Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Help Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Help It must be said, the words of the woman in white greatly tantalized Shen Yixue, but–
“What do you mean?” Shen Yixue pressed, “What exactly do you mean by changing my identity?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” the woman in white replied with a smirk, her tone laced with temptation, “As long as you agree to my terms, we can sign the contract right now, and you’ll receive everything you desire. However, you will also become my servant, and help me eliminate Zhong Niangyao.”
“Servant?” Shen Yixue frowned, her tone hesitating.
“Becoming my servant is an honor for you,” the woman in white spoke dismissively, “In the Three Worlds, many desire to be my servant. If it weren’t for the need to eliminate Zhong Niangyao, I wouldn’t even consider taking someone like you as my servant!”
Every word the woman in white uttered was clear to Shen Yixue, but when put together, they seemed to confuse her.
However, this did not hinder the desire in her heart. A voice inside her told her that as long as she agreed to the woman before her, she would gain everything she wanted.
The silent demeanor of Shen Yixue made the woman in white show a trace of impatience, “It seems you do not wish to rise above others. In that case, pretend I wasn’t here today.”
“No, don’t go.”
Seeing that the woman in white seemed about to leave, Shen Yixue quickly spoke up, “I am willing, I agree to your terms, we’ll sign the contract, and I will help you eliminate Zhong Niangyao.”
Even without the appearance of the woman in white, she already loathed Zhong Niangyao to the bone. Even knowing that the other party was using her, what of it? To gain everything and obtain revenge on Zhong Niangyao was what truly mattered to her.
“Very well.”
As the woman in white finished speaking, Shen Yixue saw a strange pattern suddenly appear beneath her feet, followed by a slowly rising white light. The dazzling white light nearly blinded her, and then she felt a sharp pain in her chest so intense she almost screamed. But the pain was fleeting, leaving her feeling as if it all were just an illusion.
Quickly, a drop of blood appeared from her chest and then disappeared. Soon after, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
Shen Yixue checked herself and found no changes in her body. Yet, when she looked at the woman in white again, she felt a strong urge to kneel and show her respect.
In fact, that is what she did. She could not muster any thoughts of resistance, feeling this was right. She distinctly felt as if a shackle had been placed on her, preventing any rising thoughts of resistance against the woman in white.
Watching Shen Yixue kneeling, the woman in white spoke coldly, “Shen Yixue, you will soon gain everything you desire. But do not forget our agreement–to eliminate Zhong Niangyao. Otherwise, your fate will not be a pleasant one.”
With those words, the woman in white disappeared from the spot.
At the moment the woman in white vanished, Shen Yixue felt as if the invisible shackle had also disappeared.
She stood up, looking at the spot where the woman in white had disappeared, her mind full of uncertainty. She was unsure whether her choice today was the right one. Yet, to achieve everything she wanted, paying such a price was worth it.
Moreover, due to the contract with the woman in white, Shen Yixue vaguely sensed that this world was not as simple as she had known. There were many things beyond the reach of her previous status, and many supernatural things that truly existed.
She felt that everything happening today seemed like a dream.
Meanwhile, Zhong Niangyao, after concluding the meeting, planned to leave immediately. But then she glanced in a certain direction and her brow furrowed.
For some reason, she felt a sense of power that should have been unfamiliar yet strangely familiar.
Unfortunately, the presence of that power was so brief, she couldn’t even confirm its location.
Faced with this situation, Zhong Niangyao could do nothing; she shrugged it off, thinking it was best to let it go as it didn’t bear overthinking.
Turning around, Zhong Niangyao quickly left the school.
After the meeting concluded, summer vacation officially began, and Zhong Niangyao also started preparing for her trip to Myanmar.
However, before the day of her departure for Myanmar arrived, she received a call from Zhao Xuanglang.
When Zhong Niangyao received Zhao Xuanglang’s call, she was having dinner with Lu Yichen. Consequently, the two of them rushed to Zhao Xuanglang’s place.
Initially, Zhong Niangyao did not intend to let Lu Yichen come with her, but he offered to drive her there. After some thought, she did not refuse.
When Zhao Xuanglang opened the door and saw Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen standing outside, his gaze took on a meaningful expression.
“What are you waiting for?” Zhong Niangyao frowned and spoke bluntly, “You called me here, surely not to stand guard at the door!”
“Oh, I almost forgot the matter at hand,” Zhao Xuanglang slapped his forehead and then said, “Boss, actually, it’s a friend of my dad’s who needs your help. His child has been unconscious for the past three days. The hospital has run many tests, but they haven’t found anything. So, he wanted to consult a master.”
While speaking, Zhao Xuanglang welcomed Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen into the house.
Upon entering the Zhao Family’s living room, Zhong Niangyao saw Zhao’s father and mother sitting there. On the sofa next to them was a middle-aged couple roughly their age, dressed in tailored clothes that looked both elegant and modest, displaying the discreet nature of a wealthy family.
However, both of them appeared haggard, with dark circles under their eyes and a general lack of vitality, clearly indicating they had been through a significant ordeal recently and hadn’t rested well.
