Chapter 279: Starting with Peerless Divine Art + A Rich and Beautiful Woman
【Ten Children of Destiny】
【Sixth Place: Cheng Shifei】
◈◈◈
“Cheng Shifei?”
“Who is this guy again?”
“He doesn’t seem to have been on the list before, right?”
“I wonder which lucky person this is!”
◈◈◈
The world was in an uproar, their eyes filled with envy.
Which of the Children of Destiny who have appeared on the list so far hasn’t become a winner in life?
Although Wei Xiaobao didn’t cultivate peerless martial arts, he had seven wives… uh, although now due to a series of changes, it seems he only has Jianning as a wife.
But these are not important.
Even the simple-minded Bastard and Guo Jing eventually cultivated peerless martial arts and won the hearts of beautiful women.
Although the current Guo Jing doesn’t have the stunningly beautiful Huang Rong as a wife, he’s still living a good life…
It’s just that…
It’s just that because of the appearance of the Golden List and Martial King, the fates of these Children of Destiny seem to have… collapsed!!??
Great Ming Imperial Palace.
“Fei’er?”
Su Xin saw Cheng Shifei’s name, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She hadn’t paid much attention to the Children of Destiny on the list, only looking at it with a casual attitude, after all, the Children of Destiny were very far removed from her.
However, she never expected that one of them would actually be her son!
“Cheng Shifei is actually a Child of Destiny?”
Zhu Wushi was very surprised, never expecting that such a small-time hoodlum would actually be a Child of Destiny.
It’s truly unfair.
But thinking about the initial appearances of Bastard, Guo Jing, and others, it seems it’s not impossible to understand.
Moreover, he seemed to have discovered something.
The Children of Destiny are all very down on their luck at the start.
Of the six Children of Destiny on the list so far, only Duan Yu has the highest status, being the Dali Crown Prince, living a life of luxury since childhood.
The others, like Wei Xiaobao, Bastard, Xu Zhu, and Guo Jing, all had very low status, and their families were basically destroyed.
Even if their parents didn’t die, they were separated from their parents from a young age due to various reasons.
Parents sacrificed to the heavens.
Boundless magic power.
“Wo cao! I’m actually a Child of Destiny?”
Cheng Shifei, who was practicing martial arts with Gu Santong, was suddenly startled and excitedly said, “I knew it, I’ve been lucky since I was a kid, I’m definitely not someone who’ll stay in the pond.”
“Worthy of being the seed of your old man, the Invincible Old Child, you have three parts of your father’s style from back then!”
The Invincible Old Child Gu Santong reached out and heavily patted Cheng Shifei’s shoulder, making Cheng Shifei wince in pain and glare fiercely at Gu Santong:
“You still have the face to say that? Mother was abducted by Zhu Tie Dan!”
Of course, Cheng Shifei didn’t dare to say these words out loud.
Ignoring Gu Santong.
Cheng Shifei looked at the Golden List in the sky, wanting to know what his fate would be.
The Golden List’s light screen split into two screens, one showing his current fate, and the other his original fate.
【In the scene, the Jianghu hoodlum Cheng Shifei was scamming people with his partner Zhang Laosan in the east market.】
【Cheng Shifei went to the gambling house, Zhang Laosan was just about to leave, telling Cheng Shifei to wait for him, but Cheng Shifei didn’t know that Zhang Laosan had lost all his money and left him as collateral.】
【Zhang Laosan disappeared without a trace, Cheng Shifei was taken away by a carriage, and after a lot of trouble, he was released, only to find himself in the imperial palace, the person who received him was a smiling eunuch, telling Cheng Shifei to quickly go and get castrated.】
“Wo cao! Is it that exciting?”
“Becoming a eunuch right away?”
“There must be a turning point, a Child of Destiny definitely won’t become a eunuch!”
Everyone widened their eyes, filled with intense curiosity.
Cheng Shifei shrank his neck, feeling a chill down below.
This was a scene from his original fate.
He had already changed his fate now.
Because of the Golden List, he had met Gu Santong early on.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Su Xin’s heart was in her throat, nervously watching the light screen.
