Chapter 130 Ordinary
"As for me, I'm actually the same as you. I'm just an ordinary, mediocre person with nothing special about me." Fang Congyi didn't make any move after hearing this.
Standing alone, her once clear and bright eyes now seemed lost and hollow, as if shrouded in a thin mist, making it difficult to discern her truest thoughts. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze piercing through the layers of branches and leaves, reaching towards the distant, deep sky, muttering to herself, "I never imagined that one day, my life would undergo such a drastic change..."
At this moment, Fang Congyi's mind was like a movie, with trivial yet warm scenes from the past constantly flashing through his mind - playing carefree with his friends as a child; studying late into the night to get good grades in school; struggling and working hard in the workplace after work... He once thought that such ordinary days would continue forever, but the hand of fate inadvertently plucked the strings of life, playing a completely different melody.
She stood there quietly, letting her thoughts surge like a tide, constantly flooding her mind. Those fragments of memories, whether happy or sad, sweet or bitter, intertwined into a colorful picture, wrapping her tightly in it, making her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself for a long time.
Just as Fang Congyi was completely lost in the sea of memories, a deep, magnetic voice suddenly pierced the surrounding silence like a flash of lightning. Though the voice was quiet, it was incredibly penetrating, as if it could penetrate the soul. Following the sound, she saw Lu Yan had quietly arrived beside her.
Lu Yan's voice was as gentle as a flawless white feather, drifting leisurely through the air, so light and airy that it was almost imperceptible. His tone was soothing and peaceful, neither hurried nor slow, as if he wasn't speaking to anyone else, but rather the natural outpouring of his most hidden emotions, like a private whisper belonging only to him, unconnected to the world around him.
However, Fang Congyi, standing here at this moment, was no longer the frail, weak woman she had once been. Time had flown by, and since she resolutely embarked on this long, arduous, and challenging path of cultivation, she had been navigating a turbulent sea, enduring countless life-or-death trials and enduring hardships unimaginable to ordinary people.
Throughout this long and tortuous journey of cultivation, her body and mind were tempered and tested time and again. The potential unleashed each time she faced life and death, gradually transforming her into a more powerful being. Her five senses, in particular, were enhanced to an unprecedented degree.
Now, her eyes, once as clear as water, could detect the slightest movement in her surroundings; her delicate ears could clearly pick up even the faintest sound; and even her seemingly ordinary nose could distinguish the subtle differences between the various complex scents in the air. Whether it was vision, hearing, or smell, she displayed an acuity beyond the ordinary.
Comparing her present self with her former, delicate and fragile self, easily blown down by a single breeze, she's like two completely different people. She used to be like a flower in a greenhouse, vulnerable to the ravages of wind and rain; now, she's like a plum blossom that defies the frost and snow, standing proudly despite the wind and rain. This transformation is truly astonishing and truly awe-inspiring!
When Fang Cong heard Lu Yan's gentle words, she felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her body trembled violently and she was slightly stunned, as if time had frozen at this moment. But after just a moment, she quickly recovered like a fawn awakened.
Her eyebrows, as beautiful as distant mountains, were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of undisguised confusion. Then, as if afraid of missing any information, she eagerly asked, "What did you just say?" Her voice was clear and resonant, revealing both an eagerness to know the answer and a strong curiosity about the unknown.
At this moment, Fang Congyi felt like a naughty kitten scratching inside her, itching non-stop. This plot development, of which she herself was completely unaware, was incredibly captivating. It instantly filled her heart with curiosity and interest, as if she had discovered a mysterious treasure, waiting for her to unearth its secrets.
However, just as she slightly opened her small, cute, cherry-red mouth and prepared to ask Lu Yan further questions, something unexpected happened - without any warning, a sharp, piercing and extremely thin voice suddenly sounded like lightning that cut through the night sky!
The sound was eerie and terrifying, as if a pair of enormous, invisible hands were gripping someone's neck with irresistible force. The person being strangled was clearly making a final, desperate struggle, but no matter how hard they tried, they could only squeeze out a faint, shimmering sound from the depths of their almost completely sealed throat. The sound was intermittent, intermittent, like a final cry for help from a suffocating person. The mere hearing of it sent a shudder through the body, a surge of indescribable fear welling up within them. It instantly sent the hairs of the body standing on end, their very bones trembling.
And at that terrifying moment, the figure who was supposed to solemnly read the imperial edict was actually a tortoise who had successfully cultivated into a human form! At first glance, this uninvited guest looked no different from an ordinary mortal, his figure and appearance were no different from those of an ordinary person. However, if someone paid a little attention and carefully observed him, they would easily discover the hidden mystery and unusual features within him.
