Chapter 407: Chapter 411 Pen Fairy (10)

When that fortune-teller appeared before the original owner, he had already changed to a dog-like appearance, but he still possessed some intimidating skills.

As Su Li arrived at the third artificial lake she was searching for, she sensed something unusual.

The time was still short, and the fluctuating yin energy by the lake had not completely dispersed.

Invisible to the common eye, Su Li waved her hand, and the scattered shapeless yin mist gathered a forearm’s distance in front of her.

It then formed an image, imprinting the events of two days ago onto the yin mist, blurry but still roughly visible.

Indeed, that unfortunate soul had appeared here before.

Early in the morning, with few people around, for some reason, he had lost his mind, holding an English book and reading aloud by the poolside.

He was characteristically meticulous and always followed his plans, yet he disregarded his planned schedule and suddenly appeared here.

What followed seemed as if it had been rehearsed by fate.

The unlucky man, because of the thick morning fog, slipped and fell into the pool.

After a few splashes, he sank down, and the person who resurfaced had changed cores, no longer the silent, unlucky man.

His originally dull eyes became sharp and arrogant.

Despite his drenched and wretched appearance, he still carried himself as if he were the best in the world.

He frowned upon the body he inhabited, but he had to begrudgingly accept it.

Su Li coldly watched the man in the yin mist image, frowning and flinging his sleeves as he left; the same face that was once considered pleasant now looked utterly repellent.

Why didn’t lightning just strike this kid dead?

So arrogant, far too arrogant.

Since that ambitious master had already come, where had the original unlucky guy gone?

Su Li wasn’t too worried, though; despite missing the first chance to kill "Nangong Dao," the unlucky man still had something she had given him, which kept him from being devoured by the other’s soul.

He should still be safely within his own body, merely suppressed from surfacing.

Once she disposed of this annoying master, he could take control of his own body.

With a wave of her hand, she shattered the gathered yin mist and then Su Li turned and drifted away.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Just as Su Li was pondering where to find "Nangong Dao," he appeared right in front of her.

Only two days had passed since their last encounter, and Nangong Dao, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, revealed his sharp edges.

His features were the same, not much had changed, but the previously unnoticed and ignored persona now seemed much more striking.

At the very least, one couldn’t overlook his presence anymore.

If one were to describe that sensation, it was like his features had been slightly adjusted, the gloomy face clearing like clouds parting, impressing into one’s heart.

Especially his haughty attitude, those unaware of his limits would never believe that the man before them was just an ordinary, poor student from an ordinary family.

Setting aside his plain clothes, one might think he was some noble young master out experiencing life.

With one glance, Su Li could tell that his current soul’s state was not very stable, certainly not fitting well.

She wondered if Nangong Dao had experienced this situation when he first possessed a body in his previous life; at any rate, now he looked like someone who had stealthily worn someone else’s ill-fitting clothes, uncomfortable from the inside out.

Only those with a certain level of spiritual attainment could see this mismatch; other than those sensitive to such feelings, others wouldn’t notice anything off.

As time advanced, this condition would only lessen until his soul fully merged into this body.

At that time, this body would completely become that of the outsider.

Would Su Li let this happen?

Absolutely not.

In his previous life, this outsider had come bearing a pair of Heavenly Eyes.

Su Li stood boldly in the middle of the road, blocking Nangong Dao’s path like a roadblock tiger.

The students around her ignored her, but it didn’t affect her from striking her most aesthetically pleasing pose.

Nangong Dao, with a look of disdain, tugged at his clothes, frowning as he pondered how he could strike it rich.

Back in the unstable era of his previous life, he had never worn such poor-quality clothing; it was truly unbearable.

The cheap scent of the fabric made his skin crawl.

Actually, the clothes on Nangong Dao were already a lot more upscale than what the original owner had worn.

They were of medium quality; the texture was definitely not as bad as Nangong Dao believed, all being affordable brand products.

He had set up a fortune-telling booth near the bridge these past two days.

This era was completely different from the one he had lived through previously, with its goods and bads.

The bad part was, many people considered him a worldly society charlatan, completely disbelieving in his ability to compute the Heavenly Mechanism.

In his previous life, many nobles would beg him with treasures to tell their fortune, and it still depended on his mood whether to oblige or not.

As for those who dared to offend him, their graves had grown over with grass eight hundred years ago.

But this time, he stooped so low as to tell fortunes for a mere token fee, without anyone showing up, and even had local ruffians demanding protection money.

It was simply... If it weren’t for the minimal strength left in his body, those people...

A fierce flash passed through Nangong Dao’s eyes.

No one had ever offended him and gotten away with it.

Nangong Dao felt that even a trivial fee was a lot for common people.

Ten thousand yuan for one fortune-telling; only someone out of their mind would go for it.

After two consecutive days without business and his stomach growling, Nangong Dao had to reduce his divination fee again and again, finally managing to trick an idiot into getting a fortune told.

He made a meager few hundred yuan.

He hadn’t spent much when the money was already gone.

After dining fully, Nangong Dao also bought himself better clothes than before.

Once the money was spent, Nangong Dao no longer wanted to waste time telling fortunes under the bridge; his pride wouldn’t allow it.

Just now on the street, he seemed to hear someone discussing that the school’s Beauties had encountered a ghost.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire; Nangong Dao analyzed carefully and was sure that the Beauties had encountered something unclean.

That’s good...

After looking up several Beauties’ information, Nangong Dao got even more interested.

They were all Beauties, indeed; he loved beautiful women the most.

All along the way, Nangong Dao was planning in his mind how to approach those Beauties.

He heard not only were they beautiful, but they also came from good families.

Nangong Dao stroked his chin, revealing a wickedly charming smile.

This aggressive, handsome smile, of course, was Nangong Dao’s own consideration.

In his previous life, he had heard his women endlessly praising him.

They said his smile was the most charming in the world.

His smile made their legs so weak they could hardly walk.

Nangong Dao thought they had a point.

Only, Nangong Dao’s self-proclaimed hormone-releasing smile, in Su Li’s eyes, looked utterly sleazy and disgustingly creepy.

One look, and you knew his mind was filled with nothing but obscene trash.
