CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 1: LITTLE PEARL OF THE CULTIVATION WORLD (PART 1)

Thank you for the reward from "Doomsday Mushroom" classmate, muah~

*********************************

Li Shuning took a good rest, lying in her own warm little bed. She let out a sigh of relief for no reason; being home is still the best.

In the Task World, after staying for so many years, she actually worried everytime, worried about losing herself in the Task World, but fortunately, she made it through.

With a roll, she got up and dressed, preparing to go home to see her mom and dad.

In her current life, nobody knows what will happen in the next moment, so it’s better to spend more time with family during the limited time she has.

She had just stepped out the door when she discovered someone was squatting at the entrance. That person’s face was full of wrinkles, with a head of white hair. Li Shuning couldn’t help but frown, she didn’t seem to know this person, what was this person doing at her door?

When the person saw Li Shuning, they excitedly stood up.

"Miss Li, can I talk to you?"

"Host, this is the former host, the one who threw the ticket to you."

Li Shuning remembered, 006 had mentioned before, if you throw away the ticket, then the karma of going to other worlds must be borne by that person themselves.

The woman in front of her had become so old, she likely brought this upon herself? What was she here for now? And how did she find her?

Li Shuning stepped aside, letting the woman into the house. Whatever the case, talking at the door wasn’t convenient.

"Who are you, what do you want from me?" Li Shuning asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Miss Li, my name is Song Lele, you don’t know me, but I know you. Do you remember walking past you at the bullet train station in XM?"

Li Shuning frowned, pretending to recall: "Sorry, I don’t seem to remember you."

Song Lele became a bit anxious. At the time, she had lost control of her emotions and threw away the ticket. She regretted it after throwing it away. The ticket brought her harm but also benefits. How could she have thrown it away?

And a month later, she regretted it even more. Her appearance was aging, and her physical functions were declining.

She went to the hospital for a check-up and was told she had an unknown disease that was destroying her body’s functions.

She was only 23 years old, she didn’t want to die like this.

So she withdrew all the money she could from home, used some of it to bribe a ticket seller at the bullet train station to find all passengers’ ID photos and ticket information in the carriage where Li Shuning was on the day.

She came to find Li Shuning this time to reclaim the ticket.

"Miss Li, I came to you this time to say that I bumped into you on the platform back then, and my ticket fell into your bag. I didn’t notice at the time. It wasn’t until later that I found the ticket missing, and then I realized something might have fallen when I bumped into you."

Li Shuning feigned a surprised look: "Ticket? What ticket? Was it a bullet train ticket? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. After getting on, I looked at my phone for a while, later stuffed the phone in my bag, and didn’t see any ticket."

Song Lele was a bit doubtful, could it be the ticket was not with Li Shuning?

"Ms. Song, I really don’t know you or what ticket you’re talking about. Besides, to be honest, it’s been so long, that ticket should be of no use by now, right? I quit my job because I was often on business trips and was pretty tired. I’ve been busy looking for a job lately and really haven’t had time to accommodate you. I’m truly sorry, I can’t help you."

The ticket was now hidden in the Space Button, which was linked to her consciousness. It was impossible to find the ticket.

"Miss Li, this is meaningless. Let’s be frank, that ticket is very important to me. And not just one person possesses such tickets. If I expose the fact that you have the ticket, don’t think you’ll have an easy life in the future. If you return the ticket to me, I will compensate you."

Li Shuning sneered inside, this Song Lele is really disgusting. When she didn’t want it, she threw the ticket to her. Why did she throw it to her? There were definitely some dark reasons in her heart, and there were others on the platform at the time.

"Host, during that time, Song Lele happened to experience the Task World and was in great pain. Seeing you so happy and carefree, she threw the ticket to you."

Li Shuning was fuming.

Her peaceful life was disrupted, and now she had to enter various Task Worlds, all caused by Song Lele.

Now she wants the ticket back and comes asking for it. How could there be such a good deal in the world?

Now she is the host of the ticket, returning the ticket to her would mean becoming like her current self; sacrificing herself for her, who does she think she is? And saying it so righteously about giving compensation, can money compensate for life?

And she dares to threaten her, truly shameless.

"Ms. Song, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve said I’ve never seen the ticket you mentioned. If your ticket is really missing and important to you, you can report it to the police to find it. If you believe it’s on me, you can report it to the police and have them come search my house for the ticket you’ve mentioned."

Li Shuning’s attitude was very firm, and Song Lele became a bit hesitant. Could it be that after she threw the ticket into Li Shuning’s small bag, it got lost afterward?

If Li Shuning hadn’t entered the Task World, losing the ticket again wouldn’t affect her.

Where was the ticket? Was there really no way? She didn’t have much time left.

Song Lele was lingering around, while Li Shuning pretended to be very irritated: "If that’s the case, why don’t you search properly, see if I have the ticket you’re talking about? If not, and you still won’t leave, don’t blame me for calling the police. I really don’t know what you’re doing mysteriously appearing in my home, nor how you know my name and address."

Song Lele went along with it and really searched Li Shuning’s home.

Li Shuning’s small apartment wasn’t big, and there wasn’t a lot of stuff, so the search was completed quickly. Song Lele, still unwilling, searched the bag Li Shuning carried, but there wasn’t any ticket.

Song Lele seemed lost, there wasn’t, there really wasn’t. If the ticket was with Li Shuning, it would definitely be carried with her, otherwise, how could she enter the Task World? However, there wasn’t, which meant the ticket might have been obtained by someone else, but she didn’t have time.

Before she left, Li Shuning directly hypnotized Song Lele, making her forget about the ticket and immediately book a ticket to return home.

Song Lele left, and at this moment, Li Shuning didn’t feel well either, collapsing on the ground exhausted. She had expended all her spiritual power.

Her spiritual power hadn’t even reached First Rank, but it was still enough for hypnotizing ordinary people.

Originally, she didn’t want to do this, but even though Song Lele had searched and that expression worried Li Shuning, she didn’t want any more accidents. If the people of this world knew she had the ticket, this was the real world. She didn’t want to implicate her family, so she had no choice but to hypnotize.

After resting for a few days, Li Shuning went to her mom’s place and had meals for a few days. On her way home, she heard a news story on the subway.

It was about a woman who contracted an unknown disease, her bodily functions were inexplicably destroyed, and in just a few months, a healthy young girl aged rapidly.

Li Shuning speculated it must be Song Lele, but she wouldn’t sympathize with her.

"Host is about to go to the Immortal World, highly dangerous, please be prepared."

Li Shuning was speechless, what could she prepare for? Just told it’s about to happen...
