Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 859 - 407: Daughter of Fortune, Backlash from Borrowed Luck (Part 2)
To be honest, if the Yu family needs to borrow luck through an evil technique, then it proves that the family’s fate has reached its end, an irreversible decline.
Or does this mean the Yu family’s previous luck was borrowed from others too?
He was brainstorming here, while inside, Zhang Laifu was already starting the ritual.
He wielded the Peach Wood Sword in one hand and shook the bell with the other, moving with the Yu Step between the two people, his steps getting faster and the spell being chanted more rapidly.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight, plunging the world into darkness.
Zhang Laifu twirled the sword into a flower, the tip pointed towards Shen You’an, suddenly the wind rose, lifting Zhang Laifu’s wide sleeves.
"Fluorescent Guards the Heart, Greedy Wolf Eats the Moon; Nine Earthly Yin Soldiers, listen to my command—."
The lights in the warehouse flickered suddenly, seven oil lamps with tongues of fire wavering, creating an even more eerie and horrifying atmosphere.
However one might see it, the scene was bizarre, but several men in black ignored it, focusing solely on standing postures.
"Taiyin Erosion, Azure Dragon Fall, borrow her century-old Hongluan luck, exchange for her today’s Heavenly Ladder—borrow!"
Zhang Laifu shouted loudly, heaven and earth changed colors, wild winds swept across the ground.
Zhang Laifu felt immense joy in his heart; he had actually succeeded.
Yu Ruohuan’s face suddenly showed a hint of pain, cold sweat on her forehead increasing.
In contrast, Shen You’an showed no reaction at all.
Zhang Laifu didn’t have time to think deeply before he saw Yu Ruohuan suddenly clutch her chest, and "wah" — blood spurted out from her mouth.
Yu Ruohuan weakly opened her eyes: "Why? I feel so uncomfortable, it hurts so much...."
Zhang Laifu was stunned for a moment—it shouldn’t be like this, wasn’t the one borrowing luck supposed to be the one vomiting blood? How did it turn around?
Suddenly, he clutched his chest, as if hit by a large rock, the sudden pain almost made him lose his balance.
Then, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed forth.
His brain buzzed, his face paler than a ghost.
Could it be karmic retribution? Taoism emphasizes cause and effect, this kind of wickedness violates causality, not embraced by the Heavenly Dao, even if successful, one day will suffer retribution; he had long explained this to Yu Ruohuan, who accepted it, saying they’ll enjoy themselves first regardless of the uncertain future.
But he never thought retribution would come so swiftly.
Wrong, this is wrong!
He suddenly looked up at Shen You’an, who had been unresponsive all along.
Could it be—thinking of this possibility, he began to tremble all over.
The always "unconscious" Shen You’an chose this moment to slowly open her eyes.
Her pitch-black bright eyes were like the mystery of the moon, the brilliance of stars, unfathomable and enchanting.
Moonlight penetrated the dark clouds, once again spreading brilliance, illuminating the girl’s stunning face.
Seeing those eyes, that face, Zhang Laifu’s mind exploded.
This visage...
He had learned simple physiognomy; this girl’s visage was supremely noble, a sign of extremely powerful luck.
Actually, when reading eight characters earlier, he felt something was off, this kind of eight characters was extremely rare, a life destined for great blessing, but the year pillar held malefic stars and taboo stars, bringing more misfortune, a childhood replete with tragedies, born into poverty, facing numerous disasters as a child, having a shallow bond with parents and elders, inherently needing to rely on oneself to achieve success, but when the grand luck incites, as it reaches the peak luck of Seven Killing, the year and the destiny form a "Three Combines Seven Killing Board" with misfortune descending.
To put it simply, this person might have a noble life, but the Seven Killing obliterates the day master, and the day master is weak and rootless, encountering grand luck inciting Seven Killing, approaching a perilous path, either dead or gravely harmed.
Whereas Yu Ruohuan is the opposite, her year pillar adorned with auspicious stars benefiting the day stem, her luck doubled, indicating strong protection from ancestors and parents, but after eighteen, her fortunes decline rapidly.
Their eight characters complemented each other, borrowing luck seemed quite fitting.
But at this moment, seeing Shen You’an’s visage, he realized he was wrong, tremendously wrong.
The source of the Seven Killing lies in past life karmic debts, requiring resolving cause and effect to transcend calamities, this girl’s visage evidently had safely transcended the calamities, furthermore, fortified her fate with seals, ensuring smooth fortunes from henceforth, unstoppable.
Such luck, the strongest he had ever seen in his life.
How could Yu Ruohuan’s broken fate succeed in borrowing luck, it’s likely to backfire terribly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Zhang Laifu realized his colossal mistake, such wicked ways inherently encounter retribution, if the other party had typical luck it’d be more manageable, but with such strong luck, the retribution they’d suffer will only be more terrifying.
At this moment, he was so terrified that his whole body was shaking, his teeth chattering.
Shen You’an languidly rose, stretching her limbs, sighed: "Pretending is truly exhausting."
Yu Ruohuan knelt on the ground, incredulous, looking at Shen You’an: "You...you were faking it all along?"
Shen You’an glanced at her, her superior gaze looking down on her like scrutinizing an ant.
"You schemed for months, it wouldn’t be right to disappoint you, so I played along, so this was your big act, borrowing luck? You’ve read too many fantasy novels."
Shen You’an glanced at Zhang Laifu: "Still, you do have a bit of Taoist skill, pity you didn’t follow the righteous path, aiding the villain."
Yu Ruohuan, enduring the piercing pain in her chest, pointed at several men in black and shouted: "Grab her for me and beat her hard."
If she can’t borrow luck, then kill her!
Yu Ruohuan’s eyes glimmered with madness.
The men in black remained motionless, as if they didn’t hear Yu Ruohuan’s command at all.
Yu Ruohuan raged, "Are you deaf? I told you to act."
The men in black finally moved, Yu Ruohuan was overjoyed, but the next moment, she collapsed.
The group of men in black bowed respectfully towards Shen You’an.
In that moment, the graceful and poised girl dressed in black was evidently their master.
Yu Ruohuan assumed she was seeing things.
"What are you doing? Whoever pays is the master, I am your master!"
Shen You’an smiled slightly and nodded at the nearest man in black: "Go ahead, tell her who I am."
The man in black did not avert his gaze, "You led the White Gloves out of internal turmoil, establishing a new system, Bob devoted himself to you, so you are our master."
The man’s voice was strong and resonant, with indisputable clarity.
Yu Ruohuan fumed, choking for breath, spitting out another mouthful of blood, her complexion as pale as a ghost.
Her eyes glared venomously at Shen You’an, wishing she could devour her flesh and drink her blood.
"I never thought I underestimated you all along, fine, very well."
She suddenly shouted, regardless of consequence: "Zhao Lin, kill her for me."
Zhao Lin witnessed all that just transpired, upon hearing Yu Ruohuan’s call, he entered with his gun.
He aimed his pistol at the girl in black in the center, the girl looked up, he recognized her face.
He remembered a secret meeting with Lei Jian not long ago, where Lei Jian told him, the Yu family was unworthy of their loyalty, the person they truly should be loyal to had been smeared by the Yu family with baseless slander, and those disgraceful slanders required time to cleanse, that day was drawing near.
And during these days, he needed to see clearly the character of the Yu family he was loyal to.
He thought, at this very moment, he saw clearly.
