 Chapter 258: Will you give me a billion?

After Qin Ruan finished speaking, she didn't even look at Lili's pale face, and walked to Li Xiao. The girl looked dazed, like she had lost her soul. Luckily, she hadn't easily summoned her soul before, otherwise the damage caused by the baby ghost would have been worse the second time it possessed her. Qin Ruan reached out her slender jade finger and touched Li Xiao's brow. In an instant, her soul returned to its place, and Li Xiao's lifeless and dull eyes gradually recovered. She blinked her eyes lightly, looking bewildered, with a look of not knowing what had happened. After the person returned to normal, Qin Ruan didn't say anything and turned back to Ling Xiaoxuan. "Let's go." "Okay!" Ling Xiaoxuan was simply amazed. She had clearly seen Qin Ruan's actions just now. She only touched Li Xiao lightly, and the person became clear-headed. It was really incredible. Meanwhile, Lili was anxious, "It's still more than ten hours before nightfall. What if that thing harms me again?" Qin Ruan turned her head and frowned, "It's not a thing, it's your child." "But it wants to kill me!" Lili's face was full of anger, and her words were full of resentment. Qin Ruan felt very unhappy, "No, it won't possess you again in the short term, and it can't hurt you. Your top priority now is to prepare for tonight's midnight hour, and then hurry up and find a Buddhist temple or a Taoist temple." "But I don't understand, who should I ask for help? Since you can see it, can't you help me? I'll give you money, whatever amount you want." Perhaps the other party's tone was too aggressive, which made Qin Ruan laugh, "If I ask for a billion, will you give it to me?" The laughter was mocking, with a hint of disdain. "..." Lili was dumbfounded. A billion? Wasn't this just taking advantage of the situation? Just as she was about to say something, Qin Ruan grabbed Ling Xiaoxuan's arm and turned to leave. "Don't go! What am I supposed to do if you leave? You can't just leave me here alone!" Lili chased after the two of them, looking disheveled. Qin Ruan stared at Lili impatiently, her patience wearing thin. "That's not my problem anymore. I've already told you how to get rid of the baby ghost. The rest is up to you. As long as you're sincere, there's nothing to be afraid of." Lili shouted, "I don't have a billion, but will one million do? I'm really scared!" Qin Ruan remained impassive and did not respond. She didn't need the money and didn't want to get involved in Lili's affairs. Her selfishness and hypocrisy were evident in her character. She brought this upon herself. Lili could only watch as Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan left. "Lili?" Suddenly, Li Xiao called out from behind. She felt confused and frightened. Li Xiao returned to her body, and all of her memories were preserved in her mind. Everything she had experienced before had left her quite scared. Her face was pale, and her features twisted with fear. Lili turned around and glared at Li Xiao, saying, "Don't call me, you bitch!" She blamed Li Xiao for the injuries she had sustained from the baby ghost earlier. But Li Xiao was also afraid and ran towards her. "Lili! He's back! He's looking for us!" When she saw Li Xiao running towards her, Lili, still haunted by her past traumas, turned and ran away. While Li Xiao, who hadn't been possessed by the baby ghost, didn't have the strange abilities she had before, she relied on her own physical strength to chase after her. The two of them ran and chased each other around the playground, which made for a comical scene. Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan went to the library, walking slowly as if taking a leisurely stroll. Ling Xiaoxuan furrowed her brows throughout the journey and occasionally glanced at Qin Ruan, hesitating to speak her mind. When she looked at her once again, Qin Ruan couldn't help but say, "If you want to say something, just say it. You're making it seem like there's something wrong between us." "Hahaha..." Ling Xiaoxuan laughed. "I'm just a bit puzzled." "What are you puzzled about?" Qin Ruan took the book they had used for afternoon classes from her arms. "You mentioned those girls who had to go to the hospital to have an abortion. Will they also be haunted by evil spirits?" Qin Ruan spoke softly and gently, "Whether it was intentional or not, as long as they have had an abortion or a miscarriage, they will have the possibility of being haunted by evil spirits. If they can timely appease the spirits, they can resolve the impact of the spirits on them, which will not affect their own fortune and will not accumulate any negative karma." "Of course, there are also some kind-hearted and unresentful spirits that, due to various complex factors, will find an opportunity to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation." "But didn't you say before that aborted spirits could not enter the cycle of reincarnation?" "That was for the spirits trapped in the Yin-Yang realm due to hatred from their wrongdoers. They were unable to be reborn and had nothing to rely on, leading to their current state. If there are no resentful spirits, then everything will be fine." "I see." Ling Xiaoxuan suddenly realized. Qin Ruan continued, "In fact, there are still some people who know that after having an abortion, the spirit of the unborn child will hold a grudge. They will blame themselves for not being able to bring the baby into this world and will take the initiative to appease them." "But these people should be few and far between, right?" "In any case, there are still some." As they spoke, the two of them returned to the library. Huo Zhi and the others hadn't left yet. They were staring at the students injured by Li Xiao while drinking the spell water. "What is this? I'm not drinking it. Who knows what's in it!" Someone protested and refused to drink the unknown liquid. Huo Zhi didn't persuade them and gave a glance to the person standing beside them. The latter held the cup of water and walked up to the protesting student. The male student was aggressive and said, "What are you doing? This is Shengshi Academy, not a place where you can act wild!" "Drink it!" The Huo family's secret guard had a blank expression as they presented the cup of water to the male student. "I said I'm not drinking it!" The Huo family's secret guard didn't take any action. The protesting student breathed a sigh of relief and protested even louder. "Drink water!" The Huo family guard spoke again, his voice indifferent, like an emotionless machine. "I won't drink it! Take this thing away, who's responsible if I get sick from drinking it?"  As they say, third time's the charm. The Huo family guard took a step forward, pinched the male student's chin, gently lifted it up, and brought the water cup to his lips. Before the male student could even protest, the cup of water was forced down his throat. The series of actions were completed in just a few seconds, leaving the onlookers stunned. "Cough cough cough..." The male student choked on the water and coughed painfully. Looking at his pained expression, it was clear that the experience was not pleasant. The other male students who had also been injured by Li Xiao and had been protesting also took the cups of water and drank them swiftly. "I can't believe how dominant their attitude is!" Ling Xiaoxuan, as a member of a prominent family, had never seen anyone so domineering in school for the past two years. She looked at the person next to her and asked, "Qin Ruan, are these all your people? Aren't you afraid that the school will come after you?" End of Chapter.
