Chapter 136 Showdown, I Am Also a Recipient, the Lord of No Appearance and Thousand Appearances (4K)

The sun shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, illuminating half of Xue Jing's face as he sat on the sofa.

He crossed his arms, his face showing a thoughtful look, thinking about something.

After a long while, there was a knock on the door.

The sound was very light, Xue Jing came back to his senses, but did not get up, but moved his fingers.

The shadow at the door was drawn out of the black airflow, condensed into a materialized shadow hand, and turned the doorknob.

Xue Wan, who was holding the cat, saw the door opened, her face was a little uneasy, she was about to speak, but she didn't see her brother.

She walked in doubtfully, passed the corridor in the room, and came to the living room, only to see Xue Jing sitting on the sofa, half of his body shrouded in shadow.

He didn't say anything, just sat there, shrouded in shadow, only half of his face looked at Xue Wan with a calm expression.

That posture had an inexplicable majesty like a gangster godfather, which made Xue Wan, who was already guilty, look a little weaker.

"Sister, please sit down."

Xue Jing said in a flat tone.

Xue Wan: "..."

She let the cat go, and then walked carefully to Xue Jing.

But she did not sit down on the chair or sofa, but knelt down in front of Xue Jing, holding his knees with both hands.

"Woof~"

Xue Wan woofed in a very slender voice, like a puppy trying to please its owner. Her pretty face had a very obvious cute expression. She found the most lovely angle and looked up at Xue Jing from below. Her big, radiant eyes were full of innocence.

Xue Jing: "..."

For this shameless woman, it was completely stress-free to put on such a tail-wagging and begging posture for her younger brother.

Ever since she lost to her younger brother in a game when she was a child, she gave up her dignity as a sister when she woofed without hesitation under the oath of "If you don't pay, you are a dog".

From then on, every time she did something wrong, she would pretend to be a dog and beg for forgiveness in front of Xue Jing.

"Be honest and sit down." Xue Jing had long since stopped buying her tricks, and just said it expressionlessly.

"Oh..." Xue Wan's face was full of obedience. She took her hands off Xue Jing's knees, kept kneeling, moved back twice, and then sat upright, just like a child sitting in a row to eat fruit.

"Do you know you are wrong?"

"I know, I was wrong, woof~" Xue Wan admitted his mistake without hesitation.

Xue Jing had no expression on his face: "What's wrong?"

Xue Wan kept kneeling, put her hands on her thighs, and said obediently:

"When you encounter something, you hide it from your family, and you think you can solve it yourself, but you end up hurting your brother."

Xue Jing sighed: "Don't you understand it very well?"

Although these are the classic three tricks of this man, it is indeed difficult for him to get angry when he sees her actively admitting her mistakes and taking lessons seriously.

After thinking for a while, Xue Jing said, "When did it happen?"

"Two months ago... my mentor, Professor Lu, showed me a performance that made seeds bloom instantly..."

Xue Wan honestly told the story.

"After watching it, she asked me if I wanted to learn it. I said yes, and she took me directly to the ceremony of receiving the gift..."

She scratched her head, and a touch of cuteness appeared on her pretty face: "I thought it was just a magic trick, but I didn't expect it to be real, hahaha, hahaha, haha..."

Under Xue Jing's expressionless gaze, her laughter became smaller and smaller, and she returned to her well-behaved appearance.

Xue Jing thought for a while and continued to ask, "How do you feel now? What is the alienation rate?"

Xue Wan was surprised and said, "You even know this, Master Jing."

"I caught the woman just now and asked a lot of questions." Xue Jing said.

"Woman? What does she look like?" Xue Wan asked with his head tilted.

"The left eye is colored."

"Is it Sister Aqin? You actually caught Sister Aqin?"

Xue Wan was shocked and admired, "You are so amazing, Master Jing!"

Although her expression was deliberately exaggerated and flattering, she was also genuinely surprised.

Just after being separated from her brother by her instructor, she received a call from her classmate, saying that something happened at the school gate and asked her to come and watch the fun. Only then did she realize that something was wrong and hurried to the scene.

