Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

Jing Li glanced sideways as Nangong Qian jogged over, looking radiant and showing no trace of her previous dejection.

Her messy hair was tied into two braids and scattered on both sides, making her look very well-behaved.

"It's dawn, can't you leave now?"

That expression seemed to be asking, "Why are you still here?"

Nangong Qian smiled obsequiously and replied:

"I want to go with the big boss."

"Besides, we still have three million to give you."

When money was mentioned, Jing Li's expression changed slightly, and her tone softened. "Oh, when will you make the payment?"

"After descending the mountain."

Nangong Qian smiled triumphantly. She knew that the big boss wouldn't care about them, but he would definitely care about money. She wanted to seduce the big boss to come down the mountain with her. Moreover, she also had her own private property that the big boss could live in.

Hey.

Then I can pester the big shot and ask him to teach me mystical arts.

Nangong Qian carefully observed Jing Li's expression, afraid that Jing Li would see through her thoughts, and then explained in a low voice, "Three million, we don't have that much money on us, and our phones have no signal, so we can't transfer money. I'm afraid that after we go down the mountain, you won't be able to find us, Boss."

Before Jing Li could speak, she quickly added, "Boss, do you have a phone number? I'll add you on WeChat."

WeChat is a social networking app that almost everyone uses.

Jing Li thought for a moment, flipping through her memories. The original owner seemed to have such a thing, but what about a cell phone?

It seems I didn't bring it.

She found it troublesome and didn't bother to add more details, so she said meaningfully, "I will find the money you owe me, no matter where it is. Don't worry, your home is in the Jinyuan Villa District, and I will go there."

"Um?!!!"

Nangong Qian was shocked and blurted out instinctively, "How did you know!"

As Jing Li walked out of the house and brushed past Nangong Qian, she confidently replied, "I know everything."

Thinking of Jing Li's formidable methods, Nangong Qian instantly felt relieved. She secretly thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had not offended any powerful figures, otherwise she would have become the opposite of such a powerful person.

How unlucky would that be? They might not even know how they died.

"I advise you to leave quickly, or you won't want to see what happens next."

As Jing Li's voice faded into the distance, Nangong Qian turned around in a daze.

What happens next?

It won't be like yesterday, will it?

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Nangong Qian couldn't help but shudder, feeling that the side room was unusually cold.

......

After Jing Li went out for a while, the three of them stayed at the village chief's house when they returned.

She didn't ask why the three hadn't left, because it was pointless, and she didn't really care about such things.

The same food was served, but the village chief's chicken was missing again.

At this moment, the food on the table was still steaming, and judging from the way the three of them were, they were obviously waiting for her.

"Boss, you're back. Dinner is ready."

Qiao Feng carried a large bowl of soup out of the earthen stove house and shouted loudly when he saw Jing Li.

Yu Manwen, wearing the village chief's apron, smelled the aroma of the food wafting over. She was clearly familiar with cooking on a rural stove, and the food looked delicious and appetizing.

This made Jingli feel hungry again.

So hungry, so hungry...

What a useless body!

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's money is obligated

Jing Li shook her head, crossed her arms, sat down, and sighed deeply. "Speak! What exactly do you want?"

The group was immediately delighted to see Jingli sit down.

“Boss, I want to learn mystical arts from you.” Nangong Qian spoke first, expressing her thoughts.

“Me too,” Qiao Feng immediately chimed in.

Jing Li then glanced at Yu Manwen, who remained silent.

Feeling embarrassed by the stares, Yu Manwen blushed and said weakly, "I'm not good at psychic magic. I want to learn more from the master."

"I won't teach."

The indifferent voice shattered the three's illusions completely.

"Given this meal, I can remind you that this is a huge tomb, and there's a massive creature trapped underneath. It's because of the constraints of the formation that it can't escape."

Jing Li spoke casually, enunciating each word clearly: "And what I need to do later is release him."

The three were shocked, not only by the strange thing pressing down below, but also by the content of Jing Li's last words.

As a sorcerer, the socially awkward girl was taught from a young age to help those weaker than herself, and if she couldn't, she shouldn't kick someone when they're down. Jing Li's words were completely contrary to her beliefs.

Driven by curiosity, she mustered her courage and asked, "Why, why did you release him? Wouldn't releasing him pose a threat to society?"

"I don't know," Jing Li replied honestly.

"..."

"Can you beat him, big shot?" Nangong Qian asked immediately, as this was what she was most concerned about.

"of course."

Jing Li looked at Nangong Qian with disbelief in her eyes, as if to say, "Why would you doubt my strength?"

Upon hearing the reply, the three people's tense bodies slowly relaxed.

Fortunately, as long as the big boss can handle it, there shouldn't be any problems.

Jing Li added, "But I'm not going to hit him."

"!!!"

"Why!" the three asked in unison, their expressions of shock echoing.

"Because it's a bit troublesome," Jing Li explained patiently and kindly. She had thought about it for a long time last night and concluded that being a good person was too difficult, so between being a good person and a bad person, she chose not to be a person at all.

After all, she wasn't the one who killed anyone.

“…Okay.” Nangong Qian’s lips twitched; she could never guess what the big boss would say next.

The boss is very willful, and she can't persuade him otherwise.

"But what if the thing below comes out and eats people?" Qiao Feng asked the crucial question.

"That's why I told you to hurry down the mountain." Jing Li shrugged, looking rather helpless.

These words undoubtedly confirmed Qiao Feng's question, and the group instantly felt a chill run down their spines, their faces turning grim.

My mind was filled with images of ghosts and monsters, especially since there was something hanging inside the tree outside...

"Isn't this irresponsible to ordinary people?" Yu Manwen, a socially awkward girl, expressed her opinion, as she didn't like Jing Li's approach.

Qiao Feng looked at Yu Manwen with surprise. Had this girl really grown up?

"Hmm?" Jing Li's calm eyes remained devoid of any emotion as she asked in a cool tone, "Why should I be responsible for them?"

This question was asked of Yu Manwen.

But she quickly realized her mistake and boldly said, "Because releasing evil spirits will cause ordinary people to suffer calamities. If that happens, it will be because of you."

Jing Li withdrew her gaze, lost in thought. "Cause and effect don't exist; they can't escape this mountain."

"why?"

"That's not something you should be asking."

Jing Li abandoned her gentle and indifferent demeanor, and was now somewhat irritated.

A red light flashed in her eyes as she subtly used her spiritual power to suppress the slight impatience in her heart.

Something is affecting her!
