Chapter 117 Resistance
"What a terrible world," Luo Xi, Baihe, and Le Tong had arrived in front of a dilapidated mud-brick house. Luo Xi raised her hand and pointed to a rotten wooden door. "Those in power divide people into different classes. People like us who live at the bottom of the social hierarchy can hardly satisfy their material needs, and their survival is not even guaranteed."
"And I myself was once at that level." Luo Xi said to Baihe and Le Tong in a calm tone, a look of reminiscence on her face.
"Boss Xi," Yue Tong hesitated before speaking, "is it because you've been in that kind of environment and gained extraordinary powers... that you want to do things that benefit ordinary people? Like 'a person who has been caught in the rain wants to hold an umbrella for others'? If other people from the lower classes also gained extraordinary powers, would they also be like you...?"
"No," she shook her head gently, "if they gain superhuman abilities, most of them will only think about ruling the world and exploiting those without superhuman abilities even more ruthlessly."
"But witches aren't like that, are they?" Yue Tong asked, puzzled.
"As long as we are human, we are all the same, regardless of gender, age, or even myself. Human nature is no different."
"I've analyzed why witches didn't rule the world: first, their numbers were relatively small, and they failed to unite; second, when they became witches, most of them were too young and didn't understand what power was; and third, the time since supernatural powers appeared in this world was too short," Luo Xi smiled. "But that's actually a good thing, because we still have time to guide and educate them, to build their minds, and to teach them how to get along properly with ordinary people."
"Rose has always told me to be a human being," Luo Xi then looked at Baihe and Yue Tong, "I've been thinking, what is a human being? As an extraordinary being, what does it take to be considered a human being? To possess humanity? To possess its brilliance and its darkness?"
"Initially, implementing regulations to protect ordinary people in Dachang City was just wishful thinking on my part. From my perspective, I was an extraordinary person who improved their living conditions and raised their living standards. But in the eyes of ordinary people," Luo Xi paused for a moment, "I was just a dictator who didn't understand reality. All they knew was that their salaries had decreased because of my regulations."
"Therefore, they were easily incited to come and cause trouble."
"So, do you want to withdraw the decree?" Lily asked with great interest.
"What's said is said. Compared to the original system, my requirements have indeed reduced working hours by more than half, but I don't intend to change them." Luo Xi's expression remained unchanged.
"Many things must be done in one step. I have considered the industrial level of this world, and my regulations are fully executable," Luo Xi smiled. "The only reason they are unwilling to comply is because I have touched the interests of those in power."
"This is... the house of that person who caused trouble earlier?" Lily looked at the mud-brick house, slightly puzzled. "You clearly sensed the condition of his house with your consciousness, why did you have to come and confirm it in person?"
Luo Xi just smiled and didn't say anything.
Although I experienced sadness in my past life, it was ultimately a matter of reincarnation. The system in my past life was so good; this world... needs to learn from it.
In a way, the world should thank her past life, after all, back then she genuinely received nine years of free compulsory education and even went to high school properly, making her an educated person.
But precisely because of this, she lacked resolve in many matters that required killing to resolve.
She needs to witness the misery of ordinary people in this world to strengthen her resolve to reform!
Before the door was even opened, the people inside seemed to sense that someone was talking outside. Soon after, a thin, pale-faced child opened the door.
The child was about five or six years old. Luo Xi smiled at the child and then went inside.
The room was poorly lit, and a strong smell of medicine filled the air as soon as you entered. On a bed against the wall not far away, lay a woman, presumably the child's mother.
"Cough cough...cough, pour some water for the guests." The woman seemed very ill, struggling to turn over, coughing as she directed the children to pour water for them.
Luo Xi immediately stopped the children from pouring water for them, saying, "We just came to take a look."
Turning to look at Yue Tong, he asked, "Yue Tong, can you recover?"
Yes, the magical property of Lok Tong—restoration!
Le Tong didn't speak, but with a wave of her hand, the woman's complexion visibly improved. The woman seemed to notice the change in her body, looked at them with a puzzled expression, and then tried to get out of bed. After discovering that her body was normal, she was overjoyed and burst into tears.
"Le Tong, if you had used your magical abilities properly, you would have a very high status now and be respected by many people. But because of the Witch Council..." Luo Xi sighed, "The Witch Council initially treated witches as tools and weapons, and later, they even treated witches as threats."
The woman cried for a while before she realized what was happening and immediately tried to kneel down.
Luo Xi made no extra movements, but simply turned around and looked at Baihe, "Let's go, let's go to where the people in power in Dachang City are."
They were instantly transported several kilometers away, and Baihe had taken Luo Xi and Le Tong to a new place.
"Lily, do you think what I'm doing right now is good or bad?" After stopping the vine teleportation, Luo Xi asked Lily.
"That's a good thing," Lily said earnestly. "I hope you can always be like this."
"Good and bad are just human definitions, and a person cannot be simply categorized as good or bad," Luo Xi said, looking at Baihe. "Right now, I am walking in the mortal world, just refining my heart. Good and bad are arbitrary, and good and evil are according to my heart."
Lily gently shook her head, seemingly somewhat helpless, and then released her magic again, covering their bodies with plants. After that, they were teleported by vines once more.
It took several attempts before it finally stopped.
"We've arrived," Lily stopped in front of a luxurious villa. "This is where the people in power in Dachang City reside."
"They're really far away. It seems the people in power in Dachang City are afraid of us." Luo Xi smiled.
Once again, using the lily vines to teleport, this time they appeared directly in front of a middle-aged man, Fang Wei, the powerful figure in Dachang City.
Fang Wei said calmly, "You've arrived? Let's make our move."
Luo Xi smiled, released her magic, and activated her consciousness interference. After a moment's thought, she laughed, "So your family and assets have all been transferred overseas."
"You have a wife and a daughter who is only twelve years old. You love them very much..." Luo Xi's tone was gentle, but the air suddenly froze.
"Come at me if you have a problem! Don't touch my family!" Fang Wei suddenly stood up, his face ashen.
"I won't lay a hand on them," Luo Xi said calmly. "I just want to know why they aren't strictly following my orders and are instead resorting to underhanded tactics."
In her mind, she had already sensed that he was not the mastermind behind the protests and disturbances.
"The various forces are deeply entrenched, and their interests are too intertwined," Fang Wei slumped back onto the sofa, a bitter smile on his face. "If we fully implement your orders, they will not let my family off the hook once their interests are harmed."
"Oh?" Luo Xi smiled.
So that's how it is. If the people in power in Dachang City don't follow her orders, at most she'll kill them.
However, if her orders are strictly enforced, then the family members of this person in power might inexplicably suffer accidents or other mishaps.
"Lily, your magical properties should be the same as Rose's, right?" Turning to look at Lily, her gaze deepened. "Using my perception of destiny, I want to know who is obstructing my decree!"
