The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 55 Promise to change fate

Huo Feng didn't expect that the so-called princess would find the right direction so quickly. But he really didn't like this princess. He glanced at Wang Wei secretly and found that Wang Wei didn't notice this at all - just what he wanted.

"Master, then what should we do next, book an inn and make plans?" Huo Feng lightly took Wang Wei's arm, trying to block the view of the people behind them.

"Okay." Wang Wei was in a good mood because she could leave early. She teased, "Do you want to go and satisfy your appetite? I can accompany you."

The crowd dispersed, and the master and his disciple returned to the streets of East Market. The market was about to close, and vendors were packing up their stalls. Some even rushed to the night market in North Market to reopen for business.

Huo Feng was absent-minded the whole way. He was worried that Wang Wei would really take on the ridiculous task of changing the fate of the imperial family. He occasionally looked around, fearing that he would run into that crazy princess.

Wang Wei thought he was particularly strange today, and asked him again and again, but she couldn't get any information. She thought Huo Feng was not in a good mood because he hadn't finished watching the show, so she checked the address with the newspaper and took him to a sweet water shop.

Huo Feng said silently in his heart: "Gods and gods, I have escaped this time. I hope I won't meet her again in the future." God prays for God's protection, the double superposition should be more effective...

But things don't always go as planned. The more you fear something, the more likely it will come to you.

"Master!" Du Ximiao shouted happily behind them, "I found you."

A Zhouji sweet soup shop that only opened at night was booked out right after it opened. The only person who could be so generous was Du Ximiao, the princess of the Tai Yao Dynasty.

The four of them gathered around a table that was neither too big nor too small. Du Ximiao and her personal bodyguard Yuan Xiang sat on one side, and opposite them sat Wang Wei, who was full of interest, and Huo Feng, who looked indifferent. The four of them looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

"Peach gum, snow fungus, soap rice sweet water and pine nut and lily pastry are here. Please enjoy your meals, dear guests. If you need anything else, we have everything in our store!" The shop owner was a neat middle-aged woman. After taking the orders, she was busy clearing the tables.

During the day, this shop is the noodle shop of the third brother of the Li family next door. She also helps sell some freshly made desserts. The time after dinner belongs to her. It is a small business, and with a large population in the city, it is enough to make some money to supplement the family expenses.

"Aunt Cui, how is your business recently? Don't you push that cart anymore?" Du Ximiao greeted.

"The weather has just gotten a little warmer recently, so not many people come here. I can't stay idle at home. My wife thinks I can make some money with my skills, so she discussed it with Brother Li San and asked me to lend him the store to try it out first... That little car, alas, was taken away by the official before."

"Why is this official so unreasonable?" Du Ximiao frowned, "I'll help you—"

"No, no, you've bought desserts from me a few times before, so you're my customer. How can I ask you to do this for me?" The boss declined. "It's fine if you come here often, but it's not a bother for you to just do this for me."

"Aunt Cui, it would be better to sell your sweet water at the night market in Taipei. If you rent it here, besides acquaintances, there will be a few people who know that you sell such delicious sweet water here." Du Ximiao suggested. She turned to look at the master and disciple, "Master, what do you think of the taste?"

Wang Wei used a spoon to stir the octagonal bowl in front of him. The milky white syrup was mixed with crystal clear peach gum and snow fungus, and embellished with red wolfberries. It smelled sweet.

She had already broken her rules a little last time in Fang Qiu, this time... She nudged Huo Feng with her elbow, signaling him to try it. Huo Feng thought he should be grateful, but he didn't want to spoil the boss's expectation, so he scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

"Delicious! It has a refreshing and delicate taste, and the sweetness is just right." Huo Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Aunt Cui and nodded in agreement. Aunt Cui smiled happily, "There are still some lotus seeds at the bottom... There are still some in the pot, if not enough, add more!" Then she went to the kitchen to get busy.

Huo Feng turned his head to look at Wang Wei, "Master, why don't you try it too, it's really delicious." Wang Wei opened his mouth to refuse, but his mouth was blocked by the pine nut and lily pastry that was brought to him.

Wang Wei: “…”

The princess sitting right opposite him made a move. Huo Feng only dared to recommend from the side at this time, but he didn't expect that someone would actually force-feed him!

Wang Wei was stunned. Fortunately, the lily cake was not very big and melted in her mouth. She swallowed carefully, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste. This was the first time in her life that she had eaten something, and it was at this moment in this unknown little shop.

"How is it? It tastes good, right? I won't lie to you." Du Ximiao was very proud. Seeing Wang Wei's stunned expression turn slightly gloomy, she also became a little worried. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, "The taste is fine--"

"Let's talk business." Wang Wei interrupted the previous topic. She didn't want to care about such trivial matters.

