Chapter 309: Art of Styling

“Anyways, once you’re healed, I’ll help you open a gene lock, and let you get used to it. Then it will be up to you.” Ye Cang reached out and patted Fang Ci’s shoulder with a smile.

“Gene lock?” Fang ci asked doubtfully. From the words, it seemed to be unlocking some hidden potential.

“A living creature’s full power is an extremely terrifying thing, and intelligent creatures are even more so. Among them, man is the paragon. They don’t have strong bodies, yet from ancient times until now, there have been countless people who have broken past the human limits. They all broke some sort of restriction in their minds, thoughts, consciousness, flesh, spirit. The one I will be helping you open will be of your flesh and consciousness. It is commonly known as an awakening. People think that an awakening must come with a heavy price, or one must go through a bitter experience such as losing something important. ColdMoon was like that. With the death of her kin, she paid the price of her facial expressions, tone, and many emotions such as fear, dread, she’s lost them all. As for whether she can regain them, I also don’t know.” Ye Cang’s words made Fang Ci feel like the things he didn’t know were too many.

“So… you want me to help me awaken?” Fang Ci nodded.

“You can say that. The ‘door’ that I want to open for you, our sect… it should be considered a sect right? Anyways, you’ll understand. You’ll feel endless strength that has been locked under layers and layers of bindings. You will start to undo these fetters one after the other, to obtain more of this strength, and the power it gives you, the treasures locked beneath.”

Fang Ci imagined himself being restrained by layers upon layers of shackles. This comparison seemed quite accurate. Just how much potential does a human have? Nobody knows. Just look at the Chrysanthemum Emperor who became peerless on the entire earth in his teens, proving humanity’s potential.

Some other location, deep on the mountains.

“Brother Lin. Eldest brother and master said that if we can’t produce a pill, then we’ll be punished.” A young lady with a pleasing appearance said.

“It’s fine. I’ve already grasped the lawless way. When they come, I’ll let them taste the pain of having their butts exploded by a pill. Eldest brother and master, I hate them the most.” Said a boy with a naive and guiltless smile.

…

Enough sidetracking. The scene returns to the two on the beach.

“Ok, let’s go back inside.” Ye Cang said, then went inside and returned to the game. Fang Ci continued to stare at the waves. “Looks like I’ve been picked up by an amazing guy. However, I really do need strength to protect her and…”

Fang Ci turned and looked at the seaside cottage. His expression showed a firm determination, and he slowly got up to return.

…

Ye Cang was bored, but didn’t want to go level. He looked at the rankings and saw that nothing much had changed, making him feel even lazier. He decided to go back to Airy’s house to drink some tea and chat. He personally made some tea, and Airy watched as a purple smoke in the shape of a skull puffed up from it. The smell was so disgusting that Little Mary had run back to her room, and hid under her blanket. She thought to herself, Let’s not let him near the kitchen, the tea set, or the oven.
