Chapter 2506: Change Your Terms
“Stop it. Change your terms.” Luo Jiang’s forehead was beaded with sweat.
“Human souls are quite valuable. The seven emotions and six desires, the soul energy, and the soul origin… They are all forms of energy.” The beauty take down system sighed.
Luo Jiang sweated even more. The back of his clothes was wet with sweat.
Luo Jiang gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
“You want my parents’ lives?” Luo Jiang’s voice trembled.
“What a stupid host. Didn’t I just say that human souls are valuable? Of course I want it. Pure souls or extremely evil souls in particular all have great power.”
The voice of the system carried imperceptible malice. “Your soul has also started to become evil.”
“Shut up. Shut up!” Luo Jiang covered his ears, fell on the bed, and wrapped his body in the quilt.
“This offer will always stand,” the system said.
Luo Jiang was trembling all over.
Luo Jiang kept thinking about the system’s words all night. These words seemed to be engraved in his mind.
There was even a voice in his heart that seemed to be bewitching him. It told him that since his parents were getting old, sooner or later, they’d die anyway.
Even if they died, shouldn’t they die for something worth it?
Once the system restored his body, he’d be able to bring honor to his ancestors. At that time, his parents would also have something to be proud of.
However, Luo Jiang didn’t have the guts to kill his parents. Even if he didn’t do it with his own hands, he’d still be the one who sent his parents to their death.
Luo Jiang couldn’t sleep all night. He woke up the next day with a haggard face.
When Luo Jiang’s father saw his son’s appearance, his anger rose and he couldn’t help scolding him. “Can’t you at least wash your face?”
It wasn’t that long ago that his son started grooming himself and acting respectable despite not having any work. At that time, Luo Jiang’s father had been worried that Luo Jiang was up to no good, but after just a few days, Luo Jiang returned to his old ways.
He didn’t shave and looked very unkempt. He also had a bad complexion. He must’ve stayed up playing games all night again.
Luo Jiang originally wanted to talk back, but then something occurred to him and he obediently went to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Luo Jiang’s father didn’t quite know how to react to facing such an obedient Luo Jiang.
When Luo Jiang came back out to have breakfast, his father began to nag him to stop messing around and find a job.
Luo Jiang ate his breakfast and just nodded every now and then in response.
After breakfast, when Luo Jiang’s father was about to work, Luo Jiang stopped him. He opened his mouth and after a pause, said, “Be careful on the road.”
Luo Jiang’s father looked surprised and finally nodded with a smile on his face.
After breakfast, Luo Jiang took the initiative to help his mother clean up and wash the dishes. He also swept the floor.
Luo Jiang’s mother, like her husband, was a little unsettled with her son’s sudden change in behavior, but she just inwardly told herself that her son had become sensible.
Recently, Luo Jiang had been staying at home the entire time and acting very well-behaved.
Luo Jiang’s mother also told Mother Hu that her son was sensible now. He helped with housework and even helped with getting groceries and cooking.
Mother Hu was stunned. She couldn’t believe Luo Jiang’s mother was describing her son.
It felt like she was talking about the wrong person.
It totally didn’t sound like Luo Jiang at all.
During the meal, Mother Hu also told Father Hu and Ning Shu about it.
Father Hu also looked surprised, but then said, “It’s good that he has matured. Old Luo is being rewarded for his past suffering.”
“Why do I have a bad feeling about this, though?” Mother Hu muttered.
Ning Shu’s hand, which held her chopsticks, stilled. She also didn’t think this was quite right. It was hard for someone’s nature to change.
Luo Jiang had always been someone who wanted to achieve great things. Why would he suddenly want to do these chores?
The Luo Jiang she knew would definitely rather spend his time flirting with girls instead of doing chores at home.
Ning Shu wanted to see what trick Luo Jiang was playing.
