Chapter 194: Becoming King Again
After the two men rushed out of the door, they saw a young man with a clear and handsome face, drunk as mud, being beaten and kicked by a big man.
The two did not rush forward to stop him, but instead opened their heavenly eyes, that is, the Eye of God.
Upon looking, both men frowned; because when they scanned the man who was hitting and the woman beside him, they could see their past and future lives, but they could not see the past or future of the youth on the ground, as if some force was blocking their divine abilities.
The two looked at each other, puzzled, and simultaneously exclaimed, “Huh~?”
This was because when the boy and the old monk looked at each other, it was the same as looking at the youth on the ground; their heavenly secrets were also hidden.
Logically speaking, when two people with similar realms examine each other’s past and present lives, both the past and present lives should be displayed, but only the future experiences and the trajectory of the next life would be hidden.
But this? Not only could they not see each other’s future life trajectories, but they couldn’t even see their past and present lives.
Although they were unclear in their hearts, the two did not investigate on the spot. Instead, they watched the youth being beaten from the side.
This was not because they were cold-blooded; although they could not discern the youth’s origins, they could see that the aggressor was an honest and dutiful person who was often bullied in his past life. In this life, through the cycle of reincarnation, he had transformed into a violent person. Although he had a fierce aura, he would not go too far, so the two did not intervene.
After waiting for about ten minutes, just as the two expected, the aggressor, fearing trouble, grabbed the woman beside him and left.
Only then did the boy and the old monk help the youth on the ground up. The youth was bruised and swollen, muttering, “Wife, wife, please don’t go, okay? You are the first person I’ve liked in this life. I will definitely marry you, and I can take good care of you…”
“Ugh~…” As he spoke, he vomited.
However, the boy and the old monk were not disgusted. The boy formed a sword finger and pointed it at the youth’s forehead.
“Buzz~!”
Visible mist emanated from the youth’s entire body, and soon he sobered up.
After sobering up, he saw the two supporting him and looked at them blankly, “Who are you? Where am I?”
The boy and the old monk exchanged glances, still looking at the youth with some confusion.
Seeing that the two did not answer his questions, the youth continued, “Thank you. You don’t need to worry about me. I’ll walk by myself. Sigh…”
Seeing this, the boy said, “Brother, do you want to drink? We are just drinking, why don’t you join us?”
The youth appeared somewhat absent-minded. Upon hearing that there would be drinking, he did not refuse and let them help him into the restaurant.
After the three sat down, the young man’s mood was somewhat low. He drank two bottles of beer by himself, and then politely introduced himself to the two:
“My name is Jie Wuchen, I am twenty-eight years old. Thank you two brothers for treating me to drinks.”
Hearing this, the boy and the old monk also stated their names:
“Wu You.”
“Liao Chen.”
After a few bottles of wine, the young man named Jie Wuchen gradually opened up:
“Please don’t laugh at me, brothers. I am trapped by love and cannot let go. Sigh… My first romance was an online relationship. We chatted for a very, very long time. Finally, we met in person. I thought I would have a dreamlike ending, but reality defeated me again and again. That girl deceived me. I forgave her time and time again, only to realize later that she was still deceiving me, and also deceiving her own family. By chance, I received a call from her mother, who was furious and told her to go home. I was afraid something might be wrong, so I followed. However, sigh… it was beyond my imagination that I was true to her and honest with her family. Seeing my sincerity, her family bullied me and forcibly separated us. Not long after, the girl, under her family’s arrangement, got a new boyfriend. At that moment, my heart died, truly died. I vowed that the past me was no longer me, and since then, I have lived like a walking corpse.
A few years later, at work, I met a second girl. She seemed very sensible to me, but unexpectedly, when I gave her my wholehearted attention, she changed, hurting me repeatedly. I always believed that people would eventually change for the better, and I endured it again and again, only to be so battered that I was neither human nor ghost.
When I met the third girl, I let go of the previous two. I thought this would definitely be my final destination, and it would certainly not be like the previous two times, plunging me into the abyss again. But, sigh… I really don’t understand the human heart, nor can I fathom it. Mysteriously, we were deceived and separated. It wasn’t much to be separated, but then, inexplicably, I was resented… I… sigh…”
After Jie Wuchen finished speaking, the three sighed in unison: “Alas… What is love in the human world, that it drives people to die for it.”
The three looked at each other. They looked at each other. No matter how they looked, they felt that fate was playing tricks on them, because their experiences were so similar.
Then the three said separately:
“Infinite Celestial Venerable.”
“Amitabha.”
“Let’s drink, let’s drink.”
They drank until past midnight. The restaurant owner was almost unable to serve them and was yawning constantly, but he couldn’t bear to kick out these three lovelorn men, as he had heard much of what they said.
It is said that there are still many kind-hearted people in this world. The owner added some more dishes for the three, tossed the keys on the table, and went home after work, telling them to drink slowly and to lock the door for him when they left. Cough cough cough.
The three felt like they had known each other for a long time, with a mysterious feeling entwining their hearts. In a daze, they all had an illusion, as if the two people in front of them were another self.
At one moment, Wu You, the boy, would talk about some embarrassing stories from his past, making the other two laugh heartily.
Then Monk Liao Chen would follow up with some very funny jokes he had heard.
As for Jie Wuchen, he would sometimes break into tears, remembering something, and at other times, he would be giggling and laughing heartily.
The three continued drinking until noon the next day. Unknowingly, the boy fell asleep.
When the boy woke up, it was already around 8 p.m. that evening. Liao Chen and Jie Wuchen were long gone.
The boy’s head felt heavy, but he didn’t use his divine abilities to dispel the alcoholic qi. After paying the bill, he staggered out of the restaurant.
Unknowingly, large snowflakes began to fall from the sky. The boy reached out to catch them, watched the snowflakes in his hand melt into water from his body heat, and smiled.
He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then, with a loud laugh, said, “If I wanted to win, I could become King again at any time!”
