The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 228 - 232: The Haunted Old House (Part 1)

After returning to the Chaos, Su Li felt her power had greatly increased; she then immediately received the next visitor.

The timing of Su Li’s awakening wasn’t very good, as the original owner had already found a secret technique to completely transform her temperament.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a face whose eyes were nearly popping out, swollen and decaying.

Caught off guard, Su Li was also greatly startled.

The Lady Ghost proudly split her big mouth, revealing a set of rotting, black teeth, and a terrifying ghost face almost pressed against Su Li’s face.

With just a finger’s width of distance, Su Li could smell the foul stench emanating from the Lady Ghost’s mouth.

This disgusted Su Li immensely.

She immediately swung a slap down.

The Lady Ghost’s scornful smile hadn’t even fully disappeared when her misplaced hand struck the ghost body directly, and instantly, a soul-searing pain swept through her entire body.

Su Li slapped the Evil Ghost approaching her away, and only after breathing in some fresh air did she start to feel better.

As for the Lady Ghost that hit the wall and then slowly slid down, her previously tangible ghost body had turned transparent, barely visible.

Looking up again, the previously ready-to-act Lady Ghost was suddenly frightened. Seeing the woman whom she thought was a piece of Tang Seng’s flesh held a white fire burning in her palm, the Lady Ghost sensed her ghost body about to disperse and realized the situation was dire. She turned into a gust of black wind and quickly disappeared from the room.

Su Li glanced at the white flame in her palm with some regret; the power of light was indeed useful.

Luckily the female ghost ran quickly, or else she really wanted to test how strong the power of light she obtained from the last world was.

However, it should be just the right weapon to contain these dark creatures.

Su Li looked up at the clock on the table; it was half-past two in the morning. The wide-open window let drafts of cold air in, chilling to the bone.

Outside the window was the deep night, dark and gloomy, as if harboring many sinister and venomous things.

With a "bang," Su Li walked forward barefoot and closed the window.

Without those vaguely perceptible peering sensations, it was much easier on the senses.

The defeated Lady Ghost who had fled seemed to be a rather energetic Evil Ghost. Since her failed attempt, no repulsive thing had appeared again.

Su Li climbed back into bed and covered herself with the blanket; now it was the early morning, the right time to sleep.

Ignoring the occasional sensation of something sinister stirring in the darkness, the person in bed quickly drifted into a blissful slumber.

The next day, at the crowing of the rooster, the pervasive evil thoughts finally receded like a tide.

Su Li had a good sleep, feeling completely relaxed in body and mind.

Indeed, this body had been too tense lately, but fortunately, being young and robust, a night’s relaxation had restored her vitality.

After getting up, Su Li squinted at her reflection in the room’s full-length mirror.

Her lush black curly hair tumbled down to her waist, her eyes sparkled mischievously, and her plump red lips were slightly pursed, hinting at words unspoken.

This was a beautiful and charming woman.

He truly was the antagonist in this world, a character capable of creating a lot of trouble for the male and female leads—capital was certainly advantageous.

However, the original owner still had a common woman’s ailment—being too emotional. In the end, they almost became like an antagonist boss, but were still killed by the male and female leads.

Su Li shook her head, completely unaware of the awkward phrasing in her thoughts, as if she herself wasn’t a woman.

"Xiao Li, was everything alright last night?"

The lady of the Su Family, Jiang Lai, pushed open the door anxiously, hurriedly surveying her daughter. Seeing that Su Li appeared relaxed and unharmed, she finally sighed in relief and said annoyed, "Last night, I don’t know what happened, I just couldn’t stay awake; I fell into a deep sleep."

"Xiao Li, don’t be stubborn tonight. Let mom sleep with you, your constitution is weak, I’m always not too reassured." Jiang Lai negotiated with Su Li, mentioning her weak constitution with an implication that seemed to mean more than just physical frailty.

Su Li, of course, understood what her mother was hinting at.

Because this world was a Mysterious World filled with ghosts.

Su Li smiled at Jiang Lai, "It’s fine, Mom. Wearing the paper talisman you obtained for me felt really good, and I slept better than ever last night."

Jiang Lai exclaimed joyfully, "Really? Then I’ll go to the Daoist Temple and get a couple more for you."

What actually worked wasn’t the talisman.

Su Li found a burnt piece of yellow paper under her pillow, which suggested that this thing might be somewhat useful, but for dealing with more powerful spiritual bodies, it probably wasn’t of much use at all.

But Su Li wouldn’t say that; keeping Jiang Lai reassured was good enough.

With her mind completely at ease, Jiang Lai resumed her nagging, maternal tone, "I’m not blaming you, but even if you like Gu Shi so much, you should still consider your safety. That method is too sinister. How could you deceive your parents and just..."

Jiang Lai stopped suddenly, carefully observing the expression on Su Li’s face. Seeing that she wasn’t upset, she sighed in relief but didn’t dare to continue.

She remembered her daughter particularly disliked it when others questioned her decisions.

Stubborn...

That was the label Su Li gave to the original owner, and of course, naive—to put it plainly, rather foolish.

The original owner had been dazzled by imagined love, thinking it was a sacrifice for love, but in the end...

Her inability to see through did not mean Su Li couldn’t.

From the original owner’s memories, Su Li could clearly see that this silly girl had been used, and even her death served someone else’s purposes.

This world’s story was actually a joyful comedy between a tyrannical CEO and a naïve little ghost-catching Taoist.

Though they faced numerous difficulties along the way, they still overcame them and came together.

And many of these difficulties, aside from the ghosts, were majorly caused by the original owner, who deeply loved the male lead.

The Gu Family in Shangjing was considered a top-tier family, originally irrelevant to a third-rate small family like the Su Family. However, fate would have it that the youngest son of the Gu Family, Gu Shi, was born with an intense Evil Qi, and from childhood wore Purple Sandalwood Beads blessed with essence blood by the abbot of Nancheng Temple.

But as he grew, even the abbot’s blessed beads, offered before Buddha and saturated with incensed prayers, couldn’t suppress the increasingly potent Evil Qi within him.

Gu Shi soon became the object of immense desire for the big ghosts—as attractive as Tang Seng’s flesh, a real supplemental pill.

And whenever the Evil Qi couldn’t be controlled and leaked out, an endless stream of ghosts rushed toward him. Even with the Gu Family assigning masters to guard him around the clock, it made no difference.

Everyone has their moments of negligence; just one slip up, and at the age of fifteen, Gu Shi almost died at the hands of a powerful ghost. After being rescued, he still required a long time to recover, just barely managing to avoid becoming bedridden.
