She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Chapter 309: Past

As a stingy old man, Lin Jiansheng saved every cent he could. He did not need to spend money to use the teleportation station in the Divine Realm Continent, but Yu Huang had to buy tickets.

Therefore, when he went out with Yu Huang, Lin Jiansheng would use a free mode of transportation and would definitely not waste money to go to the space teleportation station.

Yu Huang expressed that she had money and could buy the tickets herself. Lin Jiansheng glared at her angrily and said, “Are you looking down on me? How can I be short of money for one ticket?”

Although Lin Jiansheng was stingy, he did not lack money.

After buying the tickets, the two of them used the teleportation station and quickly arrived at the capital of Cangyuan Empire.

The two of them drove to the primeval forest where the Broken Cliff was. On the way, Yu Huang asked Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, why did you want to be a Purifying Spirit Master back then?”

Lin Jiansheng asked, “Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”

Yu Huang paused for a moment before saying, “Let’s hear the lie first.”

Lin Jiansheng said, “I want to become powerful and serve the country.”

This was really fake.

“And the truth?”

Lin Jiansheng replied, “This is a high-paying profession.” This time, Lin Jiansheng sounded extremely sincere.

This answer made Yu Huang caught between laughter and tears. “Mentor, do you love money that much?”

“What do you know?” Lin Jiansheng crossed his arms and looked ahead. He said, “We were born before the era of science and technology, and we all suffered through it. At that time, life in the Holy Spirit Continent was very tough. At that time, not to mention mobile phones and hover cars, we didn’t even have electric lights.”

When she first arrived in this world, Yu Huang had specially gone to investigate the history of the Holy Spirit Continent.

One hundred and eighty years ago, the Holy Spirit Continent was very backward and poor. At that time, countries often fought with each other. The lives of the common people were very miserable. Many people lived meaningless lives until they died.

It was only when science and technology boomed and the development of society experienced a huge leap that the lives of the people became a little better.

Lin Jiansheng said, “In that chaotic era, Beast Tamers and Purifying Spirit Masters were truly respected occupations. If a village produced a Beast Tamer or Purifying Spirit Master, that village would become famous in the entire city!”

“When I was very young, my parents told me about the benefits of being a Beast Tamer or Purifying Spirit Master. My father died on the battlefield and my mother fell ill. She vomited blood and died of illness. I was only 13 years old that year. Medical conditions were very poor at that time. She didn’t even know what illness she had even until she died.”

“But I’m guessing she had lung cancer.”

He sighed softly and said, “In that era when medical conditions were poor, beast tamers were the most respected profession among patients. In our poor little county, there was never a healer. In order to treat my mother’s illness, I used a long belt to tie my mother, who was seriously ill, to me. I carried her on foot for more than 200 kilometers and went to the provincial city next door to seek help from a healer.”

“However, that lord asked for a consultation fee of ten thousand spirit stones, and that was a discount.”

At the mention of his mother, Lin Jiansheng recalled the regrets he had when he was young, and his mood instantly sank.

He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. His lips trembled as he said, “I took out all the savings in my bag. From head to toe, I only had 4,000 yuan.”

“Four thousand was only worth forty spirit stones. But that lord wanted ten thousand spirit stones. Even if I sold myself, it wouldn’t have been enough!”

Yu Huang couldn’t imagine how desperate Lin Jiansheng must have been under those circumstances. “Did your mother get saved?”

Lin Jiansheng shook his head. “No. At that time, there were people everywhere who didn’t have the money to treat illnesses. If that lord made an exception for me, countless people would look for him to purify their spirits for free. After seeking treatment to no avail, I carried my mother back to the village. On the way back, my mother couldn’t make it.”

Lin Jiansheng laughed self-deprecatingly. He said, “In order to earn more money, to get her illness treated, and to be able to afford food, I entered the Divine Realm Academy. If I couldn’t become a Beast Tamer, I would risk my life to become a Purifying Spirit Master.”

Lin Jiansheng did not hear Yu Huang’s words, so he smiled and asked Yu Huang, “You realized that your mentor is an ordinary person without any big ambitions. Little girl, are you disappointed in me?”

Yu Huang shook her head solemnly. “No, I just feel sorry for you.”

Lin Jiansheng was stunned. He turned his head to look out of the window awkwardly and muttered, “You’re just a child. Why are you feeling sorry for me?”

How could her heart not ache?

Yu Huang’s heart ached when she thought about how a 13-year-old teenager had to carry his sickly mother on his thin and weak body for more than 200 kilometers.

“Mentor, don’t worry. When you are seriously ill in the future, even if I have to go to the Upper World to seek treatment, I will get you treated!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng didn’t know if he should be relieved or angry. “Are you cursing me?”

“Of course not.”

The mentor and disciple chatted and laughed. When the sky was about to turn dark, they finally reached the edge of the primeval forest.

There were no roads in the forest, so they had no choice but to abandon the car and hike. They changed into hiking shoes, put on their hiking suits, and walked into the forest.

Winter was freezing. Many animals had gone into hibernation, but ferocious beasts like tigers and leopards had to go hunting.

After two days of snow, the forest was covered in snow. The animals lost the protection of the forest and were easily discovered. At this time of the year, the hunters started to get busy.

Hunting was a legal profession in the Holy Spirit Continent.

Yu Huang and Lin Jiansheng headed in the direction of the Broken Cliff. Along the way, they encountered several groups of hunters. These hunters were all wearing thick down jacket while carrying guns and knives. They were fully armed.

When they reached a small hill with a wide view, Lin Jiansheng said, “Let’s rest here tonight.”

“Okay.”

In the middle of the small hill, there was a roasting furnace made of stone. Most of the roasting furnace had been covered by snow, and only a circle of stones were exposed outside.

Yu Huang said to Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, clean up the snow. I’ll go gather some firewood to start a fire.”

“Okay.”

Yu Huang held a sword and walked into the forest alone.

She walked to the bottom of a winding tree. This tree was the thickest, perhaps because it had been struck by lightning before. Its trunk had been split in half, and its branches were already half withered.

The life of this tree had come to an end.

Yu Huang flew onto a tree branch, and the longsword in her hand flapped in the air. The branches that were as thick as her arm were cut off by the longsword, and were falling to the ground one by one. She felt that it was about time, and was just about to jump off the tree branch when she suddenly heard the sounds of men and women moaning from afar.

It was a sound that only adults would make when having sex.

Yu Huang paused and turned her head to glance at the small mountain behind her.

The forest should have been pitch black at night, but the light in the snow-covered forest was cold and white. A crescent moon hung in the leaden sky, making the forest appear cold and solemn.

Yu Huang saw that on the snowy mountain top, a man and woman had fallen to the ground before they could even take off their clothes.

She frowned and jumped off the tree.

If the couple were willing, it would be their battlefield everywhere. Yu Huang would not meddle in other people’s business. She tied the tree branches together and walked back with them. Suddenly, she heard a scream.

“Ah!”

It was from a man.

Yu Huang stopped in her tracks while thinking to herself: How intense must it be for him to cry out in pain?

She continued to walk forward. After taking a few steps, she suddenly heard the man’s painful cry for help. “Help, help! Help!”

Was it foreplay?

No.

There was the smell of blood.

Yu Huang immediately threw down the firewood and flew to the small hill next door. There was a pool of red blood that was still steaming hot. The couple from before had disappeared.
