Chapter 6: The Road to the Ninth Order Chapter 14 Awakening
Wu Qi recalled: "I became an orphan because of the evil spirit. I suffered a lot and wandered to Cheng'an Prefecture. I have forgotten a lot of the hardships I went through as a teenager. It was really too hard."
Xu Jingming listened and thought, given the harsh environment of the demon-suppressing world, one could imagine what a child fleeing famine would encounter.
Wu Qi said: "At that time, I was hit and my spine was injured. There was no way to get treatment when I was fleeing from the famine, so I became a hunchback. It was not until later when I learned martial arts that I was able to nourish the injured part and the hunchback became less severe. You haven't seen me when I was a child. My hunchback was much more severe than it is now."
"I remember that year when it snowed heavily and was so cold that I had nothing to eat," said Uncle Seven. "I was so cold that I almost fell asleep on the street."
"If I had really fallen asleep at that time, I would have died." Uncle Qi said, "Just when I was cold and confused, your mother appeared. Your mother was the same age as me at that time, and she was also young. Your mother was a daughter of the Wu family. I remember that she was dressed very beautifully at that time."
"It was your mother who gave me food and drink. She also held my hand and brought me to the Wu Mansion." Uncle Seven said, "Your mother is really kind. She didn't mind that I was a hunchbacked little beggar. She brought me to the Wu Mansion, where I read and practiced calligraphy, and learned martial arts. I really turned my life around and became a man."
Xu Jingming listened.
"I want to repay the young lady for the rest of my life. I studied martial arts very hard, and finally, I got into martial arts." Uncle Qi smiled, "I can finally become the young lady's bodyguard. "
"The young lady trusts me very much. When she married into the Chen family and brought a group of maids and guards with her, she asked me to follow her and arranged for me to be the manager." Uncle Qi said, "I will naturally not let the young lady down and will work for her wholeheartedly."
"It was only after spending so much time with you that you discovered Chen Shian's true nature. On the surface, he looks like a wealthy and well-mannered man. But in fact, he is greedy and selfish." Uncle Qi gritted his teeth, "I wanted to kill him with a knife. But he is your husband after all. I can't do it without your approval."
"The young lady was sad in private, but she still had to be a good wife of the second wife and run some of the second wife's businesses." Uncle Qi said, "Maybe she was heartbroken by Chen Shian and was too concerned about the business, so the young lady fell ill..."
Uncle Qi had tears in his eyes. "When she was at the Wu family, Miss was carefree. She never thought that marrying here would be like this. Before she died, Miss was most worried about the young master. You were only eight years old at the time. Although Miss forced Chen Shian to swear in front of her that he would treat you well and give you eight thousand taels of silver when you came of age, Miss still didn't trust him very much, so she secretly instructed me."
"She gave me five thousand taels of silver, which the young lady had hidden away for many years." Uncle Qi said, "And she told me to take good care of you!"
"Later, the young lady died, but Chen Shi'an was very happy. The young lady's dowry and the money left behind all went to him. He married your second mother in the same year! He also excluded some servants and guards that the young lady brought with her." Uncle Qi said, "I was transferred there to be responsible for transporting medicinal materials. Although I was a beginner in martial arts, I was nothing in the Chen family. I had to stay in the Chen family to protect the young master... I couldn't resist at the time."
"Do you still remember that when you were nine years old, the Chen family's team transporting medicinal materials was attacked by bandits, and most of them were killed or injured?" Uncle Qi looked at Xu Jingming, "In fact, I died under the siege of bandits that time."
"When I killed more than ten bandits in a row and caused a leader of the bandits to lead his men to attack, I knew I couldn't escape." Uncle Qi said, "I tried to resist and get a chance to survive. I don't want to die, and I still want to protect you, young master. In the Chen family, with Chen Shian's temper... without someone to protect you, you will have a hard time."
Uncle Qi's eyes turned red. "But sometimes, just because you don't want to die doesn't mean you can survive. I'm not strong enough, I really couldn't stop it, and that knife cut through my chest."
"I really don't want to die."
"I can't die either. If I die, who will protect the young master?" Uncle Qi said, "Maybe at the moment of my life and death, my obsession was too strong. My body died, but my obsession still exists."
Uncle Qi smiled softly: "That's good, if I become a demon, I will truly have the power to protect the young master."
Uncle Qi looked at Xu Jingming and said, "After becoming a demon, I may seem inconspicuous in the Chen family, but I can secretly influence many things, so I can always take care of the young master."
Xu Jingming nodded.
In Chen Qi's memory, he was very careful at home and never dared to make his father and stepmother angry. But in fact, Chen Qi did not encounter any major danger or trouble. Now it seems that Wu Qi secretly blocked them.
