People are cursing back, and the good impression is full

Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time in my life that I have been recognized by others, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Er felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

From the moment he was born, he had never been affirmed by anyone, not by his parents, brothers, or even his own clan. None of them had ever acknowledged or recognized him, as if his birth was a mistake. When he was a child, he even breathed cautiously, fearing that he would be punished by his father again for such a thing.

He once tried to use other methods to gain recognition from his parents or people around him. Although he looked like an unlearned idiot, he was actually very smart. He won the first place several times in elementary school. But when he came to his parents with the first place paper, all he got was a torn certificate.

His father told him: "You are such a loser! Don't show up in front of me again! These things are totally worthless!"

His mother told him: "I wish you had never been born from my belly. I would rather you had never been born. Please, die early. This is the only thing you can do for me!"

From then on, Shen Er knew that all his efforts were meaningless.

From the moment he was found to have no magical power, his life was destined to be unrecognized by anyone.

So, he began to give up on himself and started on the road of self-destruction. This made his father hate him even more. It was his birthday that day, but his father threw him into the Zen temple's spiritual nurturing ground.

There were some second and third level cursed spirits raised by the Zenyuan family, which were specifically used to punish some of the Zenyuan family's prisoners, or to help people practice their hunting skills, but basically no one chose the second option.

The moment he was thrown down, he knew that there would never be any light shining into his life.

This was the first birthday gift he received in his life. The person who gave him life gave him a gift called "death".

He was lying on the ground, not wanting to resist anything. For him, perhaps dying there was the best option.

But at the moment when the curse spirit's fingers pierced his cheek, Shen Er suddenly felt that if he died like this, it would be too much in line with the wishes of those people.

No, he had to live, he had to keep living, even if he had to live like a non-human, but he had to live, he had to disgust these bastards!

So the next day, when everyone arrived at the soul-raising land, all they saw were the corpses of cursed spirits and a boy whose entire body was covered in blood.

In his hand he tightly grasped a broken, inferior curse tool, which was the curse tool that gave the boy the ability to kill cursed spirits.

My thoughts seemed to return to that moment at this moment, but then, Zenyuan Qing's voice came again:

"I think your fighting skills are very good. Please teach me."

Chapter 12 Heaven and Curse

It's inexplicable. This kid has never seen me fighting, so why does he think my fighting skills are good?

Shen Er looked at the Zen temple in front of him and asked his doubts.

And this is how the other party responded.

"Because you look very strong, taller and stronger than anyone here in the Zenin family. Just by the way you stand, I can tell that your fighting skills must be ridiculously strong."

Listening to the little boy's thoughts that he didn't know how to describe, he just felt like laughing, but his nose felt sore unconsciously.

The aroma of tonight's meal wafted into his stomach. To be honest, it was the first time he had eaten a meal specially prepared for him. Although Chanyuan Qing had said that the dish was made for him, he had previously mentioned that he wanted to eat tofu and other things, so tofu also appeared in his dinner.

We didn't have any tofu at home, so did you buy it from Zenin Seiji? Or did you go to Zenin Naobi to buy it?

I don’t know how Chanyuan Qing got the tofu, but he got to eat tofu tonight, and that’s enough.

After facing the verbal attack from the young man in front of him, Jiner scratched his head, slightly turned half of his face away, pretending to be very impatient, and then agreed:

"Then you will be responsible for washing dishes, cooking, and various other household sanitation tasks as payment for teaching you fighting techniques. Oh, and regarding meals, you must select one dish every day."

Listening to what Shin'er said, Chanyuan Qing just smiled and nodded, then said:

"Then I'll ask you to take care of me in the following days, Mr. Shen'er. I'm a bit slow, and it will probably take me ten or eight years to learn it."

"Huh?! Don't you only have one month left before you go to technical high school?!"

"The dormitory conditions at the technical college are terrible. I heard from Mr. Zenin Naohito that you, Mr. Shiner, will be moving out of the Zenin family soon. Your house isn't far from the subway line, so I can take the subway to school. If I have any questions about accommodation, I can stay at your house."

"I never said I would take you in, little brat!"

"I'll pay the rent."

"Tsk, you little brat are such a nuisance. I'm going to bed! Leave me alone!"

After saying this, he yawned and walked upstairs.

When he walked to the door, Shen'er felt his nose a little sour. He yawned several times in a row, as if he wanted to relieve his emotions in this way.

Chanyuan Qing did not choose to say anything more at this time, or chase after him, because he knew that haste makes waste, and the initial goal he wanted to achieve had already been completed in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully gaining Chanyuan Shen'er's favorability!

Current Favorability: 27/100 (slightly favorable)

It is detected that Zenyuan Shen'er's favorability has reached 20%, unlocking a 10% ability bonus for the target character!

