Fate Trading System – Chapter 110

Plan A

Rise in Another World 22

Injured

Indeed, no, because he is a very successful ‘vessel’.

Lang Yi’s eyes were lifeless, sinking into familiar drowsiness, allowing Lang Xun to skillfully arouse his senses, self-destructively.

After this session of intimacy, Lang Yi had begged for mercy countless times. He knew that Lang Xun enjoyed seeing him beg, seeing him in pain made Lang Xun very happy.

“I feel that person would be very suitable for me. She might be easier than you, and I wouldn’t have to wait so long.”

Lang Xun got up, fiddling with Lang Yi’s soaked black hair.

“Why don’t you do it yourself?”

Lang Yi’s eyes were filled with confusion. If this man acted on his own, wouldn’t it be much easier? Wouldn’t the final result be the same anyway?

Lang Xun chuckled softly, and Lang Yi’s expression immediately turned gloomy.

“Are you lying to me?”

“I’m just teasing you. Who knew you’d take it seriously? How can you still be so naive after all this time?”

Lang Xun’s voice was indulgent, as if scolding his little lover.

“How could I possibly let you go? I will never let you go.”

Lang Xun’s voice still sounded pleasant, but the taste of hatred in his words was chilling.

“Of course Yan’er will help me deal with them. As you said, I could do it myself, so why would I need you?”

Lang Yi turned his head, facing the wall, as if unwilling to face reality.

Lang Xun left, the sound of the wheelchair turning gradually fading away.

Lang Yi caressed his belly. His hands had been untied, but his feet were still bound.

There was a life inside, but perhaps it wasn’t a life at all.

Lang Xun was an evil demon. He had destroyed the entire eighth floor and turned him into his current state.

But… it was he who caused Lang Xun to become such a pervert.

Lang Xun was previously recognized as a genius on the eighth floor. His cultivation speed was incredibly fast, reaching a level that left people in awe. Some even praised him as a miracle.

When Lang Xun was nearly 300 years old, the transmission array to the ninth floor appeared beneath his feet. He was possibly only one step away from becoming a god, but Lang Yi ruined it for him.

Lang Yi appeared there at the final moment, wanting to pull Lang Xun away from the transmission array and step on it himself.

Who knows if this method would have succeeded? But at that time, Lang Yi was as if possessed, with voices in his mind screaming to take Lang Xun’s place.

Lang Yi successfully disrupted Lang Xun’s journey to the ninth floor, but he didn’t succeed in going there himself. The plan failed.

The magical elements in Lang Xun’s body became turbulent, greatly reducing his power. Because the transmission was forcibly interrupted halfway, Lang Xun’s legs developed problems.

Although there was nothing physically wrong with his legs, he just couldn’t stand up and walk. If he forced himself to stand and walk, his legs would be in extreme pain.

Despite the setback in his abilities, Lang Xun’s strength was still not to be underestimated.

Lang Xun went mad, entering a state of frenzy, and destroyed the entire Lang family.

Many people were killed by Lang Xun. The other major families each minded their own business, closing their doors tightly and ignoring these matters.

This is why the Lang family has become what it is today, with only Lang Xun and his younger sister, Lang Yan, as the remaining masters.

In fact, the seventh floor beasts’ estimation of the eighth floor humans was incorrect.

The high-level mages of the eighth floor also faced increasingly severe problems with their descendants.

Previously, they had many people, and even now they’re not few in number, but the branches within the family are becoming fewer and fewer. To be precise, there are fewer and fewer girls.

Without women, where would children come from?

The eighth floor lacked women to such an extent, but despite this, they were unwilling to leave the Sky-reaching Tower to bring women from outside. They despised those women for their low abilities, unable to produce more excellent offspring for them.

So, for a time, an extremely crazy scene appeared. Newborn baby girls were very pampered, growing up protected from childhood, but strictly required to cultivate.

When a girl reached fourteen years old, she would face her fate.

