Chapter 121: I'll Commit It to Memory
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This question completely caught Tang Li off guard. She thought that he was
here to get even with her, so she giggled and said, "Do you also remember it's
you who asked me to take advantage of you?"
"When you come back. I will settle the score with you."
Hearing that from a domineering CEO, Tang Li couldn't help but get excited.
At this moment, Qi Yihan suddenly extended his hand towards her.
Lost in thought, Tang Li forgot to dodge. When she realized it, the hand was on
the left side of her head. Then. he removed a flower petal that got stuck into
her hair earlier.
Then Qi Yihan said, "If you can get rid of that mountain, I'll think of a way to
make the govermment continue their original plan to build an airport there."
Tang Li was shocked by the confidence with which he said it and how capable
he was in this book.
"Alright, it's settled then."
Tang Li smiled at him before the two of them wallked toward the villa.
When she was near the entrance of the villa, she saw the other three masters
standing on the road between the two villas, talking
When First Master saw' Tang Li and Qj Yihan walking over, he raised his voice
and said in a sarcastic tone, "As expected, it's wiser to rely on oneself than on
others. Nowadays, you can't expect your brother to help you because they'll just
watch you die. I'm so unlucky to have such a brother."
Qi vihan did not respond at all.
Tang Li looked at him and stopped.
The moment she stopped, Qj Yihan stopped as well.
When First Master saw Tang Li stop, he was reminded of her ability to jinx His
heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shouted, "Tang Li, dare you try jinxing me
again
Seeing his reaction, Tang Li suddenly grinned and said coldly, "With what l am
capable of, do you think I'm afraid of you?
First Master immediately blushed, obviously afraid that she would say
something bad again.
Tang Li continued, "I am not here to jinx you today. I am here to start a
quarrel."
With that, she walked up to him
The closer Tang Li was to First Master, the more scared he became.
First Master's expression darkened even more.
"You said you are unlucky to have a brother like Yihan. I think it should be the
other way around. You guys"
At this point, Tang Li suddenly stopped and gave the three of them a sweeping
glance.
This glance made Second Master and Third Master's hearts skip a beat.
The two of them instantly became vigilant.
Tang Li said, "It should be Yihan who is unlucky to have you three as brothers
who are not only incapable but also greedy and selfish, only thinking about
themselves. If you don't think he deserves to be one of the Qis, then talk to
your father about it and see what he will say to you."
"You're always doing cheap tricks in private to disgust people. If you wanna
prove yourself, then focus on your job instead of scheming against Yihan all
the time."
"He works hard all day to make the Qj family rich, and at the same time, he has
to be wary of you guys stabbing him in the back. If it were anyone else, they
would have made you all disappear"
When Tang Li started talking, the three middle-aged men wanted to trash talk
her together. As long as she didn't jinx them, they were confident that they
could shut her up. However, when they opened their mouths, they realized that
they could not make a sound.
When Tang Li finished speaking, she glanced at the three of them coldly before
fixing her gaze at First Master.
Being stared at, First Master broke out in cold sweat.
"First Brother, do you think I'm a saint or do you think Yihan is a saint? You
should already be grateful that I didn't take revenge on any of you. But I didn't
really expect you to come and ask me to save her. Don't you have any sense of
shame?"
"You
First Master suddenly found that he could speak. He was instantly furious and
lost his mind. He wanted to give Tang Li a slap.
Tang Li stood there without moving
The moment he flew his fist at her, a large hand extended from behind Tang Li
and grabbed his wrist.
The hand exerted force.
Second Master and Third Master, who suddenly came back to their senses,
subconsciously moved to the side.
For a moment, they admired their first brother for being so bold as to hit Tang
First Master seemed to have, due to his rage, forgotten that Tang Li had the
ability to jinx.
Looking at First Master, Tang Li sneered. "First Brother, hitting is not a go0od
thing, especially.. I'm not your junior. If you want to hit me, you have to ask
Father and Yihan if they agree."
At this moment, Qj Yihan let go of his hand and pushed him away forcefully.
First Master quickly retreated and fell to the ground.
Qi Yihan looked at First Master coldly and said, "If this happens again, I'l chop
your hand off."
First Master looked at Qi Yihan fīercely. He wanted to say how dare you, but
looking at that pair of murderous eyes on Qi Yihan's face, he froze.
Tang Li looked at First Master and said calmly, "First Brother, Ill commit to
remembering the fact that you hit me."
First Master's heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth and said with a livid
face, "No, I didn't. I missed it"
"Attempting to hit someone is the same as hitting them. Ill talk to your father
later. He said if anyone dares to bully me, I can tell him about it"
She held Qi Yihan's hand and turned to leave. As she walked, she said, "You are
not gonna have a good time."
After the two of them left, Second Master and Third Master hastened to help
First Master up. At this point, Qi Lingxuan also came out.
Father, are you hurt
First Master said with trembling lips, "I never thought of hitting her. She must
have jinxed me to hit her so that she could complain to Father."
Qi Lingxuan, who was holding him, said, "Father, since First Madam has
recovered, why don't we just get back home?
Second Master and Third Master, who had taken the medicine Qi Lingxuan
brought back, agreed. "Lingxuan, the medicine you brought back is really
effective. It has only been a few hours, but I feel like I am completely
recovered. It is indeeda panacea. Let's go back then."
They were all eager to get back home because they weren't sure if Tang Li
would jinx them again.
They felt that with Tang Li's medical skills, it was impossible for her to cure
the old man. At most, she could keep him alive for two more months. During
these two months, they could find out who was secretly harming the Q
Corporation and figure out a way to deal with Qi Yihan.
Qi Lingxuan lowered his head and the corner of his lips curled up.
First Master also felt that he shouldn't stay in the hospital anymore.
The few of them agreed immediately and packed up before leaving the hospital.
Back in the villa, Qi Yihan asked Tang Li, "Did they also take the medicine that
Lingxuan brought back?
"Yes, the medicine they took is fine, but the medicine First Madam took isn't"
Chapter 122: The Male Lead Appears To Steal Tang Li's
Things
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qi Yihan thought the same. After all, Qi Lingxuan knew who killed his granny,
and the first person to die was definitely the murderer.
But one thing confused Qi Yiahan. He asked, "Is the medicine he brought back
really that effective?"
If that kind of medicine could really cure injured people quickly, he wanted to
get one to let his people study it.
"Definitely not," Tang Li said. "Although I didn't see the medicine Qi Lingxuan
brought back with my own eyes, I observed the expressions of the three
brothers. I don't know if you've noticed, but the skin on their faces is
abnormally red."
"Isn't it because they were angry.
Tang Li burst out laughing when she heard Qi Yihan's question.
"It's not because of anger. The redness you get from being angry is different
from that. The redness on their faces is a little purple, which proves that
they've taken a very stimulating drug. This drug indeed takes effect very
quickly, but it's very harmful to the body, especially the skin. In at most half a
year, they will develop skin disease."
At this point, Tang Li promised him, "If you want a medicine that repairs an
injured body quickly, I can make you one."