【After Cheng Shifei found out, he was scared out of his wits – they actually sold him to become a eunuch!】
【Cheng Shifei and several other young eunuchs who were about to be castrated were imprisoned in the 「silkworm room」, serving those who had already been castrated, Cheng Shifei desperately wanted to escape.】
【He discovered a tunnel that had been sealed off in the silkworm room, dug a hole, hoping to escape this hellish place, but instead, he walked into the ninth level of the Eastern Depot’s Heavenly Prison.】
【The ninth level of the Eastern Depot’s Heavenly Prison was where the imperial court imprisoned top experts, the walls were filled with copper, going deep underground, making it impossible to escape.
【Cheng Shifei met an old man with a listless expression here.】
【He said that he hadn’t seen a living person in three years, and the food was only thrown in from the outside.】
【When Cheng Shifei saw eight dried corpses hanging on the wall, he was scared out of his wits.】
【The old man said that these eight people were all top experts from eight major sects, every two years, one person would be imprisoned here, and they would attack him without saying a word, as a result, every expert had all their power absorbed by him. Cheng Shifei thought of one person – Gu Santong.】
【It was rumored that Gu Santong, who disappeared thirty years ago, had the ability to absorb a person’s life-long power.】
【The old man had a strange temper, admitting that he was Gu Santong, thirty years ago he had a martial arts competition with the Iron Courage God Hou, losing by half a move, and to keep his promise, he was actually imprisoned for thirty years.】
【Gu Santong suddenly used his power, pouncing towards Cheng Shifei, Cheng Shifei was scared stiff.】
【It turned out that Gu Santong knew that his life was coming to an end, so he passed on his life-long power and the 「Invincible Vajra Divine Art」 to Cheng Shifei, to prevent his martial arts from being lost, and he also tattooed the martial arts manuals of various major sects onto Cheng Shifei’s body.】
【Gu Santong wanted Cheng Shifei to challenge the Iron Courage God Hou after receiving his power, and to tell his beloved woman Su Xin that he loved her, after Gu Santong said this, he died.】
“Damn, is this what a Child of Destiny is like?”
“As expected, it’s still the same feeling, turning bad luck into good, turning disaster into auspiciousness, directly ascending from a small-time hoodlum to a top expert!”
“It’s too damn lucky!”
“But Cheng Shifei and Gu Santong are also fated, the two are actually father and son!”
“Like father, like son, it can also be considered fate!”
◈◈◈
Gu Santong looked at the sky, his expression strange.
“If there was no Golden List, I wouldn’t have come out of the Heavenly Prison, and eventually, I would have met you and passed on my life-long martial arts to you, so that’s not bad!”
Gu Santong felt guilty towards both Su Xin and Cheng Shifei, when it came to women, he was indeed inferior to Zhu Wushi.
This was also the reason why he didn’t go to the Imperial Palace to cause trouble for Zhu Wushi.
It’s just that now because of the Golden List, he came out of the Heavenly Prison early, and recovered from his injuries, keeping his life, but thinking about how his fiancée became someone else’s wife, it would be better to die and be done with it.
“Old man, why don’t you pass on some martial arts to me, it doesn’t have to be much, half would be fine, practicing martial arts is too difficult!”
Cheng Shifei looked at Gu Santong with a cheeky smile.
Of course.
He was just saying it.
Now he wouldn’t want Gu Santong’s power transfer.
“Get lost!”
Gu Santong kicked him, then continued to look at the sky.
