Chapter 298: New Guest
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Li Xiandao was shocked, "Another guest?"
He had just scattered the 100 watches out, and now, a second guest had come. This was really quite fast.
Seven smiled, "Maybe, there are many people from Cold Moon Sky who need miracles."
Li Xiandao asked, "What is this person's name and identity?"
Li Xiandao put on his mask and changed into different clothes before he walked towards the Trading Hall.
Seven followed Li Xiandao and said, "She is Feng Jiuer and she comes from the Gold Family. She has the phoenix blood, but due to an incomplete soul, she is awake for short portions of time."
Li Xiandao asked, "She is a fool?"
"Most of the time, but when she is awake, she is really quite normal. The only thing is she is often awake for short periods." Seven was filled with regret.
"So, she looks for the Bank of the Universe when she is awake?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Right, this is a really special guest!" Seven nodded.
Li Xiandao came to the Trading Hall and saw Feng Jiuer.
She was a bit fat!
Unlike the usual thin teens, she was round. Her small face was ordinary but the areas that shouldn't have been round were very round which made her look bloated.
Feng Jiuer looked warily at Li Xiandao and Seven. She didn't dare to exchange glances with Li Xiandao and instead looked at Seven in envy.
Which girl didn't like beauty?
Seven's beauty made Feng Jiuer feel sad. She looked at her own body and felt annoyed. But in the end, she just sighed helplessly.
"Please sit!" Li Xiandao said.
Feng Jiuer pointed at herself in shock.
Li Xiandao nodded, "You are my guest, so of course, you should sit."
"Can your Bank of the Universe really alter my destiny?" Feng Jiuer sat down and asked anxiously.
Li Xiandao looked at her. His dark pupils under the mask saw right through her.
Her cultivation was at Human Celestial peak!
Compared to those of the same age group, she wasn't outstanding. But Li Xiandao found it really unbelievable that she had reached such a realm while spending most of her life in such a state.
"The Bank of the Universe can change your fate but what can you pay?" Li Xiandao asked.
"I..." Feng Jiuer was speechless.
"I am dumb, I don't have.. anything." Feng Jiuer was dejected.
Li Xiandao looked at her calmly and asked, "Do you mind talking about yourself?"
Feng Jiuer frowned as she looked at Li Xiandao. She was unwilling to talk about her past.
Those were insults!
To her, her body was a huge insult. Even half her soul was an insult.
She was embarrassed to mention it.
Li Xiandao explained, "I am not humiliating you. I just want to know about your experiences and find out what thing of value you have to trade with the Bank of the Universe."
Feng Jiuer kept silent for a moment and said, "I am just a normal kid from the Gold Family. When I was born, a phoenix flew over and landed on my family's tree. The family felt that this was a good sign and anticipated my birth."
"But when I was born, both my parents were killed when an enemy attacked. I was taken in by the family and they raised me till I was six."
"When I was six, everyone needed to test their talent and bloodline purity. Out of the few hundred children, my bloodline purity was extremely strong and reached the level of the ancestor." Feng Jiuer was proud when she said that. But she sighed right after.
"I thought I would fly to the heavens and be heavily focused and nurtured. But at the same time, they found out that my soul was incomplete and a part of my soul was missing. I couldn't accept it and fell into a coma. After I woke up, I was crazy for a year." Feng Jiuer felt pained. The joy and sadness made her mad for one year. That was quite cruel for a six-year-old.
"After that, I was awake for half a month. Right after everyone thought that I was okay, I went mad for 3 months. After 3 months, I woke for 10 days." Feng Jiuer said calmly.
"Over these years, I had enough of such a life and tried to change it. I used the time I was awake to cultivate. But I didn't have much time and was only able to reach peak Human Celestial." Feng Jiuer felt bitter.
"My craziness threw tarnished the Gold Family's reputation, so they suggested chasing me out. But as some people objected, they tied me up and locked me in a damp jail. Occassionally, they would toss food down for me. So, just like that, I turned into this." Feng Jiuer finished her introduction.
It was really short but the pain in her story couldn't be comprehended by ordinary people.
Feng Jiuer didn't want Li Xiandao to pity her. When she was awake, she knew that there was no so-called pitying in this world.
If one didn't go through what she had, one wouldn't be able to understand and pity her!
She hoped that Li Xiandao could represent the Bank of the Universe and change her life.
She didn't want to continue like this and be raised like a dog.
This was why she looked at Li Xiandao in anticipation and asked, "Can the Bank of the Universe help me?"
Li Xiandao was silent for a moment. He was analyzing her experiences and her value.
Feng Jiuer saw that Li Xiandao didn't speak and her heart sank.
Hope... Gone!
Li Xiandao looked at the dejected Feng Jiuer and smiled, "Of course, there is a way and since you are here, I can help you."
Feng Jiuer's eyes opened wide and she looked at Li Xiandao in surprise. She was like a drowning person grasping a life saving wooden board, not willing to let go.
"Can you actually help me?" Feng Jiuer's voice was trembling. She was filled with emotions. She hadn't seen the light in decades. Now that she had seen the light, she wasn't even sure whether this was a dream or reality?
"Of course, the reason why you were like this is because your bloodline was too pure. But your soul was incomplete, so your divinity was unable to control your body." Li Xiandao gave his own explanation.
Only
While Feng Jiuer was talking, Li Xiandao was studying her. He shot True Qi into her body to check and investigate and confirm that the problem was that her soul was incomplete.
In the past, Li Xiandao might have found it hard to solve.
But Tian Guangming's Goddess of Light soul gave Li Xiandao inspiration
Tian Guangming didn't want to merge with that soul, so Li Xiandao still stored it in the treasury.
Now, he could use it to merge with Feng Jiuer to complete her soul.
"I can help you solve your problem and control your body. What about you?"
"What can you give me in exchange for this life-changing opportunity?" Li Xiandao pointed at Feng Jiuer and at the table. With a thud, Feng Jiuer raised her head and looked at Li Xiandao with determination.
