Xiao Yanbao and Li Wanning seemed to sense something and simultaneously turned their gaze to Gao Ping, who was in a state of excitement. They saw that Gao Ping's face was gradually turning dark.
"Uncle, you should eat it. Time's almost up."
"It's almost time! Hurry up and eat your noodles. I still need to let your family know you're safe."
At this moment, Gao Ping was only thinking about getting the money in his hands as soon as possible. Once the money arrived in his account, he would take his beloved daughter and fly away to live a carefree and happy life in a beautiful and romantic country.
However, just then, Gao Ping's phone suddenly rang. Gao Ping picked up the phone while cursing and realized that the caller was his beloved daughter, Gao Kexin. The moment Gao Ping answered the phone with a big laugh, the temperature in the living room suddenly dropped. Little Yanbao shivered from the cold and tightly wrapped herself up with her little hands, clutching the collar of her sun protection clothing.
Li Wan Ning looked at Gao Ping, who still maintained his human identity, with surprise and doubt. Could a ghost really be born from a human body? And a rare and fierce ghost at that.
Xiao Yanbao glanced up at Li Wanning, signaling her to be careful, then gently waved her hand to protect herself with magic, silently thinking to herself:
"It's about to begin!"
The main reason why Xiao Yanbao didn't try to escape Gao Ping's family was to figure out why so much ghostly energy would gradually grow in a mortal.
It wasn't until the ghostly aura emanating from Gao Ping became so dense that it surpassed that of ordinary ghosts that she realized Gao Ping was about to become a ghost. However, she had never heard of such a thing before, nor had Li Wan Ning, and it was not mentioned in the inheritance she received from Master Jiang Li.
"Dad, you lowered the price. You could at least add another zero."
"What? The Li family is so willing to spend? Then I'll call Li Qicheng right now. I can't do a losing deal!"
Gao Ping himself didn't realize that his voice had just been much louder than his usual shouts, and even his seemingly calm expression appeared to others as if he were insane.
"Dad, don't get agitated."
Gao Kexin kept looking through the glass at the Li family members gathered in the living room, and continued to speak to Gao Ping in a very low voice on the phone.
"Don't contact the Li family now. Luckily, your call with Li Qicheng was short, so they couldn't pinpoint your exact location. They've already arranged for people to secretly search the neighborhood near our house, so you must hide her well."
When Gao Kexin saw someone coming, she didn't listen to what Gao Ping said and hung up the phone directly. She then walked back to the living room first. After sitting down next to her aunt, one of Li Qicheng's subordinates came to the living room, lowered his head and quickly ran to Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi.
"We've found the exact neighborhood where the young lady is, but we can't pinpoint which building. Do you think we should gather everyone there and search bit by bit?"
Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi were overjoyed, and then immediately said:
"Arrange for someone to observe each unit and each floor. Be sure to stay hidden and not be discovered by the kidnappers. Once you've located Yanbao, don't make a move yet. Wait for me to get there."
After saying this, Li Qicheng stood up and told the old man about finding Xiao Yanbao. The whole living room was in an uproar. All the older brothers were excited to go and rescue Xiao Yanbao, except for Li Muchen, Li Muhao, and the bored fourth uncle.
"Quiet, listen to Qi Cheng, you go that way first, be careful."
The old master of the Li family was quite at ease with Li Qicheng leading people to rescue Xiao Yanbao. The friends Li Qicheng found were all very capable people, and as long as they were careful, Xiao Yanbao would definitely be safe and sound.
When Gao Kexin heard that the people sent by the Li family had found her neighborhood, her eyes immediately became panicked. Especially after Liang Xunling and Li Qirui glanced at her, Gao Kexin's heart started racing, and she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
In her panic, Gao Kexin secretly sent a text message to Gao Ping, and then deleted all the call logs and text messages.
"Get out of here! You've been discovered. If you can't escape, kill her and don't let them find you!"
However, Gao Kexin was unaware that Gao Ping could no longer see the message.
"Money, lots of money, it's all mine, all mine!"
When Gao Ping learned from Gao Kexin that he could demand a ransom of one hundred million US dollars from the Li family, he was enveloped in a black aura, and blood even began to seep from the corners of his eyes and ears. Liang Yueling, who was standing next to him, seemed to be terrified, her mouth agape in horror, and she kept backing away.
However, Gao Ping's gaze seemed to be drawn to the moving Liang Yueling. He suddenly looked at Liang Yueling, let out a series of angry roars, and amidst Liang Yueling's screams, strode up to her and cornered her against the wall.
"You bitch, are you trying to steal my money? You bitch, go to hell!"
Seeing that Gao Ping could easily control the ghost energy with his movements, Xiao Yanbao knew something was wrong. He immediately cast a spell with his fingers. Just as Gao Ping's palm was about to touch Liang Yueling's head, a layer of light membrane separated Gao Ping. The ghost energy controlled by Gao Ping collided with the light membrane, causing it to emit bursts of golden light and shake continuously.
"Help!"
As Xiao Yanbao spoke, Li Wanning had already floated in front of Liang Yueling, and with a gentle wave of her sleeve, she sent her to the sofa behind Xiao Yanbao. However, Liang Yueling had already fainted from fright.
"You dared to save that bitch? You're all after my money, aren't you? Then die! Die!"
Gao Ping was only thinking about the money he was about to receive, and had long forgotten everything else. When Li Wan Ning saw Gao Ping angrily swinging his fierce ghost energy towards Xiao Yan Bao, she immediately condensed a ball of light blue ghost energy to block Gao Ping's path.
Li Wanning's condensed ghostly energy did not last long. With a sound like a bubble bursting, Gao Ping rushed in front of Xiao Yanbao with a black ghostly energy that seemed to be tangible.
With blood flowing from his seven orifices, Gao Ping grinned, his sharp fangs covered in saliva. His bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on Xiao Yanbao. Seeing that Xiao Yanbao was just quietly looking at him, Gao Ping sneered, condensed his ghostly energy into a long sword, raised it high, and then brought it down heavily.
"boom!"
Driven by Xiao Yanbao, the black bracelet on her wrist met the ghostly longsword in Gao Ping's hand. The ghostly energy of Gao Ping dissipated the moment it touched the black bracelet. However, it seemed that the force on the longsword was not completely absorbed by the bracelet. Xiao Yanbao let out a muffled groan and her body swayed violently.
Seeing that the ghostly aura on Gao Ping was very condensed, Xiao Yanbao frowned and pinched his fingers, instantly releasing the spell that had just appeared in his mind that could resist the ghostly aura.
"Screech! A shower of flowers!"
The sweet, childlike voice wasn't particularly intimidating, but the golden petals shimmering with starlight fluttering in the room made Gao Ping feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy. Instantly, he compressed and condensed the ghostly energy, and an ancient-looking suit of armor appeared on his body...
