The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 189 Fate's Ordeal

Ye Ling had a dark childhood, especially the kneeling incident, which made her feel extremely humiliated and sad.

But this also made her realize that no one in this world can be relied upon.

Your family hopes you'll be sensible and independent; your teachers want to downplay the issue; and the bullies think you're making a mountain out of a molehill...

No one can understand your pain and despair; it is a heart-wrenching, bone-deep resentment.

From that moment on, she realized that the most lies in the world came from adults, and that adults were the best at lying.

They are selfish, indifferent, and hypocritical, but they never admit that they are like that. When their disguise is exposed and their ugly souls exude corruption and filth, instead of reflecting on themselves, they fly into a rage and turn the tables, using their angry, distorted faces and hoarse curses to cover up their decaying souls.

They could clearly see the children's poor acting skills and their flawed lies, but they pretended not to know for their own selfish reasons, and even condoned their actions to hurt others.

Ye Ling understood from that moment on that it was better to rely on herself than on others, and that in this world, mountains may crumble and people may run away.

Only you can feel genuine excitement for your own success; only success gives you the capital to fight back.

Ye Ling is very smart and knows that she is at a disadvantage in many aspects, but she is a very patient hunter. She can make use of all available resources, and everyone can be a knife in her hand.

After figuring everything out, she started to worry again. She could analyze the survival of the fittest with her own talent, but no one had taught her how to do it, and she was confused.

Just as she was feeling lost, something happened that caught her completely off guard—someone confessed their feelings to her.

Her mind was a bit of a mess, but she also thought that the other person might be her turning point. She could use his influence to protect herself and do something to achieve her goals.

But she was conflicted, feeling guilty for taking advantage of others, which went against her educational philosophy, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.

But after she figured it out, she was so angry she laughed. The other person was a notorious playboy in school who would harass any girl who was even slightly attractive. He was utterly shameless.

But Ye Ling felt that everything should be taken seriously, so she replied seriously and rejected the other party.

Ye Ling was only in first grade at the time. She didn't know how to write many words, and her handwriting was also awkward. But she still carefully wrote down what she wanted to express, and wrote down the pinyin for the words she didn't know how to write.

But this incident became a source of amusement for the boys, and she felt a little embarrassed. Luckily, she ran away quickly!

At first, she was glad that someone would notice her as an ordinary person, but then she felt bitter because it was just something they used to pass the time when they were bored, and it provided them with something to laugh about.

She respected that person a lot. Even though she knew he wasn't a very good person, Ye Ling still tried her best to respect him. She replied to his letter in private, and even the content of the letter was carefully considered before she wrote it, for fear of hurting his self-esteem.

Being ridiculed by others is very painful and makes her feel helpless. She went through this and didn't want anyone to feel the same way.

But she secretly saw the boys gathered together, his face indifferent as he slowly opened the envelope, while the people around him cheered and laughed. It all seemed to have nothing to do with him, or perhaps he had done it many times before.

Ye Ling felt a mix of emotions. She felt as if the other person had suddenly rotted away, showing her no respect whatsoever, and was merely toying with her out of boredom.

Ye Ling wondered if his nonchalant smile when he saw the crooked handwriting mixed with pinyin on the letter was just watching a clown.

Ye Ling gave a self-deprecating laugh. She used to think that family ties were unreliable and friendships were untrustworthy, and now she felt that love was also fake.

From then on, Ye Ling stopped believing in love! Even when someone did fall in love with her, and that pure love lasted for a very long time, she still couldn't believe it, and was even less willing to accept it.

Ye Ling always ran away when she encountered love. Everyone thought she had high standards, and later even she thought so. It wasn't until later that she realized that it wasn't that she had high standards, but that she could see the ending of love at a glance and saw through love. She was unwilling to exchange her momentary soft heart for the pain of two people.

It's a pity they met at the wrong time. They fell in love at the age when they were least capable, were rejected when their feelings were most sincere, and received no response when they should have.

This may be their regret, and it is also Ye Ling's regret.

If Ye Ling had met them before that person, perhaps the ending would have been different. She would have enjoyed love without any reservations and given them her love without holding back. Even if they eventually separated, their love would have been passionate and intense.

But fate is so unpredictable. Ye Ling saw at a glance that their love would end in separation. She knew that even if their personalities were compatible, time was their enemy, and they could not defeat it. Her careful consideration of everything destined her to suffer pain and helplessness.

Ye Ling always believed that the most suitable opportunity would appear at the right time, and that missing it too early or too late would ultimately lead to missing it.

As Ye Ling grew older, her personality became more assertive. She felt so tired, but then her family's attitude changed. They stopped being harsh and instead showed rare gentleness.

She was surprised. Why? But no one gave her an answer.

All she knew was that this was a chance for their relationship to improve. She was also tired and longed to return to their embrace and snuggle in their warmth to rest.
