Chapter 26

With Gu Bai's advice, Qin Shitian did not touch the Jun Family for the time being.

However, Qin Shitian was not a kind person. He was the head of the Devil's Sect. The unscrupulous, ruthless, and bloodthirsty head of the Devil's Sect would not give up so easily.

After returning and waiting for the Purple Heart Lotus to mature, he took it and went into seclusion. When he came out of seclusion, Gu Bai could clearly feel the powerful strength in his body. It was an illusion that he was invincible.

No, it was not an illusion. After taking the mature Purple Heart Lotus, Qin Shitian broke through to the Celestial Realm. At this moment, he was invincible on this continent.

After that, Qin Shitian brought people to the Jun Family again. He did not kill Jun Yanhan and Mo Haige, but only destroyed Jun Yanhan's dantian and meridians. Furthermore, he destroyed the huge Jun Family. They would never be able to cultivate again, and could only be an ordinary person for the rest of their lives.

When the powerful ancestor of the Jun Family appeared, it was already too late. He could not defeat Qin Shitian by force, so he could only admit that he was unlucky. He even rejoiced that although the great devil who was feared and cursed by everyone on the continent destroyed the Jun Family, he did not kill all of the Jun Family's descendants.

Qin Shitian did not care about this, and turned to return to the Devil's Sect. As the head of the Devil's Sect, he always did things as he pleased. There was no need for anyone to rejoice or be moved.

This time, Mo Haige did not die. Although he was together with Jun Yanhan, without Qin Shitian as the bad guy and without the touching sacrifice of life and death, he was no longer the Zhusha Mole that Jun Yanhan always thought of.

Although Jun Yanhan took him in, he was not the only one by his side. Moreover, he was a man. He could not continue the Jun Family's descendants, and he did not have a strong background. He did not even have a proper status by Jun Yanhan's side. He was just a sex toy.

Moreover, Jun Yanhan had become a cripple because of him, and would never be able to ascend to the position of a supreme Venerable for the rest of his life. Therefore, Jun Yanhan had long developed resentment toward him, and his attitude toward him was extremely rude and cold.

Every time this happened, Mo Haige could not help but cry in his heart. He had sacrificed so much for Jun Yanhan. He had betrayed the Devil's Sect for him, betrayed his master for him, and gave up everything for him. But in the end, he was just one of the men and women by Jun Yanhan's side.

He was the only one who remembered the vow that Jun Yanhan had once made to him. Thinking back to the days when he was in the Devil's Sect and the days when the Qin Shitian had endlessly doted on him, he had wondered many times in his heart if it was worth it for Jun Yanhan …

As for Jun Yanhan, because he could no longer cultivate spiritual energy, he had become an ordinary person. No matter how smart he was, he would never be able to achieve what he had in the plot. He could only spend his life in mediocrity. For someone as ambitious as him, the rest of his life was destined to be gloomy for the rest of his life …

After returning to the Devil's Sect, Qin Shitian could have broken the shackles of this world and gone to the legendary world of the strong that everyone in the mainland yearned for.

However, he did not go. Instead, he continued to be the Sect Leader of the Devil's Sect. The difference was that there was a handsome young man by his side.

According to those who had seen the young man, although the young man's appearance and figure were ordinary, Qin Shitian was very infatuated with him. No matter where he went, he would take the young man with him and would not leave for even half a quarter of an hour. He was even more infatuated with the young man than Mo Haige in the past.

A hundred years later, the young man passed away first. The Sect Leader of the Devil's Sect, Qin Shitian, who had a lifespan of a thousand years, broke his own heart and went to the netherworld with the young man. Everyone in the mainland sighed and praised the Sect Leader of the Devil's Sect for being a cold-blooded and bloodthirsty person …

When Gu Bai returned to the dark space, the surrounding environment was still the same as before. There was no change at all. His soul's body was more solid than before.

However, when he returned to the starry sky this time, he was a little stunned. After all, he had lived for a hundred years in the real world. He needed time to react.

"How do you feel?"

The mysterious voice that he had not heard for a long time sounded again. Gu Bai came back to his senses.

This time, he wasn't facing an empty space. Instead, a tall man in black armor appeared in mid-air in front of him. The man's body was somewhat transparent. He should still be in the form of an illusion, just like the one he had seen when he was summoned during the mission.

Gu Bai hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully. "Master …"

"Well, the mission was completed well. Your soul seems to have solidified a lot …"

Although the mysterious man was praising him, the eyes revealed by the mask were still as cold as ice. No one dared to look directly at him, as if there was no human emotion in them.

"Thank you for your help this time, Master …" Gu Bai did not dare to continue looking at him. The cold aura of the other party was extremely terrifying.

"No need to thank me. Last time was your reward. This time, the mission is gone. Do you want to start the mission immediately or rest for a while?" the mysterious man said calmly.

"I still want to rest …" Gu Bai hesitated. "Master … can I ask you another question?"

"Ask away …"

"Master, you said that the people in those worlds have souls. Then, when they die, will they be reincarnated?"

"Souls will naturally be reincarnated."

"Then, when we do the mission, will it be possible for us to meet the people of the past again?" Gu Bai held his breath and asked.

"Yes, but the possibility is not high. There are too many worlds …"

The mysterious man stared at him coldly. Then, he continued, "You asked this question because you miss the people in those worlds?"

