Chapter 1: King Yan? The Tenth Generation Young Master?
"What! Who did you say you are?" A young man loudly asked the middle-aged man in front of him. He was very suspicious that he had misheard.
"I am Yan Wang," the man replied firmly to the young man's words, without joking.
"Yan Wang? I wasn't at home all night, then got tired and dozed off on the computer desk for a while. How did I see Yan Wang now? Won't it be just a dream? Ah, yes, it should be." The young man muttered to himself in his mind. At this moment, he still had his own thoughts, so he was self-hypnotized.
"You're not dreaming, it's really me. I am the King Yan that you mortals talk about." The man saw that the young man still didn't believe his identity and could only speak out again to prove himself.
"Really, how did you know what I was thinking?" The young man was shocked to hear the man's words. He wasn't saying anything out loud just now, he was just thinking in his heart! How did he know?
"Because I am Yan Wang, in your mortal terms, I am a deity," Yan Wang explained.
"Immortals? Are there really immortals in this world? You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
The young man clearly didn't believe that the person in front of him was the Yan Wang that everyone talked about. Because he didn't look like it at all, Yan Wang shouldn't be someone with a beer belly, a dark face, and a fierce appearance?
"Then tell me, what would it take for you to believe I'm Yan Wang?" Yan Wang shrugged and said to the young man.
"Alright, I see you don't have any ill intentions towards me, so I'll trust you for now. But where is this place? You said earlier that we weren't dreaming, so where am I right now?"
The young man looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar place, with no end in sight in all directions. All he saw was a vast expanse of darkness, which made him feel inexplicably chilly. He turned his head to ask Yan Wang.
"Chen Shao, you are now in the underworld," Yan Wang said calmly to Chen Shao in front of him.
"What, you say I'm now in the underworld, did I die? What's going on, wasn't I just at home playing computer all night? How could I have died?" Chen Shao was shocked by Yan Wang's words and thought back to what he had been doing before.
"Look? Yes, indeed I am looking. It's just that you died from exhaustion after staying up all night." Yan Wang saw Chen Shao's disbelief and immediately answered his question. However, the look in the young man's eyes carried a hint of disdain.
"But then why do I still have memories? Didn't the books all say that when people die, they drink Meng Po's soup and then cross Naihe Bridge, so they won't remember anything?" Chen Shao said doubtfully, his tone not showing any of the sadness he should be feeling now that he was dead.
"Ordinary people, indeed it is so, but you are different, because you are not an ordinary person, you are the sad tenth generation bachelor." Yan Wang's eyes showed a very pitiful and sorrowful gaze as he explained to Chen Shao.
"What does 'virgin for ten generations' mean?"
"That is to say, in the ten lives you've lived so far, you were all people who died unexpectedly without losing your virginity, which is why you now have the chance to talk with me for so long." Yama explained to the young man.
"No way, am I that unlucky? Having lived for ten lifetimes and still not losing my virginity; this can't be heaven playing a trick on me" The young man couldn't believe this fact, looking up at the sky with a long sigh.
"I didn't know either, I've been paying attention to you since your eighth death. It took me two lifetimes to figure out why you're still a virgin after eight lives. Now that it's your tenth life, I've brought you here." Yan Wang patiently explained to Chen Shao.
"Huh? You said you've been paying attention to me for two lifetimes and only now know why I'm a virgin at the age of ten, what's the reason?" The young man asked with half-belief and half-doubt.
"Because you're an introverted person, not good at socializing, with few friends, let alone female ones. Most importantly, you have a lewd heart but lack the courage of a wolf, this imbalance has led to your failure in breaking your virginity for ten lifetimes." Yan Wang said to Chen Shao in a tone that made men lose face. In fact, he didn't mention the most important point for Chen Shao's sake;
"What's the point of having a lewd heart but not the guts of a wolf? I'm very innocent, okay?" The young man shouted back at Yan Wang with great discontent.
"Are you pure? You're pure and yet you sneakily watch romance porn in your room at three or four in the morning?"
"You're so innocent, will you die from exhaustion due to frequent flying?" I was trying to give him some face, but this guy is just too clueless.