But those girls didn’t feel it was painful. From a young age, they were indoctrinated that serving their fathers and brothers was normal. A girl’s first man was usually her own father, then her brothers, uncles, disregarding human ethics to the extreme.

Yet those who knew didn’t speak, and those who didn’t know continued in ignorance, thinking what they were doing was right.

Girls were all for public use in the family, to produce excellent offspring for their family. The products of incest were not deformed, but rather mages with purer bloodlines more suitable for cultivating magic, which led to even more frenzied behavior from those people.

Women were constantly giving birth and engaging in intimate acts while cultivating.

Despite this, women’s status didn’t rise much, at least not their political status.

After all, in other aspects, no one dared to offend the girls, but the power holders and core constructors of each family were all men.

Those men were also very clever, on one hand elevating the women, on the other hand instilling the notion that girls should be enjoyed and bear children.

The big change came from an extremely evil method that Lang Xun obtained from somewhere. This method could quickly restore his lost strength and expand reproduction. After the other four major families learned of it, they began to use it.

That was the vessel.

Using a man’s body as a medium, taking special pills, after seven times seven days, the man could become pregnant.

Generally, there would be two results. One was that the vessel would give birth to a normal child, just like a woman, but the success rate was generally low. Usually, the child would die in the belly, or be born as an ordinary person without much cultivation ability.

Ordinary people had no reason to exist for the people of the eighth floor, so they were considered discarded.

The second result was that the child would transform into a spirit fetus in the body. This was what Lang Xun pursued with an even lower probability, because when the spirit fetus was born, it could be directly refined and absorbed, greatly increasing one’s magical ability. This was much, much faster than direct cultivation.

After obtaining this method, the first person Lang Xun tried it on was Lang Yi.

All the others in the family except Lang Yan were boys, and Lang Xun had tried it on all of them, but only Lang Yi and one younger brother succeeded.

However, the spirit fetus in that younger brother’s belly was not active enough. After six months, when it was born, the younger brother’s body couldn’t withstand it and self-destructed.

That scene was very disgusting, but Lang Xun calmly picked up the spirit fetus and absorbed it, ignoring the already dead person.

Lang Yi looked as if he was about five months pregnant, but in fact, it had been a year and a half. The spirit fetus in his belly was growing very slowly, but Lang Xun valued it highly.

Lang Xun didn’t need to leave behind offspring, so he didn’t care about the children in those people’s bellies, letting Lang Yan handle them as she pleased.

This behavior was almost pushing the Lang family towards extinction. Lang Xun was destroying the Lang family, although the current Lang family wasn’t much different from being destroyed.

But as long as Lang Xun was alive for a day, others on the eighth floor wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.

After hearing about this, the other three major families also closed their doors to do this kind of thing, but they weren’t like Lang Xun, experimenting on their own brothers and casually killing them. The other three major families cared very much about their offspring.

Lang Yi closed his eyes. He no longer regretted it, because regret had no effect and couldn’t bring him psychological comfort.

If only he could die soon.

The eighth floor craved strong women, and the two humans and one mythical beast who had just arrived and didn’t know much about the situation had returned to the Lang mansion.

It must be said that this was truly a holy land for cultivation. The magical elements in the air were very active and abundant, seemingly endless. The speed of absorption into the body and circulation was faster than outside, which meant that people cultivating in the eighth floor of the Sky-reaching Tower might be twice as fast as those outside. No wonder outsiders couldn’t compare at all.

Su Xin and the others were settled in the rooms arranged for them by Lang Yan. Three side rooms were arranged, adjacent to each other. Originally, it was one room per person, but in the end, Yu Si lived in one room, while Su Xin and Nan Cheng lived in one room.

Nan Cheng proposed that she and Su Xin should stay together, and Su Xin agreed without much hesitation. After all, this place was very strange, and it would be safer for two people to stick together. That Lang Xun obviously seemed to have figured out Nan Cheng’s identity, increasing the danger factor.

“When should we make our move?”

Lang Yan stood behind Lang Xun.

“After he gives birth, let me recover my strength first. Keep an eye on those two, don’t let anyone else snatch them away.”

