Chapter 278: The Sixth Child of Destiny

Great Tang.

Yangzhou.

“Could this be a case of fools getting lucky?”

Kou Zhong gazed at the sky, his mind shaken.

He was an orphan, relying on Xu Ziling since childhood, almost like a beggar.

But if he had that much money, he definitely wouldn’t be like Guo Jing, giving gold, sable coats, and Ferghana horses to a beggar he just met.

At most, he would treat the beggar to a meal and some travel expenses.

“That’s called great wisdom appearing foolish!”

Xu Ziling said.

“Tch, I think that kid probably discovered Huang Rong was a girl, knew the little beggar was a peerless beauty, so he was being so attentive. If I knew the little beggar was a beauty, I could do that too!”

Kou Zhong scoffed.

Xu Ziling rolled his eyes at him: “Enough, you’re judging a gentleman by your own petty standards!”

“But from Guo Jing winning Huang Rong’s heart, it’s clear that to win a beauty, one must be willing to invest!”

Kou Zhong ignored Xu Ziling, muttering to himself.

In the future, if he meets a beauty, he could try it out.

“Being willing to invest also requires you to have capital!”

“One day, I, Kou Zhong, will definitely make a name for myself!”

Kou Zhong’s ambition soared, his eyes exceptionally firm.

They continued to gaze at the sky.

【Afterward, during Mu Nianci’s martial arts tournament for marriage, Guo Jing, seeing injustice, fought against Yang Kang, who was using the alias Wanyan Kang at the time. He was appreciated by Wang Chu-yi of the Quanzhen Sect. Huang Rong constantly teased Hou Tonghai, who was under Yang Kang. 】

【After Wang Chu-yi was poisoned by Yang Kang’s scheme, Huang Rong and Guo Jing decided to sneak into the Prince’s residence to steal medicine. 】

【Huang Rong used schemes to constantly restrain Ouyang Ke, Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian, and others under Yang Kang. 】

【When Guo Jing fought against Wanyan Honglie’s men, he accidentally drank all of the viper blood of the Old Monster Sen, Liang Zi Weng, making him immune to all poisons and greatly increasing his power. 】

“Indeed! A Child of Destiny is different. Even if they’re foolish, they still have opportunities wherever they go. Every time they encounter danger, not only do they not die, they also gain great benefits!”

“This Guo Jing just left the desert not long ago, and he’s already won the heart of a peerless beauty. Now he’s drunk viper blood, becoming immune to all poisons and greatly increasing his power!”

“If talent is lacking, opportunity will make up for it!”

“Guo Jing’s talent isn’t actually that bad, it’s just that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are too weak!”

“If the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were capable, with Guo Jing’s hard work, his strength would definitely not be like this now!”

“I bet that before long, Guo Jing will learn peerless martial arts!”

“That’s a must. If there’s no peerless martial arts, no world-class beauty, how can he be called a Child of Destiny?”

“Now, among the Children of Destiny on the list, except for Wei Xiaobao whose martial arts are mediocre, which of the others doesn’t possess peerless martial arts?”

“As for peerless beauties, Wei Xiaobao has seven, Duan Yu has three thousand in his harem, Xu Zhu although he only married the Xixia princess, the Spirit Vulture Palace is also full of beauties. Even Bastard, there are three beauties who have had ambiguous relationships with him: Bai A’xiu, Ding Dang, and Hua Wanzi!”

“Children of Destiny, it’s so awesome!”

The crowd discussed animatedly, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

【Afterward, while Guo Jing was escaping, he was accidentally captured by Mei Chaofeng. Huang Rong recognized her and deceived her by saying that Huang Yaoshi was coming, causing Mei Chaofeng to help them escape. 】

【Soon after, Yang Tiexin and his wife reunited, but were forced to commit suicide under the pursuit of Sha Tongtian, the Ghost Gate Dragon King, and Peng Lianhu, the Thousand-Handed Butcher, who were sent by the Zhao Prince’s residence. 】

【Qiu Chuji, because of Yang Kang’s bad character, conceded defeat to the Six Freaks of Jiangnan. The agreement at Drunken Immortal Tower was considered concluded, and he challenged Sha Tongtian and others to a duel at the Misty Rain Tower in Jiaxing on the Mid-Autumn Festival in half a year. 】

【When Guo Jing and Huang Rong were traveling in Jiangnan, they coincidentally met the Beggar Sect Leader, the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong. Hong Qigong, because he had eaten Huang Rong’s delicious cooking many times and admired Guo Jing’s simple nature, taught Guo Jing the first fifteen palms of the “Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms” over the course of two months. 】

“As expected, he’s met a master and learned peerless martial arts!”

