Ch 01 ~ Ghost Wizard (high)
~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~
“Qi Tian” was the only thing that his father and mother left him before their early demise. It was only that the people of the outside world called him the Ghost Wizard, so he had gradually forgotten his own name, too. After all, it was a name that no one would call, so it naturally lost its meaning.
Since childhood, he had raised legendary venomous insects. The people in the secular world always had numerous worries and long-lasting desires that could never be satisfied. The legendary venomous insects that he raised could satisfy the needs of certain people. Therefore, even though he lived alone in the densely foggy forest, there were still many people who were not afraid to die and cross over the swampy forest just to seek for only one legendary venomous worm.
Qi Tian had his own rules, one legendary venomous worm for ten gold ingots, could not negotiate the price, no exceptions.
However, in this vast world, there was always one person who could become someone’s unexpected.
Early that morning, he saw Li Yuan Bao in the swamp. She had been struggling in the mud all night. The lower half of her body was caught in the swamp, her hair was disheveled, and her difficult situation was written across her entire face. She could barely hold onto the broken branches with her upper body and all the tears in her eyes were of regret and despair.
Qi Tian could roughly understand her desperation but did not know what she was regretting.
Hearing sounds of footsteps slowly but steadily approaching, Li Yuan Bao exerted herself to raise her head. Her hoarse voice called out: “Help, help…”
Help, help me. After she saw Qi Tian’s face, she swallowed these three words into her belly.
It should be like this. Qi Tian understood that he was born with legendary venomous worms within his body. The legendary venomous insects had already become a part of his body that would live and die with him. They exist and migrate in his blood. Even his skin was uneven with bumps and dips and green veins covered the whole area, it was hideous and frightening.
No one would think that this face was good-looking. When he was young, he was called a “demon” and was driven away by his clan’s people. It was because of this disgusting face that his father and mother had lost their lives for being on the move and from being exhausted all day long.
Qi Tian looked at her for a while and then turned away indifferently to leave.
At this moment a trembling hand pulled the hem of his black cloak: “Help, help me…”
Seeking survival was an instinct, even if the captured driftwood could be demons and ghosts in her eyes.
Qi Tian was slightly startled, and then squatted down very calmly to one-by-one pry open Yuan Bao’s fingers. His movements were unhurried and ordinary, like brushing off the mud that had stick to his clothes. Yuan Bao was terrified looking at the disgusting green veins covering the entire back of his hand. She watched his movements and said not one word in her desperation.
“Help, help me.” When Qi Tian left, he heard her desperate cries in the swamp, like a helpless puppy begging to keep on living, “I beg of you. Please, save me…”
His footsteps stopped. He turned his head to see her whole face wet with tears and her eyes were filled with despair. So he nodded lightly: “Mhm.”
Qi Tian’s parents died early, so from a young age, he was lonely and wretched that developed his reclusive and eccentric personality. He did not distinguish between good and evil. Over the years, no matter what kind of person came to ask for the legendary venomous insects, so long as they could pay the price, he would sell. He did not save people or kill people. He only sold legendary venomous insects.
But in this world, there were always accidents.
When Qi Tian went to get the rope and went back to find Yuan Bao, she had already fainted. He thought for a while and then went forward to shake Yuan Bao awake.
At this moment, all the bones in Yuan Bao’s body hurt like it was crushed. She fainted because she really could not endure it anymore. Now she was awakened, which was undoubtedly a type of extreme torment for her.
She laboriously opened her eyes to see Qi Tian had come back. Even though at this moment, his face was still ugly that scared people but the light in Yuan Bao’s eyes suddenly brightened: “You came back to… Save me?”
Qi Tian did not respond but when the light in Yuan Bao’s eyes gradually faded away, his hand covered in green veins suddenly pinched her cheek.
The pinch scared Yuan Bao witless and she dazedly looked at him with her eyes wide.
After Qi Tian pinched for a while, he asked: “This face is so plump, how much meat does this face need to eat to become this way?” He had not spoken for a long time so his voice was coarse and unpleasant to hear like the sound of a knife cutting a porcelain plate. He thought this line aloud to himself and unconsciously closed his mouth.
Yuan Bao was dumbfounded but saw that he had asked seriously. Also, her own small life was held in his hand, so she answered honestly, “I was born with it, my teacher called this baby fat.”
“The feeling is… Not bad.”
Yuan Bao endured the humiliation and stiffened her smile: “You can pinch some more.”
Qi Tian guilelessly pinched some more, he pinched until her cheek was nearly swollen. He saw Yuan Bao’s teary eyes filled with grievances, he suddenly returned to himself and let go of her face. He took out the rope and went into position to place it on Yuan Bao’s body. Yuan Bao was emotionally moved to tears but in the next moment, when Qi Tian placed the rope around her neck, she became scared that her face had no color. Yuan Bao was confused and flustered, with one hand, she grabbed Qi Tian’s hand and with the other, she clutched the rope hanging on her neck and alarmingly asked: “What… What are you doing?”
Qi Tian thought for a moment: “Pull out.”
‘Pull out? Who? Loop the rope around her neck to pull her out?’
Yuan Bao smiled fearfully: “No, no, wait a minute. Hold on, brave warrior… Brave warrior!”
The thick, coarse rope tightened and firmly carved itself into Yuan Bao’s slender, white neck. Her pale complexion immediately swelled purplish-green and her ten fingers stiffened and curled up like claws. Her index finger would not give up and kept on pointing at Qi Tian. Both of her eyes violently protruded like eyes of a malicious spirit that was ferociously digging into Qi Tian’s body. Qi Tian took ahold of the other end of the rope and exerted his strength to pull. He tried his best to save Yuan Bao.
In fact, Yuan Bao was indeed saved by him but it consequently resulted in losing a greater half of her life.
He poked and poked at the plump face of the unconscious woman, and then Qi Tian picked Yuan Bao up and carried her step by step to his wooden house in the deep forest.
