld, send people to surround and hunt it down! How can we live in peace with such a demon nearby.”

The ensuing discussions continued.

The fleeing monster, with half a human face, continued to shed tears.

”I’m not a demon... I’m not a demon!!”

”It’s all sister’s fault!!”

”It was sister who turned me into this!!”

This monster was none other than Qi Xiaojin’s sister, Lian Xiaoya.

Turned into this state, she felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness and pain.

It seemed as if there was no place for her in this vast world.

She longed to go home.

”Lianyun Village...”

”I want to go back! I want to go back!!”

”Mom and Dad will surely understand me, they will surely recognize me!”

Her previously lost eyes now shone with determination.

She looked towards the village she had just left, waiting silently.

Waiting for the day to darken, night to fall, she sneaked in, devoured a feast, grabbed some dry food, and then traversed far from there.

This was Lian Xiaoya’s first ever theft in her life.

She had never thought that one day, she would be reduced to stealing others’ belongings for survival.

But in this state, she had lost the capacity to trade with ’people.’

”Limit it to stealing food...”

”Yes, just so!”

”I must not become any worse!”

”I cannot become like my sister!”

Hate burned in Lian Xiaoya’s eyes.

But she didn’t know that Lianyun Village, weakened by the loss of their elite hunting squad, was struggling to survive, seeking the protection of the Major Sects.

And the one extending a helping hand was... the Floral Fragrance Sect.

On the condition that Lianyun Village’s power structure be altered, that is, what’s commonly called, an assimilation.

”I, the Floral Fragrance Sect, offer tribute to the overlord of the Heiku Mountain Range, the Black WithereD Saint Sect!”

”By joining the Floral Fragrance Sect, your Lianyun Village will effectively part of the Black Withered Saint Sect, you should feel honored!”

Faced with the envoy, the Chief of Lianyun Village bowed his head in submission.

For the sake of the many lives in Lianyun Village, he had to compromise.

Overnight, Lianyun Village unexpectedly changed hands.

And all of this remained unknown to Lian Xiaoya, who was still on her journey.

...

While everyone else was busy cultivating their characters in the game.

In reality, the door to Ye Shangming’s rented apartment was once again kicked open.

”Pay up! Don’t you understand? Kid, pay up!”

The vicious-looking man, followed by seven or eight henchmen wielding steel rods, swaggered in.

Ye Shangming clenched his fists, his head bowed, not daring to speak.

”Eh? Say what? Can’t hear you! Louder!”

Ye Shangming shook with a mix of fear and anger.

”...Feng Brother, please, give me two more days!”

”Two more days of leniency?” The vicious man dragged out his words while slapping Ye Shangming’s face.

”I need to eat, you know. What am I supposed to eat if I give you two days?”

Slap!!

A forceful slap suddenly sent Ye Shangmin tumbling to the ground!

With a bang, he hit the bedside table, and a gaming helmet rolled off.

Ye Shangmin’s face changed color. Just as he reached out to grab it, Brother Feng had already stepped ahead.

”Oi, this thing isn’t bad.”

”Brother Feng, this is my...”

Bang!!

A kick landed on Ye Shangmin’s chest, causing him so much pain that he doubled over, coughing, and dared not move.

”I said this thing is good, didn’t say I’d take it away. What are you rushing for!”

Brother Feng said viciously.

”This device is important to you, right? Let me borrow it for a couple of days. When you have enough money, come to me to take it back.”

The others started laughing uproariously.

”Ha ha ha ha!”

”Brother Feng is so mean!”

”Kid, you’re still too green to play with Brother Feng!”

”This is just a warning. If you can’t come up with the money, don’t expect an easy life!”

”It doesn’t have to be this hard, young man. If you have no money, someone in your family must have some, right? Just make a phone call back home. If that doesn’t work, let them borrow from us. We’re very generous; we always lend money!”

Hearing this, Ye Shangmin, who had been holding back all along, suddenly looked up with fury in his eyes.

But a single glance from Brother Feng scared him into bowing his head again.

He just clenched his teeth and said.

”Brother Feng, that helmet is my livelihood. If you take it, I won’t be able to make money to pay you back!”

However, Brother Feng was already fiddling with the helmet and was walking out with his group.

”That’s your problem. Remember, bring money to redeem your stuff. If we don’t see you or your money in three days, we’ll be back.”

Bang!

The door closed, and the room returned to silence.

Only the disarrayed furnishings and the mess of broken furniture testified to what had just occurred.

Ye Shangmin clenched his fists.

Things had not developed at all as the parchment had stated!

Becoming a millionaire.

Having a more hopeful life.

All lies!!

He felt as if he had plunged into an abyss, and the main cause of all this was the parchment!!

With a snap, he stood up, yanked the parchment hidden under the pillow, and Ye Shangmin roared, ”Come out!!”

”What am I supposed to do now? Without the gaming helmet, tell me what to do!”

”If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’m going to tear you to shreds!”

Silence.

Pause.

Then, text slowly emerged.

[Without me, what else do you have to turn your luck around?]

A simple sentence struck Ye Shangmin like a thunderbolt.

He stared with wide eyes, his body trembling, gritting his teeth with rage, but, he could only bite the bullet.

”What do you want me to do? What should I do?”

[Do you... want power?]

Power?

Ye Shangmin was stunned.

”What do you mean?”

[Be a good dog for me, and I’ll give you everything you want.]

[Don’t resist, accept it!]

Something started to flow from the parchment into his body.

Power... Power surged through him!!

Boom!!

His arm burst open.

His right hand transformed into a blade of fresh blood!

The crystalline Blood Blade, as beautiful and dazzling as a gemstone.

”What, what is this?!”

Ye Shangmin stared in disbelief.

The parchment had already defied common sense.

But the visual shock was nothing compared to the current Blood Blade.

[This is the power I have bestowed upon you.]

[Use this power, seek revenge, and retrieve your gaming helmet!]

[You will become a multimillionaire, and also the real master of this city.]

[The premise is, be a good dog for me.]

Ye Shangmin fell silent, digesting, assimilating this information.

And then.

”Woof!”

It seemed that even the parchment had not expected Ye Shangmin to make such a sound.

After a pause, it suddenly burst out with text.

[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!]

[Good dog! Good dog!!]

[Kill! Use my power and have a good vent!]