Just eat it, there is nothing special about it except that it tastes good.

"Last time, the Immortal gave me a hint. You said, 'If we can meet again next time, it means that the door is willing to open for you.' I thought about it for a long time and finally found the answer - it's the opening door!" Du Ximiao's voice was a little high-pitched. "The opening door is located in the northwest Qian Palace among the eight gates. The northwest is the direction of Yangyue City, so I rushed back as fast as I could, but I didn't expect to meet the Immortal again."

"You are not stupid, you are quite insightful." Please give your comments.

"Thank you for the praise, Immortal. Then can we fulfill our agreement? Help me change my fate." Du Ximiao asked.

Huo Feng frowned and glanced at Yuan Xiang who was sitting opposite him. He also didn't eat a single bite. He kept his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and looked quite nervous.

Huo Feng sent a voice message: "Master, do you really want to agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

Wang Wei was still stirring the sugar water in the bowl with the spoon, then she scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

Well, it’s quite sweet, it’s okay.

Huo Feng saw that she didn't respond to him, and sent a message again: "Master——"

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows: "Okay. But I won't stay in one place for too long. Changing my fate is not an easy thing."

Du Ximiao's eyes lit up: "Of course, he and I are willing to follow the immortal!" Yuan Xiang looked at Wang Wei and nodded slightly.

Wang Wei smiled, and Du Ximiao took the opportunity to ask, "Then can the Immortal help me now?"

"Don't call me Immortal from now on. My name is Mo Wei." Wang Wei said this pseudonym again.

Du Ximiao: "Sister, my name is Du Ximiao, and his name is Yuan Xiang."

Wang Wei: "What did you call me?"

Du Ximiao hoped: "If not this, then can I call you Master?"

"No." Huo Feng stopped her decisively, "I am the master's last disciple. She will not accept any more disciples." After saying that, he looked at Wang Wei, and seeing that she didn't react, he secretly tugged at her sleeve with his hand.

"Well, my apprentice is right. I won't accept any more disciples in the future. You guys can do whatever you want." Wang Wei didn't bother to argue. She definitely didn't mind a certain title and stopped her from calling it that.

"Then call me Sister Weiwei!" Du Ximiao smiled and was quite excited.

Fine.

Wang Wei closed her eyes and started counting on her fingers in an extremely serious manner. In fact, there was no need for such a bluffing process. She only needed to take a glance to understand everything.

The fate of this Tai Yao Princess was messy. Her short and turbulent first half of life had all been burned to ashes by her. Although it was not burned so cleanly, once this beginning was made, the fate would be very different. Maybe it would reach a peak, or maybe it would go to -

Regarding the endless future, Wang Wei vaguely saw some unpredictable...disasters? That was not Du Ximiao's personal calamity, but a disaster for the entire mortal world...

A dazzling white light flashed before Wang Wei's eyes, and the next moment she slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister Weiwei, what did you see?" Du Ximiao asked urgently. Wang Wei's expression showed nothing unusual, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Just do good things and don't worry about the future." Wang Wei slowly said eight words.

Du Ximiao pursed her lips and tapped the tabletop irregularly with her fingers. After a while, she spoke slowly, more like a murmur to herself: "What is a good thing? Everything I do is to hope to change my life... Although I want a lot, why can't it be me..."

"Little girl, the glory of your life is not achieved overnight. Why does everyone have several decades of life? Is it so that you can squander it or feel sorry for yourself? Of course, it is to give you the opportunity to change everything and start over."

Wang Wei smiled slightly and took up the hand that was knocking on the table nervously. "In your life, I see you being able to stand on your own. Maybe that will be your glorious moment. If you must ask me whether you will be on the supreme throne at that time, you might as well ask yourself first whether you can become what you want to be in the future."

Du Ximiao's eyes turned red when she heard these words. Yuan Xiang handed her a handkerchief. She held it in her palm and let her tears fall quietly. After another silence, she spoke: "I... I will try my best. Thank you, Sister Weiwei. I hope Sister Weiwei can give me more guidance."

"That's easy. Although your fate is controlled by the Heavenly Realm's Fate Palace, how can you be sure that your entire life has been engraved on it? Is there a possibility that the fate stone was originally empty, and only your experiences will be shown on it, and there are countless veins extending into the future, which are the different lives you have thought about, and each one leads to a different ending."

Wang Wei's words shocked Du Ximiao. She had never thought about it before. She was just deeply immersed in the result of the divination.