“If they want to leave on their own…”

Lang Yan seemed to have some objections to this decision, because if they had to wait for Lang Yi to give birth, who knows how long it would take. He had been carrying that thing in his belly for a year and a half, and it still looked like five months. Lang Yan wouldn’t be surprised if Lang Yi took three years to give birth.

Wouldn’t it be better to deal with the newly arrived women early?

Moreover, the Yi Shi was about to open, and she heard from the servants that those three seemed particularly interested in the Yi Shi. There would be many people at the Yi Shi, and the rule of the eighth floor was that no one could make a move at the Yi Shi, to avoid disrupting the order of transactions.

“They won’t leave on their own. That woman hasn’t found the person she’s looking for yet. Just keep a close eye on them. Do you think anyone in the entire eighth floor dares to snatch people from me?”

Lang Xun asked rather contemptuously. Although he couldn’t destroy this place with his own power, no one would dare to challenge him. It’s not that they couldn’t defeat him if they all attacked together, they certainly could eliminate him, but who would be willing to pay that price? The few families on the eighth floor were only superficially harmonious but actually at odds with each other. If anyone acted rashly first, they might be wiped out by others.

“Yan’er, I believe you can handle these matters well.”

“Of course, brother. I will definitely handle these things well for you.”

Lang Yan promised solemnly, very happy with Lang Xun’s trust.

If worse comes to worst, just lock them up, wouldn’t that be fine?

Lang Yi wanted to go out, striving for the freedom to walk in the courtyard, but was refused by Lang Xun.

“Elder brother, it’s best not to play any tricks in front of me. It’s impossible for you to go out, and besides, in your current state, if you scare away my ‘guests’, what should I do?”

Lang Xun stroked Lang Yi’s black hair, increasing the force of his hand, as if petting a disobedient pet.

“How is that possible? Has the Lang family really become so small that I might encounter guests just by walking in the courtyard?”

Probably in this state, he might not even encounter outsiders even if he walked for a quarter of an hour.

Lang Xun’s smile disappeared, and Lang Yi lowered his head and fell silent.

Su Xin was sitting in her room cultivating. Ten days had passed, and they seemed to have been ignored by the masters of this place, but not entirely. Every day, people would bring them three meals on time.

They just couldn’t see Lang Yan and Lang Xun, after all, their house was too big.

If they wanted to go out, no one would stop them, but there would be a bunch of people following them.

Su Xin had asked once what they were doing, and the servant replied that they were cultivating.

There were hardly any people to be seen on the streets, and there was no way to find anyone. Su Xin fell into a state of helplessness, only able to suppress herself for now and use the natural advantages of this place to rapidly increase her strength.

The first disturbance began with a scream.

Su Xin and Nan Cheng immediately became alert and stood up from their rooms, walking out the door.

The sound only rang out once, then fell silent. It was impossible to judge which direction it came from, but for a person to be able to scream to that extent was also a kind of miracle. It could only mean that the owner of the scream was in extreme, extreme pain.

But soon after, Su Xin knew where the sound had come from.

That courtyard emitted a very strange light, like a line-shaped thing descending from the sky, very beautiful.

Yu Si had also stood out. The three of them exchanged glances and tacitly walked towards the direction where the light was shining.

The whole way was eerily quiet, with nothing to be seen.

The numerous servants of the Lang mansion seemed to have disappeared all at once, with no one guarding the surroundings.

Su Xin saw what the situation was, and her pupils contracted, her stomach churning.

The place where the light fell wasn’t as beautiful as the light itself, but rather filled with cruelty and bloodshed.

A man lay on the ground, his lower body completely covered in blood, looking as if he had already fainted.

Lang Xun sat in his wheelchair, holding something like a baby in his hand. The baby’s umbilical cord was still connected to the body of the man on the ground.

Lang Yan stood not far away watching all this, her expression very excited.

Su Xin watched as that child gradually dissolved at Lang Xun’s fingertips, its body becoming nothingness.

