My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 20

Ch 20: Why Do You Treat Me Like This?

“How is this possible?”

After confirming the faint yet real true qi within her body again and again, Su Qingzhi was completely dumbfounded.

The Su family she came from was also a well-established family in Ba Prefecture. In families in such small places, internal competition was severe. As long as a talented descendant emerged, the family could prosper for decades.

Conversely, if there were no noteworthy figures for one or two generations, the family would quickly decline.

The Liu family was a positive example; one Liu Zhe allowed the Liu family to leap to become the most prominent family in Jiang Prefecture.

The Su family was a negative example. The Su family had also been glorious before, but later, for several generations, no outstanding figures emerged, and they declined.

In this generation, only one Fifth-Rank was left to maintain the facade.

In this kind of family situation, there were no rules about passing down to males only. Regardless of gender, everyone had to practice martial arts from a young age.

Su Qingzhi’s father was the current family head, and she had been guided by her father since she was young.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not cultivate even a trace of true qi.

All along, she had thought she was a useless person who could not practice martial arts.

Until two months ago, when she went to a temple outside the city to offer incense, she met an old Daoist. The old Daoist was shocked when he saw her and said that she possessed the legendary Ice Skin Jade Bones.

This matter quickly spread.

Then, she inexplicably made it onto the Red Beauty List, ranked thirteenth.

And this also brought about a disaster that would wipe out the Su family.

These so-called Ice Skin Jade Bones had brought too much misfortune to Su Qingzhi. Because of this, she could not cultivate from a young age and became a useless person in the eyes of others.

Also because of this, she made it onto some Red Beauty List, causing her family to be destroyed.

Now, she could actually cultivate, genuinely condensing a trace of true qi.

The physique problem that had plagued her for more than ten years was actually resolved inexplicably?

Su Qingzhi was almost overjoyed to tears.

◈◈◈

“This aptitude—”

Gu Yang had noticed when Su Qingzhi was circulating her qi, and after watching her circulate it for one cycle, a subtle light flashed in his eyes, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.

He had probed her condition and knew that there was an extremely yin aura in her meridians. In her situation, it was impossible to condense true qi.

Unless a master above the Third-Rank used true qi to help her break through the yin aura in her meridians, she could cultivate martial arts like an ordinary person.

Last night, he had accidentally neutralized the yin aura in her body with his Red Yang True Qi.

So, this should be her first time formally cultivating. In less than a quarter of an hour, she had a qi sensation and condensed her first trace of true qi.

Such aptitude was definitely top-notch.

If he had this kind of talent, he would probably have broken through to First-Rank long ago.

Gu Yang felt a little down when he thought of this.

He had performed so many life simulations and cultivated for more than a hundred years in total. After accumulating all that, he had barely broken through to Sixth-Rank. This difference in aptitude was truly unmatched.

◈◈◈

An hour later, Gu Yang and the other three continued on their way. This time, he decisively released the extra horses, leaving only four. He also discarded the weapons with the Liu family’s mark.

Thus, they traveled during the day and camped at night. Ten days later, they finally walked out of the mountain.

Before going down the mountain, Gu Yang released the four horses as well. He also discarded the tents and other items left by the Liu family.

Now, the four of them only had their own belongings left.

After going down the mountain, that night, Gu Yang did not choose to stay in the villages or markets. Instead, he found an abandoned temple in the wilderness and prepared to spend the night there.

Zhang Xiaohai was very nimble. He started a fire, cleaned up the temple, and found some dry grass to spread in the corner.

The four of them sat by the fire, and Gu Yang continued to teach them martial arts.

◈◈◈

Zhang Xiaohai and Zhixing both had good aptitudes.

Zhixing had some foundation, and with guidance, she quickly got the hang of it.

Zhang Xiaohai excelled in diligence. Knowing that martial arts was the only opportunity to change his fate, he practiced extremely hard.

However, Su Qingzhi, who had the highest talent, encountered trouble.

Ever since she discovered that she could cultivate, she was overjoyed. She finally saw hope for revenge.

However, in the following days, her progress became slower and slower. Even more terrifying was that the true qi she had painstakingly cultivated was gradually disappearing.

By the day before yesterday, the last trace of true qi in her body had also dissipated.

She had returned to square one overnight.

Su Qingzhi was anxious but helpless. She once again experienced the despair of not being able to cultivate.

In the past two days, she pondered and guessed the truth of why she could suddenly cultivate.

It must be related to Gu Yang helping her circulate her qi to dispel the cold that night.

She sat in the corner, watching Gu Yang’s huge figure projected onto a wall, listening to him explain the key points of the 《Mystic Origin Skill》 word by word, biting her lip, and finally made up her mind.

◈◈◈

The night grew late.

Zhang Xiaohai was meditating alone in the corner.

Gu Yang was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a series of “clack…” sounds of teeth chattering. He was slightly startled, and then a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

For so many days, this young miss had not said a word to him. Her temperament was truly stubborn.

Now, she finally could not hold back.

These days, when he taught Zhang Xiaohai and Zhixing the 《Mystic Origin Skill》, he never avoided Su Qingzhi. He was waiting for this day.

“Miss, are you alright?”

The little maidservant Zhixing asked worriedly, and immediately exclaimed, “Brother Gu, something is wrong. Miss’s body is so cold, like an ice block. Please come and take a look.”

Gu Yang got up and walked over when he heard this. He saw Su Qingzhi huddled there and reached out to touch her forehead. It was icy cold to the touch.

He said with a solemn expression, “D*mn it, her body is invaded by yin cold. If this continues, she will soon die from hypothermia.”

Zhixing panicked when she heard this and said, at a loss, “Then what should we do?”

“To save her, there is only one way. Take off her clothes, and I will hold her in my arms, skin to skin, and circulate my mystic skill to warm her body. Perhaps it can save her life.”

“Ah? This… this…”

Zhixing was dumbfounded when she heard this method of rescue.

“It’s already this time. Why are you still caring about these trivial matters? Do you want to watch her freeze to death?”

When Zhixing heard the word “death,” she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay.” She reached out to untie her young miss’s belt.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her hand.

Zhixing looked and saw that it was her own young miss. She had already opened her eyes and said in surprise, “Miss, you’re finally awake!”

Su Qingzhi ignored her and stared at Gu Yang through gritted teeth.

She knew he was doing it on purpose.

Gu Yang did not look at her and said, “Since she is awake, that means she is fine.” He returned to his original position and sat down.

Su Qingzhi’s eyes were red, and her chest heaved rapidly. She could no longer hold back and questioned, “Why do you treat me like this?”
