Chapter 61: The Brag Went Too Far

Chapter 61: The Brag Went Too Far

“I said your time of death is approaching! Could it be that you, like Mei Lixiang, stole something and brought about misfortune?”

Bai Xiaoxiao and the others had distanced themselves from Pei Ye because of the weight loss pills, but they did not doubt her abilities.

When Pei Ye said their time of death was near, they became a little panicked.

At this moment they remembered her earlier warning, and their faces turned deathly pale.

Pei Ye had a cigarette in her mouth, sneering repeatedly.

“Looks like you are not completely clueless in your hearts. You already know what is going on?”

Of course the weight loss pills would not put them in danger of death, but their recent fortune was indeed very low. Combined with their own weak destiny charts, bad luck of the year, and coincidentally encountering some “dirty thing”, these several factors together formed a death trap, and their time of death was very soon.

Pei Ye did not say it directly, so Bai Xiaoxiao and the others assumed it was a side effect of the weight loss pills.

“Xiao, Xiao Hong… we are roommates in the same dormitory, you cannot just stand by and watch us die…”

Pei Ye coldly asked back, “I have no reason to act bravely and do a good deed, right? Have you not heard of ‘heaven’s mandate cannot be defied’? Did I not try to persuade you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao and the others were so frightened their faces turned pale and green.

“We… we did not do it on purpose…”

Pei Ye said, “If I save those who should die, I will also incur karmic retribution. Do you think I should sacrifice myself to save you who insist on courting death?”

Zhou Huirong opened her lips, wanting to play the emotional card or morally pressure her, but Pei Ye’s words completely blocked everything she was about to say.

“I am not your parents, do I still have to spoil you unconditionally?”

After saying that, Pei Ye packed two sets of clothes and prepared to stay outside for a few days for peace and quiet.

“Also, grievances have their source and debts have their owner! You should go settle this with Lei Yating. If you really end up in a death trap, remember to call her.”

Bang. She slammed the door shut, leaving only five trembling roommates behind.

“Is… is she lying?”

“Xiao Hong is not an ordinary person. What benefit would she get from lying to you?”

Thinking of Pei Ye’s words about their “time of death approaching”, all five felt a chill run through them, and the suffocating silence lasted until Lei Yating and Mei Lixiang returned laughing and chatting.

The moment they saw them, the five pairs of eyes were already bloodshot with fear, staring fixedly at Lei Yating.

Even Lei Yating felt extremely uncomfortable under such gazes.

“What is wrong with you people?”

Mei Lixiang felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at. That sentence seemed to flip a switch, and Bai Xiaoxiao, who had the most explosive temper, could no longer hold back and slammed something hard onto the floor.

“Lei Yating, you f***ing bitch!”

She lost control and rushed forward to hit Lei Yating.

Not only her, but the other roommates who had been “sentenced to death” also went insane and rushed up to tear at Lei Yating.

In an instant, Dorm 4021 turned into chaos, with shouting and fighting attracting attention from other dorms.

Even the dorm supervisor was alerted in the end.

Lei Yating, the one being beaten, was mostly unharmed, while the other five sustained varying degrees of injury.

One by one, they suddenly burst into loud crying, looking extremely wronged.

Everyone: “…”

What is going on now?

“Lei Yating is going to kill us, and we are not even allowed to resist!”

Bai Xiaoxiao, her scalp torn in one patch, pointed at Lei Yating and roared.

“She is selling fake medicine that kills people. Even if I beat her to death, I am doing society a favor!”

Lei Yating was also furious. She should never have come back to Dorm 4021. All her roommates here were insane.

“How dare you slander me? When did I ever sell fake medicine?”

Although her products were unlicensed microbusiness goods, they were definitely real medicine and good medicine. Bai Xiaoxiao was spouting nonsense.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s chest rose and fell violently in rage.

“Not fake medicine? If it is not fake medicine, then why are we about to die? Aren’t you so capable? Why can’t you see it now?”

Lei Yating’s heart skipped a beat as she carefully examined their faces.

She did not actually know physiognomy, but she had her golden finger, the Heaven’s Eye she had snatched in a group chat the day before.

As long as she gathered primordial qi between her brows, she could see a person’s fortune.

It was one thing not to look, but one look almost scared her out of her wits.

A thick aura of death coiled around Bai Xiaoxiao and the others’ brows, clearly a sign of imminent violent death.

“This… what does this have to do with me?”

Could it be because of those black energy strikes she had previously sent out?

Thinking of this, cold sweat formed in Lei Yating’s palms.

She had intended to teach them a lesson, but she had never wanted their lives.

Lei Yating had not fully cultivated her abilities yet, and her guilty expression said everything. There was something suspicious here.

“Heh, so you really do not care about them?”

After leaving the school, Pei Ye stayed at a nearby hotel. The school was lenient with students, and staying out overnight was common.

She had just put down her things when a head emerged from the floor.

Pei Ye did not even look at it as she stepped past, turned on the hotel television, and connected her phone to the WiFi.

“I am not their parents. Why should I manage their food, drink, and survival? Whoever caused the mess should clean it up.”

The Ghost King Ying Lin crawled out from the ground, brushing nonexistent dust from his sleeve.

“They might really die.”

Pei Ye pressed her cigarette butt into the ashtray.

“Then let them die. Death is not the end in this world anyway.”

Ying Lin: “…”

That actually made a lot of sense.

But still.

“I still feel like you will not just ignore it.”

Pei Ye raised her eyelids. “Who gave you that illusion? Do you think I am the kind of busybody who jumps into every problem?”

Ying Lin adjusted his glasses and said slowly, “You gave me a pair of glasses.”

Pei Ye leaned against the hotel bed and said nothing.

After a long while, she said, “Children who love courting death only learn after a harsh lesson. You have to beat them hard enough for it to hurt deep into the flesh before they remember.”

A flash of crimson briefly passed through Ying Lin’s eyes before returning to calm.

“What if you accidentally hit too hard and kill them?”

“I already said I am not their parents. I save them because I have moral virtue. If I do not save them, I still have a clear conscience.”

Ying Lin said, “So you mean… whether they live depends on luck, and whether they die is fate?”

“They are not guilty enough to deserve death, but I also have no obligation to save them.” Pei Ye sneered. “It depends on my mood.”

Ying Lin: “…”

That actually made a lot of sense.

Although Pei Ye was gradually restraining her killing aura, it did not change the fact that her aura had once been so dense it could suffocate ghosts.

With such an aura, it was not hard to imagine what kind of ruthless figure she had been.

Pei Ye coldly said, “The number of lives on my hands, counted in units of millions at minimum, do you think I would care about a few ignorant little girls?”

Just as she finished speaking, Ying Lin ruined the atmosphere she had carefully built.

He asked, “In your past life… were you a man?”

Pei Ye: “???”

Ying Lin chuckled. “So that means…”

How could he possibly believe she had millions of lives on her hands?

In the late feudal era of this country, the entire population was only about seventy million. That bragging was way too outrageous.

“Get lost!!!”

Pei Ye’s temper flared. She no longer restrained her killing aura and instantly forced Ying Lin back several meters.

So she really got angry out of embarrassment?