When he gave her that island, she would grow a large number of medicinal
herbs. Since she had time now, she would look for large amounts of objects
containing spiritual energy. When the medicinal herbs were surrounded by
spiritual energy and became spiritual plants, even if she did not use mystic
techniques, the medicines would be dozens or even a hundred times more
effective than the medicines in the outside world.
Qi Yihan nodded and said, "When you make it, you can sell it to me."
Tang Li nodded happily. "Sure."
The two of them quickly walked into the villa.
It was only five in the afternoon. Tang Li promised Butler Yang that she would
make a bottle of healing medicine for him. After dinner, she went to the
storeroom.
Before Tang Li went to the storeroom, she called Doctor Xiang.
When she arrived, someone was already waiting there to open the door for her.
Other than the person, Mr. Yun was also there.
When Mr. Yun saw Tang Li, he smiled and said, "Miss Tang, I heard that you
want to make medicine. You don't mind me learning something from you, do
Tang Li smiled as well. "I don't mind."
The two of them followed the person with the key.
After Tang Li went in, she made a list of essential herbs and Mr. Yun went to
help her get the herbs.
Mr. Yun took the list and looked at it again and again. "Is this medicine for
treating wounds?"
"Right."
"These herbs…
The two of them discussed as Mr. Yun was looking for the herbs. When Tang Li
finished making the medicine, it was already past ten pm.
When Tang Li walked out of the storeroom, she suddenly remembered that she
had to release the ghosts. "Mr. Yun, I'll have to go somewhere else."
Mr. Yun did not ask what Tang Li wanted to do and said, "Don't stay up, it's not
good for you."
Tang Li nodded. "Noted."
Mr. Yun went back to his place first.
After Mr. Yun left, Tang Li turned around and walked toward the mortuary.
The night was deep and silent. Tang Li used the talisman to avoid all the
surveillance cameras and quickly arrived at the wall beside the hospital's
mortuary.
Normally, there weren't many people here, but tonight, there was a car parked
by the entrance of the mortuary and someone was walking around. It was
obvious that someone died tonight and was being transported to the mortuary.
Tang Li was not afraid of dead bodies, and she did not want to go over to watch
the show. She looked at the wall and quickly drew on it with her finger. Then,
she passed through the wall and left the hospital.
Behind the wall was the forest that led up to the mountain.
At that moment, the two little Kylins came out and flew happily beside Tang Li.
Tang Li said to them, "Go find a flat area in the mountain. Hurry up, I'm in a
hurry."
"Alright."
After the two little Kylins nodded, they flew forward.
Tang Li was also very fast. The rocky, thorny mountain path was like a flat
ground for her.
After she walked for a few kilometers, she suddenly heard an excited trembling
voice. "Oh my god, am I hallucinating? Did I see the ancient divine beast,
Kylin?"
Then, another voice sounded. "Come, let's go get them. Don't let them escape."
Then, there was a crackling sound.
Tang Li climbed up a tall rock and stood there, looking at the two people who
were grabbing the little Kylins.
There was no moonlight today, but from the fluorescent light emitted by the
two Kylins, she could see the two of them clearly.
They were a middle-aged man and a woman. The two of them were obviously
Taoists who could also cast spells.
The weapon in the man's hand was a huge hammer and the weapon in the
woman's hand was a sword. These two items were obviously not ordinary
items. There was spiritual energy in them, but they were not divine objects.
Tang Li rubbed her chin and mumbled, "Humph, stealing my Kylins. Just wait
and see.'
However, she was not in a hurry to jump out because the abilities of these two
people were not enough to compete with that of the Kylin's. Instead, they were
beaten until they cried out in pain.
When Tang Li felt that it was about time, she was about to jump out when
someone dashed out from the side. This person knocked out the two people in
a few moves and took their weapons. Then, the person looked at the two little
Kylins.
Tang Li frowned. She did not expect Qi Lingxuan to be here.
Qi Lingxuan looked at the two little Kylins while standing there still.
He was talking to the Artifact Spirit.
Qi Lingxuan asked, "Should we catch these two Kylins?"
Artifact Spirit, "Tang Li should be nearby."
Qi Lingxuan asked, "Are we still not her match?"
Artifact Spirit: "Yes."
Qi Lingxuan said, "How will we know if we don't try? We've absorbed so much
spiritual energy recently. Besides, we can take them away before Tang Li
arrives."
Artifact Spirit, "That makes sense. Let's give it a try."
Qi Lingxuan said, "Great."
Tang Li, "Good idea."
Turo voices appeared in Qi Lingxuan's mind at the same time.
Qi Lingxuan trembled.
At this point, Tang Li walked out of the bush.
Seeing her, Qi Lingxuan was immediately on his guard.
Tang Li looked at him and sneered. She suddenly raised her hand and made a
finger gun at him.
"Bang!" She made a sound and shot a bullet with her finger gun. Qi Lingxuan
thought that Tang Li was crazy, but in the next second, he suddenly covered
his chest. Even the Artifact Spirit in his mind screamed.
Qi Lingxuan almost fainted from the pain. His legs went weak and he knelt
there with a bang.
Then, he looked at Tang Li, who was standing opposite him, with fear.
He had never expected Tang Li to be this powerful.
Tang Li looked at him and asked, "Are you still going to steal my things?"
Qi Lingxuan clutched his shirt tightly. He was obviously indignant, but he had
no choice but to lower his head. "No, not anymore."
Tang Li glanced at him. "Get lost then."
Qi Lingxuan quickly stood up and limped away..
Chapter 123: I Have One Condition for Being Your Pillow
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With the help of the Artifact Spirit, Qi Lingxuan quickly walked out of the mountainous area and fainted on the road.
After a while, a girl riding a small electric motorbike came over. As it happened, the girl's electric motorbike ran out of battery when she reached Qi Lingxuan.
Xiang Wanwan got off the electric motorbike and was about to push the car back while mumbling to herself, "Luckily, I am close to home. Otherwise, it might take a whole night to get back home."
At this point, she casually glanced to the side and was shocked to see a man lying there.
Scared, she was about to run home to call the police when a large truck drove over from ahead. When she saw the man's face that was lit up by the headlight, Xiang Wanwan recognized who it was. She was first surprised then she parked the electric motorbike at the side and walked over.
After Qi Lingxuan left, Tang Li wandered around for a little longer before finding a plain area where she stopped.
"Alright, welll release the ghosts here."
With that, she took out the jade bottle containing the ghosts from a Taoist bag. As she drew a talisman on the jade bottle, she chanted the scripture.
Soon, a golden light surrounded her and all the ghosts came out of the jade bottle.
Some ghosts wanted to escape but were bounced back by the golden light.
Tang Li took out the Gugin.
suddenly, the surrounding was permeated with a powerful Spirit that made the two little Kylins fly around Tang Li in excitement.
Tang Li sat cross-legged and placed the Gugin down on her legs. Then, she started sweep-picking the Gugin.
The melodious sound of the Gugin could be heard, bringing with it an alluring charm.
The two little Kylins stood next to the golden light, guarding Tang Li and preventing anyone from disturbing her.
The ghosts also calmed down. Soon, rays of light were emitted from their bodies and they dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the song ended, all the ghosts were sent away to where they belonged.
