Chapter 234: I Am Your Golden Finger!

Inside a hidden mountain cave, Li Fengyao bit down on one end of a cloth strip and pulled hard, binding her arm tightly to a tree branch.

Hooo...

Her arm was crippled, but the person who struck the blow had not been ruthless; as long as the fracture was aligned and immobilized, it would not affect her recovery.

To avoid being discovered by potential enemies, Li Fengyao did not light a fire, only picking some fruits that had been gnawed on by birds and beasts.

Swallowing the wild fruits she would never have bothered with before, Li Fengyao closed her eyes to regulate her breathing for a while, then slowly opened them:

"My natural talent should not be like this."

Although it had been some time since her cultivation went wrong, she still maintained the title of Holy Son, and the sect had never lowered the treatment she received.

Yet now, she had thoroughly and completely become a stray dog.

If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have collapsed under such a blow.

That Sect Master of the Spirit-Raising Sect, he also happens to be your father, right?

Li Fengyao:?

"I don't care who you are, nor do I care why you took away three years of my cultivation; I am asking you one question now."

Ren Yidao smiled as he spoke the cruelest answer:

【Mm, that's right! I am the culprit who caused you to fall into such a state!】

She struggled to mobilize the little Dharma Power she had left, gathered it into a single point, and charged toward her own dried-up dantian!

Lifting you up slightly, then smashing you down heavily, shattering you to pieces to my heart's content.

Who decreed that one can only roll the Dice once?

Li Fengyao narrowed her eyes, unable to guess what medicine was in the other party's Gourd.

(Sound of dice rolling)

Your father is also not missing or dead because of your fault.

That's right.

Her eyes widened first, then she slowly bit her lip and slowly lowered her head.

He said:

In just a few breaths, the Dharma Power she had painstakingly accumulated all vanished.

【The specific reason is a bit complicated, just assume I absorbed your three years of cultivation!】

【95】

【Oh ho, it worked!】

【100】

The next moment, a soft chuckle rang out abruptly in the ear of the desperate person:

Her bloodshot eyes scanned left and right rapidly, yet Li Fengyao did not find any figure in the surroundings.

Come be my daughter!

【Foster Father guarantees you will take fierce revenge! You will personally execute all those enemies!】

How on earth did Li Long give birth to such a daughter?

Li Fengyao did not pay attention to Ren Yidao's filming; her crying at this moment was not because of fragility.

Clearly, it was a character setting I personally crafted, already paired with such a classic opening and plot, yet there is still such an unexpected development.

【But before that, you have one more thing to do.】

Before Li Fengyao could continue to be happy, she suddenly felt the Qi in her dantian flowing away again.

"These various situations are truly too strange; the timing of the outbreak is a bit too coincidental... and, why me?"

She had originally been suspicious of the other party's identity, but upon hearing this, her whole body tensed up.

"Cough!"

【You should acknowledge me as your Foster Father!】

Heh heh.

Cannot give up yet.

Because of her strange illness, her father went away and never returned, his life or death still unknown to this day...

As expected, will mindless micromanagement not yield good results?

Or perhaps, even if she lost her memories, is Li Fengyao still the Li Fengyao he knew...

How can one bow to such shitty fate!

Charging again and again, in this corner where no one pays attention, she launches an assault against fate!

Fresh blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but Li Fengyao's eyes became even brighter.

【I know, you must have many, many questions you want to ask me now; don't be anxious, I will tell you one by one!】

【Hehe, little doll, looks like you need help?】

At the same time, Li Fengyao also clarified her own heart.

This feeling of recovering what was lost made her almost shed tears.

"... What?"

【Cough cough, stop looking, look up, I'm up here.】

But... good times do not last.

Li Fengyao closed her eyes and thought silently, analyzing the situation before her.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and spoke slowly:

"Your meaning is, you want me to take you as my master?"

To a certain extent, this explanation is actually not wrong.

After all, the person who meticulously designed the background character sheet for Li Fengyao was none other than Ren Yidao.

Finally, after who knows how many attempts, Li Fengyao felt a peculiar sensation.

Just as Ren Yidao was feeling puzzled, her shoulders began to tremble slightly.

"Father... you must be safe and sound."

Wait...

That's strange.

What?

Immediately following, a transparent human figure resembling a youth drifted out from the jade ring.

After stating the cruel answer, Ren Yidao smiled and waited for Li Fengyao's outburst.

!!!

【63】

【37】

【22】

Ren Yidao narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Fengyao before him.

She gently held the ring up, pressed it against her forehead, and whispered a prayer:

In the depths of despair, the thought of seeking death reached its peak, but at the same time... the instinct to survive also reached its highest point.

【Hmm?】

Watching Li Fengyao, who wore a vigilant expression, with a smile, Ren Yidao gave a light cough and said with high spirits:

【Anyway, let me first tell you a piece of information you care about most, *ahem*!】

Lifting his hand to remove a jade ring strung on a cord, Li Fengyao looked at it, his gaze gradually becoming tender.

