Chapter 174 Zheng Yueling and the Box

"No, that's impossible..."

Bai Zhi saw a beautiful and graceful woman, a face that was once very familiar...

That was actually Zheng Yueling!

Zheng Yueling seemed to be sound asleep, with her chest rising and falling slightly, a sweet smile on her lips, and her face full of vitality. In her arms, she held a square box made of black jade, occupying both of her arms.

Apart from Zheng Yueling and the square box in her arms, no other background could be seen clearly.

"Could it be that after 'my' body was processed by Zheng Yueling, it turned into ashes in that square box?"

Bai Zhi never expected that he would be in a box!

"This witch actually crushed 'me' into ashes?! But what happened to the stump of the limb that was discovered by human officials? First amputated and then burned into ashes? But why is this necessary and what is the purpose... ..”

"And if it was Zheng Yueling who handled it, how did she get cremated? Wait, I almost forgot that the witch's abilities include using thunder and lightning..."

Just as Bai Zhi kept thinking, a call from Xiao Shu came:

"Master, the time has come."

If he stays any longer, even if Bai Zhi doesn't explore further, he will be negatively affected by the existence of the spiritual world.

She also felt that more and more invisible eyes were watching her.

Bai Zhi stopped his thoughts, restrained his mental power, and sensed his body in the real world spiritually, returning to reality in an instant.

The blue-purple eyes slowly opened, still a little out of focus. The breeze outside the window blew by, and there was a cool and refreshing feeling behind her.

She always felt like something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, there was a flash of brilliance in her eyes:

"The speculations I just made are all based on that scene happening in the past, the past before Zheng Yueling's death..."

"What if... the divination scene didn't happen before I 'killed' Zheng Yueling?"

"If that scene happened some time after I escaped from Zheng Yueling's house..."

"Even...right now?"

One thought comes to this,

A cold feeling spread from the soles of her feet to Bai Zhi's cheeks, causing her eyes to turn cold.

"But she should be dead, I've confirmed it."

"I confirmed..." Bai Zhi murmured in a low voice.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something again, and the light and shadow of memories appeared in her eyes——

In the messy living room, insects were crawling everywhere.

Zheng Yueling's face was pale, her body was stained with blood and covered with wounds cut by spider silk.

The demonic woman's lips trembled, and the moment her spiritual essence was completely extracted, she fell down weakly.

And the demon spider, who was trapped in the idea, fled the scene in a hurry because the evolution was about to begin, so that it ignored some things...

For example, system prompts.

At that time, the demon spider only confirmed that Zheng Yueling was no longer alive.

But he clearly didn’t hear the notification that Zheng Yueling’s status was updated to “death”!

"..."

There was an oppressive silence in the room, and a bone-chilling chill spread.

Even Bai Huahua, who sensed something was wrong in the bathroom, was so frightened by the smell that she didn't dare to come out. She could only hide under the water and tremble.

What's wrong with Sister Bai Zhi? She seems very angry? It doesn't look like that. Forget it, don't go find her now. What if she gets angry at me? Bai Huahua thought uneasily.

"Dear Master, have you divined something in the spiritual world..." Xiao Cui asked with a trembling voice.

"How could this happen..." Bai Zhiliu frowned slightly and murmured to himself:

"But it's also possible that the system reminded her that she was indeed dead, but I ignored it because of the emergency... Maybe I was overthinking it."

"Huh..." Bai Zhi took a deep breath, calmed down his fluctuating breath, and said to Xiao Shu:

"At night, I have to enter the spirit world again."

Entering the spirit world multiple times within a day would increase the risk exponentially, but Bai Zhi had to do it.

...

At night, Bai Zhi entered the spiritual world again.

At this time, she was no longer surprised by the gazes of those spiritual beings.

She contemplated Zheng Yueling's appearance, her past interactions, and repeated silently:

"The whereabouts of Zheng Yueling..."

After a while, a pink-purple halo appeared in Bai Zhi's sight, and then there were no more changes.

"That's it?"

She was unwilling to give in and began to recite silently:

"Is Zheng Yueling alive or dead?"

This time, nothing happened.

Finding almost nothing, Bai Zhi had no choice but to withdraw from the spirit world.

She looked out the window in a distant direction, where Yong'an City is located.

She said nothing, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, Xiao Cui reminded him softly: "Master, you need to know that divination is not omnipotent..."

Bai Zhi's eyes reflected the lights of the city, and she nodded slightly: "I already know."

"Since the first divination during the day, I have been a little impatient. Maybe I overestimated. She is already dead. I still need to find all the answers myself."

"I'll find it."

As he finished speaking, a cool feeling wrapped around Bai Zhi's waist.

Bai Huahua softly asked, "Did the thing on my elder sister's ear make you angry? Or... let's throw it away?"

Bai Zhi chuckled, grabbed the little snake's head, and asked:

"Huahua, do you want to go home?"

......

The next day,

It was also the fourth day since leaving Jiuli Dongtian. After more than half a month, Bai Zhi returned to Yong'an City.

Thanks to the necessary items that Gui Yu left for her before, otherwise Bai Zhi would have no money on her body and would not know how many months it would take to walk on foot.

The necessary items were put into a suitcase.

In the suitcase were a bank card with 100,000 yuan, identity related certificates, a mobile phone, a tablet, a set of women's autumn clothing, including a long autumn light-colored windbreaker and a low-waisted skirt, and several masks and other daily necessities.

These were not actively requested by Bai Zhi, and it also avoided her mentioning the embarrassment of not being able to afford clothes.

"This Guiyu... is very thoughtful..."

"I can't always wear clothes given to me by others."

With a sigh, Bai Zhi changed into the clothes provided by Guiyu, took the bank card, put on a mask to cover the part of her face that was too eye-catching, and walked into a shopping mall.

As for Bai Huahua, she left her in the hotel where she stayed.

There is still some time before the exchange student "Osuya" officially reports to Xingchuan University, and Bai Zhi decided to use this time to adapt to human life.

To be more precise, it is to adapt to the lifestyle of "wearing women's clothes"...
