168: Chapter 168 Another Chosen One? Killed by the Demon King in his past life, reborn to seek revenge!
"Get him!"
Chu Yang and the others all rushed forward.
They were going to deal with him anyway...
But learning that he was a Child of Destiny... made them even more excited!
Jie jie jie~~~
Mo Yuan's spiritual power was directly sealed.
The group grabbed hold of his physical form.
Scrambling together, they pinned him to the ground and gave him a brutal beating.
Opportunities to beat up a Specter were quite rare nowadays!
Shen Yuan snorted coldly.
Why was this Ghost King a Child of Destiny?
Because he followed that classic Overbearing CEO pseudo-humanistic script — Domineering Ghost King × Mortal Girl.
He was the male lead.
The female lead was named Su Ya, who happened to be Wen Xun's university classmate.
It was just that Wen Xun and Su Ya had met for a meal two days ago, and Wen Xun had picked up Su Ya's scent.
That was why she was haunted by a wisp of Mo Yuan's ghostly energy.
The other party had intended to possess Wen Xun tonight to go find Su Ya.
Mo Yuan was a Great General from the Qing Dynasty and had past-life entanglements with Su Ya.
The reason Su Ya could reincarnate was that she was a cultivator in her past life; she had borrowed a jade pendant from Mo Yuan to enable her rebirth.
Mo Yuan and Su Ya were destined to be entangled for a lifetime, playing out a romance between a human and a ghost.
A few days ago, Mo Yuan woke up and lured several people over to devour their essence and blood for his cultivation.
When Wen Xun stumbled in, Mo Yuan sensed Su Ya's aura on her, so he only left a mark and didn't kill her immediately.
As for the girl who was with Wen Xun, she carried a protective talisman, and since Mo Yuan only cared about clues regarding Su Ya at the time, he ignored her.
This was why Wen Xun fell victim while that girl was still lively enough to do a livestream.
In the future seen through the Eye of Destiny...
The phrase Su Ya said most often was:
"Lord Ghost King, please show some respect!"
Mo Yuan would say, "You are my woman; no one in this world dares to touch you."
From beginning to end, Wen Xun was just a tool, discarded after use.
Su Ya feigned disdain, but in her heart, she felt a bit of pride!
Even a Ghost King has fallen in love with me!
The boys who pursued her would mysteriously disappear, only to be found dead in abandoned buildings, looking eerie and cold as if their life force had been drained.
Su Ya would only say, "You demon, I will never be with you!"
A few middle-aged women who gossiped about her behind her back went mad overnight.
Su Ya would still say that same line, "Lord Ghost King, please show some respect!"
The wealthy heiress she was jealous of was casually wiped out by Mo Yuan.
The boss who criticized her at work for being unfamiliar with the business saw his entire family die a tragic death.
Simply because Mo Yuan was paranoid and insane; if anyone made Su Ya even slightly unhappy, he would kill them on a whim.
It seemed like he was standing up for Su Ya, but in reality, he was conveniently devouring souls to nourish himself.
Su Ya would point fingers at first, but later, she turned a blind eye.
Because she felt that with Mo Yuan's protection, her life was incredibly secure.
What's more...
Even the dignified Ghost King apologized to her for the killings; of course, she could only choose to forgive him.
Su Ya ultimately couldn't resist Mo Yuan's charm.
Furthermore, Su Ya herself wasn't a good person.
Sometimes, she would intentionally put on a wronged expression.
Then Mo Yuan would strike, killing everyone who "bullied" her.
In the end, Su Ya gave everything to help Mo Yuan condense a physical body and reach the peak.
Mo Yuan also gave his all to give her a grand wedding that transcended life and death.
But in their love story...
Too many innocent people became souls lost to Mo Yuan's blade.
No, they weren't even lost souls; their spirits were directly annihilated.
Su Ya even said later that Mo Yuan just lacked love.
As long as she gave him enough love, he would no longer plague the world.
Shen Yuan didn't know why Zhang Xuan hadn't appeared in this story.
As the successor of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, he should have jumped out to slay the demon and eliminate the evil!
