Chapter 139

Because her brother, Shi Bai, had secretly practiced the "Virgin Art"!

It was not that Shi Bai avoided women; rather, a childhood encounter had left him impotent.

Thus, the claim that Dong Shiniang was Shi Bai's mistress was nothing but baseless rumor.

The reason Shi Bai did not clarify was likely that he intended to use Dong Shiniang as a decoy.

As for why Dong Shiniang remained silent, first she might have dared not deny it, and second, she might have been protecting herself through this method.

【The last leader was not from the Liuhe Gang, but the head of the Four Great Protectors of the Xueyueshen Sect—Hei Hei Qiling.】

【The Xueyueshen Sect originated from another television drama called "Heavenly Sword Group of Heroes," whose main plot involved collecting the "Five Heavenly Sword Titles" to extract the invincible "Heavenly Sword."】

【The Wu Gong in this drama was somewhat magical; some were so bizarre they approached immortal arts, and the setting of the "Heavenly Sword" was even more mysterious, though its power was not entirely outrageous.】

【The three strongest in the entire series—the Immortal Maiden Green Mother, King Beiluowang, and the reclusive master Qing Qing Songzi—were probably at the level of Heaven and Man.】

【I killed Hei Hei Qiling; this fellow said before dying that King Beiluowang would avenge him.】

【Unfortunately, he cannot have his wish granted; a blind Heaven and Man, I can play him to death!】

【I just do not know if there will be a day when I meet King Beiluowang on a narrow path.】

【The Liuhe Gang must have sent something good to the Xueyueshen Sect, for Hei Hei Qiling personally came out.】

【Shi Hongying would have snatched this item only if she knew about it; should I ask her?】

【Forget it; if she wanted to say it, she would say it herself; if she did not want to say it, asking would only put her in a difficult position.】

【Detected that Jiang Sishui has completed today's diary entry; congratulations, you have received one month of True Qi.】

【Drawing today's winner...】

【Congratulations to Lin Shiyin for winning three "Life Simulation Opportunities."】

As the diary ended and the women were guessing what a "Life Simulation Opportunity" was like, Shi Hongying's face, which had been full of expectation just moments before, froze.

"Ah! Why not me?" Shi Hongying looked utterly bewildered.

Wait, should not the protagonist of today's diary entry be her?

According to past custom, the lottery should have drawn her!

How did the system suddenly change its nature?

Shi Hongying looked depressed.

Unfortunately, this could not change the already decided result.

However, soon Shi Hongying cheered up again.

Because she was now right beside Jiang Sishui; being close to the water gives one the first chance to enjoy the moon; there would be plenty of opportunities later for him to mention her in the diary, so there was no need to compete with Lin Shiyin or haggle over every bit at this moment.

After all, that woman who might be exactly like her was truly pitiful.

Meanwhile, Jiang Sishui over there also claimed his reward—

【Congratulations on completing your twenty-fifth diary entry; reward: special physique "Body of Invincibility."】

【Congratulations on completing today's diary entry; reward: Martial Arts Experience +1000, one "Ji's Art Pill."】

"Body of Invincibility?"

After receiving the relevant information, Jiang Sishui was stunned for a moment, then wore a meaningful smile.

The smile grew wider and wider, until he finally burst out laughing.

Yet this laughter made people feel it was somewhat improper.

The essence of this "Body of Invincibility" lies in the two characters "Invincibility."

However, it is not about maintaining invincibility in combat with others, but rather manifests in matters of the bedchamber.

In one sentence: before he defeats all opponents, this physique allows him to remain forever in a position of invincibility.

For example—

Jiang Sishui once fought ten at once, but his original strength could only support him in taking down eight; he was powerless against the remaining two.

At this moment, the "Body of Invincibility" would reveal its power, allowing him to regain his vigor until complete victory.

Let alone ten opponents; even if a hundred came, he would be invincible!

This reward was undoubtedly a heaven-sent joy for Jiang Sishui, who aspired to build a harem.

