Chapter 102 Chapter 102 9
After hearing his words, Ruoruo fell into deep thought.
Of course, she didn't think that her original body would be a person abandoned by heaven. It was not because of anything else, but because a person abandoned by heaven would never have the opportunity to go to the Space-Time Administration to issue a mission.
Posting a mission at the Spacetime Administration requires a certain amount of merit, regardless of whether it's accumulated from past lives or this one. My original self probably doesn't have much in this life, based on my memories. I'm already struggling to take care of myself, so how could I care about helping others? And judging by my unfortunate memories, even accidental merit isn't possible.
This must be due to accumulated merits in a previous life. But if one has merits in a previous life, then he cannot possibly be abandoned by Heaven. This is inherently contradictory. Even if one is stupid and unconscious, Heaven cannot do this.
As for the unborn adopted son? The original body had never done anything against the will of Heaven, and the other half... was even more impossible. Every time he came back, the father was different, and they were all mortals. Even if some of them were not good people, they would not be noticed by the Heaven.
Moreover, when she reviewed her original memories again, she suddenly realized that although she was born poor and sold to Chunxiang Pavilion and had a bad fate, she seemed to be surprisingly successful compared to other people with the same bad fate.
Born into poverty, her parents, nearly 30 and childless, desperately sought a child. Thus, she was born. Her life before the age of six wasn't particularly bad. Compared to her cousin Daya, who was bullied and oppressed by her grandparents, Erya could be considered a lucky family. Her parents treated her well, at least. Of course, this so-called lucky family was only in comparison with many other children.
When she was 6 years old, her mother became pregnant and her younger brother was born, and she became a little weed. But two days later, her father had an accident while out hunting and broke his leg. He needed money to treat his leg, so he sold her to Chunxiang Pavilion.
Chunxiang Pavilion wasn't a good place to be, but she was young at the time and didn't suffer much once there. Because of her good looks, she was cultivated by the madam as a pillar of the brothel. Of course, part of the reason might also be that there were so many girls in the brothel at the time, so many that her age and appearance didn't require her to wait on other girls, and it wasn't her turn to receive customers. Those two years were one of Chunxiang Pavilion's most prosperous and bustling periods.
She is indeed unfortunate, but when compared with most girls in the secular world, she does not seem to be that unfortunate. At least she is alive, and at least there is no vampire following her. In fact, most girls in the secular world are born unfortunate. This is the sadness of an era.
On the contrary, it was Lily... The original body would not have thought about it in this way. Looking back now, Ruo Ruo felt that many of Lily's behaviors in those years were a bit strange. She did not speculate that she was a person abandoned by heaven, but with those fragments of memory, when it comes to people abandoned by heaven, Ruo Ruo felt that she seemed to have touched a bottleneck, but she could not break through.
439 also started going to the Space-Time Administration to look up information again.
Ah, so this kind of world is thankless! But when 439 thinks about how its host never cares about it, he feels proud! After all, many Tongzi's hosts complete quests out of sheer obsession, treating points as precious as their lives. Unlike its host, though it may be a bit aesthetically pleasing, it never needs to worry about the host accumulating enough points to return to its original world and then finding a new host. Even if the host wants to retire one day, it can retire with them.
"Wouldn't it be possible that those abandoned by Heaven were not unlucky at first, but gradually became more unlucky?"
Ruoruo's question made Yu Hechen a little confused. He didn't know why she asked that, but he still told Ruoruo everything he knew.
"I've also read about this in ancient books. Those ancient books describe those who are forsaken by heaven as those who have suffered constant disasters since birth. They themselves suffer misfortune, and so do everyone related to them. However, the books state that those who suffer misfortune actually deserve it. Forsaken by heaven don't appear casually. If they do, it means someone has committed a grave sin. In my opinion, the Hele Sect is the most likely place in the world of cultivation to have a forsaken by heaven."
"Junior brother, please be careful with your words!" The Lei Zong disciple spoke hurriedly, almost covering Yu Hechen's mouth with his hands.
Yu Hechen curled his lips and stopped talking.
Look, he said!
Everyone is like this. They are not afraid of how powerful a person or sect is, but they are afraid that the other party is too bad and has no bottom line! When he mentioned Yuding Sect, the brothers did not react so strongly!
"Forget it, I won't say it anymore, lest it dirty your ears."
Although the others stopped Yu Hechen, they all agreed with what he said.
Ruo Ruo remembered the name. Hele Sect. In those fragments of memories, Hele Sect had become a highly sought-after sect after the protagonist had grown up. Now, it seemed so unpopular. Unfortunately, the original owner's memories of it were too few and too confusing.
Seeing that Ruoruo was so interested in these things, Qu Chengjing followed along and listened carefully. However, he was not from a big sect and did not interact with many people, so he did not understand these things. However, if he met the old man next time, maybe he could find out a thing or two and tell it to the little girl.