It wasn’t becoming transparent, it was as if it was being absorbed bit by bit by Lang Xun.

The skin, flesh, and blood together were devoured.

When the baby completely disappeared, that blue light also vanished.

“I’m sorry to let my guests see such a situation, but his commotion was indeed a bit too much.”

Lang Xun sighed, washing away the dirt on his hands with water magic, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Lang Yi on the ground.

“Take good care of elder brother, look after him well.”

Lang Xun instructed Lang Yan behind him.

Lang Yan pouted and called for servants.

Su Xin observed that the man on the ground wasn’t dead; his chest still showed signs of movement.

It was very strange. A man gave birth to a child, and then that child was absorbed by another man.

Was that thing really a child?

Lang Xun felt power flowing through his bloodstream, smiling while supporting his head, with quite a bit of evil charm.

“Originally, I planned to proceed gradually, but I didn’t expect this thing to cause such a commotion when it came into the world. The previous one clearly didn’t have such a disturbance. Since you’ve been disturbed, I might as well continue.”

Su Xin frowned, her heart on high alert. She sensed malice.

“Yan’er.”

Lang Yan had somehow moved behind the three of them, in a posture blocking their way.

“Excuse me.”

Lang Xun raised his hand towards Su Xin. Su Xin only felt something wrapping around her waist, pulling her towards that side.

“Furan.”

Nan Cheng called out. Su Xin frowned slightly and did a backflip to land.

Lang Xun could condense magical elements into solid objects. What had just hooked around Su Xin’s waist was water element that had been solidified. Su Xin had dispersed it.

“I can let go of the others, but I want you to stay.”

Lang Xun still sat steadily in his wheelchair, as if the destruction of his thing just now was a very normal occurrence.

Nan Cheng’s expression changed, her reaction even bigger than the person being addressed.

It’s so annoying. Why do people always want to get close to her?

There are always people, time and time again, recklessly trying to get close to her. Although she has already been very low-key, why is she always coveted?

“I don’t know where you got that method from, but don’t even think about using her as your vessel to produce that thing.”

Nan Cheng, more sensitive than anyone else, was the first to sense what Lang Xun’s true purpose was.

Su Xin’s expression was very unpleasant. To have her give birth to some ghostly thing, how could that be possible?

“A mythical beast from the seventh floor, huh? Why come to meddle in the affairs of us humans on the eighth floor?”

Lang Xun was still unhurried, not showing any embarrassment at having his purpose exposed.

“That’s none of your business.”

The intentions of both sides were already very clear. Lang Yan didn’t intervene, quietly watching Lang Xun face off against the three of them, as if he had this confidence.

Even a fallen demigod, after recovering part of his strength, could unleash very powerful force.

However, Lang Xun seemed to have overestimated his recovery. He found it very difficult to face three women alone. At the beginning, he was still at ease, but later he gradually found it hard to sustain.

If his legs could walk, it definitely wouldn’t be such a disadvantageous situation. He could indeed stand up and walk, but that pain wasn’t physical, it was a direct strike to the soul. If he stood up, it would put him in an even more unfavorable position.

Lang Xun first knocked Yu Si flying. Yu Si didn’t make much noise, and she wasn’t the target he wanted to deal with. Of course, he didn’t use lethal force. After all, she was a woman, and it would be such a waste if she just died like that.

Yu Si and Lang Xun were both water system mages, but obviously Lang Xun’s level was incomparably higher than Yu Si’s.

That kind of victory wasn’t just in technique and incantations. Lang Xun had clearly mastered water system magic to a very proficient degree, almost to the peak level.

After Su Xin blocked an attack for Yu Si, Yu Si was still half-kneeling on the ground. Although it was already winter, sweat was dripping down her forehead.

How could this be? To be defeated by someone else just like that.

Yu Si didn’t mean to be complacent, but she indeed thought she was strong enough. But in the current situation, compared to this mage who used the same system as her, she looked so weak.

“Furan, are you alright?”

