Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 243: Fortune and Misfortune

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Fortune and Misfortune

Yu Qiaoqing has died.

She didn’t want her daughter to have a mother who was a murderer, so after arranging all her daughter’s affairs, she chose suicide.

But the truth is, she couldn’t arrange much, because she didn’t have many options.

In the morning, she made her daughter a hearty breakfast and then sent her off to school.

Then, she spent the morning writing a letter to her daughter, including a bank card and a phone number.

In the letter, she spoke of her love and reluctance to part from her daughter, she didn’t mention her murder, only telling her daughter she had made a mistake, and her suicide was to atone for this mistake.

The bank card was all the savings she had amassed over the years, she told her daughter to be frugal with it.

As for the phone number, it belonged to her childhood best friend, but told her daughter only to call in an absolute emergency, not to bother them unnecessarily.

She wasn’t worried about the police sending her daughter to her father, because he had died a few years ago in a car accident while drunk driving, fortunately, by then she had already divorced her husband, otherwise life would have been utterly dragged into the abyss.

But—

It seems that life hadn’t gotten any better.

She never thought that eye drops could kill a person.

Working in the kitchen, constantly exposed to smoke and fire, she had the habit of using eye drops.

Perhaps out of jealousy, revenge, or just wanting to disgust the other person, one day, in a moment of heated folly, she poured a whole bottle of eye drops into the other person’s soup bowl.

However, for her suicide, Yu Qiaoqing didn’t choose to ingest eye drops; she didn’t want anyone to suspect her.

She didn’t die in her house either, partly to avoid frightening her daughter and partly to avoid causing trouble for the landlord; if she died in the house, it would be difficult to sell afterward.

Before jumping into the sea, she even made a call to the police, asking them to take care of her daughter.

Since there are ghosts in this world, maybe I can still protect her daughter after I become a ghost? She thought.

Then, she resolutely walked into the sea.

By the time the police found her body, it was already three days later.

Ruan Hongzhuang actually wanted to sleep in a bit more, but her mother was coming today, so she had to go home to tidy up before picking her up from the airport.

"It’s all your fault," she said to Shen Siyuan, hitting him lightly.

"How could it all be my fault? Didn’t someone last night keep asking me to go on, continue..."

"Stop talking."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s cheeks flushed as she lightly hit him again.

"I’m going to die at your hands sooner or later, if I die because of this, it would be utterly embarrassing..." Ruan Hongzhuang complained while getting dressed.

"Have you been practicing ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’ that I taught you?"

"Yes, I’m very proficient now, if there’s time tonight, I’ll show you," Ruan Hongzhuang said confidently.

She had learned dancing when she was young, and even now, when she has time, she still keeps up her practice with yoga or Pilates.

This is also why she could pick up ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’ so quickly.

After all, any cultivation technique, apart from its core essentials, consists of external physical movements, developing the body, and naturally, there are similarities.

"You need not only to master the movements but also understand the essence of ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’. Duoduo and the others are too young; they just mimic it simply. Your standard needs to be higher. In a few days, I’ll teach you another cultivation method..."

"How long will it take to match you in skill?"

Clearly, the evenly matched skills Ruan Hongzhuang referred to was not a matter of ordinary combat.

"Basically impossible, because as you improve, I am not likely to stop progressing either. But don’t worry; you will certainly be much stronger than now."

"Hmph, after all this time, I’ll still die at your hands," Ruan Hongzhuang said discontentedly.

"That’s an exaggeration," Shen Siyuan laughed heartily.

He reached out and pinched her cheek, her blushing look had a charm of its own.

The two of them got ready and left the house, splitting up at the entrance of the complex.

Shen Siyuan was going to his company, although he planned to resign, it would still take some time to hand over his work.

And Ruan Hongzhuang naturally went home for a bit, fixed things up, and then headed to the airport to pick someone up.

"Huh? What are you doing here?"

