Chapter 105: Chapter 105: The Avenging Angel_1
Ye You explained his intentions to Qin Sisi, who then asked Bai Xue, "How much ti do you require?"
Bai Xue pondered and responded, "At most a week."
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You, who gave a subtle nod, quietly placing his paw in the palm of Qin Sisi.
Getting a confirmation from Ye You, Qin Sisi said to Bai Xue, "Alright, I can help you."
Upon saying that, Qin Sisi opened her hands, revealing a golden pill calmly lying in her palm.
Bai Xue’s eyes brightened up instantly.
Qin Sisi explained, "This is the Revealing Soul Pill. Upon consumption, it will return you to your human form, but the effect only lasts one day."
Bai Xue nodded, reaching out with her pale, thin fingers to take the Revealing Soul Pill. She then added, "I will consu it away from here. To avoid causing trouble for you, I will try to minimize contact with you after I regain my human form."
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont. She hadn’t considered that angle before; Bai Xue’s words gave her a chill. If Bai Xue did end up killing Shi Yan in the future and the police found out, she would likely be in serious trouble, given her association with Bai Xue.
Bai Xue, without uttering another word, calmly drifted towards the window.
Qin Sisi hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Xue replied in the sa mild manner, "I’m going to accustom myself to the outside world. I will move into this hotel tomorrow during the dayti and then stake out at Shi Yan’s company."
"You..." Qin Sisi started to say sothing, but quickly stopped herself.
Bai Xue glanced at Qin Sisi and asked, "Are you afraid I won’t return once I leave?"
Being seen through, Qin Sisi decided to be frank, answering, "Yes."
Bai Xue scoffed and reassured, "Don’t worry, my greatest wish right now is to get revenge. Since you’re helping , why would I leave and not return?"
Qin Sisi turned to look at Ye You, who was quietly lying on the bed, motionless.
Seeing how unperturbed Ye You was, seemingly well-prepared, Qin Sisi understood he had his own considerations. She said nothing more, watching silently as Bai Xue’s figure vanished into the limitless darkness.
In the following days, Qin Sisi carried on as before, mostly staying in and diligently practicing her Fire Magic, only going out to buy food at al tis.
True to her word, Bai Xue moved into the hotel the very next day, taking up the room next to Qin Sisi’s.
To keep a low profile, Bai Xue maintained distance from Qin Sisi. Only when the effect of the Revealing Soul Pill wore off at late night, Bai Xue’s ghost would perate the wall into Qin Sisi’s room to acquire another pill.
Unlike Qin Sisi’s seclusion, Bai Xue would dress up beautifully and go out early every day. Her white dress hem fluttered gently in the morning breeze. Naturally beautiful, coupled with her efforts to accentuate it, her stunning face and ethereal deanor easily attracted countless awestruck gazes from passersby.
Qin Sisi would stand by the window, gazing at her receding figure. Sotis, she would have a strange feeling, as if Bai Xue were still the innocent, cheerful young girl crazily in love from a decade ago. However, Qin Sisi was all too aware that the current Bai Xue was a vengeful angel from hell.
Shi Yan had been living a life that could be perfectly described as "spring wind overjoyed, horse hooves fast, a day sees all Chang’an flowers."
Despite his wife being spoiled and not very bright, she was easy to coax. His business was booming, making him richer and more powerful.
His present life was exactly as he had dread it would be many years ago. Everything was just right, except for not having a child.
Thinking of a child, Shi Yan’s eyes beca gloomy. Although his wife brought him many resources, she was unable to get pregnant. Feeling pressured by his father-in-law, Shi Yan dared not blatantly find a mistress to have a child.
Luckily, fate was on his side. His father-in-law had fallen seriously ill last year, and after his recovery, he was not as energetic as before. This ant that Shi Yan had beco the backbone of the company, and he speculated that he could soon replace his father-in-law.
Thus... Shi Yan’s mouth curled up with a triumphant smile. In an outskirt villa, his mistress was pregnant with his child. Seeing the woman’s belly growing bigger, the joy in Shi Yan’s heart intensified.
He had almost everything he wanted. However, there was still a thorn in his heart that hurt occasionally, even though it had been ten years already.
That evening, Shi Yan stepped out of his office building. The past ten years had flown by, transforming the previously refined Shi Yan. He was plumper, had less hair, but his eyes which were still shinning, subtly revealed his ambition from the past.
As Shi Yan moved towards his car and was about to open the door, a sweet voice sounded from behind, "Sir, could you please help ?"
Shi Yan turned around, astonishnt on his face. As he saw the beautiful face, he stiffened, his breath nearly halting.
Bai Xue, his beautiful first love, his youthful mory, the prick on his conscience that had plagued him for ten years, and also... the stumbling block of his career, which he had strangled with his own hands.
A puzzled expression appeared on Bai Xue’s face. She blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked again, "Sir, can you help , please?"
Shi Yan recoiled a bit, but quickly regained his composure. It had been ten years; even if Bai Xue were alive, she would be a woman in her thirties now. The young and beautiful girl before him just happened to resemble Bai Xue. There were countless people in the world who could look alike.
As soone who’s seen the world, Shi Yan quickly adjusted his emotions. Turning to Bai Xue, he broke into a gentle and polite grin, responding, "Sure, I am happy to assist a beautiful lady."
He wasn’t usually so approachable, having heard of many young won using their looks to scam others. Though, facing that strikingly familiar face, he felt an irresistible pull as if seeing himself from many years back.
Bai Xue smiled shyly and whispered, "I’ve had my money and phone stolen, and I don’t know my way around. Could I borrow your phone to call a friend?"
"Certainly." Shi Yan’s smile was warm as he politely handed her his phone.
"Thank you," Bai Xue uttered gratefully. She took the phone and dialed Qin Sisi. After a brief explanation of her situation, she asked Qin Sisi to pick her up.
Qin Sisi, upon hanging up, carried on practicing her magic nonchalantly. The phone call was rely part of an act.
Bai Xue, with a charming smile, returned the phone to Shi Yan. "Thank you. My friend said she’s currently occupied but will co to pick
up soon."
Shi Yan took back his phone. Under normal circumstances, he should say goodbye and leave. However, his mouth wouldn’t say the words and his feet refused to move.
