章 57: 57. Random-Luck
Few Days Later
Xie Yue and others had been staying in this place for more than six days. It was already time for them to leave, since Ning Fengzhi had only allowed them to stay outside for ten days, Calculating the traveling time, the ten days end is nearing.
During these days, Xie Yue was able to meet Dugu Yan, but it was only once. Even then, he was unable to have a conversation with her, as the circumstances didn't allow him to contact her.
After that, he didn't get any other chance. So today, Xie Yue decided to leave the place and head toward his sect.
_________
Inside a Hotel Room
"Little Rongrong, Nana... get ready, we have to leave today," Xie Yue reminded them about their departure.
"Ummm... Big Brother, can't we play here for a little longer? Home is very boring," Rongrong said, hanging her head low, Looking pitiful.
"Haha, it's enough playing this time. We will play again next time. Now we have to go home; Father and Grandpa will miss us," Xie Yue said as he picked her up from the bed. He carried her outside as Hu Liena followed him.
He also wanted to stay outside for a long time; it would help him very much. But he still couldn't ignore Ning Fengzhi's words. If he stayed outside for more than ten days, Ning Fengzhi might get angry. At that time, crying wouldn't help him regain his freedom.
Soon, they reached outside the hotel. Xie Yue and others got into their luxury carriage that was waiting for them and headed toward the direction of the STGT sect.
---------
The inside of the carriage was luxurious and spacious. There, Xie Yue lay his head on Hu Liena's lap as he closed his eyes. Hu Liena also started massaging his head as she conversed with Ning Rongrong, who was playing with her newly bought toys.
Although soul masters didn't need massages or anything like that to relax, Xie Yue still liked that feeling of being served, so he taught Hu liena to massage him. Getting massaged by Hu Liena's soft hands always brought him peace.
As he enjoyed her gentle touch, Xie Yue thought about the gains he had from this trip.
"It seems I didn't gain much during this trip. Although I was able to interact with some important people and make some plans, I still didn't accomplish my main goal. I failed to get closer to Dugu Yan and only saw her from afar."
Xie Yue lamented about his bad luck. The so-called coincidence didn't work between him and Dugu Yan. Although he always played around with Ning Rongrong near Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, he only got to see Dugu Yan once. And that was from afar; before he had the chance to plan an incident and interact with her, she had already left.
'Sigh... I can only blame my bad luck for this'.
'But it doesn't matter. After all, I only wanted to try my luck with Dugu Yan. If I had been able to capture her heart at first sight with my handsomeness, that would have been great. But since it didn't work out this time, I can only go with my second plan. After all, I can't keep waiting for her like this every time and try my luck.'
Although he had thought about many ways to get close to Dugu Bo, his best plan and solution for this problem had always been Dugu Yan. Other plans had many loopholes that could backfire on him. So he didn't mind wasting some of his time trying this unreliable method by stalking the Snake Woman, even though he knew the success rate of this method was very low.
Getting Dugu Yan's heart would help him immensely. After all, once he captured her heart and body, even if Dugu Bo was dissatisfied with him, he wouldn't go so far as to harm him.
And Dugu Yan's value would never stop there. After he got his hands on those immortal grasses, even if Dugu Bo discovered their value, he wouldn't go as far as to kill him. After all, he was also a granddaughter slave like Qian Daoliu and will not hurt his granddaughter's feelings.
But now, without Dugu Yan's protection, even if he somehow met Dugu Bo and fooled him, Xie Yue was unsure Dugu Bo wouldn't kill him if he became suspicious of his actions. Xie Yue's background wouldn't protect him in that case.
A Title Douluo has many incredible ways to erase someone from this world secretly...
But these concerns only arose if Dugu Bo discovered the value of the immortal grasses. That wouldn't happen anytime soon. After all, unless Xie Yue, Tang San, Yang Wudi, or Yue Guan opened their mouths, Dugu Bo wouldn't know the value of those godly immortal grasses.
