Four Lifetimes Dream

After the wedding, Li Yin and his sister returned to Li Kingdom the next day, while Li Sheng and Luo Ci Yan stayed in Qi Kingdom for a few days.

In the past few days, the couple basically visited the entire Qi State.

In early winter, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. After a few days, the streets and alleys turned white.

Li Sheng was walking alone on the street, looking at the falling snowflakes, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at the door of an inn, and she went in without thinking.

"Ahan."

Entering the private room of the inn, the scenery that came into her sight made her feel dazed for a moment.

There was a man in red standing by the window. After hearing the voice behind him, he slowly turned around. When he saw Li Sheng, he suddenly smiled:

"Master, I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still be willing to call me Ahan."

The man was Jing Han.

When Li Sheng saw Jing Han this time, she was unexpectedly calm.

There was no expression on her face, she just walked to the window and looked at the heavy snow outside.

"You deliberately brought me here, so it shouldn't just be to make me recall the past, right?"

Li Sheng's voice was very flat, and no emotion could be heard in it.

"Master, looking at this scene, do you feel a sense of déjà vu?" Jing Han stood beside her, and he no longer had the evil aura he had in previous times.

"Indeed, I am familiar with it." Li Sheng did not refute, and his tone was still light.

"But this reminds me of a person. I remember how he went from being a kind-hearted boy on a snowy night to a heartless lackey at the feet of others."

"Heh..." Jing Han suddenly laughed, "Master, if you want to scold me, just do it directly. Why waste your breath like this?"

Li Sheng smiled brightly upon hearing this: "It seems that you have a clear understanding of your own position."

This scene really reminded her of something that happened in her previous life.

That year, it was a snowy night just like now. But in this snowy night, two children were wearing thin and tattered short-sleeved shirts, barefoot, squatting in a corner of the street begging.

They hadn't eaten for two days and were extremely hungry. However, few people went out in the winter, so they could not get any food. It was very cold, so they huddled in the corner and hugged each other for warmth.

They thought they would not be able to survive that snowy night, but then a man appeared and took them away.

At that time, Li Sheng thought she had met a kind person, but little did she know that was the beginning of purgatory in her life.

After she and Jinghan were taken back, the man gave each of them two white flour buns. At that time, Li Sheng was happy for a long time because of those two buns.

Later, she and Jing Han were assigned to the same area, and their purgatory-like life began from then on.

From living with snakes, insects, rats and ants in the beginning, to competing with wolves for food later, to finally testing various drugs and poisons...

In just over a year, Li Sheng had survived many life-threatening situations. The only thing she could be thankful for was that she made rapid progress. However, Jing Han was not so lucky. Since he was not proficient in any aspect, he nearly lost his life several times. In the end, it was Li Sheng who brought him back from the brink of death time and time again.

After that, perhaps the old man was impressed by Li Sheng's extraordinary talent, or knew the special nature of Li Sheng's blood, so he began to arrange for Jing Han to become Li Sheng's disciple.

Perhaps because she and Jing Han had depended on each other in the past, Li Sheng agreed without hesitation. She also did her best to guide Jing Han, teaching him everything she knew without reservation.

About a year passed, and Jinghan's wings had become much stronger, but he didn't know since when, he became one with the old man and became a dog at his feet that could only wag its tail and beg for mercy. By the time Li Sheng realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Since then, Li Sheng started the second purgatory in her life.

The cold and dark laboratory, the beastly, insane old monster, the bloodletting and experiments day after day, year after year, made her hate this world, but at that time, she didn't even have the right to die...

Li Sheng still remembers that pain vividly and cannot forget it.

"Master, in a place where the strong prey on the weak, we just chose different paths!"

He is not like Li Sheng. He does not have her talent, nor her perseverance. If he does not make the right choice, then only death awaits him!

He admitted that Li Sheng had done him a favor, but compared to the favor, he wanted to stay alive more!

After all, kindness cannot be eaten, and dignity, personality and morality cannot keep him alive!

So when that old man came to him, he chose to betray Li Sheng without any hesitation. She was sent to that laboratory, and it was even his credit!

