Chapter 39: [Deceiving the Heavenly Fate!]

After Lu Sisi entered the room, she felt somewhat awkward, standing there looking at a loss, and turned to glance at Chen Yan: "You, is this place your home?"

"No, this place was rented specifically for you; I got the keys less than twenty minutes ago."

Rented for me?

Lu Sisi was a bit stunned.

Chen Yan waved his hand and pointed at the bed: "Sit down and talk."

"Ah?"

Lu Sisi swallowed hard.

She felt a bit embarrassed to sit.

A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a dark room... you want me to sit on the bed?

Seeing Lu Sisi's expression, Chen Yan understood; he stepped back one pace and sat in the only chair in the room.

"Don't think wild thoughts; there is a proper matter at hand."

Chen Yan paused for a moment: "I have found a method to solve the luck problem on your person, but it requires some time to cast the spell. This set of spells is quite complex; it needs to be cast daily, then performed continuously for several days.

That is why I rented this place."

Hearing this, Lu Sisi nodded in a daze: "Cast the spell?"

Chen Yan nodded: "That's right, cast the spell."

Great Benefactor Chen did not lie to deceive her; renting this house was indeed for this reason.

As for why he did not take Lu Sisi back to his own home...

Isn't that nonsense? Would you bring a walking 【Final Destination】 into your own home?

And going to a hotel was also improper.

Taking a Miss to a hotel to open a room? And opening it for several days in a row?

If someone saw them, it would be hard to explain and easy to slander! Lu Sisi is, after all, a Miss.

·

"Starting today, you come here once a day, and I will cast the spell for you here. It might be one or two days, or three to five days; my estimate is that in the worst case, it will not exceed seven days. The specific time depends on how effective the spell is."

"Hmm..." Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yan quietly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Chen Yan squinted and smiled: "You used the talisman I gave you, right? Was the effect okay?"

That was more than okay!

Light sparkled in the young girl's eyes.

She had not had bad luck for a whole day and night!

Today, on the exam, she even encountered questions she had studied!

And...

Recalling every time she burned the talisman, the moment it touched the flame, it would whoosh and burn out instantly.

It looked very magical.

At this moment, Lu Sisi already believed Chen Yan by eighty or ninety percent.

"Casting once a day requires two hours.

After a few days, when everything is finished, your luck should improve."

Chen Yan spoke with a serious expression, then pointed at the bed: "Now, sit down!"

"... Oh."

Lu Sisi obediently sat down, but she was still a bit nervous; her legs were pressed together, and her hands were placed properly on her knees.

"Then lie down."

"Hmm... Ah?" Lu Sisi shivered and stood up again.

Chen Yan sighed and used a gentle tone as much as possible: "I am not a bad person, nor will I do evil to you.

I am a law-abiding citizen. Moreover, when you arrived, you met people outside; someone saw you and me together in this room.

If I really did something to you, you could report to the authorities, and there would be witnesses."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he pointed at the bed: "Lie down!"

When Lu Sisi lay down, her whole body was stiff as iron, and her body was still trembling.

Chen Yan glanced at her: "Close your eyes, relax your whole body, and do not think any thoughts."

"But, what does 'do not think any thoughts' mean?"

"It means emptying your mind."

Lu Sisi said in a aggrieved tone: "I, I can't do it..."

Chen Yan was helpless: "Then count sheep in your heart; you know how to count sheep, right?"

"Yes."

"Then like this, relax your body...

Later, if I do not let you speak, you absolutely must not speak!

If I do not let you open your eyes, you absolutely must not open your eyes!

If I do not call you to get up, you cannot get up, and absolutely do not move around!

No matter what you hear or feel, you must absolutely achieve: do not open your eyes, do not speak, do not move!"

Do not open your eyes, do not speak, do not move...

Lu Sisi pressed her lips together tightly.

"Rest assured, I will not touch you once the whole time; I absolutely will not touch your body."

This sentence made Lu Sisi relax her heart slightly.

Chen Yan took out the bag he had brought, and from it removed brush, ink, talisman paper, cinnabar...

He laid them out on the table, held the brush, and channeled his Yuan Qi to the brush tip...

The brush moved like a swimming dragon; with swift swish-swish-swish strokes, he drew seven or eight talismans in one breath.

"Begin!"

Chen Yan suddenly widened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them!

·

A few minutes later...

It failed.

·

"Didn't I tell you not to open your eyes and not to speak?"

Chen Yan looked at Lu Sisi helplessly.

One talisman he had just placed to set up the formation was disrupted because Lu Sisi couldn't help but open her eyes once; the talisman burned itself away...

The little girl, aggrieved and tearful, said, "I, I couldn't help it..."

Just now, she had heard Chen Yan pacing back and forth by her bed, then doing something unknown. Lu Sisi suddenly heard a buzzing sound in her ears.

She instinctively blinked her eyelids and let out a snort through her nose.

Chen Yan thought for a moment, then sighed: "Alright, I won't blame you. But this won't work."

He paced back and forth in the room twice, then stopped, looking at Lu Sisi with bright, intent eyes:

"Do you trust me?"

"... Mm." Though the little girl was somewhat afraid, she nodded firmly.

·

A few minutes later...

