Waking up, eating. After eating, continue to sleep.
Lin Xiao's day passed in this way. In this period, Lin Xiao protested, because he didn't want to live like a pig. Pity he was being deprived by Lin Yue.
They said: Lin Xiao has just recovered from a serious illness, he should rest more.
When Lin Xiao opened his mouth to make a request, in the end his parents weren't able to refuse. The final request was, to go out tomorrow.
Lin Yue rubbed Lin Xiao's head, looking at Lin Xiao's originally chubby face. He felt extremely distressed, because he has thinned a little when he was sick. Regarding the child's request, he eventually replied.
What a relief. Lin Xiao once again reclined on his bed and entered in dreamland…
The second day.
After eating full a bowl of congee and some pastries, Lin Xiao rubbed his belly and sighed in his heart. When the slimming project will advance? Eating in this way, wouldn't he be like that for all his life…
Taking two Xuan stage Middle-rank imperial bodyguards, Lin Xiao went out to stroll around the streets.
One step walking and stopping. Lin Xiao stupidly and incessantly stared at the goods in the vendors' stalls on one side of the street. From time to time he would call an imperial bodyguard to fish out money and buy something, hoping that his villain cannon fodder character would break out here in this moment, and maybe get some good treasures.
This is how they passed the way. Lin Xiao accidentally turned his head to look at the center of the road. After a quick glance, he reflexively squatted down, pretending to wanting to buy something from the vendor's stall.
He caught sight of someone.
That person was someone he has liked in his former transmigration: Murong Xue.
The barely 13 years old Murong Xue, in the future her extremely beautiful face would still carry some pureness. She was wearing white clothes. All the surrounding pedestrians subconsciously looked at Murong Xue with a silly expression, some bumped at other people and didn't even realized it. Obviously, those were all common people and nothing more.
For the cultivators, handsome men and beautiful women couldn't be counted. Although Murong Xue would cause the downfall of a city, but people who could compare with her weren't a few, and there were even better.
For example… a certain wife of Ling Luo.
Lin Xiao had some complicated feelings towards Murong Xue. He really liked Murong Xue for all his lifetime. He really liked her that he looked at Murong Xue like she was his family's wife.
At that time he didn't anticipated that afterwards, a Ling Luo would have appeared…
He would never have anticipated that he would be killed by Ling Luo…
He would never have anticipated that originally, Murong Xue really loathed him…
He would never have anticipated that his Lin family would be destroyed because of him… He would never have anticipated that they were all characters of a novel…
So many unexpected things, causing Lin Xiao to not wanting to be seen by Murong Xue right now. After all he still hasn't slimmed down.
The current Lin Xiao already didn't like Murong Xue that much. His mentality was like — — being tossed by a person. He wanted to change himself, letting his perfection unfold before the eyes of the person who tossed him. Make that person regret, and once more come back to chase him.
"Do you want to buy or not?"
Lin Xiao was startled. He discovered that he took something from the stall, he was dumbfounded for a long time.
Murong Xue already walked far away, leaving behind a dazed mass.
When the vendor saw Lin Xiao squatting down to look at his things, he became a little excited. Lin Xiao was wearing fancy clothes, one glance and he knew he had money.
Sure that he could make a profit, the vendor happily looked at Lin Xiao taking an object. His eyes were shining, as if he has seen many coins appearing before his eyes.
He didn't expect that, this youngster wearing fancy clothes before his eyes, would stare at that thing for such a long time, and didn't even move.
The vendor thought, could it be that the thing in the hand of the youngster was a treasure?
Gazing at him, the vendor became dull.
That was just a mirror!
That's right, a mediocre mirror.
He was showing things he has picked in the Wild Valley, because even the expert couldn't discern if it was a treasure or not. Fifty percent of possibility that it was a treasure, it depended on a person's luck and eyesight. There were many people who would buy those things to test the luck. If someone has clearly noticed the condition of a certain object and was seen by the vendor, then he was overcharged.
Naturally, the vendor would put some common toys on the stall, not everyone in this world was a cultivator.
If it was a woman looking at the mirror and stared at it for a long time without moving, although it was strange, but it was acceptable.
However a youngster, staring at the mirror… for such a long time?
Could it be… that he was a disguised woman…?
The vendor glanced at Lin Xiao. Unsteady fat, squeezed facial features of which weren't recognizable. He looked behind Lin Xiao, an imperial bodyguard was standing like a pillar… he silently thought: 'Oh s**t, didn't you grow extremely ugly, your brain is abnormal.' but he swallowed this sentence.
As time went by, the vendor couldn't help but impatiently open his mouth.
That question woke Lin Xiao up, who was immersed in his own world. Looking at the impatient vendor, Lin Xiao apologized with a smile.
Waving his hand, he let that imperial bodyguard pull 500 silver coins out. He bought the mirror and turned away.
The vendor pressed the silver coin with his thumb and index, exerting all his strength. He happily smiled, looking at that too fat to move back, while thinking: 'That youngster is indeed abnormal.' yet his heart was hoping that this youngster with an abnormal brain, would tomorrow visit this stall again.
500 silver coins to buy a mirror, this was simply Heaven dropping a pie.
An imposing building was standing in front, with a horizontal inscribed board on the top: 'Spiritual Grass Pavilion'
Beside the 'Spiritual Grass Pavilion' sign, there was a clover symbol.
This was Lin family's industry.
