Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 603: The Death of the Life-Bound Rat

Li Mazi’s eyes turned red when he saw that. I pressed him down again, making him stay still.

“If we don’tgoout there, she will be killed!” Li Mazi hissed.

At thismoment, Feng Yuanzheng heard someone’svoice in the park. He immediately loosened his grip and lookedaround to find the source of the sound.Then, the entire park suddenly rattled with noise, followed by many birds flying in the sky. They wereattempting todo a suicidalattack.

“See? Zhang Yan isn’t stupid. Do you think she would let someone kill her so easily?”

I was also worried, but my intuition told me that Zhang Yan would have a backup! I patted Li Mazi’s face and stopped recording.After putting my phone away, I continued to watch.

In justtheblink of an eye, Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu were under attack. The birds scratched them. They were bleeding hard, and their clothes were ragged.

At first, I wanted to give them a lesson.However, they were still human.I couldn’t just stand here and watch themgetkilled.

They were almost tortured to death. I jingled theIllusoryMind Bell, and the birds fellto the ground.

After being rescued, Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu turned to me and then to Zhang Yan.They were scared. “You know everything?”

“If you don’t want people to know your dark deeds,you shouldn't do bad things in the first place!” I didn’t even give them a second lookanddirectlycalledthe police. When the police arrived, I gave them the footage video of the other two attempting to murderZhang Yan. The police arrested them forattemptedmurder. Awaiting them was the punishment by law.

“What will you do to Feiyan?” Zhang Yan askedin a begging voice. After the policetookthe other two away, she adjusted her mood.

She seemed to be a good woman. Although Feng Yuanzheng had betrayed her, she still cried when the police took him away.Even though Zhao Feiyan was just aspiritand she wouldn’t be useful anymorenow thatZhang Yan haddealt withher husband, she was still worried abouther.

“If shedoesn’t botherme,I won’t do anything to her! Everything has a causeand an effect. Yourkarmicrelationship with Zhao Feiyanisno more.You have nothing to do with her now.”

Zhang Yan nodded. Then, she told me the story between her and Zhao Feiyan.

Zhang Yan was a smart girl with good senses since she wassmall.After graduating, she married Feng Yuanzheng and cooperated with Li Qiushu to build their career. She had a happy life. Afterward, she inadvertently figured out that her husbandwas havingan affair with her bestie. Zhang Yan washeart-broken, but she didn’t want todestroyher home. She had to swallow her sorrow. There was a time shewentto her hometownand visitedZhao Feiyan’s tomb. Sheshared her sorrow with Zhao Feiyan.

Zhao Feiyan’s tomb was outside Zhang Yan’s home village. No one would go and talk to Zhao Feiyan at her tomb. However, Zhang Yan had just experienced the same horrible situationasZhao Feiyan. She often visited her tomb and talked to her. After a while, Zhao Feiyan’sspiritshowedherself to her and theybecamefriends! Zhang Yan begged Zhao Feiyan to help her.

Still, Zhao Feiyan was aspirit. In the end, she had gotten rid of Zhang Yan’s control, which led to the consequences wesaw.

“What will you dointhefuture?” I sighed with emotion. I pitiedthis woman.

Zhang Yan fiddled with a lock of her hairand sighed. “What should I do now? I will divorce him and startanew life.”

“That’sgood then!”

“Haha.” She smiled. Shewaved at us, then left.

On the way to the hospital, Li Mazi and I didn’t talk. I was thinking about how and what had caused Li Qiushu to be in this situation.

With her financial condition and beauty, she shouldn’t have been worried about finding a good husband. Whydidshe wantto steal her bestfriend’s husband?

Li Mazi seemed to read my mind. “It’snot strange these days.Girls alwaysappear tohave the bestfriendship, but theyare always competing against one another.Youbought a newshirt today;tomorrow Iwillbuy a better pair of shoes. You got a nice bag today;tomorrow I’ll get an expensive cosmetic kit… And, if they keepacting like that,it’s not strange that they would steal each other’s husband one day.”

Li Mazi sighed. I also sighed. Sometimes, Li Mazi understood the situation better than me.

Anyway, after understanding the situation, he was done with it.As forme, the story lingered in my mind.

I wondered, what made thetwo friends act like this? Ifthiswasn’t solved, Zhang Yan’s tragedy wouldrepeatover and over again.

Iwentto the hospital and toldSenior Shueverything. The old man also sighed emotionally. But when I asked him how or when we could solve this phenomenon,Senior Shupuffed his cigarette deeply. “Kid, don’t burden your mind with it. It’s human nature!”

My heartwasin pain, but Ihad nothing to say.

At night,Senior Shuwas discharged from the hospital.

“Should we go home?” I asked.

Senior Shuthought, then advised, “I don’tthink Zhao Feiyanwillstay idle. We shoulddeal withher beforewe leave.”

I agreed withSenior Shu’s point of view.We stayedfor several days. Since we had nothing to do, the three of ustraveledaround Suzhou. It was a good trip.

Zhang Yandidn’tcontactus after that day. It seemed Zhao Feiyan didn’tgoto her. One week later, I discussed the situation withSenior Shu. We decided to leave Suzhou tomorrow morning.

But unexpectedly, something happened to Li Mazi that night!

As we had been cautious against Zhao Feiyan,Senior Shuand I had arranged things to protect Li Mazi. Except for the talismans on the windows and the door,Senior Shuhad deliberately let hislife-bound ratstay in Li Mazi’s room.

We went to bed early that night. I even dreamed about Yin Xinyue. While I washaving a goodtime with my wife in my dream, I heardSenior Shuscream. Instinctively, I got up. Afterputting on more clothes, I dashed to his room.

Isaw that he wasalright. He squinted his drowsy eyesand asked, “What happened?”

I was bewilderedand ranto Li Mazi’s room. Li Mazi was naked on his bed, but helooked so bony!

Next to him, thelife-bound ratwas convulsing. The rat’s head and body had been separated. Blood was sprayed on the ground. Athick scent permeatedthe room.

Senior Shupaled instantlyand spatblood. I hurried to support him.Senior Shupushed me asideand screamedcrazily, “Jiulin! Take revenge for mylife-bound rat!”

He pointed at the window. I noticed that the window was open and the talismans there weren’t glowing anymore.

It seemed Zhao Feiyanhadhelp. Otherwise, shewouldn’t have been able tokill thelife-bound rat! I gritted my teeth and jumped through the window.In midair, Ismelled something sour.

“Damn it!” I carefully analyzed it, only to realize that it was the sour smellofcats. Inever expected thatZhao Feiyanwould invite a cat spirit. I couldn’t help but curse under my breath. I read the spell to beckon a local spirit to chase after that cat.
