Chapter Eighty-six: Ordinary Happiness

  Does everyone have a recommendation ticket? Can you vote for me?

  =============

  It was unclear how much time had passed when Wu Yuan woke up from his coma. He found himself lying on the sofa, covered with a quilt, and Wu Zetian looking at him with concern. Looking at her watch, three hours had passed.

  "Brother... don't you have anything to do?"

  He smelled ginseng and chicken soup in his nose, and Wu Yuan saw a bowl of ginseng chicken soup being simmered on the tea table.

  Nothing's wrong, everything is fine, just a bit tired.

  Wu Zetian nodded and took out the chicken soup, handing it over to Wu Yuan.

  "Brother, your complexion looks terrible. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. These symptoms are signs of severe internal injury."

  "Seriously hurt?"

  Wu Yuan picked up the mirror and was startled. The handsome young man he used to be was gone, replaced by a sickly ghost with panda eyes.

  It seems that the Six-Word Great Bright Mantra is still too strenuous for myself, but then I looked up at Wu Zetian.

  Very good, extremely good, can't see the faint black air around her, and won't feel that she is annoying.

  According to the ancient book, those who have loaded the Six-Word Great Bright Mantra will suppress all curses, harm and negative magic. My own idea was not wrong, this is right, this is what a good younger sister should be like.

  "Do you still remember the feeling of me stroking your head every night?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Wu Zetian nodded, and that warm feeling made her feel very comfortable.

  "These days, I have been practicing the Buddhist six-word mantra, and I think it can help you. Today, I happened to successfully cultivate it, so I can release this Dharma spell on people."

  "Then Tian, the Six-Word Great Bright Mantra, is a first-rate Buddhist mantra that can eliminate all curses and evil. The kind of aura on you that provokes hatred is a kind of curse, which your brother just sealed off."

  "Really?"

  Wu Zetian took a long breath and asked in an incredulous tone.

  "It's really true, can't be any truer. Otherwise, do you think brother has been at home every day, busy running around, not showing his face, doing what? And always likes to touch little sister's head, actually it's because brother wants to help my lovely little sister."

  Wu Yuanyong patted the little guy's head with his hand and said, "Brother has been cultivating for so long, today finally had an effect. Wait a while longer, I will recite the Six-Character Great Brightness Mantra for you every day, this mantra can neutralize the things on your body. From now on, no one will bully you. Each time it can last about twelve hours, enough for you to go out."

  "But..."

  Wu Zetian still had some doubts, this happiness came too easily, even she hadn't thought of it.

  These days, Wu Yuan often disappeared from sight. She thought that Wu Yuan didn't like her or was busy with his own affairs. Who would have thought that Wu Yuan was actually cultivating for her sake?

  "Brother won't deceive you. Let's go out for a walk and you'll know if you've changed or not."

  "Brother, how's your body?"

  "Nothing's wrong, you see, my legs have stopped shaking, hurry up and change your clothes!"

  =============

  An hour later, Wu Yuan silently stared at the girl in front of him.

  Flat glasses, wide clothes, messy hair, a whole abused little cat.

  "Are you very scared?"

  The girl's legs were trembling like his, fortunately it was already dark outside now, if it were daytime, she might have been scared to faint.

  "Then heaven, believe me, believe brother, okay? I have sworn an oath to protect you."

  =============

  Wrapping her body in black, bloated clothes, wearing a pair of plain glasses, making up her face to be dark yellow, and adding two moles, this was Wu Zetian's getup when she went out.

  Only in this way can she feel a little more at ease.

  She was already thirteen years old and knew that a girl's beauty would often be insulted, she also knew that with her physique, she absolutely could not show her true face to outsiders.

  "Come on, let's go out together, nothing will happen."

  The man in front of him stretched out his hand, and his voice was full of warmth.

  Countless times, she dreamed of herself carefree and playing outside, with everyone who saw her smiling and friendly. Countless times, when she woke up, tears had already soaked through the pillow.

  No one wants to be forever hidden in a shell, but she is struggling to survive like a snail.

  Lowering her head, she followed her brother and walked out of the house together.

