Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 504 The Afterglow of the Setting Sun... The sun has set.

"Father, Mother, Little Sister, I'm back."

In Songhua Town, Luo Ri opened his door and looked around, but saw no one.

"They really aren't home..." Sunset's divine sense hadn't fully recovered, but in order to see his family as soon as possible, he still used the little divine sense he had left to explore the vicinity.

Even though I knew beforehand that no one was home, I still couldn't resist going home to check on them first.

"Cough cough... Ouch, that evil demon lord who looks like an octopus is really cunning..." Sunset covered his left shoulder and rubbed it twice with his right hand.

Thinking of that ugly, octopus-like demon lord who loved to launch sneak attacks, whose tentacles could split into forty-eight on the spot, Sunset felt somewhat relieved when they finally managed to cut him into dozens of pieces by working together.

He took out a bottle of pills, opened it, and looked closely; there were three pills left inside.

Just as he was about to take it, Luo Ri changed his mind and decided to save the pills for later.

Now that the demonic tide has receded and the border has stabilized, I have time to recover and recuperate from my injuries. It would be a waste to take more pills now.

"If I sell these pills, I can get some spirit stones, and then I can gather enough pills for my parents to advance to the Nascent Soul stage..." Luo Ri casually put the pill bottle at home, thinking about seeing his parents as soon as possible.

My parents were of average talent; they couldn't even break through to the Golden Core stage. They relied on pills to get there, and they failed five times before they finally succeeded.

If you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage again, it will only become more difficult. You need to make more preparations. Two sets of cultivation resources for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage are not enough. You need to prepare at least ten sets... no, twenty sets!

"My parents mentioned in their letter that my little sister also has spiritual roots and can cultivate, so let's prepare another one for her..."

After locking the door, on the way to the market, Luo Ri hesitated: "At this hour, Father and Mother should have already gone to the market... Should I go to the market first, or pick up my little sister from school first?"

The market was bustling with people, and the sounds of pedestrians and vendors filled the air.

As the sun set, its gaze swept across the market. It didn't see its parents, but instead spotted a somewhat familiar female figure: "Isn't this Rong Shu's classmate? I remember her as... Yan Youwei from the Danxian Sect?"

When Luo Ri saw Yan Youwei suddenly collapse to the ground, looking unwell, he rushed over and immediately helped her up: "Junior Sister, are you alright?"

"Thank you, senior brother. I'm fine, but I'm having some physical discomfort..." Yan Youwei gasped for breath.

Sunset noticed that Yan Youwei's hands were constantly protecting her stomach, which was swollen like an inflated balloon, clearly a symptom of a woman about to give birth.

"You're pregnant? Your water broke, this... this... are you about to give birth?" This was the first time Sunset, a grown man, had encountered something like this.

In her haste, she remembered the details her father had described in his letter about her mother giving birth to her younger sister.

When the amniotic sac ruptures, it means the baby is about to be born.

You need to find a midwife and a doctor.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home first, then find you a midwife and doctor. Or I can just take you to a clinic to deliver the baby?"

Yan Youwei's face turned pale with pain. She reached out her left hand and grabbed Luo Ri's arm: "...No need to take me to the clinic. The clinic is too crowded and not suitable. Please take me back to my residence first, which is the sixth house in Tuanyuan Lane in the south."

"Okay, then hang in there."

In the blink of an eye, the setting sun swiftly led him into the sixth house in Reunion Lane. Noticing that the house was empty, he casually asked, "Junior Sister, where is your Daoist partner? Where are your parents and family?"

“My Daoist partner is gone…” Yan Youwei lowered her head, her voice low: “…My family didn’t want me to give birth to this posthumous child, so I ran away from home.”

"Uh...sorry, junior sister." Sunset was immediately embarrassed.

Yan Youwei's voice was weak and broken: "Senior brother, please... ah~"

The voice was too soft for Sunset to hear the rest of the conversation, so he leaned closer and asked, "Junior Sister, what did you say?"

"I...I want to..."

Yan Youwei seemed to want to stand up, but the next second she collapsed due to exhaustion, slumping into Luo Ri's arms, her other right hand weakly resting on Luo Ri's injured left shoulder.

"Junior sister, don't get up yet, I'll go find a midwife..."

The setting sun turned to leave—

Pfft!

A seemingly soft and weak hand suddenly plunged into the heart of the man before her.

The setting sun's pupils dilated instantly, reflecting the woman's increasingly eerie smile:

"A Nascent Soul stage body is quite difficult to penetrate in one go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Youwei's eyes hardened and she used all her strength again, piercing through Luo Ri's chest cavity!

A bloodied left hand emerged from behind her back, its long fingernails gripping a throbbing, hot heart.

Drip, drip... Blood flowed onto the ground, forming a trickle.

Unbelievable, Luo Ri gritted his teeth and struck Yan Youwei's right shoulder with a palm strike, sending her flying.

Just before Yan Youwei crashed into the wall, her limbs twisted like a spider, clinging firmly to the wall, her head tilted as she looked up at the setting sun.

"Haha, even at a time like this, you're still instinctively avoiding my stomach? Thank you so much, poor human~"

As the sun set, clutching her empty, bleeding heart, a wisp of spiritual energy emanated from her palm, attempting to stop the bleeding.

But as that claw pierced through, streams of nightmare energy surged out of his body, constantly devouring the spiritual energy that Sunset had injected.

The blood is still flowing.

Sunset gritted her teeth: "You, you're a Nightmare Clan member?! How did you manage to escape the search?!"

Songhua Town...

How could there be Nightmare Clan members in Songhua Town? My parents and younger sister are still in town...

"Unfortunately, I should have torn your dantian apart, but considering that you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, and that protecting your dantian is already a subconscious reaction, I decided to take your heart instead!"

Yan Youwei still held Luo Ri's heart in her right hand, opened her mouth and bit down, blood splattering everywhere, her mouth, face, hair, clothes... all covered in splattered blood spots!

"It's so delicious! I haven't had such delicious food in so long..."

"My baby is hungry, it's hungry! I want to feed my baby! As a token of my gratitude, you will become nourishment for the baby in my womb!!!"

The door behind the setting sun was slammed shut and locked by the nightmare energy that filled the entire room.

“…No need to close the door.” Sunset looked up, a faint golden light gleaming in his eyes.

This is the divine power of the setting sun—

[Guardian of the Afterglow]

He said, "I won't leave."

Because outside the door lies the entire world he is doing everything he can to protect.

"..."

Outside Songhua Town, Rong Shu and his two companions hurried over.

Behind me, the distant mountains shimmered in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Before me lay a small town shrouded in darkness.

"Father, mother!"

A little girl with her hair in a small ponytail ran out of the school and buried herself in her parents' arms.

"Is studying tiring?"

"Not tired at all! The teacher tested my memorization today, and I've memorized all of them!"

"My daughter is so great, what kind of reward do you want?"

"I want my brother. He didn't even come to see me when he came back last time. I want him to come home and study with me..."

A family of three, hand in hand, walked home in the soft glow of the setting sun.
