High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 196 - 127: Vows of Evil Karma, Ping’an Town (Three-in-One) (Part 2)
The karma brought about by this "life and death nature" calculates the cause and effect in proximity!
In other words, he killed Wu Man and gained a portion of evil karma, while at the same time, because he killed Wu Man, he saved someone who would have died directly because of Wu Man, thus earning a portion of good karma.
In short, Chen Kuang speculated that it must be because his actions changed the fate of someone who would have died due to Wu Man, and thus there was only one portion of good karma.
Yes, "only."
According to the information Wu Man confessed, the number of people she killed or would kill in the future is far more than just one.
If everything were accounted for, Chen Kuang should have at least gained seventeen or eighteen portions of good karma for killing one person.
Thinking of this, Chen Kuang couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful and couldn’t help but click his tongue in his heart.
He instantly recalled when he obtained the "Fasting" passive skill, he had once "indirectly saved the lives of fifty thousand people."
This is real-time feedback from the status bar and must count within the realm of good karma.
If he had received this "life and death nature" a bit earlier, it would have been a full fifty thousand portions of good karma!
Chen Kuang lamented inwardly.
On the other side, Liu Qingcheng tried to understand what Chen Kuang was saying: "You... Senior, are you saying that the companions of this snake demon will willingly come looking for you?"
She initially wanted to use her previous habit of addressing him, but recalling the tragic death scene of Wu Man, she immediately changed to a respectful address.
Chen Kuang nodded, somewhat amused.
This courtesan was quite cunning, learning from Wu Man and secretly changing her address to "Senior," trying to categorize herself quietly among the younger generation of the Demon Race and draw closer to Chen Kuang.
He had to take back his previous evaluation; this Lady Liu did have some cleverness.
But not too much.
Liu Qingcheng furrowed her brows, somewhat shocked: "But doesn’t that mean they are coming for revenge..."
Chen Kuang shook his head, replying meaningfully:
"No one will come to avenge her."
"The only people who will come due to the disappearance of this snake demon are two types: the first type is the demons from the ’Mountain and Sea Alliance,’ but soon, they will know about the snake demon being a traitor, and naturally, they won’t seek revenge for a traitor."
"The second type is people from the Government Office. If they haven’t found the culprit, they will surely keep investigating. With the methods of the Divine Farmer Bureau, if they send a master, they should find this place shortly."
"The officials from tonight are not enough to be of concern."
"But regardless of who it is, they will only come for the few boxes of official silver, not to avenge this snake demon."
Liu Qingcheng really wanted to ask how he knew, but recalling the mysterious and ghostly methods the other party used earlier, she immediately gave up on that thought.
She lowered her head, looking at the few boxes of hot potatoes spat out by Wu Man, and said:
"Then should these official silvers be returned?"
Chen Kuang raised an eyebrow and laughed: "Why return them?"
These few boxes of official silver in his hands could multiply their original value by hundreds of times, so naturally, it was impossible to return them.
Moreover, he intended to use this official silver that delivered itself to his door to achieve a huge portion of good karma, but it would still take some time to clarify the situations in Zangfeng and Yong’an states.
Liu Qingcheng was momentarily speechless but heard Chen Kuang continue, saying:
"You should have understood just now, these official silvers, the Chief Constable plans to pocket them himself."
"If returned now, it would be like sending a dumpling to a dog, never to return."
Liu Qingcheng tried to analyze: "But since it’s already been stolen once, to avoid losing face twice, they probably won’t make another move."
Chen Kuang shook his head and said: "In Zangfeng State, it won’t be stolen again, but once the convoy enters Yong’an State, whether the official silver will still be there or not is none of his concern."
Liu Qingcheng pursed her lips, wondering if just ensuring that these ten boxes of relief silver reached their destination was really that difficult.
Chen Kuang looked at her, asking: "Don’t you want to be a demon? Why are you suddenly so compassionate?"
"Most of the victims are humans, what does it have to do with demons?"
Liu Qingcheng was put in a difficult position by the question, opened her mouth, and said dejectedly:
"I thought..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Chen Kuang interjected: "You thought demons were beyond rules, living freely outside the norms set by humans."
"So you want to become a demon, even though you only have a quarter of demon race blood."
He shrugged:
"Now you see how real demons live."
"They also live under oppression, surviving in the cracks."
Chen Kuang knew from the beginning what Liu Qingcheng wanted and also knew that she actually still considered herself human.
For someone like her, becoming a demon would be ten thousand times worse than being human.
Liu Qingcheng fell silent.
After a long while, she added: "But... Senior is different."
Chen Kuang pondered and said: "Maybe because I’m quite strong?"
Liu Qingcheng: "..."
Chen Kuang turned his head to glance at her: "In this world, there has never been a division between humans and demons, only between the strong and the weak."
Floating weeds block the sky, and swimming fish scramble to cross.
He understood this truth since escaping from the Imperial City.
Liu Qingcheng remained silent for a while and suddenly looked at Chen Kuang with some hope.
Chen Kuang waved his hand and sent the three boxes of silver away, all sinking to the bottom of the Rouge River.
—Actually, that box of official silver had been sinking in the Rouge River, but none of the officials noticed it, simply exemplifying the extent of blindness under the lamp.
However, firstly, the Rouge River was too conspicuous; in general, the more obvious the place, the less thought of it there is.
Secondly, Lianmi had distracted their attention for a while.
