Chapter 1851

The determined little carp disregarded everything; even if you are my friend, it still had to treat you differently.

She was truly afraid; everything was related to Ao Hei. Looking at Ao Hei's current situation, her elder brother Ao Zhong had also died. Inside the Blackwater Dragon Palace, only she remained. Such an unlucky person—whoever touched her became unlucky.

Even if Chen Chuyang's fate is hard, he can't withstand it, ah. The little carp doesn't want to take risks, nor does she want Chen Chuyang to come to harm. Even if Chen Chuyang isn't afraid, what about the people around him? They're all extremely terrifying. Not everyone is Chen Chuyang, nor does everyone have his hardy fate.

Ao Hei stared seriously at the little carp, confirming that this woman wasn't joking but genuinely wanted her to stay away from Chen Chuyang. This was her sincere words, not a joke, nor aimed at herself; she simply didn't want herself and those around her to suffer another mishap—nothing more.

"Kid, are you truly not afraid of me?" Ao Hei's eyes turned calm, her expression solemn as she asked Chen Chuyang.

This human's thoughts are important; she needs to be clear on this, and also needs to confirm whether Chen Chuyang is sincere. No matter what plans or ideas Chen Chuyang has—whether he has taken a liking to her, or is seeking a deal with her elder brother Ao Zhong, or harbors other thoughts toward her—AO Hei isn't afraid, as long as Chen Chuyang doesn't worry about her bringing bad luck, she is indifferent.

"What's there to fear? Misfortune, disaster—those are just outsiders' rumors, or perhaps you haven't found the root of the problem. Everything has a cause; find the ailment and resolve it, and there won't be so much bad luck."

"Moreover, even if your body is some kind of cursed physique, I'm not afraid; in fact, I want to study this constitution of yours."

He would love that—what kind of constitution does a person plagued by extreme misfortune actually have?

He is very curious and also wants to know what Ao Hei's situation is like—whether it's as unlucky as the little carp said.

"Is that really true?" Ao Hei's eyes widened; hearing this for the first time, this human truly fears neither heaven nor earth, fears nothing at all. If so, why should she fear anything?

"Naturally it's true." Chen Chuyang smiled and said: "I never joke, nor would I joke about this sort of thing. That Heishanyang is already unlucky enough; after meeting me, I haven't seen it suffer any misfortune."

"And the little carp is the same; according to what you said, she used to be quite unlucky and rather foolish, but after staying by my side, she's improved in all respects and isn't so foolish anymore."

"I specialize in recruiting all sorts of unlucky losers and foolish people; I have no choice—I simply don't believe in evil."

He never believes in evil.

Nor will he believe in this bad luck; Chen Chuyang is like that. As for Ao Hei's constitution and situation, he needs to study her first to know.

"Kid, some things still need to be believed." The Heishanyang couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"I'm not unlucky; I ended up like this only because I offended someone I shouldn't have—not because I'm unlucky. This girl is foolish, and foolishness can still be redeemed; but she is indeed very unlucky—I've also heard of her misfortunes."

"Kid, this isn't something to joke about; you'd better think it through before acting."

The Heishanyang is also afraid; Ao Hei's situation is truly unlucky—just hearing what the little carp said is enough to make people wary. But this kid Chen Chuyang is different—he… doesn't believe in evil, isn't afraid of this, and is actually very interested in it.

This kid loves researching all kinds of special things, especially this physique; in Chen Chuyang's case, it's highly valued. The Heishanyang knows Chen Chuyang likes to research—back when he researched the Grand Duke Jupiter, he produced this embodiment of the Qinglong Daoist. This time, perhaps he can uncover something from Ao Hei.

The Heishanyang is both curious and afraid, and also somewhat worried.

It is truly afraid of following along and becoming unlucky, yet it also wants to know what Chen Chuyang can research.

"Yes, master, this time the Heishanyang is right—AO Hei is truly unlucky. If you really want to study, it's not too late to do so later." The little carp, for the first time, found the Heishanyang pleasing to the eye and thought he spoke well.

In matters of life and death, they were all very cautious.

Ao Hei continued to gaze at Chen Chuyang, not taking others' words to heart—whether the Heishanyang or the little carp, they merely represented themselves and could not influence this human kid; here, he was the true decision-maker.

Chen Chuyang nodded; they couldn't change that.

"And you—what do you say? Should I continue inviting you to follow me, or should I choose to give up?"

Ao Hei inwardly leaned toward giving up; she knew humans fear unknown dangers, especially someone like her—an unlucky loser—who is precisely what they despise most.

No one wants to bring along such an unlucky loser, nor does anyone wish to increase the difficulty of their own cultivation path. She had already formed an answer in her heart; all that remained was for Chen Chuyang to tell her herself. For this, she held no hope.

Chen Chuyang gave a hehe laugh: "Isn't that even more interesting?"

Ao Hei's eyes lit up; she couldn't help but stare at Chen Chuyang, having heard an answer she hadn't expected. She had been preparing to leave this place, yet this human actually said it was interesting?

Can such a thing be described as interesting?

"People like you are interesting; the unlucky, the attribute of misfortune—I'm very curious."

"Princess Ao Hei, would you be willing to follow me back?"

Chen Chuyang once again extended his hand to invite her; he truly thought highly of this woman, for she could become a major combat force in the future—such talent must not be wasted.

As for the Kunpeng Guardian, let him grow anxious, let him go mad—just don't let him find us.

Chen Chuyang has plenty of ways to deal with that. As for the Kunpeng Guardian… he has never encountered him, so Chen Chuyang doesn't know what kind of person he is, but he certainly isn't simple.

"Aren't you afraid of misfortune?"

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Does everyone around me end up unlucky?"

"Chen Chuyang, this princess asks once more: you…… are you sure?"

This is Ao Hei's most serious inquiry; she doesn't want Chen Chuyang to regret it later, nor does she want this man to agree impulsively in a heat of the moment.

"Do you understand that once you invite me, I will stick with you? Then, even if you try to drive me away, I won't leave."

"Either we share misfortune together, or you die and I live."

Ao Hei smiled as she looked at Chen Chuyang; this was her final question. Once confirmed, there would be no turning back if she later wanted to regret it.

Chen Chuyang extended his hand and said firmly: "Ao Hei, I am certain; you need not worry that I will abandon you—unless you yourself wish to leave."
