Chapter 51

The power suppressing Ding Ning's left eye began to fade. The harder he tried to make the Land God's fortune worse, the faster this power dissipated.

Ding Ning now understood that his left eye not only allowed him to see fortune but also had the ability to change a person's fortune.

This change was based on his own will. If he wished for the Land God to be destitute in the future, this power would act according to his will.

Fortune and destiny were closely linked. If, as Ding Ning had seen, the Land God's fortune in his later years was still excellent, it would mean he could easily avoid the disaster that would come the next morning. The provincial department's investigation would likely end without any substantial evidence.

Because if he were caught and sentenced, he would have no fortune left.

If he were to be destitute in his later years, it was very likely that he would not survive the next day's ordeal, be imprisoned, and lose all his fortune.

The Land God, who was behind the wall, had no idea that the fat man in front of him harbored such malicious thoughts.

After all, the Land God was still a resident of Yue Family Village. He did not dare to use a gun within the village because many people had seen Ding Ning today. If there were gunshots, it would inevitably be discovered, and he would be in trouble. He still wanted to live a good life, so he led Ding Ning here.

He thought he was safe hiding behind the wall, but he did not know that Ding Ning had given him a fate worse than death.

Ding Ning's power suppressing his left eye was completely released, and the Land God's fortune in his later years finally turned to nothing.

"Nothing? Could it be that when you are in prison, you will be so poor that you don't even have underwear?"

Ding Ning's mind was filled with unpleasant thoughts as his eye gradually returned to normal with the disappearance of the power.

But he could still see the Land God's fortune.

"It's done. I can't delay my master's treatment any longer; I must leave."

Ding Ning finally let out a breath of relief, though he wanted to kill this person, the current outcome was probably not much better than death.

Moreover, this way, there would be no aftereffects. The Land God would definitely not dare to reveal what happened tonight, as it would only worsen his situation.

Supporting his master out of the temple, Ding Ning left. As he was about to go out, the Land God in the wall's hidden compartment sighed in relief, seemingly glad that the pest Ding Ning had not discovered him.

Resisting the urge to take the loose change from the temple's incense offerings, Ding Ning came to the temple's entrance and saw the BMW car driving over crookedly.

*****

Although Yue Ge'er had inherited the family business and managed a large group, she was still essentially a little girl.

Little girls tend to get sleepy at night, and she had always been very regular in her schedule. It was very late today, and at first, she was waiting for Ding Ning to come out of the temple, but gradually she could not hold on.

The car continued to drive at a steady pace, and Jiajia secretly admired Ding Ning. At this speed, if someone were to attack, she could accelerate and leave at any time.

However, after several hours of driving, she was also feeling drowsy, her eyelids fighting against the sleepiness, and her body struggling to stay awake.

Ding Ning saw the car driving crookedly and couldn't help but shout, "I'm out!"

Jiajia was startled, and Yue Ge'er also woke up suddenly. Both of them saw Ding Ning at the temple entrance.

It was almost four in the morning, and the sky was beginning to lighten. It was not as dark as before.

Seeing Ding Ning with an old man at the temple entrance, Jiajia quickly regained her spirit and drove the car over.

Ding Ning helped his master into the car, then threw the alchemy furnace into the trunk, and the large guandao was also placed inside. He made Yue Ge'er sit in the front passenger seat, and he and his master sat in the back.

"Drive fast, to where I got in the car!"

There were detoxifying herbs in his master's Guandi Temple. Over the years, the herbs had saved many people in the village who had been bitten by venomous snakes. Ding Ning had learned some detoxification knowledge from his master.

Moreover, his master had deep inner strength and had already treated his wound. Ding Ning believed his master could hold on.

Jiajia also noticed that the old man was not in a normal state, and the BMW sped away.

After leaving Yue Family Village and getting on the highway, they drove at full speed. In less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at Green Mountain Village. As they turned, Ding Ning saw a fleet of police cars heading towards Yue Family Village.

"Old bastard, let's see how you die this time."

Ding Ning cursed in his heart as the car drove to the Guandi Temple.

Helping his master out of the car, Ding Ning found the herbs in the temple and applied them to his master.

During this process, Yue Ge'er and Jiajia watched Ding Ning curiously.

