Luck is a Charm

Chapter 46: Reset Cultivation

Once Cecilia recalls the event in the new dungeon, she looked solemnly at Zhen who just fainted. 

She suddenly flicked her finger and some true qi starts to flow toward his body.

At this moment, Zhen was finally awake from all those new crazy information that just happened. 

The images in the staircase were the scene of the person in front of him talking with the now-dead Karl.

His prediction was correct as climbing to this peak means the whole jigsaw puzzles will be completed and he has a basic understanding of the event that occurred to Cecilia.

'I bet she knew my thoughts as well given the fact that she has been inside me ever since the day I was born.' 

Zhen predicted that Cecilia should know about the time he read a novel and found out that most of the plot inside is perfectly describing her story.

Always a tragic event that led to her downfall and to magically strive back up with the help of the protagonist. 

Except, Zhen never knew one day, he would be one of those protagonists.

Zhen has never read a plot like this so he doesn't know what to do and what would happen to those who he has gotten close to.

Sara, John, and Sandy, this family has given him warmth and although John has been harsh on him lately, it was simply a parent caring for their child.

Something that Zhen wished for a long time and his maid... 

Thinking about the maid again, Zhen closed his eyes to stop reminiscing as he believed she would knock him in the head for always thinking of the negative again.

Zhen slowly looked up to this peerless woman in front of him, "I have learned a bit of the event that happened to you and know that you have been secretly helping me out."

Cecilia didn't reply to him and only stared at him in silence. Zhen couldn't help but feel frustrated by this kind of response and it's not because she didn't reply to him but it's her facial feature.

'Please answer me already and not stare at me like that. I would have committed a crime if my mindset were any weaker. You have no idea how much a guy would embrace you or even have lustful thought'

*Cough* 

"I finally know why I could survive those harsh winters when I'm forced to stay outside as I always felt warmth whenever I was about to die. It should be your doing right?"

Zhen tried to calm his nerves and continue to make a conversation with her. 

However, his effort was in vain as she still stares at him without any intention to reply.

'Fine, you were a Sovereign in the past but it's no longer that. Heck, I can't even tell your cultivation base nor if I can even say your mage rank is 1-9 or like that.'

Zhen obtained a portion of memories from Cecilia back when she was in the higher world so he knew that this fantasy world is only a tiny world.

Although Zhen was a bit shocked to learn that he's in a tiny world, it didn't affect him much as everything is abnormal. 

Just based on the fact that he didn't die and transmigrated here is something that no one would believe him.

Not even Kuro would believe Zhen if he didn't see his ignorant state and connected with him through the contract. 

'Tiny world, I can still accept that but even the cultivation ranking is completely wrong is unbelievable to me.'

"Is there a reason why I lost all my power when I entered this mysterious place?" This is his main question as Zhen doesn't know what else could explain about his loss of cultivation.

Since Zhen has followed the cultivation procedure that this world believed in, therefore with this new profound knowledge, his cultivation process is completely wrong.

But the most critical issue is, Zhen has no idea how to fix this mess of mine, and the only person capable of guiding him should be none other than Cecilia Von Henning.

"I can indeed guide you to the correct path but I have a condition and you should know it." After a long time, Cecilia finally opened her mouth to speak.

Her voice is really mesmerizing to seduce man easily but Zhen composed himself as he didn't even dare to have any illicit thoughts nor actions toward her.

'Who am I kidding? She is way too powerful and if it weren't for her life is still connected to me, I'll be discarded right away.'

"Your condition should be having me help you on the path of vengeance right?" Zhen replied slowly without any lewd expression, acting like a complete gentleman.

"Indeed, talking to wise people always makes things easier. As you have already known that I've been accompanying you ever since your birth, I still need your help as I can only project myself like this."

Zhen nodded at her word since she was strong before but now, she is only a virtual image. 

Probably when she reached a certain cultivation rank again, then she would be able to forge her own body.

"I understand that but how would I know that you don't have any malicious intent toward me after I helped you regain an actual body?" Zhen asked this slowly since he needed to confirm that she would not harm him in any way possible.

"Sigh, I praise you way too early again. If I really wanted to have malicious intent towards you then I could easily dispel myself from your body or even worse, occupy your soul completely." Cecilia shook her head with disappointment when she heard his comment.

Meanwhile, Zhen was dumbstruck as he clearly did not expect something like that. 

Thinking it more deeply, Zhen concluded that he had probably obtained a fragment of memories that she allowed him to pry into.

Smacking his head for overestimating himself again, "I understand and honestly, if it weren't for you, I would have probably died so many times especially my final free-fall moment in the skyscraper. I believed it was also due to you that I transmigrated?"

"You are right and you should address me as your highness or queen from now on. Until I deem you qualified, you are not allowed to address me by name, Cecilia nor use the 'you' term again." Cecilia suddenly said in an extremely domineering tone.

When Cecilia finishes speaking, Zhen feels suffocated from the aura she is emitting and with a difficult breathing tone, "I understand queen. Now shouldn't you tell me what to do since I'm completely clueless?"

Cecilia nodded in approval for his quick-witted and actions. She slowly said with a smile, "Seeing how you're smart enough to understand the situation, I won't be harsh with you."

However, Zhen only felt a cold chill running through his body as he can tell, that smile is an Asura's smile that has malicious intent.

With a shaky voice, "W-What do you suggest me to do first, q-queen?" 

Zhen started to tremble more as her smile grew wider and only one word can describe this expression, dreadful.

If it were a genuine smile, Zhen would definitely be heart-struck. But it's not and he is now extremely frightened by her huge smile.

"Very simple, we start by resetting your cultivation and start body tempering treatment to restart the true cultivation rank."

Cecilia said as she laughed in her mind. She can't help but starts to imagine his fate when the process begins.
