Chapter 542: Chapter 540: The Unspeakably Terrifying Beggar Child

The beggar girl looked at the fallen Su Qing.

She reached out a hand covered in dark purple scars, wanting to help Su Qing.

But to her surprise, she couldn’t touch him.

"Huh?" The beggar girl was shocked and terrified.

She reached out to touch Su Qing again.

This time.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination.

The beggar girl actually managed to touch Su Qing’s body.

"Huh?" The beggar girl let out another surprised gasp.

Then, right in front of everyone, as if performing a magic trick, she began to drag Su Qing away.

But in the eyes of a normal person...

The beggar girl looked like she was miming, grabbing at empty air and acting out the motions of dragging something away as she left.

"It’s that beggar girl again. Dammit, I tried to kick her last time, and now my leg is still about to go lame."

"I got angry and tried to hit her with a stick, but my hand felt like it had been burned off."

"Hmph, I can tell you’re an outsider."

"That beggar girl is a Bodhisattva reincarnate. You can’t hit her, you can’t curse her, you can’t even touch her. You can’t even spit in her direction."

"She’s practically a monster."

"Something like that really exists?"

"Shouldn’t that alert the Immortals or the Holy Emperor?"

"What good would alerting them do? It’s useless. The beggar girl seems like an ordinary person. The Immortals wouldn’t give her a second look, and the Holy Emperor wouldn’t dare imprison her."

"Anyone who shows her disrespect will be punished. You... while you’re not dead yet, you should hurry over, kowtow, and apologize. She has the heart of a Bodhisattva. If you apologize, she’ll forgive you."

"Otherwise, you won’t even know what hit you when you die."

"Is it that serious? Just hearing you talk about it makes my whole body feel like it’s on fire. No, I can’t wait. I’m going right now."

...

...

In a dilapidated temple, the outsider offered the beggar girl clothes and food.

THUD! THUD! THUD! The man knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically to the beggar girl.

"Mercy, Bodhisattva! Mercy, Your Grace! This lowly one was ignorant of your divine power and has greatly offended you."

"Huh?" The beggar girl was puzzled and didn’t accept the things he offered.

She just watched the man’s actions quietly.

When the man noticed the sudden silence, he secretly raised his head for a look.

His eyes met the beggar girl’s deep, dark pupils and the jagged scars on her face.

Inside the small, dilapidated temple, there were many dark and gloomy corners.

The man was terrified.

"Mercy, Bodhisattva! Mercy, Your Grace!"

"This lowly one will take his leave now."

No matter how scared he was, the man kowtowed nine more times before leaving with utmost respect.

...

The moment the man stepped outside the temple, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.

"Hey, I really do feel better! My body feels much better, and that burning sensation is gone."

"She really is a Bodhisattva..."

The man looked at the large pile of offerings outside the temple and realized he wasn’t the only one who had this idea.

Everyone had been quietly contributing a little something for her.

’This is so bizarre. You city folks should have said something earlier! You didn’t say a thing, and I ended up suffering for it.’

The man cursed the people of the city in his heart.

They didn’t even mention a Bodhisattva with such Great Divine Techniques.

...

"Water..." The beggar girl held a cup of water, trying to give it to Su Qing.

Unfortunately, the water couldn’t touch Su Qing at all. Only the beggar girl could.

Most importantly, the White Cloak on Su Qing’s body actually started to move.

It attached itself to the beggar girl for a moment before returning to Su Qing.

"Huh?" The beggar girl looked at the White Cloak on Su Qing in surprise again.

The beggar girl tugged at the White Cloak on Su Qing’s body.

The White Cloak left Su Qing’s body again and settled onto the beggar girl.

The White Cloak had Spiritual Wisdom. It would respond to kindness with kindness.

But it had to be Pure Goodness.

Countless strands of Great Dao Immortal Qi appeared and enveloped Su Qing, helping him recover from his injuries.

