CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 1: THE DISFIGURED WOMAN OF THE GHOST WORLD (PART 1)

After buying the items, Li Shuning returned home, only to realize that there were only tens of thousands left in her account.

Indeed, buying the small apartment initially cost quite a bit, and after resigning from her job, she made several purchases. With no income but expenditures, her money naturally dwindled.

Li Shuning felt a bit helpless. Looking for a job was unrealistic, as tasks descended without notice, and she always needed time to adjust or prepare upon returning.

She suddenly recalled that in the live-streaming world, she had taken a piece of gold, which seemed quite heavy.

Li Shuning decided to sell that piece of gold.

Some jewelry stores would still buy gold.

The piece of gold in Li Shuning’s hand was quite large, and with the gold price now at 420 per gram, it sold for over a hundred thousand. Although not a huge amount, it was enough to use for a while.

However, she needed to think it over and not focus solely on the tasks; she had to stabilize things in the real world too.

Li Shuning recalled her spiritual power, and after carefully sensing it, she stood up suddenly. Previously unnoticed, now with a closer look, she found that her spiritual power had increased rapidly.

After all, she hadn’t relaxed her spiritual cultivation even for a moment in the Cultivation World for thousands of years.

Her current spiritual power, according to Nadis Planet’s calculation method, should be considered Fourth Rank.

Fourth Rank, hypnosis and such were trivial matters. She could now even conduct a spiritual attack directly without any signs.

Just troubled by livelihood issues, she didn’t expect to gain such a benefit immediately.

According to what Li Shuning knew, people nowadays were under a lot of pressure, from work, family, education, etc., and many had more or less psychological problems.

Her hypnosis skills were outstanding. Could she establish a studio?

The more Li Shuning thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She could take a professional qualification exam.

Li Shuning deliberately bought books on this topic, planning to read them in this world and, if she went to other worlds, study them whenever she had time, so she could take the exam then.

"The host is about to go to a dangerous world, please be prepared."

Sitting on the bus, Li Shuning bought some vegetables and fruits, but unexpectedly heard the prompt from 006.

Honestly, she came out to take the bus inexplicably this time. Originally, she was reading at home, but inexplicably came out to buy groceries.

Maybe it was as if, when she was about to go on a task, she unconsciously came out?

"The host’s speculation is correct, please note, this task world is quite dangerous, please don’t think about trivial matters."

Li Shuning was speechless.

Li Shuning discovered she could move her hand, but strangely enough, it seemed she was soaked in some liquid, and her body was hard to move. Recalling what 006 said about the dangerous world, could it be she was already in trouble?

"Host, don’t panic; you haven’t been born yet, you are still inside the original host’s mother’s body."

Li Shuning breathed a sigh of relief: "006, I want to receive the plot."

"Okay, deducting 2 Space-Time Energy Points."

After receiving the plot, Li Shuning felt a bit helpless. It’s indeed as 006 said, a dangerous world.

This world is a strange, bizarre place with demons and spirits and talented individuals.

Li Shuning was born into a relatively poor family, but she had great talent. As a child, a Daoist took interest in her and taught her spells. She learned any magic quickly and with profound spiritual power, quickly surpassing her master.

No matter what demons or spirits, under her, they had no resistance and were eradicated.

She was strict with herself, dedicating her life to capturing demons and spirits, earning respect and love from people.

However, everything changed, and it was Li Shuning’s senior sister who changed it all.

Li Shuning’s master should be in his forties at this time, and her senior sister was also in her twenties.

In the original plot, Li Shuning’s master died at the hands of demons.

After the master’s departure, Li Shuning’s senior sister changed her style, starting to work for wealthy families, receiving payments.

Li Shuning opposed this, but to no avail. After several attempts at persuasion, she directly left the senior sister’s team, with a few fellow disciples following her.

As Li Shuning’s reputation grew, people willingly sought her help.

But the senior sister’s strength wasn’t great, and with high fees, gradually no one sought her out.

She even heard people comparing her to Li Shuning.

The senior sister felt disillusioned and ultimately died at the hands of a vengeful ghost.

However, after the senior sister passed away, she found herself back in her twenties, with her master still young, living a leisurely life.

Her most envied junior sister hadn’t been born yet either.

Thus, after Li Shuning was born, the senior sister secretly controlled a small ghost to target Li Shuning.

After Li Shuning’s mother gave birth to her, there were no elders at home, and everything had to be done by herself.

So she placed an old-fashioned rice cooker on the floor by the bed, usually boiling some porridge which could be drunk all day.

Li Shuning’s father was making a living outside, and although life was tough, the family was safe and happy.

While Li Shuning was still in swaddling clothes, her mother was recuperating postpartum. But as she went to the toilet, Li Shuning was pushed off the bed by that small ghost, falling into the rice cooker by the bed.

Inside the rice cooker was boiling porridge, with a spoon inside, the lid half-covered to prevent the porridge from boiling over.

Li Shuning’s head fell into the pot first. She was lucky, as her mother promptly discovered and rescued her, but her face was already destroyed.

The entire face was severely burned.

However, the chain of misfortune hadn’t ended.

In the original story, while playing outside, Li Shuning was noticed by her master. However, in this version, after being scalded, she never went out again and naturally never met her master.

Her talent naturally remained undiscovered.

Although her senior sister wasn’t strong, dealing with ordinary people like Li Shuning’s family was more than sufficient.

After the accident, Li Shuning’s parents adored her even more. They worked hard, hoping to earn enough money for plastic surgery to restore her face, fearing later difficulties in schooling and so on.

Li Shuning’s father had a small boat, usually going out with her mother to catch fish and shrimp to sell, living a frugal life. After five years, they painstakingly saved fifty thousand yuan, ready to take Li Shuning to the hospital.

But they had previously lent money to a friend in urgent need. Once the money was returned, they could visit the hospital.

At this time, the senior sister once again controlled a spirit monster, causing it to overturn Li Shuning’s parents’ boat. Although people making a living on the water could swim, the monster held them down, and they eventually drowned.

The friend who borrowed the money took advantage and embezzled the fifty thousand yuan.

Five-year-old Li Shuning, due to her scalded, grotesque face, was disowned by relatives and friends, with no one willing to take her in.

Fortunately, they still left some food at her door every day, so Li Shuning did not starve to death.

When Li Shuning was in her twenties, her senior sister and fellow disciples worked for wealthy clients again.

Without Li Shuning’s brilliance, her senior sister earned much money, with juniors to command, danger stayed away from her, and she lived a pretty good life.

However, she ruined Li Shuning’s life.
