I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 2: A Very Lucky Eunuch

Chapter 2: A Very Lucky Eunuch

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Tian climbed out of his bed and shouted, “Uncle Gui! I need a bath right now! I’m going to take a walk!”
“Your Highness, I’ll get the bath ready.”
Eunuch Gui was excited about it too. The prince had been bedridden for the entire month, and he had been feeling sorry for him.
In the past, the 13th Prince would be very emotional whenever he had suffered Qi Deviation.
As soon as he would recover a little bit of his vitality, he would get out of bed and look for other techniques to continue trying to cultivate.
This time, the 13th Prince—no, Shen Tian—had stayed in bed and behaved himself, so Eunuch Gui had initially been very pleased.
The 13th Prince has finally learned to cherish his body. Concubine Lan can finally rest in peace.
Gradually, Eunuch Gui realized it was not that simple.
Your Highness is way too careful!
Resting in bed and not moving around is indeed a good thing.
But he hasn’t left the bed at all? Not even for going to the toilet?
What’s wrong with him? Does he have roots attached to the bed now?
For a whole month, Shen Tian had suddenly become extremely cautious. It was simply too abnormal.
If Shen Tian had not finally decided to take a bath and go out, Eunuch Gui would have planned to invite the imperial doctor over. He had been suspecting that this time’s Qi Deviation may have injured the 13th Prince’s brain.
...
Soon, Shen Tian cleaned himself and donned on his clothes. He tied up his hair in a bun and wore his embroidered white python robe and golden boots.
Shen Tian was dazed by his reflection in the mirror—his looks were breathtaking and prepossessing!
If he were still in the 21st century, he could at least work 20 years less!
Correction, 200 years less!
The only issue was that the mass above his head was as dark as ever.
His fair face was darkened by a few degrees due to the halo.
I really need to find a way to get rid of this black circle, thought Shen Tian. Any color would be better than this curse-looking black!
...
While he was still pondering over his issues, Shen Tian finally left Lem’s Palace.
When Shen Tian was walking in the palace, no one dared to go near him within a 10-meter radius. Even the eunuchs and palace maids ran away on the sight of the 13th Prince.
Shen Tian was unhappy with these reactions.
How did this guy manage to survive the past 16 years?
Shen Tian started to sympathize with the 13th Prince. A few minutes had passed since he had left Lem’s Palace, and he already felt suffocated by the way everyone looked at him. How had the 13th Prince been enduring this for 16 whole years!?
In the end, instead of giving up on himself, the prince had continued to fight against his fate to the day he died. At the same time, there had been no sign of him going over to the dark side.
He had been very similar to the anime character Naruto!
...
While walking around in the palace, Shen Tian noticed that others had halos on top of their heads too.
Most eunuchs and palace maids had a white-colored halo, giving off a weak glow. It looked ordinary, and probably nothing exceptionally good would ever happen to them.
The glow of the eunuchs and palace maids with slightly higher imperial statuses was slightly brighter. For eunuchs that had received a title, such as Head of Cooking, Head of Clothing, and Head of Stable, their halos were slightly green in color. Just like Eunuch Gui, it was a lively color.
So black means bad luck, white means commoners, and green means good luck?
What kind of setting is this?
Green for four-leaf clover?
The color setting rendered Shen Tian speechless.
It sucks.
...
Suddenly, Shen Tian spotted a very peculiar fellow.
It was a very common young eunuch. His clothes indicated that he was just a handyman eunuch, the lowest imperial status of all. He looked pale, pathetic, and hopeless.
However, what made Shen Tian unhappy was that the halo on top of this young eunuch’s head was actually not black, white, or green.
It was red! Its bright rays sparked all around like a mini sun.
In Shen Tian’s eyes, everything in the world would center around this young eunuch.
Compared to him, Shen Tian’s black halo was hideous, even though his face was stunning.
Why would a low-ranking eunuch have such a flaunting halo!?
Could he be blessed by providence?
Shen Tian’s stare made goosebumps rise on the young eunuch’s skin.
Although he was relatively new here, he had heard some bad rumors about the prince.
The 13th Prince is said to be the most unlucky person in the Country of Fire. It’s advised to stay away from him as much as possible. Or there might be grave danger!
“Good morning, Your Highness.” The eunuch quickly greeted Shen Tian and tried to excuse himself.
However, Shen Tian did not allow him to escape.
“You! Come here.”
Upon hearing that, the eunuch was very scared.
Seriously?
The 13th Prince asked me to go over?
Help!
I’m just an ordinary eunuch. What have I done?
I heard that the prince’s bad luck is contagious in a 10-meter radius.
People will start to ostracise me, and my life will be in danger.
I will be dead if I go too near!
But if I do not comply, maybe I will die faster?
Either way, I’m dead...
The young eunuch was at the brink of tears.
