Chapter 37 Zi Yanrou's Past
Jun Tianyun chuckled when he leveled up his Runemaster profession.
Generally, It took him 30 minutes to craft a rank one talisman. However, Now, This will only take him 10 minutes to craft one.
" Alright, Let's see the previous messages." Jun Tianyun opened the system interference as the message panels flooded.
[ Ding! Chen Ye! got defeated by Villain Wang Ming! Chen Ye's Destiny point -20! Wang Ming's villain halo decreased tremendously!]
[ Host gets +20 Destiny points! Host gets +400 Destiny points!]
[ Ding! Chen Ye's Destiny points have fallen below 100 points! Chen Ye loses his Son of Heaven Halo!]
[ Host gets +50 Destiny points! The host gets 1000 Fortune points! Host's Eyes's of Fortune leveled up!]
[ Ding! Host must meet Chen Ye to take his Fate!]
[Don't Mind these system notifications. I just got lazy and didn't added them in last chapter]
Jun Tianyun raised his brows when he saw the messages.
" Hehe! I guess I should meet him for the last time." Jun Tianyun chuckled.
" Jun Tianyun, are you really a human?" Su Qingyao couldn't help but ask.
" Why do you ask? Of course, I am a human." Jun Tianyun chuckled.
" Why do I feel you are a thousand year old Demon King?"
Su Qingyao sighed. Looking at the devious methods of Jun Tianyun, Su Qingyao couldn't help but shiver a bit.
" Sister Qingyao, Do you still remember our bet?"
Jun Tianyun winked as he proudly waved his rank two talismans.
" Bah! Who said I don't? I don't renege on my promise."
Su Qingyao blushed lightly as she scowled. She wondered what kind of demand Jun Tianyun would ask from her.
" Well, I won't make you wait for long. Let me finish some business outside." Jun Tianyun smacked his lips as he came back to reality.
Jun Tianyun had spent one hour inside God's Space. However, only 12 minutes passed in reality.
Jun Tianyun saw that Zi Ynarou was still in her room. He couldn't help but get slightly anxious as he saw the red pendant in his hands.
Suddenly, the bedroom door opened as Zi Yanrou walked out from there.
Jun Tianyun could see that her eyes were red as tear stains were clear on her face.
Zi Yanrou suddenly sat beside the table as she picked the chopsticks. She took a crab leg and a sea cucumber and added them to her bowel.
After having a few quick bites, she nodded as a trace of happiness appeared on her face.
" This tastes good. Where did you order from this time?"
Zi Yanrou asked, though her voice was slightly husky.
" Abalone? Clams and Shrimp?" Wow, It's like you bought everything on the menu."
" I bought from Southern Seafood Hotel."
Jun Tianyun replied as he also ate.
He didn't ask anything about the pendant, hoping that Zi Yanrou would tell him on her own accord.
Zi Yanrou's hunger seemed to be grown as she quickly finished her plate. She laid back on the chair as she rubbed her belly.
" How much does it cost?"
" 30,000 yuan."
" Wow, That's cheap..."
"....."
" HOW MUCH?"
"30,000 Yuan." Jun Tianyun replied again.
Zi Yanrou stared at Jun Tianyun with an angry gaze. Suddenly, she picked the remaining clams and rank all the soup.
" 30,000 Yuan for a dinner? Have you already spent all of your savings on this?" Zi Yanrou shouted.
" Do you like this?"
Jun Tianyun asked.
" Well, Yeh! But..."
" Heh, Then don't ask about the money. As long as you are comfortable, it doesn't matter."
" Moreover, I just earned pretty much today. So, Think of this as a celebration."
Jun Tianyun chuckled.
Zi Yanrou became speechless as she got up to wash her hands.
The atmosphere became silent as they sat on the chair and looked at each other.
Zi Yanrou's expression turned complex as she gazed at Jun Tianyun.
" That pendant... Is it truly what you say it is?"
Zi Yanrou asked after a moment of silence.
" It is."
Jun Tianyun spoke.
" So, What can we do? Throw it?" Zi Yanrou asked.
" Look carefully."
Jun Tianyun held the red pendant as the system prompt appeared again.
[ Ding! Host willing to purify it by using 20 Destiny points and 1000 Fortune points?]
Jun Tianyun clicked on "Yes" as his points were deducted.
Suddenly cracks appeared on the red gem as one could clearly see black smoke arising from it.
The black smoke converged into a skull face as it tried to charge at Zi Yanrou.
However, before it could move, Golden chains appeared around it as it shackled the black skull.
The skull opened its mouth as if it was screaming. However, the golden chains became brighter as the black skull cracked.
Zi Yanrou got scared as she almost fell from her chair.
" Gh-Ghost!"
" It's alright, Sister Zi! It's over."
Jun Tianyun hurried off to her side as he comforted her. Zi Yanrou hugged Jun Tianyun as she burst into tears.
" Jun Tianyun, Why? What's my fault? Why does she keep doing this?!"
Jun Tianyun rubbed her back as he didn't say anything.
