Volume 10 – Chapter 12: Vested Interests (Part 2)

Momo heard the sound of insects. He opened his eyes and felt the scorching brain in the lungs invading his brain. But compared to before, the pain seemed to have alleviated.

He subconsciously looked at his body and found that a bit of mushy stuff was applied to the fatal wound. Nevertheless, refreshing coolness was still faintly exuding.

Who saved me? Where’s Zhan’er?

Momo sat up in horror. But this action worsened the injury, giving him the urge to vomit blood. But then, he found Zhan’er was right next to him!

However, Momo gasped as he saw clothes on Zhan’er’s upper body were removed. A woman in white clothes was looking at the talisman at Zhan’er’s back!

Momo’s eyes narrowed subconsciously.

The woman said calmly at this time, “19 meridians of yours have sustained a fatal injury. If you don’t want them to snap again, it’s better not to use your qi now.”

“Have you saved us?” Momo couldn’t figure out the origin of this woman. Though, she looked very beautiful.

But he could also faintly feel unusualness from the strange spiritual qi emanating from the woman.

The woman glanced at Momo briefly that seemed to say: Why do you ask such a superficial question?

Momo was stunned. He clasped his fists in both hands, “Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it. But if you want to covet this talisman…”

With that, Momo couldn’t help but hesitate. If the woman was greedy, what could he do? He couldn’t even deal with an ordinary person now, let alone this mysterious woman.

“My dao is completely different from what this talisman represents. Why would I want it?” The woman shook her head, “I took a look out of curiosity.”

Momo was startled again. He then smiled bitterly. Although he didn’t believe what the woman said at the first moment, he was quite moved and said, “Yes. Our cultivation path is unique with our way and our sect from the beginning. This path has been decided very early on. Since we have made a decision, we should stick to it to the end. If we lose our own dao and our heart, our cultivation will be just mere jokes. Those who rob only have magical power, but they remain as empty shells. How can they ascend into an Immortal?”

The woman suddenly asked, “What are Immortals?”

Momo was taken aback, frowned. But he couldn’t tell what was in her mind. In the end, he could only shake his head resignedly and said with a wry smile, “To be honest, I don’t know what Immortals are. Is it longevity? Is it controlling the yin and yang and dominating the world? But that is only a manifestation of power. In my opinion, it can’t be completely regarded as Immortals.”

Momo sighed several times and looked at the woman in white. Then, he asked curiously, “So, what do you think is an Immortal?”

The woman in white did not answer or even look at Momo. Instead, she stood up and said calmly, “I have some medicine there. You can change it by yourself tomorrow. Don’t utilize your qi for three days. After three days, you can cultivate for a moderate amount to heal your internal injuries.”

“Are you leaving?” Momo got up with difficulty. This woman seems uninterested in this talisman!

It’s the emperor’s inheritance… maybe the secret of eternal life!

The woman in white did not respond, turned around, and left.

There was an impulse in Momo’s heart. He blurted out and asked, “Lady, what is your dao?”

“My dao is my way. Your dao is your way. Even if you know what my dao is, what can you do?” A delicate voice came.

Momo’s heart moved, and he seemed to understand something. He asked this woman what she thought Immortals would be, but she didn’t answer. It seemed to be the same reason.

Momo bowed with hands held in front. He said gratefully, “Thank you, lady, for the pointers. May I know your name?”

“Qin.”

The woman in white had disappeared at this time.

“Qin…” Momo lowered his head and said silently, then bowed deeply in the direction where the white-clothed woman disappeared. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Thank you, Miss Qin, for the rescue and guidance today. I will never forget it in this life and repay the favor!”

But he still didn’t know what Immortals were.

…

Caroline got up early the next day. She didn’t wake up Livia, who was asleep but went out alone. It was her first time going to the bank.

There were few banks here. Even if they were, they had many connections with local gangs behind them, so they could only be protected by them.

Caroline inserted the bank card into the machine, entered the password, and looked back and forth at the numbers displayed on the interface before leaving in silence.

She walked on the stairway somewhat at a loss.

On the way, she saw several of Boss Neymar’s men. One of them, Caroline even recognized, was one of the men who hunted her last night.

Their eyes met each other. Caroline’s legs shuddered, wanting to turn around and leave. However, what was unbelievable to her was that the man didn’t seem to know her at all. He just glanced at her strangely and led someone past her!

Caroline gritted her teeth. She sprinted. Following her memory back then, she found where she walked into the shop last night.

But to Caroline’s disappointment, when she came to this place again, all she saw was the ordinary grocery store.

The grandmother of the grocery store recognized her and said enthusiastically, “Caroline! I just bought some new condoms. Would you like to buy some?”

“No… I don’t need it for the time being.”

Caroline left again in despair.

…

After Caroline left dejectedly, there came a mysterious space distortion at the same spot where Caroline was. An old pine wooden door slowly opened at this time.

The club’s Boss Luo walked out leisurely while the maid took an umbrella behind him and followed.

It was raining heavily last night, but when the daytime came, the sun became venomous.

The maid said: Better to bring an umbrella, master.

In that case, why do you want me to wear shorts?
