432 Three Incidents of Incredible Misfortune! (1/2)
”Damn it. I really can't take this… Where is Sister Chang'e? Why did you guys send me the God of Misfortune? It's obvious that you bunch of childish gods are trying to mess with me!”
Chen Xiaobei was genuinely upset by what was clearly a cheap move on part of the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
”Should I just leave him and let him rot?” Chen Xiaobei muttered darkly.
However, he thought that it was rather unkind of himself especially since Shaoba Xingjun did not even register for the mission. They were both on the same boat, and the once-immortal deity might starve to death if Chen Xiaobei refused to help him. He was not that evil, and the God of Misfortune was essentially blameless.
”Whatever. I should contact Shaobao Xingjun and guide him…”
”Bro Bei! I heard something!”
Yap Liangchen's voice rang outside the house.
”What happened?” Chen Xiaobei opened his balcony door to find both Yap Liangchen and Cangjin Gu standing outside.
”There's an assassin, but we didn't kill him because you mentioned earlier that you need more merit points. We've saved him for you!” Yap Liangchen replied.
Chen Xiaobei was thrilled. ”Let's go check it out!”
It was midnight. There was no one outside while Chen Xiaobei's parents were already asleep. The assassin was clearly arrogant enough to enter the house through the front door. It was a short man in his fifties who had a sharp, mousey face. His hair was unkempt and filthy, and combining that with his small eyes and wispy mustache he looked very much like a pervert.
*Whoosh*
*Whoosh*
*Whoosh*
Chen Xiaobei, Yap Liangchen and Cangjin Gu leapt from the balcony and surrounded the assassin.
Spooked, the perverted-looking man fell to the ground.
”What the hell… You guys scared the shit out of me…” he squealed.
”This is an assassin?” Chen Xiaobei and Cangjin Gu exclaimed, looking at Yap Liangchen in surprise.
”Hmmm… I might have made a mistake…” Yap Liangchen replied, scratching his head.
Ding!

Chen Xiaobei was absolutely certain that the man was not an assassin after examining him with his Netherspirit Battlescouter. ”Old man. Who the hell are you? Why did you come to my house?” He asked.
”I'm looking for someone here, but I'm not allowed to reveal my identity until I meet him.” The man said fearfully and gingerly. ”Is Chen Xiaobei staying here?”
That was when Chen Xiaobei realized what was happening. ”Are you Shaoba Xingjun?” He quickly asked.
”Are you God Chen? God Chen! Finally… It took me some time to locate your house… I shall follow your lead from this day forth. You must help me complete my mission!”
”I…” Chen Xiaobei did not know how to reply. Initially, he thought he could simply abandon the deity by not picking him up, but Jiang Ziya must have already secured his house-address. That douchebag of a deity must have lived long enough to learn how to read a person's mind after all. It was impossible for Chen Xiaobei to outwit him.
”Bro Bei… Shaoba Xingjun is the God of Misfortune, right? Aren't you afraid that his bad luck would come to you?” Yap Liangchen said nervously while taking a few steps back unconsciously.