His original reluctance to become his disciple was now wavering. The main reason was that among the ingredients needed to refine the Soul-Shaping Pill, the old man had boasted to him about two of them, saying he was the only one in the entire continent who had them, and no matter how many people tried to snatch them from him, they couldn't. He also said that if he was willing to become his disciple, no matter whether he died or ascended to heaven, all the treasures would be his.
At that time, he was dismissive and scoffed at the old man's words. Now thinking about it, he felt that he was indeed a little naive back then.
However, the most urgent task now is the Fengling Grass that is about to be born.
Although Qu Chengjing felt it was dangerous to let Ruoruo go into the secret realm with him again, he was even more worried about letting Ruoruo wait for him outside alone. Besides, Ruoruo also said that she was not afraid and wanted to go and have a look, so he simply let her go.
Yu Hechen, on the other hand, was determined to go along, saying he knew a lot of medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, and that he knew a lot of things that would be very useful. But before Qu Chengjing and Ruo Ruo could express their opinions, he was forcibly dragged away by a group of fellow apprentices.
"Junior brother, have you forgotten? Your master said that if you don't obey, he will throw you into the abyss."
"Yes, yes, let's go back and practice quickly. Uncle Nan Shang is your master, and you are secretly happy. You want to be lazy every day? This won't do!"
No matter whether Junior Brother He Chen really wanted to be lazy or just wanted to stay by Miss Ruoruo's side, they would definitely not let him succeed.
He had the chance to talk to someone for so long, but he didn't even give his senior brothers a chance to show off. Now he wants to leave them alone with Miss Ruoruo? Don't even think about it! They have to drag, pull, or even carry him, they have to bring the junior brother back to Leizong!

Qu Chengjing and Ruoruo left the secret realm, took a stroll around, and then came back.
But it was obvious that Qu Chengjing made serious preparations this time. He bought a lot of clothes and food, and completely ignored the strange looks he sometimes received from the wandering cultivators.
Even when an ignorant cultivator took a fancy to Ruoruo's beauty and wanted to plunder her, Qu Chengjing pierced his heart with a sword and obtained a storage ring and a lot of savings that originally belonged to that person.
"Here you go." After Qu Chengjing got the storage ring, he wanted to give it to Ruoruo without saying a word, and also put the things he bought in it.
Ruo Ruo raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Is it for me?" Then she took the ring and looked at it.
Just from the appearance, you can tell that it is definitely a good thing. But it is completely black and has no patterns. After taking a look at it, Ruo Ruo lost interest.
"But I can't use it. After all, I don't even have spiritual roots, so how can I use this ring? What's more, if this cultivator has relatives or friends..."
Qu Chengjing frowned slightly, feeling annoyed at his own lack of consideration. "I will protect you."
But despite saying this, he still took back the ring.
He didn't realize that Ruoruo didn't like the ring because of its appearance, but he felt that it was a bit out of place to have such a black storage ring that had been used by someone else on Ruoruo's hand, which was whiter and more delicate than mutton-fat jade.
Ruoruo is more suitable for someone better. This thought emerged in Qu Chengjing's mind.
The destination they were going to was far away from the entrance. Ruoruo had walked such a long way in the morning, and now she had to walk such a long way again. She was obviously exhausted.
"Come up, I'll carry you over." Qu Chengjing said, then squatted down and motioned Ruoruo to lie down on him.
Ruoruo opened her red lips slightly, revealing a few of her pearly teeth, and looked a little surprised.
"...Brother Qu, aren't you in the Golden Core stage?" Even if she didn't understand the world of cultivation, she still found it unbelievable.
"Can't one fly with a sword in the Jindan stage?"
…
Qu Chengjing also fell silent.
"Sorry, my skills are special..."
However, after noticing a soft spot on her back, her earlobes immediately turned red.
"I... I will definitely find a suitable technique next time, and then I can take you to fly with a sword. I can learn those things very quickly, trust me."
Ruo Ruo didn't answer, but just chuckled on his back.
As a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, Qu Chengjing almost lost his balance and fell to his knees.
"Brother Qu, am I really that heavy? Otherwise, forget it. I can do it myself..."
Before he could finish, Qu Chengjing started running with her on his back. It was called running, but the speed only increased. Ruo Ruo was stable on his back, not feeling the bumps at all.
He stopped only when he reached a place not far from where Qu Chengjing found Ruoruo.
"The Phoenix Spirit Grass should actually be nearby, but where exactly it is? We need to wait carefully for it to mature. Before it matures, the scent it emits is evenly distributed throughout the secret realm."
Even the current scope took him a lot of time to determine.
The same is true for other people who come to hunt for treasure.
All we know is that the Fengling Grass appeared in this secret realm, but no one knows exactly where it is. It either depends on pure luck, or you have to use your own methods to find a way to determine its approximate location.