"Heh, I have already lost enough—family, sect, cultivation... If I cannot even control this, how am I to take revenge on those people?"

All of this is not your fault.

No, that absolutely could not have been an auditory hallucination.

At this moment, she truly wanted to grant herself a release, not wanting to continue struggling any longer.

You are not at fault.

【Master and disciple? No, no, no, how could that kind of pedantic relationship allow me to teach you everything I know?】

Why would her cultivation disappear for no reason?

Smiling and shaking his head, Ren Yidao gave her a definitive answer.

That is not important.

It was that when she had persisted for a very, very long time, with no one left by her side to support her, and even she herself had begun to doubt herself, she finally obtained an answer.

... Forget it.

In her dantian, which was like a funnel that only let things out and never in, a wisp of Qi suddenly appeared.

Her mother passed away early, not long after giving birth to her, leaving behind only a ring as a memento for the father and child to entrust their longing to.

A person in despair will not let go of any straw of hope!

What exactly is the reason for this...

Hope.

【Tsk, why is it only 【15】? Too little, again!】

【Naturally, it is a ritual to add to the relationship between us, isn't it? Otherwise, since you and I are neither related nor acquainted, why would I help you take revenge?】

Why help me?

The ups and downs of life are just like this: small ups and big downs.

But even though she had fallen into a dangerous situation and her life was in such decay, this former Holy Son of the Zhengqi Sect still maintained a minimum level of composure.

In a very short amount of time, Ren Yidao frantically shook the Dice, finally managing to roll a number that was close enough before Li Fengyao could speak.

Under the immense disparity, Li Fengyao let out a roar like a beast in a desperate situation:

"No!!!"

Come here, child.

He thought that was not good.

He slowly drifted to a position below Li Fengyao, then deliberately tilted his head up to look upside down at the expression she was hiding.

"How could I give up in a place like this!"

Isn't it you who caused me to fall to this state?

But even though there was resentment in her heart, Li Fengyao understood that the other party was her last hope and could not be easily offended.

Wiping away the tears on her face, Li Fengyao regained her previous calmness.

【I thought you would lose your mind?】

Despair.

【You heard me right, it is to acknowledge me as your Foster Father!】

Auditory hallucination?

"Heh, hahaha, I understand now, it is Heaven that wishes to destroy me!"

Then, he directly extended an olive branch:

After finishing her prayer to her mother, Li Fengyao put the jade ring aside and once again began the dangerous attempt.

This is quite a rare scene; it must not be missed.

Why is it only he who encounters such a turn of events?

After thinking it over repeatedly for half a day and reaching no conclusion, Li Fengyao could only sigh silently, shaking his head to cast away the unwillingness in his mind.

Ren Yidao heard the sound of water droplets falling.

Opening his eyes abruptly, Li Fengyao felt as if the pitch-black night sky had lit up.

For the sake of such persistence, she shed tears.

In this era, among relationships outside of blood kin, the most solid is that of master and disciple.

"Who is speaking!?"

After a good while, only when Li Fengyao had calmed down did Ren Yidao ask curiously:

However, Li Fengyao did not curse at him as he had imagined.

Ren Yidao curled his lips; he had seen far too many scenarios of masters and disciples killing each other.

Ren Yidao had a more suitable relationship!

He said:

Thinking about it, Li Long would certainly not refuse a script where he dies at the hands of his own child.

While waiting for Li Fengyao to digest the development, Ren Yidao quickly shook the Dice.

【Did you really cry?】

"Breaking off the engagement, stripping of titles, hunting down... I always feel there is something behind this that I haven't noticed."

!!!

Before this, no matter what kind of predicament it was, it had never caused Li Fengyao to collapse.

【Have you always been concerned about why your cultivation regressed?】

Come, let out a straightforward, angry curse to vent the grief and indignation in your heart!

Fiercely insult me, damn it!

"Mother, please, you must protect Father and keep him safe."

"What is it?"

Li Fengyao had always firmly believed that as long as she could cultivate, she would definitely make those people regret it.

I can cultivate again!!?

"..."

That's right, the golden finger you've received is none other than me, Ren Yidao!

Ren Yidao extended a sincere invitation to Li Fengyao.

"Can you let me take my revenge?"

"Who!!?"

At the same time, the Recording Stone in his hand also activated three additional perspectives, recording from all angles.

After Li Fengyao successfully rolled a high number, not only could she cultivate again, but she was also gifted an attentive portable old grandfather.

She did not see the stranger she had imagined, but instead saw a familiar jade ring floating in mid-air.

Drip.

Hiss—

Li Fengyao stared intensely at the unknown existence before her, asking word by word:

【I can!】

She understood very clearly that in this situation, she absolutely must not lose her composure.

When Li Fengyao raised her head, she was stunned.

She said:

"... Fine, I agree to you."

Every bit of forbearance at this moment was for the sake of being able to take revenge on those people!

As long as she could take revenge, everything was worth it.

(I'm playing with a meme, surely no one can't tell, right?)