Especially Yue Ge'er, who seemed very curious about Ding Ning.

This young man was about her age, but he was like a mystery. They had known each other for less than a day, but this fat boy's performance had surprised her.

His ease in the casino, his surprising skills during the conflict, and finally bringing an old man out of the temple—none of these were typical of an ordinary young man.

Even now, as he focused on treating the old man's snake bite, he showed unusual skills.

If it weren't for meeting Ding Ning, Yue Ge'er couldn't imagine what would have happened to her. It would have been a very tragic outcome.

His master had already treated the wound, and after Ding Ning applied the herbs, he felt that there would be no major issues. He then remembered the two women.

Ding Ning took out the deeds and property titles his master had given him and showed them to Yue Ge'er. "Look at this. Is it your family's?"

Yue Ge'er took them, glanced at them, and her beautiful eyes immediately filled with tears. Her fair hands trembled with excitement, and she looked at Ding Ning, unable to speak.

She was looking at Ding Ning, and Ding Ning was also observing her.

Through his left eye, he could see Yue Ge'er's fortune if he wanted to.

"Yue Ge'er, 16 years old, excellent fortune in youth, poor fortune in adulthood."

This was what Ding Ning saw initially, but after giving her the deeds and property titles, Yue Ge'er's fortune in adulthood and future fortune also returned to excellent.

Ding Ning tried to use his left eye to change her fortune, but after the power suppressing his eye disappeared, he lost the ability to change her fortune.

This power seemed not to be used frequently. Ding Ning could feel it slowly recovering, but he didn't know when he could use it again.

However, his actions had still changed Yue Ge'er's fortune, at least proving that her future would not be tragic.

Yue Ge'er raised her hand and lightly wiped her eyes, revealing a bright smile. "Classmate, how can I thank you?"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Ding Ning's heart beat slightly.

Which young man is not romantic? Which girl does not dream of love?

Although Ding Ning had the memory of a cultivator, he had no memories of romantic relationships. The sight of Yue Ge'er, with her tears and beauty, was not something he could ignore.

Yue Ge'er noticed the change in Ding Ning's eyes and became nervous.

Ding Ning had not only saved her life but also preserved her family's heritage and helped her through a major crisis.

These favors were too great to repay.

But this look was too familiar to Yue Ge'er. It was a look of admiration and desire, one she had seen from many young men.

What if this fat boy made some excessive demands?

She wanted to repay Ding Ning, but she was not prepared for this, nor did she have such intentions. Although Ding Ning seemed capable, he was not her ideal choice.

At least, she never thought her future prince charming would be a fat boy. Although Ding Ning's appearance was dramatic, Yue Ge'er instinctively felt that he might be there for her.

Her heart raced, her face flushed, and she was at a loss.

He was about to speak! He was going to make his request!

What should I do? Should I agree, or run away?

Jiajia also clenched her fists tightly. This situation was too contradictory. The fat boy had helped the young lady greatly, but if he asked to date her, Jiajia felt he was not worthy.

Moreover, it seemed the fat boy was about to make excessive demands. How should the young lady respond? What should I do?

Under Yue Ge'er's intense anxiety, Ding Ning finally spoke.

"Can you... can you... can you promise me to replace the trees in the green belt of the Haibin municipal government?"

"No!"

Yue Ge'er almost instinctively said no, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she was stunned.

What did this fat boy say? Replace what trees?

Not only Yue Ge'er, but even Jiajia, who was conflicted, was stunned.

Strange things happen every year, but this year has been the strangest. This fat boy must be crazy to ask for something like that at such a good opportunity.

*****

Hei Tu was both happy and annoyed today. He was happy because he received many rewards, proving that his book was still liked by many readers.

He was annoyed because the Three Rivers votes were not going well. The opponent, with three thousand followers, had over four hundred Three Rivers votes, meaning one in every eight readers voted. In contrast, with over eight thousand followers, he had less than three hundred Three Rivers votes.

Many people do not vote for Three Rivers, and his ratio was actually quite good, but the opponent's ratio was too high, far exceeding his psychological limit.

There's no need to say more; everyone understands. I'm updating at midnight and asking for recommendations. We're just a little short of making it to the top list, let's show everyone our popularity! This can indirectly prove many things.
