NFBE Chapter 155 Heaven's Way Chosen Xue Lan
Chapter 155 Heaven's Way Chosen Xue Lan
Whether Xue Lan was satisfied or not, Lu Feng didn't know, but Lu Feng was utterly dissatisfied. The young man looked at the girl in front of him warily, his gaze far from friendly.
However, Xue Lan is a natural-born social butterfly, and a shameless one at that.
The girl took two steps forward and gently wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth: "What are you doing here during the New Year?"
Lu Feng didn't want to answer Xue Lan's question, but he knew Xue Lan's cultivation level and dared not remain silent.
When you're under someone's roof, even the main character has to bow their head.
The young man bowed to the girl before him: "Lu Feng greets the immortal. Lu Feng was ordered by his master to deliver ironware to the neighboring village, and accidentally obtained a fragment of a map. By a twist of fate, he was pulled into this secret realm."
By chance, by coincidence, by twist of fate, by twist of fate again.
This must be the conclusion Xue Tong was referring to regarding the main character!
The boy's expression practically screamed that I didn't intentionally want to cultivate; it was just that God fed me.
Xue Lan smiled and tapped Xue Tong.
Xue Tong was nearly frantic at home when she suddenly received a message from Xue Lan, and immediately launched into a barrage of words:
[Xue Lan, do you really think you're some kind of omnipotent demon lord? Why are you running away with those big, disdainful eyes? Are you out of your mind...?]
"I've seen Lu Feng, can you come over?" Xue Lan gently interrupted Xue Tong.
"What have you done now?" Xue Tong was somewhat numb. Although Xue Lan was a host who liked to cause trouble, she was very serious when it came to something as important as stopping the original male lead.
I just don't know what she did this time.
Xue Lan laughed heartily, stepping on Lu Feng's head: "That's not right of you. He's already cultivated to the late stage of Qi Refining and you didn't tell me! Now I have to call him 'Fellow Daoist' when I see him."
Xue Tong's voice was very calm: "He's the male lead; it's normal for him to have some fortuitous opportunities."
He's the chosen one in the original author's setting. Why don't you and I try to summon a bolt of lightning to strike him down?
Xue Lan thought the suggestion was perfect, and the girl nodded slowly, her eyes firm.
"Go and talk to them!"
Xue Tong nearly jumped up on the spot: 【You really dared to do that!】
You think this Yuanming Realm is just a world you created, where you can change everything at will?
Xue Lan found this person rather strange.
She was the one who made the suggestion, and now that Xue Lan has agreed, she's starting to blame Xue Lan.
It's just a child's mentality.
Xue Lan spoke.
"Is the Way of Heaven failing?"
Xue Tong looked sullen: 【Of course not!】
Xue Lan nodded knowingly: "The Heavenly Way cannot move Lu Feng, nor can it move me."
Heaven cannot move Lu Feng, because he is the center of this world. The flow of the world's fortunes revolves around this young man, and the world's resources are tilted towards him alone, all to bring about that predetermined ending.
Everyone in the mortal world who sees Lu Feng will automatically make way for him, because the young man is entangled with the fortune and karma of the entire Yuanming Realm. This creates the legendary saying: those who obey me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
Heaven dares not touch Xue Lan, because Xue Lan is an anomaly, the only anomaly unaffected by the plot of this place.
The powerful demon lord returned after drifting through the river of time for a thousand years. Because he did not belong to the cycle of reincarnation, he was particularly prone to getting entangled in karma.
It can be said that... it is not tolerated by heaven and earth, yet it still exists amidst countless causes and effects.
If there were someone in this world to take over all the predetermined karma on Lu Feng's body...
This person can only be oneself.
Thinking of this, Xue Lan chuckled softly.
It wasn't until she saw Lu Feng, who had already begun cultivating, that she began to confront the idea of the Heavenly Dao.
Xue Lan knew before that both she and Lu Feng were pawns of the Heavenly Dao. However, at the time, Xue Lan did not feel any discomfort from being a pawn, and since she also needed to obtain the information she wanted from the system, she pretended not to see through it.
But now that I think about it, it doesn't really matter whether Xue Lan or Lu Feng is left in the end in this game of Heaven's will.
At least from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao... there is no difference.
Xue Lan was the one who held firm to the cause. She couldn't bear to part with those countless living beings, so she planned to start with Luoxia Mountain, Ji Jinjin, the Mortal Dynasty, and Wan Gongfang to protect the Yuanming Realm.