Tang Li put away the Gugin and stood up.
The two little Kylins flew to her side.
Linlin said excitedly, "Master, the song you're playing is really nice. I feel like the strength in my body has increased again."
Tang Li rubbed their heads and said, "Go back to the jade. I am heading back."
"Alright."
Tang Li brushed the dust off her pants and quickly walked toward the hospital.
Five minutes after she left, two old men clad in robes arrived.
Because it was already pitch black at this point, their faces were unclear, but their voices could be heard.
"Wait, I clearly sensed a very powerful Spirit energy here. Was I wrong?"
"L feel it too. This is the first time I've felt such powerful spirit energy. I guess some ancient artifact must have appeared."
"Let's look around. If we can really get our hands on an ancient artifact, it'll be easier for us to guard the Gate of the Abyss this year."
"Yes, let's split up and look for it."
After saying that, the two of them quickly went in different directions.
When Tang Li returned to the hospital, the car at the mortuary had already left, and the mortuary returned to its dead silence.
Without looking, she quickly walked towards her villa.
Unexpectedly, just as she approached the villa, she saw two familiar figures standing there.
They were obviously waiting for her.
Tang Li walked out from the shadow.
'When Butler Zhang, who was standing beside Qi Yihan, saw Tang Li walking over, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly greeted her, "Madam, you're back."
Then, he glanced at Master, who looked cold and unapproachable, and turned around and walked in.
Tang Li walked up to Qi Yihan and asked, "Yihan, are you waiting for me?"
"Where have you been?" Qi Yihan's expression was cold.
Tang Li sensed that he was angry, so she whispered to him, "I went to release the ghosts."
After saying that, she leaned closer to him as if she was afraid that Butler Zhang would hear her and freak out. "I went to the north mountain."
When he heard her explanation, Qi Yihan softened his voice. "Are you cold?"
Tang Li wanted to say that she was not cold, but when she looked at the shirt he was wearing, she thought that if she said that she was cold, he would take off his only shirt for her to wear, so she nodded deliberately. "Yes."
But at the next moment, an arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Tl give you some of my warmth so you won't be cold."
Qi Yihan led her into the villa.
As Tang Li walked, she looked at him, who was looking ahead with a cool expression and chuckled.
After the two of them walked in, they went straight to the bedroom.
'When Tang Li came out of the shower, Qi Yihan was already lying on the bed.
Tang Li was about to take the sleeping bag when Qi Yihan said calmly, "You don't have to sleep in the bag tonight. I'll let you hug me."
Tang Li's eyes widened slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.
"He… Is he planning on doing something with me? Should I say no?" Tang Li thought to herself, getting more nervous with each second that passed.
Just as she was about to say something, Qi Yihan added, "There is one condition if you want me to be your pillow."
"Wh… what?"
"Keep in mind who you are."
Tang Li was dumbfounded.
"What am I?"
Qi Yihan, "You're my wife. You're not allowed to cheat on me."
Qi Yihan glanced at her and laid down. His tone became even colder. "If you don't agree, then forget it."
"Who said I didn't agree?"
To Tang Li, this condition could not be simpler. She walked around the bed and went to the other side of the bed to lie down. After hugging the bear doll that was as tall as a person, she said to him, "I agree, so I won't sleep in the sleeping bag tonight. If I hug you in the middle of the night, don't blame me
upon waking up."
"Yeah."
With that, Qi Yihan turned off the light.
This time he didn't even tum on the bedside lamp. They both closed their eyes.
After some time, Tang Li threw the bear doll aside and rolled toward Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan opened his arms to welcome her. After she hugged him, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Although hugging her made his body burn and he wanted nothing more than to do something to her, he was in no hurry. They had plenty of time in the future for their marriage. He planned to let her get used to hugging him to sleep at night.
It would be best if she could not sleep without hugging him..
Chapter 124: A Deep Bite Mark
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor:Henyee Translations
'Tang Li was woken up by the heat.
'When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was not only in Qi Yihan's arms but her entire body was also wrapped in the blanket.
No wonder she was so hot.
She felt even worse than being roasted in a furnace!
The more she tried to struggle out of the blanket, the tighter he hugged her.
He patted her back and threatened her with a sleepy voice, "If you move again, I will tie you up."
Tang Li subconsciously asked, "How do you want to tie me up?"
She thought Qi Yihan was too deep in his sleep to hear a word, but he suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared at her with his inky black eyes.
Tang Li blinked at him and said, "I am hot in here."
Qi Yihan replied after a few seconds, "I am hot too."
Tang Li felt that by 'Hot', they meant two completely different things.
But she was really too hot, so she struggled again.
"Let go of me. I'm about to get burnt."
Hearing that, the man's lips curled up. Suddenly, he started laughing. His low and pleasing laughter shook Tang Li's ears, making her heart race fast and her cheeks involuntarily turn red.
Qi Yihan fixed his deep eyes at her, and as if he didn't notice her blushed face, he whispered even more hoarsely in her ear, "Apart from the fact that you roll around while sleeping, you also like to grope around. If I don't wrap you up ina blanket, you might do something to me."
"How is that possible!" Tang Li refused to admit that she would do that. "I only like to hug things to sleep but I don't like to touch things."
"You won't admit it?" Qi Yihan raised an eyebrow.
This action gave his handsome face a bewitching sexiness.
Tang Li looked up at him, and suddenly she was busy catching her breath.
By the time she realized it, her lips were half a centimeter away from his.
Qi Yihan's raised eyebrows remained there as he looked at her.
Those eyes looked like hooks, hooking up her soul and her sanity.
Tang Li could not resist it anymore and raised her head.
Qi Yihan slowly let go of the blanket and put his arm around her waist, letting her do whatever she wanted.
After a long while,
Tang Li suddenly pushed him away and rolled to the side. She pointed at him with a trembling finger. "You, you, you…"
Qi Yihan tilted his head to look at her and said, "I didn't do anything."
Then he continued, "I was just doing something a normal man would do when aroused by a beautiful lady."
After saying that, he looked down at her body and praised, "Your body is… good."
Hearing that, she quickly buttoned it up.
She was the one who took advantage of him, but why did it seem like she was the one getting taken advantage of.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. After buttoning up the shirt, she grabbed the blanket and covered his face with it, and pounced on him, biting down on his chin.
'When he grunted in pain, Tang Li rolled to the bedside. Then, she got up and ran toward the bathroom.
After the door closed with a bang, Qi Yihan pulled the blanket away from his face and looked down at the deep bite mark.
Other than this daring woman, no one else dared to be so bold to do that to him.
He was sure that this woman was born in the year of the dog.
But her shy reaction was really… cute!
Tang Li stayed in the bathroom for a long time.
She was indeed shy.
She had never been so intimate with a man in her life and was shy to the point of feeling ashamed.
Looking at the woman in the mirror, who looked like she had just fought with someone, Tang Li bit her lips and comforted herself.
"Come on, Tang Li, why are you getting so shy? He is your husband and something like that is gonna happen sooner or later."