Current bonus: Heaven and Curse (Tyrant) 10%.

When the favorability reaches 40, a 30% bonus to Heaven and Curse Binding will be unlocked. Please continue to work hard to heal the scars and pain in Chanyuan Shen'er's heart."

Feeling his originally weak body gradually becoming lighter, and experiencing the wonderful feeling that the world around him seemed to slow down in an instant, Chanyuan Qing suddenly felt as if he had stepped into another world at this moment.

This feeling made Chanyuan Qing feel very wonderful, but he did not indulge in this joy too much. After sorting out his emotions, he looked at the messy living room in front of him, shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and started to clean up.

Although he was not a particularly clean person before traveling through time, Chanyuan Qing still felt that he should maintain the most basic hygiene.

The living room was littered with messy bread and instant noodle boxes, and it was filled with a greasy and unpleasant smell. Chanyuan Qing felt that he did not have the patience to live in such a place for a month.

It was impossible to conceal Chan Yuanqing's movements downstairs. He glanced at his bedroom and muttered:

"This annoying brat, he clearly came to my house without even saying hello, why is he now acting like I've let him down?"

After complaining angrily for a few words, Shen'er climbed out of bed. He looked around at the slightly messy house, sighed, and then began to clean up.

However, while he was packing, he inadvertently glanced at the trees outside the window.

The night wind swayed the branches slightly, and a few fallen leaves fell. Everything seemed so normal, but Shi Er could clearly feel that there was a breath that made him feel extremely uncomfortable swaying under the shade of the tree.

Although that thing was very careful to hide itself, Shi Er could still feel its breath, or rather, see its figure.

Unlike normal sorcerers who can see each other through the resonance of their own cursed power and the cursed spirit, there is not a trace of cursed power on Shen'er's body. Even if the surrounding environment changes and the cursed spirit deliberately releases cursed power to guide Shen'er to look at itself, Shen will not be able to see the other party accurately.

But Shen'er has his own system and ability to observe cursed spirits. To him, the whole world is made up of spaces superimposed on each other. The air in the eyes of normal people is within his touchable range. He can step on the air in the air or grab a piece of air as a fulcrum to adjust his body shape.

From this perspective, one can even accurately see the appearance of the cursed spirits by observing changes in the surrounding environment, or in other words, see some things more clearly than an ordinary sorcerer.

However, because he has no cursed energy, Shen'er does not have the ability to kill cursed spirits with his bare hands. But if he is given a most basic cursed tool, even if there is only a trace of cursed energy left, he can turn it into the best tool to kill cursed spirits.

Regarding the thing outside, Shen Er felt a kind of fear he had never felt before. It was a special feeling that surpassed all other cursed spirits, a feeling that could truly threaten his life!

But Shen'er also knew that the main target of that thing was most likely not himself. After all, he had been here for a long time, and that thing appeared here just after Chanyuan Qing moved in. So the answer was obvious at this moment. Was this thing here to monitor Chanyuan Qing?

At the same time, outside the not-so-quiet Zenin family, a young man named Geto Suguru was swallowing a strange ball that looked like vomit.

Chapter 13: Geto Summer Oil

What does a curse smell like?

Generally speaking, it is difficult to have a true answer to this question, because no one in this world would choose to swallow something as weird as a cursed spirit.

But Geto Suguru was able to answer this question very clearly.

Like a rag soaked in vomit...

Every swallowing is a double torture from the mind to the body.

The blue cursed spirit ball flickered with a hazy light in the night, looking like a crystal clear crystal, but its interior was actually a mass of cursed spirit flesh and blood squeezed together, which was the filthy emotions condensed to the extreme.

However, for Geto Suguru now, the negative emotions of swallowing such things will be overwhelmed by the joy of being able to protect others.

He told himself that every cursed spirit ball he swallowed could turn into a ray of light for the weak in despair.

Light always comes together in strands. He will use his own hands to weave together the hard-earned light to illuminate some places for the weak who are in the darkness.

He knew that what he could light up now was very little, but he also knew that one day he would be the sun in the hearts of countless people.

Just like that, he once again swallowed the curse ball that was shining with a dreamy light.

Bitterness, nausea, regurgitation, sourness, decay...all kinds of negative smells flooded into my heart at this moment. It was not a smell that could be resisted by pinching my nose. It felt like my heart was covered with a thick layer of lard, and it was sticky to death.

His stomach was cramping and he couldn't stop the urge to vomit. He could feel that the vomit was already in his throat. He was like a cat about to vomit, his body shaking. He placed his palms on the wall, and some wall dust fell off, leaving a few subtle white spots on his school uniform.

He couldn't vomit. His parents lived in a remote town, and it was not easy for them to send him here. His living expenses were limited. If he vomited at this time, he would starve. He had very little money, so little that it was only enough for one meal a day.