“Qiao Feng’s famous martial art is the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms. Since Guo Jing is a Child of Destiny, the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms in his hands must also be extraordinary!”

“I wonder which is more powerful, Guo Jing’s or Qiao Feng’s Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms?”

“That mainly depends on their respective cultivation levels. The higher the cultivation, the greater the power they can unleash!”

“I feel that under the same cultivation level, Qiao Feng’s Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms is more powerful than Guo Jing’s!”

“I have that feeling too!”

“……”

【On Lake Tai, Guo Jing successively encountered Lu Chengfeng, the owner of the Returning Cloud Manor, Qiu Qianzhang, who came to muddy the waters, and Huang Yaoshi, the Peach Blossom Island Lord, and killed Duan Tiande with the help of the fake Yang Kang, avenging his father. 】

【Afterward, Guo Jing and Huang Rong rescued Cheng Yaojia from Ouyang Ke, the young manor lord of White Camel Manor, who was trying to violate her. During the fight with Ouyang Ke, he learned all the moves of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and officially became Hong Qigong’s disciple. 】

“Sure enough, he met another beauty!”

“This beauty is now Guo Jing’s wife, but I wonder if she was destined to be Guo Jing’s wife in his original fate?”

“She should have been, right? For a Child of Destiny, isn’t it normal to have several wives? Like Wei Xiaobao and Duan Yu, they have too many to count on one hand!”

“I feel like Guo Jing isn’t that kind of lecherous person?”

“Which man isn’t lecherous? That’s called being a closet pervert!”

“……”

Great Ming.

Xionger Mountain.

Ku Cao Ling.

Zhao Wu, holding Mei Fanggu, watched the golden list light screen in the sky together, just like watching a movie.

The light screen was divided into two screens.

It showed Guo Jing’s original fate and his current fate.

Of course.

The changes weren’t too big. Because he intercepted Huang Rong, Cheng Yaojia successfully took the top spot and became Guo Jing’s wife. Other changes weren’t significant.

【The scene changed. Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to Peach Blossom Island together, but got separated. On the island, he met Zhou Botong, the Old Child, who had been imprisoned by Huang Yaoshi for fifteen years. 】

【Guo Jing was forced by Zhou Botong to become sworn brothers with him and learned Zhou Botong’s “Empty Fist” and “Dual Hand Combat”. 】

【Moreover, under Zhou Botong’s deception, he memorized the entire 《Nine Yin Manual》. 】

“Old Child Zhou Botong, I feel like he and the Invincible Child Gu Santong must be good brothers!”

“Suddenly, I realized that Old Child Zhou Botong and Invincible Child Gu Santong seem very similar!”

“Blind person, you’ve discovered the key point!”

“One cuckolded others, and the other was cuckolded by others!”

“……”

“If Zhou Botong met Gu Santong, it would probably be a bit fun. Maybe they could even become sworn brothers!”

Zhao Wu thought of their lives, they were really too similar.

Both had the heart of a child.

Both loved martial arts.

Both were mischievous children.

Most importantly, both were scumbags, not even knowing they had sons.

Old Child Zhou Botong went to the Dali Imperial Palace with Wang Chongyang. In the harem, he taught Ying Gu acupressure techniques, so physical contact was unavoidable, touching some important acupoints.

One man and one woman, both in their prime.

◈◈◈

Although Zhou Botong had the heart of a child, he was also an adult man, curious about a woman’s body.

After a while, the two couldn’t help but try it out, successfully cuckolding Prince Duan and putting Prince Duan on the Green Hat List.

