The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

"I have to go, old friend." Xiong Qi swept Lin Zhengshan's palm with his tail, as if to comfort Lin Zhengshan.

"Okay." Lin Zhengshan then nodded to Bai Xuan and Shu Wanwan who were waiting in the corridor on the third floor, his eyes full of determination, and then said, "I hope he will have a safe and smooth life in his next life."

Shu Wanwan nodded slightly, took out a talisman, and muttered something. Amidst a flash of light, Xiong Qi's soul slowly floated out, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.

"He will rest in peace." Shu Wanwan said softly.

Lin Zhengshan raised his eyes to the roof of the villa and prayed silently in his heart. Then he stood up and bowed to the two people still standing in the corridor on the third floor. He sincerely thanked Bai Xuan and Shu Wanwan.

"Without you, I might never have been able to fulfill this wish. From now on, if you need my help, just let me know."

After seeing Lin Zhengshan off, Shu Wanwan went to the second-floor room with the spiritual array and placed the Soul-Suppressing Orb and Phoenix Feather Arrow she had obtained on the table. She stared at the two treasures, a cold glint in her eyes.

"In order to refine these two spiritual weapons, so many innocent lives were sacrificed." Shu Wanwan felt extremely pity in her heart, however, the actual situation was far worse than this.

Qian Nianjiang is a man of integrity and loyalty, but his unyielding character makes him difficult to tame after becoming a spirit. Therefore, someone deliberately set up a formation to trap him, deceiving him into believing he is a river spirit residing within the deep pool. In reality, the true river spirit has been suppressed, unable to move freely. The animals that depend on the river for survival are severely impacted, and their lives become difficult and harsh.

Shu Wanwan felt helpless. She couldn't help but wonder how Qian Nianjiang would react if he knew the truth.

Shu Wanwan didn't want to dwell on it any further. She carefully inspected and reinforced the formation once more to ensure its safety. After completing these preparations, Shu Wanwan decided to begin her cultivation. She knew she had consumed too much spiritual energy this time and needed to recover quickly in order to prepare for the real attack of the black-robed man.

So, she sat on the futon, closed her eyes, and regulated her breathing, allowing herself to enter a state of calm and concentration. As time passed, Shu Wanwan gradually immersed herself in her practice. Her mind became increasingly tranquil, and her thoughts became clearer. Throughout this process, she felt a steady flow of spiritual energy flowing into her body. This feeling was both warm and comforting, as if it brought her endless vitality.

At the same time, Shu Wanwan also found that her perception of her surroundings had increased significantly. She could keenly detect the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air and even hear the birds singing outside the window.

After a period of training, Shu Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her lips curled up. She felt that although she had not fully recovered, her cultivation had been significantly improved for her now injured self, and her spiritual power had become abundant.

After a while, the sound of Ye Linfeng knocking on the door was heard outside the house.

"Master." Ye Linfeng called Shu Wanwan tentatively through the door, not knowing whether he disturbed Shu Wanwan.

"What's the matter? Officer Ye." Shu Wanwan stood up, straightened her clothes, and asked Ye Linfeng through the door.

"Master, Jiang Jingchen is here." Ye Linfeng said to Shu Wanwan through the door.

"I'll go down right now." Shu Wanwan said, checked the formation again, and then went downstairs.

Downstairs, Jiang Jingchen sat obediently on the sofa, holding the teacup in both hands. He took a sip carefully, then gently put the cup down and sat upright, not daring to breathe. His eyes fell on Dai Yan, who was sitting opposite him on the sofa from time to time, but each time he dared only glance at her quickly, for fear that Dai Yan would notice him observing her.

This was the first time Jiang Jingchen met Dai Yan.

From the outside, Dai Yan is strikingly beautiful, with a slender and tall figure. She wears a long, traditional red gauze dress and holds a delicate silk fan, exuding a mysterious charm. Dai Yan's face is delicate, lightly powdered, perfectly accentuating her elegance. A touch of red adorns her lips, as delicate and alluring as a blooming flower. This petal-shaped lipstick not only adds to her allure, but also lends her a sense of allure.

However, when Jiang Jingchen saw Dai Yan's dress and thought of Shu Wanwan's ability, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Jiang Jingchen thought of the female ghost Tang Tian he had seen before, and he became more nervous when he thought of this.

"Are you Jiang Jingchen?" Dai Yan suddenly asked in a flat tone.

Jiang Jingchen was startled and quickly replied: "Yes, I am Jiang Jingchen, nice to meet you!" After that, he stood up and bowed to Dai Yan.

Dai Yan watched Jiang Jingchen's actions, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. But she quickly regained her composure and continued to ask, "I heard that you've been visiting Shu Wanwan frequently recently. What's your relationship?"

Jiang Jingchen's heart tightened when he heard this question, and he didn't know how to answer. He hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "We are just ordinary friends..."

Dai Yan nodded to show her understanding.

Then, Dai Yan asked some questions about Jiang Jingchen's family background, academic performance, etc., like a patriarch.

Jiang Jingchen answered each question truthfully.

After hearing what Jiang Jingchen said, Dai Yan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "Okay, that's it for today. If you want to find Shu Wanwan in the future, you can come over anytime."

After hearing this, Jiang Jingchen didn't know why, but he nodded as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Shu Wanwan had already opened the door of the room on the second floor where the spirit array was set up and walked out. Standing in the corridor, she saw Jiang Jingchen and Dai Yan downstairs. She found their conversation very interesting, so she didn't go downstairs. Instead, she stood quietly in the corridor, leaning against the railing and listening.

Seeing Jiang Jingchen so nervous, Shu Wanwan's smile grew more and more pronounced, a faint smile that seemed to overflow, unable to be concealed no matter what. Meanwhile, Bai Xuan, the cat, who was lying on the stairs watching the show, was also laughing inwardly.

"Okay, Daiyan, stop bullying him." Shu Wanwan whispered to Daiyan as she went downstairs.

As soon as Shu Wanwan finished speaking, Dai Yan covered her mouth with a fan and laughed.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, I'll listen to Wanwan." Dai Yan agreed with a smile, then turned into a wisp of red smoke and flew into the soul-locking mirror on the second floor.

Jiang Jingchen hadn't recovered from the embarrassment of being tricked by Dai Yan yet, and was frightened by Dai Yan's action of turning into red smoke.

Shu Wanwan found Jiang Jingchen's expression very funny. After a pause, she continued, "Master Jiang, what are you doing here?"
