Chapter 001
Why do I say once? Because I...
My name is Cheng Hui. I used to be an ordinary college student. Before I even graduated, I was in a car accident because I bravely tried to help others.
Why do I say once? Because I traveled through time.
Generally speaking, the one who can travel through time is definitely the male protagonist. At the very least, even if he becomes cannon fodder, he can still make a comeback. But I never expected that when I traveled through time, I was stabbed by a beautiful girl as soon as I opened my eyes - followed by a second stab, and a third stab...
Cheng Hui: ...
I'm dead, but... I think I can still be saved... QAQ.
The above are Cheng Hui’s thoughts before his death.
However...it turned out that the dead cannot be resurrected, so Cheng Hui's body was abandoned in the ruins.
…
…
…
Emmmm...why can I still think?
Cheng Hui lay flat on the ground, puzzled.
A normal person, oh yes, he may not be normal now, after all, it is impossible for a normal person to perceive the world after death.
What's more, he not only died, but his heart was also dug out.
The one who dug out his heart was the beautiful girl who killed him.
At first he thought it was a murder of passion. After all, such a beautiful girl shouldn't be so cruel. He didn't have the original owner's memory after traveling through time. If he really did something wrong to the girl and was killed, he would be innocent but it would be his bad luck.
However, the next second, Cheng Hui was slapped in the face. The girl dug out his heart while scolding the people next to him: "Hurry up! You have delayed Master's Five Poisons Yin Refining Formation. The missing part will be made up with your own hearts!"
Cheng Hui: ...
Well, this girl is a vicious and cruel person.
Perhaps no one could have imagined that the dead would eavesdrop, so the group of villains who had committed the massacre had no qualms about exposing their conspiracy in front of his corpse.
It’s not quite appropriate to say that he was exposed, because Cheng Hui suspected that even if he was alive, these people would not care, because - this is a world where one can practice Taoism.
Doesn’t it sound very high-end?
But...
Cheng Hui uses facts to tell you that you think too simply.
Do you really think that traveling to the world of cultivation means you are the child of destiny? That's because you haven't experienced the despair of ordinary people in this world.
Those cities living near the righteous sects are fine. No matter how arrogant the people from the evil sect are, they generally won't go there to cause trouble - those who deliberately cause trouble don't count.
In other places, whether you can live to the end of your life depends entirely on luck.
For example, the family of Cheng Hui's original body could barely be considered a small family of cultivators. Although the strongest person in the family was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, in this remote place, a Foundation Establishment stage could already be considered one of the top masters in this small town.
Unfortunately, their family had the worst luck and was targeted by a demonic sect. They were completely wiped out just for refining something.
Cheng Hui listened, grumbling inwardly: How on earth did the male protagonists in novels manage to survive in such a brutal world? Surely, luck halos really existed? Otherwise, someone like him, who had just traveled through time and knew nothing, would be stabbed to death. How could there be such a fascinating subsequent development?
"Huh?"
Just when Cheng Hui was wondering why he hadn't disappeared yet, a blood mist suddenly covered the sky. The demon disciples around him who were digging out hearts suddenly fell down without a sound, which scared him.
But he soon realized what he had to be afraid of. He was already dead. No matter how these people died, he couldn't die a second time.
╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭
The blood mist quickly condensed into a ball, depicting a beautiful woman in a bright red robe. Cheng Hui stared at the beauty for a long time before coming to his senses.
Wow, what a beautiful girl!
Uh... forgive me for being so uneducated that I couldn't think of any words to describe him. I could only barely recall the description of the goddess in the poem "Shen Shen of Luo River" and felt that it was the most appropriate word to describe this person.
"Graceful as a startled swan, graceful as a flying dragon. Brilliant as the autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing as the spring pines. Like a light cloud covering the moon, drifting like snowflakes blown by a wind."
Unfortunately, such a beautiful girl looked a bit murderous. Judging from her expression, she seemed to want to skin and bone those dead people and kill them again... But when her eyes fell on her own corpse, she became sad and self-blaming, as if... she was the lover she could not save.
Cheng Hui: ...
Wait? Why would he have such a weird idea?
And... when did he learn to read minds? How could he see so much from a girl's eyes?
The girl looked at his body and seemed to want to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Cheng Hui felt his eyes go dark.
Ah... Am I completely dead?
No? I'm still thinking?
He felt that the darkness in front of him seemed to be just because he closed his eyes, so he tried hard to open his eyes... Emmm, is he alive again?
Giggling!
Cheng Hui looked expressionlessly at a chicken opposite him, a hen, which was looking at him curiously.