"But I didn't expect that the young master didn't offend anyone in the Chen family, but the Chen family insisted on expelling the young master from the family." Uncle Qi shook his head, "It's better for him to leave. I will protect the young master, and he will suffer less outside."
"Speaking of which, fate has played a trick on us. Young Master, you actually got to learn the secret method of subduing demons and became a demon subduer, making the Chen family regret it to death!" Uncle Qi praised, "Young Master, you have an outstanding talent for subduing demons. In more than ten years, you have grown to this point. Your strength is already stronger than mine."
In terms of demonic body, Uncle Seventh is only equivalent to a demon at the eighth level. Only with his top-notch swordsmanship can he resist demons at a higher level.
"Young Master, you are now stronger than me, and your senior brother Gu Shan is even more unfathomable." Uncle Qi sighed, "I don't have anything to protect you now. With my limited strength, if I encounter danger, I'm afraid I still need you to protect me."
There was reluctance in Xu Jingming's eyes.
"I did what the young lady asked me to do." Uncle Qi smiled at Xu Jingming, "Also, you don't have to worry. I haven't done anything evil over the years. I'm not the kind of devil that you hate."
"I'm not troubled, and I believe in Uncle Seventh." Xu Jingming said.
"Okay, now that I've said it all, I feel relieved." Uncle Qi said, "Finally, I also want to advise the young master."
"You say." Xu Jingming said.
"In the past ten years, you have traveled all over the country and cared about the common people. But, young master, you should care about yourself more." Uncle Qi said, "Life is so short, so you should do something you like and something that makes you happy."
"Just like me, I have always done things that make me happy in my life. I followed the young lady back then, and later protected the young master." Uncle Qi said, "After I leave, you will be alone, young master. You should do something happy and don't make yourself too hard."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly: "Uncle Qi, thank you."
"I'm leaving."
Uncle Seven put down his wine glass, smiled slightly, and his figure disappeared.
As it dissipated, Uncle Seven looked up at the sky.
He will remember that day for the rest of his life, when the pretty girl held his hand and walked into the gate of the Wu family with the hunchbacked boy.
…
Xu Jingming sat in front of the stone table with a pot of wine and two cups in front of him. His seventh uncle had disappeared.
As long as the devil's obsession exists, he will be immortal.
When the obsession dissipates, it disappears completely.
"Seventh Uncle's obsession is to protect the young master. Now that the young master doesn't need his protection anymore, he insisted on staying a little longer, probably because he wanted to tell him everything and give him some caring instructions." Xu Jingming whispered, "Should we do something we like, something that makes us happy?"
This was Uncle Seven’s last wish.
"Seventh Uncle, you and I have been together for more than ten years, and it is also a fate." Xu Jingming said softly, "This farewell in the Demon-Suppressing World is just the beginning of a long life in the future. You and I will meet again one day."
…
A galaxy far, far away.
A huge ring-shaped building completely surrounds a star. The light and heat emitted by the star at all times are also absorbed and utilized by the ring-shaped building.
There are countless lives inside the huge circular building.
In one of the rooms on the 132nd floor of area B37.
In a nutrition cabin, a man with messy hair suddenly sat up straight. He was a little confused: "Wu Qi? Qi Weike?" Soon, he was completely awake.
"It's been 53 years?"
The man with messy hair sat in front of the mirror, trimmed his hair and beard, and soon turned into a vicissitudes of life middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face and some white hair.
"I was still young before I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I was already over a hundred years old. Should I call myself Qi Weike or Wu Qi now? Qi Weike's life is too boring, while Wu Qi's life is happier."
"Anyway, no one cares about Ziwick."
"From now on, I'll be called Wu Qi."
Wu Qi looked at himself in the mirror.
In reality, he was originally a resident of a mineral planet, and grew up in the wind, sand and metal. The mineral planet... everything was for mining! The living environment here was much .
Who his father is is unknown.
After his mother gave birth to him, she finally accumulated enough points and immediately applied for transfer! Without any attachment, she abandoned Wu Qi and left this hopeless mineral planet.
Wu Qi worked very hard on the Mineral Planet, but no woman was interested in him. It was not until he was 62 years old that he accumulated enough points and was able to apply to leave the Mineral Planet.
When he first arrived at the life planet, Wu Qi looked at the wonderful world, but due to his poverty, he soon encountered various setbacks.
The news of "recruiting native residents of the virtual world" made Wu Qi excited.
"My life is too boring. Maybe the virtual world will be exciting." Wu Qi submitted an application and was sent here with many other people.
The virtual world he entered was called the Demon-Subduing World.
In order to enjoy such a world more, Wu Qi chose to give birth to a five-year-old child, and chose the contract period of 'eighty years'. If everything goes smoothly, the child should be able to live to eighty-five years old.
