I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 595 - 187: Trust

When Bai Peng heard the refusal, he was dumbfounded, "Could it be that the ancestor offered very high terms?"Li Xin shook his head, "Not at all."

"What?" Bai Peng was stunned, "Why, why not take it when it’s free!"

Li Xin laughed and shook his head, "No reward without effort."

In this world, there’s no such thing as love without reason. This old man came offering such a big gift right away, it was terrifying. He wasn’t some sort of universally adored treasure. Although using Bai Peng’s name, honestly, he couldn’t trust it at all, and now he was treading a particularly hidden path where each step required specific conditions. Using a Magic Potion might not necessarily be a good thing.

Along the way, Bai Peng still felt very regretful for Li Xin, but he didn’t persuade him much.

In Bai Long’s courtyard, the once bright flowers began turning into eerie gray and black colors. Inside the room, Bai Long looked at the water before him, this youngster was really wary. Even after using the meaning of Avogadro to break the other’s guard, he still didn’t touch anything from beginning to end, even lightly refusing the Divine Soul Pill.

Bai Long coughed again, his skin started to crack, his body trembling constantly, the coughing becoming more severe, his body twisting, bones piercing through his skin, low howls emanating from within the room, although the sound was sealed by a barrier.

He didn’t have much time left. He thought he got a great bargain but ended up being badly tricked. His wear and tear intensified, the worst part being that he didn’t even know where the problem lay or who wronged him, having gone through the entire process carefully and finding nothing, how hateful.

Sun Circus.

Another spectacular performance ended with throwing at the clown. Backstage, the staff hurried around, and Fanny brought Kathy, Lin Fei, and Xueyin to the backstage, Xueyin wanted to see the clown, this little wish Kathy naturally wanted to fulfill.

Clown Tommy was busy wiping off the rotten eggs and paint on his body. People threw them with enthusiasm, which also brought in a good income. These items weren’t allowed outside but needed to be bought. Upon seeing the boss bring guests, the clown immediately wore an exaggerated smile.

It’s common for big bosses outside to want a closer look after not throwing enough.

"Tommy, these three ladies came to see you." Fanny’s sultry voice resonated.

"Three elegant ladies, though you are all beautiful, I still don’t fancy you." Tommy shrugged while placing his hands on his hips and raising his head exaggeratedly, saying arrogantly with his nose twitching.

Kathy and Lin Fei grinned, and Xueyin stepped forward, "Mr. Clown, this is a gift for you, thank you for bringing joy to everyone, you’ve worked hard."

Saying this, she brought out a small bouquet of daisies from behind her and handed them to the clown.

The clown had almost fixed his head tilt waiting for laughter and attacks when he suddenly froze, looking incredulously at the little angel-like Lin Xueyin, not knowing what to say for a moment, only instinctively accepting the flowers.

Xueyin clenched her fist with a smile, "Good luck, Mr. Clown, I’ll come to see your performance every weekend when I have time."

Clown Tommy stared blankly at Xueyin.

Xueyin smiled, waved goodbye, and left with Kathy and Lin Fei, simply fulfilling a small wish.

Others disliked the clown, saying he was flashy and stupid, but she liked him a lot, as the clown responsibly made people laugh without mocking others, he just brought pure joy.

***

In the evening, Li Xin prepared dinner, Lin Fei and Kathy returned with Xueyin after watching a fantastic circus, and Xueyin had fulfilled her wish of giving flowers to the clown, her boredom from studying had vanished. Actually, it wasn’t boring, she was gradually starting to like the knowledge of the Celestial Principle School, different from usual knowledge, the Celestial Principle School aimed to make a person, a person, independent, free-thinking, acting, and progressing.

This was what she liked.

As soon as the three beauties saw the feast on the table, their fatigue disappeared in an instant, having a fun day shopping and watching the circus, and then coming back home to a hot dinner, it was truly happiness.

Good wine and food, laughter echoed continuously from 125 Lane 16 Jinxiu Street, as Xueyin vividly described the circus performance, the cute clown, and her long-time wish to present flowers.

After dinner, Lin Fei and Xueyin, mother and daughter, chatted while tidying up, Lin Fei also cared about Xueyin’s situation at the Celestial Academy.

Kathy knew Li Xin went to meet the Bai Family’s Great Alchemist today and definitely had something to say.

The two came to the balcony, drinking hot tea, the night was a bit cold, Li Xin tightened his collar, but Kathy didn’t care at all.

"Becoming an angel is nice, it saves on clothes," Li Xin joked.

Once you advance to become an angel, your body undergoes essential reinforcement, even if you don’t display a mythical form, you can overcome most environments.

"When humans lose the weakness of their bodies, will they gradually drift away from human thinking?" Kathy suddenly asked.

Li Xin thought for a while, drank a bit of hot tea, and felt a bit warmer, "Yes, humans are humans because they are a collection of strengths and weaknesses, pain and vulnerability are the drivers of progress."

Kathy smiled, "Your views are always unique. By the way, what did the Bai Family want with you?"

Li Xin recounted his experience at the Bai Family today.

"He’s the Great Alchemist who helped heal Tang Gao," Li Xin said, "Logically, he should have gained considerable Wish Power from this treatment, but I don’t think he was very happy."

"No, come to think of it, he probably didn’t get what he wanted after all."

"Everyone seeks to become an angel; it represents truly stepping into another realm. Initially, it’s the happiest, retaining human qualities while gaining great power. But over time, they feel increasingly different from those around them, wanting to blend in but unable to. Yet, this mighty power conceals these contradictions. But entering the late stage of being an angel and failing to progress is where the pain lies," Kathy said. "The Bai Family’s Great Alchemist has been silent for many years. This time, drawn out by Tang Gao, he wanted much more, this might be his last chance, failing to progress to a Great Angel leaves him facing torturous agony till life’s end, wear and tear are the curse and shackle of power, and none can escape."

Li Xin looked at Kathy, "Was it you?"

"What are you asking about?" Kathy suddenly looked at Li Xin and smiled.

"Tang Gao."

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

"When we talked about finding an Alchemist for Tang Gao, you asked me how to achieve the greatest attention with the minimal cost for the Great Alchemist to notice, and I told a story," Li Xin said, referring to a story from his past life, where a wealthy heir toyed with a sick mother and daughter, but it was a plan to draw public attention to get donations to heal the child.

"Then why didn’t you ask me throughout the whole process?" Kathy asked. Others may not notice, but Li Xin must have suspected long ago.

"Because it’s you," Li Xin smiled, he had some suspicion but knew healing Tang Gao might not only involve finding an Alchemist, spending some money and materials, the hidden path might have other elements, he just needed to cooperate, Kathy was also someone in this world he could entrust his life to.

Living without someone you can trust is truly sad.

"With that mouth of yours, not using it to sweet-talk young girls is such a waste," Kathy smiled. "It turns out I was just the executor, and you were the mastermind behind the scenes."
