Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 34:

Chapter 34: A Match Made Under Heaven’s Thunder

Seeing Luo Ningshuang suddenly change her expression and slow down her pace in shaping the pills, Uncle Meng couldn’t help but ask, “Young Madam, is something troubling you?”

Only then did Luo Ningshuang come back to her senses and quickly finished shaping the remaining pills. “I was just reminded of my time at Jixia Academy… and suddenly realized I have something in common with Su Ming.” As she spoke, she handed the Qi Condensation Pills in her hands to Uncle Meng.

“It’s always good for young people to communicate more. It’s just a pity that the Young Master is currently in seclusion. Once he returns from the Trinity Secret Realm, you should seize the opportunity.” As Uncle Meng said this, he kept winking at Luo Ningshuang, completely shedding the dignified demeanor of an elder.

Realizing his hint, Luo Ningshuang blushed and said, “Just call me by my name. I don’t deserve to be called Young Madam yet…” But the moment she recalled what Empress Yao Chi had said, her expression instantly turned cold.

Seeing how fast she changed her face, Uncle Meng was a bit confused. He could only sigh internally about how hard it was to guess a young person’s thoughts before turning to handle the batch of Qi Condensation Pills.

After Uncle Meng left, Luo Ningshuang shut down the [Profound Yang Flame Cauldron] and returned to her room. “Empress Yao Chi, answer me. Why must I leave Su Ming’s side? Why am I destined to become his enemy?”

“Because Su Ming is not your destined Dao companion. You are meant to be with someone else. Your fate has already been intertwined with another.”

“You mean you can see my destiny? My future?”

“Not see. Sense. Though I only have a remnant soul left, I still retain the ability to sense destiny. As my remnant soul recovers, this perception becomes clearer.”

“So you’re saying that because of this so-called destiny, I have to become Dao companions with someone I’ve never even met? And I can’t change that?”

Luo Ningshuang’s voice was now filled with obvious anger. She disliked this kind of arrangement deeply.

“Yes. Destiny cannot be defied…”

“That’s nonsense!” Luo Ningshuang shouted without regard for her image, “My fate is mine to decide. My future is in my own hands! From now on, if destiny tells me to go east, I’ll go west. If it says I’m destined to be with someone else and become Su Ming’s enemy, then I’ll do the opposite! Even if I die, I will never obey that vague and ridiculous destiny!”

Hearing her resolute voice, Empress Yao Chi fell silent. Luo Ningshuang’s words reminded her of someone. Her remnant soul had not yet recovered, so she couldn’t remember that person’s name or appearance—only that he too had despised destiny and had fought against it his entire life.

“Fighting against destiny will not end well…”

“Is that so? Then that suits me perfectly.” Luo Ningshuang sneered. “You said I’ll become Su Ming’s enemy because of destiny?”

“No. His very existence is a rejection of destiny. Anyone closely connected to destiny will inevitably be guided into conflict with him.”

“Is that so? Then that’s perfect…” Luo Ningshuang smiled slightly as if she had made up her mind.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a malice press down on her. Thunder boomed in her ears, as if accusing her of her rebellion. Sensing it all, the smile on her face grew even deeper.

She refused to accept the arrangements of destiny, while Su Ming was born as a rejection of it. “It seems I’m truly the most suitable person to be Su Family’s Young Madam.”

The thunder in her ears grew louder and louder. The innate Dao Mark on her forehead began to flicker, and her thoughts began to blur. Hallucinations emerged before her eyes. She saw a completely unfamiliar man standing beside her, with Su Ming standing opposite them.

“I’m his enemy…” This thought surfaced in Luo Ningshuang’s mind but was immediately denied. That was the future destiny wanted her to see—but not the one she wanted.

She reached for the innate Dao Mark on her forehead, seemingly trying to tear it off. If this mark was something destiny forced upon her, then she would rather strip it away.

She dug so hard that bloody marks appeared on her forehead, blurring the imprint of the Dao Mark. But this mark was something born with her soul. What appeared on her forehead was only a trace—destroying it didn’t mean the Dao Mark itself was gone.

Just then, someone grasped her hand. “Destroying yourself like this isn’t the best way to resist it,” Su Ming’s voice sounded beside her ear.

Su Ming, who had been cultivating, suddenly received a system notification.

[Luon Ningshuang has developed favorable feelings toward the host and has accepted her identity as the host’s fiancée. Gained Destiny Points.]
[Luo Ningshuang has become aware of the existence of destiny and has awakened a rebellious will. Gained Destiny Points.]
[Destiny has begun interfering with Luo Ningshuang, attempting to alter her thoughts. Will the host consume Destiny Points to stop it?]

Most of the world’s fate had gathered around Luo Ningshuang and Chu Fan, which meant destiny could affect them the most. When a core opportunity was taken, destiny immediately replaced it with another. As soon as one rebelled, destiny tried to reverse their thinking.

Su Ming had every reason to believe that all those ridiculous scenes of Luo Ningshuang becoming infatuated with Chu Fan in the original story were caused by destiny’s manipulation.

[As Luo Ningshuang has become aware of destiny and intends to resist, a permanent block can be placed to stop destiny from interfering with her. This requires consuming 250,000 Destiny Points.]

Su Ming looked at his remaining Destiny Points—just over 280,000. Using them would be like going straight back to square one. But Su Ming knew that if he didn’t act, he would have to watch as destiny created irreversible consequences.

“My fiancée isn’t someone you get to manipulate!” Su Ming said, “System, teach this destiny a lesson!”

[Host, please go to Luo Ningshuang’s side and release the Half-Step Void Realm Combat Puppet.]

That was how Su Ming came to Luo Ningshuang’s room and stopped her from further self-harm.

“Luo Ningshuang, are you willing to fight against our so-called predestined fate together with me?”

Facing his question, Luo Ningshuang opened her eyes wide. She cleared away all the illusions until Su Ming’s face reflected in her gaze. Then she answered firmly, “I’m willing!”

The moment she spoke those three words, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky right above their heads. They truly were, in every sense, a match made under Heaven’s thunder.
