1512 You“d Better Quickly Like Me If You Want to Live
The One Chosen by Heaven, filtered through the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, had always been regarded as an existence with a majestic status in the Heaven Continent.
After all, to be chosen by Heaven meant that the person had been elected by Heaven and thus had a sort of holy supremacy.
But few people knew that the One Chosen by Heaven could also control the Heaven Continent and open the door leading to the Divine Realm.
Over many long years, the small number of people who were privy to these secrets had become the people who wielded power in the major forces. By controlling the One Chosen by Heaven, they were able to rule the Heaven Continent and thus control the route leading to the Divine Realm.
Xuanyuan Wanrong had long known about this secret. However, she hadn’t been willing to cooperate with the Heaven Palace Sect. She also hadn’t wanted to harm other people by pulling them into the trap of becoming the One Chosen by Heaven. She had also realized that not picking another person to become the One Chosen by Heaven could delay the time before she would have to traverse the Relations.h.i.+p Tribulations.
But, unexpectedly, due to her ridiculously impulsive anger, she had once written Xu Que into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, turning him into her cultivation companion, and also another One Chosen by Heaven.
Now this impulsive move of hers had led to a huge blunder. The two of them had appeared in front of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi at the same time, and now they had been dragged into the world of memory. They were going to have to traverse the Relations.h.i.+p Tribulations right now.
The first round of the Relations.h.i.+p Tribulations was for each of the two people to take turns in each other’s worlds of memory in order to experience the moment when the other person had had their first stirrings of true feelings. Only by using their current true feelings to resist their true feelings of the past would they be able to declare victory and experience having traversed the Relations.h.i.+p Tribulations.
Xuanyuan Wanrong had at one time understood these things. She had learned everything from the records left by the previous generations of the Ones Chosen by Heaven.
The world she was currently in at this moment has been derived from Xu Que’s memories, and she was experiencing the first time that Xu Que personally had experienced the feelings of falling in love. What she had to do was to try and move Xu Que and make Xu Que transfer his true feelings onto her.
But what she was experiencing in Xu Que’s memories exceeded Xuanyuan Wanrong’s expectations. She discovered that she had arrived in a strange world with rarefied Qi. It didn’t even have cultivators. All the people were mortal. Everyone was dressed in an extremely strange manner, and they all had really bizarre hairstyles.
She was totally confused as she chased after the young man who looked like Xu Que. She’d already attracted countless pa.s.sersby’s strange glances. Many people took out small metal boxes and pointed them toward her, while they talked endlessly about her.
“Wow, amazing! I’ve just run into a beautiful girl in period costume.”
“Her bearing is also so good. I’m sure that there are no actresses in period costumes in the country who can surpa.s.s her. This girl will absolutely be hot.”
“Is there a crew that has come here to film a production?”
“Yeah, but there’s no place around here to shoot a period costume film.”
“Is it a time-travel show?”
“Ha, ha, ha, I guess it’s a campus time-travel drama. After all, Jinnan University is near here.”
Xuanyuan Wanrong overheard everything that these weird people were talking about.
She found it difficult to understand much of what they were talking about. What was a time-travel show, and what about a university campus? She had never heard these terms before.
“What kind of weird place did the little ruffian come from?” Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned, but she could not focus too much attention on this at the moment.
Seeing the young man she suspected to be Xu Que in front of her, bouncing along and acting completely vivacious as if he was happy about something, Xuanyuan Wanrong could only rush to keep up because she was afraid that she would lose him.
But soon Xuanyuan Wanrong was stopped by someone.
Xu Que pranced along happily and ran through the gates of Jinnan University, but, as Xuanyuan Wanrong attempted to follow him, a security guard rushed out from inside the security booth next to the gate and blocked her way.
“h.e.l.lo, please show me your student identification card.” The middle-aged security guard looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and was moved by her beauty, but still kept his cool, calm expression.
It was fortunate that Xuanyuan Wanrong had lost her cultivation and was without the excessive and extraordinary manners of a cultivator. Otherwise, these mortals would have been totally freaked out.
But even just on her appearance alone, she was eye-catching. The rate of people turning their heads to get a second look at her was 100 percent. Even great, beautiful screen actresses would have paled in comparison to Xuanyuan Wanrong if one counted how many looks they’d drawn this day.
