Chapter 536: Chapter 540: Who Touched My Body (12)

If they could temporarily switch the young girl’s identity, especially since the Zhang Family had shown interest in their latest project, the Zhang Family daughter’s defective appearance could be temporarily overlooked.

In fact, Mr. Cao had not been entirely clear with Su Xi about certain things, such as, once they entered the new body this time, if nothing went wrong, they might be bound to it forever with no other way to separate except through death.

Actually, Su Xi’s situation was one in a million. None of the master practitioners that Mr. Cao had invited had ever heard of a human’s soul being able to survive outside the body after death.

According to their knowledge and experience, generally when a person’s bodily functions declined, the consciousness weakened as well, not to mention being able to achieve body possession and obtain a new life.

If such an opportunity truly existed, the world would be in chaos.

Although they knew some Xuanxue spells, those were just the bread and butter handed down from their ancestors and were no longer adaptable to the era of rapid technological advancement.

If it weren’t for the protection of Young Master Cao, these people would have tied the individual up and taken them back for dissection and study.

Who knows, they might have been able to reproduce the great scenes of Xuanxue’s heyday.

Fortunately, Su Xi was unaware; she still dreamt sweetly of waiting for Su Li to return and then switching back.

The master practitioners danced wildly like a group of demons, yet Su Xi gradually felt the pulling force from a certain direction.

Soon, she felt a momentary haze, and the scene before her eyes changed.

She saw a young girl with open eyes, frail and powerless.

"Who are you?"

-----------

The ritual, which everyone thought was infallible, suddenly failed.

The backlash of the failed spell violently affected all the master practitioners.

Mr. Cao was a bit unlucky; he was close to one of them and got sprayed with a mouthful of filthy blood, which was utterly disgusting.

The now-returned Su Xi looked even more pitiful, reduced to two fist-sized grey clumps.

Thinking back to the scene just now, Su Xi couldn’t help but shudder with horror.

She hadn’t expected that girl to be so fierce, tearing and biting at her without mercy.

The incredibly weakened Su Xi felt Death’s summons, her piercing screams enough to rupture one’s eardrums.

"Zhiyu, save me, I don’t want to leave you..."

The failure of the ritual signified Su Xi’s fate...

Perhaps it was her destiny to survive, as Su Junjie and Zhuersi, who had been driven out of the villa, broke through numerous obstacles and hammered furiously at the front door, shouting madly outside, "Mr. Cao, Su Li, Su Li has come back..."

This voice bloomed like a flower of hope in a land of despair.

Su Xi couldn’t contain her longing anymore; her shrill voice, like a mouse’s squeal, was as if the most powerful sound waves piercing through the ear, "Zhiyu, Zhiyu... Su Li has been found, hurry, I can’t hold on much longer..."

Kindness, purity, conscience... In the face of life, these meant less than nothing.

Mr. Cao instinctively felt something was amiss; the person who had been missing for so long suddenly appeared before them, making him suspect there was a trap ahead.

But for Su Xi, this Xibei, the news was like a tremendous joy descending from the heavens, she wouldn’t care to ponder whether there might be any problems.

Mr. Cao’s secretary, who brought the news, had a strange look on his face, seemingly hesitant...

Still, Mr. Cao ordered, "Bring them here."

His strong self-confidence allowed him to fear no plots or schemes. Under these circumstances, he didn’t believe that the Su couple would dare to deceive him like this.

Su Junjie and Zhuersi were disheveled, with red eyes, as they were brought in; their daughter, Su Li, just as they said, had come back...

The problem was, what returned was a body devoid of any signs of life; in essence, they were looking at a corpse.

Mr. Cao was given quite a shock, not to mention the other so-called master practitioners present.

No matter how recklessly they usually behaved, the safety education in Yanhuang Country was quite stringent; they didn’t have the courage to face a corpse directly, lest they get invited for tea by the police uncle.

Everyone was very nervous, fearing to be implicated in this affair.

Although what they were originally trying to do was not fundamentally different from actual murder, they could still make various excuses on the surface. Furthermore, as long as the organism hadn’t been physically harmed, the law had no grounds to penalize them.

But now it was different; a fresh corpse suddenly appearing before them meant all those involved couldn’t escape.

The master practitioners hurriedly made their excuses to leave, "Mr. Cao, we have other business, we must go now."

When Su Junjie and Zhuersi regained some calm after their initial frenzy, they also felt some regret.

After all, they had raised their daughter for eighteen years; losing her like this did tug at their hearts.

Such emotions couldn’t last for more than a few seconds. Su Junjie and Zhuersi instead calmed down; given the situation, their daughter would surely have wanted them to live well for the rest of their lives.

That’s why, after receiving their daughter’s remains, the Su couple immediately brought her to the villa.

It was sad to think about the original owner; her entire value amounted to nothing more than a bargaining chip that would allow her biological parents to live a better life.

Su Junjie: "I really didn’t expect the child to have such a temper. She said she wanted to return the six jin and eight liang of flesh and blood from when we birthed her, and now she’s really returned it with interest."

Speaking of the person who brought their daughter’s body to them, having also given them a severance letter written by Su Li herself, Su Junjie became angry.

The letter read: Since you feel that I owe you so much, it’s just because of the initial six jin and eight liang of flesh and blood. Now, the entire body weighing about ninety-two jin and measuring one meter sixty-five, I’ve grown this flesh and blood with my own efforts, all returned to you with interest as payment, so for the rest of our lives, we owe each other nothing.

The so-called bonds of father and daughter, mother and daughter, ought to disperse with one clap. Wish you well.

Su Junjie and Zhuersi were angry at being challenged by their child, and their little compassion was not as important when compared to a future of glory and wealth.

No matter what, whether it was this Su Li or that Su Li, they were legally her biological parents.

Su Xi: "Zhiyu..."

Mr. Cao couldn’t afford to think too much and, seeing Xixi’s shadow about to disintegrate, had to suppress the many doubts in his heart.

He pinned down the uneasy master practitioners and said, "Start now, otherwise I’ll send you all to the jail."

Inside the original Su Family villa, another commotion ensued, but this time without incident, Su Xi was indeed returned to her body.

A sense of groundedness brought her extraordinary comfort.

As soon as she felt comforted, the mischievous tail began to wag again.