He stayed in the demon-suppressing world for 53 years. When his obsession faded, he woke up in reality. His real age was over 100 years old, and he had a lot of white hair.
"Let's go out and take a look." Wu Qi walked out of the house and walked along the corridor.
After walking for a while and taking a sightseeing elevator, we soon reached the outermost area.
The huge sky dome isolation layer greatly weakens the light and heat of stars.
Wu Qi sat down and looked at the huge stars in front of him through the sky isolation layer.
"Compared to reality, the past 53 years in the Demon-Slaying World have been quite exciting. The young lady was really good to me and has been taking care of me since I entered the Wu Mansion. I learned martial arts there and got my start in martial arts." Wu Qi smiled, "It was also in the Demon-Slaying World that I tasted a lot of fine wines and a lot of delicious food. The young master really likes delicious food. I wonder if he will still go out to look for delicious food from all over the world after I leave."
"Miss, are you okay in real life?" Wu Qi was a little worried and concerned.
He has lived for over a hundred years, and he is still so concerned about one person.
"Miss and Master, will I be able to see them again?" Wu Qi thought silently.
Buzz——
Light and shadow gathered nearby, forming a woman in a gray uniform.
Wu Qi turned his head and looked.
"Hello, Qi Weike, or should I call you Wu Qi?" The woman smiled and said, "I am Qu Nuowei, the first administrator of District B37, and I am also from Qingfang Civilization."
Wu Qi nodded slightly.
"Congratulations, you have made a huge gain in the Demon-Subduing World. Your combat bonus has reached 37 times." The woman smiled and said, "With this, you will become a seventh-level star life in a short time."
"At the same time, your obsession can make you a demon, and you also have a talent for spiritual power, which will be cultivated by the Qingfang civilization. With the combination of your talents in actual combat and spiritual power, you are expected to become an eighth-level starry sky life." said the woman.
"Oh." Wu Qi nodded.
The woman was stunned. Isn't she excited at all?
The obsession of a demon is usually quite extreme and useless in reality. It is necessary to reach the obsession of a 'celestial demon' to have enough self-control and be worth cultivating.
People like Wu Qi, who have extremely high combat bonuses and spiritual talents, are true talents.
"Do you have any data on my experience in the demon-suppressing world?" Wu Qi asked.
"certainly."
The woman nodded. "We have records of the experiences of every indigenous resident. The entire circular sky dome where you live now is inhabited by volunteers sent by the Qingfang civilization from thousands of star systems. There are over a trillion of them! In the Demon-Subduing World, all the indigenous residents of Qing... are in this circular sky dome."
Wu Qi was startled and asked, "Can I meet the young lady and the young master?"
He had no attachment to the real world, but the young lady and the young master in the Demon-Subduing World were the two most important people in his life.
"In theory, their real identities cannot be revealed." The woman smiled, "But your young lady also lives in this circular sky in reality. As long as you join the Demon-Suppressing Group and have enough contribution points, you can submit an application and meet your young lady."
Wu Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked again, "What about my young master?"
"Your young master?" The woman was slightly startled.
According to Wu Qi's experience.
That young master is a demon-conqueror! Although she could check Wu Qi's experience, she couldn't check the young master's detailed information. She only knew that... the young master's demon-conqueror's strength had surpassed Wu Qi , which was why Wu Qi's obsession dissipated.
That young master is no less capable than a demon-slayer at the ninth level?
"Your young master is a big shot in real life." The woman said, "When you become an eighth-level star life, you can submit an application to the higher-ups. Maybe there will be a chance that you can get in touch with him."
"Big shot?" Wu Qi was startled. "Very big?"
"Even if you become an eighth-level starry sky life, you may not be as good as him." The woman said. There was no need to hide too much.
Because after Wu Qi breaks through in the future, he will soon know that such a powerful demon-conqueror... represents the eighth level limit. Moreover, he can fight across levels, which is not comparable to ordinary eighth level limits.
"I'm afraid I'm not as good as him even if I become an eighth-level star life?" Wu Qi smiled happily, "That's good, that's good."
"Would you like to join the Demon-Suppressing Group?" the woman asked.
"Yes." Wu Qi nodded.
He had learned about the Demon-Suppressing Group through the Internet. It was a group company officially established by humans in the universe. Its tentacles had penetrated multiple cosmic domains and its strength was unfathomable.
The woman smiled and said, "Okay, a working group from the group will come to pick you up soon. This is my personal contact information, you can contact me at any time if you have any questions." Soon the administrator's projection disappeared.
Wu Qi sat there, in a very good mood: "I hope to meet the young lady, and the young master is much more capable than me. Everything is great."
