Chapter 248 Hardening

Gao Shou, as a "five-star assassin," saw himself as a "soulless killing machine"!

This was how Gao Shou had always operated.

He was ruthless, a prolific killer, and regarded human lives as mere trifles!

But today, on this very day.

When Gao Shou prepared to assassinate Liu Xiuer for the third time.

He saw Liu Xiuer showing kindness to a group of orphans.

Liu Xiuer and Yin Lihua arrived at a dilapidated mountain god temple, where hundreds of orphans were gathered. They were poorly clothed and underfed, truly pitiable.

Liu Xiuer provided them with clean clothes and prepared warm meals.

After they had eaten and drunk, Liu Xiuer even lit a bonfire in the courtyard and sang and danced joyfully with the orphans.

The scene was incredibly touching and brought tears to the eyes!

Gao Shou's heart, which had been as hard as iron, seemed to be cleaved open by a divine sword, revealing its soft core.

Gao Shou was inexplicably "broken."

As a "five-star assassin," a "soulless killing machine," he actually wept with emotion, crying like a child weighing two hundred pounds!

Gao Shou exclaimed, "That run under the setting sun reminds me so much of my youth, my childhood... I will never be an assassin again. I want to protect this man, I want to follow him, my lord!"

Then, Gao Shou jumped out, knelt before Liu Xiuer, and shouted, "My lord!"

Liu Xiuer and Yin Lihua remained calm.

Yin Lihua said, "Liu Lang, is this the fifty-eighth person this month who has come to pledge allegiance to you?"

Liu Xiuer replied, "Hmm, this person is not bad. He has Golden Core cultivation, stronger than others. He's a master!"

They were already accustomed to people suddenly appearing and shouting "My lord."

On average, two to three people would jump out each day, bow immediately, and cry out, "My lord."

Liu Xiuer's "Child of Destiny" fate was outrageously powerful; he was an "exploit player."

While others might experience a "shudder of their mighty bodies, erupting with an aura of dominance, drawing followers,"

Liu Xiuer simply ate, slept, or took a walk, without any heroic posture, and all sorts of followers would appear like a river of carp, desperately throwing themselves out to "pledge allegiance."

"Exploit players" were truly unreasonable!

Yin Lihua asked, "Liu Lang, why do people always come to pledge allegiance to you?"

To this, Liu Xiuer chuckled and confidently declared.

"This must all be my Master's arrangement!"

Master worried that I would suffer alone outside, so he sent all sorts of experts to protect me!

Yes, it must be like this!

Yin Lihua couldn't help but praise.

"Senior is truly considerate of Liu Lang, with deep affection and loyalty!"

Liu Xiuer was deeply moved, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Master..."

...

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your first disciple "Liu Xiuer" has increased his favorability towards you by +999999, current favorability: Five Stars (Life and Death Confidant).]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Yin Lihua" has increased her favorability towards you by +999999, current favorability: Five Stars (Life and Death Confidant).]

...

In a certain cave.

A certain person suddenly received two system messages.

Uh...

The certain person was dumbfounded!

This sudden surge in favorability caught him off guard!

He hadn't done anything at all, so why did Liu Xiuer and Yin Lihua's favorability skyrocket?

Had they misunderstood something again?

Xiuer, you are very dangerous. If this continues, you'll become the fourth generation leader of the "Dehua Divine Cult"!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the "Child of Great Fortune" Yin Lihua's favorability towards you has reached Five Stars, meeting the condition for sharing the Great Fortune fate...]

A certain person

( ̄ェ ̄;).oγg

A cold sweat trickled down.

System, look, talking is one thing, joking is another, but don't mess around!

What is Yin Lihua's "Child of Great Fortune" fate?

"Empress of the World"!

This kind of Great Fortune fate, apart from becoming an "Empress," is basically useless!

The certain person absolutely did not want to be "Empress of the World"!

The thought of possibly becoming like Dongfang Bubai, the certain person hugged himself tightly.

No way!

I refuse!

[Ding! System friendly reminder: Given the host's gender and the conflict with the "Empress of the World" Great Fortune fate, the host has the following two options.]

[Option 1: Abandon the "Empress of the World" Great Fortune fate.]

[Option 2: Change gender.]

[Ding! System friendly suggestion: The "Empress of the World" Great Fortune fate is an extremely rare and precious fate. It would be too much of a pity to miss it. The host's most optimal choice is to change gender!]

Go to hell!

The certain person couldn't help but curse!

He worked hard to transmigrate, only to come to the immortal cultivation world to become "Empress of the World"?

If he agreed, other transmigrators wouldn't agree! This would be a disgrace to the "transmigrator party"!

The certain person decisively chose "Option 1."

Abandoning the "Empress of the World" Great Fortune fate.

At this moment, the certain person continued to check his "friend dynamic messages."

Then, he saw a string of messages more brainless than brainless power fantasies.

[Ding! Golden Core assassin "Gao Shou" prepared to assassinate your first disciple "Liu Xiuer," was splashed with foot-washing water, and vomited for half an hour. Assassination failed!]

[Ding! Golden Core assassin "Gao Shou" prepared to assassinate your first disciple "Liu Xiuer" again. He accidentally fell into the sewer and vomited for an hour. Assassination failed!]

[Ding! Golden Core assassin "Gao Shou" prepared to assassinate your first disciple "Liu Xiuer" yet again. Influenced by the "Child of Destiny" fate power... the run under the setting sun reminded him of his lost youth... "Gao Shou" was converted, gave up the assassination, and voluntarily recognized "Liu Xiuer" as his "lord!"]

This...

This, this, this...

The certain person was speechless!

What the heck was going on!

The "exploit player" was too overpowered!

Completely illogical, completely unreasonable, he just "hard-converted" him!

Invincible!

Truly invincible!

"Exploit player" Liu Xiuer, forever the GOAT!

The certain person felt a little tired.

He had been worried about Liu Xiuer's safety just now.

Completely unnecessary!

Liu Xiuer was the "Child of Destiny," the "exploit player" of this world, a "god-tier cheater"!

In front of him, there were no assassinations, only "a thousand-mile delivery of a subordinate."

The pitiful county magistrate of Cao County, Cao Man, sold his property and finally hired a "five-star assassin."

In the end, not only did he fail to kill Liu Xiuer, but he also added a "great general" to Liu Xiuer.

A Golden Core assassin!

The rebels' previously depleted combat power instantly soared!

They now had a team with a Golden Core cultivator holding the fort!

Uh...

So, Cao Man, the county magistrate of Cao County, what exactly were you doing?

Were you helping the imperial court eliminate a threat, or were you causing trouble for the imperial court?

Because of your "efforts," the rebel army became even stronger, didn't it!

The certain person shook his head, beginning to feel a little sympathetic towards that county magistrate.

At the same time, the certain person was contemplating a profound philosophical question.

The "Azure-Eyed Purple Golden Howl" had set off to find Liu Xiuer.

When they met, and the "Azure-Eyed Purple Golden Howl" warned Liu Xiuer about the assassin, how awkward would that delayed news be?

Well, very awkward, very awkward indeed!
