“Li Mu can see them too?” He Xiaoyu asked.
“He should be able to very soon. He's my husband and will take over our family business afterward. He will get to see them often.”
“What exactly kind of business is your family doing?”
“I can't tell you that. And you shouldn't care about it too. Ignorance is bliss!”
“Alright. I won't ask anymore!”
Both of them went silent after that. Lin Wan put her pillow against the bedframe and got up to the bed, lying on the pillow. She closed her eyes and contemplated something quietly.
He Xiaoyu kept staring at her and wanted to talk to her. Lin Wan furrowed her brows and said calmly, “Let it out if there is something you want to say. If not, go back to your room now. I want to rest!”
“Alright. I want to ask you whether the bet we made is still valid.”
“What will you do if I say it's no more valid?”
Lin Wan did not open her eyes
After saying that, He Xiaoyu stared at Lin Wan and tried to look as relaxed as possible as if no one had been on the bed. Lin Wan chuckled and took up her phone to look at it. He Xiaoyu looked very relaxed still while staring at her as if nothing had been there.Ten seconds were fleetingly short. To He Xiaoyu, it was not a problem at all. When she thought she could pass the test, suddenly Lin Wan’s face appeared in front of her with her eyes staring straight at her. He Xiaoyu screamed and almost flipped because of the shock. Lin Wan quickly got hold of the chair and said, “Do you still want to keep it?”“Since when did you come over here? Are you a human or a ghost?”“I'll beat you up if you talk nonsense again. Of course, I'm a human. I was here for quite a while already. But I have used a deceptive trick to make you think that I was still on the bed!”He Xiaoyu held her chest and w
“I guess I have understood a little. I'll need some time to digest what you said. It's difficult for me to accept it in just a short while.” He Xiaoyu admitted honestly.“You'll be able to accept it if you become one of us. There are many weirder things in the world than this. You will find this a small thing after experiencing the rest of them.”“Why did they commit suicide?”This was the question that He Xiaoyu wanted to know the most. She felt that it was rather strange for the middle-aged man and woman to kill themselves. She suspected that Lin Wan had done something secretly to them.Lin Wan did not hide the truth from her and answered as it was, “They were backlashed by the spells and did not have any power to defend themselves anymore. Also, they did not want to be controlled by me. So they decided to kill themselves!”“Ah, I see. So you wanted to control them. I get it now. You wanted to ask them whether
“Lin Wan, are you thinking of ruining their plan?”“Yeah. What do you think if we launch an attack and destroy Shen Xingyue's longevity tablet so that they can't increase her lifespan?”“It's not a good idea. I don't suggest you do that!” Mrs. Hong rejected Lin Wan's proposal.Lin Wan did not seem happy about it. Apparently, she was not satisfied with her answer.“Lin Wan, I've thought about that before but I felt that it was not a good idea. Think about it. The way the Shen Family works is strange and immoral. What if they kill Li Mu after we kill their girl?”“If she gets to increase her lifespan, then...”Lin Wan did not finish her line. But everyone knew what she was about to say. Li Mu and Shen Xingyue were each other's first love. And now they got to be together again. If Shen Xingyue was not going to die, it might rekindle their relationship. Then, what about Lin Wan?Mrs. Hong d
Their hair had become normal again. Though it grew longer, the growth speed was almost ordinary. Who would have thought that these two beautiful young girls would be the female ghosts a few nights ago? Li Mu was contemplating on what to say. Casually, he asked, “I think I've not asked you before. Have both of you studied in a school before?”“No!” Shen Zixing answered immediately. “We practiced cultivation with Master since we were little. We had never studied in a school before!”“I see. Then, what are you going to do afterwards? You have to study when you're young. Girls at your age should be studying in class now, not following me whenever I go.”“Why do we need to study? We don't need that. We just got to master the martial arts skills!” Shen Zixing replied with a smile. “Who told you these?”“My Master!”“I guess so!”“Brother, have you studied in a school before?” Shen Min
Third uncle and his people had finally come to them with a group of experienced fighters. After meeting with Lin Wan and the rest, a few leaders started to plan how to bring Li Mu out of the Shen Family’s hands. Mrs. Hong described the situation to them. A stocky middle-aged man said, “Fifth Brother, what do you think?”“The Shen Family. I've never heard about this clan. If they are cultivators, no matter how ancient their clan is, there is no way we have not heard of them. This matter is a little weird.”“Humph, what a Shen Family! Can't you recall anything?”Fifth uncle looked at his brother perplexedly because he could not understand why he said that. However, he knew that his brother had recalled something and he asked him the question to test him. The Shen Family...Suddenly, Fifth uncle's eyes widely opened. He patted on his thigh fiercely, “This Shen Family. D*mn it! I know of a family with
Li Mu found an aging motorbike in Fourth grandfather's home yard. Looking at its design and condition, it seemed to be an antique that was older than himself. He didn’t dare to ask anyone about it. So he got his information from the girls. Shen Zixing told him that it was Fourth grandfather's treasured item when he was young. Though it looked old, Fourth grandfather took good care of it and it was still functioning well. Li Mu did not expect the old man was so trendy when he was young. He found it funny and started to plan in his mind. He told the girls about his plan and delegated them tasks to do. Shen Zixing might look innocent, but she was good at discerning what to do and what not to do. She rejected his idea instantly. Li Mu panicked and started to coax and threaten them. The girls were mentally controlled by him and they agreed to help him even though it was against their will. One night, the east si
Outside Shen village, Shen Zixing and Shen Ming’er successfully sneaked out. Both of them were carrying a bulging big bag with something inside. “Sister, are we really going to find him?” Shen Ming’er asked.“Yeah. I know where he is. Not too far from here, he is trapped in a steel container. We have to get him out or he’ll be starving to death.” “Why don’t you inform our people to hunt him down?”“Are you dumb? We were the ones who let him off. Shame on us if someone else get him back instead. We have to catch him by ourselves to make up for our mistake. Do you get it?”“I understand now. Let’s get him now!”Li Mu woke up gradually and tried to get up. But he was still dizzy and could not remember anything.These days, his mental status was in high tension. He hid himself among the freight after sneaking into the train. He finally loosened up when the train started moving and fell in
“So!” Shen Zixing was speechless. Since they were both young and lack of life experiences, they were not sure about what to do in this complicated case.The Shen sisters were kind-hearted. They both agreed that life prolongation by stealing someone else’s life was not right. But they were too young to speak up in front of the elderly. After Li Mu’s word, they became more frustrated now. “I knew that both of you have the ability to hunt me down and bring me back to your village, as long as you want to. I won’t able to do anything about it. Even though I’m a big guy from the outside, I’m just like a tiny chick in front of you girls.”“Brother Mu!”“Calm down. Listen up. To be honest, I, Li Mu, am very consistent with my decision. I’d rather die than do something I hate, such as accepting a woman who uses sorcery to prolong her life. I can’t take this. At least for now, I can’t. If you girls force me to do so, I’d die and that’ll be