"…"

Gu Bai didn't say anything. He didn't know how to answer, because he didn't know either. However, when he left this time, he felt a little more reluctant than when the first mission ended. Although it was very faint, he could feel it, because it was an emotion he had never felt before.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you miss it. It's not like there are no such people among you. They miss the wealth, status, power, mountains, and beauties in the world … But I need to remind you that you are different from the people in those worlds. They will be reincarnated after they die. If you are addicted to it and die, you will truly die …"

The mysterious man looked at the expression on Gu Bai's face. His voice was emotionless.

"Gu Bai, do you know why I chose you in the first place?"

"Master, please enlighten me."

"Before you, this Monarch has chosen many people. Until now, they have served this Monarch. However, they have gone to different worlds and never returned … You have an advantage that none of them have. That is because you don't have a heart. You are a naturally emotionless person. You won't let your emotions affect your decisions. Although this Monarch doesn't mind my subordinates dying in those worlds because emotions are something that no one can avoid, Gu Bai, this Monarch feels that you will definitely be the one who has lived the longest …"

Gu Bai's expression froze. He did not say anything. He lowered his head to hide the ripples in his eyes. He could not help but reach out to touch his chest where there seemed to be no heartbeat.

"Thank you, Master. I understand. I want to start the mission immediately …"

After a while, he cupped his hands and said calmly.

*****

"Du Yunxi, let me tell you. If it were not for the fact that you are the piece of meat that I carried in my womb for ten months and it would be a pity to lose it, I would not care if you lived or died … We are going to the Fu Mansion tomorrow. Let me tell you this first. In the future, you better behave yourself and don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, I will kick you out first if you get into trouble …"

As soon as Gu Bai woke up, the first thing he felt before he opened his eyes was that someone was poking his head with a finger and a woman was fiercely admonishing him.

But before he could open his eyes to look at the person in front of him and his surroundings, an indescribable feeling of pain immediately appeared in his chest.

Then, a huge amount of information about the plot was automatically transmitted to his mind, making his head swell and ache.

The original surname of the Host was Du Yunxi. He was the son of a brothel prostitute.

His mother, Du Haitang, whose real name was Du Erya, was originally the second daughter of the Du family in a small village. Because the family was poor and could not afford to eat, she was sold to a brothel.

After arriving at the brothel, Du Erya did not resist, but she was beaten by the procuress and starved for a few days, so she became obedient.

Saying that she had no backbone was nothing compared to living and eating. Du Haitang had also lived a hard life since she was a child. From the bottom of her heart, she did not want to live the same life as before.

Anyway, at home, she was not liked by her parents. She worked hard all day and did not have enough to eat. But in the brothel, she had good food and drinks and new clothes to wear. Du Erya settled down and officially changed her name to Du Haitang.

Although Du Haitang was born in a farmer's family, she was beautiful and could be said to be charming. The brothel keeper also wanted to cultivate her into a leading girl. In order not to suffer and to live a good life, she also put in a lot of effort to study hard.

Finally, Du Haitang became the leading girl in the brothel. Her every move was charming and caused thousands of men to be jealous of her.

Then, it was very melodramatic that the young and beautiful leading girl met a poor scholar who went to the capital to take the imperial examination. That was her father. The two of them were in love and acted in a touching love story.

His mother took out all her savings to support his father. His father also promised that his mother would marry a beautiful woman after high school. She was envied by the girls in the brothel and became a much-told story.

But unfortunately, after his father became the top scorer, he turned around and married a rich and powerful young lady of equal social status. But his father still had a conscience and raised his mother as a concubine in the yard outside.

But no matter how perfect the behavior of a mistress was, it could not escape the detection of the wife who was observant and alert. Soon, with the help of the wife who was dignified and kind, his mother made a scene of catching the adulterer in bed.

His talented father did not doubt that his mother, who was pregnant for a few months, had an affair. He guessed that she had wanted to get rid of this confidante for a long time.

So naturally, his mother was kicked out of the brothel while the wife proudly clapped her hands and rubbed her palms together to deal with the next beautiful third concubine.

Because she had no money, no home, and no place to go, after Du Haitang gave birth to the original owner, she did not have any skills other than her face to make a living. She could only run back to the brothel and resume her old business.

Therefore, with such a tumultuous and complicated relationship, from the moment he was born, his mother hated his father and wanted to strangle him countless times.

But perhaps because of the remnants of her maternal nature, she gave up countless times and did not throw him away. Instead, she raised him.

Although his mother did not strangle him to death and throw him away, because of his father, she did not treat him well. Usually, if she was not beating him, she would scold him.

Although this kind of childhood was tragic, the original owner did not have any resentment.

His mother did not treat him well, but in the end, she gave him a life and raised him. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Occasionally, she would care for him and would make him a new set of clothes for his birthday. Moreover, she did not bring him to the brothel, but secretly raised him outside to prevent him from being brought to the brothel.

If the original owner lived his life like this, it would not be bad. He had a weak and timid personality and had never studied before. He did not have any ambitions.

But it was a pity that his mother was not someone who was willing to endure hardships. Before she was completely old, she seduced a rich merchant, Master Jia, and the other party married her as a concubine.

So, the original owner was very lucky to be taken away by his mother. Who knew that this trip, he was destined to have a tragic and unlucky life!