Most of the Spiritual Grass on earth was bought by Spiritual Grass Pavilion . It was Nebula Nation's Refine Medicine Master's most favorite place. Just that the price wasn't cheap. It wasn't because the Refine Medicine Master had some money, or it was estimated that the most convenient Spiritual Grass of the Spiritual Grass Pavilion couldn't be bought. Not to mention the commoners.
"Let's go inside to take a look."
Lin Xiao's body was too different, even the elixirs in Lin family wouldn't work. The thirteen years old Lin Xiao was already at the Huan stage Middle-rank, however his foundation was too weak. This time he got sick again. How long he has been strolling and he just began to pant.
Noticing his property, he would obviously walk inside to take a rest and drink a cup of tea.
Just when he entered, he saw the Spiritual Grass Pavilion's shop assistant seeming to having a dispute with someone.
A simply dressed middle aged man and a youngster were facing the shop assistant. The youngster's face was delicate and pretty, with a fair skin. Right now he was sorrowfully looking at the shop assistant cursing. The middle aged man had a sad expression too, his eyes were carrying some despair.
Lin Xiao looked at this scene, lifeless.
Shit, how fortunate was he today. When strolling on the street, he first came across Murong Xue, and now he met… his mortal enemy, 《Heavenly Firmament Alteration》's protagonist, Ling Luo.
Just when Lin Xiao thought the situation wouldn't change, 'thump' Ling Luo knelt down. He slowly begged in a soft tone: "I beg you, please give me the Xuyu Grass. I will sign the debt for you, I will stay here and be Spiritual Grass Pavilion's servant. My mother's illness is hopeless, the Cinnabar Medicine requires this Xuyu Grass I beg you, my mother's life is in your hands."
'Bang bang bang' Ling Luo resolutely banged his head on the ground three times.
Ling Luo's father, Ling Tian looked at his own son keeling before other people, knocking the head. He thought that he should give himself some slaps, hating himself because he was incompetent.
Ling Tian also knelt down: "I beg you, please give us the Xuyu Grass. I'll give you this life, I beg you."
Towards Ling Luo and Ling Tian pleading, the shop assistant wasn't in the slightest moved. He spitted at them in contempt, and asked in a piercing way: "What do I do with your lowly life and a servant? Such an expensive grass, buying it for you is a waste. Quickly let that woman in your family die and let it be. Staying in this world is a waste of money."
'Bang'
"Ouch! My chin." the shop assistant fell down.
Ling Luo was clenching his fist, his eyes tenaciously staring at the wailing shop assistant.
"You… you should die!" the shop assistant swore in a loud voice. He massaged his own chin and withdrew a little bit.
Ling Luo's punch was extremely ferocious. Now his eyes were all red and he had a repulsive expression, causing the not that bold shop assistant to retreat again.
However…
The shop assistant thought… not right, father and son came from a broken place, they didn't have power neither money, what was he scared of? Recalling that the power behind his back was the Lin family, he suddenly became confident. He jumped up from the ground and ordered the Spiritual Grass Pavilion's imperial bodyguards to beat Ling Tian and Ling Luo, and then throw them out.
"Stop!"
Lin Xiao hastily shouted.
He remembered.
In 《Heavenly Firmament Alteration》 there was this kind of plot — — Ling Luo's mother was seriously ill. By chance Ling Luo's father, Ling Tian, met a Refine Medicine Master who could save his mother. But that Master had a folk prescription but not medicine ingredients.
The Ling family was willing to sacrifice everything and with great difficulty scraped together the other seven ingredients, only the Xuyu Grass was missing.
The Xuyu Grass was already being monopolized by Lin family in the Nebula Nation's marketplace. Having no alternative, Ling Luo and father were obliged to head to the capital city. But Xuyu Grass was extremely expensive, they weren't able to pay.
Xuyu Grass was a medicinal herb used to save a life.
Ling Luo has crossed here since he was a baby. His mother was gentle and soft towards him, he already considered his parents as the most important people in this world.
How could he not save his mother?
He knelt down to kowtow without the slightest hesitation, even his father knelt down.
His own deeply respected mother was insulted, Ling Luo couldn't bear it and punched the shop assistant . But they were the one who suffered a beating and were thrown outside.
Xuyu Grass was hopeless, his mother couldn't endure for few days and passed away.
Her body was hurt. The smart Ling Tian believed his wife was extremely pained, not much time passed before he also died.
Ling Tian hated the Spiritual Grass Pavilion, and hated the Lin family…
……
In his former transmigration, because Lin Xiao was trying to adapt to the circumstances, he didn't go out and missed those happenings.
It looks like that in his former transmigration, Ling Luo killed him because he wanted destroy the Lin family, not just because the reason was him?
Because of the past enmity, although Lin Xiao really wanted to beat Ling Luo, he hurriedly yelled 'Stop'. While the shop assistant was happy and Ling Luo's expression was desperate, he slowly walked over.
……
Don't blame him for walking so slowly.
First… he was fat, his body was weak, and previously he has walked a lot, so he already couldn't move that much. Even if he thought of walking faster, he couldn't.
Second…
He couldn't beat Ling Luo's face swollen, then still not trying to make Ling Luo more desperate?
In his past transmigration, this enemy snatched the woman he admired, killed him and destroyed the Lin family. He couldn't revenge, but he could make things a little bit difficult for Ling Luo, Lin Xiao's heart felt a little bit comforted as well.
