She has hundreds of thousands of supernatural powers, but she always says she is weak.

Chapter 156 Level 2 Domain Opener

The scene in front of Zuo Xiuyan changed.

Countless gold, silver and treasures piled up to form an endless land.

But here it's sticky and sharp.

All the treasures were covered with something dirty and smelly, and covered with fine, cold thorns.

Zuo Xiuyan took a step forward, and the sticky stuff stuck to the soles of her shoes like glue. She took another step and felt a stinging pain on the soles of her feet.

A rustling sound came from the front.

It was a hill of gold, silver and treasures, more than ten meters high. Something rolled down from it, and all the jewels along the way were scattered everywhere.

Zuo Xiuyan quickened his pace.

As I got closer, I could see clearly that it was a girl in white, but half of her body had turned to bones.

Golden bones.

The girl looked up at the highest point on the mountain top, where there was a crystal clear round crystal ball emitting bright light.

She stood up again, bent her body, and used her hands and feet to climb up the hillside again like a wild beast.

The sharp spikes had already torn her clothes, made her bleed, and left scratches on her bones.

But she still didn't care.

Just when she was halfway up, the jewels began to slide down like a mudslide, sweeping her down.

"You can't get it." Zuo Xiuyan stood beside her and said softly.

The girl was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are."

The half-human, half-monster girl was stunned, as if she only realized the problem in an instant.

She frowned, and in panic, she recalled a familiar name from her chaotic mind.

"Jin, Zhi?" She uttered the two words tentatively.

But then she shook her head and continued to climb the mountain. Nothing else mattered to her except this one thing.

Roll down, climb up, roll down, climb up.

With each movement, the flesh on Jin Zhi's body gradually disappeared, and his bones became more and more numerous.

Zuo Xiuyan didn't say anything. She turned around and walked up the mountain step by step.

Under Jin Zhi's incredulous eyes, Zuo Xiuyan walked to the top of the mountain, bent down to pick up the crystal ball as big as a basketball, and then walked back slowly step by step.

Zuo Xiuyan handed over the crystal.

Jin Zhi suddenly snatched it away and held it tightly in his arms, staring at it with his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open in surprise.

She kept shrinking her shoulders and arms, fearing that this hard-earned thing would slip away.

Click.

The crystal cracked quickly, breaking into small pieces and scattering all over the ground.

Jin Zhi's expression froze. She suddenly knelt on the ground and reached out to pick up the fragments in panic. The moment she touched them, they disappeared.

She dug at the ground frantically, but found nothing.

Her body trembled more and more. She stood up suddenly, grabbed Zuo Xiuyan's arm, and roared angrily: "Did you destroy it?"

Zuo Xiuyan looked into her eyes and said slowly: "I can give you money, but it is just money. The respect you desire, the love you ask for, the acceptance and tolerance you want...it can't give you."

Jin Zhi paused, and his grip weakened a bit.

Zuo Xiuyan held her wrist and slowly put her hand down: "Do you really want money?"

"I want it! I've tried so hard and tried every possible way for it, can't you see that?"

"So do you like things that hurt yourself?"

Jin Zhi hesitated: "...I don't like it."

Zuo Xiuyan pointed at her bloody body and said, "Then how could you really want it? Something that you think can only bring you pain."

Jin Zhi lowered his head and covered his wound fiercely: "No, I love it, it..."

"You think it's dirty and the people who own it are evil."

"Everyone is dressed in white, penniless, and comes into this world pure. But once they have money, it's like they are stained with blood, and those bright red numbers are the evidence of their crimes."

"In your eyes, rich people are those who can only survive by taking other people's things."

"If you don't want to be a sinner, you won't want to have more money."

"After all, how can a person become something he hates?"

Jin Zhi opened his mouth: "I..."

Only then did she suddenly realize how contradictory this was.

I desire money, but I hate and despise money.

Two thoughts lingered, pulled, and wrestled in her mind.

The ground was shaking, and even the golden mountain was shaken, and a layer of jewels rolled down from above.

Zuo Xiuyan picked up one and said, "Money is just money, it is neither good nor bad. It is just a magnifying glass."

A generous person will become more generous with it, and a stingy person will become more stingy with it.

People with good intentions will make it do more good things, while people with bad intentions will make it an accomplice.

Some people don't become bad just because they have money, but the evil originally hidden in their hearts finally has the "strength" to be exerted.

In Zuo Xiuyan's hand, the dirtiness of the gem faded away and the thorns disappeared.

Jin Zhi found it hard to believe that the thing that was hurting him could change like this.

She squatted down again and wanted to grab a handful.

The money fled.

She painfully discovered that even if she had money, she could not possess either of them.

"Someone once said that you don't deserve such a good thing." Zuo Xiuyan paused for a moment, "Yes, your father."

Jin Zhi's eyes widened, and his nostrils expanded and contracted slightly due to his quickened breathing.

"You were confused, you resisted, but in the end, you still agreed."

"How can you really get it if you feel you don't deserve it? Even if it comes to you, it will eventually break."

She was driven by some force, constantly trying to prove that she was worthy of the "crystal".

However, the fundamental reason for such crazy efforts is that I feel I am not good enough.

Because of her feeling of unworthiness, money will never stay with her.

It is either hard to get or quickly lost once you get it.

Zuo Xiuyan looked towards the top of the mountain, where crystals appeared again.

“No matter how many times, no matter how hard you try…it will always be just out of your reach.”

Jin Zhi stood up in fear, took a big step back, stared at her and shook his head: "You, how do you know what my dad said..."

"Your father has used his actions and words to strip away and destroy your inner sense of security time and time again."

Just as that room can be avoided, but avoiding it is useless.

Even a tightly closed door would break under repeated sharp impacts, and finally he would pierce directly into the softest part.

“So, no matter how much money you have, you can never have an absolute sense of security. Even if you are surrounded by money, you still feel the constant fear of losing it.”

“No matter how much money you get, it will only hurt you.”

"You fear money more than you love it."
