Chapter 24 She Returned to That Day

Ye Li remained unmoved. "If you want to repay me, then kill yourself now."

The man was surprised. "How could you say such cold words? As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Shouldn't you try to persuade me with your emotions and reason? Are the disciples of the Heavenly Gate Sect so murderous these days?"

Ye Li: "..."

Do evil spirits have to be shameless these days?

"You don't need to spread your lies. Since you know I am a disciple of the Heavenly Gate Sect, you know that I could never be bewitched by you. Heaven is above, and I, Ye Li, will never associate with evil!"

"oh?"

The rising intonation at the end of his voice carried a hint of mockery, "Since Heaven is above all, then why did you, a disciple who follows Heaven, die?"

"you-"

Just kidding.

The man stood up and circled around her. "Actually, Heaven has been quite kind to you. Your soul will not perish even after you die. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Ye Li thought he was being sarcastic, and curled her lips into a smile, "Then should I be happy that I died young?"

"Of course we should be happy. It's so much easier to cultivate after leaving the physical body."

Ye Li thought he was crazy.

Everyone knows that those who cultivate immortality transcend the six realms of existence, have no afterlife, and only this life.

Once the physical body dies, there is no hope left.

Moreover, as a soul, she can't do anything, so how can she cultivate?

The man said with great interest, "Come out first, let me see what the quality of your soul is like."

Ye Li was wary of him and refused to reveal her true form.

Just as the two were staring at each other, Ye Li was suddenly pulled out of Da Hei's body by an unexpected force, and her appearance was exposed.

The woman wore a gray Taoist robe, her appearance was as pure and aloof as a snow lotus, only her slightly upturned eyes revealed a touch of human emotion.

Xie Sixing raised his eyebrows. He had just heard her speak of profound righteousness and thought she was a stubborn Taoist nun. He never expected her to be such a beauty.

Ye Li assumed Xie Sixing was responsible and coldly retorted, "What do you want to do!"

He spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I didn't do anything."

The next second, Ye Li was enveloped in white smoke, and runes appeared where the smoke covered her, and her soul began to fade.

It turns out it wasn't Xie Sixing causing trouble; it was just that her time was up.

Today is the last day of the seven-day period. According to the masked man, her soul will be scattered today.

When the moment actually arrived, Ye Li calmed down.

"If you want to repay me, heal Big Black and take it out of the Chaos Realm."

Xie Sixing tilted his head back, looking like a rogue, "You're already dead, why should I repay you?"

Just as Ye Li was about to kill him in anger, he slowly added, "But you can do it yourself."

With a snap of her fingers, Ye Li lost consciousness.

She stood like a puppet, her head bowed low.

Xie Sixing circled around Ye Li and nodded in satisfaction, "Superior soul body."

"She's from the Heavenly Gate Sect, Master, kill her!"

The two stone statues at the entrance of the Golden Pagoda are speaking.

On the left is a phoenix, chirping in a childlike voice, clamoring for Xie Sixing to kill Ye Li.

The golden dragon on the right chuckled, "Fire Phoenix, what do you know? Our master has waited a thousand years for a woman, and he's reluctant to part with her—"

Before he could finish speaking, a huge ice ball appeared in Jinlong's mouth. "Ugh!"

Xie Sixing said with a smile, "Since you're so talkative, I'll find you a toy."

After speaking, he looked at the Fire Phoenix.

The phoenix was terrified by its inhuman master and shrank back, remaining as quiet as a statue.

Xie Sixing glanced at Ye Li, raised a finger to catch the smoke on her body, and flicked it between his fingers. "Soul-Devouring Furnace?"

He laughed, "Looks like you're no ordinary person either, that makes things even more interesting."

The phoenix shrank its neck even lower as it watched its master's perverted smile.

Waaah, help! My owner is such a pervert, what should I do?

-

Ugh-

The blizzard outside the window continued unabated, and the wind howled like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts.

On the golden bed, Ye Li was trapped in a nightmare from which she could not escape.

"Master, save me—"

"Junior brother, save me!"

She dreamt of the events leading up to her death; that memory was etched into her very being and became her nightmare.

This time was different; she saw the reactions of her fellow disciples, whom she considered family, after receiving the help-seeking talisman.

One hour before the apprenticeship ceremony begins.

After changing into her new clothes, Su Ying'er twirled gracefully, "Senior brothers, does Ying'er look good in this?"

Lu Ziting stared intently, his gaze burning with passion. "Beautiful, my Ying'er is the most beautiful."

These words were ambiguous, but Bai Xiaosheng and Mo Hannian, who were sitting together in the pavilion, showed no surprise at all, which showed that they already knew that Lu Ziting and Su Ying'er were having an affair.

No wonder Lu Ziting was so cold.

She foolishly thought Lu Ziting was in a bad mood, and every time she comforted him, her fellow students would secretly laugh.

She thought her junior brothers were just young and playful, but in reality, they were all laughing at her.

Her fiancé got engaged to someone else, and she, like a clown, went up to him and asked if he was too tired from cultivation, and made him a restorative pill.

Even the materials for the Twin Swords that she risked her life to retrieve were used by him as a token of love for Su Ying'er.

How pathetic, how laughable.

Just as the group was praising Su Ying'er, Yuan Ce ran over holding something in his hand, "Hey, you're all here, come and see this!"

Mo Hannian didn't look up. "Ye Li's help talisman?"

Yuan Ce was surprised, "How did you know?"

Bai Xiaosheng pulled out an identical one and waved it in front of him, "Because we received it a long time ago."

Mo Hannian's eyes held a hint of disdain. "That's right, she gave them to everyone."

Yuan Ce crumpled the ball up and threw it aside. "That old hag is disgusting. She actually came up with the idea of ​​using a help talisman to send us away?"

Bai Xiaosheng took a sip of tea. "I've also heard that Master has some."

Yuan Ce: "Master won't believe it, will he?"

"How could that be? Master didn't even glance at it, he just threw it away. However," Bai Xiaosheng said mysteriously, "Master seemed very angry."

Yuan Ce gloated, "Hahaha, what do you mean by trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead? When she comes back, Master will definitely beat her to a pulp!"

Lu Ziting nodded, "It's good to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, what if she makes things difficult for Ying'er when we're not around after she joins the Lotus Sect?"

"That's right, that's right! Our junior sister is our precious darling, we can't let that old hag bully her!"

Surrounded by her friends, Su Ying'er smiled sweetly, "With all my senior brothers here, I'm not afraid no matter how much my senior sister bullies me."

"..."

Everyone burst into laughter, their feet resting on the scattered help-seeking talismans.

Having gone through so much, Ye Li had long seen through their true colors, but when she actually witnessed how they disregarded her life, her eyes welled up with tears.

It turns out that no one was standing behind her; she never had a way out.

Suddenly, I found myself at the back of Lotus Gate.

She saw Wen Yao.

By the way, didn't Wen Yao say he liked her? What was he doing when he received her plea for help?
