Chapter 230 Light and Shadow
The woman sat down on the sofa chair with her back facing the fire.
The warm light emanated from behind her, outlining a rough outline of her figure, while her face was hidden in the darkness and no longer seemed terrifying and cunning.
She motioned Su Xueer to sit on another chair.
Su Xueer sat down and looked at the other person.
For some reason, a hint of relaxation and warmth suddenly arose in Su Xueer's heart.
"Do you want to see your future?" the woman asked.
"I don't want to." Su Xueer shook her head.
"Why? Isn't it a good thing to have a glimpse of fate?"
"I came to get rid of my fate, so I don't want to know what it was like."
The woman paused and asked again, "So, are you not satisfied with your life?"
“What aspect do you mean.”
"You are a young lady, of course I mean your life as a nobleman—a dance party, horse riding, afternoon tea, beautiful skirts."
"I am a professional in the Five Elements and Four Sections. Except for the skirt, these things are like shadows in the slides. They are unreal and boring." Su Xueer said.
"Professional...so, your willingness to come here is to gain strength?"
"Yes, I want to become stronger." Su Xueer said.
The woman suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"A true heir! I haven't met in hundreds of years."
She seemed very happy.
"Every successor is hesitant between power and power."
"Smart people will choose power, because after taking power, no matter what happens, just say a word, there will naturally be corresponding people to do it properly."
"Very few people choose to inherit power."
"This road is too difficult and dangerous. You will die at any time. And if you die, you will die in vain. You will get nothing. Even I cannot protect you."
"Your choice is full of courage, and next, you can ask me questions about strength as you like." The woman said.
"This is an unprecedented treatment, you have to seize it." She added.
Su Xueer said: "I saw the spaceship's control room. So, our Nine Mansions are from other planets?"
"That's right."
"Why?"
"There are many monsters in the universe here, and it is a remote corner, which can be regarded as a paradise."
"A paradise! Did we escape here?"
"Smart girl."
Su Xueer asked again: "But there are so many disasters in the world, what will we do in the future?"
"Disaster? What are you referring to?"
"Sea beast, murderous ghost, immortal game, killing clown."
"This is a disaster? It's just a hustle and bustle with loud thunder and small raindrops."
The woman shook her head and chuckled: "Please cherish your life now. There are few days like ours in the world."
"You mean, there will be more disasters?"
"Child, about strength, this is not what you really want to ask." The woman interrupted her question.
Su Xueer fell silent.
The woman looked at her as if she could see her heart.
"I can feel your uneasiness, but I want to say, please cherish the opportunity. Only on this day can every palace lord get the opportunity to change his destiny."
"After this day, no matter how much you regret it, you will not be able to get my help."
Su Xueer gritted her teeth and said, "Then I asked. If it is wrong, please don't mind."
"Tell me."
"How can I...get the power of the fifth section of the Five Elements?"
"Why do you need the power of the fifth stage?"
"To dominate your own destiny."
"Everyone who comes here asks how to dominate the world, only you want to dominate yourself."
"Can you tell me?"
"I'm not sure, come here, I need to take a closer look at you."
Su Xueer stood up and came to the woman.
The woman stretched out her bone fingers wrapped in a thin layer of human skin and gently held up Su Xueer's little hand.
"The special five elements, the fourth section of Feng Ling... has reached its limit and cannot break through again." The woman said softly.
"No."
Su Xueer's face turned pale in an instant, and she shook her head in despair.
The best wishes are shattered.
In fact, she also had a vague feeling about her talent.
There are few people in the world who can reach the fifth paragraph of the Five Elements.
The woman instead comforted her: "Fate is not eternal, we always have a way to change its direction."
"Please tell me the method."
"I need to look at you further, kneel down and raise your head."
Su Xueer knelt down as she said so that the woman could better examine herself.
The woman turned around and flipped the fire in the fireplace with an iron chisel.
The fire becomes warm and bright.
The woman was still sitting in the backlight, and the light reflected her outline into deeper darkness. She stretched out her bone-like hands and held Su Xueer's face and looked at it carefully.
Su Xueer faced the fire, her eyes full of desire shining brightly.
After a long time, the woman spoke.
"Guizang's power doesn't like you."
"God's choice... is blocked by your body and cannot reach your soul."
"The Five Elements, Feng Ling's power is about to fill up and can no longer accommodate more."
"What a solid fate..."
"Girl, don't you want to think of other ways, such as using power or wealth to change your life?"
The woman sighed and continued, "You are a rare heir, and I actually want to help you."
"I can tell you the handle of Emperor Fuxi, tell you the president's little secret, and even let that guy who opened up religion do one thing for you, and I can also help you attack other palace masters to expand the power of the Su Mansion."
"For your likableness, I can even adjust your authority very high from the Goddess of Justice to facilitate you to do anything."
"Goddess of Justice..."
“Yes, that’s ours.”
Su Xueer thought for a moment, still shook her head and said, "No, these are all external objects and cannot achieve my wish."
“I just want to gain the power that I control.”
The woman said: "It's hard and it takes a lot of expensive costs, even life."
"I'm willing to pay the price." Su Xueer said.
The woman looked at her deeply and waved for a while.
A low wooden table appeared beside the two of them.
"According to the rules of the inheritance ceremony," the woman said, "Every heir has the authority to let me activate the destiny-based natural skill, but their desires are too shallow, and I don't have to work hard to complete their inheritance."
"And you, little girl, you are very sober and know what is the most important thing."
"So you plan to help me?" Su Xueer asked.
"I repeat it again. Once I choose this path, I really may die." The woman said.
"I would rather die on the way to achieve my wish." Su Xueer said.
"This kind of courage, or recklessness, really made me look at it with admiration," the woman knocked on the table, saying, "It seems that I must be serious."
"Please put your belongings on it."
While she was talking, a black card appeared quietly, floating in the void above her head.
"How many items are put?" Su Xueer asked.
"All." said the woman.
"... These things will not be damaged, right?" Su Xueer hesitated.
"Of course not."
Su Xueer came out in a hurry and didn't have time to bring anything.
She placed her belongings on the table.