「Several days later.」

Whenever the beggar girl got hungry, she would take a little of the food from outside the temple and eat.

Then she would look at Su Qing’s face.

The Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi emerged from Su Qing’s body, almost instantly turning him into a ball of light.

However, this all took place within the Void Realm.

Only the beggar girl could see it.

The Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi was helping Su Qing recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unfortunately, given his current condition, Su Qing couldn’t fully utilize this Talent.

Su Qing’s injuries healed quickly, but the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi would then weaken again.

He could only use it for a short while.

He just needed one more session to fully recover.

The Star Sea Tree had originally intended to kill Su Qing, but he had unexpectedly blocked its attack.

The Immortal Realm within his body was like a Great Thousand World, but Su Qing was not yet at the Grand Thousand level. At best, he could be called a Half-step Grand Thousand Realm.

But a Half-step Grand Thousand was still not a true Grand Thousand Realm, and it couldn’t possibly contend with one.

「Several more days passed.」

The Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi in Su Qing’s body emerged once more.

This healing session lasted for a quarter of an hour.

And then, Su Qing slowly opened his eyes.

He then sat up.

"Huh?"

A little girl’s surprised gasp made Su Qing turn his head.

He saw a little girl covered from head to toe in dark purple scars looking at him.

Su Qing’s pupils widened in response!

[???: (Pure Goodness???) Host’s strength is insufficient. Exploration is not supported.]

...

A storm raged in Su Qing’s heart.

’This beggar girl actually possesses the power of Standardization. Her very body is a manifestation of Standardization.’

Su Qing was stunned.

Suddenly, Su Qing was surprised again. He was in the Void Realm, yet the little girl was looking right at him.

"You can see me?"

"Huh?" The beggar girl let out a childlike sound, tilting her head as she looked at Su Qing.

’No need to wonder.’ Su Qing reached out a hand to touch her, intending to find out if she could see him.

’This little girl is too strange.’

The moment Su Qing touched her, he felt an indescribably scorching sensation.

Startled, Su Qing immediately pulled his hand back.

’How is this possible!’

’This little girl has something on her that even I perceive as dangerous.’

’Isn’t this the Star Sea Tree’s timeline?’

’How could such a heaven-defying little girl appear here?’

Su Qing frowned.

He could touch the little girl from the Void Realm, which meant she could also touch him.

Su Qing looked up at the roof; it wasn’t caved in or broken from a fall.

This meant the little girl before him was the one who had brought him here.

’But I was in the Void Realm, which is perfectly safe... ’

"What’s your name?" Su Qing asked, crouching down with a warm smile.

"Huh!" The little girl’s eyes met Su Qing’s.

Su Qing paused.

’Wait, I’m not from this world. The local dialect isn’t what I’m speaking.’

’Am I just talking to a wall?’

’Looks like I’ll have to learn how to communicate here.’

Su Qing had originally planned to find the Star Sea Tree’s location, but after seeing this little girl...

Su Qing felt that this little girl was even more terrifying than the Star Sea Tree.

’If she’s the reincarnation of a Great Power, it wouldn’t be too much for me to study her a bit, right?’

’And getting to know her wouldn’t be too much, right?’

’Not at all.’

That’s what Su Qing thought, anyway.

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then stood up and patted the little girl’s head.

’Mm... Feels nice.’

The scorching sensation was gone. What was going on?

Su Qing gave the little girl a puzzled look.

He didn’t dwell on it.

He left the Void Realm.

Su Qing’s clothes were in tatters, making him look no different from a beggar.

Only the White Cloak was completely unscathed.

’Dammit, my Immortal Robe is ruined. When I have time, I’ll synthesize a Tier Thirteen Immortal Robe.’

As for why not a Tier Fourteen Immortal Robe...

...it was because Su Qing felt he wouldn’t be able to use it.

’Good thing I was smart enough not to synthesize any Tier Fourteen items before.’

If he couldn’t use it, he couldn’t use it. Simple as that.

...
