One Shot. Couple

Capítulo 1 - 

The city's night lights illuminated the beautiful couple walking hand in hand along the sidewalk. The moonlight praises the lovely romance between the two.

p>"Have you read the last chapter of the book I recommended you?" The beautiful girl asked with an expectant smile to the boy next to her.

"Yes, I found it very amusing. Mainly the part where the protagonist discovers the truth about the world. It was mind-blowing." The young lad responded enthusiastically to the glass beside him.

They continued talking like this until they reached a traffic light and waited for the green light to continue their walk.

While they were standing there talking and laughing, they didn't notice the runaway truck approaching them.

"Careful!"

"Kyaa!"

Skrr!

Pedestrians on the side shouted as they ran. As soon as the couple heard the screams, they noticed the truck approaching them, but it was too late to divert.

Brake!

Bam!

The truck crushed the two without even having the opportunity to react. The young Man even tried to save the girl on his side - using her body to cushion the impact the girl would receive, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough, and the two were crushed by the truck.

...

The two opened their eyes simultaneously to see vast, endless darkness. Sitting in front of them was a being of pure energy and power, watching them with curiosity.

"Welcome to the space of emptiness! I am the ruler of this dimension. You can call me 'Voir'!" The being spoke as he held his hands up and introduced himself.

"What are we doing here? Why were we brought to this place?" the couple asked simultaneously.

"You were brought to this place because you were killed in your original worlds, and I selected you to receive three wishes from me," Voir spoke with great power and arrogance in his voice.

"Wow! Did you hear what he said, honey?! It's like we've always dreamed of; reincarnating into a world of your choosing with desires." The woman squealed in delight as she used the shoulder of the Man next to her for support.

"I know, it seems like a dream!" The Man spoke as he held the hands of the woman beside him.

"Cough! Cough! First of all, I have to explain some things to you." Voir said while pretending to cough to get the excited couple's attention.

"First, you cannot choose the world you go to. It has already been decided that you will go to Gu World!

Second, your three wishes will be divided into three parts;

You will choose three attainments to reach the 'Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster level.

You will be able to choose a Gu Immortal regardless of level.

You can choose where and how you wish to reincarnate.

Third, enjoy your new life a lot!"

As soon as Voir finished speaking, the couple's mouths dropped open; surprised by these limitations, they began to complain.

"Damn it! I wanted us to go to the One Piece World. But now I am obliged to go to that wild world, the Gu World." The Man was sorry.

"It's not so bad. At least we can have a good starting point!" The woman sighed as she comforted the Man beside her.

"you are right. This is better than nothing." The Man composed himself and looked at the woman beside him with a fond face.

"Mr Voir, could you wait a while? My husband and I decide what to order?" the woman asked Voir apprehensively.

"All good. I have all the time in the world." Voir replied as he waved his hand calmly.

The couple nodded and began planning what to order. They argued for hours until they turned to Voir and decided their wishes.

"We have already decided our wishes:

For the first wish, I want to attainments in the paths; Heaven, Human, Luck." The Man answered with conviction.

"I choose the paths; Dream, Food, Refinement." The woman declared her wishes as well.

"For the second wish, I want Rank 10 Gu Immortal; Fortune Rivaling the Heavens." The Man declared his second wish.

"I want Rank 10 Gu Immortal; Sovereign Fetus." The woman stated with a satisfied smile.

"And for the third wish, I want to be reincarnated as Feng Jin Huang." The woman finished stating her wishes and waited for the Man to finish his.

"And I want to reincarnate inside the Spring Autumn Cicada when Fang Yuan is returning to the past and devouring it." The Man declared with a face of pure emotion.

"Your wishes are incredible! I loved them all. The first wish will come true, so don't worry." Voir spoke with pure happiness.

"The second wish will be fulfilled, but with some conditions; they will be Rank 9 instead of Rank 10, and the 'Sovereign Fetus' can only be obtained when this kid here gets the shadow sect's 'Sovereign Fetus'," Voir said as he pointed at the Man.

"And now, regarding the last wish…

Haha, don't worry, they can be performed too." Voir said while laughing at his dramatic pause.

"Good! Now that you have made your wishes, I will send them to Gu World." Voir said as he clapped his hands.

"Wait! What about 'Luck Rivaling the Heavens'?" The Man asked Voir.

"Your Gu will be implemented the moment you reincarnated. So do not worry!" Voir replied as he waved his hands and sent the couple off to the Gu world.

"I love you!" Those were the last words the two heard from each other at that moment.

...

Central Continent - Spirit Affinity House - Bai Qing Blessed Land

The spring winds were blowing as the trees swayed in the winds. The animals take their time to relax. The red sun on the horizon symbolizes the end of another day.

A bamboo house lay on top of a small hill; this bamboo house had an exquisite and magical touch with a koi pond on the side of the house, adding to the beauty of the place.

