Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1346 - 401: [Those Who Should Die]_2
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
There’s a saying, a narrow escape from disaster brings future fortune.
Actually, it’s survivor’s bias.
If truly "not dead," it means the original destiny meant survival, and the future fortune is also predetermined by fate.
After cultivating, Chen Yan learned Destiny Cycle and gradually understood many aspects of this.
For those truly "meant to die," if they escape an accident and survive...
Heaven will certainly not spare you.
There will be more troubles awaiting you, which is the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
It might not necessarily take your life.
Most likely, it will make you decline in all aspects.
You’ll live, but may lose wealth, luck, love, familial ties — leading to an overall poor life.
Because every creature, by living, demands a share of the world’s fortune.
If one only has a lifespan of twenty years and forcibly survives past twenty...
Then, from the age of twenty-one, the blessings and wealth they were destined for will vanish — for in Heaven’s ledger, this world should no longer have this person.
But as long as one lives, they continue to occupy fortune, even the unluckiest person occupies a little.
This little bit creates an imbalance in the books.
If Heaven doesn’t suppress you, whom else should it suppress?
·
If it were Chen Yan before his great enlightenment, encountering such a thing, he might have unhesitatingly saved this girl named He Lina.
After all, back then, he hadn’t understood how the Heavenly Dao operates.
He had learned much about good thoughts from childhood, like saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
But now Chen Yan wouldn’t do this.
The concept of good and evil, the standards in his mind have shifted from before.
Often, saving someone, if it defies Heaven, might lead to an even worse fate for them.
Chen Yan does not merely want to save this girl named He Lina.
Rather...
A sudden death fate, then this is a golden opportunity to explode Heavenly Dao coins!
If the Heavenly Dao thinks this girl should die, the simplest and most brutal approach is for Chen Yan to directly take her out!
By aligning with Heaven’s will, naturally one will reap the rewards.
And, these rewards will certainly be much greater than with Zhang Tong, who just experienced a tiny bloody disaster, probably shed less than 2 milliliters of blood.
This is a human life!
But Chen Yan isn’t someone devoid of humanity.
After all, as a human, to directly kill someone he has no grudge against... he cannot do such a thing.
So, how does one devise a way to neither truly kill her nor collect Heavenly Dao coins?
Throughout a meal, Chen Yan pondered over it.
·
"I think that guy, he’s quite handsome, but why does he look so dumb?"
After leaving the noodle shop and bidding farewell to Chen Yan, two girls, in companionship, headed home. On the way, He Lina started chatting with Zhang Tong.
"What dumb, he is just honest. You don’t know, he’s so honest that people can slaughter him." Zhang Tong blushed: "Moreover, isn’t an honest man better? An honest man is better than a jerk, right?"
He Lina shook her head: "I disagree, seeming dull and foolish, such a person is destined to make no money, what use is a good-looking face if it can’t support you. Maybe he’ll need others to support him."
"Why would I need a man to support me, I have hands and feet." Zhang Tong frowned.
He Lina dismissively responded, "Cut," and said, "Isn’t it natural for women to spend men’s money, men to support women?"
Zhang Tong didn’t want to argue with her best friend over this topic, so she shook her head and changed the subject: "But he is staying in a five-star hotel, how could he need anyone to support him?"
He Lina’s eyes brightened: "That’s true, staying in a five-star hotel, can’t be too poor! Maybe he’s quite wealthy!"
Actually, Chen Yan was always following behind the two girls.
Though he no longer had cultivation, his physical strength was sufficient to stealthily follow the two ordinary girls without problem.
He listened from afar to their gossip but didn’t care much about it.
Seeing the two girls walk into a community, following them into the building, Chen Yan didn’t follow further.
He stood downstairs for a while, saw a window light up on the fourth floor, confirmed the location, then turned around and left.
That night, he made a call.
"Keqing, come to Wuhan, help me with something. I can’t manage it alone, I need you to do it."
·
Chen Yan spent the night at the hotel, and in the morning, he walked out, followed the street in front of the hotel, and found the dental clinic.
He sat in a nearby cafe for a while.
During that time, he saw Zhang Tong and He Lina walk past the street and then enter the dental clinic together.
At noon, Zhang Tong came out of the clinic and went to a nearby snack shop for lunch.
When she came out, she was already wearing the nurse’s uniform from the clinic, clearly having successfully started her new job.
He spent the whole day at the cafe, ordering a simple lunch there as well.
In the afternoon, a car stopped by the roadside, and Chen Yan saw Chu Keqing, wearing a trench coat, stride in, dusty and hasty.
Dean Chu’s arrival quickly attracted the attention of many patrons in the cafe. But she disregarded such gazes — her looks had long made her accustomed to this.
Bearing the gazes, Chu Keqing quickly found where Chen Yan sat — by the window in a corner.
Chu Keqing’s face immediately broke into a smile and walked over quickly to sit beside Chen Yan.
"I thought, being away this time, I’d take a long while to see you again. Didn’t expect it’s just a day and you’ve already called me."
Chu Keqing said as she gently held Chen Yan’s hand, her head unabashedly resting on Chen Yan’s shoulder.
Chen Yan chuckled: "Some accidents occurred, didn’t expect I’d contact you so soon."
Chu Keqing then got slightly serious: "With your cultivation, is there anything in this world you can’t handle? You actually called me to assist, is this matter tricky this time?
Is there a formidable adversary that requires my support?"
"No, it’s merely complex, not difficult, and not dangerous."
Chen Yan said, picking up his phone to scan the code, ordering Chu Keqing a cup of coffee and a simple meal.
After all, now that she is his woman, he should take good care of her.
"I guess you didn’t have breakfast this morning, just rushed over by high-speed rail, right? Have some food, then we’ll return to the hotel, and I’ll slowly explain everything."
Chu Keqing smiled and looked at Chen Yan.
But then, during the meal, Chu Keqing noticed Chen Yan suddenly turn his head to gaze out the window.
Outside, Zhang Tong and He Lina walked side by side.
Chu Keqing’s mind stirred, sensing that Chen Yan’s focus was on a specific target.
"Nice figure, but looks seem ordinary," Chu Keqing’s tone held a hint of jealousy: "How, haven’t you already finished Refining Heart, no longer needing indulgence?
Moreover, your taste is too poor, these girls are beneath the Orange Girl you found in Jinling Prefecture back then."
Chen Yan shook his head: "You’ve misunderstood, I’ve completed Refining Heart, and now you’re my only woman."
After a pause, Chen Yan lifted his hand, pointing at the two girls crossing the street: "The one on the left, wearing the dress, that’s the target for this plan."
·
The two then returned to the hotel together.
At the hotel room, Chen Yan closed the door, walked with Chu Keqing into the living room, and slowly said: "I asked you here to help me perform a spell, which I’ll teach you today. With your talent, you should learn it within half a day... Eh? Eh? What are you doing?"
Chen Yan grinned oddly, watching Chu Keqing throw herself into his embrace, her slender fingers unbuttoning his shirt.
"I’ve eaten at the cafe, but in other aspects, I’m still hungry!"
Chu Keqing’s breath quickened, whispering softly in Chen Yan’s ear: "I don’t care, now that you’re my man, you must satisfy me!"
Chen Yan: "..."
What else could be said?
Chen Yan took a deep breath, bent down to scoop up Chu Keqing, and turned to the bedroom.
