Otherworldly Merchant

Chapter 603: The Death of the Life-Bound Rat

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

If we dont go out there, she will be killed! Li Mazi hissed.

At this moment, Feng Yuanzheng heard someones voice in the park. He immediately loosened his grip and looked around to find the source of the sound. Then, the entire park suddenly rattled with noise, followed by many birds flying in the sky. They were attempting to do a suicidal attack. 

See? Zhang Yan isnt 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 Mazis face and stopped recording. After putting my phone away, I continued to watch. 

In just the blink 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 couldnt just stand here and watch them get killed. 

They were almost tortured to death. I jingled the Illusory Mind Bell, and the birds fell to 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 dont want people to know your dark deeds, you shouldn't do bad things in the first place! I didnt even give them a second look and directly called the police. When the police arrived, I gave them the footage video of the other two attempting to murder Zhang Yan. The police arrested them for attempted murder. Awaiting them was the punishment by law. 

What will you do to Feiyan? Zhang Yan asked in a begging voice. After the police took the 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 a spirit and she wouldnt be useful anymore now that Zhang Yan had dealt with her husband, she was still worried about her. 

If she doesnt bother me, I wont do anything to her! Everything has a cause and an effect. Your karmic relationship with Zhao Feiyan is no 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 was small. 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 husband was having an affair with her bestie. Zhang Yan was heart-broken, but she didnt want to destroy her home. She had to swallow her sorrow. There was a time she went to her hometown and visited Zhao Feiyans tomb. She shared her sorrow with Zhao Feiyan. 

Zhao Feiyans tomb was outside Zhang Yans home village. No one would go and talk to Zhao Feiyan at her tomb. However, Zhang Yan had just experienced the same horrible situation as Zhao Feiyan. She often visited her tomb and talked to her. After a while, Zhao Feiyans spirit showed herself to her and they became friends! Zhang Yan begged Zhao Feiyan to help her. 

Still, Zhao Feiyan was a spirit. In the end, she had gotten rid of Zhang Yans control, which led to the consequences we saw. 

What will you do in the future? I sighed with emotion. I pitied this woman. 

Zhang Yan fiddled with a lock of her hair and sighed. What should I do now? I will divorce him and start a new life. 

Thats good then! 

Haha. She smiled. She waved at us, then left. 

On the way to the hospital, Li Mazi and I didnt talk. I was thinking about how and what had caused Li Qiushu to be in this situation. 

With her financial condition and beauty, she shouldnt have been worried about finding a good husband. Why did she want to steal her best friends husband? 

Li Mazi seemed to read my mind. Its not strange these days. Girls always appear to have the best friendship, but they are always competing against one another. You bought a new shirt today; tomorrow I will buy a better pair of shoes. You got a nice bag today; tomorrow Ill get an expensive cosmetic kit And, if they keep acting like that, its not strange that they would steal each others 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 for me, the story lingered in my mind.

I wondered, what made the two friends act like this? If this wasnt solved, Zhang Yans tragedy would repeat over and over again. 

I went to the hospital and told Senior Shu everything. The old man also sighed emotionally. But when I asked him how or when we could solve this phenomenon, Senior Shu puffed his cigarette deeply. Kid, dont burden your mind with it. Its human nature!

My heart was in pain, but I had nothing to say. 

At night, Senior Shu was discharged from the hospital. 

Should we go home? I asked. 

Senior Shu thought, then advised, I dont think Zhao Feiyan will stay idle. We should deal with her before we leave. 

I agreed with Senior Shus point of view. We stayed for several days. Since we had nothing to do, the three of us traveled around Suzhou. It was a good trip. 

Zhang Yan didnt contact us after that day. It seemed Zhao Feiyan didnt go to her. One week later, I discussed the situation with Senior 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 Shu and I had arranged things to protect Li Mazi. Except for the talismans on the windows and the door, Senior Shu had deliberately let his life-bound rat stay in Li Mazis room. 

We went to bed early that night. I even dreamed about Yin Xinyue. While I was having a good time with my wife in my dream, I heard Senior Shu scream. Instinctively, I got up. After putting on more clothes, I dashed to his room. 

I saw that he was alright. He squinted his drowsy eyes and asked, What happened? 

I was bewildered and ran to Li Mazis room. Li Mazi was naked on his bed, but he looked so bony! 

Next to him, the life-bound rat was convulsing. The rats head and body had been separated. Blood was sprayed on the ground. A thick scent permeated the room. 

Senior Shu paled instantly and spat blood. I hurried to support him. Senior Shu pushed me aside and screamed crazily, Jiulin! Take revenge for my life-bound rat! 

He pointed at the window. I noticed that the window was open and the talismans there werent glowing anymore. 

It seemed Zhao Feiyan had help. Otherwise, she wouldnt have been able to kill the life-bound rat! I gritted my teeth and jumped through the window. In midair, I smelled something sour. 

Damn it! I carefully analyzed it, only to realize that it was the sour smell of cats. I never expected that Zhao Feiyan would invite a cat spirit. I couldnt help but curse under my breath. I read the spell to beckon a local spirit to chase after that cat.