At the beginning, he felt uneasy, guilty and self-blaming, but later he found that the more Li Sheng was tortured and the more pain she suffered, the happier and more relieved he felt in his heart!

Only by looking at her in pain could he clearly feel that he was still alive and still a human being!

As a disciple taught by Li Sheng personally, he later even joined the team that tortured her. He used the skills she taught him on her little by little!

At that time, he was thinking that Li Sheng would never have thought that what she taught him personally would eventually become a dagger that hurt him the most!

"Yes, the paths are different," Li Sheng nodded and smiled, with a slightly sad smile on his face.

"I just didn't expect that the person I taught would eventually turn into a beast!"

After listening to this, Jing Han was not annoyed, but laughed:

"Master, everyone has desires, and desires are endless. You may not have experienced this in your previous life, but now you have experienced it."

In her previous life, Li Sheng had no desires or needs. Basically, apart from living, she could be said to be a person without desires or demands. Therefore, she would never be able to experience the comfort of getting what she wanted and the madness of pursuing the next object!

But it was different in the book, Luo Ci Yan was her weak spot, because of Luo Ci Yan, she not only fell in love with him, but also had sexual desires and needs, so, she must have experienced all the feelings here that she had never experienced before.

"Desires can be divided into good desires and bad desires. To benefit others for oneself is good, while to harm others for oneself is bad. At the very worst, you may not benefit others, but you must not harm others either."

Li Sheng's eyebrows turned cold, and he looked at Jing Han with an icy voice.

"Jinghan, your desires and happiness are all based on the flesh and blood of others, and even on the lives of others. This cannot be covered up by just the word 'desire'!"

"Don't forget that the end of desire is a person's nature. If your nature is like this, how can you say that it is caused by desire?"

A person who is extremely bad cannot hide the evil in his bones no matter how hard he tries.

All experiences in life, whether good or bad, are just catalysts that stimulate a person's nature!

Jing Han is such a person. No matter how kind and innocent he was in the early stage, he could not hide the evil nature in his bones. No matter how much suffering he endured, it could not be a reason for him to do anything to achieve his goals!

Jing Han smiled and nodded, then bowed to Li Sheng and said, "I have to say, Master is still the same master as before, always likes to hit the nail on the head. Today, I, your disciple, have learned a lot from you!"

Then, he withdrew his hand, his smile faded, and continued,

"But it's a pity, Master, you can't beat me!"

"You brought me here not just to reminisce about the past, did you?"

Li Sheng left the window, walked to the coffee table, sat down, and poured a cup of tea.

"Of course not!" Jing Han also walked to the table, sat down opposite Li Sheng, and said meaningfully,

"Of course I came to see if Master is okay!"

Li Sheng took a sip of tea, a hint of annoyance rising between her brows, as if she didn't want to listen to Jing Han's nonsense.

She raised her eyes to glance at Jing Han's expression and said casually:

"It seems that the backlash effect of Dream Devouring Technique is quite good!"

Jinghan hasn't come out during this period of time. I guess he has suffered a lot from the backlash!

"The magic created by the master is naturally good. Even the backlash effect can force people into a desperate situation!"

Jing Han looked at Li Sheng as he spoke, a rare hint of curiosity tinging his evil voice.

"However, I just can't understand why Master can be just like an ordinary person when he obviously has no more love roots?"

Jing Han has been puzzled by this. He originally thought that Li Sheng's love roots were fully developed, so he failed and suffered the backlash of the dream-eating technique.

But at the first sight of Li Sheng, he knew that her love had indeed completely dissipated. As for why she did not lose her memory, lose her emotions, and become a person without desires, he really could not figure out what went wrong!

"Who knows?" Li Sheng shrugged indifferently, "Maybe you've done too many evil things, and God can't stand it anymore!"

"Hehehe..." Jing Han laughed sinisterly after hearing her answer, "Since when did Li Sheng, who doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas but only believes in himself, start to believe in something as illusory as God?"

In this world, perhaps anyone would believe in gods and Buddhas, but it was absolutely impossible for her, Li Sheng!

