Chapter 535: Chapter 539: Who Touched My Body (Part 11)

Different from Su Li’s situation, the Su Family was truly driven to madness.

The most anxious and furious one was Cao Zhiyu. Three to four months had passed, and Su Li had vanished without a trace, just like a fish slipping into the sea. It was as if she had evaporated into thin air.

He didn’t realize that Su Li, who had become the core spiritual soul of the top-secret project, had information that was beyond his reach.

If it weren’t for a message from Su Li, the series of actions he took concerning her would have long since resulted in him being taken away by the relevant authorities.

Even with the wealth and power that the Cao Family possessed, it was limited to this city only. To some of the big shots, he was still insignificant.

Yet, Cao Zhiyu was unaware that he had already skirted dangerously close to sealing his own fate, and he continued tirelessly searching for Su Li.

The people of the Su Family and the Zhu Family, including the married couple Su Junjie and Zhuersi, were worn out by Cao Zhiyu’s antics, yet they still couldn’t force Su Li to appear.

Cao Zhiyu was out of options. Su Xi’s spiritual body in a disembodied state could barely persist for three to five days; even after spending a great deal of money to employ masters who used their ultimate skills, they could only maintain her condition until now. Three to five months was already the limit.

If she didn’t make a choice soon, she might face the risk of dissipation.

Originally, Su Xi’s blurry silhouette had a discernible shape, but now, it was just a dim and insubstantial cloud, so fragile that it seemed a mere breeze could scatter it.

Facing this situation, Su Xi herself was probably the most afraid.

Having enjoyed a wonderful life in her past life that she could never have dreamt of, she was the most terrified of dying.

Not to mention the wealth, the looks, and having a wealthy, handsome boss as a boyfriend, which was enough to make others envious—something many people couldn’t achieve in several lifetimes.

Her good days were still ahead of her; how could she bear to dissipate?

Because of this, Su Xi, this Xibei merchandise, harbored a lot of resentment towards Su Li and even more grievances towards Su Junjie and Zhuersi, her adoptive parents.

She treated them like her own biological parents, but look at how they were treating her.

Absolutely useless. After such a long time, they still hadn’t made Su Li appear.

Su Xi always felt that they weren’t trying their best. Instead of stopping her boyfriend from tormenting her adoptive parents, they were actually adding fuel to the fire.

Despite persisting until now, the living conditions of the Su Family were even more destitute and miserable than two years ago, still to no avail.

That Su Li seemed to have made up her mind to be an unfilial daughter.

In the end, Su Xi could only reluctantly agree to another plan, as advised by the masters.

Su Li’s body had the highest compatibility with her. To find another ownerless body with such high compatibility in a short time was simply a fool’s dream.

Cao Zhiyu had used most of the Cao Family’s influence but only managed to find a passable body for Su Xi, this Xibei merchandise, within the city.

It was the body of a woman who had been lying in a vegetative state in the hospital for five years. Not to mention the deterioration of bodily functions due to the long coma and her pallid, colorless face, just the appearance alone of this female body greatly dissatisfied Su Xi.

Having been accustomed to the beautiful appearance of her previous body in the mirror, seeing this one, which was so lacking in comparison, was like asking someone who was accustomed to eating abalone and sea cucumber to settle for coarse rice and vegetables.

It was hard to swallow, and Su Xi could never be satisfied.

Moreover, having experienced her previous life, her obsession with appearance had become a pathological craving.

Her deepest, hidden fear was that, after assuming the appearance of an ordinary person, she might not be able to make Cao Zhiyu love her devotedly as before.

Men are swayed by both desire and appearance.

Initially, the so-called love at first sight he claimed to have for her was nothing more than lust at first sight.

Su Li’s skin was indeed beautiful to a certain realm.

"Zhiyu, is Su Li truly gone? I could hold on for a bit more." Su Xi’s obviously frail voice belied her words.

Due to the destined connection between the two, the ordinary gray mass invisible to normal people was visible to Cao Zhiyu.

It was because of this that after Su Xi was bewilderingly squeezed out of her body, she subconsciously drifted towards Cao Zhiyu, and he discovered her almost immediately.

In the past life, the original owner had decided to break up with Cao Zhiyu but never revealed the truth, only explaining that they were incompatible. The quick response of the duo from the Su family to confine the original owner also hinged on this fact.

But now, Cao Zhiyu’s sensory experience wasn’t great.

Occasionally catching sight of a floating spiritual body next to him, he could console himself that it was his beloved girl.

But being suddenly frightened on a daily basis wasn’t pleasant at all.

Moreover, that dirty gray mass really started to disturb him.

Being initially drawn to the original owner’s looks had shown that Cao Zhiyu was a concealed admirer of beauty.

Though later attracted by Su Xi’s unique, innocent personality unlike the other flamboyant vixens, he still couldn’t change his inherently male nature.

Liking good-looking, aesthetically pleasing girls.

Nevertheless, Cao Zhiyu wasn’t a complete scoundrel; he believed his love for Su Xi was genuine.

Faced with letting her dissipate or swapping to a less attractive body, he... perhaps should, could accept it.

"Xixi, don’t worry, this is definitely temporary. Once we find Su Li, you can switch back."

"If we continue like this, you might..."

She was no clearer on her condition than Su Xi, it was just too hard to accept.

Ultimately, the fear of absolute death prevailed, "Alright, alright... then you must quicken the pace to find Su Li, the masters said that Su Li’s body has the highest compatibility with me, I want to stay with you for a long time."

Cao Zhiyu was also moved by Su Xi’s tender, slightly proud voice and couldn’t help but recall the blissful times they had shared together, his heart momentarily turning soft.

He loved that sprightly, somewhat wilful demeanor of hers the most.

With Su Xi’s consent, some strange rituals commenced at the Cao family’s villa.

Red paper-wrapped packages containing hair and nails were placed in the center of a pentagram.

A wooden tablet inscribed with Zhang Min’s birth chart was also prepared.

Oh, right, Zhang Min was that poor girl lying in the hospital, already in a vegetative state.

Basically judged to be terminal, she was only still there because her family hadn’t given up, though revival was impossible.

Knowing the identity of this unfortunate girl gave Su Xi some comfort.

The Zhang family, while not comparable to the Cao family, was quite substantial.

Initially, despite being the CEO, Cao Zhiyu faced pressure from his family elders when dating her, given the dire state of the Su family.

This also served as evidence that Cao Zhiyu deeply loved the girl.
