Chapter 999: The Villain's Label

"Your way of thinking is very dangerous," Lao Gui chuckled. "You must never let Miss Yu find out."

"What if she finds out? Can she constrain my actions, or can she constrain my thoughts?" Zuer chuckled. "Lao Gui, do you believe it? In this world, good people do not get good rewards."

"Perhaps, but that is not important. What is important is that I have already completed one hundred good deeds, and I can go to Reincarnation immediately," Lao Gui smiled. "I have listened to scriptures at Jizhao for ten years and atoned for my sins for ten years. Now is the final moment, and I do not want any mishaps."

"You really have been brainwashed. Let me tell you, the Heavenly Dao will not forgive anyone's faults. Although you have done 99 good deeds now, you will never complete this last one, because the Heavenly Dao does not allow you to complete it."

Zuer giggled, "A villain is a villain. Once you commit evil, you will be branded with the label of a villain. Even if you listen to Buddhist scriptures for a hundred years and do a thousand or ten thousand good deeds, you will not be forgiven..."

"I don't believe it. The Heavenly Dao must be fair." Lao Gui shook his head. He stood up, straightened his suit, picked up a cane, then bowed politely to Zuer, turned, and left this place.

"Heh, you will soon understand how cruel this world is." Zuer chuckled, picked up the whiskey in front of her, and took a light sip.

"Little sister, this is a bar. Are you of age?" Just at this moment, a young man sat down with ill intent.

"I'm of age. I'm quite grown up," Zuer said, puffing out her chest.

"Let me buy you a drink," the young man said, calling for a glass of alcohol. As he picked it up, his right hand flickered, and a pill was already dropped into the glass.

"Thank you." A charming smile appeared on Zuer's face. "You are the first person to buy me a drink since I came to the bar."

"There will be more in the future. Please." The young man made a gesture of invitation.

A flash of sinister intent crossed Zuer's eyes. She put on an innocent appearance, picked up the glass of alcohol in front of her, and downed it in one gulp.

After the drink went down, Zuer let out a soft breath, leaned against the chair, and put on a dizzy appearance.

"Little sister, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you back," the young man reached out and naturally helped Zuer up.

"Boss, I've hooked a fat sheep. She's quite pretty. I'm taking her back immediately. But this babe is really top-tier; I'll enjoy her first." The young man held Zuer with one hand while holding his phone with the other, then helped her to the restroom.

Upon reaching the restroom, the young man locked the door, then impatiently grabbed Zuer and began groping her.

"In such a rush?" A sinister smile appeared on Zuer's face. She giggled, "Will you be good to me?"

"I will be good to you, always be good to you. Hehe, don't you worry." The young man did not notice the flash of red light in Zuer's eyes as he muttered his reply.

"Then if I want your Life, will you give it?" Zuer giggled.

"I'll give it. Whatever you want, I'll give it." The young man laughed heartily, completely unaware that danger had arrived.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and jerked his head up, only to see that the smile on Zuer's face was extremely eerie.

Although she was still very beautiful, for some reason, the young man couldn't help but shiver. He stumbled back a few steps and stammered, "You, you..."

"Aren't you going to give your Life to me? Now, hand it over." Zuer laughed wildly, and a mass of black Qi violently enveloped the young man.

A burst of stifled screams came from the young man's body. A moment later, the black smoke dissipated, and a blood-red aura was sucked into Zuer's mouth.

As for that young man, he had already become a withered skeleton. With a clatter, the skeleton fell to the ground and immediately turned into a pile of decaying ash.

A touch of crimson appeared between Zuer's brows. She looked at the pile of withered ash with satisfaction, then quickly left the place.

Lao Gui walked onto the street. His heart kept ruminating on the words Zuer had said.

"Living in this world, one should do as one pleases. You are a villain, already branded with the label of a villain by the Heavenly Dao. Even if you listen to scriptures for a hundred years and do a thousand good deeds, the Heavenly Dao will not forgive you."

"You have already done 99 good deeds, but the last one, you will absolutely not be able to complete."

Lao Gui looked dejected as he walked slowly along the road. His heart already had a trace of wavering; he even did not know if the things he insisted on had any meaning at all.

"No, do not waver. It is the last thing. As long as I persist, I will succeed. I do not want to be a lonely ghost; I want to go to Reincarnation, I want to possess a body. It has been too long since I was human; I no longer know what it is like to be human."

Lao Gui hurriedly shook his head, casting those terrifying thoughts to the back of his mind.

He was currently in a small alley. This place was filled with pink lights everywhere, and occasionally there were women dressed in flashy clothes beckoning to him.

Lao Gui shook his head. Having been a ghost for over ten years, these things held no temptation for him at all.

Just at this moment, a girl came running over, stumbling. She fell to the ground with a thud, then groaned while clutching her ankle.

"Do you need help?" Lao Gui walked forward.

Doing good deeds had no restrictions; even helping an old grandmother cross the street counted.

But his attempt to gather one hundred good deeds over this past year had been exceptionally difficult, because he discovered that doing evil was too easy, while doing good was truly hard.

"Uncle, I've had too much to drink. Help me, will you take me back?" The girl reached out her hand toward him.

Lao Gui walked up and silently helped the girl up.

"Ouch, my foot hurts so much." The girl's body tilted, and she threw herself into Lao Gui's arms.

She was dressed sexily to begin with, and with her throwing herself at him, it was likely no man could resist.

"Are you alright now?" Lao Gui straightened her body. "Let me help you to the side to rest for a moment."

"No need, Uncle, take me home. My home is not far from here. I've had too much to drink, I beg you." The girl looked at Lao Gui with a pleading expression.

Lao Gui hesitated, but still nodded slightly. He helped the girl and walked forward.

After walking through this small alley, turning left and right for a long time, they finally reached the girl's home on the second floor.

"Uncle, come in and sit for a while. Thank you for just now." The girl looked back at Lao Gui.

"No need, I have other things to do." Lao Gui shook his head slightly. He had an intuition that this place was a place of trouble. He had already completed the final task; he could already go to Reincarnation.

"Ouch, come in. Are you afraid that I'll eat you?" The girl, without allowing for refusal, grabbed him and pulled him into the room.
