Chapter 7, Good deeds bring good rewards

Feng Bingwen watched this scene with great anticipation, but when the slightly yellowed white flame burned out completely, the heavenly book remained the same as before, without any changes

Chirp chirp

The child could not help but laugh; the broken branch was not large, only the size of a palm. The leaves remaining on it were still fresh and dripping, appearing to have been recently broken. The fruits hanging on it were even smaller, the size of a fingernail, bright red and shiny, looking quite tempting

Although spring has already arrived, it is currently the time of day and night alternation. The spring breeze blowing in from the window still carries a hint of winter's chill. Therefore, the child murmured softly and prepared to turn over and continue sleeping

Feng Bingwen praised, at that time releasing the sparrow was merely a spontaneous act, he did not seek any reward, yet now the little sparrow has brought a bunch of fruits, which indeed brings joy to people

Soon, a nearly imperceptible sound of gentle breathing emerged in the room, as the child drifted into slumber

What is this thing

One hundred, after all these years of saving, what is the use? Good deeds are rewarded, where is my reward?

When Feng Bingwen had once again settled his mind and entered a state of concentration, he looked at the heavenly book to confirm its accuracy. Upon seeing the heavenly book, he noticed that beneath his name, the merit that had originally reached one hundred had now returned to zero, dissipated into nothingness. Only the record of his misdeeds remained, and there was a stark "1" glaringly displayed beneath it, seemingly mocking his actions over the years

Eh?

However, he is not an ordinary child. Although he harbors resentment in his heart, he quickly expresses and alleviates it, then lies down again to sleep. There is no need to disrupt his sleep schedule over such trivial matters, as it is not worth the loss.

In the moment of his hesitation, a purple glow once again fell before the window, but it was the bird that had already flown away returning. It looked at Feng Bingwen, who was lost in thought while holding the fruit, yet did not eat it, and let out a series of urgent calls, seemingly a bit annoyed

Even upon seeing the bird adopt a urging posture, Feng Bingwen remained unmoved. However, upon observing the child’s cautious demeanor, the purple-tailed sparrow became irritated, flapping its small wings and leaping onto Feng Bingwen's hand. Before he could react, the little head pecked down and snatched a small fruit.

Chirp chirp

Oh, no, that's not right. It's not that there has been no change; the original "one hundred" after the good deeds has already turned into "zero." At this moment, all the good deeds accumulated by Feng Bingwen over the years have completely vanished

Feng Bingwen's mind was in a daze, and his previously restrained consciousness swayed for a moment, causing the heavenly book to vanish completely

In the midst of his delight, he casually picked up an unknown wild fruit from the windowsill. Although it looked quite appetizing, he would not easily bring such an unfamiliar fruit to his lips.

Upon noticing the anomaly, the child raised the fruit close to his eyes for a careful examination. Indeed, he discovered another peculiarity. In the dawn before the sun had risen in the east and the night had not yet receded, the dim light of the night revealed to him about ten pieces of fruit, which surprisingly were covered with a faint layer of red light

In the early morning, before the sun had yet streamed into the room through the window, a series of clear, bell-like bird songs reached the ears. A child stirred slightly in the bedding, and the next moment, suddenly opened their eyes wide, looking towards the window.

Are you playing with me

Spirit Bird! Spirit Bird!

In this scenario, Feng Bingwen immediately relaxed, watching as the bird, which seemed to have undergone some changes, flapped its wings and flew up, landing on the windowsill. With a smile, he reached out and picked a red fruit, placing it in his mouth

Feng Bingwen furrowed his brow, realizing that the situation was somewhat complicated. The moment he took hold of the bunch of fruit, he sensed something was amiss, as the fruit was warm, lacking the coolness that fruit should possess

Splash

What does this count as

Eh?

The radiance emanating from the celestial book appeared bright and magnificent to Feng Bingwen, dazzling and resplendent; however, at that moment, when the "100" after the good deed began to glow, he found it unexpectedly blinding

On the window sill, a bird with a tail shimmering in brilliant purple light was singing. Upon seeing the child awaken, it let out a joyful chirp, spread its small wings, and with a gentle flutter, transformed into a stream of purple light, vanishing into the dim dawn sky

After calming one's thoughts and settling down, upon the third confirmation, it was found that the merits recorded in the heavenly book had been reset to zero, leaving nothing behind

"If even a couple of wild ghosts can bully me, what kind of good retribution is this"

Feng Bingwen watched helplessly as the bird in his hand quickly consumed a fruit, swallowing it whole. He then noticed a faint purple light shimmering on the bird's vibrant tail feathers; although weak, it was exceptionally eye-catching

What is this trying to do

Feng Bingwen's mindset exploded, and he couldn't even sleep; he simply turned over and sat up in bed. He looked left and right, yet he found no changes in himself.

Still shining

Wind Bingwen stared blankly as he watched the familiar bird fly away, somewhat taken aback and unable to react. What just happened? If he remembered correctly, that bird should be the purple-tailed sparrow he had released a few days ago

Feng Bingwen held the obviously abnormal fruit, and as if enlightened, he recalled the merits that had inexplicably vanished last night. With less than one night's interval, it was difficult for him not to connect these two events.

Although there were some speculations, Feng Bingwen did not dare to be certain. The origin of this fruit was too mysterious, and since he did not recognize it, even knowing that consuming it might bring benefits, he chose not to take the risk

Such a turn of events did not startle Feng Bingwen; rather, it brought him joy. This was the first time since he discovered the heavenly book that such an unexpected change had occurred.

The child's lips gently pressed together, and a faint warm current flowed from the mouth into the throat, then into the stomach. Subsequently, a wave of heat spread from the chest cavity throughout the body, enveloping the entire being in a warm and indescribably comfortable sensation

This is my good fortune

Indeed, it is the spirit sparrow

Looking at the good deeds that had already been totaled into an integer on the heavenly book, Feng Bingwen muttered discontentedly. He turned over in bed, recalling the events from several days ago, feeling somewhat indignant.

Although there was no substantial loss, he felt a surge of frustration within him. It was a sense of disappointment from unfulfilled expectations

The radiance of one hundred is a dazzling white, yet within the white, a hint of yellow gradually emerges. The brilliant light suddenly flickers and transforms into fireworks, beginning to burn.

However, a flash of red in the corner of his eye caught his attention. Feng Bingwen turned over and got out of bed, walking to the window where he saw a broken branch with a cluster of more than ten red fruits placed on the windowsill.

Is this gratitude

Accompanied by the sound of a book being turned, in the consciousness of Feng Bingwen, the heavenly scripture, shining with billions of rays of light, suddenly radiated brilliance after the good deed, with the figure "100" appearing prominently.

The child muttered in dissatisfaction, feeling extremely uncomfortable
