Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Ruanruan: Would you give me a billion too?

After Qin Ruan finished speaking, she didn’t bother with Lili’s pale face and walked towards Li Xiao.

The girl’s face was vacant as if she had lost her soul.

Fortunately, she had not hastily tried to recall Li Xiao’s soul earlier. Otherwise, the damage caused by the Puppet’s second possession would have been even greater.

Qin Ruan extended her delicate fingers and touched Li Xiao’s forehead.

In an instant, Li Xiao’s soul returned to her body, her eyes gradually regained focus from their previously blank stare.

She blinked lightly, her gaze lost as if she had no idea what happened.

Seeing her back to normal, Qin Ruan didn’t say anything and returned to Ling Xiaoxuan’s side.

"Let’s go."

"Alright!" Ling Xiaoxuan was in awe.

She saw Qin Ruan’s movements clearly. She merely touched Li Xiao, and she woke up. It was incredible.

However, Lili was freaking out. "There’s still over ten hours until nightfall. What if that thing harms me again?"

Qin Ruan turned her head back, her eyebrows furrowed. "It’s not ’that thing’, it’s your child."

"But it wants to kill me!"

Lili was exploding with frustration and hatred.

Qin Ruan was feeling exasperated. "It won’t. It won’t possess anyone or harm you for a short while. Your priority now is to prepare for tonight and look for a Buddhist temple or Taoist temple as soon as possible."

"But I don’t understand what to do. Who should I ask for help? You can see it, can’t you? Help me. I’ll pay you. Any amount is fine."

Perhaps it was her aggressive tone that prompted Qin Ruan to laugh. "Would you be willing to give me one hundred million yuan?"

Her laughter was mocking and full of disdain.

"..." Lili was dumbfounded.

One hundred million yuan? That’s blatant profiteering.

Just as she was about to say something, Qin Ruan grabbed Ling Xiaoxuan’s arm and left.

"Don’t leave! What should I do? You can’t just leave me here!" Lili huffily rushed after them.

Qin Ruan’s patience was wearing thin as she shot an irritable glance at Lili.

"That’s none of my business. I’ve told you how to send the Puppet away. The rest is up to you. As long as you’re sincere, you don’t have to worry about anything."

Lili shouted, "I don’t have one hundred million yuan, but would one million be enough? I’m really scared!"

Qin Ruan was unmoved and didn’t reply.

She didn’t lack money, nor did she wish to meddle in Lili’s affairs any more than necessary.

Her character was clearly selfish and hypocritical. The woman deserved her fate.

All Lili could do was watch as Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan left.

"Lili?"

Li Xiao’s call came from behind her.

She seemed disoriented and terrified.

Li Xiao’s spirited body was back, along with all her memory.

What she had experienced had greatly shocked her. The fear-induced distortion made her face extremely pale.

Lili turned back and glared at Li Xiao. "Stop shouting, you slut!"

She had placed the blame for her previous injuries caused by the Puppet on Li Xiao.

But Li Xiao was scared to death and ran towards her.

"Lili! He’s back! He’s coming for us!"

Seeing Li Xiao run towards her, Lili panicked due to her previous traumas and sprinted away.

As she ran, she cursed, "Stay away from me, you slut!"

As Li Xiao was no longer possessed by the Puppet, she had lost her previous eerie abilities and was relying on her physical strength to chase Lili.

The two girls darted across the field, their comic chase providing a unique mix of shock and humor.

Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan headed to the library at a leisurely pace as if they were taking a stroll.

All along the way, Ling Xiaoxuan’s brows were knitted tightly.

She would glance at Qin Ruan from time to time but didn’t voice her thoughts.

When Ling Xiaoxuan glanced over again, Qin Ruan finally couldn’t stand it.

"If you have something to say, just say it. You’re making me feel like I’ve done something wrong."

"Hahaha..." Ling Xiaoxuan laughed, "I’m just a little curious."

"About what?" Qin Ruan casually took a textbook from Ling Xiaoxuan for the afternoon class.

"You said girls who were forced to have an abortion, are they likely to be haunted by the Puppet, too?"

Qin Ruan replied calmly and gently, "Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, if they had an abortion or miscarriage, a Puppet will be created. If they can arrange a proper funeral rites for the Puppet in time, they can mitigate the effects of the Puppet on themselves. It won’t affect their luck and won’t accumulate any negative karma.

Of course, there are also some good-natured Puppets without any resentment. Due to various complex factors, they will find opportunities to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"But didn’t you mention earlier that the Puppets created from abortions could not enter the cycle of reincarnation?"

"That applies to Puppets borne out of love and resentment towards those who’ve wronged them. They’re full of resentment and burdened with guilt, so they remain in the world of the living. If the Puppets don’t bear any resentment, then naturally they won’t have any issues."

"I see." Ling Xiaoxuan finally understood.

Qin Ruan continued, "Actually, some people are aware that after aborting their child, the child might hold resentment. They feel guilty for not letting their child come into this world and thus voluntarily arrange a proper funeral rites for them."

"There must be few people like that."

"Still, there are some."

As they chatted, they returned to the library again.

Huo Zhi and the others had not left yet.

They were watching the students injured by Li Xiao drinking the talisman water.

"What is this stuff? I’m not drinking it. Who knows what you’ve put in it!"

Some protested, vowing not to drink the unknown water.

Huo Zhi didn’t try to convince them either, simply giving an eye signal to his subordinates standing beside him.

The subordinate, holding a cup of water, walked to the protesting student.

"What are you doing? This is Shengshi Academy, not a place for you to act wildly!" The male student bravely objected.

"Drink up."

Huo’s hidden guard expressionlessly held out the cup to the student.

"I told you I don’t wanna drink!"

The hidden guard didn’t touch him, and the student sighed, becoming bolder in his objections.

"Drink up!"

Again, the hidden guard spoke in the tone of an emotionless machine.

"No! Remove this thing. If I get sick, who’s responsible?"

You know what they say about the third time being the charm.

The hidden guard stepped forward, lightly raised the student’s chin, and brought the cup to his lips.

Before the student could protest, the water was forced down his throat.

These actions took just a few seconds, stunning the onlookers.

"Cough, cough...," The student choked a bit from the forced down water, coughing in agony.

His miserable expression suggested this was not a pleasant experience.

The other slightly defiant male students who had been injured by Li Xiao voluntarily took the cups after witnessing this scene and gulped down the water nonchalantly.

"Holy cow! Such a domineering attitude!"

Being from an aristocratic family, Ling Xiaoxuan was shocked. She had never seen anyone behave so brazenly at the academy before.

Her eyes moved towards Qin Ruan questioningly, "Qin Ruan, tell me the truth, are these people all yours? Aren’t you afraid the academy will give you trouble?"