"If you accumulate more virtue, maybe you will find out!"

Li Sheng did not want to answer Jing Han's question. She put down the teacup in her hand and continued calmly,

“But Jinghan, I really think that the Merit System is very suitable for someone like you who is evil to the core!”

"Really? I also think I should do more good deeds!" Jing Han laughed instead of getting angry, with a sinister look in his eyes. "After all, the more good deeds you accumulate, the closer you will be to your death, Master!"

Jing Han was not surprised that Li Sheng knew that he had a merit system. They were both people who traveled through books. He did not have enough authority to see through her, but she could not fail to see through him!

"Then I, sir," Li Sheng paused for a moment, then turned the teacup in his hand upside down on the table, and twitched the corners of his lips, "I will wait for good news!"

"Jiayin? Master, don't you think too highly of yourself?"

Although Jing Han had gotten used to Li Sheng's indifferent look, he still couldn't help feeling angry when he saw him again after such a long time.

"I don't know whether I think highly of you or not. I only know that Jinghan, you will always be like this in front of me."

As he spoke, Li Sheng slowly raised his hand, then raised his thumb, and finally slowly lowered his thumb down in front of Jing Han!

Jing Han: “…”

For some reason, the breath was stuck in my throat and I couldn't go up or down!

After taking a deep breath, Jing Han finally found his voice, but it still sounded a little broken:

"Li Sheng, no matter how powerful you are, what does it matter? Now, I can't touch you, and similarly, you can't kill me!"

"I don't intend to kill you now." Li Sheng smiled, bloodthirsty intent revealed between his lips.

"It's very late, so I'm leaving first. When I came here, I brought a gift for my disciple. It's just a small token of my appreciation. So I don't have to kowtow three times and nine times!"

After saying that, Li Sheng stood up and left!

Now Jinghan is protected by the system and has been infected with the luck of the male and female protagonists. No matter how powerful she is, she can't kill him!

You can't kill him, but it's okay to let him suffer a little!

As soon as Li Sheng left, Jing Han felt his scalp tingling and an ominous premonition came to his mind!

Before he could figure out the meaning of Li Sheng's words, he realized that his whole body was stiff and he couldn't move at all!

Then, his whole body felt as if it was being eaten by thousands of ants, and dense pain spread all over the body. However, he was unable to move. His body gradually began to become cold, as if all the blood in his body had solidified!

Jing Han is all too familiar with this feeling!

Isn’t this what the backlash effect of Dream Eater feels like?

Damn it, he had clearly already broken the backlash effect, so why was it coming back again?

When did Li Sheng start setting up this trap? He didn't even notice it!

Moreover, his intuition told him that this time it was not just a backlash!

Sure enough, immediately afterwards, Jinghan's body stood up uncontrollably, and then knelt straight on the ground. The moment his knees touched the floor, there was a loud "bang" sound!

At that moment, Jing Han seemed to hear the sound of his bones breaking.

However, this was not the end yet. Jing Han, with his body stiff and enduring heart-wrenching pain, kowtowed towards the door like a puppet!

After kowtowed three times, he stood up again, stood straight, knelt down again with a "bang", and continued to kowtow!

Only after he completed the three bows and nine kowtows as Li Sheng said, did the power that controlled him disappear!

After the three bows and nine kowtows, not to mention his knees, Jinghan's forehead was covered in blood, and his skull might even be fractured!

At the moment he fell down, Jinghan felt as if he saw his grandmother waving at him!

At this moment, the merit system hidden in Jinghan's consciousness trembled as it looked at Jinghan's miserable condition.

What a cruel woman!

This must have caused a concussion, right? He might even become a fool!

And this knee, wow, the bones are all broken. If he is not treated in time, Jinghan will definitely become a cripple!

Double torture of body and mind, so cruel!

After the Merit System finished sighing, it came out and emitted a burst of white light, sending Jinghan away from the inn.

After all, he is my host. If he doesn't have a good life, I won't have a good life either!

It’s better to send him to the doctor as soon as possible, otherwise if he becomes disabled or stupid, it will be a big trouble!