【After Gu Santong died, Cheng Shifei didn’t believe that he really possessed the Invincible Vajra Divine Art, he tried to channel his energy, and he actually immediately turned into a golden giant, with boundless strength, running around and jumping.】
【After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Cheng Shifei returned to his true form, he tried to use lightness skill to leave, but he was unsuccessful.】
◈◈◈
【So Cheng Shifei returned to the silkworm room through the original tunnel, when he came out it was already night, he looked up and saw a group of men in black carrying a person wrapped in black satin.】
【Cheng Shifei didn’t want to cause any trouble, and immediately left, but the sound of 「catching an assassin」 rang out everywhere, countless guards rushed out, Cheng Shifei then sneaked into a bedchamber, he didn’t know who lived inside, he just hid behind a pile of cabinets.】
【After a while, a palace maid and a princess walked in, it was Princess Yunluo, the Emperor’s younger sister.】
【It turned out that Princess Yunluo was famous for being unreasonable, no one in the palace wasn’t afraid of her, and she was also a martial arts fanatic, often looking for eunuchs and guards in the palace who knew martial arts to spar with.】
【She was of noble birth, who would dare to hurt her even a little?】
【So she always won every fight, thinking that she was invincible in the world.】
【The palace guards were searching everywhere for the assassin, they searched Yunluo’s room, and were yelled at and dismissed by her, but Cheng Shifei was discovered by Yunluo.】
【Yunluo attacked him, easily knocking Cheng Shifei to the ground.】
【Cheng Shifei quickly looked at the martial arts manuals on his body, and was finally able to counter Yunluo.】

【Yunluo encountered someone who could defeat her for the first time in her life, and she developed admiration for him, asking Cheng Shifei who he was?】
【Cheng Shifei bragged, saying that he was the “Mighty Dragon Hero”, his master was the “Invincible Old Child”, and his body was covered in martial arts manual tattoos, making the inexperienced Yunluo completely believe him.】
【Yunluo ordered people to bring a lot of food for Cheng Shifei to enjoy, and also asked Cheng Shifei many questions about the martial world and martial arts.】
【While Cheng Shifei was eating and drinking, he was also boasting, making his master, the “Invincible Old Child” Gu Santong, out to be an invincible expert, with his added embellishments, the maiden-hearted Yunluo was determined to meet the real Gu Santong, and become his disciple.】
【Yunluo forced Cheng Shifei to leave the palace with her, to take her to find Gu Santong, Cheng Shifei came up with a lot of excuses, saying that Gu Santong was traveling around the world, and his whereabouts were unknown.】
【But Yunluo was relentless, and Cheng Shifei, unable to bear her pestering, had no choice but to agree.】
【Yunluo and Cheng Shifei secretly left the Imperial Palace, to experience the martial world outside, Cheng Shifei took Yunluo to a gambling house to gamble, Cheng Shifei had a bet with the gambling house owner, and won, but they encountered a demonic woman, and were trapped in a blade formation, Cheng Shifei had no choice but to transform into a golden giant for the second time, and save Princess Yunluo.】
【Yunluo couldn’t recognize him as Cheng Shifei, so Cheng Shifei simply claimed to be the 「Invincible Old Child」.】
【Yunluo was overjoyed, begging the 「Invincible Old Child」 to teach her martial arts; but the 「Invincible Old Child」 wanted her to follow Cheng Shifei first, and treat Cheng Shifei, this senior martial brother, well, and only then could she learn martial arts from him after two years.】
【Yunluo happily agreed.】
“Wo cao!”
“I seem to already see Cheng Shifei marrying a rich and beautiful woman, and reaching the peak of his life!”
“This luck is simply invincible!”
“A small-time hoodlum, directly inheriting the life-long power of the Invincible Old Child Gu Santong, becoming a peerless expert, and upon emerging, he meets a pure and easily deceived princess, now he has martial arts, a beauty, and he’ll directly become an imperial son-in-law!”
“Awesome(, breaking the sound barrier)!”
◈◈◈
“Damn it, this princess’s reputation is completely ruined!”
Inside the Imperial Palace, Princess Yunluo was so angry that her teeth itched, and she said fiercely, “Cheng Shifei, this princess will kill you!”
She hadn’t met Cheng Shifei yet, but she had heard of him.
Cheng Shifei was the son of Gu Santong and Su Xin.
Most importantly, Su Xin had also become her imperial uncle Zhu Wushi’s wife.
She couldn’t not know even if she wanted to.
After all, Zhu Wushi was the one who sent Gu Santong to the Green Hat List.
Gu Santong patted Cheng Shifei’s shoulder, and laughed, “Son, this little girl is not bad, you have to seize the opportunity!”
“Seize the opportunity my ass, I don’t even know her, and besides, I’m probably hated to death by her now!”
Cheng Shifei couldn’t help but complain.
For a rich and beautiful woman like Princess Yunluo, he, a hoodlum, naturally liked her, but now his background was exposed.
Princess Yunluo knew everything about him, how could he still deceive her like he did in his original fate?