Feng Jiu Ge rushed into the delivery room, only to see his wife tired and holding a newborn baby.

Wah! Wah! Booh! Booh!

The baby cried until it was delivered to its mother's lap.

"Look, dear! The little one already recognizes her mother." Fairy Bai Qing spoke to her husband fondly.

"She looks like you, dear. I'm sure she'll be as beautiful as you when she grows up." Feng Jiu Ge spoke affectionately to his wife.

"What do you plan to name her?" Fairy Bai Qing raised her head to ask her husband.

"Jin Huang, Feng Jin Huang, that will be her name." Feng Jiu Ge spoke as he kissed his daughter's forehead.

...

A Huge Wide River Flowing Incessantly - The water in the river is pale white, but as countless ripples collide, it creates beautiful colours with dazzling lights at all times. This is the famous River of Time, one of the isolated dominoes of Heaven and Earth.

A Little Cicada was flying up the river with all its might - it was almost at its limit and would come down at any moment. But before she could get down, a small light radiated into her.

As this stream of light entered, it began to consume the two wills that previously resided within the Cicada; with the sudden activity, the little Cicada seemed to have gained significant momentum and flew a little further upstream before tiring out again and encountering a point the river and go down to it.

...

Spring rain fell silently on Qing Mao Mountain.

It was late at night; a light breeze blew with light rain.

However, Qing Mao Mountain was not covered in darkness; dozens of tiny lights shone like a bright band from the side to the bottom of the mountain.

These lights shone from tall buildings; although it couldn't be said to correspond to ten thousand lights, it was still a few thousand.

Nestled in the mountain was the village of Gu Yue, giving the vast, lonely mountain a rich touch of human civilization.

A pair of deep black eyes opened and stared at the heavy spring rain falling non-stop.

"It worked out! My plan worked; I managed to devour Fang Yuan's and Heaven's Will inside the Cicada." Fang Yuan thought to his heart as he managed a smile of pure ecstasy.

"Hahaha. I reincarnated in the Gu World." Fang Yuan held out his hand, his vision fixed on his pale, young and tender palms, then slowly squeezed them, embracing the truth of this reality with all his might.

Looking at the small room, Fang Yuan quickly looked for a mirror to see if what was happening was real. He soon found a mirror on the headboard next to a small calendar.

When Fang Yuan was going to pick up the mirror to look at himself, he stopped halfway because he saw the date on the calendar and got scared.

"According to the original Fang Yuan's memoirs, it's still a year away from my 15th birthday. Meaning, I travelled a year longer than the original Fang Yuan." Fang Yuan was shocked; he was now a year ahead of the story.

"No, wait, that's good; it gives me more time to plan and prepare for what's to come." Fang Yuan was quick to reason and soon saw the bright side of it.

"With Rank 9 'Gu Immortal Fortune Rivaling the Heavens' and my Quasi-Grand Supreme Master achievements in Heaven, Human and Luck. I have enough confidence to raise my talent to Grade A." Fang Yuan pondered his options for a while.

"Show me how a Grade A Talent can be beneficial and restrictive." Pondering whether he really should show himself a Grade A talent, Fang Yuan spent hours trying to devise a workable plan where he would have enough resources for cultivation and, at the same time, freedom.

"The best course to take is to demonstrate that I have Grade A talent and quietly acquire the Wine Monk's inheritance from the flowers. According to my knowledge of the novel and Fang Yuan's memoirs, I know more or less where the inheritance should be." Fang Yuan was already starting to formulate his plan.

"The next step will be to reconnect with Fang Zheng and try to turn him against the uncles. And right after he is revealed as a Grade A talent, I will direct everyone's attention to him.

That way, I can safely acquire the Wine Monk's inheritance from the flowers." Fang Yuan was already finishing preparing his plan.

"And from now on, I will demonstrate my special taste for Vinho de Bamboo Verde so that when I acquire the worm of the liquor, I will not attract attention." Fang Yuan thought coldly.

Fang Yuan closed his eyes and tried to look for the Spring Autumn Cicada in his body to confirm one last thing. Searching for a short time, Fang Yuan soon found her extremely weak inside her body, almost on the verge of death.

Confirming the presence of the Spring Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan decides to start looking for the liquor worm later this year and then suppress it with the Cicada until it awakens its opening.

With the attainment of Supreme Quasi-Grand Master on the path of Heaven, Fang Yuan has devoured and controlled the will of Heaven that inhabits the Spring Autumn Cicada; now, the will within it is under his complete control. With that, he can choose what he wants Heaven's will to know happened in the 500 years of the future.

"I need to hurry up and get the materials to increase my talent as soon as possible." Fang Yuan moved to the side of the window as he thought about his plans.

At that moment, the door to her room was slightly opened, and a young teenager entered.