But Lu Feng is not... he is a destroyer.
According to Xue Tong's previous statement, Lu Feng disrupted the existing order and peace of the Yuanming Realm, completing a thorough purge and reversal.
He won't care.
They wouldn't care about the soldiers still desperately holding out at Luoxia Mountain, nor would they care about the mortal dynasty trying to survive, and they certainly wouldn't care about those mortals...
mortal……
A sharp pain shot through Xue Lan's chest, as if she had been stabbed by something sharp.
From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, choosing Lu Feng is more advantageous.
Brutal methods can establish a relatively stable regime in the shortest amount of time, thereby improving the precarious situation in the Yuan-Ming border region as quickly as possible.
However, Heaven chose Xue Lan.
Although He was on His last breath, in grave danger, and on the verge of disappearing.
But He still chose her.
They chose Xue Lan, a rebel who ignored Him and even provoked Him a thousand years ago.
Xue Lan suddenly wondered if the Heavenly Dao was thinking... "It's over" when it learned that Xue Tong had chosen it as her host.
As the girl was pondering, the figure of a little girl appeared out of thin air in front of her; it was Xue Tong.
As soon as Xue Tong appeared, she saw Lu Feng being trampled under Xue Lan's feet, and she almost choked on her own breath.
She clutched her chest and screamed dramatically, "Give me my medicine...where are my nitroglycerin pills? Give me my medicine!"
Xue Lan silently took out a string of zombie-themed candied hawthorns from her sleeve and handed it to Xue Tong in front of her: "Stop shouting!"
Xue Tong took the candied hawthorn and took a bite. She now accepts things that Xue Lan takes out from her sleeve quite well, and sometimes she will even reach in herself to see if there is anything delicious.
The young girl took a bite of a hawthorn and looked at Lu Feng, who had fainted on the ground, and said, "He's supposed to be the original male lead, can't you at least try to reason with him? We're both respectable professionals, aren't we?"
Xue Lan didn't take it to heart: "Why should I reason with him? I'm not good at reasoning!"
[Are you and your senior apprentice this stubborn too? Are you and Xu Qizhou and Yin Shishi this stubborn too?]
Xue Lan didn't take it to heart: "That's a senior teacher, this one in front of me... is just a junior!"
Xue Tong's expression froze, thinking to herself that she truly lived up to her reputation as a supporting female character in a male-oriented novel, deeply understanding the rules of the cultivation world.
"Now that you've knocked him out, what are we going to do? Do you know where we are?" Xue Tong asked Xue Lan in quick succession.
Xue Lan used her divine sense to explore her surroundings and sense the layout of the area.
This is a majestic mountain peak, with a verdant, gentle slope on one side and a steep, gray cliff on the other.
A gray-blue plank road had been built along the steep cliff, slowly leading to the summit. The higher one went, the more shrouded in mist became, making it difficult for Xue Tong to see clearly.
On the plank road above, Xue Lan saw other people, mostly human cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. Crowds of cultivators were climbing upwards, seeking their own opportunities within this secret realm.
So, Lu Feng was actually the last person to climb the ladder.
"It's not some profound grotto-heaven; it's probably the cave dwelling of that fallen Golden Core cultivator. There must be a minimum cultivation level for entry—below the Golden Core stage!"
Xue Tong finished her candied hawthorn: [What did you say?]
Xue Lan smiled gently: "I don't follow the usual path!"
Xue Tong looked at the original male lead, who was lying unconscious on the ground: "Shall we take him upstairs?"
Xue Lan was reluctant to move: "Wouldn't it be better to just stay here?"
Xue Tong: [This is the protagonist of a dark fantasy cultivation novel; nothing good ever happens where he goes.]
Xue Lan countered, "So, taking him with you will drive away those demons and monsters?"
Xue Tong shook her head.
So the two of them finally took Xue Lan's suggestion and rested on the spot. Xue Lan calculated that the time flow in this cave was ten times that of the outside world. If they resolved the issue within ten hours and returned, they wouldn't be scolded by Yu Niang.
As it turns out, Lu Feng truly deserves to be the protagonist.
The two had been by Lu Feng's side for less than a quarter of an hour when Xue Lan sensed dozens of demonic energies around them.
Lu Feng also slowly woke up at this moment, and a well-behaved smiling face appeared in front of him.
Xue Tong's voice is sweet:
You're like that bait!
Lu Feng: ?
