Chapter 156 The Tyrant Desired by Fate—Yur
The wandering merchant quickly paid Pei Hening's bill and placed the items she bought into the air.
The item is hovering.
Pei Hening spotted the red and gold book, "The Tyrant Desired by Fate - The Legend of Yul," immediately. She picked up the book and put everything else away.
Chu Xuange had finished selecting his books, and he naturally noticed the book in Pei Hening's hand—he didn't have one.
The wandering merchant fell silent when he paid Chu Xuange's bill.
Humans have only been using highways for survival for a short time, right? How can someone be so wealthy?
It glanced at them again and memorized their appearance.
Perhaps it can hang around in front of these two more often; it has plenty of good stuff there, and I bet it can empty their pockets.
Pei Hening and Chu Xuange were unaware of what the wandering merchant was thinking, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. After all, the wandering merchant was after money, and they were after his supplies, so neither side was at a loss.
After finishing their shopping, the two returned to their car, and the wandering merchant was nowhere to be seen.
The outer packaging of "The Legend of Galakh" is red and orange. The cover features a faceless dwarf standing beside a furnace forging weapons, with a background of a whole wall of unique magical ore. The book is written in dwarven script as "The Legend of Galakh".
As for "The Tyrant Who Destined for Fate - The Legend of Yul", which is also a biography, the red and gold packaging features a cover depicting a woman with long, curly purple hair whose face is obscured. She is wearing black soft armor and holding a black longsword, resolutely heading towards a battlefield that is like a meat grinder. The image is quite shocking, and the text in this book is something she has never seen before.
Pei Hening glanced at the man again before opening the book.
"In an era of turmoil and chaos, a powerful force is needed to end the disorder and establish a new order. We do not call her a'savior,' but rather a 'tyrant that destiny desires.'"
"When fate is in chaos, it often gives rise to those who can break the deadlock, and Yul is such a being."
"A creature born of fate will inevitably be swept into the eye of the storm. There is no way back but to contend and coexist with the courage deep in its spine, the cowardice in its marrow, and the burning desire in its soul!"
Pei Hening glimpsed the legendary life of this creature named Yur from these words.
Chu Xuange prepared two simple bowls of chicken noodle soup in the kitchen area. When he brought them out, he saw that she was still reading, so he sat down next to her and ate slowly.
Pei Hening smelled the rich aroma, and when she looked up, she saw the chicken noodle soup. Her eyes lit up: "It smells so good, it looks delicious."
"It's really delicious, you should try it."
Pei Hening took a bite of noodles before suddenly remembering that she had heard the name Yu'er before.
Shuxiao mentioned this person!
"What's wrong?"
Pei Hening looked at him and asked, "Do you know Yul?"
Chu Xuange nodded: "I know, she's very famous. She often runs gambling dens. Some of the veterans in Vice City have gambled with her, some winning and some losing."
Pei Hening remembered correctly; she had indeed heard Shuxiao mention this person before.
She pushed the book, "The Tyrant Desired by Fate - The Legend of Yul," in front of Chu Xuange.
"Is this Yul the one who runs the gambling den?"
"It must be her. Is this the book you just bought? I only saw you take the book, but I didn't see the title."
Pei Hening: "Yes, it's so expensive, it costs 20 gold coins."
"Since you've already bought it, don't worry about the price anymore. I'll reimburse you."
As Chu Xuange spoke, he transferred 100 gold coins to Pei Hening.
——
School.
Pei Hening went to class obediently.
She planned to find Shuxiao after class to verify whether Yu'er, who ran the gambling den, was the same tyrant whom fate desired.
Seeing that she was distracted, 823786 said, "Good day, student."
"You really don't want to see me?"
Pei Hening snapped out of her daze and stared wide-eyed at 823786, who was spouting nonsense.
"Teacher 823786, are you slandering me?"
823786: "..."
It also gave it a very bad feeling.
823786 abruptly changed the subject: "It's class time now, let's start class."
"Teacher 823786, your words are really hurtful~"
823786 has a blank face, and his words go in one ear and out the other.
Pei Hening glanced at it, then suddenly remembered that Guhun seemed to have some connection with Yu'er, as it had mentioned Yu'er's name before. She approached with a beaming smile: "Teacher 823786~ May I ask you a question~"
823786 said in a serious tone, "Don't ask questions that are not related to studying. Class is in session."
Pei Hening stared at it longingly, her eyes practically overflowing with desire.
823786: "..."
It met her inquisitive eyes and gritted its teeth: "One minute."
"Okay, Teacher 823786 is so kind. Does Yul have an autobiography? Is it called 'The Tyrant Desired by Fate - The Legend of Yul'?"
823786 became interested and said, "Yes, you bought it?"
Pei Hening blinked: "Teacher 823786, one minute is up~ Let's continue the lesson~"
823786 has fallen silent. Did they buy it or not?
Seeing that it didn't speak, Pei Hening said, "I'll buy it."
823786: "Your taste... is unique."
When Yul was chosen to publish his autobiography, he was particularly unhappy.
On the day her autobiography was put on sale, she burned 99.9% of it and declared that she did not want to see books that arbitrarily judged her life in the road survival section.
It caused quite a stir at the time; even the detective went to see what was going on.
Pei Hening noticed something strange in its tone and asked, "Is there something wrong with this book?"
She frowned: "Could it be that the contents of this book are fabricated?"
823786 chuckled: "It's not made up. It's just that Yul really dislikes others judging her life casually. On the day her autobiography was released, she caused a scene."
"You can buy the autobiography if you want, just don't show it to Yul."
823786 paused for a moment: "I mean, before you can beat Yul."
Pei Hening: "..."
Did I step on another landmine?
Does 823786 mean that as long as she can beat Yul, it doesn't matter?
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's start class."
Pei He calmed down and began the lesson. Today's lesson was on the principles of magic. 823786 had probably gone for further studies, as he explained the principles of magic in a very interesting, simple, and appropriate way, using easy-to-understand examples.
Seeing that Pei Hening was in good spirits, 823786 took the opportunity to expand on the content further.
