The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits
Chapter 410 - 414: Pen Fairy (13)

Chapter 410: Chapter 414: Pen Fairy (13)

The unforeseen took her completely by surprise.

Su Li had not expected the small stone bead to disappear between her fingers so suddenly; the next second, she felt a warm sensation in her consciousness.

The stone bead had actually embedded itself into her soul, and no matter how hard Su Li tried, she couldn’t pry it out.

Despite not understanding the intricacies of this object, Su Li couldn’t bring herself to feel joy, even though she knew it was something valuable.

Her disdain for the culprit behind all this only intensified.

"Hmph, giving you a few more moments of life is already too good for your ugly face."

In just a few breaths, Su Li appeared in front of "Nangong Dao."

"Nangong Dao" thought he had finally escaped the grasp of the female ghost, seeing that he was already disintegrating by half, desperately maintaining his form; he wished he could devour her whole.

After expending his greatest and most secretive trump card, at last, the figure of the female ghost was nowhere to be seen behind him.

"Nangong Dao" had a faint realization that it was the Divine Pearl that allowed him to wake up in this world once more.

"Divine Pearl" was the name he gave to that bead, even after spending a lifetime, he still couldn’t figure out what it was.

But that didn’t delay his use of it to climb to the peak of his life.

Inside was a vast treasure trove; he could only touch the outermost corner, a wealth of Xuanxue knowledge that allowed him to leap into fame as a master, and he possessed many other techniques as well.

But now...

"Nangong Dao" was crouching in a dark corner, his mind filled with surging hatred, twisting even the air around him.

He was so preoccupied with his fury that he neglected his own condition.

By the time he realized something was wrong, his lower body had already vanished.

His eyes were wide with fury, his teeth chattering as he watched his soul turn into tiny points of light, dispersing without a trace with the passing wind.

When Su Li caught up, she saw "Nangong Dao’s" little eyes bulge to the extreme, his mouth silently screaming as his eyes conveyed a desperate plea, even reaching out in Su Li’s direction for help.

"Save me, I can do anything for you... I can even become your Ghost Servant..."

His quivering lips barely managed to convey his message.

Su Li: "..." Had he forgotten that she, too, was the Evil Ghost that wanted him dead?

"Stop staring, you ugly fuck, you don’t deserve to ask for anything looking like that."

Su Li didn’t offer even a shred of kindness to "Nangong Dao" in his last moments, directly stabbing him at his most humiliating point.

It’s often the case that people are most concerned with what they lack.

Who would have known that what "Nangong Dao" cared about the most was his exceedingly average appearance, lacking a domineering presence, which led him to transform himself into an incredibly handsome man in his last life?

Even in this life, the first burst of Spiritual Power he had cultivated was mostly used to modify his acquired skin.

Su Li didn’t even have time to slap the detestable "Nangong Dao" before his soul disintegrated entirely.

Perhaps even "Nangong Dao" himself hadn’t imagined that the consequence of using his last resort, the "Divine Pearl," would be more than he could bear.

Su Li felt a stifling frustration stuck in her throat, making her immensely uncomfortable.

She didn’t even get to vent her fury on the mastermind before he got his just deserts and not even half a soul fragment remained.

Because of that stone bead, Su Li couldn’t find a ghost to unleash her anger on.

It was just... infuriating...

She moodily returned to Mingrui University, and at the main entrance of the school, the unlucky fellow was nowhere to be seen.

While Su Li was chasing "Nangong Dao," the unfortunate soul had passed out on the ground and was probably taken to the infirmary by now.

The original owner’s enemy had been eliminated, so Su Li had no longer intended to linger around the hapless egg.

Sure enough, her mood was very bad.

At this time, a strange woman appeared in the school, panic-stricken and wandering aimlessly across the campus.

When kind-hearted students stepped forward wanting to help, but when they asked her what was wrong, she merely shook her head, tears streaming down, silent and unresponsive.

She seemed to be looking for someone, or perhaps searching for something.

If students asked too many questions, she would turn away with a distressed look and flee.

This strange woman also had a habit of darting into the more secluded areas of the school, which eventually led to students avoiding her altogether.

-------------

Shu Ya had been wandering Mingrui University for two or three days now, not having eaten a bite of food during this time. When she could no longer stand the hunger, she would cup her hands under the faucet outside the restroom to drink a few mouthfuls of water.

There was no time left, time was running out.

The baby’s presence was clearly felt here, why can’t it be found?

She had searched every corner of Mingrui University, including those places brimming with yin energy at night.

There was indeed something there, but it was not what she was looking for.

The baby had said that person was very powerful, extremely powerful... she might surely be able to help them.

Su Li, however, had no idea someone was searching for her, sitting attentively in the old professor’s lecture.

Live as long as you learn, as long as you become a ghost, the steps of learning must not stop.

She really was fantastic!!!

Perhaps Shu Ya really had a fated connection with Su Li.

On her third day wandering the campus, she finally encountered Su Li.

If Su Li had been unwilling, Shu Ya would never have found her, but Su Li still had a profound impression of the Little Ghost Baby’s mother.

With just one glance, she knew that something had happened to the Little Ghost Baby.

She sighed deeply, recalling the Little Ghost Baby’s soft, tender smile, and her step to leave suddenly paused.

Shu Ya stood desperately under the shade of a tree, collapsing to the ground, her face buried in her palms, teardrops seeping through her fingers.

"Mama’s useless, can’t save you..."

The next moment she raised her head, her eyes flashed with determination, "But don’t be scared, baby, mama won’t let those who hurt you get away with it."

She stood up, tidied her messy hair, and when she stepped out again, all traces of panic and disarray had vanished.

She had become again the capable, strong woman in charge of a huge publicly listed corporation.

From that moment on, she had no vulnerabilities, she would be unbreakable.

"What happened to Little Treasure?" Shu Ya, expressionless and sitting upright with eyes closed, suddenly heard a refined female voice by her ear.

She opened her eyes in shock.

Because of her vigorous movement, she didn’t realize that she was sitting in a speeding car, and her head banged against the roof of the car.

The worried driver asked from the front, "President Shu..."

Shu Ya quickly subdued the expression on her face, repressing the turbulence within her, and said indifferently, "It’s nothing, keep driving."

Despite her acted calm, her trembling hands betrayed her unstable emotions.

She sat down slowly but could not help glancing incessantly at the seat cushion beside her.

Though it was clearly empty, it seemed as if someone was slowly sitting down, the cushion dipping inwards.