" Sister Zi, If you are feeling low, you can share with me. Just vent it out."
Jun Tianyun sighed.
" I... Jun Tianyun, I still need some time."
Zi Yanrou quivered as she said.
" Alright." Jun Tianyun didn't push her as he nodded.
" Jun Tianyun, I... Can you hug me?" Zi Yanrou asked,
Suddenly, Zi Yanro moved as he gently kissed Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun became stunned as he couldn't comprehend what just happened.
Zi Yanrou stopped kissing as she looked at Jun Tianyun with a complex gaze.
" Sister Zi, Wanna go for a ride?"
Jun Tianyun suddenly asked.
" A ride?"
Zi Yanrou couldn't understand. Jun Tianyun held her hand as he dragged her out.
" This car..." Zi Yanrou became surprised when she saw that red Ferrari.
" Just sit."
Jun Tianyun asked. Zi Yanrou nodded as she sat beside Jun Tianyun.
The engine roared as the car became a red blur.
Zi Yanrou's hairs fluttered by the strong winds, but a curve appeared on her lips.
She enjoyed the moment as Jun Tianyun drove the car smoothly.
" My dad... He belonged to the Xia family of Western Province. Xia Family was naturally a well-off business family."
" My father was originally engaged with a woman of Yi family. However, he fell in love with my mother."
" Xia family didn't agree to the relationship at first. However, My father opposed them fiercely."
" In the end, he married both of them. I was the firstborn child. They kept my name, Xia Yanrou."
Jun Tianyun didn't interrupt as he listened to the story of Zi Yanrou.
" Everything slowly sorted out. The Xia Family accepted my mother and me. I grew up happily, along with my step-sister Xia Ling."
" However, my mom fell sick one day. It was some unknown disease."
" Even after our all-out efforts, she died."
Zi Yanrou's vision turned distant.
" After my mother's death, My father's attitude changed. He became more anxious as he was afraid of something."
" My step mom and Xia Ling never saw me in good eyes. But no matter how much they troubled me, I stayed quiet."
" My father made an engagement of me and Ji Shaoyuan, The young master of the Ji family."
" I was originally happy with our relationship. However, my happiness didn't last longer."
" My father suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma. The Family had a meeting as they discussed the main bloodline inheriting the business from my father."
" Suddenly, Xia Ling shouted that she found some documents in my father's room. She accused me of not being the blood daughter of my dad."
" The family member became furious as they conducted a blood test. The result stated that I don't have the blood of my father."
Zi Yanrou wept as she stuttered. Jun Tianyun sighed and passed her a bottle of water. Zi Yanrou drank water as she wiped her tears.
" The Family didn't delay as they expelled me from the family, leaving only a few amounts of money."
" However, Soon, they even froze my bank account. Having nothing, I went to Ji Shaoyuan."
" Bu-But that bastard! He was already in a relationship with Xia Ling."
" He tore the engagement paper as he said he didn't want to marry the daughter of a slut."
Zi Yanrou clenched her fist as her eyes turned red.
" Leaving everything behind, even my surname, I ran off the Green Leaf City. And then, I bumped into you."
Zi Yanrou stopped speaking. She gazed at Jun Tianyun, who was focused on driving.
The wind kept fluttering her hair, However, Zi Yanrou felt different. She felt like a huge weight was taken off her heart.
" I guess, My younger sister doesn't want to leave any loose ends. She wants to finish me for once and all."
" Jun Tianyun, Xia Family, and Yi family are both powerful families. Staying with you, I am afraid they might even harm you." Zi Yanrou continued.
" That's it?" Jun Tianyun finally opened his mouth.
" I thought it was something big. Sister Zi, you scared me earlier." Jun Tianyun chuckled.
He held her hands as Jun Tianyun continued,
" Sister Zi, Fate is a mysterious thing. It's not true that we always get what we are fated with."
" You, Who was originally supposed to have a rich and luxurious life, almost lost your life." Jun Tianyun spoke.
" But at least, I saw the real faces of people around me and found you."
Zi Yanrou gave a light chuckle.
" Allow me to finish, Please."
" Yes, So, I was saying..."
" We must learn to fight back. No matter what, even an ant fight back when it gets cornered."
" As for Xia Ling and others, Don't you want any revenge? Just think about your past suffering. Your mother's death, your father's illness, Your fiance's betrayal."
" Sister Zi, Believe in yourself. Just believe in yourself.
" As for your enemy?"
" Even if they are from the heavenly court, I will drag them to their graves." Jun Tianyun spoke.
Zi Yanrou was stunned when she heard Jun Tianyun's words.
" Hah...Hahaha."
Zi Yanrou suddenly started to laugh as tears fell from her eyes.
" Thank you, Jun Tianyun. Thank you for everything you have done for me."
Zi Yanrou's eyes turned like a crescent moon as she smiled sweetly.
Jun Tianyun became surprised as he saw the Destiny Panel appear above Zi Yanrou's head.
[ Destiny Point: 300]
However, the black panel cracked as it turned golden.