After being discovered, Prince Duan originally wanted to marry Ying Gu to Zhou Botong, but Zhou Botong refused and ran away directly.

He played around and then ran, irresponsible.

He didn’t even know he had a child. In the end, the child was severely injured and killed by Qiu Qianren. Ying Gu lived with hatred for most of her life.

And Gu Santong was similar. He didn’t care much about his fiancée Su Xin. After getting drunk, they had a relationship, but the next day, he pulled up his pants and left, continuing to pursue his martial arts and challenge experts.

As for women, he had long forgotten them.

So he didn’t even know he had a son.

He deserved to be put on the Green Hat List by Zhu Wushi.

Zhao Wu smiled inwardly, then continued to look at the sky.

【Hong Qigong came to Peach Blossom Island to help Guo Jing propose marriage, but Ouyang Feng also wanted to propose marriage for Ouyang Ke. 】

This work is organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~

【Therefore, the two fought. 】

【Seeing this, Huang Yaoshi proposed three tests. Guo Jing ultimately won all the tests and married Huang Rong, but because of Zhou Botong’s meddling, Huang Yaoshi separated Guo Jing and Huang Rong again. 】

【After Guo Jing and others left Peach Blossom Island, they accidentally sank their ship and boarded Ouyang Feng’s ship. Ouyang Feng forced Guo Jing to write down the Nine Yin Manual. Guo Jing followed Hong Qigong’s plan and gave Ouyang Feng a jumbled version of the Nine Yin Manual. 】

◈◈◈

【Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to Dongting Junshan together to participate in the Beggar Sect meeting. 】

【At the same time, the Jin spy Yang Kang also arrived in Yuezhou. He used the stolen Beggar Sect staff, attempting to impersonate the new Beggar Sect Leader and drive the members to surrender to the Jin. Guo Jing and Huang Rong arrived in time. Guo Jing comprehended the essence of the Heavenly Dipper Formation, fought alone against the Beggar Sect members, and exposed Yang Kang’s conspiracy. 】

【Huang Rong defeated the three elders of the Beggar Sect and successfully took over as the Beggar Sect Leader. 】

【After the Beggar Sect meeting, because they were trying to obtain the 《Martial Legacy of Yue Fei》 on Iron Palm Peak, Huang Rong was injured by Qiu Qianren, the Iron Palm Sect Leader, and was in critical condition. Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to seek treatment from the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing. On the way, they encountered Ying Gu in the Black Marsh and, guided by her, learned of the whereabouts of Duan Zhixing, who had become a monk with the Dharma name Yideng. Then, Guo Jing and Huang Rong successfully resolved the old grudges between Ying Gu and Master Yideng. 】

【After Huang Rong recovered, the two coincidentally met Mu Nianci and learned that she had lost her virginity to Yang Kang on Iron Palm Peak half a month ago. 】

◈◈◈

Great Jin Imperial Palace.

“I was originally destined to follow that petty person Yang Kang?”

Mu Nianci looked at the sky, frowning involuntarily.

“I said it was the original fate. Now, naturally, there’s nothing to do with Yang Kang.”

Hu Sanniang patted Mu Nianci’s shoulder and laughed: “In my original fate, I also married that dog thief Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying. If I had known Wang Ying was so bad, I would have killed him with one strike back then. It’s really letting him off easy!”

“Yeah, yeah, it’s good that we met Martial Older Brother!”

Mu Nianci nodded vigorously.

Hu Sanniang was also very grateful. If she hadn’t met Zhao Wu, she would probably still be living in misery.

At the same time.

Yang Tiexin and the others, who had returned to Niu Village with Yang Kang and Bao Xiruo whom they had released from the Heavenly Prison, also looked at the sky.

Seeing Yang Kang’s series of actions, Yang Tiexin was very angry and couldn’t help but want to beat Yang Kang up. But thinking that he hadn’t fulfilled his responsibilities as a father over the years, he had to endure it.

He decided to keep Yang Kang by his side and educate him properly.

“Mu Nianci is now already Martial King’s woman, you must not have any improper thoughts.”

