59. Life Is Never Easy For Anyone

Coming out of his father Ning Fengzhi's residence, Xie Yue headed to meet his sister.

Now that he had already laid out the plan for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, what he has to do now is prepare for some unexpected situations.

Xie Yue was sure about Ning Fengzhi's ability to complete the task of inviting Dugu Bo for dinner. But Xie Yue was a little worried about Hu Liena's attitude.

What if this girl creates a scene when she learns about his engagement that day?

So informing her beforehand and testing her attitude is very important to Xie Yue. He can't let her have an emotional outburst at the event. If she were to overreact in front of others and they notice something amiss about her feelings towards him, it will be hard to handle.

'Not that she will make a scene... I am sure she understands her situation and position very well. I raised her only to serve me well, not to be a burden to me.'

Xie Yue believes that his upbringing won't go to waste.

While Hu Liena loves him and is obsessed with him, she also understands her position very well.

'Though she will understand, informing her beforehand is a must....'

'And by chance, if she were to throw a tantrum towards me... Hehe. I know how to shut her mouth very well,' Xie Yue thought as he went to have a conversation with Hu Liena.

He knows how to handle her very well. He just has to stuff something in her mouth to shut her up. As for what to stuff? Haha~

As expected.

When Xie Yue told her about his possible engagement, Hu Liena's emotions started to fluctuate greatly.

As a woman in love, she felt pain hearing Xie Yue say that he is going to have an engagement with another woman.

Although she was very obedient and never disappointed Xie Yue's upbringing until now, she too has her own feelings. For a woman, this matter is very sensitive.

So, tears started to overflow from her beautiful face uncontrollably. But even so, she didn't throw a tantrum at Xie Yue. She was an intelligent girl; she knows sooner or later this day will come.

While she loved Xie Yue wholeheartedly, she also knows his personality; he too loves her, but it wasn't possible to restrict him only for her. Although she was his lovely sister, other than this identity, she was also his carnal-pet. Nothing more, nothing less.

Didn't she also like it when her brother treated her like a toy for his pleasure, without caring about her feelings?

So, she soon accepted this fact and nodded at him, smilingly, but not without a tear mist in her eyes; "Mmm~ I got it, brother~"

Seeing her actions and responses, Xie Yue was also very satisfied. So he promised to reward her tonight with lot of his dragon milk.

-----

Who wants to have a woman as a burden? Even if others wanted, Xie Yue doesn't want.

Although he will tolerate and accept burdens to a specific level if they had great value to him, that also has its limit.

If Hu Liena had shown any rebellious thoughts today, Xie Yue would surely sentence her to death or teach her an unforgettable lesson.

Dugu Yan's matter is very important to Xie Yue. Currently, Dugu Yan's value outweighs the benefits Hu Liena can bring to him. Martial Soul Fusion skill is indeed a divine skill, but its value to Xie Yue is still lower than Immortal Grass.

If Hu Liena showed any signs of foiling his engagement plan, he would have no other choice but to throw her away; her beauty and benefit wouldn't matter to him at that time.

Leaving the residence of his sister, Xie Yue took slow strides as he enjoyed the evening breeze.

He was currently in a very good mood. "It seems I will soon get my hands on those Immortal Grasses," Xie Yue muttered in a low voice, full of joy.

Although Xie Yue traveled to this world and wished to achieve immortality, living in this world was never easy for him.

There is a fundamental reason for this.

People born in this world won't feel that their world is very scary or different. To them, it will feel the same as how people of Earth feel towards their home planet; it will feel as if everything is familiar to them.

But it is not the case with Xie Yue. He knows the difference between Earth and Douluo Planet. He, who lived in a relatively peaceful world like Earth in his first life, felt suffocated when he first learned that he really had traveled to this world as he wished.

It's not like Xie Yue had never killed in his first life or didn't face any dangerous situations. He had faced almost everything the Earth had to offer for him in his short 60 years of life. But that Earth's danger level and Douluo's danger level are vastly different.

On Earth, although there are hot weapons for protection, that doesn't matter when it comes to killing people. Even if it was a big country's president, he can be killed with a single person's strength. But here in Douluo Dalu, without strength one can never kill another person if the latter has a higher soul power level than the former. That is even more so for ordinary people without soul power.

Even though Xie Yue has 60 years of life experience and had even faced relatively dangerous situations compared to fellow people on Earth when he lived there, it was not easy for him to live in this world currently without dying when he doesn't have the strength.

If anyone said in front of Xie Yue that they can indeed become a god in Douluo World if they had known about the plot, without a doubt, Xie Yue would spit saliva on their face and curse loudly.

Why don't you shit-head come and try living here?

You say, I was 60 years old in my past life so I was able to achieve what I have today?

Oh... if that's the case, will your own grandmother or grandfather be able to become stronger here just because they know the plot?

Nah... dreaming and reality are vastly different. They will die without knowing how they died.

Only Xie Yue knows how hard it was living in this world.

Didn't he also kill many innocent families in this world? What is the story about them?

They lived their peaceful lives without bothering anyone. But an unreasonable boy named Xie Yue came and killed them just to keep his secret. They died without rhyme or reason. Did they ask for this danger to befall them? Or do they deserve this ill-fated ending?

Similar to what happened to them, the same can happen to Xie Yue. What could he have done if some unreasonable evil soul master came to massacre the orphanage he lived in when he was a child? There is no shortage of unreasonable and evil people in this world.

Xie Yue's life may seem relatively peaceful until now. But only he knew how hard it was for him to survive and achieve what he has today; it was not easy.

He has to plan and act carefully every time. Starting from the orphanage, adopted by Bai Wu, moving to Heaven Dou City, becoming family with Ning Fengzhi, and so on... He had been careful in his every step.

At some point in time, he even had to put a needle in his mouth just so he wouldn't talk about anything important in his sleep-dreaming.

Even after getting the so-called powerful backer, Xie Yue never let down his guard. Consuming Whale Glue secretly alone had been putting so much pressure on Xie Yue's mind, much less other things.

What will happen if others noticed his past actions? Huh, forget it, don't think about it. Killing so much people can't be justified....

In his early years in this world, when Xie Yue lived in fear of the unknown, he even thought about what would happen if he didn't have his past life memories.

He was sure he would have enjoyed his life relatively peacefully in that case. After all, without knowing the danger of this world, every child will spend their life in peace.

As the saying goes: ignorance is bliss
