Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

Thinking of this, Xingliu couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

The famous quote came to mind: "All unfavorable situations in this world are caused by the incompetence of those involved."

Is Liao Zhong a good person?

The answer is yes.

He has always tried his best to help Chen Duo out of her predicament, hoping that she can live like a normal person.

However, because he could not solve the fundamental problem of the Gu-body Saint Child, all his efforts ultimately came to naught.

Chen Duo's ending was destined to be tragic; this is a fact that no one can change.

Even the powerful Old Celestial Master could not change Chen Duo's tragic fate.

Because saving lives is far more difficult than killing them.

But at that moment, a thought sprouted in Xingliu's mind: 'Since no one in this world understands this twisted flower, then I'll take it myself.'

Xingliu didn't care whether Chen Duo was in danger or not, because he was in more danger than Chen Duo.

Even if Chen Duo's Gu poison is enhanced, it can only kill the people of one city at most. If Xing Liu goes all out, the people of an entire planet will be wiped out.

Without further ado, he put Liu Wu Kui down and turned to leave.

This minor commotion finally caught the attention of the others in Biyou Village.

However, when they rushed to the scene, they only saw Xingliu's departing figure.

From Liu Wu Kui, they learned the purpose of Xing Liu's trip.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge uproar in Biyou Village.

Chapter 229 Giving Choices

Looking at Liu Wu Kui, who was unharmed, Fu Rong couldn't help but sigh, "That little girl is really lucky. I heard that ruthless man has never left a survivor."

Her words revealed a hint of relief and satisfaction.

Liu Wu Kui retorted expressionlessly, "Sister Fu Rong, don't you want me to be well? Are you disappointed that I'm alright?"

Her words made Fu Rong a little embarrassed, and she quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Seeing Fu Rong's flustered appearance, Liu Wu Kui suddenly chuckled, revealing a mischievous expression.

Qiu Rang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Alright, now is not the time to talk about this."

He looked around and continued:

"This killer coming to find Village Chief Ma is probably not a good thing. We must be prepared. I suggest we send a few people to support Village Chief Ma, what do you think?"

His proposal was subsequently approved by everyone present.

In the end, Zhao Guizhen, Harichagai, and Fu Rong were chosen to go and support Village Chief Ma, and they left Biyou Village with their own thoughts.

The rest of the people stayed in the village, ready to face any potential crisis.

.....

Upon learning this news, Xingliu, having never met Ma Hongxian and Chen Duo before, found it difficult to pinpoint their location using his perception abilities. Without hesitation, he dialed Xu Xiang's number.

Xu Xiang, the former head of the North China region who survived thanks to Xingliu's intervention, still retains some connections even though he is no longer in office.

Finding Chen Duo might be a bit difficult for him, but with his efforts, it wasn't too much of a problem.

Sure enough, not long after, a message about Chen Duo's current location was sent to Xing Liu's phone.

With accurate location information, Xingliu immediately used his teleportation ability to arrive at Chen Duo's location and quickly began to sense her presence.

Coincidentally, his appearance came at just the right time.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw Ma Hongxian and Chen Duo locked in a fierce battle.

The two fought fiercely, each exchange a contest of strength and speed.

However, as time went on, Chen Duo gradually showed signs of defeat, and she seemed unable to withstand Ma Hongxian's fierce attacks.

At this critical moment, Xingliu suddenly appeared between the two like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

He casually extended one hand, yet with incredible strength and speed, he blocked Ma Hongxian's decisive blow.

This move not only shocked Ma Hongxian, but also gave Chen Duo a moment to catch her breath.

The sudden appearance of the star stream shattered the balance of the battlefield.

Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared before him, Ma Hongxian couldn't help but wonder about his identity and strength.

Village Chief Ma, who usually only cared about his own stove, felt that Xingliu looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

A moment later, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and he blurted out, "You're the killing god beside Zhang Chulan!"

His wariness and vigilance towards Xingliu were evident in his words.

Xingliu did not immediately respond to Ma Hongxian's question. Instead, he lightly waved his sleeve, and the bomb around Chen Duo's neck disappeared into thin air and appeared in his hand.

With a piercing sound, the bomb was reduced to scrap metal in Xingliu's hands.

