310 Jinx, Savior, and Punisher
When Yuchi came back to his senses, Cofuran muttered unhappily, “In this world, I think you are the only man who can ignore me.”
Yuchi, on the other hand, was a little confused. He looked at Yue Hanjiang, who was looking at him with a smile. Although he did not know what was going on, he still smiled and said casually, “Well, if you don’t want me to ignore you, then grab my attention.”
Cofuran’s face instantly turned red.
This man!
How uncouth!
“Master, you’re truly the role model of our generation,” Hanjiang cheered.
Then…
Bang!
Bang!
Soon after.
Yuchi rubbed his head, which now sported two bruises. His thoughts drifted elsewhere again.
As Yue Hanjiang chuckled, Cofuran continued where she had left off.
“Before we talk about punishers, you have to listen to me, Hanjiang. Your master is so bad, and doesn’t know how to control what he says. Make sure you don’t learn his bad habits.”
Yue Hanjiang blinked her big eyes.
“But I like it when he says such things. It’s so entertaining!”
Cofuran was speechless.
‘Sigh, as expected, the disciple would take after the master.’
She then returned to the topic, and said to Yue Hanjiang.
“Your existence is not a coincidence, but a necessity. You don’t have parents in the traditional sense. You were raised by the Heavenly Dao, and different people have different names for you. Those with vested interests call you a jinx, the suffering people call you a savior, and I call you a punisher.”
“Everything in this world is prone to problems and mistakes, even the Heavenly Dao.”
“However, when the Heavenly Dao makes a mistake, it can’t fix it on its own, so it will send someone like you to investigate it in detail. The investigation is merely your upbringing and the environment around you. Depending on how you are raised, you will grow and develop different characteristics and personalities.”
“In other words, in a good environment, you will turn out good, and in a bad environment, the converse is also true.”
“If you grow up in a bad environment, you will use your strength to punish everyone around you. That’s why to most, you are known as a jinx, because you destroy the evil ways they hold dear; the wealth they have plundered, the souls they have slain, and the territory they have conquered.”
“After all, good environments in this world are few and far between.”
“Of course, to an objective observer, you’re a punisher. You are the means by which the Heavenly Dao punishes iniquity.”
“This is why you were not raised by the living, but by the dead. The grudges and disputes of the living are too complicated. After people die, they become selfless and righteous.”
“As for Yuchi, you may call him your master, but he’s actually your guardian. His role is to protect you until you grow up and become strong enough.”
There was no need to hide this from Hanjiang, as she would learn about it sooner or later. In any case, these were just titles people gave to her.
Yue Hanjiang constantly said, “Oh,” as she continued munching on the big red fruit during Cofuran’s explanation.
Then…
“I’m actually this strong? I had no idea. I thought I was a wild child that Master picked up somewhere. I thought I was a child of the ocean, a mermaid, you know? And that Master fished me up.”
Cofuran looked at her helplessly. It was fine. Whether she understood it or not did not matter. As long as she knew that she was special.
In any case, under Yuchi’s protection and guidance, she was growing up quite well. At the very least, it did not seem like she would become a world-destroying existence.
Yue Hanjiang suddenly turned to Yuchi and said, “Master, do you know what a mermaid is? Have you ever seen a mermaid?”
Yuchi was stunned for a moment as he thought about it. He then said, “Sirens should be considered mermaids, right?”
Yue Hanjiang’s eyes lit up, “Sirens! In that case, master, when you have time in the future, can you bring me there to take a look?”
“Uh, I’ve already sent that siren to the underworld. Still, it exists as an evil spirit in my sea of consciousness. Do you want to go in and take a look? ”
Yue Hanjiang smiled and said, “Why not?”
The siren was one of the three kings under Medusa.
At this point, Yuchi suddenly said to Yue Hanjiang and Cofuran, “Let me introduce you to someone. Her name is Medusa.”
