Chapter 640: Chapter 640 Misfortune and Fortune from One’s Own Doing_1
Qin Sisi thought about Qian Wu’s request earnestly and finally replied, "The day after tomorrow is your funeral. I intend to observe the ceremony to see your wife in person before I make a decision."
Qian Wu’s demand was quite unreasonable, bordering on unreasonableness, and Qin Sisi didn’t want to thoughtlessly agree just for gaining the Soul Power without considering the feelings of others.
As for whether to remarry or not, Qin Sisi wanted the decision to co from Qian Wu’s wife. Hence, she planned to observe her discretely and gauge whether she had any intentions of remarrying.
If she didn’t, it would be easier for Qin Sisi to agree with Qian Wu’s proposition.
However, if she did intend to remarry, Qin Sisi would have to negotiate all over again with Qian Wu. If that didn’t work, coercion might be the next step.
Qian Wu’s gaze flickered for a mont and he nodded, saying, "Alright then, I will wait for your good news."
Qin Sisi contemplated for a mont, then spoke in a clear and cool tone, "Let’s be clear, if I help you achieve these two wishes, you cannot have any additional requests."
Qian Wu always had a habit of pushing the boundaries. However, seeing the stormy expression on Qin Sisi’s face, he only fearfully agreed in order not to antagonize her further, "Okay, only these two wishes."
The negotiation was more or less concluded. Qin Sisi felt a wave of exhaustion hit her and she heaved a sigh of relief, saying, "Let’s leave it at this for now. I’ll keep you both aside and I promise to fulfill your wishes from this lifeti sooner rather than later."
Mao Xiaolu and Qian Wu nodded, then Ye You waved a claw and stored the two ghosts back into the Portable Space.
Later, Qin Sisi lay on the bed, holding Ye You and asked softly, "What do you think? Should we agree to Qian Wu’s request?"
Ye You’s bright eyes shone gently, his fluffy paw gently stroking Qin Sisi’s hair as he replied softly, "Didn’t you want to et his wife first? You made a correct point, after eting her, it won’t be too late to make a decision."
Qin Sisi gratefully glanced at Ye You, knowing that he was giving approval to her actions, expressing support and encouragent. A warm feeling spread through her heart and her grip around Ye You’s arm tightened.
Clung to each other, they both fell asleep soundly.
The following day, Qin Sisi continued to practice the magic skill, Leaf Blind, she had just learned - five hours in the morning and another five in the afternoon. Regrettably, after using Leaf Blind on the ceiling light countless tis, she ultimately failed to turn it off.
In the end, Qin Sisi let out a sigh before comforting herself and encouraged herself to continue practicing the next day.
As night fell, Qin Sisi changed clothes and asked Ye You to release the ghost of Mao Xiaolu.
Following the guidance of Mao Xiaolu, Qin Sisi and Ye You arrived at Mao Xiaolu’s ho.
Mao Xiaolu lived in an average housing complex. Her equally mundane apartnt had two bedrooms and a living room. It wasn’t much spacious and appeared a bit ssy, indicating that the owner didn’t pay much attention to tidiness.
Mao Xiaolu pouted and complained to Qin Sisi, "Did you see that? This is my ho. I’ve had a hard life, marrying a pauper. Many of my classmates married husbands who earn annual salaries of a million and live in villas. I am prettier than them, yet I have to live in this poor place."
Qin Sisi didn’t want to listen to her complaints, and urged her, "You should go see your daughter first!"
Mao Xiaolu grumbled a bit but floated towards the bedroom.
The bedroom door seed not well closed. When Mao Xiaolu floated in, the chilly wind swung the door open slightly, piquing Qin Sisi’s curiosity, who peeked in through the gap.
From the interior decoration and the color of the furniture, it appeared to be a child’s room, with the bedhead, curtains, and study desk all in pink.
Under the pink quilt, a little head with slightly long hair was dozing peacefully.
Next to the child, a man in his thirties was leaning against the bedhead, wearing pajamas, sleeping soundly. However, it was obvious this position must not be comfortable for him.
Under the light emanating from the Wings of Rainbow, the man’s knitted brows and countenance spoke volus about his deep sorrow and exhaustion.
"Why is he sleeping here too?" Mao Xiaolu glared at the man.
The man sleeping next to the child was her husband, a common laborer, whose low inco has always been a source of discontent for Mao Xiaolu.
Qin Sisi saw Mao Xiaolu’s complaining face and sighed helplessly.
Sudden deprivation of a mother must have made the child unable to sleep on her own. Hence, the father must have decided to accompany the child, despite possibly getting a poor night’s sleep himself.
This was a father’s tender love and gentleness towards his child. It was surprising that such a gesture would draw dissatisfaction from Mao Xiaolu. It was truly the case; if one does not love, virtues could also turn into faults in their eyes.
Mao Xiaolu glared at the man for a while, her expression gradually softening. She rationalized, she was already dead, what does it matter to her whether he was poor or rich.
Mao Xiaolu sighed, floated away from him, and moved to her daughter’s side.
Gazing at her young daughter, a gentle look finally surfaced on her face.
A daughter is a mother’s sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Oh, how she wished she could be there to watch her daughter grow up!
Her guilt towards her daughter aroused a few regrets in Mao Xiaolu’s heart. She realized she should not have stooped to collaborate with Qian Wu. If only she knew!
But regretting now was too little too late.
Mao Xiaolu bent down to gently kiss her daughter’s cheek, her eyes filled with tears as she reluctanly floated away from the room.
Qin Sisi just watched Mao Xiaolu in silence. Mao Xiaolu knew that Qin Sisi was waiting for her Soul Power. Mao Xiaolu had already ntioned earlier that she was willing to offer her Soul Power as soon as Qin Sisi let her see her daughter.
With her wish from this life now fulfilled, and the one from her next life negotiated, she indeed had no reason to delay any further.
Mao Xiaolu took a deep breath, gazed up at the ceiling, gritted her teeth, and said to Qin Sisi, "Mage, I am willing to offer you my Soul Power. Please take good care of
in my next life."
"Don’t worry, I will fulfill everything I promise," Qin Sisi replied resolutely.
Mao Xiaolu nodded, her expression gradually relaxing.
Looking at her readiness, Qin Sisi turned towards Ye You and gave him a slight nod.
Ye You imdiately lifted a claw and brought out the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The snow-white Spirit Conversion Bottle slowly rotated in mid-air, scattering gentle and sacred radiance.
This was the second ti Mao Xiaolu had seen the Spirit Conversion Bottle. The night was killed by An Ran, she had seen An Ran’s soul float into this mysterious bottle.
Mao Xiaolu resigned herself to her fate, closed her eyes, and felt her body lightly float in the air.
Gradually, Mao Xiaolu’s figure blurred until only a wisp of white smoke was seen swirling and fading, before finally entering the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
Ye You waved a claw, the Spirit Conversion Bottle returned to his hand and disappeared instantly.
Qin Sisi and Ye You nodded to each other and silently left Mao Xiaolu’s ho.