Chen Duo subconsciously touched her neck, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

She didn't understand what this stranger's intentions were, why he took the bomb from her neck, or why he was staring at her with that kind of gaze.

After dealing with all of this, Xingliu turned his gaze to Ma Hongxian and said in a calm tone, "Village Chief Ma, I have a request."

Ma Hongxian frowned, her mind filled with doubt, but she maintained basic politeness: "Please speak. If it's within my power, I will certainly do my best to help."

Xingliu smiled slightly and revealed his purpose: "I want to borrow the village chief's divine secrets for a hundred refinements."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongxian frowned even more deeply.

In his view, the Divine Craftsmanship was not something that could not be taught; it could even be passed on to those with the necessary aptitude.

But he and Xingliu had only just met and their relationship was still shallow, so how could he easily impart such an important secret technique?

Just as Ma Hongxian was about to politely decline, Xingliu offered him a condition he couldn't refuse:

"I can help you regain your memories, how about we do that in exchange?"

Ma Hongxian was stunned at first, then an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

His lost memories have always been a deep-seated problem for him, and the prospect of regaining them would be an immense temptation.

Even his purpose in establishing Biyou Village was to regain his memories; creating a new chapter was secondary.

He looked at Xingliu, trying to glean some clues from the young man's face, but Xingliu maintained his smile.

Ma Hongxian knew that the young man in front of her was no ordinary person. Since he dared to make such a condition, he must have a certain degree of confidence.

The internal struggle and weighing of options happened in an instant. Ma Hongxian took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:

"Can you really help me regain my memories?"

Xingliu nodded and said confidently, "I can."

Ma Hongxian remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

Then his eyes hardened: "Fine, I promise you. As long as you can help me regain my memories, I will offer you the Divine Craftsmanship with both hands."

Having said that, he prepared to tell Xingliu the cultivation method of the Divine Hundred Refinements, completely ignoring Chen Duo beside him.

However, just as Ma Hongxian was about to speak, Xingliu suddenly stopped him.

"No rush, let me take care of other things first."

As he spoke, he turned to Chen Duo, a hint of concern in his eyes.

Chen Duo was already on high alert, and when she saw Xing Liu turn towards her, she instinctively released her Gu poison in an attempt to protect herself and subdue the other two.

However, Xingliu saw right through her little tricks.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Xingliu sent a breeze that easily dispersed the poison Chen Duo had released.

Chen Duo blinked in disbelief; she had never seen such a bizarre scene before.

Her Gu poison has always been effective, how could it be dispersed by a gentle breeze?

So, refusing to believe it, she released the poison again, trying to verify whether it was all just an illusion.

However, the result remained the same; the poison was once again dispersed by the breeze.

Now, Chen Duo finally realized that someone was making moves in the shadows.

Xingliu's ambiguous smile made her look at him with suspicion.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "I wonder what you need?"

Xingliu smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, "I'm here to give you a choice."

Those few words were like a thunderclap in Chen Duo's ears, stirring up a storm in her heart.

She could hardly believe her ears, her voice trembling slightly: "What did you say?"

Chapter 230 Healing Chen Duo

Xingliu wasn't angry at Chen Duo's outburst; he maintained his smile and repeated his words:

"I'm here to give you a choice."

As he spoke, he gently patted the top of Chen Duo's head, ignoring her slight attempts to dodge, as if soothing a frightened little bird.

His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed a magical power to soothe the turmoil in one's heart.

"You can choose to come with me; I need you. Or you can choose to live freely from now on. As for the matter of the Gu-body Saint Child, I can handle that. So, what do you choose?"

Chen Duo was stunned. Xing Liu's words were like a ray of warm sunshine shining into her heart, which had been shrouded in gloom for a long time.

She never had a choice. She was adopted by the Medicine Immortal Society from a young age, became a Gu-body Saint Child, and finally became a temporary worker because of Liao Zhong's expectations.

Her fate seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand.

But now, Xingliu is telling her that she has a choice.

This sudden freedom left Chen Duo feeling somewhat bewildered, but also mixed with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.

Can she choose to break free from the constraints of the past and pursue the life she wants?

Xingliu waited quietly for Chen Duo's answer, knowing that this choice was of great significance to Chen Duo.

Under the watchful gaze of the stars, Chen Duo experienced a fierce internal struggle.