  There weren't many people strolling around the neighborhood, but soon a noble lady walking her dog passed by her side. What was strange was that this time, the husky didn't bark at her, whereas normally even the weakest kitten would dare to swipe its paw at her.

  "Look, even the dog doesn't dislike you now."

  Wu Yuan spoke softly, pulling her to the playground in the neighborhood. A group of children were playing happily, and several pets were running on the lawn.

  A small dog came to Wu Zetian's side, sniffed her scent, and then circled around her.

  "Feel it and try it out."

  The man encouraged her, but Wu Zetian did not move. How many times, in her dreams, she dreamed of the small animals surrounding her and playing with her, rather than being bitten one after another.

  "Look, it's very soft, feels comfortable to touch."

  The man forcibly pulled her hand and let her stroke the puppy's fur. The soft feeling made her very comfortable.

  "Hey, don't touch my dog."

  A little girl ran over, said angrily, then she took a look at Wu Zetian and shook her head.

  "Sister, you're dressed too ugly."

  After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but saw Wu Zetian crying, with tears streaming down her cheeks.

  The girl suddenly became a little flustered, glanced at her parents in the distance. In this situation, if she was discovered by others, it would be too embarrassing.

  "Sister, I have chocolate here, I'll give it to you, don't cry, let Xiao Bai play here, I won't bother it, after a while it will run back by itself, okay?"

  The girl's chocolate fell into Wu Zetian's hands, she nodded and held back her tears.

  The little dog happily ran around Wu Zetian's side, feeling very comfortable.

  "Sister, you're actually very pretty. When I see you, it's like seeing something bright. Do you want me to help you dress up? You look a bit too ugly this way."

  The girl smiled and sat down beside Wu Zetian.

  "No...no need, I...I'm fine."

  Wu Zetian's voice was slightly trembling, it had been a long time since she spoke like this with a stranger.

  "Alright, I'm going out to play, I live at No. 54, come over and play when you're free, sister."

  The little girl laughed and ran away with her small dog.

  At this time, Wu Zetian felt the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake disappear.

  If someone has been bullied by strangers from childhood to adulthood, she will definitely not like talking to strangers.

  The strange little kids are even more direct, they are not good at hiding their emotions and actions, when they see Wu Zetian, they like to bully her.

  But today, Wu Zetian did not feel a hint of cruelty on the little girl.

  Really, can I really go out and not be bullied?

  How is that possible? From a young age, psychiatrists, behavioral experts, makeup artists, educators and even Taoist priests and Buddhist monks were invited by her father to help solve her problems, but none of them worked. Even wearing the relics of a high-ranking Buddhist monk around her neck had no effect.

  Her shoulders suddenly sank, and Wu Zetian found that she was leaning against her body. He fell asleep, snoring softly, his dark yellow complexion showing that he was exhausted to the extreme, so he fell asleep involuntarily.

  "...you this sturdy fellow like an ox..."

  She had never been in such close contact with a young man before, and Wu Zetian only felt a strange feeling on her body. It was not the fear of seeing a stranger, but a kind of intimacy.

  Just like when she was a kid, seeing those small animals made her think that if she were one of them, it would be great to have someone happily pick her up and hold her tight.

  The first time she saw him, her heart was filled with fear and helplessness.

  Her father was sent to prison by this man, and she would also face an unknown fate. How terrible it is for a man to be bad, she knew very well, and she had already prepared herself to be bullied by this man.

  But who could have thought that fate at this time would undergo an unexpected change.

  She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wanted to wipe off his sweat for him, but ended up startling Wu Yuan awake.

  "Sorry, I'm a bit sleepy and actually fell asleep. Sorry again, really sorry, haha, I've become just like you, so polite."

  "Thank you."

  She said in a low voice and pulled Wu Yuan towards the house.

  "Let's stay a bit longer, the air outside is very fresh. Don't be so anxious, okay... I'll go home, anyway I'm also very tired. Don't worry, I will protect you."

  "I just want to go home now!"

  She shouted loudly and bravely, using all her strength, pulling the big fool behind her to prevent him from catching a cold while sleeping outside.

  In her heart, it was as if something had shattered, releasing a sweetness like honey that permeated her entire body.

  This ordinary happiness, she had never experienced before.
