Chapter 510 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 37

The death of Wang Ziteng seemed to be a signal for the emperor to begin the reckoning, but many people did not understand this signal and continued to live a life of luxury.

Even though Jia Baoyu of Rongguo Mansion has become much more dull due to the loss of the spiritual jade, he is still entangled with Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. Even though Lin Daiyu is no longer burdened by the illness in this life, she still cannot change her sensitive and noble temperament. Many things and many people seem to have changed, but under the influence of fate, they can never deviate and can only step into death according to the direction of fate.

The first person to die was Jia Yingchun, the concubine of the first wife of the Rongguo Mansion and the second daughter of the Jia family. Without the intervention of the soul-calling bird, Jia Yingchun was eventually pawned off to Sun Shaozu by her biological father Jia She for five thousand taels of silver.

The second one to die was You Sanjie. Although she had a hot-tempered personality, she was just pretending. Deep down, she still longed to marry a man with a clean record. Although she no longer had Liu Xianglian in her life, she still had Jia Lian who liked to tease her. After Jia Lian sweet-talked and promised to take her and her sister You Erjie into the mansion, You Sanjie compromised.

However, after she compromised, what she waited for was not the pink sedan sent by the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Lian who came less and less frequently. After a long time, You Sanjie realized that she had been deceived, so she stopped waiting.

Wang Xi once thought about entering the illusory world with Jia Yingchun and the others when they reached the end of their fate. However, looking at the children he had rescued from the human traffickers, Wang Xi really couldn't bear to leave them alone.

"Oh, forget it. I won't go to the Land of Illusion anymore."

Originally according to the plan, Wang Xi only wanted to rescue those poor women who were abducted by human traffickers and sold to brothels and secret prostitutes. However, during his investigation in Gusu, Wang Xi found that the situation in Gusu was far more serious than that in the suburbs of Beijing.

The Jiangnan region has always been a region where the Qinhuai and Chulou customs are prevalent. Because it is prosperous, the romance industry is very developed. It is also the region that first invented the "Jiangnan skinny horse".

Therefore, human traffickers do not prioritize trafficking adult women, but very young girls. Only by brainwashing them when they are still young can they be assimilated and eventually become playthings.

So when Wang Xi found the human traffickers' hideout, all he saw were half-naked, skinny little girls. Some of them were just born and still breastfeeding, some had just learned to walk, and the older ones were no more than ten years old.

Most of them were sold by their parents and relatives. There was no point in sending them back even if they were rescued. Wang Xi did not expect that the first batch of residents of the second shelter would be a group of little girls who had not yet grown up and could not live without him.

Wang Xi had no choice but to spend money to hire a few elderly single women to take care of them. However, the women could only take care of their lives but could not teach them to study. Awakening had to be done by Wang Xi himself.

In the end, between the children and the illusory world, Wang Xi chose the children by heart.

The Land of Illusion was my chance, but now I am the chance for these girls. I once had the opportunity to practice because of the chance, and I hope that these girls can have a different life after meeting me.

After figuring it out, Wang Xi's mind was shaken. With a "pop" sound, the barrier in his body broke and a sharp pain surged from his heart.

Wang Xi endured the pain in her body, gritted her teeth, concentrated her attention, and looked inward at her body. She found that the Heart of Merit, which was originally composed of the power of merit, seemed to have separated from the essence of merit and turned from a heart-shaped collection of merit power into a real heart with life.

"This is......"

"A living heart?"

With every severe pain in the body, Gongde's heart would beat violently. With each beat, the golden color of the heart would show a little more red. Beat by beat, the heart beat faster and faster, and the body hurt more and more, until with the last severe pain, the heart suddenly stopped beating.

Wang Xi's face was pale and he was sweating all over. He felt that after his heart stopped beating, his mind entered a very long space and everything around him became unreal.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Wang Xi suddenly felt a warm current rushing into his heart, and began to flow along the twelve meridians that he had completed through cultivation.

As the heat flowed, all the internal organs in Wang Xi's body that were constructed by the power of merit began to change color. The dazzling gold faded, and after several cycles, it returned to the most original red color of the human body.

"I, I grew up?!"

Wang Xi no longer felt the pain. She looked curiously at the heart and other organs in her soul that were flowing with golden red liquid, and found it very magical.

I originally thought that I would eventually become a golden man made entirely of the power of merit through practice, but I didn't expect that I would actually grow a physical body.

"Yes, if it is all the power of merit, then in the end it is just a ball of merit with a shape."

"Others have a body first and then a soul, but I have a soul first and then I have a body through merit!"

Wang Xi was amazed that his ignorant practice turned out to be correct.

From the past to the present, Wang Xi has always been living in the world by using other people's identities out of survival instinct. Even though the soul has its own thoughts, it does not have a matching body, and in terms of existence, it is an invisible thing.

Even if one embarks on the path of merit and cultivates a heart of merit, the five internal organs of merit still cannot escape the essence of invisible things. Only when real flesh and blood are born from merit can one truly complete one's existence.

"The original clone is, after all, just an illusion of the clone of cultivation. It does not have flesh and blood in essence."

The process of growing flesh and blood is very painful, but Wang Xi is glad that he got through it. Now he just waits for himself to slowly grow bones and skin under the nourishment of the power of merit and become a living being with flesh and blood.

From now on I will no longer have to rely on other people’s physical bodies to exist, I have my own body.

Wang Xi was very excited. She had a name and thoughts, but she could only wander outside the world. From now on, she would become a brand new existence, the only soul-calling bird with a physical body.

No, maybe she is no longer a soul-calling bird. She is Song Ruyi, now a human, and in the future a fairy and a god. The reason why she was able to give birth to a "human heart" this time is because Song Ruyi has a "human nature" for the first time. It is not for merit or pleasure, but purely for those people. She gave birth to a human heart that belongs to Song Ruyi alone.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this world for much longer."

Song Ruyi, who has become a 'human', is no longer an invisible existence. Once discovered by the laws of this world, he will be expelled. Now he can only use the dream-fulfilling system to leave in advance before the laws of this world find out something is wrong.
