Chapter 120 It Doesn't Matter Who You Marry
"You think I can't do anything to you like this, right?"
Since the protective talisman is in Li Niaoniao's hands, it has the power to protect itself. If you choose to snatch it by force, the only one who will get hurt will be Wu Xi herself.
She glanced at Feng Yan who was worried beside her, appeared in front of him in an instant, stretched out her five fingers, and pinched him.
She glared at Li Niaoniao with her narrowed, cold eyes and threatened, "If you don't throw them away, I will kill him. I want to see whether you care about your own life or his life."
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely choose his own fate, but Wu Yi knew Li Niaoniao. She had always been a kind and innocent person and could not bear to see others suffer because of her.
Feng Yan's face was flushed and red, with veins bulging. He also looked at Li Niaoniao, but shouted hoarsely: "Don't worry about me, Miss Niaoniao, go away——"
Niao Niao stamped her feet anxiously: "Let Brother Feng go!"
How could she possibly abandon the brother who had treated her like his own sister since childhood? She bit her lower lip and had no choice but to throw away the amulet.
"Stupid. I was going to let you die easily for your brother's sake. Since you don't want to die a good death..."
Wu Yi had extraordinary arm strength and pushed Feng Yan away. She appeared behind Niao Niao with a sinister look, holding a thin steel needle between her fingers. There was a totem painted on the needle with red paint, emitting an eerie red light.
"Then I will refine you into a human puppet and you will live forever without reincarnation."
As she said this, she planned to insert the three-inch steel needle into the Baihui point on the top of Li Niaoniao's head.
Wu Yi thought that this time it would be foolproof, but she never expected that when she touched her head, a golden light burst out at the same time, forming a counterforce with the red light, and shook Wu Yi's hand away.
At the same time, a voice came from above.
"Two souls in one body?"
Wu Yi was startled when she heard this. When she looked up, she was covered by a huge, elongated shadow. A fishy and cold breath enveloped her, making it hard to breathe.
She immediately changed her position and came from the corner to a wider road. Once the distance was extended, under the light of the fire in the distance, she could see clearly the long shadow behind her, which turned out to be a black python that was nearly ten feet long.
However, what was threatening to Wu Xi was not the extraordinary black python, but the person standing leisurely on the black python's head.
"You're just playing tricks on me. It's just a beast tamer. Who do you think you can scare with this?"
Wu Yi curled her lips in disdain. She obviously did not recognize the person in front of her. It was "Xu Shanshan" who had fooled the whole place in the Gold and Silver Building with a life-saving game.
Because of this, there was no particular change on Wu Xi's face at this moment, but she was secretly annoyed at Li Niaoniao's natural good luck, which always enabled her to turn danger into safety at the critical moment of life and death.
Someone has calculated Li Niaoniao's fortune and said that in the first half of her life, she would have the five stars facing the stars and the sun and the moon shining together. Before entering middle age, she would have no tendency to fall into decline and fall. She would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in everything she does. She had a good fortune and would be rich and have a smooth road ahead.
It was because of this characteristic of hers that Wu Yi asked Li Dandan to get her a bad luck charm to wear on her body, and then led her away from the Li family, causing the "accident" to happen.
But who would have thought that Li Niaoniao not only returned to Sheyuan safely, but also encountered extraordinary things, received protection from masters, and escaped death several times.
Wu Yi ran a few steps and rose from the ground. She spread her arms and two silver chains with sharp hooks flew out from her robe. With a sound of breaking through the air, they stabbed towards the python's head.
"No wonder I felt something was wrong with you before. Taking a living person's body by force and depriving others of their luck in order to change her fate is against the harmony of heaven. Since you have violated the oath of the Heavenly Master, you should fulfill the oath you made that year."
Xu Shanshan made a hand gesture, and suddenly a strong wind swirled up from the ground, blowing Wu Xi off target. At the same time, a black hole with strange flowing clouds appeared underground and in the sky.
Wu Xi's biggest secret had already been exposed by Xu Shanshan. She was horrified. Then she saw that the spell she cast was actually a mysterious technique. She immediately knew that she was no match for the other party and subconsciously wanted to escape.
Unexpectedly, four chains were thrown out from the "black hole" and instantly tied her hands and feet tightly, fixing her in mid-air.
"Sister Shanshan——"
Li Niaoniao below was stunned for a moment, then excitedly circled around the black python's body with joy.
It's not that she wasn't afraid of the black python, it's just that Xu Shanshan was above her. She had such a ferocious beast under her feet, and the incomparable strong self-confidence also infected her.
"Sister Shanshan, I'm here, I'm fine—
Xu Shanshan ignored Li Niaoniao's chattering for attention. She asked the black python to take her to Wu Xi.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the Tianshi League?"
And she is so young... "Could it be that you have also transferred your soul into a living body?"
Otherwise, how could she possess such powerful strength at such a young age? No, this is not just powerful strength, but supreme strength that is almost superior to that of ordinary people.
"Although you don't know me, I am somewhat familiar with your aura..."
Could it be one of those useless "apprentices" she had taught before...
Xu Shanshan pressed a finger on her forehead, and the cold touch made Wu Yi shiver uncontrollably.
A piercing pain suddenly broke out, and this terrible "storm" swept through every corner of her soul, destroying all her will to resist, leaving only despair and helplessness.