Huo Feng, who was sitting next to him, was also a little surprised. Isn't this destroying the Donghua Emperor's Siming Mansion?

He had the honor of seeing the appearance of a fate book once. Everyone's fate book was initially a smooth stone of different shapes and colors. Gradually, different marks and patterns would appear on it. Only gods with divine eyes could check specific experiences, even down to a certain moment. They could also deduce the future based on the stone, but the future had too many uncertainties, so they could only analyze it based on the present.

"So the choice is up to you." Wang Wei scooped another spoonful of sugar water, and the sweet juice slid into her throat. She dipped her left finger in the sugar water and wrote a talisman in the air. The talisman glowed faintly, and the handwriting was also reflected in the air. She pushed it lightly, and the light fell on Du Ximiao's body, and then disappeared.

"Has this been changed?" Du Ximiao's voice trembled slightly. She really wanted to jump directly to the ending to see if she would be crowned with a yellow robe, but this was too unfair.

"This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go." Wang Wei got up and left. Huo Feng on the side was unhappy, which was seen by Du Ximiao.

Du Ximiao took the master and his apprentice to the Linchuan Inn where they were staying. This inn was the largest inn in the district, with many empty rooms. Du Ximiao and Yuan Xiang lived in one room, and Huo Feng lived next to Wang Wei. However, Huo Feng had many questions. He thought that it was okay for the master to help people, and there should be no discrimination, but he still couldn't understand the matter of changing the fate of the emperor's daughter.

Wang Wei was sitting cross-legged on the couch practicing. Seeing Huo Feng hesitant to speak, he patted the other side of the couch, motioning Huo Feng to sit down.

"I know what you want to say." Wang Wei raised his eyes and tilted his head to look at him. Huo Feng shook his head: "Master, I don't like her very much. I have heard a lot of rumors about her along the way. Her character can be seen from this."

"Lord Huo has also started to choose people to fulfill their wishes?" Wang Wei raised his eyebrows and joked.

"I... am not..." Huo Feng couldn't explain.

"Let me ask you," Wang Wei turned around and faced him, "Before on the road, you helped that seriously ill mother, why?"

"Because her mother is seriously ill, her daughter has to go out to earn money to support the family at such a young age. It's so pitiful. If I don't help her, she and her daughter will definitely end up..." Huo Feng was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Then do you know who lives next door to them?" Wang Wei asked.

“I don’t know…” Huo Feng looked hesitant.

"The husband next door is a gambler. He just sold his three children to pay off his debts, and his wife was angered to death." Wang Wei's voice was quite calm, as if he was talking about the weather.

Huo Feng frowned. He seemed to hear the cry of a child in his memory, but he was immersed in the gratitude of the mother and daughter in front of him and did not care too much.

"Master, then why didn't you say... maybe we can still save him..." Before Huo Feng could finish his words, Wang Wei came closer, pinched his chin, and stared into his eyes.

"Save them?" She chuckled. "Why are you always so naive? They are not the only family to be used as collateral for debt. If we save them, their father will continue to sell them to others. Does it make any difference?"

"But I won't... be like you, watching and doing nothing. As for helping that princess, she is of noble status, and a single move would affect the entire body, with too great an impact..." Huo Feng retorted, breaking free from her fingers.

"Childish." Wang Wei narrowed her eyes. She wanted to say something else but didn't. So she let out a long sigh, jumped off the couch, and poured a glass of water from the kettle on the table.

"Do you think helping one or two people can really solve the problem?" Wang Wei raised his head and drank a glass of water. "If you really want to help more people, you must start with the people in the power center. They are the guardians of the human race and should do these things instead of relying on the charity of God."

She sat back in her original position. "If Fang Qiu had developed well, the sick mother might have been cured instead of relying on you to use the elixir from heaven. You only solved a temporary problem. If there was unrest around Fang Qiu in the future, and the mother died in the war, how could you save her? You are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause. This is not defying fate, but just satisfying your selfish desire to help others. But I think that your original intention should not be like this."

Huo Feng was persuaded. He admitted that he had not thought it through and was too eager for success in this regard. What he had not been able to do before was finally within his reach now, and he did not want to give up easily... However, the master not only did not blame him, but also gave him a way out.

Huo Feng said apologetically, "Master, I am too narrow-minded. You did this for such a deep purpose. Do you want to guide her to become a good ruler who is good to the people and the country?"

Wang Wei smiled and said nothing. But in Huo Feng's eyes, her image seemed to be a little taller.

She thought to herself that she would never do such a boring thing, and she had no interest in intervening deeply in the fate of others. She would just be a bystander, waiting to see the ending.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it's worth watching.
