"Encountering danger?" Xing Chen's gaze shifted slightly, and then he picked up a stone from beside him and threw it into the river.
The stone hit the water, instantly creating a splash. The fish that had been swimming quietly around all darted forward at full speed. However, to Xing Chen's disappointment, none of the fish swam back.
"It seems his method is indeed flawed," Xing Chen said after a moment of silence.
"Alright, stop thinking about that. How is your injury now? It should be much better than a month ago, right?" Meng Xiner changed the subject.
"Not bad. I estimate it will take about another year to fully recover," Xing Chen replied with a smile.
"It won't take that long. You'll recover soon. You should be able to handle some medicinal pills now. As long as you have enough pills to support you, you can fully heal quite quickly. I think in about a month, you should be almost completely recovered," Meng Xiner said with a light smile. The treasures that the Diviner extorted from those people in the Nine Heavens Imperial Palace were all in Meng Xiner's hands, including many precious medicinal pills.
With these pills to support him, Meng Xiner believed that Xing Chen would definitely recover quickly.
"Thank you," Xing Chen said as he looked at Meng Xiner's charming face and slowly spoke. If it weren't for Meng Xiner's care, he might have already died.
After all, at the very beginning, he couldn't even walk. Even if the injuries inside him wouldn't kill him, hunger would.
"Then how are you going to thank me?" Meng Xiner asked with a charming smile on her face.
"What do you want me to do to thank you?" Xing Chen countered.
"Um... how about you listen to me from now on?" Meng Xiner pretended to think for a moment before speaking.
"Sure, but you need to give me a reason why I should listen to you. If it's just to thank you, that's not enough," Xing Chen said with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.
"You need a reason! What if there isn't one?" Meng Xiner pouted and asked Xing Chen.
"If there isn't one, then it can only be left alone," Xing Chen replied slowly before turning and running away. He knew this statement would surely anger Meng Xiner, so it was better to run first; otherwise, he would be in for it.
"Hey! You're teasing me again! Don't run! If I catch you, you'll definitely regret it!" Meng Xiner huffed and immediately stood up to chase after Xing Chen.
With her strength, she could easily catch up to Xing Chen, but she didn't use her martial arts or spatial powers; she just ran forward like an ordinary person.
"I am not messing with you. As long as you can find a reason, I will definitely listen to you from now on," Xing Chen said while running.
"The reason is that you are not as strong as me right now. You have to agree, whether you want to or not," Meng Xiner said stubbornly.
"If you have the ability, wait until I recover. We can settle this then. If you can still defeat me at that time, I will definitely follow your lead and obey your commands," Xing Chen replied.
"You don't need to settle anything to know who is stronger. Stop right there, or I will definitely not let you go," Meng Xiner threatened from behind Xing Chen.
"I won't stop even if it kills me," Xing Chen said, looking back at Meng Xiner, who was getting closer.
"Kid, what game are you playing?" Suddenly, a voice echoed in Xing Chen's mind; it was the voice of Hate Emperor.
"Oh, you're finally awake! Tell me what happened after I passed out!" Upon hearing Hate Emperor's voice, Xing Chen was both surprised and delighted. Three months had passed, and Hate Emperor had finally woken up, which made him happy. However, Hate Emperor's sudden voice almost scared him to death.
"Oh, you're asking about that? I'm not really sure what happened. You were only unconscious for a short time before I also passed out. For the specifics, you'll have to ask the person chasing you," Hate Emperor said.
"Seriously? Are you telling the truth or just messing with me?" Xing Chen asked skeptically, feeling that there must be some trick involved.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Hate Emperor replied.
"You might be lying to me right now," Xing Chen rolled his eyes and said. At that moment, because he was distracted by his conversation with Hate Emperor, his speed decreased significantly, allowing Meng Xiner to catch up with him easily.
"Hmph, running away? You're really running away!" Meng Xiner said as she caught Xing Chen.
"I'm not running anymore; I'm too tired. You look tired too, so why don't we take a break first?" Xing Chen said while secretly wiping away a cold sweat.
"Go dream on! Now that I've caught you, how should we punish you? Hmm, I have a bag of itching powder here; do you want to give it a try?" Meng Xiner said with a charming smile, her eyes curving like a crescent moon as she looked at Xing Chen.