Now that this middle-aged security guard had stopped her, it was partly because of her period costume, but it was also largely because of her outstanding appearance. He couldn’t help but want to strike up a conversation with her, as if he felt that he would get incomparably satisfied by talking to her.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was somewhat startled when she was stopped.
Student identification card? What is that?
She didn’t know what to do. Her first reaction was to barge into this place, but she was also well aware that she was completely without her cultivation at present and thus no different from the mortals. Perhaps she wouldn’t even be able to declare victory over this middle-aged man.
However, if she didn’t catch up, it was likely that it would be extremely difficult to find Xu Que again. It was inevitable that many unforeseen events were going to arise in this unfamiliar place where she didn’t know anyone and had no means of self-protection.
“Never mind!”
Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned and shook her head. Her eyes swept away toward the still-prancing Xu Que, and she shouted, “Xu Que…”
“What?”
The young man in front of her who had been prancing along immediately stopped, turned his head, looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong in confusion, and exclaimed in surprise, “Are you calling me?”
“Yes, I am, come over here.” Xuanyuan Wanrong nodded.
“No, I don’t have time.” The young man stared at her, and a wary look appeared on his face as he said, “Who are you? Why do you know my name? Are you secretly in love with me? Or are you trying to trick me?”
“…..” Xuanyuan Wanrong slightly narrowed her eyes.
“If it hadn’t been possible to determine whether this young man was Xu Que before, now she was thoroughly convinced that this guy was Xu Que.
Although his appearance seemed a little childish and his features were also not as refined as they had been in the world of cultivators, the same kind of shameless manners of a ruffian could be recognized in this man. He gave off a distinctive bad guy vibe.
“Come on over, and I’ll tell you everything.” Xuanyuan Wanrong controlled her temper and spoke in a low voice.
“Well, look at you, beautiful and bright, why do you seem a little abnormal when you speak? Are you shooting a film? Or are you filming a variety show? Where’s the camera?” Xu Que said and started to walk toward Xuanyuan Wanrong.
“Follow me, please.” When Xuanyuan Wanrong saw Xu Que walking over, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go.
However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and she immediately turned around. Xu Que hadn’t followed her but stood in the same place with an amused expression on his face.
“Why won’t you come talk to me?” Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned.
“Oh, do you think I’m stupid?” Xu Que snorted with scorn. “Boys must protect themselves outside, especially such an outstanding and handsome person like me. You think just because you’re beautiful, you can kidnap me and then sell me to a rich woman? It’s no use. I have long seen through tricks like yours. Hurry up and get out of here!”
Having finished his little diatribe, Xu Que turned around and was going to leave.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was instantly annoyed. This fool had been already like this before his cultivation. He was really shameless.
“Come here!” Xuanyuan Wanrong shouted in anger and quickly stepped forward to directly pull at Xu Que’s clothes to get him to follow her outside.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? What the f*ck, are you forcibly grabbing a young boy? Security, save me, f*ck, you’d better f*cking save me, ah! Why are you standing there staring at me? I really don’t know this woman!” Xu Que shouted in a panic.
However, the middle-aged security guard looked at him with contempt and jealousy and didn’t move at all.
“He’s complaining even though he’s getting the better end of the bargain?”
“I can f*cking tell with one look that this is obviously a quarrel between a couple. Son of a b*tch, it’s so annoying. How did this kid score such a good-looking girlfriend?”
After he watched the two people walk away, the middle-aged security guard shook his head and went back to the security guardhouse with a despondent look.
Meanwhile, Xu Que had already been pulled off the road to the school by Xuanyuan Wanrong. They went straight over to an empty s.p.a.ce at the side of the road.
When Xu Que had finally realized that there was no van or other people in the neighborhood, he let her pull him over there. If he had noticed anything fishy, he would’ve put up a fight and resisted her.
“All right, all right, tell me what is the matter. It seems like there’s no one else here.” Xu Que frowned at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Xuanyuan Wanrong also stopped and looked seriously at Xu Que. She thought a little before she continued in what she hoped was a life-or-death manner, “It’s a long story. Simply put, you’d better quickly like me if you want to live.”
