CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 101: HIT ME? YOU DARE TO HIT ME? (6K) - PART 2

"Do you mean, ’The hunter gets hunted today’?" Yan Xiaohu blurted out in astonishment after finally reacting.

Zhou Qing nodded.

Isn’t it clear enough?

"Damn it—" Yan Xiaohu’s face turned red with anger. He immediately soared into the sky, his formidable Divine Sense searching furiously.

Humiliation! This is a severe insult to my intelligence!

Not only that, but he also slapped me, and I happily gave him a thousand Spirit Stones.

Damn it, all these years, except for Old Mo, no one else has ever slapped me, and it was a woman!

This is intolerable!

Zhou Qing also hurriedly joined in searching.

Unfortunately, not a trace could be found.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

After coming back down, Yan Xiaohu stomped his feet in anger, his whole body trembling.

He had never suffered such a huge loss in his entire life.

Zhou Qing immediately apologized: "I’m sorry, Third Senior Brother..."

"It’s not your fault. I went through all the women I’ve ever met in my mind. I even thought it might be Second Senior Sister playing a prank on us," Yan Xiaohu spat and cursed.

Hearing Yan Xiaohu’s words, Zhou Qing felt as if something flashed through his mind.

He quickly made a gesture for silence, then showed a look of contemplation.

The way Su Wanli spoke just now seemed inexplicably familiar, and she was extremely familiar with Third Senior Brother.

Especially after slapping him and taking the money, she even said it was interest.

What interest?

And she knew him, yet seemed very unfamiliar.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing thought of something and immediately looked at Third Senior Brother, shouting, "It was her!"

"Who?" Yan Xiaohu asked anxiously.

Zhou Qing said, "The female ghost from Cyan Wood City."

"Li Shitao?" Yan Xiaohu was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted.

Thinking it over carefully, yes, it was really her!

That look, that tone of voice, who else would know better than him?

"She successfully possessed someone?" Zhou Qing exclaimed.

Yan Xiaohu frowned deeply, "It seems so."

The last time they met was in Ghost City, surrounded by the Blood Tai Sui. It was she who guided everyone out to escape.

However, later Mo Xingjian willingly exposed himself, dueling with the Tai Sui and people from the Cangyan Daoist Palace, scaring her into fleeing, and she disappeared.

"That woman, her desire for revenge is too strong. I wonder how she got to Lingyun Mansion all along the way. What happened during this period?" Yan Xiaohu muttered to himself while stroking his neck repeatedly.

Zhou Qing shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

...

"Sister Wanli, what happened?" asked Xiao Cancan, panting as they hid in a corner.

Li Shitao cautiously looked around before letting out a sigh of relief, having confirmed Yan Xiaohu wasn’t following.

She didn’t expect to meet him here since they parted ways in Ghost City.

Everything felt like a dream.

Back then, she didn’t know what cultivation technique Yan Xiaohu used to cut off an arm of a Nascent Soul level Yin Spirit.

Such a thing was an excellent supplement for her, and she even risked taking it.

The subsequent events need no elaboration; in short, after escaping Ghost City, she wandered aimlessly, living carefree.

Who knows how long had passed when she found a couple battling a Bear Demon.

They seemed very angry, and upon closer inspection, she saw a boy’s corpse on the ground with a large bloody hole in his belly.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

The final outcome was that the Bear Demon fled wounded, the man was killed on the spot, and the woman was on the verge of death.

She floated over to observe, and upon noticing her, the woman offered herself for possession.

The condition was to bury the family together instead of leaving their bodies to be eaten by Demon Beasts.

Of course, she eagerly accepted since the woman was in the Golden Core Realm.

In the end, she became Su Wanli, gaining a new body.

After setting up a ceremonial tomb, she returned to Lingyun Mansion and began a new life.

Also, by absorbing some memories, she easily integrated into the new environment, meeting many new friends like the one before her.

Facing Xiao Cancan’s inquiry, Li Shitao calmed her breath and said, "It’s nothing, just joking around. I have money today. Let me treat you to something delicious."

"Wanli, you’re worrying me. We’ve known each other for years. After what happened to my brother-in-law and Ke Di, I know you’re sad, though you seem happy. I know it’s from extreme grief."

"How about we find a place to have a good cry? It’ll make you feel better!" Xiao Cancan said with concern.

Li Shitao felt both warm and amused.

I am truly happy; you insist I cry, but I can’t.

From another perspective, taking someone’s appearance is like continuing their life.

She too once had flesh and blood; having experienced death, she deeply understood this.

"Don’t worry, I’m really fine. I just want to spend money now. Will you keep me company?" Li Shitao said.

Xiao Cancan certainly agreed, just having learned about Wanli’s family misfortune a couple of days ago.

So, she had specially asked Wanli out to cheer her up, racking her brains to escape from home again.
