Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Delayed Retribution_1
The next few days passed in an uneventful manner.
Qin Sisi continued to lay low, diligently practicing her fire magic, but now using candles instead of paper. Candles proved to be much more convenient as she did not have to constantly clean up ashes.
Sotis, Ye You would guide Qin Sisi through her practice, other tis he would retreat to the Portable Space to concoct pills.
As for Bai Xue, she maintained her stunning beauty, sotis seductive, sotis gentle and innocent, and gradually got closer to Shi Yan.
Qin Sisi only saw Bai Xue late at night when she would co for the Revealing Soul Pill. Bai Xue would take the pill and leave, barely saying a word.
Qin Sisi wanted to inquire about the progress of the plan, but Bai Xue’s cold deanor made her hold back.
Bai Xue had said she would only need a week at most, and she was true to her word.
On the sixth night, Qin Sisi was awakened by strange noises, to which Ye You also responded by opening his eyes and giving a dissatisfied "ow".
However, when they both realized what those sounds were, they froze.
The sounds of romance and intense passion were too... indescribable.
Qin Sisi stood up irritable. How could Bai Xue do this? Wasn’t she supposed to hate him? Why was she acting like this with him?
Unable to understand, she decided to stop thinking about it altogether.
However, the sensual sounds were too distracting and made her unable to sleep. Feeling uncomfortable sitting on the bed staring at Ye You, she forced herself to practice fire magic with the candle.
Ye You also sat quietly, with his consciousness entering the Portable Space, but simply sorted out the herbs inside and didn’t start concocting any pill. Alchemy required total concentration without any interruption, and with Bai Xue’s current situation unclear, any sudden occurrence could disrupt the process.
As expected, it wasn’t long before the noises from the next room stopped.
Qin Sisi frowned confusion, but didn’t give it another thought and continued her practice.
After a while, Bai Xue’s graceful figure erged from the wall. She still wore her ethereal white dress, but her sleek, shiny hair was slightly disheveled.
"It’s over," Bai Xue said calmly.
Qin Sisi turned to look at her and, to her surprise, she found that Bai Xue’s beautiful face was covered in wrinkles. She looked like a pristine snow lotus that had rapidly withered after blooming in an instant.
"Where’s Shi Yan?" asked a puzzled Qin Sisi.
"He’s dead," Bai Xue replied blandly without any expression.
Even though she had anticipated this, Qin Sisi’s heart still skipped a beat upon hearing Bai Xue’s confirmation, "Did you kill him?"
"Yes, he owed
that." After saying this, Bai Xue turned to look at Qin Sisi with a vacant expression. "I’ve done what I needed to do. Take my Soul Power now."
As Bai Xue was so forthright, Qin Sisi regretted her suspicions, but couldn’t resist asking, "Didn’t you consider running away?"
Bai Xue gave Qin Sisi a brief glance before replying, "I did, but I realized that running away wouldn’t improve my situation. It’s better to honor my promise. Perhaps this is my fate."
Bai Xue was indeed a smart person, what a pity.
After a mont of silence, Qin Sisi asked softly, "Do you regret it?"
"Yes, I do. I regret ever having loved such a scumbag," Bai Xue responded coldly.
Qin Sisi shook her head slowly and said, "He did love you once, but by the ti he suggested breaking up, he was no longer in love with you. You shouldn’t regret loving him, rather, you should regret your stubbornness in not breaking up. If you had let go and left him then, you might have had a better life afterward."
There was a fleeting look of bewildernt in Bai Xue’s eyes as she stared blankly at Qin Sisi. From the beginning to the end, she had sowhat looked down on Qin Sisi as she found her ordinary and not as brilliant and dazzling as herself.
But at this mont, as Bai Xue looked into Qin Sisi’s clear eyes, she abruptly realized that she was not in a position to belittle her.
Perhaps she had been too stubborn, refusing to let go, refusing to accept defeat. When stepping back could have led her to a vast and open horizon, she insisted on forging ahead, only to fall off the cliff.
Bai Xue let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe you’re right, but it’s all aningless now. Take my soul. I’m tired."
After saying this, Bai Xue closed her eyes and pressed her lips together, as if she didn’t want to say another word.
Qin Sisi turned questioning eyes to Ye You who nodded and without any hesitation, he took out the Spirit Conversion Bottle. Since this was an agreent, it was only right to swiftly conclude it.
Bai Xue remained still, her snowy figure gradually turned into a milky white mist and after spiralling around, it slowly rged into the flawless Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The Spirit Conversion Bottle now contained an additional soul, and the world was one fierce ghost less.
As for what actually happened in the nearby room, Qin Sisi was clueless.
In order to avoid suspicion and also to quench her curiosity a bit, Qin Sisi decided to stay a few more days.
Three days later, the strange sll coming from the room alerted the hotel’s staff. After the guest hadn’t been seen for several days, the staff, having received the necessary permissions, forcibly entered the room and got an absolutely shocking and nauseating sight.
Then, the police got involved and after their investigations, determined Shi Yan’s cause of death.
Qin Sisi did not visit the scene, but she overheard the staff whispering. Shi Yan was found naked in bed in an odd position, reportedly dead from excessive sexual indulgence.
With an open mind to learn, Qin Sisi opened up Baidu and typed in the cause, the explanations made her astounded but also provided understanding.
So this was Bai Xue’s thod, making him pay with his life and shaming him in the process.
This type of disgraceful death would most definitely make people keep their distance from Shi Yan’s mory. For a long ti to co, he would be a hot topic of conversation over als.
His family, his wife, and his pregnant mistress would certainly have a hard ti accepting this.
A small head appeared on Qin Sisi’s shoulder-corner, and she quickly put her phone away, shooting a guilty glance at Ye You who was behind her.
"No need to hide, I’ve seen it." Seeing Qin Sisi’s frantic appearance, Ye You couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Qin Sisi felt her face color and, not daring to respond, changed the subject. "What shall we do next?"
Ye You blinked, speaking slowly, "A life has been lost, many people in this hotel will check out. We should also check out and leave tomorrow."
Qin Sisi continued, "Are we going ho?"
Ye You looked up at Qin Sisi, "Now that everything is settled here, it’s ti we left. But this city is being beautiful, if you want to stay for a few more days, we can wait."
Qin Sisi shook her head and smiled at Ye You, "No, we have important things to attend to. Besides, when I’m outside, I can’t speak to you. Being alone isn’t very fun."
Ye You’s gaze deepened, and he quietly morized Qin Sisi’s words in his heart; wait for , one day, you’ll never be alone again.