'When Tang Li finally stopped being shy and came out of the bathroom, Qi Yihan had already left the bedroom.
Tang Li walked to the stairs and heard Qi Yihan say to someone, "Prepare a helicopter to pick me up here at the hospital."
'When that person left, Butler Zhang, who was standing by the door, saw Tang Li and greeted her, "Good morning, Madam."
Qi Yihan tured around.
Tang Li felt that there was something meaningful in his eyes.
Qi Yihan said to the butler, "Go and prepare breakfast."
Butler Zhang went out immediately.
With the Butler gone, Qi Yihan just stood there and looked at her.
'Tang Li went downstairs. She felt like she was being stripped by his gaze with every step she took.
'When she was at the bottom of the stairs, Qi Yihan said, "I've gotten someone to prepare a helicopter to send you to where that piece of land is located. Call me whenever you need my help or whenever you miss me."
'Tang Li looked at the man with her mouth slightly agape and felt slightly delighted.
After a while, she came to her senses and said, "I'll be back in at most three days."
Tang Li looked at his handsome face and suddenly felt a little worried. "Remember to bring the medicine I gave you with you."
If a woman had wicked thoughts about him and drugged him, he would be able to save himself with that medicine.
Qi Yihan suppressed his smile and nodded.
Tang Li thought for a moment. Finding that she was not in the mood to go for a walk, she turned around and walked upstairs. "I'll call First Uncle and the others. I'll set out today."
With that, she quickly went upstairs.
She took out her phone and called First Uncle.
First Uncle answered quickly, "Li."
Tang Li said, "Uncle, I'm going there today. Remember what you promised me."
First Uncle was silent for a moment before saying, "As long as you take care of that for our family, we'll do whatever you want."
After saying this, he added, "Li, can I go with you?"
Tang Li thought for a moment and felt that it was fine to bring someone with her. "Sure. Come to Hospital X later. Yihan prepared a helicopter for me."
"alright."
"Uncle, I can't take too many people with me."
'Tang Li was worried that everyone in the Tang family would go with her. If anything really happened over there, she would not be able to keep an eye on everyone.
First Uncle agreed. "Sure." Then he hung up.
Tang Li also packed a few things before going downstairs to eat with Qi Yihan.
First Uncle arrived very quickly. Other than him, the other three men and Tang Zitong also came.
The three of them didn't intend to go with her. They were just here to check in on her..
Chapter 125: Mountain Watcher
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor:Henyee Translations
Hospital X had a tarmac. (After all, all the patients were rich and powerful, and some of them were from overseas. Private jets for them were nothing.)
A group of people stood beside the helicopter. Second Uncle instructed, "If you two run into danger, just abort the mission and come back. Your lives are much more important than anything else."
'Tang Ze and Tang Lei wanted to follow her.
"Cousin, why don't we go with you? We're young and strong. We might be able to help when needed."
Before Tang Li could say anything, Tang Zitong replied on her behalf, "First Brother, Third Brother, what if there are demons and monsters deep in that mountain? If we get captured by the demons, Fourth Sister will have to save us one by one."
First Uncle said to Tang Zitong sternly, "Zitong, what nonsense are you talking about?"
'Tang Zitong shrugged and mumbled unhappily, "I'm telling the truth."
Only then did Tang Li say, "Second cousin is right. I need to take care of this matter as soon as possible, whatever the cause might be. I will get distracted if too many people come along."
'Tang Ze and Tang Lei stopped talking.
'Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan, who was talking to one of the bodyguards not far away.
Tang Zitong moved closer to Tang Li and winked at her. "Fourth Sister, Fourth Brother-in-law is just worried about you, so he asked you to take his bodyguards with you, right? I think the bodyguards he sent to protect you are a little different from the other bodyguards of the Qi family. They look like
they came from the special forces."
'Tang Li glanced at her but did not say anything.
She continued, "In the past, everyone thought that Fourth Brother-in-law was too cold and unapproachable, but I think he didn't take everyone seriously. Now, he takes you seriously. Look, that's probably as considerate as a husband could ever be."
Tang Li could not help but smile.
'Tang Zitong added, "That's why you have to come back early. There are too many women out there who want him. Don't give those nymphs outside a chance to enchant him."
'Tang Li nodded in agreement.
"Tl only be gone for three days."
"We're all waiting for your triumphant return." Tang Zitong thought of something and said, "I'm meeting Ziqing for dinner this weekend. Why don't you come with us when you are back?"
'Tang Li looked at Tang Zitong in a new light.
"Are you that close to her now?"
"Of course." Tang Zitong was very proud. "We have common topics."
Their common topic was Tang Li. Every time, the two of them would talk about Tang Li for an hour or two.
Tang Li did not ask her what their common topics were. At that moment, Qi Yihan walked over after instructing his bodyguards.
Tang Li said, "It's about time we set out."
She glanced at Qi Yihan who kept staring at her without saying a word.
She thought for a moment, then suddenly took his hand and quickly drew something on it. In the eyes of others, she was just scribbling.
However, Qi Yihan knew that she was drawing talismans.
When she stopped, Tang Li smiled at him. "Tl keep all the women away from you."
Hearing that, Qi Yihan couldn't help but chuckle.
Tang Zitong, who was standing at the side, covered her chest and said, "Oh my god, that PDA is lethal."
The other men looked at her as if she was an idiot.
Tang Zitong knew that they didn't understand and didn't explain. She just giggled and planned to tell Su Ziging about this later.
When Qi Yihan smiled, he was handsome to the point that most of the girls would faint at the sight of him.
Tang Li let go of Qi Yihan's hand and got into the helicopter with First Uncle.
By the time Tang Li and the others arrived at Province C, it was already lunchtime.
The helicopter could only be parked at the airport of the city closest to the border of the two provinces. After they finished their meal in the city and Tang Li went to buy something, they headed to the border of the two provinces.
They arrived at their destination around three in the afternoon.
There were several villages here, so the car had to stop at the intersection.
After getting out of the car, Tang Li looked around.
Most of the land that the Tang family bought was flat land, which was utilized as farmlands and orchards.
'The mountain to the west was very close.
From where they were standing, the mountain in the west looked like a dragon, winding and coiling. The mountain was not very high. From where they were to the top of the mountain, it was probably around one or two thousand meters.
Tang Li watched for a while before she withdrew her gaze and asked First Uncle.
"First Uncle, I think you must have talked to the village head before we came. Where are we staying tonight?"
First Uncle pointed to the southwest. There were several houses built there. There was only one two-story building, and the rest were all brick.
"That's the place. We're staying at Li Bao's house tonight. He is the village head. I've already talked to him about it."
"Alright, let's go over now."
She planned to walk around the mountain first.
'When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a middle-aged uncle waiting there.
'When the middle-aged man saw them, he quickly strode forward to welcome them and shook First Uncle's hand enthusiastically. "Mr. Tang, welcome. Yesterday, I received a call from you. I asked my wife to clean up the rooms for you."
Then, he looked at Tang Li and praised, "Miss, you look really pretty."
Tang Li thanked him and said, "Sorry for disturbing you."
