14 The Terms and Conditions of Borrowing Power (1/2)

Erm…

The three of them were paralyzed in fear. Their boss weighed over one hundred and seventy-six pounds. He had been slapped senseless, literally. The slap also brought out a mouthful of blood. It wasn't a laughing matter. Also, they were sure that he had spat some teeth out. How would they fight such a monster?

*POM!*

*POM!*

*POM!*

Their legs went soft and they kneeled on the ground. They looked at Lin and started to beg, ”Madam Lin! We know we did the wrong thing! It's totally our fault! Please forgive us!”

Lin was stunned. It was like a dream to her. She couldn't believe what just happened in front of her.

After some time, she was still trembling. ”You guys can leave now…” She said.

Her voice sounded like the voice of an angel. The three men hurried over and lifted the body of their fallen superior. He was still coughing blood. They left the scene as swiftly as rabbits.

”Fuhhhh…..”

Chen took a long breath, and the power of Xiangyu left his body. Fatigue started to show up on his face, and his right hand turned red and swollen. The pain started to crawl in between his bones.

”As expected, the strength from Xiangyu was really powerful, but my body is still too weak to handle the overwhelming power. I hurt myself more than I expected by handing out a single punch. This cannot go on for long. I must find a way to train myself stronger.” Chen told himself secretly.

Ding!

[You received one point of Triple Realms Merit for saving a lady.]

Ding!

[Three points of Triple Realms Merits have been deducted from you. Now your points are -1. Level: Bad guy.]

”What the f*ck?! How is it possible that my point is -1 right now?” Chen was really confused.

When Chen was trying figure out the function of Netherspirit Battlescouter just now, he realized that all the famous people inside the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms were no longer alive. They were all ghosts from hell.

Two choices would be given to a person when he/she died. The first option was, he/she could choose to drink the Soup of Mengpo and crossed the bridge of life to go through the process of reincarnation. The second option was, the person could choose to stay at hell and begin training as a ghost. When he/she accumulated a certain amount of Triple Realms Merit Point, he/she would become a deity and ascend to heaven. It was extremely difficult for a ghost to earn Triple Realms Merit Point. Most of the people would choose to go through the process of reincarnation. Only few would choose to stay and train in hell. Xiangyu, the King was one of them.

”The three points that were taken from me must have been transferred to Xiangyu. Such is the price of borrowing strength from a ghost.” Chen concluded. It was only reasonable to pay for such power.

Chen was more bothered about the '-1' point now. He had been officially categorized as a bad guy. This is going to be a problem.

”Chen… Are you alright? Lin walked towards Chen and asked.

”Oh… Nothing…” Chen scratched his nose tip and said.

There was no way that he would tell his deepest secrets to others.

”You don't look good. Are you sick?” Lin Xiang was a really attentive woman. She quickly noticed Chen's change. She walked towards Chen. She lifted up her fair hand and placed it softly on Chen's forehead.

Her graceful, fair hand felt cold. Her movements were slow and gentle. It was like rain drops had landed on Chen's face. It moistened up Chen's heart.

Looking at the masterpiece in front of him and smelling the subtle lily-like fragrance that came from Lin's body made Chen's mind jump around like a wild horse.
