Chapter 20 (1/2)

Kou Lu was dead… by a toothpick.

This was the world of pract.i.tioners, but Kou Lu was outside of this world. It was not only the Value a.s.sembly Courtyard’s gate, but also the gate between the pract.i.tioners and the normal people. Kou Lu had only just wanted to pa.s.s that gate, but he died.

An Zheng silently looked at the toothpick. The toothpick was very normal. It was made of bamboo, and its head had some of Kou Lu's blood. An Zheng went to the gate of the Value a.s.sembly Courtyard. He took out all the silver bars in his chest. It was about two or three hundred liang's. After that, he put them in a guard’s hand:

– “If you don’t mind, please help me to buy a coffin and put his corpse inside. I am going to come back and and bury him in a while.”

The guard was going to say no. However, when he saw An Zheng’s eyes, he did not know why he had felt like his heart broken. He could only nod. He felt that if he said no, his soul would have vanished in a minute.

An Zheng at that time did not have obviously such powers, but his eyes did.

The guard received the silver bars from An Zheng, and he hesitated a bit. An Zheng went to the gate. He turned down to look at the threshold. In the past when An Zheng had come here, he did not notice this threshold. Now he suddenly understood that there was a threshold between the pract.i.tioners and normal people, and the threshold was very high. An Zheng even thought that if he had pa.s.sed the gate, was it possible that a toothpick would also had flown out to kill him?

Therefore, he stepped on the threshold for a while like provoking it.

Nothing happened.

He came inside and saw the girl in a purple skirt. She was a special girl. People were attracted by her mysterious temperament. It was however strange. She was most likely similar to a widow who was holding her child under the sun. She caused no feelings of provoking. However, she revealed something elegant as if she was loved by tens of thousands people right after she had been born.

– “Welcome here again, Mister Little!”

Sha laughed and said.

In the past, she called An Zheng little friend. Now she called him Mister Little. An Zheng did not know if she changed her way of calling meant that she had changed her att.i.tude towards him or not. It used to be hot, and now was even hotter.

– “What should I call you?”

An Zheng asked:

The girl in the purple skirt smiled. Although the silk mask hid her smile, it could not hide her eyes which were glowing like the moonlight.

– “You can call me Mistress Great.

An Zheng mumbled:

– “Mister Little, Mistress Great… It sounds like sister and brother.

The girl in purple skirt said softly:

– “People in this place call me Xiaojie [1], but my friends call me Mistress Great. If you feel that we have a fate of sister and brother, it will not be bad. I don’t mind if I have an interesting little brother like you. How about you? Do you mind?”

An Zheng nodded:

– “Yes, I do.”

The girl in purple skirt knitted her brows softly:

– “Why?

An Zheng seriously replied:

– “It's because sister and brother cannot think far beyond their position.”

The girl in purple skirt was surprised:

– “Are you playing joke on me?”

An Zheng seriously replied:

– “No, I’m not. Don’t you feel that?”

The brows of the girl in purple skirt knitted more:

– “Do you think that you can play joke on me at this moment?”

An Zheng turned to look down, and then he sighed:

– “Fate is always miserable.”

The girl in the purple skirt might have felt that An Zheng was very interesting, so she did not get mad:

– “I have never seen such an interesting child like you for years. Last time, I had met a little child of the Su family in the Illusory Perennial Domicile. He was a little naughtier than you. Moreover, his natural talents were also higher than yours. He had reached Cleansing the Marrow at six. When he was seven, he had reached the First Essence Stage, and the Third Essence Stage at nine.”

She stroke on An Zheng’s head:

– “What a pity! He was dead when he was ten.”

An Zheng also knitted his brows. He looked at the big b.o.o.bs while she was bending down:

– “It was really a pity. It’s my good luck that I am going to pa.s.s my tenth birthday in three days. Maybe I'll live longer than that child a bit. Life is beautiful. The scene in front of me is an example. Therefore, life is better than death. Mistress Great can come directly to the topic. Although I am young, it doesn’t mean that I am not hard.”

The girl in purple skirt still did not get mad. If another man had told her off like that, he must have died for hundreds of thousands of times. However, again and again, she felt that An Zheng was a special child. Although he had said something naughty, it did not cause the people to hate him.

– “Hard?”

She smiled and half closed her eyes:

– “So, wait until you get hard enough so that you can play joke on me. I believe that you will be very hard in the future with your talents. But you are really not that talented now.”

She stood up and turned back to go inside. Her waist moved a little, her f.a.n.n.y perked up, and her legs kept straight. The most important thing was that if seeing her from behind, her f.a.n.n.y c.h.i.n.k could be hazily seen. An Zheng was sure that she was purposeful. Therefore, An Zheng knew that he had failed. He played joke on her, and then she played one back.

– ”I somehow want to be an adult.”

An Zheng smiled and went upstairs to the second floor. After that, he saw Chen ShaoBai standing at the corner of the second floor. That quiet youth was obviously crying.

– “An Zheng… the Chen family is no more.”

He said.

An Zheng was a little surprised, and then he nodded:
