Chapter 2 — Pawn Shop Changes Destiny

I shook my head slightly, giving her a warning.

“Because the lady and the Prime Minister are the same.”

“There is not a single feature on the merit book.”

She was so scared that she staggered back.

"How is that possible? Why don't I even have it? Please check again, check again!"

She was unwilling and immediately grabbed the Mortal Ministry to check for herself. But the result of course still disappointed her. I asked coldly:

“Madam, do you still want to pledge?”

Her eyes turned red and she turned to look at Co Cuu Tu.

"Miss Linh, please check Cuu Tu. It definitely has merit."

No need to look. The first time I saw Co Cuu Tu, I used my spiritual sense to probe half of his life. Although his merit book was not empty, that small amount of merit was completely insufficient to continue Co Minh's fate.

“He can't either.”

I glanced at Khuong Thanh Nguyet.

“The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, everyone's life has a destiny.”

“If you want to continue your destiny, you must immediately make a decision and reverse the universe.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Co Cuu Tu pulled my hand in dissatisfaction.

“My mother fasted every day and recited Buddha's name, distributed porridge to the poor, raised money for temples, and even took in orphans.”

“On what basis does my mother have no merit?”

I looked at him coldly, only feeling funny. Khuong Thanh Nguyet's fake good deeds can fool people in the world, but they cannot fool us. She did those things just because she was insecure. She wants to use good deeds to atone for her past sins. I tried to suppress my hatred, didn't want to continue wasting words, just wanted to confirm whether they saved Co Minh or not. I want this family that appears to be fatherly and filial, this loving husband and wife to be completely shattered by the choice of life and death. I want Co Minh to suffer divorce and death. I don't want them to die peacefully.

“To hold or not to hold?”

Co Cuu Tu was frightened by my expression and unconsciously retreated to the side. Khuong Thanh Nguyet didn't dare look at me. Co Minh was so impatient that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Hold! I hold!”

The corner of my lips curled up. Very good. Co Minh made a choice.

“Has the prime minister chosen someone yet?”

Co Minh's face turned pale. He raised a finger. Eyes sunken due to illness fiercely swept over Khuong Thanh Nguyet and her daughter. Finally, that finger stopped on Khuong Thanh Nguyet's body.

“She.”

“My lady will save me.”

Co Minh is truly too confident. Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, the great tribulation comes where each bird flies on its own. Once interests and lives are involved, few people care about that little bit of gratitude.

"Master, no! I can't! Then I will die!"

It's exactly like what we predicted. Khuong Thanh Nguyet only loves herself. She couldn't bear to give up anything. Co Minh's face immediately changed, he coughed twice.

"Lady, if I die, the Prime Minister's Palace will collapse. You can't live in peace either."

“Think carefully.”

“Do you want to keep your reputation as a good wife, or do you want after I die, the whole family will be liquidated, and life will be better than death?”

Co Minh knows how to grasp other people's weaknesses. The truth is exactly as he said. Although the glory of the Prime Minister's palace was exchanged for the lives of all living beings in Medicine Linh Coc, it was still the same The result of half of Co Minh's life carefully managing between courtiers and princes. Just that one sentence struck Khuong Thanh Nguyet's deepest fear. But she was still unwilling. She still wants to live. Khuong Thanh Nguyet knelt in front of Co Minh.

"Master, there is definitely another way. There are definitely fish in the Medicine Linh Coc."

“That day, when you left, didn't you hear…”

She hadn't finished speaking when Co Minh sternly stopped her.

"Shut up! Don't keep talking nonsense!"

Khuong Thanh Nguyet almost brought disaster on herself. Throughout the world, who doesn't know that the emperor sitting on the throne has issued an order banning all people from discussing the past? Just because he wanted to silence people and hide the fact that in order to live forever, he used cruel means to deprive the lives of tens of thousands of spiritual beings. But they didn't know that the fish they just mentioned was standing right in front of them. At any time, they can take their lives. Co Minh looked at me warily and then returned to the main topic.

"Miss Linh, no need to ask anymore."

"I have full authority to decide on my family's matters. Now immediately pledge."

He stopped for a moment.

“But only half the lifespan.”

Khuong Thanh Nguyet immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. I didn't ask the reason, I just laughed coldly in my heart.

“Okay. As long as you don't regret it.”

3 From Co Minh's eyes just now, I understand why he suddenly changed his mind. But I'm not afraid. Even if he was suspicious and wanted to repeat the old tricks, he couldn't do anything to me. My current status has surpassed the sentient beings in the three worlds. I have half mortal blood and half spiritual blood. The day Medicine Linh Coc burned down, the fire accidentally awakened the spiritual veins underground. To protect myself, my spiritual veins fuse with me. Thanks to ten thousand years of nourishment by my spiritual veins, I have become the only demigod in the world. But we still follow the laws of the three realms and the rules of the human world. I want to use mortal laws to punish their crimes. I want them to pay the price.

“You must make a contract and swear to heaven and earth that the transfer of life comes entirely from your own volition.”

Co Minh and Khuong Thanh Nguyet looked at each other. Khuong Thanh Nguyet walked to the bed, bent down and whispered a few words to him.
