"A bunch of low-class people, how dare you ignore me like this!" Sun Jingyao's face showed a ferocious expression that was completely inconsistent with her appearance. She looked at the shadow on the ground and scolded: "Useless things, they didn't even notice others approaching."
"Hehe!" The black shadow made a harsh sound and floated in the air towards Sun Jingyao: "Have you forgotten that I am not your servant? Don't treat me like those servants in your house!"
"Hmph!" Sun Jingyao was so blocked that she didn't want to continue talking, but she had to soften her words: "I was just too impatient. I'll be more careful next time. But, can you?"
Zhao Hanyun, who had been eavesdropping openly on the side, was also waiting to see what this thing could be. This strange thing was so strange that it gave Zhao Hanyun the feeling of being a Chi Chong, yet it was different in some way. It didn't have the evil aura of a Chi Chong, but it had the ghostly shadow of a Chi Chong.
"You want me to watch that man for you again?" Shadow said disdainfully, "I won't go again. I only helped you this time because your proposal was a little tempting to me, but what about now? Look, my men have suffered a lot of losses, and my whereabouts were almost exposed. It's such a loss-making business, and you haven't compensated me for my losses yet!"
Sun Jingyao's fingers moved uncomfortably in a place where the shadow couldn't see, and then she answered naturally: "Isn't it just a little bit of essence? There's no rush now. I'll go back and find ten or eight for you to slowly absorb as much as you want."
"I want a half-grown child, with abundant and pure essence. The one you gave me last time was too old and not tasty!" Following Sun Jingyao's words, the black shadow naturally stated his request. However, Zhao Hanyun's eyes darkened. Essence? And a child's essence? Treating people as food, what kind of monster has escaped and brought disaster to the world without careful supervision?
"Okay, it's good enough that you have something to eat. Why are you still so picky?" Sun Jingyao knew that she couldn't agree to the black shadow's request all at once. She refused to satisfy it and even firmly asked the black shadow to keep an eye on Zou Li.
"Don't worry, I'll be able to sense that guy as long as he appears around you."
"I hope what you said is true." Sun Jingyao's eyes began to blur when she thought of Zou Li's face. She has liked beautiful things since she was a child, no matter if it was a person or an object, as long as she liked it, it must be hers. She originally just wanted to travel abroad, but she didn't expect to see such a handsome person in a quick glance on the street. Her first thought at that time was that she wanted him.
After ordering her attendants to investigate, she discovered that he was the young master of the Zou family in the capital. Rumors had it he had been exiled due to a family feud, and before she could take action, Zou Li had vanished abroad. She searched for a full month before she learned he had returned to China and had even become a teacher at the school she would soon attend. This must have been providential, considering her tireless search. However, after carefully dressing herself up to have some intimate contact with Zou Li, she saw a girl engaging in intimate playfulness with him. This was unforgivable.
Miraculously, she didn't rush over immediately. Although she wanted to tear the girl apart, she had to be wary of her. After all, the intelligence she'd gathered showed that Zou Li had never had any contact with any women, including the male tutor he hired abroad. Could the girl be a member of Zou Li's family? With this in mind, Sun Jingyao settled down and became a good student, even refusing her family's offer to buy her a house near the school, all in the name of understanding the woman who could stand by Zou Li's side.
In the end, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She appeared in front of Zou Li with that girl, but his eyes always followed that girl. She, standing next to him, didn't even get a glance. What was so good about a mudblood from the countryside? However, this situation wouldn't last long. That girl would soon disappear. Then Zou Li would notice her and see her good qualities. She was countless times better than that muddy and smelly bitch.
The shadow had appeared when she was a child. Back then, she seemed to be fighting for a doll or something else. She only remembered that she won and then pushed the child down the stairs. As she coldly watched the life gradually lose its vitality as the red liquid drained away, the shadow appeared. It said that she was the best container and could bring it infinite power. She remembered it clearly. Because she disliked the shadow's appearance, she did not allow it to enter her body. So the shadow stayed in her shadow, and sometimes it would come out to do happy things with her.
Zhao Hanyun looked at Sun Jingyao's unpredictable expression and went straight back to the dormitory. In this situation, she needed to check the books carefully. What kind of existence is a person who merged with a ghostly thing? And what she just said, was it true? She had to find someone to check it out.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Zhao Hanyun closed her eyes and thought, Sun Jingyao came in and stayed at her bedside for a long time. Although Zhao Hanyun’s eyes were closed, it didn’t mean that her feelings disappeared. Instead, she felt more familiar with Sun Jingyao’s deep malice towards her, which was naked and without a trace of concealment.
Half the time passed, Zhao Hanyun and Sun Jingyao each keeping their secrets. Zou Li had come a few times, always during the day. Being here in the middle of the night didn't seem like a good time. Even if Zhao Hanyun hadn't told him to investigate, Sun Jingyao's file would have been submitted. A spoiled brat? And a ghost following her? Being targeted by such a monster, Zou Li didn't show any embarrassment at Zhao Hanyun's mockery. Instead, he punished his mocker with a deep kiss. Only when Zhao Hanyun's brain was deprived of oxygen, too busy to think about it, did he leave, satisfied.
Of course, sneaking around in secret wasn't Zou Li's style. He openly kissed the woman he'd chosen. Even though she'd just come of age, there was no rush; he'd just come of age, hadn't he? Zhang Jiayao, watching from the sidelines, was furious. The two little brats were being so sweet and affectionate in front of him, like a dog. Poor him, a single man in his late twenties, and yet no woman was interested in him? Ugh! What are you talking about! If I were a dog, what would my old man, my grandfather, mean? The thought of his grandfather's huanghuali cane hitting his leg immediately made Zhang Jiayao cringe.