Could it be because... without my involvement, the Little Celestial Master's plot doesn't unfold in the Magic Capital?
"Ding! Discovered an Excellent-grade Child of Destiny!"
The system's voice rang out again.
Shen Yuan was stunned and snapped his head around, following the system's prompt.
He saw a handsome young man dressed in Taoist robes, holding a peach wood sword, walking inside.
Young Man: "..."
What's the situation?
I was prepared to die, intending to perish together with Mo Yuan.
But as soon as I entered, I saw a group of people gang-beating Mo Yuan?
Shen Yuan and the young man stared at each other.
The young man swallowed hard, "Greetings, Lay Buddhist!"
"This humble Taoist is Huai An, secular name Fang Zhiyuan!"
The young Taoist performed a hand-salute, "Could the Lay Buddhist tell me what is going on?"
Shen Yuan: "..."
"We're beating up a Ghost King here!"
Shen Yuan said with a calm face.
Are Children of Destiny bunching up today?
Excellent-grade, and a Taoist to boot.
It was clear he had the same script as Zhang Xuan.
However, since I have Zhang Xuan, I don't need you.
Taoist Huai An's face twitched.
I know you're beating up a Ghost King!
But can you tell me why you are beating up a Ghost King?
And why does the Ghost King have no power to fight back?
Shen Yuan stared at Taoist Huai An, a golden light flashing in his eyes.
Eye of Destiny, open!
Reverse the situation!
Shen Yuan: Oh ho!
Turns out he's a reincarnator!
Today's protagonists are quite interesting!
One is the original protagonist of the story, and the other is a protagonist who was reborn for revenge!
In his past life, Taoist Huai An was just an ordinary person.
Although spiritual energy had begun to recover and specters were gradually appearing, most ordinary people were unaware of such things.
As for Taoist Huai An, oh, Fang Zhiyuan.
He was just an ordinary person in his last life.
The classic protagonist start: an orphan from an orphanage.
Sponsored by... the Shen Family's foundation?
Shen Yuan: "???"
Is this someone I sponsored?
Why don't I have any impression of him?
Oh, that was his past life, not this one.
Fang Zhiyuan knew well that education could change one's destiny; he worked hard and had excellent grades.
Moreover, he was pure-hearted by nature, gentle with others, and full of goodwill toward the world.
He was passionate about life, possessed a heart of gold, worked diligently, and treated others with sincerity...
He should have had a plain and stable life.
But he died.
He died at the hands of Mo Yuan!
And he died in an extremely absurd way!
That day, he went to the orphanage to volunteer, wanting to give back to society.
And Su Ya and Mo Yuan had a fight.
Su Ya had also run out.
Mo Yuan pestered her, and Su Ya threw a tantrum.
Su Ya said, "It's impossible for me to ever love you in this lifetime!"
Mo Yuan said, "Woman, you can't escape the palm of my hand in this lifetime."
Su Ya snorted and said something while pointing at Fang Zhiyuan, who was coming out of the orphanage.
"I'm telling you, even if I find an ordinary person like him, I won't love you!"
And then...
Mo Yuan killed Fang Zhiyuan with a single slap!
Su Ya snorted, "You killed someone again."
Mo Yuan said, "Whoever you love, I will kill."
Su Ya said, "You are simply unreasonable!"
Mo Yuan said, "I am heartless, I am cold, I am unreasonable."
Su Ya ran off in a huff, and Mo Yuan chased after her again.
No one felt pity for Fang Zhiyuan.
Because Mo Yuan had acted so casually, Fang Zhiyuan's soul hadn't been annihilated; instead, stimulated by the Ghost King's aura, his soul emerged.
He didn't know why he had died.
He drifted about, not knowing what to do...
It just so happened that a Maoshan Taoist traveling here discovered him.
The Maoshan Taoist felt he hadn't done any evil, so he protected his soul and, after inquiring, went to find Mo Yuan.
He followed the Taoist and saw Mo Yuan and Su Ya causing the deaths of countless people just for the sake of their romance.
The Maoshan Taoist was furious and wanted to slay the demon and eliminate the evil.
The result...
The Taoist died!
Shen Yuan: "..."