Cheng Hui wanted to cover his face with his hands, but his hands had turned into a pair of wings and he could not perform such a difficult movement.
He opened his mouth and said, "Gugu——"
Cheng Hui: ...falling into autism!
The tall rooster silently avoided the hen that was bothering him and hid in the corner, drawing circles on the ground with his sharp claws.
Ah... so melancholy.
Although it’s good to be alive, but...what the hell is turning into a rooster?
I'm... eh? Eh?
Before Cheng Hui could fully shut himself off, he felt himself sinking into a shadow. Then someone grabbed his wings. He then heard a hoarse voice say with a smile, "That's it."
"Okay!" another voice replied, "I was just saying this. This chicken has been looking a little listless these past couple of days, and I was worried it might be sick. Since Big Brother likes it, let's stew it tonight."
Cheng Hui:……!!!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ !
Before Cheng Hui could think of a way to escape this disaster, the man who caught him had already cut his throat.
Cheng Hui: ...
This time, Cheng Hui still did not lose consciousness immediately. His neck was painful, but not so painful that he could not tolerate it.
He watched himself being plucked and put into the pot, feeling the fragrance emanating from his body - to be honest, he was a little hungry.
Hmm... should I be thankful that at least he had his body intact?
Cheng Hui was completely unable to immediately understand what kind of state he was in. His body had been put on the table, but he was still conscious.
Just as the plate of chicken was about to fall into the mouths of those people, suddenly a strong wind blew and the whole house was overturned.
Cheng Dunji Hui stared in amazement at the figure of the beautiful woman who appeared in the sky again, and was extremely surprised.
Hi, beauty, is it such a coincidence?
When the beautiful woman saw the stewed chicken on the table, she was stunned and her face was full of grief and anger.
The surrounding villagers were confused, but they knew very well that this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared was completely irresistible to them, and they immediately knelt on the ground one by one.
Although they didn't know why the beauty made such an expression towards a stewed chicken, they wisely did not speak, for fear of saying something inappropriate and angering the beauty.
There is no such thing as human rights here. If someone is killed for offending a monk, no one will stand up for them.
Cheng Hui looked at the furious beauty, and for a moment, he felt that she was murderous and seemed to want to kill everyone around her.
Cheng Hui really wanted to persuade him, but there was no need. He was a chicken before, and it was normal for him to be eaten by people. After all, these people didn't know that there was a human soul inside the chicken's body.
But later, for some reason, the beauty seemed to restrain the urge to kill. She just took away the plate of chicken and threw a silver ingot to those people.
Cheng Hui was very curious. He wanted to know why this beauty did this. It seemed a bit narcissistic, but he really felt that this beauty was coming for him.
Unfortunately, he did not have such an opportunity. It seemed that after the beauty took away the plate of chicken, his vision went dark again.
When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Hui had become a Buddha, because this time, he had become a fox - not a spirit.
Dressing up as a fox is one thing, but what about dressing up as a fox caught in a trap?
Is God holding a grudge against him?
Cheng Hui lay lazily on the ground, letting the blood stain his hairy ankles red.
He had given up struggling. He had tried just now, but with his current strength, he couldn't pry open this seemingly simple trap. In other words, he was doomed to die again. After all... he didn't think that a hunter who could set traps in the woods would take his prey back home to keep as a pet.
Sure enough, the next second, a strong middle-aged man came up the path. When he saw the fox in the trap, he immediately showed an expression of surprise.
"What beautiful fur! If I sell you, I'll buy Arya some new clothes."
Cheng Hui:...Forget it, let it be whatever it is.
The hunter obviously had no intention of keeping him for the New Year, so he killed him directly and took him back to skin him.
Cheng Hui felt that he had reached a higher level now. Watching the hunter process his skin, he not only did not feel uncomfortable, but also learned a few moves with great interest.
Hmm...if he could come back to life, he'd be someone with the skills to process fur...
Before the hunter could finish processing the fur, the familiar red mist appeared again. It did not take the hunter's life, but only swept away the fox skin and the hairless body, and left behind a piece of silver.
No matter how scared the hunter was, Cheng Hui was heartbroken when he saw the beautiful woman in red crying while holding his own body.
Even though it's a bit unfair to say this, but...
How are you?
How old are you? (Why is it always you?)
At this point, Cheng Hui had to shamelessly believe that this beautiful woman in red was indeed coming for him.
But the question is why? He doesn't even know this person?
Putting aside other things, just based on this handsome face, it is impossible for him, if he is a normal man, not to be moved.
Unless he lost his memory.
Hahaha, how is this possible!
