Chapter 105: Chapter 95 Business (Two in One)_3

Clearly, Zhao Qi had little patience. He coldly said, "Do you know how troublesome it is to imprint a Spiritual Imprint on that woman? Those earrings are the top-tier A-class seal items!"

However, the man demonstrated an entirely opposite demeanor.

He listened to Zhao Qi’s words with interest, calmly accepting the other’s anger, and even extended two slender fingers from the palm resting on his thigh to gently tap the back of his other hand.

"It’s because I believed your seamless plan before," Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, his forehead gradually breaking out in cold sweat, "Now that the Spiritual Imprint has been removed... she must be starting to suspect me."

In Dadu District, there are still many fools who cling to the stupid belief that this woman relies solely on her looks and the Zhao Family’s power to maintain her high position... Only those who have crossed swords with the Lady know how terrifying this woman can be.

For instance... Zhao Qi.

This marriage alliance, which he couldn’t resist, was in fact dominated by Lu Nanzhi alone—a "battlefield" where, over the years of their marital conflict, he had lost miserably, without any say or status, eventually left with nothing but the empty title of Zhao Family’s heir... Lu Nanzhi’s performance had won everyone’s recognition, especially the elder Mr. Zhao’s.

"Mr. Zhao... don’t belittle yourself."

The man, who had been quietly listening all this while, finally broke the silence.

He earnestly cheered up Zhao Qi, his tone sincere, "You are the heir of the Zhao Family, the only son... the elder Mr. Zhao wouldn’t favor outsiders... right?"

As he spoke, he saw a change in Zhao Qi’s expression, so the last comforting sentence had to be reluctantly ended with the words "right?"

"The original will... has been annulled."

Zhao Qi’s voice was hoarse, "The new will hasn’t been posted yet... This matter will soon be known throughout the entire Da Du."

The man sitting opposite was slightly surprised, his lips forming an ’o’.

Even though he was calm in face of disaster, this news still shocked him.

It was truly an unexpected turn of events; the elder Mr. Zhao... making such a move, although the new will had not been established, the annulment of the old will was a clear forewarning.

"That really is... terrible."

He spoke half in amazement and half in regret. Yet, his tone sounded indifferent, as if it was a matter of no consequence to him, "But I still believe that the elder would never decide to change the heir of the Zhao Family... Mr. Zhao, there’s no need for you to be too anxious."

"I can’t let that woman continue like this..."

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and calmly said, "You need to help me. Otherwise, we both die."

"..."

A blatant threat.

But the man still just smiled lightly and was not angered, "Mr. Zhao, you overestimate me too much. What I do can hardly be called helping. Only you can deal with Lu Nanzhi. In fact, I am just responsible for providing... methods."

Zhao Qi calmed himself and said.

"The original imprint is gone, what other methods do you have?"

"Two methods."

The man magically produced a black jade bead and softly laughed, "The original imprint was, in essence, just a test... Although Lu Nanzhi has a strong will, she lacks Extraordinary Ability, so her spiritual power is limited. No matter how powerful those earrings are, they are ultimately external objects and will be removed eventually. Mr. Zhao, since you were able to imprint once, you can do it a second time."

Zhao Qi frowned.

"With the experience from the last time, the ’Spiritual Imprint’ we plant this time can be bolder... not just causing Lu Nanzhi insomnia, but completely making this woman submit to you." The man calmly said, "This time’s Spiritual Imprint will be sealed inside the bead, still only one opportunity. When Lu Nanzhi removes the earrings, plant it again, and the high and mighty Lady of Da Du will from then on comply with Mr. Zhao’s words."

Zhao Qi took the black jade bead, examining it closely, and asked in a low voice.

"What are the side effects?"

"The side effects?..."

The man responded calmly and composedly, "This time’s Spiritual Imprint will directly extract the soul; the host will become delirious, and her reaction speed will slow down immensely... in some sense, she won’t be the Lady anymore, because she will gradually become an... idiot."

Zhao Qi fell silent, silently accepting the black jade bead.

"How about it... Mr. Zhao, are you worried about what will happen to the Zhao Family if Lu Nanzhi becomes an idiot?" The man smiled, "The Zhao Family is almost completely taken over by Lu Nanzhi, yet you still care about the empty name of husband and wife, you really are a great kind-hearted man with a Bodhisattva’s heart. By that time, you’ll be nothing but a penniless man."

"I don’t need your reminder," Zhao Qi coldly said, "What’s the second method?"

"The second method is also simple..."

The man pulled out a necklace, and said lightly, "This is an ordinary-looking necklace, whether in Da Du or Changye, aside from a very few Transcendents with unique traits, no one else can feel... the true essence contained in this necklace."

"True essence?"

"The reason we are able to converse here enjoyably is because our spirits wander through the void unimpeded, thus our bodies can still receive signals and feel inspired by them..."