"No, no, not at all. We can't really grow high-quality food and fruits here because the soil quality is quite poor. We have been hoping someone will buy this land and help us out of poverty."
Then, he said apologetically, "I didn't know that so many of you would come. I have three empty rooms. You and this lady will each have one. The other gentlemen will have to stay with other families."
One of the bodyguards said, "We can just sleep on the floor."
"Well… alright then."
The village head knew that big shots' bodyguards were very professional and wouldn't be too far away from their employer. He decided to go back and borrow some mats and blankets from the other families for them to sleep on the floor.
They followed the village head towards the village.
Tang Li asked casually as she walked, "I heard that the mountain in the west can't be removed. Uncle Li, is there anything special about that mountain?"
"Um."
"We've already bought this place. Uncle Li, you don't have to worry about us going back on our words."
Hearing that, Uncle Li smiled awkwardly. He was still worried that they would withdraw their investment because most of the rich people believed in ghosts and gods, so he said, "There's a Mountain Temple on that mountain. Whenever someone has the intention to flatten out the mountain, the temple
will be shrouded in smoke. Then, there will be earthquakes and landslides in this area. Everyone says that it's because the Mountain God is angry."
"Isee."
Tang Li did not ask about that anymore. Instead, she asked about something else. "Is there anyone staying on the mountain?"
"Um."
Chapter 126: The Retarded Woman
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor:Henyee Translations
Mr. Li's hesitation made people look at him.
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, don't hesitate. Since we've already bought this piece of land, we are supposed to know what happened here because it is crucial for the development planning of this land. If we don't have a development plan, we can't put our
capital into it and the development will be delayed indefinitely. You don't want this to happen, do you?"
Mr. Li obviously hoped that this place would flourish, so he hastened to say, "There's a mountain watcher on that mountain. That watcher looks very scary."
As he spoke, he trembled, which was enough to prove that the watcher really looked terrifying.
Tang Li asked curiously, "How scary is the watcher?"
"His face is covered in cysts, and whoever goes to that mountain, he will come out to scare them away. But… there's a retarded woman in the village. She likes to go into the mountain to look for food, but the weird thing is that the mountain watcher never stops her…"
First Uncle looked at Tang Li, not knowing why she was asking this.
Tang Li continued to ask, "Which family is that retarded woman from? How old is she?"
"She is from the Yu family right over there."
Mr. Li pointed at the brick house over there. Even from afar, one could tell how poor and run-down it was. He sighed and said,
"Life is really not treating her well. A few years ago, the Yus went up to the mountain to reap the corns in the morning and didn't come back at night. We only found out that they were dead when their daughter carried them down the mountain."
At this point, his eyes turned red. "Only then did we know that, for some reason, they were hit by a huge rock and were buried underneath it. It was their daughter who found them and dug them out with her bare hand."
"The retarded girl doesn't even know what death is. At that time, when the village was preparing to help her bury her parents, she reacted extremely strongly."
After hearing this, everyone heaved sighs.
First Uncle asked, "Then how does she survive on her own?"
He couldn't imagine how a retarded girl like her managed to survive without her parents.
"The village is helping her, and she'll go up the mountain to look for food."
"Isn't she afraid of going up alone? Also, how old is that mountain watcher you talked about?"
"Idon't think she knows what fear means." the village head answered Tang Li. "That mountain watcher should be around thirty years old, He's not from our place, and we don't know when he came here. After occasionally running into him in the mountain, we nicknamed him mountain watcher."
At this point, the group of people was already at the doorway of several houses.
An old man was sitting on a stone under the eaves, smoking a cigarette. His gaze had been following them all the time, and he was obviously very curious about the few people dressed in fancy clothes.
At this moment, the old man spoke in a dialect.
Mr. Li stopped and talked to him, then continued to lead the way. Back on the road, he told them, "Families here are all with the same surname of Li. He just told me that Miss Tang is very pretty."
Next, they passed by a few other houses. The people they saw were all old people.
Whenever they saw Tang Li, they would say that she was pretty.
Tang Li smiled in response.
Mr. Li's house was on the back row. Not only was the house two-story, but the concrete dam in front of the house was also especially large. There were also several types of fruits planted beside the dam.
The few of them walked to the concrete dam. Mr. Li shouted into the house in the local dialect, and then a female voice answered and came out.
The person who came out was a middle-aged woman. When the middle-aged woman saw them, she was obviously a little nervous. She stood there and said in broken Mandarin, "Guests, welcome to our house."
Tang Li, "Good day, Ma'am, sorry for disturbing you."
"No, no, not at all." The middle-aged woman waved her hand. Then, she peeked at Tang Li and stood to the side. She gestured for them to come in. "I've already cleaned the rooms where you are staying. Please come in."
The couple brought them to the rooms that they would be staying in for the next few days.
Tang Li was staying in Mr. Li's daughter's room. After Mrs. Li took Tand Li up, she told her, "My daughter went out for training. She said that she wants to open a cake shop in town and will come back during the festival. Miss Tang, you can stay here for the next two nights. It's a little shabby, please don't
mind."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
When Tang Li entered, she sensed a trace of resentment. She asked Mrs. Li with a weird expression, "Have you been in touch since your daughter left?"
"Thave. Her training program is very strict. Occasionally we text, but we haven't called."
Tang Li could not help but shake her head. The girl from this family had already died a miserable death.
Instead of telling Mrs. Li immediately, she continued to size up the house. There were many girls' belongings placed inside, and it was very clean and tidy. There were many photos on one wall, some of which were the girl's selfies, and some of which were their family photos.
It could be seen from the photos that they also had a son.
When Mrs. Li saw Tang Li looking at the photos, she immediately smiled proudly. "My son is still studying. He is already a PhD student."
Tang Li praised, "Your son is very capable."
The smile on Mrs. Li's face deepened.
Mrs Li continued, "The bathroom is downstairs. If you find it inconvenient to go down in the middle of the night, I can bring a bucket for you?"
Tang Li, "No, that's not necessary… I'll just go downstairs."
"Oh, okay." Mrs. Li added, "The shower room is also downstairs, next to the toilet. When Miss Tang wants to shower tonight, Ill prepare the water heater for you."
Tang Li nodded.
"Then… I'll get going first. Miss Tang, you can rest for a while. You can call me if you need anything."
"Alright."
After Mrs. Li left, Tang Li walked to the window and looked into the distance. From where she stood, she could see the Yu family's house.
She thought for a moment and decided to go over and take a look.
'When she reached the ground floor, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Li talking to First Uncle. The bodyguards were also sitting in the living room. They were sitting upright and did not speak, making Mr. Li feel ill at ease.
'When the bodyguards saw Tang Li, they all stood up.
Tang Li said to First Uncle and Mr. Li, "I want to go out for a walk."
First Uncle quickly said, "I'l go with you."
"No, I think you are quite tired today. First Uncle, take a rest first. I'l just take a look around."
Then, she said to the bodyguards, "You don't have to follow me."
When Mr. Li heard this, he quickly got Mrs. Li to accompany Tang Li.
Tang Li did not reject and let Mrs. Li take the lead.
'When the two of them walked out of the Li family, they saw a few old men from the other families were throwing curious gazes at them.