'Now, without Dugu Yan, I have to be careful in my actions... Sigh... What a hassle,' Xie Yue thought as he furrowed his brows subconsciously.
Even though there was little chance of Dugu Bo discovering the truth, he still didn't want to bet on that possibility. After all, what he was stealing was Tang San's opportunity that the Plane Spirit had set up. As the current child of luck in this world, stealing Tang San's chances could sometimes backfire.
Although the chances of that happening were small, since the Plane Consciousness was currently in a slumber.
(AN: Read CH 13 if you want to know how things work in the Douluo World.)
But being careful is never a bad thing. The matter of luck had always been a mystery; Xie Yue didn't want to be careless.
Tang San's opportunities could be stolen by Xie Yue since he was an anomaly in this world. In Douluo Planet, The so-called luck referred to the opportunities and growth route the Plane Spirit had set up and calculated. So, luck could be stolen by someone outside the "box." Here, luck was not that mysterious.
But...
After living in this world for more than ten years, with his current knowledge, Xie Yue was able to see many things clearly.
Although the child of luck was someone chosen by the Plane Consciousness, why was it Tang San? While it could be justified to say that the Plane Consciousness had awakened not long ago and chose the most potential one, why wasn't it Qian Renxue or Bibi Dong who were chosen? Their potential was better or equal to Tang San.
And in Douluo Dalu 2, was Huo Yuhao more talented than others?
There could be many reasons for that. Maybe Huo Yuhao was chosen after examining his life experiences and other qualities needed by that time's imprisoned Plane Consciousness, which wanted to create someone against Tang San, who had imprisoned it. Or maybe it was solely "random."
So, didn't being chosen by the Plane Consciousness depend on some mysterious luck in the first place? Is "random" not luck? Why was it Tang San who was chosen but not others?
It seemed like this luck was some universal law that was higher than planetary luck, which could also influence the planet spirit.
When thinking about these things, Xie Yue felt a headache. He was unable to understand this mystery at the moment, so he put it aside for later. However, he did understand something when connecting it to his past life knowledge. This luck was not something like the so-called fate people spoke of in his past life. This mysterious universal luck felt utterly "random," without consciousness.
But Xie Yue also knew that the so-called "random" was the outcome of this mysterious luck. Here, "random" played a mysterious role—a very, very random role.
Maybe he himself was also one of the outcomes of the "random." If he wasn't, he didn't believe he could travel through and occupy Xie Yue.
"Random worked in some mysterious ways... Random was the outcome of luck, and everything was the outcome of random." It was Xie Yue's current understanding regarding this matter.
Still, the fact that he was unable to completely understand this mysterious luck proved that there might be some chances of unexpected things happening against him.
Xie Yue was not sure if Tang San or others would meet Dugu Bo by some "random" coincidence and somehow plot against him. So he had to be careful until he completely devoured those grasses.
But that would take decades since he couldn't absorb another immortal grass without completely absorbing the previous one. That duration was more than enough for some unfortunate coincidence to occur. So he always wanted a foolproof plan where Dugu Bo wouldn't act against him.
'It's better if I change my second plan a little bit... Missing Dugu Yan won't do me any good,' Xie Yue thought as he relaxed his brows.
Seeing his furrowing and relaxing brows, Hu Liena felt a little worried.
'It seems my brother is in a bad mood. Sigh... I want to help him. But he won't say anything to me and keeps all his hardships to himself,' Hu Liena felt sad thinking about Xie Yue facing everything alone.
Hu Liena was always like this. Although furrowing his brows was a small matter, she didn't see it that way. She wanted her brother to live worry-free.
He had always protected her when she was a child. Now that she had grown up, she thought it was her duty to safeguard him. So she always thought of many ways to ease his worries.
But Xie Yue wouldn't say anything to her that would allow her to help him effectively, so now she could only do...
'I can only help my brother ease his stress by letting him ravage my mouth,' Hu Liena thought, her charming face blushing.