He grasped his throat tightly with his hands and forced the vomit down. This feeling was not pleasant, but he was used to it. Heroes often had to endure more suffering than ordinary people. This was something Geto Suguru had read in a foreign book a long time ago.

He still firmly believes in that statement.

But just when Geto Suguru thought it was just another ordinary day, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind.

"You look like you're in a lot of pain. Would you like to drink something? It'll make you feel better."

It was a voice that sounded about his own age. He turned around, but before he could see the other person's face, a can of cold Coke touched his cheek.

The summer heat, coupled with the inner struggle and pain when swallowing the cursed spirit ball, made Geto Suguru's face very red at the moment. The moment he was touched by the ice water, he subconsciously exclaimed, but the next moment, a very bright smile came into his eyes.

Perhaps it was a very bright smile. Zenyuan Qing felt that he was just smiling politely at that time.

But people's memories will choose to beautify a certain fragment, so he doesn't want to change that memory.

"Ice cola can effectively remove the unpleasant taste in your mouth. That thing just now must have tasted terrible, right?"

The moment he heard the other party's words, Xia Yujie's face first showed a look of astonishment, and he subconsciously muttered:

"Did you see everything just now?"

"Well, you turned that cursed spirit into a blue ball and swallowed it. But judging by your appearance, I guess it must have tasted terrible, right?"

Zenin Qing's caring words made Xia Yujie suppress the doubts that had already risen to his throat. He looked at Zenin Qing, took the Coke, but did not open it. He just smiled and said:

"As for the taste, it's not really delicious, but you don't need Coke to relieve it. The weather is very hot, and you only bought one can. It should be for yourself. Just drink it yourself. I'm not thirsty."

Zenin Qing just shook his head when he heard this. He looked at Geto Suguru, whose face was covered in sweat and whose bangs were stuck to his forehead, and said with a smile:

"That cursed spirit is very powerful. If you weren't here, I might have been killed by it. This is my thank you gift to you. Although I'm not a person of high status, the value of a can of Coke should still be worth it.

By the way, be careful recently and don't hang around here too much. There are some unrest here recently. There are creatures much stronger than the monster just now wandering around here. Don't let them catch you."

After saying that, Zenin Qing turned and left towards the other side of the alley. Looking at Zenin Qing's back, Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Coke in his hand, and then said to the disappearing figure:

"Thank you, thank you. Can we meet again?"

Hearing this, Zenin Qingna's mouth corners slightly raised as he turned his back to Geto Suguru, but he hid it well, so that the other party didn't hear anything unusual:

"I stop by here to buy groceries every Saturday, usually around five or six in the afternoon. If you're free, we can meet up later."

Listening to Zenin Qing's words, before Xia Yujie could finish the rest of his words, the figure at the end of the alley had disappeared.

If it weren't for the can of Coke in his hand that still had some coldness in it, Geto Suguru would even have suspected that everything that had just happened was an illusion caused by eating the Curse Spirit Ball.

He stared at the entrance of the alley where Chan Yuanqing left, stunned for a long time. When his palms were a little painful from the cold of the Coke can, he lowered his head, looked at the Coke can in his hand, and smiled.

A "crackling" sound was heard, and a light cola vapor instantly filled the air, a sweet smell with a slight stimulating taste.

The freshly opened ice cola even tasted a bit spicy. He drank a lot in one breath. The bitterness and stickiness seemed to turn into burps and dissipated in the hot afternoon.

"Next time we meet, you should introduce yourself first..."

Geto Xia Yu looked at the can of Coke in his hand that was still cold, and for some reason, waves of joy surged in his heart.

Why are you so happy?

Is it because I met someone who can see those monsters just like me?

Or is it because of the other person's words of concern for you?

Or maybe it’s the ice cola that you’ve been craving for a long time?

Geto Suguru didn't know the reasons, but he knew that he would be waiting for him here next Saturday.

Chapter 14 Life

Zenin Qing, who had said goodbye to Geto Suguru, was not idle at this moment. He looked at the time, then quickened his pace and walked towards Zenin's house.

The reason he was able to come out today was because he told Shen'er that there was not much food left at home.

He still remembered the hint of fear on Shen'er's face after hearing what he said.

But it seemed that the food had the upper hand in the end. Shen Er sighed and said to himself:

"Okay, I'll go with you, but remember, we should come back as soon as possible and not cause any other trouble.

It's 4:27 PM now, and the last bus is at 5:30. Excluding the basic commuting time, we have about 20 minutes to buy groceries. You write down what you want to buy, and then we'll go shopping separately when we get to the mall. I'll meet you at the alley entrance at 5:15. If you're late, you can just run back on your own."