When Ruan Hongzhuang opened the door, she saw Jiang Taoshi only in underwear, coolly sprawled on her sofa, legs raised, swaying about, and browsing her phone.

Ruan Hongzhuang walked up angrily and slapped her on her perky buttocks twice, as if they were as bouncy as jelly.

"You’re back, why are you hitting me?" Jiang Taoshi asked with a dazed face.

She still hadn’t quite snapped out of it.

"Why are you in my house?"

"Of course, waiting for you to come back," Jiang Taoshi replied.

She had the passcode to the lock and could come and go in Ruan Hongzhuang’s house as she pleased.

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"Of course, to go to the airport to pick up auntie together," Jiang Taoshi said cheerfully.

"Waiting for me to come back? I see you didn’t go home last night, did you?" Ruan Hongzhuang said displeasedly.

Looking at her like that, it couldn’t be possible she came over in the morning, that would be perverted, right?

She must have stayed over last night, and didn’t even change her clothes, just roaming around the house.

Ruan Hongzhuang also noticed leftovers of fruits and snacks on the table beside her.

"Hmph, today when I see auntie, I’ll tell her you’ve now learned to not come home at night."

Jiang Taoshi sat cross-legged, her chest bouncing up and down, making Ruan Hongzhuang want to reach out and pinch it.

Her skin was just too good, Ruan Hongzhuang was envious of it.

Looking at her normally she didn’t take much care of her skin, yet her skin was so white and delicate, really frustrating when comparing themselves.

Fortunately, she had taken the "Stare and Stretch Pill" given by Shen Siyuan, otherwise she really couldn’t compete with her.

"You’ve learned to tattle now?"

Ruan Hongzhuang lightly tapped her on the head with a hand, but her eyes were full of indulgence.

"Hmph, prioritizing lovers over friends, I don’t know what’s so good about that Shen Siyuan, getting you all confused and disoriented," Jiang Taoshi complained.

Previously, they were inseparable, exploring food places together, working out together, sleeping together sharing secrets... But recently, she was on her own quite a lot, doing everything by herself, which she found very unsatisfying.

"Speaking of this, I do have something to tell you. After a while, Shen Siyuan will come work at our company. When you interact more with him, you’ll see what’s good about him," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"What?"

Hearing this, Jiang Taoshi’s eyes widened, and suddenly she leaned close to Ruan Hongzhuang’s face, surprised: "Are you possessed?"

"What nonsense are you talking?"

"Didn’t you tell me before that career is the cornerstone of life, your root, no matter if you marry and have children later, you will never give up your career because it’s your support, your way out, your biggest reliance..."

"So at any time, you wouldn’t let anyone interfere with your career."

"I’m not letting him interfere with my career, he’s just coming to work, you don’t need to be so nervous," Ruan Hongzhuang said, somewhat amused.

"Just coming to work? Now he dares to work, later he might ’work on you’? No wait, he already did, he’s too bold, now he dares to work, later he will overtake you, you’re finished..."

"What are you babbling about?"

Ruan Hongzhuang laughed and lightly slapped her on her smooth forehead.

Then she got up and said, "I’m going to take a shower, you better get dressed quickly."

"Big Brain Ruan..." Jiang Taoshi covered her forehead, yelling angrily.

"Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?" Ruan Hongzhuang turned around and glared at her.

"And, don’t call me big brain."

Jiang Taoshi immediately caved, hanging her head and mumbling softly, we’re best friends, what’s the big deal with calling each other, later if you’re hungry, I can give you a bite and so on...

But soon she realized Ruan Hongzhuang was already gone, probably off to the bathroom to take a shower.

Her eyes turned round and round, then she jumped off the sofa and ran towards the bathroom.

"What are you doing coming in here?"

"Taking a shower with you."

"Hey, what are you touching?"

"You seem to have gotten bigger, wow, you even have bite marks on your butt, did you play that wildly?"

"pia~pia~"

"Hehehe..."