After arriving at the scene, she saw obvious traces of battle from the recipients of the Flower God Society. Combined with the time Xue Jing left school just now, she thought that something had happened to her brother.

Then she received a call from Xue Jing and rushed to the hotel.

She was not very clear about the specific process of the incident.

And as far as she knew, the Nagucha plant cultivated by Sister Aqin was almost the absolute nemesis of martial artists.

As a brother of a martial artist, he could actually beat her and even catch her...

"That person said he wanted me to join the sect, perform a consecration ceremony on me, and make me believe in your Lord of Thousand Reds and Ten Thousand Beauties."

"I didn't agree, so she tried to force me to buy it and tie me back, and then the matter was settled."

"It was your mentor, Professor Lu, who ordered her."

Xue Jing explained roughly.

After listening to it, Xue Wan basically understood the reason for the whole thing.

There was a complex look in her eyes, and she said softly: "Don't worry, Jing, this kind of thing won't happen again... Sister will protect you."

Xue Jing coughed dryly.

"Speaking of this, I also have something to tell you."

After thinking for a while, he said:

"In fact, I didn't beat that woman with martial arts."

Xue Wan looked puzzled, "Ah?"

Then, as if thinking of something, Xue Wan stood up directly with a shocked face and slapped the table next to him.

"You can't beat her, so you sell your body to seduce her, and then take advantage of her in bed to fight back--!!"

Xue Jing's mouth twitched, and he directly used the shadow flame to activate a palm, slapped her head, and made a crisp sound.

"What are you thinking about? You are so stupid."

Xue Jing said helplessly.

Xue Wan covered her head, looked at the floating hand of the shadow flame next to her, and blinked.

"What is this?"

Xue Jing crossed his hands and put them on his chin: "Sister, I'm showing my cards."

"I am also a recipient!"

Xue Wan's eyes widened: "You too...?"

"How could this happen..."

She murmured.

The recipient is a very dangerous profession. You have to live in the fear of being polluted and alienated for the rest of your life. You don't know when you will lose yourself and become a monster.

It is even more dangerous to contact this world hidden in the dark. The friction between different sects, the hunting of the semi-official madman organization, and the competition for limited positions on the "ladder" are more than life and death.

What she least wants to see is that her family is dragged into this world by her.

But her most cherished brother... unexpectedly became a recipient.

Xue Wan did not doubt Xue Jing's words. The floating black flame right hand next to her was the best evidence. This was obviously an 'unconventional' power that could not be mastered by ordinary people.

Her eyes became serious and she asked:

"A Jing, which sect held the gifting ceremony for you? Which god blessed you?"

Xue Jing blinked and said the reason he had just thought of.

"There is no sect. In fact, I don't even know why I became a recipient."

"I only know that the god who blessed me is named..."

"——The Lord of No Appearance and Thousand Appearances."

Xue Jing said slowly.

This name... he made it up.

Just now, he had thought of it.

It was inevitable that his divine skills would be exposed, and he had to find a reasonable reason to explain the source of his abilities.

And with the power and unreasonableness of the divine skills, only the equally unreasonable recipient of the power of the god could explain it.

Therefore, he decided to package himself as a recipient!

Then, what kind of recipient of the blessing of a foreign god must be able to explain the many abilities he possesses?

It’s okay now, there are only two obvious skills, Shadow Flame and Planting Contract, but he will definitely activate more divine skills in the future.

There must be a new explanation at that time - then just set up an ability that can explain everything from the beginning.

So, he made up a non-existent foreign god - the Lord of No Face and Thousand Faces.

The so-called "no face" means that this god does not actually exist and has no true body.

The so-called "thousand faces" is to explain the many abilities he will have.

A god with a thousand looks and a thousand abilities, but actually does not exist and has no true body.

That is - the Lord of No Face and Thousand Faces.

"Lord of No Face and Thousand Faces?" Xue Wan looked thoughtful and then shook his head.

"I haven't heard of it..."