Mrs. Li stopped to speak to them in a dialect and continued with Tang Li.
Tang Li asked Mrs. Li, "Did all the young people in this village go to big cities to work?"
"Yes, most of the young ones are far away."
At this point, Mrs. Li thought for a moment and reminded Tang Li, "If Miss Tang wants to go out, you'd better bring your bodyguards with you because there is a local gang around this area. ."
Tang Li, "Alright, thanks for reminding me."
Tang Li purposely walked in the direction of the Yu family. At first, Mrs. Li did not notice it, but when she did, she quickly pulled Tang Li back. Her expression changed. "Miss Tang, let's go the other way.."
Chapter 127: Are You Human or Demon?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"Why?" Tang Li asked curiously. "Can't we take this path?"
"The retarded girl's house is over there. She doesn't let anyone go near her house. Otherwise, she will bite people when she sees them."
"Does she normally bite?"
"She doesn't normally bite, but she'll bite when someone is near her house."
Seeing that Mrs. Li looked very worried, Tang Li decided to take a different path.
After they walked for a while, they saw a woman with disheveled hair and colorful clothes squatting by the canal, picking chrysanthemums and sticking them on her head. She was singing a song that no one understood.
Mrs. Li quickly told Tang Li, "Miss Tang, she's the retarded girl we told you about."
Tang Li looked at the woman opposite her. She was facing them sideways. Her messy hair covered her entire face, so her face could not be seen.
"Miss Tang, let's go. Otherwise, she will scare you later."
Mrs. Li thought that Tang Li was a rich lady from Imperial Capital, so If she was frightened by a retarded girl, she might blame her.
This time, Tang Li did not listen to Mrs. Li. She stood there and listened to the woman sing.
'The woman's voice was very clean and bright. When Tang Li listened carefully, she could hear a hint of sadness in it. As Tang Li listened, she frowned and said to Mrs. Li, looking into her eyes, "You can go back first."
For some reason, Mrs. Li was convinced by the firmness in Tang Li's eyes. She nodded and turned to leave.
Tang Li then walked to the woman's side.
The woman seemed not to have heard the approaching footsteps. She was still singing in a trance as she stuck the wild chrysanthemum on her head.
Tang Li asked, "Tell me, what did you see on the mountain?"
Her voice echoed in the woman's mind as if it had a magic effect.
The woman's body trembled. Then, she slowly turned to look at Tang Li.
Their eyes met.
'The woman's eyes were like water, pure and clean. Then, she smiled at Tang Li and turned around to pick the chrysanthemum while singing.
Tang Li stood there and looked at her for a long while before turning to leave.
"Since you want to help people, tell me about the situation here."
'The man covered his chest and sneered. He said coldly, "Why would I want to help people? What does their death have anything to do with me?"
Then, he raised his head to look at Tang Li and shouted at her fiercely, "Everyone is afraid of my face, that's why they don't dare to come up the mountain. I haven't seen such a beautiful young woman in a long time. If you don't want to leave, stay with me."
After saying that, he pounced on Tang Li.
Tang Li snapped her fingers, and the man froze on the spot.
Tang Li looked into his eyes and said to him, "I live in the village head's house."
Then, she snapped her fingers again and turned to leave.
After Tang Li was gone, the man moved his body, and only then did he realize that he could move now. He subconsciously turned to look behind him and saw that the collapsed thatched house had returned to its original state.
He looked at the thatched house in a daze.
Tang Li did not plan to visit the mountain today. There were more than a hundred families living at the foot of the mountain. She had to ensure their safety first, so she went straight back to Mr. Li's house.
At that moment, everyone was planning to go out to look for her. When First Uncle saw her, he quickly walked over and asked, "Li, why didn't you come back with Mrs. Li?"
Without batting an eye, Tang Li said, "I've never seen such scenery before, so I walked around the fields."
First Uncle looked at her face for two seconds before nodding, He said seriously, "Don't go out alone next time. Take the bodyguards with you."
"Got it."
It was already past four in the afternoon. In order to treat Tang Li and the others, Mrs. Li had already started killing chickens and geese. Even the neighbors came over to help. At first, everyone was still very ill-at-ease.
But as Tang Li asked the bodyguards to return to their room and went upstairs, those people felt comfortable and started chatting.
Tang Li stood by the window and looked into the distance. The retarded woman appeared in her line of sight again. At that moment, a few men walked past her. When the men saw her, they ran away in fear.
The weather in the village changed drastically. When it was about time for dinner, it suddenly rained.
The people who came to help went back.
After the meal, the rain had yet to subside. Mr. Li stood at the door and muttered, "This rain sure is annoying. Didn't the weather forecast say that it won't rain in the next two days? The weather forecast is too inaccurate nowadays.."

First Uncle frowned when he saw the rain outside the door. He asked Tang Li
, if the rain doesn't stop, will we still go up the mountain tomorrow?"
"Tm not sure, we'll see."
'Tang Li did not plan to take him up the mountain anyway. She turned around and asked, "Mr. Li, will the rain here cause some natural disasters?"
"Normally, it won't." After thinking for a moment, Mr. Li continued, "Actually, natural disasters rarely occur here. Flood is as bad as it can get. However
He knew that they intended to flatten that mountain, and he definitely didn't want them to do so. Hence, he purposely said in a serious tone, "However, ever since the government wanted to flatten that mountain a few years ago, serious natural disasters like earthquakes have been occurring that killed
many people."
"So, Miss Tang, Mr. Tang, I think it's not wise to flatten that mountain even if you want to develop this place. The terrain here is flat and wide. You should be able to do anything."
First Uncle looked at Tang Li but did not say anything.
Tang Li replied, "If removing that mountain will really cause natural disasters, we definitely won't do it. After all, we are here to make money, not to cause misery for you guys."
"That's right, that's right."
Mr. Li heaved a sigh of relief.
'Tang Li added, "However, we came with people who specialized in soil geology. When the time comes, we will go to the mountain to investigate what exactly is going on. This way, we can make sure that the buildings we build here in the future won't be affected by that mountain."
"Um.."
"Why? Are we not allowed to investigate that mountain?"
"Not, that's not what I mean." After some hesitation, he went on, "Even if you guys insist on going up there, I suggest Miss Tang not go up."
"Why?"
"That… That mountain watcher is a lecher. He will harass young girls. Moreover, he is very strong and fast."
'Tang Li looked at Mr. Li's face and knew that he was lying. She did not expose him. After nodding, she said to First Uncle, "Uncle, let's sleep early tonight. If the rain stops tomorrow morning, we'll make plans."
First Uncle nodded and the two of them went upstairs.
After the two of them left, Mrs. Li asked Mr. Li in a low voice with a worried expression, "Do you think their visit this time will cause trouble for us?"
Mr. Li glared at her and warned her, "Don't spout nonsense. The land here belongs to the Tang family now. They can do whatever they want."
"But… but the local Taoist nun said that we can't remove that mountain. If we remove it, something bad will happen to the young ones who are working in big cities… That's why the old people in the village aren't willing to remove it. What if the Tang family does something secretly?"
