Chapter 31: With money in hand, the world is mine
The next second, Lili drowsily opened her eyes. Ms. Li quickly stepped forward and asked, "Lili, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
"Mom, I'm much better now. I don't have a fever anymore. If you don't believe me, just feel me. Don't worry, mom. I'm not in pain. Lili is no longer in pain."
Lili is a simple girl. Although she is already eighteen years old, her mental age is like that of a nine or ten-year-old child, and her heart and eyes are filled with Ms. Li.
This made Ms. Li a little confused. She had just seen Qi Xu's magic succeed, so why was her daughter still acting so dazed and stupid?
"Don't worry, Lili has fully recovered her consciousness now. Because she was given this soul when she was nine, her cognition is still at the level of a nine-year-old. If you spend time with her and teach her well, she will slowly recover to her current eighteen-year-old cognition."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. If you hadn't come to rescue us, Lili and I would probably still be kept in the dark."
"If I hadn't listened to Shufang's slander, I wouldn't have let that sorcerer do such atrocities to Lili."
Ms. Li was extremely grateful and pulled Lili to kneel on the ground and kowtow. This action frightened Qi Xu so much that he almost couldn't stop her.
"Ms. Li, you shouldn't do such a great gift. You've always been kind and virtuous, so you shouldn't have suffered such a disaster. The law of nature dictates that we should help you."
When the mother and daughter were about to kneel down, Qi Xu quickly lifted their arms with both hands to prevent their knees from hitting the ground.
The mother and daughter gave up when they realized they couldn't kneel down no matter how hard they tried.
"May I ask the Master's name?"
"Guiyuan Layman,"
"Mr. Guiyuan, this is your reward for saving my daughter. Please accept it."
Qi Xu never thought that he would get paid for his service. He looked at the stack of cash in Ms. Li's hand, which was about two to three thousand yuan.
Ms. Li noticed the hesitation in her eyes and said, "Master, this was originally the labor fee that evil sorcerer wanted. Now that you have helped us solve Lili's dementia problem, this is what we deserve."
"Well, I'll only take half of your labor fee. You can use the remaining half on Lili. Take her to see more of the world and broaden her horizons."
Qi Xu also knew that he had to accept the money. After all, in their line of work, they would not help others to overcome disasters and misfortunes without reason. If he did not accept the money, the karmic debt would be directly borne by himself.
She reached out and took a small portion of the stack of notes from Ms. Li's hand. Seeing that there were about eight or nine of them, she nodded and said goodbye.
In fact, her heart was already filled with ripples because of the labor fee. She really didn't expect that her kindness in helping would lead to this unexpected wealth.
After going downstairs, she originally wanted to go straight back to her own yard, but halfway there she felt that something was wrong with the little baby spirit above her head, so she quickly took it down to check.
The little baby spirit was now throbbing with pain all over its body, and the originally hazy white light surrounding it was now vaguely mixed with wisps of black air.
Something was wrong! Absolutely wrong! She had clearly purified the infant spirit completely herself, so it was impossible for the black energy to reappear for no reason.
There is only one possibility, that is, Chen Lin could not bear the backlash and began to look for the sorcerer who originally created the evil spirit to restrain the little baby spirit.
"Little ghost, don't resist. They want to take you back. Don't worry, I will definitely help you break the last bond this time."
She couldn't bear to see the little baby spirit in so much pain, so she encouraged it to go back in the direction it was being controlled.
At this time, Chen Lin's house had been set up with a formation and covered with talismans. Zi Yan Daoist kept chanting incantations, as if he sensed a unique aura. He was overjoyed, "Comrade Chen Lin, hold on. I will find the child who abandoned you soon."
Chen Lin was now tied up with many hands and there were cuts on his wrists. The blood was flowing slowly into the center of the formation along the drawn formation.
"Ahhhh! Master Zi Yan, when will it come back? I can't hold on any longer."
"It's almost there. I've detected the child's aura myself. Comrade Chen Lin, hold on. The formation will be completed soon. Don't give up halfway."
Chen Lin closed his eyes and endured the extreme pain, not noticing the greed in Taoist Zi Yan's eyes.
Qi Xu knew that since the little baby spirit was summoned, it must be in the building of this family compound, so he kept looking in the direction where the little baby spirit was summoned and rushed over.
She saw that the closer the baby spirit got to its final destination, the heavier the black energy became, and her worry increased several times.
When she saw the black and red air currents swirling above a building, she thought to herself that this was not good. The despicable sorcerer wanted to use the mother-child bond to take back the baby's spirit and use it for his own purposes.
Her originally brisk walking pace turned directly into a run, and the black and red air flow above the building became thicker and thicker.
Qi Xu stopped below Unit 15 and looked at the window where the black and red air was coming out, confirming that it was on the top floor, the fifth floor.
She took a deep breath, gathered her strength and ran directly to Room 502. Knocking on the door was no use now, so she just chanted a thunder-strike spell and made the closed door creak open.
"You again!"
"Why, why is it you?"
Qi Xu looked up and saw Taoist Zi Yan appear in front of him again, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out of his eyes.
"I was wondering why a military district family compound could have so many despicable tactics. It turns out it's all caused by a despicable villain like you."
"Why do you always ruin my plans?"
"Why!"
Taoist Zi Yan had a ferocious look on his face and the magic in his hands became more and more powerful. The little baby spirit floating above Chen Lin was rapidly turning into an evil spirit.
"Oh, you think you can raise a little ghost with just these little tricks? No way!"
In the blink of an eye, Qi Xu had already formed seals with his hands, and with a shout of "Break!" his formation was shattered, and even the ropes tied around Chen Lin broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
She turned around, chanted some incantations, and pointed her finger at Chen Lin's wrist, and the bleeding stopped instantly.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
"If you ruin my plan, I'll kill you!"
Taoist Zi Yan saw that his formation that was about to succeed was destroyed in an instant. He was furious and cut his wrist directly. As the blood came out, dozens of poisonous snakes with tongues spitting out snake tongues and black air all around them began to crawl out behind him.
"Oh, so you've always been a crooked person. Why are you pretending to be serious?"
Qi Xu could tell at a glance that all the snakes on his body were contracted by a spell that had been banned long ago, and they were all blood contracts.
In other words, Zi Yan turned himself into a carrier of poisonous snakes. In order to feed these poisonous snakes, he had to continuously collect human blood to fill his broken body.
In the blink of an eye, all the poisonous snakes shot towards Qi Xu like arrows.
"Hahahaha, you're about to die, why are you still being so arrogant?"