Yu Si hurriedly went to check on Su Xin, who was helped up by Nan Cheng.

Lang Yan joined the battle, just in case.

Nan Cheng went to attack Lang Xun, but Lang Xun’s target was firmly set on attacking Su Xin.

To be precise, it wasn’t attacking, but entangling.

He wanted to control Su Xin on his side, to restrain her by his side.

How could Su Xin let him succeed? But Lang Yan on the side was constantly harassing her.

Lang Yan later directly changed to entangling Nan Cheng, not letting Nan Cheng interfere with Lang Xun’s actions.

With Lang Yan’s participation, Lang Xun’s movements were obviously much more agile, looking much more at ease. So he was almost toying with Su Xin, pushing and pulling softly, not engaging Su Xin head-on.

Su Xin was so irritated by him that her temper flared up, not to mention that Yu Si on the side was already injured and coughing blood.

Motherf*cker.

Su Xin frowned, simply giving up her magic attacks and directly taking out her sword, attacking towards Lang Xun who was sitting there unable to move.

Lang Xun hadn’t anticipated that she had such a move up her sleeve. He rapidly controlled his wheelchair to spin, while simultaneously setting up a barrier around himself.

For Lang Xun, the healthier and stronger Su Xin was, the better.

A strong smell of blood wafted over, but it wasn’t from Yu Si.

Lang Yan had somehow been knocked to the ground. She had a very large wound on her left abdomen, which was continuously bleeding.

Nan Cheng’s fingers had already changed into claw shapes, emitting a sharp light, with blood dripping down. Nan Cheng’s eyes had also changed to cat pupils, looking extraordinarily terrifying.

“Brother…”

Lang Yan covered her wound, her expression full of self-blame.

She hadn’t expected that she couldn’t beat this… to be precise, this mythical beast.

Just now, this mythical beast’s movements were too fast, so fast that even she couldn’t see clearly. She only felt a severe pain in her left abdomen, and her flesh had already been slashed open.

If this person’s target had been her heart just now, perhaps she wouldn’t be alive anymore.

Lang Xun pressed his lips together, his expression turning cold.

When he had killed many people in this mansion before, the only one he favored was his own younger sister, almost pampering her to the skies, indulging her to do whatever she wanted.

Hurting his sister was absolutely crossing his bottom line.

But Lang Xun’s attempt to get Su Xin was also treading on Nan Cheng’s bottom line.

Su Xin felt an enormous pressure at that moment, only then realizing that the man in front of her hadn’t released his full power at all earlier.

Su Xin’s expression was icy cold. So what?

This place wasn’t just strange as she had initially felt, it was utterly disgusting.

This was a battle more difficult than we had imagined. Lang Xun was still sitting, and Su Xin wanted to grab Lang Yan as a hostage to threaten him, but she was blocked by a water screen.

Lang Yan stared blankly, as if seeing many years ago when her brother killed one person after another.

A sickly smile spread across her face as she looked at Lang Xun with infatuated eyes.

Was her brother getting angry for her?

Huge waves of water almost engulfed everyone. Su Xin couldn’t use magic elements, and Nan Cheng, who was also of the fire system like her, was trapped in here as well.

The air seemed to have been extracted, like being submerged at the bottom of the sea.

Su Xin closed her eyes and held her breath.

When you encounter difficulties, please calm down and think of a solution. No one can defeat you.

Because you are Su Xin, so no one can beat you.

Her body broke through the barrier. Su Xin opened her eyes and threw her sword at Lang Xun, her aim clear.

“No!”

Lang Yan tried to grab the sword with her bare hands. Lang Xun managed to move, avoiding his body.

The sword pierced through Lang Yan’s palm and stabbed into Lang Xun’s shoulder blade.

If it hadn’t been blocked, it could have pierced Lang Xun’s throat.

Damn it!

Lang Xun’s counterattack came in the next moment, seemingly no longer caring about his previous goal, filled with killing intent.

Su Xin felt something knock her down, warm blood spreading on her face.

“Nan Cheng!”