Mr. Li's expression darkened.
Tang Zitong, "Cousin, cousin, did you find anything over there? Are there really demons and monsters in that mountain? Are they easy to deal with?"
Tang Li did not plan to reply to her. When she was about to put the phone away and hit the bed, she was struck by a thought. "I wonder what Yihan is doing now. Should I send a message to ask?"
"I should ask. That would make it seem like I care about him a lot. He wouldn't want to find another woman and then divorce me."
After coming up with a reason, Tang Li called Qi Yihan. She wanted to send a message, but after some thought, she decided to video call him instead.
She didn't expect Qi Yihan to answer so quickly. He was wearing navy blue silk pajamas and sitting on the sofa in the bedroom. He had a laptop on his lap and his phone was beside him.
Tang Li sighed. "He is indeed handsome from every angle!"
*yihan, you're still working?"
"Yeah." Qi Yihan turned to look at her. When he saw that she was already lying on the bed, he asked, "Are you going to sleep this early?"
"What else can I do?" Tang Li said, "It's raining heavily here, and there's nowhere to go in the countryside at night."
Unexpectedly, Qi Yihan paused for a moment before saying, "The countryside is good."
Tang Li could not help but smile. "How is that good? Other than watching TV and sleeping, there's no other entertainment at night."
Qi Yihan asked naturally, "What if your husband is in the countryside too? Will you also sleep early?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Li was confused. "There are plenty of couples here in the countryside, and they all sleep very early."
Qi Yihan suddenly smiled at her.
'Tang Li was almost mesmerized by that smile.
This man's smile was too alluring!
Qi Yihan looked at her again and said, "The procedures for transferring the island you wanted are almost done."
"Ah… That's really quick!" She had yet to treat his father.
Qi Yihan looked at his laptop again, looking a little busy.
Seeing him like this, Tang Li said, "Alright, just focus on your work. I'm going to sleep now."
"Wait."
Qi Yihan stopped her and said, "I can video call you while working."
Chapter 129: The Old Man In A Raincoat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Li did not hang up the video. She watched as the man focused on his work.
Seeing that Tang Li was silent, Qi Yihan said, "You can tell me about the situation over there."
Tang Li thought for a moment before nodding, She then told him about what she saw and what she found.
Finally, she said, "I've examined Miss Yu closely. There's indeed something wrong with her brain, but her problem is different from ordinary brain problems. She should be able to stay sane every now and then. I guess when her parents were smashed to death by a large rock, she was sane. Moreover, she
keeps running up the mountain. I guess she must be looking for something or wanting to do something."
Hearing that, Qi Yihan stopped and asked Tang Li, "Did you sense anything on the mountain?"
Tang Li thought for a moment before telling him, "I sensed demons… The terrain of this mountain is very similar to that of a dragon, so this place is called Mountain Dragon. However, I feel that this mountain is more like a snake. I plan to visit the temple inside the mountain first."
"Will it be dangerous?"
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Tang Li continued confidently, "Slaying demons and devils is also within my scope of business."
Qi Yihan's lips curled up, and he nodded in agreement.
Then, he looked at the laptop while Tang Li continued, "Today, I went up the mountain and saw that mountain watcher…"
After Tang Li told Qi Yihan what happened on the mountain, his face suddenly tensed.
Tang Li did not notice the change on his face and was still talking to him. "There must be a story about that guy. I…"
"Tang Li."
Tang Li stopped and looked at him in confusion. "What?"
"The bodyguards are pretty capable. Other than the non-human things, you can get them to do anything."
"Oh, ok."
Qi Yihan glanced at her and felt that she was a little reluctant. He continued, "Didn't you say that his face is covered in cysts? Then he must be very ugly. Watch out on him, I think he is probably planning something evil."
Qi Yihan continued to ask her seriously, "Don't let an ugly guy sexually harass you? Otherwise… I'll get angry."
Tang Li was speechless.
"Tl get the bodyguards to investigate him."
"As you wish."
Satisfied, Qi Yihan went back to work.
'Tang Li looked at his side face for a while. Thinking that she had nothing to do anyway, she took out her laptop and said to him, "Since I have time, I might as well take the doctor's certificatio1
After saying that, she opened her laptop and started logging into the medical examination room of Hospital X.
The doctors at Hospital X were much more anxious than her when it came to her examinations. They had already done everything for her. All she needed to do was take time out of her schedule to take the exam.
Without hanging up, Tang Li started her exam.
Qi Yihan stopped his work to look at her when she was taking her exams.
He asked, "Do you want me to help you find answers?"
'Tang Li glared at him. "That's cheating."
Qi Yihan pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Then, the two of them just left the video on and started doing their own thing. When they looked up, they could see each other. The atmosphere was surprisingly good.
'Tang Li sat for two exams tonight, and it was already past ten when she finished them. Qi Yihan said to her, "It's very late. Go to sleep."
"Are you going to sleep too?"
"Mm." Qi Yihan closed his laptop and walked towards the bed with his phone.
After he laid on the bed, Tang Li said, "Good night."
"Good night."
Then the two of them ended the video call.
"Ah"
At one o'clock in the morning, a miserable cry mixed with the rain suddenly woke up everyone who was asleep.
'Tang Li quickly lifted the blanket and walked to the window.
The lights in the living room downstairs were already lit.
Then, she saw Mr. Li trying to go out with a flashlight.
However, he was stopped by a few bodyguards.
'Mr. Li stomped his feet, looking very anxious.
Tang Li turned around and walked toward the door. When she opened the door, First Uncle walked out from the other room.
"Li, did you hear that scream?"
"Theard it."
'The two of them walked down the stairs. As they walked, Tang Li said, "Uncle, stay at home with Mr. Li later. Don't go out."
"What about you? Is anything happening?"
'Tang Li did not reply to his questions.
The two of them went downstairs very quickly.
At this moment, the bodyguards were all standing by the door.
Mr. and Mrs. Li stood behind them, looking anxious.
'Mr. Li was stomping his feet anxiously. "I think that voice came from Mr. Wang. He's alone in the countryside. I don't know what happened there. As the village head, I have to go and take a look!"
"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li."
The moment Tang Li called them, they turned to look at her.
'Tang Li said, "Don't be anxious. It's quite dangerous to walk on a rainy night. If anything really happened to the person who screamed just now, people nearby will definitely come to inform you, so for the time being, just wait."
"How can I possibly wait?" Mr. Li said hysterically. "Mr. Wang is already in his seventies. If anything happens to him, how am I supposed to tell his kids."
As soon as he finished speaking, the incandescent light above his head flickered and went out.
"D*mn it! It's a blackout."
Mr. Li and the bodyguards took out their flashlights.
At this moment, a bodyguard standing outside the door suddenly said to the people inside, "Someone's coming towards here."
Mr. Liand Mrs. Li quickly walked to the doorway.
Tang Li and First Uncle followed suit.
At this moment, it was dark outside. Even with the flashlight, the night was still pitch-black, giving people a sense of oppression.
The eaves of the houses in the countryside were relatively wide. A group of people stood under the eaves and looked at an old man dressed in a raincoat, walking over quickly with a flashlight.
