Chapter 137: This Is What It Means to Be the Chosen One, You Wouldn't Understand
Chapter 137: This Is What It Means to Be the Chosen One, You Wouldn't Understand
The Divinity on the panel was increasing by several points per second. Xue Jing spoke up, "What about the corruption rate?"
Xue Wan closed his eyes to sense it, then mused, "Although there's no specific detection, it does seem to have decreased."
"I feel like the oppressive weight binding my consciousness has lessened..."
"My corruption rate used to fluctuate between 15% and 21%. Now, it should be... below 10% and still decreasing."
Xue Wan exclaimed delightedly, "Ajing, how did you do it?"
Xue Jing looked at the Divinity on the panel, which had already reached three hundred and was still rising, and smiled. "This is the ability granted to me by the Lord of Countless Faces. It allows me to draw out a 'certain something' from you and your colleagues through your Stigmata, and that something seems to be the cause of your corruption."
Xue Wan marveled, "That's amazing..."
She lifted her hand slightly, and cracks appeared on the floor. Several green sprouts forcefully pushed through the cracks.
"It didn't even affect my abilities; it just purely reduced the corruption rate."
"Ajing, with this ability of yours, all the recipients will want to acknowledge you as their foster father!"
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow. "No thanks... Don't spread the word about this. I don't want to be captured and used as a human purification machine."
Xue Wan nodded, her expression serious. "Don't worry, I understand."
Her younger brother's ability was too significant. If it were exposed, it would drive all the Heretical God religions into a frenzy.
She didn't know what kind of huge waves it would stir up, but being at the center of such a storm, Xue Jing's fate would be out of his control, and he would be at the mercy of others.
Her younger brother was the most important person to her, even more important than her life. Xue Wan would never do anything that might harm Xue Jing.
She would never reveal this secret to anyone.
The rate of increase in Divinity on the panel gradually slowed and eventually stopped altogether.
[Divinity Absorption Complete]
Xue Jing looked at the Divinity value on the panel, which had reached 696, and happily patted Xue Wan's belly.
"Pa pa—"
"What are you doing? That tickles." Xue Wan shuddered, her face showing displeasure as she twisted her body to dodge his hand.
With her slender waist accentuated by her plump, perky buttocks, she exuded a breathtaking, sensual allure.
Unfortunately, the person and cat in the room were both uninterested, making her coquettish behavior akin to casting pearls before swine.
"It's done. Put your clothes back on," Xue Jing said casually.
Xue Wan pouted. "The way you put it sounds a bit strange..."
She sensed her spiritual condition and exclaimed happily, "I think my corruption rate has dropped below 5%! Amazing, Ajing!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Xue Wan hugged Xue Jing and gave him a sloppy kiss.
Xue Jing pushed her away, making a face. "Let me show you something even more amazing."
He took out the dark red seed from his pocket and tossed it casually.
More than a dozen green stems sprouted from the seed, growing rapidly as if reaching for the wind, soon transforming into a giant 'octopus' with thick tentacles writhing in the room.
Xue Wan was astonished once again.
Ever since she had met her younger brother at the hotel, she felt like she had been in a constant state of surprise.
"What's going on here?"
Xue Jing smiled and explained, "The Lord of Countless Faces is a god with countless faces and countless appearances. Its true form is 'Faceless,' and because it has no face, it can wear countless faces... After I extracted that 'certain something' from you and your colleagues through your Stigmata, that something became one of the 'Countless Faces' and thus became mine to wear as I please.
"Simply put, I've gained the ability to control plants, just like you."
Xue Wan was astounded. "That's just too unfair!"
Xue Jing replied, "That's what being the chosen one is like. You're not the chosen one, so you wouldn't understand."
Xue Wan: "..."
"Put it back where you found it!" Xue Wan pinched Xue Jing's cheeks and glared at him.
"Let go, or I'll poke you with my tentacles." Xue Jing said calmly.
Xue Wan huffed and let go of his cheeks, then fell silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Ajing, sister will definitely find a way to solve the 'divine disappearance' phenomenon among the chosen ones."
She hugged Xue Jing, burying her face in his chest.
"So... promise me, sister. Before I find a solution, please don't disappear, okay?"
A muffled, hoarse voice came from within the embrace, trembling slightly.
Xue Jing remained silent for a while, then placed his hands on Xue Wan's shoulders and gently reassured her, "Rest assured... I absolutely won't disappear. Trust me."
...
The siblings talked for a long time in the hotel room until evening fell. After having dinner with Xue Jing, Xue Wan finally left.
She didn't take the cat with her, saying she had something to do and it would be inconvenient to bring the cat along. She promised to come back for Xiaofenwan tomorrow.
[Acting Experience +366]
[Acting Level increased to Lv3 (133/800)]
Xue Jing sighed softly as he looked at the notification on the panel.
"You never told me you became a recipient."
The cat sat on the sofa, its emerald-green slit pupils narrowing slightly.
"It just happened a few days ago. I haven't had the chance to tell you because you've been with my sister, Teacher Wan."
Xue Jing's face was filled with sincerity.
At Acting Level 3, his performance was flawless.
"Oh..." The cat gave him a half-believing look.
"Then I guess that's that... Wherever you go, you always seem to get into trouble. One moment you become a recipient, and the next, you're being sought out by other recipients."
The cat's face took on a human-like thoughtful expression. "Why don't we go find a temple to pray first?"
Xue Jing: "..."
He cleared his throat and said, "I'm now the chosen one of the Lord of Countless Faces. It's an official position. Do you think it's appropriate to pray to other gods?"
The cat lay on the sofa, its four paws in the air, and sighed, "The universe is bound by bureaucracy..."
A soft, platinum light shone, and a black-haired, cat-eared girl appeared on the sofa.
She picked up a thin shirt from the side and put it on, her curvaceous figure barely concealed.
Her slender, enchanting phoenix eyes turned towards Xue Jing as she spoke with crimson lips, "...What do you plan to do about that 'divine disappearance' phenomenon your sister mentioned?"
Xue Jing smiled and said, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
He sat down in front of Ning Fenwan and stroked her head gently. "Don't worry, I won't suddenly disappear. There's no need to be afraid."
"Who's afraid—"
Ning Fenwan started to refute, but her voice trembled halfway through, and her ruby lips quivered, unable to continue.
Her elongated phoenix eyes shimmered with emotion, and her eyes began to well up with tears.
Xue Jing was starting to break into a cold sweat.
This situation was getting out of hand...
Was it too late to come up with another excuse?
"Don't worry, really. Although I can't give you a reason, I feel that I'm different from the other chosen ones."
Xue Jing thought for a moment before speaking.
A smile played at the corners of his eyes.
"I'm more special."
