Chapter 303.3: Lian Shi’s Origins (1)

Although the world he lived in was very ordinary, he still believed that the incredible things told in legends truly existed.

He was already perceived to be an inauspicious baby at birth.

His mother carried him for ten whole months throughout her pregnancy and after painstakingly giving birth to him, a bunch of burglars immediately broke into their home to rob them. His father had merely tried to say a few words to explain their situation when he was suddenly killed on the spot.

His mother was inextricably weak after giving birth to him, finding it hard to even get out of bed. But it was probably because of a kind of innate strength a mother would come to find in themselves for the sake of their child no matter how weak and tiny they were, they would then turn strong.

His mother placed him in a wooden bucket, leaving two small gaps open as she put the cover on, and hid him within a large water urn.

It was not known how long a time passed as he remained within that seemingly endless darkness, before he finally came to see light again. A wise looking old man had saved him, and the first words he said to the baby were: “Such a handsome looking child but made to face such a hard life, not even able to even see your parents a single time and they’re already no longer around.”

It was only later that he found out that his parents had died the day he was born, and he had stayed in that water urn for the entire period of seven days and seven nights.

He did not know who he managed to live through that. A freshly newborn, such a frail and fragile little life who did not eat or drink anything while hidden within a small confined space, it was impossible that he was still able to remain alive.

Some people might find it unbelievable, but he already possessed a sense of awareness when he was born, and could remember everything that happened.

He grew up safely under the old man’s care and in the year that he turned twelve, the old man passed on due to sickness and he became all alone again.

He really hated that kind of a feeling. Having people he was close to leave his side one by one, but was powerless to do anything about it. He grew indignant.

After that, through a letter the old man left him, he found out that his worldly view was really too small and narrow. The world, was not merely what his eyes had seen. There were still many amazing things waiting for him to go explore and discover.

He began to search for the secrets towards achieving immortality. If another person that was highly important to him were to appear in his life once more, he would definitely not allow himself to just watch them leave him again, not wanting to feel that weak and utterly helpless anymore.

He did not know how many places he has been to, or the number of different scenery his eyes have seen. He slowly came to grow stronger than before, but had not managed to find someone that could make him feel no longer alone.

It was on a day that he can’t remember, when a person suddenly came into his world. That girl was as dazzling and pristine as fresh icy snow. He had never met anyone like that, who was like an angel who had accidentally stumbled into the mortal realm.