Lu Sisi obediently lay on the bed.

Her eyes were covered with gauze and sealed with tape.

Two pieces of gauze were stuffed into her mouth, and her mouth was also taped shut.

This way, she couldn't open her eyes even if she wanted to, and couldn't make a sound even if she wanted to call out.

Looking at his own handiwork, Chen Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Good heavens...

If a police officer were to burst in right now, even with a mouth full of explanations, he wouldn't be able to make himself clear.

Putting aside his scattered thoughts, Chen Yan gave Lu Sisi further instructions once more, then reactivated the formation!

·

He stood by the bed, holding a talisman between his fingers; with a flick of his wrist and the infusion of Yuan Qi, the talisman automatically ignited, turning into a wisp of green smoke.

Chen Yan quickly chanted the incantation; the green smoke shot forward with a "whoosh" and slipped into Lu Sisi's nostrils.

"Hearing! Sealed!"

"Sight! Sealed!"

"Taste! Sealed!"

"Speech! Sealed!"

"Touch! Sealed!"

Chen Yan chanted the incantation rapidly, flicking out talisman after talisman from his hand, each burning up completely in an instant!

As the five talismans turned into green smoke, a bead of sweat appeared on Chen Yan's forehead.

Just these five talismans had consumed half of his Yuan Qi!

In his heart, he was secretly grateful that, thanks to the continuous extraordinary encounters he'd had these past few days, his Yuan Qi cultivation had surged greatly.

If this had happened just a few days ago, even if he wanted to help Lu Sisi, he would have been unable to cast a spell of this level.

·

Living beings possess five senses.

The mouth can speak, the nose can smell, the ears can hear, the eyes can see, the tongue can taste.

These are the five senses of a human.

The so-called fate, as the name implies, applies whether you are destined to be an Emperor or a beggar.

First, you must be a life, a living being!

All fates must be built upon a life.

Whether it be the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, spiritual energy, good fortune, or bad luck...

All will pursue living beings!

A lifeless stone possesses no fate whatsoever.

And after the five senses are stripped away...

All qi, spiritual power, and Yuan Qi between Heaven and Earth will gradually cease to pursue that existence...

Because without the five senses, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, it is no longer considered a complete living being.

Of course... it is not enough yet.

There is one final step!

·

Chen Yan took a deep breath and slowly picked up the last talisman from the table.

This talisman was the one that had consumed the most Yuan Qi among all the talismans he had drawn today; its runes twisted and turned like ghostly scribbles, and its pattern was the most intricate of all.

Holding the talisman between his fingertips, Chen Yan slowly chanted the incantation, and beneath a flicker of flame at his fingertip, the talisman burned with excruciating slowness.

Chen Yan held the burning talisman as if bearing a thousand-jin burden; his arm trembled uncontrollably, sweat streamed down his forehead, and his face paled by a third.

"Spirit Sense! Seal!"

·

Spirit Sense is a sense unique to humans.

It is the most crucial reason humans rise above all other living beings.

Humans think, feel, imagine…

It is what the common folk call the sixth sense!

·

As the talisman burned to ash, wisps of blue smoke drifted lazily around Lu Sisi's body and sank into her flesh…

Lu Sisi lay there, and suddenly her body went slack.

To the naked eye, the girl still looked rosy-cheeked, but when Chen Yan used his Heavenly Eye to observe her aura… it was vastly different!

Having temporarily stripped and sealed her six senses… Lu Sisi now resembled an inanimate object.

Utterly lifeless!

After sealing her six senses, under the Dao's domain, she had become invisible.

For she was no longer a living being, no longer subject to the celestial Qi or any fortune.

She was a corpse without six senses.

Like a stone.

Fortune does not cling to lifeless corpses.

·

This was the method Chen Yan devised to help Lu Sisi.

Seal the six senses!

Feign death to evade fate!

As the saying goes: when a man dies, his debts are cleared.

Whether you are Emperor or beggar, once dead, you are merely a corpse.

What rots, rots; what turns to ash, turns to ash.

All fortune—good or ill—abandons you.

·

After burning his final talisman, Chen Yan's legs gave out; he staggered two steps backward and collapsed heavily into a chair.

Opening his Heavenly Eye, he saw that the black aura above Lu Sisi's sleeping form had indeed changed!

The black aura, once thick and ceaseless above her head, suddenly lost its center and its pull.

It began to unravel strand by strand…

Without six senses, a living being is no longer alive, no longer a soul.

If the soul is gone, how can there be a Seven Extremes Destiny?

Without this vile Seven Extremes Destiny, the misfortune it brought became water without roots—slowly dissipating…

Yet, in the room, Lu Sisi had feigned death… while Chen Yan remained a living being!

The rootless black misfortune aura, as if drawn by some unseen force, slowly surged toward Chen Yan.

Chen Yan gritted his teeth, summoning his last ounce of strength, and pulled another talisman from his robe.

Then he drew a silver needle and jabbed it hard into his fingertip, squeezing a drop of blood onto the talisman before slapping it backward onto his own forehead!

Thud!

A flash of Jin Guang radiated from Chen Yan's entire body.

The black aura in the room recoiled as if repulsed, veering away and no longer gathering toward him.
