"Your performance was clumsy, but it's good that an audience enjoyed it. Heh." Another, more pleasant voice chuckled, its tone laced with arrogance and disdain.
Wan Sijia glanced at Yao Ruxing, who was unconscious in the back seat, a triumphant look flashing in her eyes. Then, she looked at the masked woman in the driver's seat, her face showing more respect: "Master, thank you."
"No need to thank me, it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement. Once we reach our destination, you'll get what you want. And what we need... I'll pick it up on time." The masked woman stepped on the gas, and the fake-plated taxi sped away towards the outskirts.
As night deepened, the clouds, resembling condensed mist, were pulled behind, and the faint light struggled to break through.
"I understand, that's how it should be." Wan Sijia lowered her head, looking down at her chubby hands.
She had long since grown tired of this body... Once she was reborn, she could do whatever she wanted with her original body.
However, there was one thing she was very worried about.
"Master, after Yao Ruxing's soul was expelled from her body, will it come back to me? What if this body is taken over by her again..."
Before Wan Sijia could finish speaking, she was coldly interrupted, "You underestimate me. Once her soul leaves her body, I will burn it to ashes, leaving not a single trace."
"Great! Thank you, Master!" Wan Sijia smiled. "Thanks to the gifts you prepared for me, Master, which were nurtured by Yao Ruxing for so long, the plan was able to be completed so quickly. Besides, I'm sure I can adapt to this body very well."
"You should thank her, thanks to her birth."
Thanks to the timing of her birth.
Inside the unlit car, the masked woman tugged at her lipstick-covered lips, revealing a strange and alluring smile.
Wan Sijia didn't understand what she meant and wanted to ask, but suddenly she felt an extremely cold aura emanating from the person beside her, and she stopped instantly.
What……?
Following the masked woman's gaze, she didn't see anything special.
Only one couple had just come out of the supermarket, carrying reusable shopping bags.
The girl had a gentle smile on her fair face and bright eyes. The boy beside her was so handsome that he stunned her. He said something with a smile, and the girl responded with a few words.
Then, the boy heard something funny yet helpless, and he raised his hand to pat the girl's head, his eyes seeming aggrieved yet carrying a hint of warning.
Wan Sijia withdrew her gaze; the atmosphere inside the car was tense, and she dared not speak. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the masked woman's hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles protruding, as if she were extremely angry.
What is the relationship between these three people?
The masked woman suddenly turned her head and glanced at Wan Sijia, glaring at her with her beautiful eyes, and said coldly, "You still owe me something. I'll let you know when to do it later."
If that project hadn't only required the soul and not the body, Yao Ruxing's body wouldn't have been given to this ugly woman!
Wan Sijia, unaware of the other party's thoughts, simply replied meekly, "Yes...yes, I remember."
There is a large forest on the outskirts of Beijing, a place explored by ambitious and daring young people. Developers once wanted to develop the area, but strange things happened whenever they started construction, including murders. Eventually, the developers abandoned the land, leaving it to grow wild.
The fake-plated taxi was parked here.
In Yao Ruxing's memory, whenever she encountered Wan Sijia in the dormitory building, the latter would stare intently at her face. At the time, she didn't think much of it, never imagining that this face and this body had already been coveted by someone.
No more than half an hour after entering the forest, when Yao Ruxing came out, other people had taken over her body.
After Yao Ruxing left, the masked woman stared at the soul that was still hanging in mid-air with its eyes closed. A smile appeared on her lips. She took out two talismans from her bag and whispered a few incantations. Immediately afterward, flames suddenly rose up, enveloping the soul and burning it.
The masked woman glanced one last time at the soul in the fire, and seeing Yao Ruxing's pained expression, she turned and left with satisfaction.
Unbeknownst to her, a strange mark behind her spread its wings, protecting Yao Ruxing in its embrace. Golden flames shaped like bird feathers swept across, causing the fire generated by the talisman to grow smaller and smaller.