Afterwards, he added the Martial Arts Experience as usual—

【Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique (Heavenly Art): Minor Success (**】

154 Gazing into the Future, Lin Shiyin's Three Simulated Lives】

The diary rewards these past few days were all less than a thousand, but thanks to the "Lang Lang Fanyun Talent" and "Ten Directions Annihilation," even though Jiang Sishui spent only a little time each day contemplating, his progress was already not slow.

The Heavenly Art "Heavenly Sword Drawing Technique" took another Small step on the path to Minor Success.

Moreover, this progress will only accelerate from now on.

"Now I can instantly release sword light two zhang long; I wonder what special changes will occur when this art reaches Great Success."

Jiang Sishui felt expectation in his heart.

However, now was not the time to think of such things.

Jiang Sishui glanced at the sky, then quietly slipped toward Wang Yuyan's residence.

When flowers are ready to be plucked, they must be plucked; the Fairy Sister is already ripe!

Jinzhou, Li Yuan.

Lin Shiyin had not expected that today's winner would actually be herself; after receiving the reward, her expression changed, her look carrying seven parts shock, two parts joy, and one part hesitation.

Life Simulation; this was actually an opportunity to see fate and the future!

Depending on her different choices, it would reflect different paths of destiny.

In other words, this was an opportunity for her life to start over.

No—three chances!

"Fate… the future…"

Lin Shiyin was utterly shocked within.

But thinking of the many wondrous things she had heard of from the diary, she quickly let it go.

Yet after that, Lin Shiyin fell into hesitation once more.

Without a doubt, she very much wanted to know how her future with Li Xunhuan would unfold, but she was also terribly afraid of getting a result that would disappoint her.

So she wavered, she agonized.

In the end, the ever-timid Lin Shiyin gathered her courage and chose to face it.

After all, what was coming could not be avoided by hiding.

Lying on the bed, Lin Shiyin closed her eyes, and instead saw scene after scene.

Long Xiaoyun, born of a gentry clan, but because his father had been a cruel official who poisoned the common folk, was impeached and exposed by Li Fu, who served alongside him at court.

The imperial court raided the Long household to punish them, and Long Xiaoyun fell from a young official's son into a common street beggar, suffering every hardship, and thus came to hate the Li family deeply.

After chance allowed him to learn a set of martial skills, he began his own plan of revenge.

Because Li Fu had already passed away, he shifted his hatred onto his son Li Xunhuan, swearing to make Li Xunhuan lose everything and suffer every tribulation just as he had.

So he laid out a scheme, sending men to surround and kill Li Xunhuan, then appearing at the last moment to save him, earning the unknowing Li Xunhuan's boundless gratitude.

The two then became sworn brothers of different surnames.

Returning to Li Yuan, Long Xiaoyun saw Lin Shiyin, thought her a heavenly being, and resolved to seize her for his wife.

So he pretended not to know that Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin were already betrothed and deeply in love, feigned lovesickness, and seized the chance to ask Li Xunhuan for Lin Shiyin.

Li Xunhuan, seeing his sworn elder brother's appearance wither day by day, tearfully agreed.

Lin Shiyin married down to Long Xiaoyun, and Li Xunhuan handed over the entire family estate as a wedding gift, then departed far to the northwest.

After the wedding, Lin Shiyin could not forget Li Xunhuan, and wore a sickly look all day long.

She bore a son, who was also taught by Long Xiaoyun into a treacherous and cunning scoundrel, whose viciousness and cruelty surpassed even his father's.

In the end, because Li Xunhuan returned, Long Xiaoyun schemed and plotted against Li Xunhuan, intending to put him to death, and Lin Shiyin also perished in that clash of schemes.

Seeing this, Lin Shiyin opened her eyes, and her flawless, exquisite jade-like face was covered in tear-stains.

This was her first life simulation.

And during the simulation, she had also assumed the premise of excluding Jiang Sishui.

Because Jiang Sishui was more like a "variable"—once he got involved, the ending might have no suspense at all.