"What are you going to do? Don't..."
At this moment, Wu Shi no longer had her previous arrogance and pride. In front of Xu Shanshan, she was like a weak cat with its teeth pulled out and its claws clipped.
"You seem to like turning people into puppets? Then do you know that there is a kind of puppet that cannot control itself but can sense everything on its body, including cold, heat, pain, and hunger?" "You will not die, but you will stay in the puppet, immortal and indestructible, and never close your eyes."
With a loud bang, like a heavy blow, Wu Xi's soul was almost crushed.
“Don’t—” She screamed miserably: “Let me go, I won’t dare to do it again, please…”
With tears and snot streaming down her face, she begged Xu Shanshan desperately.
Unfortunately, the person she was seeking was a heartless and heartless person.
Wu Yi felt as if her soul was being grabbed tightly by a demon and torn apart desperately. Her body was about to be torn into pieces.
"what--"
Xu Shanshan watched her eyes change from lively to dull, her expression change from painful to dull, and finally lose all "color".
At this moment, a mottled shadow leaped from the wall and struck from behind. Xu Shanshan remained calm and slightly turned sideways. He passed through it, but his target was the tied-up Wu Yi.
He had an unusual magical weapon in his hand, and with one slash, he cut off the spiritual chain set up by Xu Shanshan.
Then he fled with the person in his arms. The process was clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements or hesitation. In particular, he avoided fighting with Xu Shanshan, just to save the person and leave.
Xu Shanshan stared at the cold and tall figure, but did not chase them or stop them. Instead, he let them leave smoothly.
-
After Xu Shanshan got off the black python, Niao Niao ran over to ask for a hug and comfort, but Xu Shanshan ruthlessly pressed his finger against her head.
"This is the second time."
When Niao Niao heard this, her face turned pale as if it had been hit by frost.
She understands.
This was Sister Shanshan reminding her that this was the second time she had averted a life-threatening situation.
Now there is only one time left before the appointment. After her bad luck charm is removed and Sister Shanshan finishes what she needs to do, she will leave.
"Sister Shanshan, why don't you marry my brother? This way you can stay with me forever." She said gloomily.
Xu Shanshan said, "You could be more ambitious and just ask me to marry you, wouldn't it be easier?"
Niao Niao was stunned.
The expression on her face almost said: Can it still be like this?
The corners of Feng Yan's mouth twitched when he heard this. It sounded like a joke, but she took it seriously?
"……Miss."
"Ah, Brother Feng." Li Niaoniao quickly ran over, helped him up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you seriously injured?"
The other guards of the Li family came over one after another. They had suffered some internal injuries, some serious, but they were not so serious that they could not stand up.
Feng Yan endured the pain and barely stood up by leaning on Niao Niao. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and body, but he said stubbornly: "It's okay, I just can't move for a while."
Upon hearing this, Niao Niao hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Sister Shanshan will definitely have a way to cure you."
Unlike Li Niaoniao who was full of trust, Feng Yan did not quite trust Xu Shanshan, although she did save them... but she was too strong and too mysterious. He had to think too much when such a person suddenly appeared next to Niaoniao.
He asked Niaoniao: "Is this the Sister Shanshan that Miss Niaoniao mentioned?"
"Yes, Sister Shanshan is very powerful. I was in danger many times, and it was Sister Shanshan who saved me." Niao Niao answered without any doubt.
At this point, Niao Niao immediately introduced Feng Yan to Xu Shanshan: "Sister Shanshan, this is Brother Feng, who I grew up with. He..."
"Miss." Feng Yan interrupted Niao's detailed introduction.
He lowered his head and said to Xu Shanshan sincerely: "Thank you for saving my life, master. I can't repay you right now, but if you can use me in the future, please feel free to ask."
Under the other person's gaze, Feng Yan felt as if he had a thorn in his back. Although he had some reservations in his heart, he did not dare to offend her.
Xu Shanshan didn't care about Feng Yan's alertness. She glanced at his face and said, "There's an ominous aura about you. Your fate palace is dark and deep, and there are three vertical and three horizontal lines crisscrossing in front of your eyes. I'm afraid that your family has been in turmoil recently, or that something unusual and strange has happened around you, right?"
Feng Yan was stunned for a long while before he asked in surprise, "May I ask what kind of business this girl is in?"
"Sister Shanshan is a very powerful celestial master. She can tell fortunes and physiognomy, and everything is very accurate..." At this point, Niao Niao's eyes widened, and she reacted and said, "Brother Feng, did something happen to the Li family?"
Feng Yan is a family-born child. Li Niaoniao’s home is his home. If something happens to his family, then it also means something happened to the Li family, right?
Seeing that Niao Niao was staring at him without blinking, as if she would not give up unless he told her the truth, Feng Yan had no choice but to tell the truth: "...Yes."
He sighed. He didn't want to upset Niao Niao at this time, but this matter obviously could not be kept secret for long.
If it were the Li Niaoniao in the past, she would definitely not be able to accept it and would cry and ask to go back immediately, but now she has learned to plan before taking action and no longer acts impulsively.
Impulse is the devil.
Her face was pale, but she said calmly: "During the time I was away, what happened to the Li family?"
