The little metaphysical teaser is soft-hearted and wild, and the big boss in the Beijing circle can't stop her - Chapter 3

Qin Yiwan nodded and said casually, “But don’t worry. At most, it’s a loss of fortune maybe a billion or two and a bit of bloodshed.”

A billion or two!

Old Master Si felt like his heart was bleeding.

That wasteful girl!

But Si Xue didn’t believe it. Furious, she said, “Dad! How can you believe the words of a fraud? She’s clearly talking nonsense, pretending to be mysterious and swindling people!”

“If you don’t believe it, you can check Miss Si’s recent investments. You’ll definitely find something.”

Si Xue’s heart skipped a beat at those words.

She suddenly remembered the wealthy Hong Kong lady who had recently pulled her into investing in a beauty salon.

She had indeed poured over a billion into it.

Impossible!

That shop was clearly profitable!

This Qin Yiwan was cursing her on purpose!

“Dad, you don’t believe me, but you believe this country girl and her nonsense? Even if I were stupid, could I really lose a billion?”

“Shut up.” Old Master Si was too lazy to deal with this fool. He snapped impatiently, “You’re married now. Stop running back here for no reason. The Si family’s matters are none of your business!”

Si Xue was unwilling, glaring at Qin Yiwan with hatred.

Lin Lin had said it this girl was a jinx. How could she possibly let her marry in?

Old Master Si glared at her. “If you don’t leave, should I have someone carry you out?”

Only then did Si Xue leave in anger.

But Old Master Si made a mental note to have the butler investigate that investment later. Most of his attention still remained on Si Yu.

“About Xiao Yu’s condition…”

Qin Yiwan glanced at Si Yu, who was now completely engrossed playing with the crow. She had already made a decision in her heart.

“His soul was gnawed on by a soul-eating beast. To restore him to normal, we need to retrieve the parts it consumed.”

As for how to retrieve them?

Qin Yiwan narrowed her eyes.

Soul-eating beasts aren’t very intelligent; they act purely on instinct and hunger.

So luring it out wouldn’t be difficult.

Once it was out, she had her ways to make it cough up what it ate!

That night.

Si Yu stuck to Qin Yiwan all day long, calling her “sister” this and “sister” that, until he finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Qin Yiwan lit a soul-summoning incense and used the spirits in her soul-locking pouch to lure out the beast.

Ten minutes later.

A shadowy figure crept up outside the door, just as expected.

“Fragrance…”

The soul-eating beast drooled, its ugly face filled with greed.

Its translucent form flickered. Just as it was about to step into Si Yu’s room, Qin Yiwan threw a soul-locking rope.

The beast, of course, had no concept of entrapment.

All it knew was its food had been snatched away, and it was not pleased.

Furious, it bared its teeth at Qin Yiwan and snarled, “Woman, let me go, or I’ll bury those humans with me!”

“Oh? Trying to get my attention?”

“Damn little demon!”

A rather domineering soul-eating beast.

Qin Yiwan’s mouth twitched, then she said impatiently, “Cut the crap. Hand over Si Yu’s five souls.”

The soul-eating beast wasn’t smart, but it was very possessive.

Besides, Si Yu’s souls were too delicious.

Naturally, it refused.

“No way. What’s mine, I will reclaim sooner or later.”

“The weather’s getting cold. It’s time for me to feast on human souls again.”

“You damn woman…”

“All bark and no bite.”

Qin Yiwan didn’t bother arguing. She narrowed her eyes and, in the next second, moved in.

With a swift kick, she knocked the beast to the ground.

Then, she tore it open with her bare hands, splitting it in two, and pulled out the part of Si Yu’s five souls that it had swallowed.

The soul-eating beast screeched and cursed in fury. Qin Yiwan was annoyed, so she chopped it up and fed it to the crow.

The crow turned its head away in disgust, but under Qin Yiwan’s glare, it obediently ate it anyway.

Reasoning with Qin Yiwan?

The crow still remembered that ghost she chopped into pieces not long ago, sobbing, “You’re worse than a ghost when it comes to reasoning.”

Those who could reason had long died. Those who couldn’t had learned to behave.

After recovering Si Yu’s souls, Qin Yiwan carefully reassembled the five parts.

On the bed.

Si Yu lay sleeping. His striking features looked peaceful and cool, with an air of abstinence truly the type admired from afar.

Yet, recalling how this man had called her “sister” over and over earlier…

Qin Yiwan paused, her finger brushing over his brow without thinking.

Her master had once said that her aura was too ominous, her fate too unique, that things would never go smoothly for her.

But Si Yu was the opposite.

Everything went his way, unbound by taboos, blessed and protected by destiny.

Only his fate star had shifted—and only her ominous aura could stabilize it.

Together, they complemented and balanced each other.

She had thought Si Yu must be a successful, carefree, and smiling man.

Never did she expect… he’d be a little fool.

Si Yu.

Now, she was genuinely curious what her fiancé’s real personality was like.

However, the next day.

Si Yu still hadn’t returned to normal.

Qin Yiwan, on the other hand, had slept soundly for once.

Ever since she had been sent to the countryside and started practicing the art of Tianyan, her nightmares had only become more frequent.

In those dreams, rivers of bl00d flowed, bones piled high.

Her body was covered in wounds while countless lost souls tore at her, beasts devoured her, and spirits mocked her.

But that night.

There were only wind chimes ringing, endless sky and water, and the vague silhouette of a man standing on the lake, smiling gently at her.

Qin Yiwan had a rare peaceful night’s sleep.

Even her mood was much better.

When she came downstairs, Si Yu’s eyes lit up and he ran over.

“Sister, I’m so good.”

His voice was deep and magnetic, very pleasant to the ear.

He clearly looked innocent and naive.

But the way he spoke sounded a lot like playful flirtation.

Qin Yiwan froze.

The world had gone mad.

A 6’2” man, with that face, was acting cute with her.

Was this what Master meant when he said that being with Si Yu would change her fate and bring her good luck?

What a joke.

Old Master Si, seeing this, couldn’t help but worry.

“Xiao Yi, why is Si Yu still like this? Haven’t the five souls been retrieved?”

Qin Yiwan released a strand of Tianyan energy to check and then explained, “The five souls have been recovered, but they need time to reintegrate. He’ll be back to normal in a few days, no need to worry.”

But as she thought of the soul-eating beast from last night, a trace of suspicion flickered in her eyes.

Soul-eating beasts…

These pests typically only appear in graveyards or tombs. They hate the living.

So it’s rare to see them inside homes.

Especially in a flourishing household like the Qin family.

That beast must have been placed there on purpose…

Just as she was thinking this, Si Yu, seeing that Qin Yiwan was ignoring him, felt aggrieved and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

His eyes clearly said: “Praise me, Sister.”