Xue Jing remained calm, "That's not normal. There are so many alien gods, you can't know them all."

After a pause, he continued:

"In fact, I became a recipient not long ago, and I don't know much about it. I even learned from the woman just now that the recipients will be polluted and alienated."

"In addition--"

Before Xue Jing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Wan's surprised voice.

"Wait, Jing, you just said that you didn't go through the gifting ceremony, and you don't even know why you became a recipient?"

Xue Jing blinked, "That's right."

Xue Wan's eyes were thoughtful, and he murmured, "Could it be that he is a natural recipient... the son of God."

Xue Jing exclaimed, puzzled, "The son of God? What is this saying?"

What does he correspond to when he made up something for convenience?

Xue Wan shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, I just heard the instructor talk about this by chance."

"Generally, the recipients are 'people who choose God'. People flatter God, offer their faith, hold a gifting ceremony, and God responds to them, and they become recipients."

"But the natural recipients are different. They are 'God who chooses people'. After seeing the person they like, God condescends to choose him and gives him divine power. Therefore, they are called 'God's Chosen Sons'."

"According to my mentor, there are no more than 20 such natural recipients in the world."

Xue Jing nodded and said, "It sounds amazing."

"It's amazing, this kind of God's Chosen People don't need to hold a gifting ceremony, don't have to consider competing for the position of the 'ladder', and don't have the trouble of pollution and alienation. As time goes by, they can naturally 'climb the ladder' and become stronger..."

Xue Wan's eyes showed worry.

"But there is a problem."

"All the chosen sons of God will suddenly disappear without a trace at some point in time. This is called the 'disappearance phenomenon'."

"The reason for the disappearance is still unknown. Why they disappear, where they go, and even the law of the disappearance time are all unknown."

"Currently, the longest time that the chosen son of God has existed in the world is forty-six years old."

Xue Wan put the nail of her thumb into her mouth and bit it tightly with her neat silver teeth.

"If you are the chosen son of God, then..."

Xue Jing patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, who can predict what will happen in the future?"

He didn't expect that this statement would simply add psychological burden to Xue Wan.

But now he can only make the best of a mistake... He can't tell the skill panel, right?

This is his deepest secret, something he will never tell even if he dies, and he will never expose it even to his family.

"Put my problem aside for now and solve your problem first." Xue Jing said softly.

"My problem?" Xue Wan was puzzled.

Xue Jing asked, "Where is your stigma?"

"Uh..." Xue Wan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.

Seeing her like this, Xue Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, it can't be a sensitive place, right?"

That would be a bit troublesome...

"Not really."

Xue Wan hesitated for a while, but still gritted her teeth, put her hands on the hem of her shirt, lifted it up a little, revealing her slender waist.

Xue Jing looked over and found something unusual on her belly button.

On the beautiful belly button that stood upright because of her slender figure, there was a red octahedral gem, which seemed to be a belly button nail.

Although it looked good, it was... a coquettish and slutty feeling.

After just showing Xue Jing a look, Xue Wan immediately put down her clothes and blushed:

"Okay, okay, don't look at it."

It was embarrassing enough to be seen by her own brother with this strange stigma.

Xue Jing shook his head, and directly took action, lifted up her clothes, revealing her slender waist and belly button.

"You, what are you doing!"

Xue Wan's eyes widened.

"I am your sister, my real sister!"

Xue Jing rolled his eyes: "Can you not think so low, what can I do to you?"

"Just now, I tested an ability of His Majesty the 'Lord of No Appearance and Thousand Appearances' from the woman of your colleague, which can solve your pollution and alienation problem."

"Okay, don't move, let me see!"

The cat who had been watching from the beginning to now had an anthropomorphic face of speechlessness.

"Just look, why are you so fierce to me..." Xue Wan muttered, stopped struggling, and turned her face away with a look of letting her be picked.

Xue Jing held her hem with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand touched her ruby-like holy mark.

[Divine matter detected, absorbing divinity...]

"How does it feel?" Xue Jing asked.

Xue Wan closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then said:

"It seems... like something is being sucked away."