"Big brother, why are you standing in the rain by the window?"

The young Man was slim, slightly shorter than Fang Yuan. His face closely resembled Fang Yuan's features. When Fang Yuan turned his head to look at this young Man, a detailed look flickered across his face.

"It's you, huh, Fang Zheng. Come in and have a seat." He raised his eyebrows, his expression returning to one of warmth and calm. This new expression from his brother took aback Fang Zheng.

"I saw that Big Brother's window wasn't closed, so I thought I'd come in and close it. It's so late, and you still haven't gone to bed, big brother. If uncle and aunt knew, they would probably be worried." Fang Zheng entered the room slowly and hesitantly sat on a nearby chair.

Fang Zheng was taken aback by this new expression from Fang Yuan. His older brother has been cold and indifferent since he was a little boy. Sometimes he wondered, maybe a genius is like that, being quite different from ordinary people. Even though he looked the same as his older brother, he felt ordinary, like an ant.

"Lift your head, Fang Zheng, and have more self-confidence." Fang Yuan encouraged Fang Zheng with a warm smile.

Fang Zheng was stunned as he listened to his brother's words; he looked up only to see his brother's loving and warm gaze.

"Do you remember that since our parents died and our uncles adopted us, I withdrew from you and became extremely cold towards everyone who tried to get close to me?" Hearing what Fang Yuan was saying, Fang Zheng slowly nodded his head.

"Everything I did was to protect you, my dear little brother. Our uncles always beat and mistreated us, so I was forced to recite poems to demonstrate my talent. But now that only one year is left until we wake up to our aperture. I don't need to be cold with your little brother anymore." Fang Yuan said as he walked over to hug Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng was shocked and didn't know what to feel; suddenly, his world turned upside down. He discovered that the brother, who had always been cold and indifferent to him, was doing it to protect him, and out of nowhere, his brother started showing his affection for him again.

"When we awaken our aperture, we can get out of Uncle and Aunt's clutches; if I awaken a Rank A talent, I will lead us away from these monsters, and we will finally have a dignified life." Fang Yuan spoke as he ran his hand over his little brother's head.

"Older brother!" Fang Zheng hugged Fang Yuan as he sobbed in tears. As Fang Yuan slowly comforted him.

"Don't worry, little brother, we can finally escape this nightmare. And then when we get our parents' inheritance back, you can finally be with that young Shen Cui you're in love with." Fang Yuan spoke to Fang Zheng while smiling at him.

"How did you find out?" Fang Zheng blushed in embarrassment and lowered his head as he whispered.

"You are very obvious with your desires, little brother; I always knew your feelings for Shen Cui. And I can confirm that she also has romantic feelings for you, little brother." Fang Zheng was surprised how Fang Yuan could read him so easily.

...

A year has passed since Fang Yuan was reincarnated; during that time, he found the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance, caught the Liquor Worm, and recently caught the White Boar Gu. And with the help of the merchant caravan, he managed to gather all the materials for his kill move that would increase his talent.

All year round, he proved to be very fond of green bamboo wine and wild boar meat, and when he got Liquor Worm and Gu White Boar, it was easy to feed them without arousing suspicion. And all the money to buy the boar meat and the wine came from his uncles.

And during that time, Fang Yuan successfully approached Fang Zheng and redirected all his hatred towards his uncles. Now Fang Zheng has more confidence and motivation to raise his head against his attackers.

Fang Yuan finished getting ready and opened the bedroom window to see the village and breathe in the spring air.

Looking around, the tall houses made of green bamboo and wood contrasted with the mountain; it was a sea of ​​pale green colour.

Tall houses were at least two stories tall; it was the unique structure of a mountain people's home. Due to the mountain's uneven terrain, the first floor is made of substantial wooden stilts; the second floor is where people reside.

"Elder Brother, you are awake. I'll wait for you to wash up." Fang Zheng arrived in the room to call Fang Yuan and saw that he was already ready.

"Today is the day our lives will change, my little brother!" Fang Yuan approached Fang Zheng and touched his shoulder as he urged him on.

"You are right, big brother!" Fang Zheng nodded confidently and puffed out his chest with pride.

Then the two brothers left the house. On the way, they bump into many young people of the same age, all in groups of two and three, heading towards the same destination.

"Look, guys, these are the Fang brothers." His ears could pick up the cautious little conversation. "The one who walks in front is Fang Yuan; he is the Fang Yuan who created the poems", some of them emphasized.

"So is he. His face is expressionless, as if he has no regard for others, just as the rumours say." Someone said in a sour tone full of jealousy and envy.

"Hmph, if you were like him, you might as well act like that!" Someone responded coldly against the person, hiding a kind of dissatisfaction.

Fang Zheng listened without expression. He had long been used to this kind of discussion. Only this time, he didn't let it get to him; he followed silently with his head held high behind his older brother.