“It’s not like there’s any deep hatred, when you meet, just use the martial arts I taught you, and conquer her fiercely, isn’t that enough? Are you still afraid of her?”
Gu Santong blew his beard and glared, feeling that he was not living up to his expectations.
He could see that Princess Yunluo was a martial arts fanatic, worshiping the strong, as long as Cheng Shifei went over there earlier, the chances of success were very high.
“This young master isn’t afraid of her!”
Cheng Shifei looked at Gu Santong with disdain, he couldn’t even handle his own fiancée, and he was still pretending to be an expert in relationships.
But it didn’t seem like it was impossible.
“This young master is going to see my mother!”
After saying that, Cheng Shifei ran off in a puff of smoke, heading towards the Imperial Palace.
“Hypocrite!”
Gu Santong looked at Cheng Shifei’s back, and said with disdain:
“Are you going to see your mother?”
Unfortunately, what Cheng Shifei didn’t know was that Princess Yunluo had already left the Imperial Palace, originally preparing to find him for revenge.
But thinking that Cheng Shifei was following Gu Santong, and might have already cultivated peerless martial arts, she might not be his opponent, wouldn’t that be asking for humiliation?
“I’ll go find Sister A Jiu, and then get Martial King to teach me martial arts, and maybe I can even see the Martial God!”
Princess Yunluo thought for a while, and headed towards Great Qin.
A Jiu was also Princess Changping, who was previously sent by Zhu Wushi to form a marriage alliance with Martial King.
On the way, she also encountered Yuan Chengzhi robbing her, and was rescued by Zhao Wu, and now she was at the Great Qin Martial King’s Residence.
A Jiu was also proficient in martial arts, and her martial arts was much higher than Princess Yunluo’s, the two got along very well, and their relationship was very good.
Of course.
Princess Yunluo was looking for A Jiu, more so to take the opportunity to see the Martial God and the Martial King.
With the appearance of the Golden List, her heart was filled with worship and admiration for the Martial God and the Martial King.
And the Martial King Zhao Wu was currently within the territory of Great Song.
After Guo Jing appeared on the list, Zhao Wu came to Great Song and found Huang Rong.
After many years apart.
Zhao Wu missed her very much.
The immature little girl from back then, had now become a mature and graceful beauty.
“Martial Older Brother, this Cheng Shifei is too lucky, right, he hasn’t properly practiced martial arts for even a day, but he became a peerless expert!”
Huang Rong was both envious and jealous.
She was born under the tutelage of the Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, living a life of luxury since childhood, learning all kinds of martial arts at will, but after practicing martial arts diligently for many years, she might not be comparable to Cheng Shifei.
Of course.
After meeting Zhao Wu, with Zhao Wu’s various pills and careful and in-depth guidance, her martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds, not something that Cheng Shifei could compare to.
Not to mention Cheng Shifei, even Gu Santong might not be Huang Rong’s opponent.
“What? Are you envious?”
Zhao Wu smiled slightly, holding Huang Rong’s soft and warm body, plump and exquisite, and slowly said:
“Everyone has their own fate, besides, you can now easily beat ten Cheng Shifeis with one hand!”
“If it was before I met Martial Older Brother, I would definitely be envious to death, but after meeting Martial Older Brother, I’m not envious at all!”
Huang Rong’s silver bell-like voice was bright and crisp, clear and soft, low and melodious, making one’s heart sway and soul intoxicated.
A pair of dark eyes, crystal clear, radiant, looking at Zhao Wu, tender and affectionate, very lively, her beauty was breathtaking between the flow of her eyes, making the beauties of the world pale in comparison.
Zhao Wu’s heart swayed, he held the beauty’s small hand, soft and tender, boneless, smooth and delicate, her wrist was as white as snow.
He lowered his head and kissed her red cherry-like lips, her fair skin, as white as jade, immediately flushed with layers of red, infinitely shy.
“Martial Older Brother…”
Huang Rong’s eyes were blurred, and she passionately hugged Zhao Wu’s powerful waist.
“Martial Older Brother…”
Hearing this address, Zhao Wu inexplicably thought of the Big Wu and Little Wu in the doujinshi…
