BXBX NOVEL Chapter 451: Bad Luck Charm
Her father married her off thrice—once to a Legend Rank expert, once to the son of a god, and once to a genuine god.
But none of these three could last until the day of their marriage. From the time they became engaged to Elise, they were destined to die a violent death.
This phenomenon attracted many people’s attention, and some thought that it was because she possessed something related to "misfortune”, but the Three Misery Sisters denied it.
Many people didn’t believe that at first, but when Elise\'s third fiancé—that is, the god—also died inexplicably, no one suspected the Three Misery Sisters anymore.
To be able to directly curse a god to death—even if the Goddess of Misfortune herself acted, it would still be impossible to do so without leaving a trace.
So in a sense, Gu Nan actually saved that Daoist Heir Qin Ning’s life, although the latter might not appreciate it.
"How many fiancés have you had?" Gu Nan asked this first after bringing Elise to a place without other people.
The storyline on Elise was likewise not fixed in time, and how far her storyline had progressed determined how much was still left for Gu Nan to take advantage of.
"T-three," Elise answered with some stuttering.
When she heard Gu Nan ask this, she also knew that this person was aware of her reputation, and she immediately felt a sense of shame at having her history revealed.
Gu Nan nodded with slight disappointment. Elise had already cursed that god to death, which meant that she didn’t have much value left… Oh, there was still one last point left.
The content about her life was something that could lure out a Tier 8 god, which was better than nothing.
But the fact that Elise appeared in this place still made him a little curious. "Your father… I recall he’s called Donald, right? Why did he go to the Myriad Heavens?"
"My father is Fox, Alexander Fox…" Elise gave an angry huff as she glared at Gu Nan, then deflated. "He thinks that no one on that side is willing to marry me anymore and wants me to try this side."
Elise’s father, Don…. no, Fox, the old man whose name Gu Nan couldn’t even remember, was also a pitiful fellow.
His wife died at an early age, so he doted on his daughter immensely, wholeheartedly trying to find her a good husband. But as a result, he raised the number one bad luck charm in the World of Gods.
With this kind of embarrassing situation, her father probably wouldn\'t feel too good either.
"So, do you need my help?" Gu Nan looked at the young girl with a faint smile. "If nothing goes wrong, it won\'t be long before you can marry normally."
"Really?!" Elise looked at Gu Nan in surprise. With her not-so-rich worldly experience, she had yet to learn to be skeptical of strangers.
Gu Nan nodded with a smile. True, he wasn’t lying. It’s just that by that time, she herself might not be so willing to marry anymore.
……
"Daoist Heir." The Sixth Guardian stood stiffly in front of Qin Ning, the expression on his face still a little ugly. "Old Nine, he—"
"I know about this matter." Qin Ning waved his hand to interrupt the Sixth Guardian\'s words and sighed.
Daoist Heir Qin Ning appeared to be a teenager with fair skin and a youthful appearance, only with a touch of indifference in his demeanor, making it impossible for anyone to believe that he was just a teenager.
The Old Nine the Sixth Guardian mentioned was precisely the youth who previously died at Gu Nan’s hands. They, the Nine Guardians, hadn\'t been bullied like this since they started working under Daoist Heir Qin Ning!
It’s just that from Qin Ning\'s attitude, he clearly didn’t intend to pursue this matter any further.
The Sixth Guardian felt a slight chill in his heart but didn’t dare say anything else. Instead, one of the people next to them asked, "Daoist Heir, should we notify the Sect Leader?"
This person was also one of the Nine Guardians. Although Old Nine was hot-tempered, he was well-liked in general, and now that he had been killed for no reason like this, of course his companions would be filled with righteous indignation.
Daoist Heir Qin Ning, however, glanced at the man coldly. "What? You want to ask the Sect Leader to avenge Old Nine?"
The Daoist Heir’s attitude caused the man who opened his mouth to pause slightly, but he still managed to force himself to say, "That person looked down on our Void Grotto Heaven so much—"
"Do you know who that is?" Daoist Heir Qin Ning’s words caused the people around him to quiet down at the same time. Vice Captain Lu Tao had only exchanged words with Qin Ning after he came here.
Daoist Heir Qin Ning scanned the circle. When he saw everyone’s faces say Just say the name. We’re not scared no matter who it is, he couldn\'t help but secretly shake his head.
These people had been following him for so long that they even forgot to exercise the most basic caution. They really thought they’d be able to run amok in the Myriad Heavens just because they were from one of the Thirteen Heavens.
Qin Ning pointed at the Sixth Guardian and asked, "What is the purpose of my trip to the World of Gods this time? Old Six, do you remember?"
The Sixth Guardian instantly answered, "To visit Star Ruler Lingyang and join the Heaven-God Alliance."
"That\'s right." Qin Ning said, "The Sect Leader forbid us from meddling in matters related to the Heaven-God Alliance, but there are nearly a hundred Daoist Heirs in this world, so how was I able to stand out? It\'s all because I dared to gamble."
After saying that, Qin Ning gave the Sixth Guardian another cold look. "If all goes well, that person might be one of my examiners. Do you understand?"
……
The little episode on the cruise ship didn’t cause Gu Nan any trouble, and no one dared to question him.
The captain even personally ran up to Gu Nan afterward, apologizing for allowing such scoundrels to come to the top floor and disturb the honored guest.
Gu Nan had little interest in this kind of shallow statement and waved his hand in dismissal.
With Gu Nan\'s current status and strength, no one would doubt his ultimate accomplishment. Other than people whose levels were too far apart, how could anyone else be unenlightened enough to court death by offending him?
After all, even if Zi Luo Elder fell and Gu Nan ran to join another one of the Thirteen Heavens, the latter would definitely accept him with joy—even Song Fei was the same.
The next night, the cruise ship arrived at the World of Gods.
Gu Nan naturally took Elise to the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, first checking on the progress of the two remaining player army members and triggering Elise’s quest in passing.
Gu Nan already had a rough idea of which gods he wanted to hunt, but no matter who he was going to kill, the one that was delivered straight to his door should always be dealt with first.
"Mr. Gu Nan, will my father come here as well?"
"Of course. I\'ve already sent someone to notify him," Gu Nan casually answered Elise, and as his feet stepped inside the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, he saw a familiar figure.
Daoist Lingyang—actually, he probably couldn’t be called a Daoist now. He had changed into clothes native to the World of Gods and had the appearance of a countryside nouveau riche.
Not only was he dressed up, but even his appearance looked much younger than before. He seemed like a regular person in his early thirties at best, and by virtue of his temperament, his class was forcibly pulled up.
"What do you think of this appearance of mine?" This outsider from the Myriad Heavens even earnestly asked Gu Nan for advice.
"Pretty good." Gu Nan nodded seriously. "It only lags behind mainstream fashion by 300 years at most."