"No, no! Please don't! I'll listen to you from now on! Just don't use those poisons you've developed on me," Xing Chen said with a pained expression.
"It’s been a while since we last met; I didn't expect you to become so henpecked. You're really embarrassing us men!" Hate Emperor said gleefully in Xing Chen's mind.
"Damn it! You stand there and talk without feeling any pain, Rascal! Wait until you have a physical body and try her itching powder; then you'll know what it's like," Xing Chen cursed angrily before turning his pained gaze towards Meng Xiner.
"Is this really yours? I didn't force you," Meng Xiner said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's mine, you didn't force me," Xing Chen replied, hanging his head.
"Well, since you're being so obedient, let's just pass by you," Meng Xiner said as she loosened her grip and held Xing Chen's hand.
"Hate Emperor, you gloating rascal, let me ask you a question. What is your understanding of fate?" After Meng Xiner released him, Xing Chen quickly distanced himself from her and asked.
"Fate? Fate is nonsense; I never believe in fate," Hate Emperor said shamelessly.
"Don't believe in fate? Then how did you break through to the Gaze of Fate?" Xing Chen asked in confusion.
"Who told you that to break through to the Gaze of Fate, you must believe in fate?" Hate Emperor scoffed.
"It was the Diviner. He said that if I can't understand the true meaning of fate, I won't be able to break through to the Gaze of Fate. Even the Fate Divine Pill would be useless to me," Xing Chen explained.
"He was just talking nonsense..." Just as Hate Emperor was about to curse loudly, he suddenly recalled what Punishment had said to him and quickly changed his tone. "What he said might be nonsense for others, but for you, it’s true. If you can't understand the true meaning of fate, you indeed won't be able to break through to the Gaze of Fate because you're different from others."
"In what way am I different from others? Do I have extra arms or missing legs?" Xing Chen retorted angrily.
"You don't have extra arms or missing legs; it's because of your physique. Your physique is extremely rare; I've never seen anyone else with such a physique besides you," Hate Emperor replied.
"So my physique is blocking my path forward?" Xing Chen gritted his teeth. While others' physiques accelerated their cultivation or enhanced their combat power, his physique had become a stumbling block.
"That's right. But first, tell me what the Diviner's exact words were," Hate Emperor said.
"He..." Xing Chen repeated what the Diviner had said and then waited for Hate Emperor's response.
"Theoretically, what he said is not wrong; your words are also correct. However, you've entered a misunderstanding. The grass represents ordinary beings, but you are not an ordinary person; you are a towering tree standing among the grass. No matter how strong the wind blows, it cannot move you at all. You can act according to your own will without being at the mercy of fate," Hate Emperor explained.
"You're right; I'm not an ordinary person. I have great power; even fate cannot do anything to me," Xing Chen's eyes sparkled with insight. Hate Emperor's words felt like a wake-up call that instantly enlightened him.
"Haha, that's natural! Just look at who I am; my words are truth and cannot be wrong," Hate Emperor boasted proudly.
"Hey, hey..." At that moment, Meng Xiner's voice came to Xing Chen's ears. Meng Xiner had originally planned to leave, but when she saw Xing Chen suddenly lost in thought, she couldn't help but look at him for a while longer. However, after observing Xing Chen for nearly half an hour, he was still standing there in a daze.
This made Meng Xiner start to wonder, could it be that Xing Chen was foolish?
"Ah? What happened?" Xing Chen finally came back to his senses and looked at Meng Xiner.
"What happened? How can you even ask me that? You've been dazed for a whole half an hour! What's going on? Tell me quickly," Meng Xiner said, her gaze fixed intently on Xing Chen.
"Well, I was thinking about what the Diviner said. I got too absorbed in it, so I ended up zoning out," Xing Chen explained.
"That reason is somewhat acceptable, but I know that's definitely not the real reason. You can't possibly be dazed just because of that," Meng Xiner smiled and said.
"It really is because of that!" Xing Chen's lips twitched slightly before he continued.
"Save that for someone else; I don't believe you," Meng Xiner huffed.
"Then what do you think it is?" Xing Chen said with a bitter expression. Meng Xiner was just too difficult to deal with. If she kept asking like this, he might really end up revealing the existence of the Hate Emperor.