The old man shouted at them in fear from afar, "Ghost! Ghost! I saw a ghost!"
Mr. Li's house was slightly higher than the other ones. When the old man almost reached them, he suddenly switched off his flashlight, and then the night returned to its previous tranquility.
Everyone tensed up.
Tang Li said to one of the bodyguards, "Bring him up."
A bodyguard rushed over and brought him over.
Looking at the pale and unconscious old man, First Uncle asked Tang Li, "Li, what happened?"
"He is so frightened that he fainted."
After saying that, Tang Li gestured to Mrs. Li. "Go and get a bowl of warm water mixed with sugar and salt for this grandpa to drink."
"Oh… ok."
Mrs. Li quickly brought the water over.
After the old man finished drinking, he woke up. He looked at everyone in confusion and suddenly recalled something. His expression changed drastically as he said in fear, "Ghost! I saw a ghost!"
Mr. Li subconsciously glanced at Tang Li and First Uncle. He was afraid that his guests would be scared away by what the old man said, he hastened to say, "Mr. Wang, what nonsense are you talking about? How can there be ghosts in this world.."
Chapter 130: A Man With A Snake Body And A Human Head
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The old man pulled on Mr. Li's arm, and his body was trembling non-stop. He was panting heavily from the shock. After a long while, he said, "I got up to go to the toilet. When I threw a look outside, I saw a face. That face was covered in blood. His tongue was really really long and blood was coming out
of his eyes. I am so scared.
Hearing that, Mr. Li's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid and worried that this would scare Tang Li and the rest, so he came up with an explanation. "It must be a prank. Did someone put a ghost mask outside your house? There are no ghosts in this world."
"Impossible. If it was a prank, it wouldn't be so real."
Before Mr. Li could say anything, Tang Li spoke first. "Mr. Li is right. There are no ghosts in this world. Someone must be pranking you."
"Who in the world would be this wicked to scare an old man like me?" The old man wanted to explain that it was a ghost, but no one believed him. He was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "How about this. I'll get my bodyguards to go and see what's going on. It's raining heavily now. Mr. Wang, you can stay here and go back tomorrow morning."
Mr. Li was also worried about letting him go back, so he quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mr. Wang, you can rest at my place tonight. Don't worry, we have a lot of bodyguards. They will protect us."
Mr. Wang glanced at the muscular bodyguards standing around and finally felt a little more at ease. He quickly nodded, but at the thought of what he saw, he grabbed Mr. Li's arm and refused to let go. "If you guys are here, then I'm here too. I don't dare to be alone."
Mr. Li looked at First Uncle and Tang Li.
First Uncle subconsciously looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li said, "Since Mr. Wang is terrified, let's all stay together."
With that, she walked out of the door.
Seeing that, First Uncle quickly said, "Li, don't go out."
"I's fine, don't worry," Tang Li said. "I need to say something to the bodyguards in private outside."
With that, she went out with her bodyguards.
Outside, after setting up a magic field by the door, Tang Li took out several pieces of talismans from her pocket and said to them, "Take this with you and go see if there is anything wrong with the others. If you see what the old man said just now, shoot."
"Yes."
The bodyguards took the talisman and walked out with an umbrella. They did not look afraid of such a situation.
After the bodyguards left, Tang Li turned around and glanced at the few people in the living room. She quickly drew a talisman in the air, and the golden light from the talisman quickly spread across the entire building.
Then, an umbrella appeared in Tang Li's hand. She quickly walked into the rain, planning to visit Miss Yu.
However, just as she reached the edge of the courtyard, a ghost face floated in front of her.
The ghost face grinned at her while blood was bleeding out from everywhere.
It looked extremely sinister and frightening.
'When the ghost face appeared, the surroundings became even gloomier and the rain became heavier.
When ordinary people saw this, they would pass out. However, Tang Li was different from others. The ghost face smiled at her, and she smiled at the ghost face.
As she smiled, she quickly exuded an aura that made the ghost face shudder. Gradually, its smile faded.
'When the ghost froze, Tang Li slowly drew a talisman in the air with her finger and flicked it at the ghost face.
"Ouch ~" The ghost's face was aflame.
Tang Li looked at the ghost face who was screaming in the flames and asked, "Speak. Who told you to come? What is your motive?"
The ghost face in the black flames screamed and begged. "It's my lord. We are the lonely ghosts on the mountain. We are all controlled by our lord. He asked us to scare the villagers here and spread the rumor that it's you who brought us here, and only by offering you to the Mountain Temple will we
leave."
Tang Li's expression turned colder. "Who is your lord?"
"My lord is… Ah~"
The ghost face suddenly screamed and was annihilated.
"Humph, someone cast an Autodestruct Spell on it."
Tang Li frowned and continued walking forward.
The umbrella in her hand was silver, and it looked like a light was installed in it. Wherever she went, everything was lit up.
As she was walking forward, she heard several gunshots.
Tang Li looked at the spot where the gunshots came from but did not go over. Instead, she continued walking toward Miss Yu's house.
'When the ghost faces were being dealt with by the bodyguards, Tang Li had already walked to the Yu family's house.
'When she got closer, Tang Li realized that the house was protected by a magic field. This field could exorcize evil spirits and create a delusion so that when people looked at it, they could only see a dilapidated building.
Tang Li walked to the door and pushed it open. The scene inside was unexpected.
There was a bedboard in the living room, and two dead people were lying on it.
These two people were obviously Miss Yu's parents.
The bed board they were lying on was made of a scholar wood with a Tai Chi pattern on it. In front of them, there was a candle.
Seeing this, Tang Li mumbled, "Interesting."
Then, she tuned and walked toward the foot of the mountain.
'When she reached the foot of the mountain, Tang Li did not go up immediately. At that moment, all the scholar trees on the mountain were shaking, and the wind was blowing. It sounded like various demons and monsters were brandishing their claws.
Tang Li took out the bell and started ringing it slowly.
The bell's sound waves quickly suppressed the shaking scholar trees, and suddenly, the night descended into silence.
After the scholar trees calmed down, Tang Li walked up the mountain.
She went straight to the man's place.
However, to her disappointment, the man was not around either.
She thought for a moment but did not continue walking up. Instead, she summoned the two Kylins and went down the mountain.
In the depths of the mountain forest sat a mountain temple.
This temple was different from other temples. The outer walls were black paint. This temple was divided into the front courtyard, main hall, middle courtyard, second courtyard, and inner courtyard.
The front was similar to ordinary temples, used for worshiping mountain gods and other gods. But in the inner courtyard, this place was a different world.
It was permeated with Evil Spirit, and terrifying human bones and animal bones were everywhere.
In the luxurious house in the middle, there was a large chair. On it was a three-meter-long man with a snake body and a human head, who wrapped around a naked woman with his tail.
The woman was already on her last breath. The expression on her face had gone from the initial fear and pain to the numbness now. Her mouth was sealed by snakeskin. She could not scream even if she wanted to, and she could not die even if she wanted to.
Under the chair, a woman with disheveled hair was lying there.
A group of snakes was surrounding her and flicking their tongues at her excitedly.