Yang Tiexin warned.

“Don’t worry, I’m not stupid!”

Yang Kang scoffed. There were so many beauties in the world, he wasn’t so thick-headed as to go covet Zhao Wu’s woman.

Wasn’t that like the old man Longevity hanging himself, tired of living?

He was a clever person.

【Guo Jing and Huang Rong, on their way back to Peach Blossom Island, encountered Ke Zhen’e, the leader of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, wearing mourning clothes. The two felt that something might have happened on the island. 】

【After arriving at Peach Blossom Island, they discovered that five of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had been killed. Guo Jing, misunderstanding that Huang Yaoshi was responsible, broke up with Huang Rong and left Peach Blossom Island alone to seek revenge in the Central Plains. 】

【After the great battle at Misty Rain Tower and the events at Wang Tieqiang Temple, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were separated. After learning the truth, Guo Jing was filled with regret and searched for Huang Rong for half a year. 】

◈◈◈

“I’m going! Is this ‘good things take time’?”

“It looked like they were about to succeed, but then there was another problem in the middle!”

“But as a Child of Destiny, the final result must be good!”

“Unless someone intercepts it!”

“I feel like the person who intercepted Huang Rong must be Martial King!”

“That dog thing, Martial King, is really eating meat himself and not even leaving a drop of soup for others!”

“Isn’t Cheng Yaojia considered soup?”

“……”

【In the early winter in the Western Regions, he reunited with Huang Rong and, using her clever plans, captured Ouyang Feng three times and conquered Samarkand. But then, the two were separated again due to a misunderstanding about the matter of Huazheng. 】

【Guo Jing, in order to chase after Huang Rong, was captured by Ouyang Feng. In the stone chamber, he practiced the manual with him, greatly improving his martial arts. 】

【More than a month later, Zhou Botong chased Qiu Qianren to this place. The four experts engaged in a chaotic battle in the stone chamber. 】

【Later, Guo Jing and his mother Li Ping discovered that Temujin was planning to invade the Song territory. The mother and son refused to betray their own people. Li Ping committed suicide to avoid implicating Guo Jing. Guo Jing escaped and returned to the Central Plains, also indirectly causing his engagement with Huazheng to finally end without a result. 】

【At the second Mount Hua Sword Tournament, Guo Jing fought to a draw with the Eastern Heretic and the Northern Beggar, but all three lost to the Western Poison, who had become mad and lost his mind due to practicing the 《Nine Yin Manual》 in reverse. They all acknowledged that this crazy and strange expert’s martial arts were the best in the world at that time. 】

【During this time, Guo Jing reunited with Huang Rong. The two finally got engaged in front of the Eastern Heretic and the Northern Beggar. 】

【Guo Jing believed: The great hero is one who serves the country and the people. 】

【He took this as his life goal, guarding Xiangyang City for the rest of his life and bravely resisting foreign enemies. In the end, the couple died in battle in Xiangyang. 】

“The great hero is one who serves the country and the people, worthy of being called Great Hero Guo!”

“Now, among the Children of Destiny on the list, Wei Xiaobao is just a hooligan, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu are barely passable, Bastard is kind-hearted, only Guo Jing can truly be called a great hero!”

“Not only Guo Jing, Qiao Feng is the same!”

“There are all kinds of monsters and demons on various lists, what with hypocrites, the Green Hat List, the Lecherous Bandit List, the ones who can truly be called great heroes are Guo Jing and Qiao Feng!”

“……”

【Reward: High-Grade Divine-Rank Nine Yin Manual. 】

A rosy light fell, entering Guo Jing’s mind.

Although Zhao Wu intercepted Huang Rong, he still learned the Nine Yin Manual, but it wasn’t the complete Nine Yin Manual.

Now, the reward from the Golden List is the complete version, and it’s also a High-Grade Divine-Rank improved version. For Guo Jing, it’s also a peerless divine art.

◈◈◈

The world was in turmoil.

Three days passed in a flash.

【Top Ten Children of Destiny. 】

【Sixth place: Cheng Shifei. 】
