The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 51 Jiangcheng 9 God, have mercy on the world!

Wen Li looked at the large spoon in front of her and thought that this person was even more difficult to deal with than she was.

"Having read some things, I can read and write. As for why I live, I also know."

Isn't she living for the Jiang family now?

As soon as Wen Li finished answering, the old lady's large spoon moved even closer to her, and Wen Li was so frightened that she took half a step back.

This old lady has such a fierce aura!

“I, an old woman, have never been educated, and most people in this world don’t have the opportunity to be either. Without education, you can only let the world teach you what to live for. You drift through half your life in a daze. But this is not the kind of life I wanted! You can choose how to live your life, don’t you think you’re lucky?”

Wen Li couldn't refute it and could only nod. Then she heard the old woman ask, "You cultivate immortality, so you have the ability to protect yourself. You can fight back against monsters, while we have no choice but to run away or die! Don't you think you're lucky?"

This time, Wen Li listened attentively. Her voice was soft and seemed to carry a hint of doubt: "I'm lucky?"

"You're not lucky? Your life is in your own hands, and you have to do whatever you want. My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson could lose their lives just by going to Danli to visit relatives! Now my life is in the hands of the King of Hell. If I don't set up this stall, I'll starve to death! In this world, who doesn't live by their own choice? But if you don't even have your own life in your own hands and don't know when you'll die, that's true misfortune!"

Wen Li felt a little ashamed at this moment, and her nose tingled as she looked at the old woman's hunched back.

She wanted to comfort her, but the old woman's aggressive demeanor showed no trace of sadness.

No one had ever taught her like this before, nor had anyone told her that she was lucky.

Seeing that Wen Li was listening to her quietly and remained silent for a long time, the old lady thought that she must have taken it to heart.

She sighed and advised, "Those who cultivate immortality should have greater empathy for us ordinary people who suffer. You are destined to become immortals and gods, so how can you protect all living beings if you cannot empathize with the suffering of the world?"

Empathy? Compassion?

Wen Li suddenly realized that the reason she couldn't become a god was because she had too little empathy, and Shen Yingsi's current descent into darkness was also due to a lack of empathy.

There's also empathy. Shen Yingsi dared to harm innocent people in Mushan Town, which is a sign of his loss of empathy!

God, have mercy on the world!

"Grandma, how can I improve my empathy and compassion?"

The old lady slowly returned to her stall and continued working, not even raising her head after hearing Wen Li's words.

"How would I know? But if you have time, you should visit Anle Medical Clinic more often. Maybe you'll feel luckier there."

Wen Lilian asked, "Where?"

The old lady picked up her long spoon again and pointed it at Wen Li, saying, "Where is it? Those people who rushed over just now were heading to Anle Medical Clinic. Just follow this river, and you'll find Anle Medical Clinic. But it's too late for you now. Doctor Anle only opens and treats patients randomly each day, without charging a fee. He closes after half an hour. If you really want to go, young lady, you can go tomorrow."

Going tomorrow is fine too.

"Grandma, I have a piece of jewelry. Keep it. You can hire a few helpers later, and you won't have to work so hard."

The old lady couldn't see the jewelry in Wen Li's hands through the hat veil, but guessed it must be very valuable.

She waved her hand and said, "Kill a few more demons and make life more peaceful in the human world, so my business will be easier to do."

Wen Li wanted to say something more, but the old woman stretched her long spoon out in front of her again.

"Did you hear that? Don't underestimate this old woman. I can't do anything to that demon, but I can still support myself."

"heard it."

Wen Li nodded, but the long spoon in front of her moved a little closer.

"Also, don't think that the world has wronged you at such a young age. If I see you still so hostile next time, I'll be sorry."

Wen Li thought this old lady was really interesting. One of them was wearing a mask, and the other was wearing a veil. If she changed her clothes tomorrow, the old lady might not recognize her.

“Okay, Grandma, my name is Ali. I’ll bring a friend over for breakfast tomorrow. You can also help him calm down.”

Wen Li carefully placed the gold ingot away and left without looking back, ignoring the old woman's calls behind her.

As Wen Li walked along the river, thinking of Shen Yingsi's injury, she decided to buy him some medicine. Unexpectedly, she found the clinic there.

Unfortunately, it's already closed.

Anle Medical Clinic is a very simple and inconspicuous shop. The only thing that can be seen on the sign in front of the shop is a sentence written in ink: "The most difficult diseases in the world can be easily cured by me."

That sounds arrogant, but he might actually have some skill.

Wen Li glanced at it twice and then walked away. She went to another clinic to buy some medicine, but on her way back, she unexpectedly discovered a strange woman following her suspiciously.

Wen Lixin's heart sank, and she quietly tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

But she relaxed after she saw the person clearly.

The woman wasn't wearing a mask and had an ordinary appearance. She was dressed neatly and cleanly, and wore some nice jewelry, suggesting she came from a well-off family. Her skin was delicate, and her tracking skills were terrible. Wen Li stole glances at her for a long time, but she didn't even realize she'd been discovered. She didn't look like a cultivator at all.

"Auntie, how long are you planning to stay with me?"

When they reached a deserted place, Wen Li suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

The woman was startled, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting around. Her timid and hesitant demeanor made it seem as if Wen Li had wronged her.

"Say something!"

"I...I just want to--"

The woman's voice was so soft it was like the buzzing of a fly, and Wen Li couldn't hear it clearly. She frowned and leaned closer: "Say it again?"

The woman opened her palm to Wenli, revealing a red hair ribbon inside.

"Child, your braid has come undone."

Wen Li pulled all the ends of her hair up to her chest to check. Hidden in her loose hair were four small braids, which had originally been tied on her head with red ribbons and were hanging down halfway. But now one of them was hanging down completely and half loose, and the ribbon was nowhere to be seen.

Wen Li doesn't wear headdresses often, but her hairstyle is always carefully styled. Although she only uses a few red hair ribbons to embellish her hair, it still looks exquisite and beautiful.

Her mother was the most refined person. Even when she fell on hard times, she still took great care in her clothing and appearance. Influenced by her, Wen Li always made sure to dress neatly and have her hair in a tidy manner, no matter how busy she was.

Wen Li took the hairband from the woman's hand: "Thank you."

The woman was terrified and repeatedly waved her hands and shook her head, saying, "No need, no need."

Seeing that the woman was not in a good state, Wen Li suspected that she might have some mental problems, so she softened her attitude and bent down slightly.

"Auntie, you've been following me for so long just to return my hairband?"

Seeing Wen Li's gentle attitude, the woman indeed relaxed.

“Little girl, you should look pretty. You are pretty. Your hair is messy, that's not good.”

The woman was about to pull Wen Li's hair when she spoke. Wen Li wanted to resist, but then she remembered what the old woman selling wontons had said.

Oh well, he's just a pitiful person.

Wen Li knelt down, letting the woman style her hair. The woman gently and skillfully braided Wen Li's disheveled braids.

"Auntie, where are your family members? Didn't they come out with you? Or do you know how to get home?"

Upon hearing Wen Li's words, the woman suddenly became excited.

"Daughter, I have a daughter! She's just as beautiful as you, and she's so amazing, so incredibly amazing!"

"What about your daughter?"

Hearing this, the woman's voice softened again: "I'm busy, my daughter has so many things to do. I can't disturb her."

The woman tied Wenli's hair with a ribbon and clapped her hands in satisfaction: "Beautiful!"

"Yes, that's beautiful, thank you. Shall I take you to find your daughter now?"

Wen Li was unusually gentle, but the woman began to shake her head frantically, her expression seemingly filled with fear.
