Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Persisting in Foolishness _1
Hearing Yuan Lishu’s singing, Qin Sisi was taken aback at first and unconsciously stepped back, looking towards Ye You.
The moment she noticed Ye You’s reassuring glance, Qin Sisi immediately understood what he meant. She calmed down instantly and watched Yuan Lishu sing with all her might with a serene expression.
Yuan Lishu sang for a while, noticing that Qin Sisi calmly stood there, even having a subtle smile at the corner of her mouth, she couldn’t help but be astounded.
Regardless, she was not willing to admit defeat. Yuan Lishu tried hard to concentrate, making her singing more charming, like a lovely oriole singing melodiously amid tree shadows on a spring day.
Qin Sisi sighed inwardly. Such a golden voice, what a pity.
Yuan Lishu was knocked unconscious by Ye You’s magic and was then bound by the Vajra Bundling Spirit Rope for twenty-four hours. The Rope had an effect of suppressing Spiritual Power. Now, Yuan Lishu’s body had almost no Spiritual Power left. No matter how pleasing her singing was, it was just an ordinary song and wouldn’t hypnotize people anymore.
Unwilling to admit defeat, Yuan Lishu sang relentlessly. However, singing requires energy, and during a high-pitched part, she didn’t have enough breath to support, choked on the note, and began to cough, clutching her chest.
Seeing the calmly standing Qin Sisi not far away, a deep panic arose in Yuan Lishu’s heart. Is this how it ends?
During life, one dies in misery; and should being a ghost also be as powerless and pathetic?
Suddenly, Yuan Lishu turned and raced towards the window, intending to escape by passing through the glass with her ghostly virtual body.
Ye You’s gaze grew stern as he swiftly raised his claw, a white light shot towards the glass window, forming a Shadowless barrier as solid as a copper wall and iron barrier.
Unaware of this, Yuan Lishu smashed into it with great speed. With a "bang", she was hurled back fiercely, falling weakly to the ground, her face expressing disbelief.
The barrier was just an ordinary glass window; why couldn’t she pass through?
Qin Sisi stepped forward and said indifferently, "If you hadn’t taken any lives, I might have considered sparing you. But now, it’s too late."
Yuan Lishu lifted her head; her pretty face was in a sorry state. She finally understood that she was indeed no match for Qin Sisi, yet she still couldn’t accept it.
She glared at Qin Sisi furiously, gritting her teeth and saying, "Brother Hei Shan will not let you off. You will not die a good death!"
Anger flashed through Ye You’s eyes. He couldn’t tolerate this woman repeatedly disrespecting Qin Sisi.
Ye You’s claw slowly rose, the magic power gradually gathering in his palm. After a few seconds, Ye You fiercely swung his claw towards Yuan Lishu. A cold, white light enveloped her.
Yuan Lishu struggled for a while before passing out. Her figure gradually began to fade and finally transformed into a wisp of starlit silver light. Under Ye You’s control, it flew into his palm and then vanished.
Qin Sisi frowned slightly; this scene seemed familiar. It should have appeared when the evil spirit Da Hu Zi in the Blue and White Porcelain was ultimately defeated.
After a bit of thought, Qin Sisi asked Ye You, "Did you take her soul?"
Ye You responded indifferently, "She was stubborn and brought destruction upon herself. It would be a disaster if set free, and it’s useless to keep it. The only thing left to do is to use it for Alchemy."
The soul pill that was previously created from Da Hu Zi’s spirit was given to Qin Sisi as a birthday gift by Ye You, causing the color of Qin Sisi’s Magic Source to change from white to light yellow.
Qin Sisi then asked, "Was it made into a Soul Pill this time too?"
Ye You looked at her warmly and replied, "Of course, it was made into a Soul Pill to give to you. Although her Spiritual Power was weak and the effect would certainly not be as great as before, it’s better than nothing."
Qin Sisi nodded. Even a little is better than none at all.
However, thinking about the talented and beautiful Yuan Lishu disappearing forever left Qin Sisi somewhat uneasy. Although she wanted Yuan Lishu’s Soul Power, she also hoped that Yuan Lishu could let go of her past and be reincarnated to have a new life.
Like many ghosts in the past, maybe they need to pay for their past mistakes, but after the ordeal, the cloud will disperse and the fog lift.
However, everyone has their own ambitions, Yuan Lishu’s ambition was excessively cruel and mad.
Qin Sisi had personally experienced the brutal violence of the evil spirit Da Hu Zi and naturally would not allow Yuan Lishu to wreak havoc on humans.
However, mentioning Hei Shan, the brother mentioned by Yuan Lishu, Qin Sisi had some apprehensions in her heart and couldn’t help asking Ye You, "Will this Brother Hei Shan really come to seek revenge?"
Ye You responded coolly, "He will come if he comes, he won’t if he doesn’t. It’s not worth worrying about."
Qin Sisi thought for a moment and said, "I think we should go back to the University of Science and Technology to check."
Ye You responded, "We can, but for now, we have to take care of Zhu Zihao’s matter first."
Qin Sisi nodded, Zhu Zihao was still recuperating in Ye You’s Portable Space. They needed to help him deal with the Spiritual Artifact around Gu Liang as soon as possible. Although it wasn’t difficult, it required to be done discreetly, making it a minor nuisance.
Qin Sisi checked the time on her phone. It was two in the morning, a new day had begun.
She looked up at Ye You, "Can we use the Invisible Bubble now?"
Ye You hesitated for a moment before replying, "We can."
"Then let’s go to Gu Liang’s company now." As she spoke, Qin Sisi took out the warm, black windbreaker to put on.
Ye You glanced at her, then said caringly, "Sisi, you don’t have to work so hard. We can go tomorrow night."
Understanding Ye You’s concern, Qin Sisi spoke cheerfully, "It’s okay, I’m not tired, let’s finish this matter first, then we can come back and rest, okay?"
Looking into Qin Sisi’s radiant eyes, Ye You sighed silently and gave a slight nod.
Qin Sisi beamed a smile. As she was going to put away her phone, it dinged, signaling an incoming text.
Qin Sisi looked at her phone; it was a multimedia message from Ning Hao. After opening it, it turned out to be a photo of a man in his thirties with glasses; an average looking man without any distinct features.
Even though she didn’t recognize the man, Qin Sisi guessed who he might be.
Immediately after, there was another ding, this time a text message. In the text, Ning Hao wrote, "This is a picture of Gu Liang."
Qin Sisi felt grateful in her heart and messaged Ning Hao, "Thank you."
Ning Hao didn’t reply.
Qin Sisi showed Gu Liang’s picture to Ye You. His profound gaze scanned the photo, silently memorizing the man’s features.