"That... isn't it because of physical needs? Any man would be fine!"
"Alright, no more nonsense. I've brought you here because of your ten lifetimes of virginity, and I won't let you reincarnate again. Now, I'll give you a chance to be reborn once more. Hopefully, this time you won't bring shame to men again!!" Yan Wang said impatiently to Chen Shao.
"Reborn? No way, I've lived for ten lifetimes and still a virgin, this can apply for the Guinness World Record. If I were to live again, who knows, maybe I won't be a ten-lifetime virgin, but an eternal (lifetime) virgin!" Chen Shao immediately refused Yan Wang.
In his view, living again would still be a life of mediocrity and trouble, rushing about for the sake of living; wouldn't it be better to die like this instead?
"Hmm, so there's still someone as weird as you in this world? You don't even want the chance to be reborn, and that's right, with a person like you, it's indeed embarrassing enough to be alive. However, if you were to be reborn, I can grant you three wishes, but whatever they are, I'll try my best to satisfy them."
"Really? Not kidding? Is this for real?"
Really
"Hmm... just now, I saw that you could say out what's on my mind. The first requirement is to have this ability, it can't be" Chen Shao carefully said his first requirement to Yan Wang.
"Mind-reading technique? Of course, I'll throw in a Heaven's Eye for you. This Heaven's Eye allows you to see through everything within a 10-meter radius around you. Beyond that, it won't work." Yan Wang said magnanimously to Chen Shao.
"This is so good, is there any request?" Chen Shao didn't believe that Yan Wang would be so kind, and he must have some ulterior motive.
"No, I said I'd grant you three wishes, it's just that I didn't think you'd ask for something so simple, so I'll throw in a little extra"
"Easy? Then I'll make it a bit harder, the second requirement is to have a ring that can store things." Chen Shao thought this should be difficult enough, after all, he didn't know if such a thing existed in this world, so he just said it casually.
It would be best if he could bring it out.
If he can't bring it out, I'll know his ability too, and that's a win-win situation, haha.
"This thing does exist, but it can't hold living things inside. Since you want it, I'll give it to you anyway, it's not worth anything to me." Yan Wang naturally knew what Chen Shao was thinking in his heart;
After all, I'm a god, even if it's just in charge of the dead, but still can't lose face in front of a mortal, especially not in front of this pitiful virgin who has been single for ten lifetimes.
"The third request is, the Cultivation Heart Method!" Chen Shao heard that Yan Wang Zhen had this thing, and thought to himself: Since he already had the ring, next he would ask him for a cultivation method like the one inside, which could make him fly in the air with just one practice. This shouldn't be too difficult, right?
The ideal is very full, so reality will definitely be bony.
"Xiu Zhen Xin Fa? You think you'll become an immortal when you're reborn? No way!" Yan Wang immediately disagreed, jokingly saying "You've been a virgin for ten lifetimes and you still want to cultivate immortality? Just thinking about it is laughable."
"Wait, didn't you say that no matter what it was, you could try to satisfy me? How come it's not possible now?" Chen Shao became anxious this time.
"No way, you're too greedy! What I promised to give you earlier is already considered very rare in the mortal world, basically nobody has it or doesn't exist, now you have it, that's really awesome!"
"But who would have thought that you still have such an unreasonable request, no way, either you change it or I'll take back what I promised before!" Yan Wang said sternly.
"Alright, alright, I'll settle for that. Just give me a technique to stay young and beautiful!!" Since you won't give me the True Cultivation Technique, then at least give me an Immortal Heart Method that will keep me youthful and ageless; I don't want to be reborn looking like this again!
"This is okay, I'll give you a secret, living forever and never dying is impossible, but staying young in the village is possible!"
"But that still depends on your own understanding, if you can understand it to that level, then eternal youth is not a problem; as for the remaining two layers, what effect they have, that's up to your own exploration; this technique is called 'Dragon Countenance Heart Method', and there are three layers in total." Yan Wang compromised Chen Shao's request with a helpless expression.
"Now I've met your three demands, get lost!"
"Get out, get out of here? This is your territory, how am I supposed to know where to go?"
The answer was a flash of lightning.
