Chapter 163: Heartless! What Kind of Woman Is This?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The bride entity struggled violently!
Li Yidao could sense her current anger and fear, but he also had another sensation: he had the power to end the life of this bride at any moment.
It was as if her life and death were completely under his control through the power of Soul Seizure.
Under Soul Seizure, he had the freedom to control everything.
“Exhale…”
Li Yidao took a deep breath.
He had not expected the Soul Seizure ability to be this potent.
It was indeed a supercharged offensive skill, comparable to the Blade of Death.
“Release the young boy, and I can release you,” Li Yidao’s voice transmitted gently.
He was somewhat helpless now.
Just moments ago, when he had attempted to eliminate this bride entity once and for all, he hadn’t expected her to calm down.
Not only that, but she now displayed a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Li Yidao had just realized that if he were to eliminate the bride entity now, the young boy intertwined with her aura would also die instantly.
Furthermore, it would be a soul-level death. Even the Hand of God would be unable to save a soul in this situation.
If he used the Hand of God to heal the boy first, it would be meaningless because the boy wasn’t suffering from physical injuries that could be treated by the Hand of God.
This is why Li Yidao was negotiating with her.
However, the bride’s mocking gaze seemed to convey that she wasn’t afraid to take action.
“Do you really think I dare not act?” Li Yidao’s tone had grown icy.
He was genuinely angered by the bride entity’s audacity in threatening him in this manner.
Yet, ironically, this threat was indeed effective.
He truly couldn’t allow any harm to come to the young boy in his attempt to resolve the bride entity.
This would go against his initial purpose for coming here.
Listening to Li Yidao’s cold words, the bride entity remained silent.
In fact, she maintained her calmness, closed her eyes, and provided no further response.
In essence, she had refused to communicate with Li Yidao.
Seeing this, Li Yidao’s gaze turned icy, but he felt helpless inside.
He was truly caught in a difficult situation.
However, suddenly, Li Yidao seemed to have an idea.
His tone changed, and he asked abruptly, “What did that woman promise you to make you take action against the young boy?”
At this unexpected question, the bride entity’s eyes suddenly opened wide, showing a look of incredulity.
But as she saw Li Yidao’s expression, she immediately changed her facial expression.
She closed her eyes again and remained silent.
Nevertheless, at this point, Li Yidao had already obtained the answer he sought.
Indeed, there must have been some form of communication between that woman and this bride entity, but the nature of their agreement remained a mystery.
It was unclear what led the bride entity to target the young boy.
Li Yidao was perplexed by the situation.
The idea of a mother resorting to unknown powers to harm her own child left him with an eerie feeling.
He couldn’t fathom why a mother would do such a thing.
However, he had a realization.
The woman couldn’t be the boy’s biological mother because her age didn’t match.
The young boy was at least eight years old, while the woman appeared to be in her early twenties, no older than 25.
Such an age didn’t seem compatible with having an 8-year-old child. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝐦
This woman, then, was likely a stepmother.
It explained everything and added another layer of complexity to the situation.
Li Yidao was struck by this revelation.
The situation within the wealthy family was turning out to be more complicated and troubling than he had initially thought.
Li Yidao thought through the situation and found himself somewhat speechless for a moment.
He even considered giving up on the matter.
However, in the end, he shook his head, feeling helpless.
Whether it was because he had promised the old man or simply because of the young boy in front of him, Li Yidao couldn’t stand by and allow the bride entity to continue tormenting the boy.
He knew he needed to find a solution.
But now, as neither a confrontational approach nor a cooperative one seemed viable, he had to resort to another method.
All the supernatural elements surrounding the boy’s condition were bound to have a story and special reasons behind them.
To address the issue, he had to discover this story, uncover the root cause, and dissipate the resentment, making the bride entity vanish willingly.
This was the only way to ensure the boy’s safety.
So, with a deep breath, he chose not to engage with the bride entity any further. Instead, he left the hospital room.
As he exited, he saw Wei Wenqiang, who was anxiously waiting, and the woman with a wary expression.
Li Yidao calmly inquired, “Have you managed to contact the people who sold you the villa? Can you meet them tomorrow?”
Initially wearing a worried expression, Wei Wenqiang was momentarily taken aback by Li Yidao’s question.
However, he then flashed a bitter smile. He knew that his grandson’s salvation was no longer in their hands.
Otherwise, Li Yidao wouldn’t be reconfirming the previously arranged details.
It was obvious!
If he wanted to save him, he had to solve the problem with the inkstone first!
“Contact has been established. The person is not in Jiang City right now, but they’ll be back tomorrow morning, and we expect they will arrive around noon.”
Li Yidao nodded and said, “Great, that’s perfect. Tomorrow at noon, I’ll make some preparations. Also, keep an eye on your grandson’s room tonight. Don’t let anyone near him—no one but yourself.”
In his final sentence, Li Yidao emphasized the point.
Wei Wenqiang visibly paused, then instinctively glanced at the woman next to him.
Observing this reaction, Li Yidao couldn’t help but silently acknowledge that Wei Wenqiang was indeed a shrewd individual.
He aptly sensed the implications in Li Yidao’s words.
Wei Wenqiang nodded slightly and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll stay here tonight, and I’ll make sure everyone else stays away, even if his father comes.”
As soon as Li Yidao finished speaking, the woman seemed about to speak up, but Wei Wenqiang preempted her.
He went a step further and added that even if the child’s father showed up, he wouldn’t allow anyone near.
Essentially, his statement implied, “You, the stepmother, won’t be allowed near either.”
Li Yidao nodded and said, “Alright, that’s settled. Take one of these amulets for yourself and place the other one on your grandson’s chest.”
Li Yidao took out two amulets and handed them over to Wei Wenqiang, who visibly brightened.
He promptly accepted them, clearly understanding their significance.
It seemed that Wei Wenqiang had received these items from the old man before.
This was common, as Li Yidao himself recalled how their old man had often given him and Li Yinuo peculiar items to carry around during their childhood.
Wei Wenqiang arranged for a driver to take Li Yidao back to the funeral shop. Initially, he had intended to arrange a more comfortable hotel for Li Yidao, given the late hour.
However, Li Yidao declined the offer. For him, there was no place more comfortable to sleep than in his own shop.
It was midnight when Li Yidao returned to the shop. After a quick wash, he lay down on his bed, preparing to sleep.
But just as he was about to drift off to sleep, he suddenly heard the sound of someone picking a lock.
Following that, he heard someone carefully opening the shop’s door.
Huh? A thief?
What could you possibly steal from a funeral shop?
However, as he was about to get up and sternly drive the intruder away, he felt an intense sense of danger.
It was instinctive, an immediate response to an impending threat.
Without thinking, he moved away from his bed and took a few steps closer to the wall behind the door.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as he moved, several arrows shot through the door, piercing it and embedding themselves in his bed.
D*mn!
This wasn’t a thief.. Someone was trying to kill him!
