Chapter 429: Helping Situ Li

After that, many things happened between the two of them. Situ Li returned to his country and seized power, preparing to marry Manzhu.

However, he heard that Manzhu was betrothed to the prince of another country.

And the prince of another country was a pervert.

While Manzhu was on her way to that country, Situ Li took her away.

Later, they found out that this was a scheme by the Tianqi Kingdom and another country. They wanted Situ Li to take Manzhu away so that they could join forces to attack Situ Li.

Situ Li used his modern knowledge to create gunpowder to defeat these two countries and deter all the countries.

However, not long after, he realized that Manzhu was poisoned by a slow-acting poison. Her life was slowly deteriorating. No matter how many doctors Situ Li found or how many methods he used, he could not cure Manzhu. At this moment, the people from the Tianqi Kingdom said that as long as Situ Li bowed to them, they would give him the antidote.

In the end, Situ Li compromised. After he was imprisoned, he was not tortured. However, the king of the Tianqi Kingdom personally met him and asked him to hand over the method of gunpowder making. Otherwise, he would torture Manzhu.

Situ Li was so angry that he almost tore the prison apart. In the end, he was suppressed by thousands of imperial guards. Suddenly, one day, Manzhu rushed in and ran away with him, saying to him, “Why are you so stupid? These are all schemes. They just want to kill you after knowing how to make gunpowder.”

Situ Li looked at his lover beside him and said indifferently, “As long as the poison in your body is removed, I’m willing to die.”

“Why are you being so silly?”

Just as Manzhu was crying, the Imperial Army appeared.

Situ Li held Manzhu and fled until they retreated to a lake.

Manzhu looked at the countless soldiers around them and gave Situ Li a bead in her hand. “Li, you told me that you’re not from this space-time. I stole this bead from the imperial preceptor. It’s said that it can open the door to time. Try it. If you can leave, just go. Don’t worry about me. They only want to use me to threaten you.”

Situ Li held the bead tightly in his hand and looked at the approaching soldiers.

He hugged Manzhu’s waist and said to her, “Manzhu, are you willing to make a bet with me? Let’s leave this space-time together, or I’ll die with you.”

Manzhu looked at him in a daze and nodded.

The moment the soldiers rushed up, Situ Li jumped into the lake with Manzhu in his arms. The bead emitted a powerful light at the same time. In the next second, the two of them disappeared into that space.

“After returning to this world, Manzhu’s health deteriorated. I tried many ways to make her stay alive, but nothing worked.”

At this point, Situ Li’s voice was choked with emotions.

“Later, a wandering master came to my house and told me how to keep Manzhu’s soul. These little ghosts…” Situ Li pointed at the little ghosts and said,” Their Yin Spirit can make the spider lily bloom and not wither. Manzhu’s soul turned into one of the spider lilies. ”

Tang Li’s gaze landed on the spider lily on Manzhu’s head. That flower was indeed much more beautiful than the others.

However, Tang Li shook her head.

Situ Li noticed it and quickly asked, “Why are you shaking your head?”

Tang Li looked back at him and asked, “Do you really think your wife’s soul is in that spider lily?”

Situ Li’s body trembled. His eyes were red as he asked anxiously, “Fourth Madam, what do you mean?”

After asking this question, he suddenly covered his chest and started panting.

Tang Li suddenly took out a talisman from her pocket and stuck it on Situ Li’s back.

Situ Li felt a chill run through his entire body, and his tightened heart finally relaxed a little.

At that moment, Tang Li asked him, “What did that wandering master ask you in return?”

Situ Li’s face was extremely pale. “The bead that Manzhu gave me.”

“No wonder.” After saying that, Tang Li looked at him sympathetically and said, “To many people who know mystic techniques, that bead is a treasure that can improve their abilities. The person who helped you was not capable enough at that time, so he did not know that after you raised these seven ghosts, your wife’s soul could no longer be kept.”

Hearing that, Situ Li spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body staggered forward. After a long while, he asked in a sad voice, “Fourth Madam, are you saying that these seven ghosts fed on Manzhu’s soul?”

“Yes.”

“What about Manzhu?” Situ Li suddenly looked at Tang Li. His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. “Did her soul disappear? Or…”

At this point, he looked at the seven ghosts with ruthlessness in his eyes. “Can you take Manzhu’s soul back from them?”

The ghosts looked at him with fear in their eyes.

Tang Li looked at them as well, and they shivered.

Tang Li said, “That’s the only way. However, after her soul returns, your wife can’t stay in the world of the living anymore. We have only sent her to the netherworld immediately.”

Situ Li grabbed the shirt on his chest tightly again. After taking a few deep breaths, he asked, “Will Manzhu be able to successfully reincarnate in the netherworld?”

“Maybe she’s a soul from the ancient times and has already experienced the vicissitudes of life. There might not be any records of her in the netherworld. Such a soul will likely become a ghost in the netherworld. However, if you want her to reincarnate, you have to do something.”

“What do I need to do?” Situ Li clenched his fists. “No matter what, I can do it.”

“Are you married?”

“I do.”

“Then you can do good deeds in her name. You can build roads, bridges, and schools.”

Situ Li agreed without thinking. “Alright.”

Tang Li nodded and asked, “Do you have top-grade jade here?”

“I do.”

“Show me.”

Situ Li quickly went to get what Tang Li wanted. It was a jade flute that was green all over.

Tang Li took the jade and glanced at the seven little ghosts. She said to them, “You guys don’t belong here. I’ll send you to where you belong.”

With that, she quickly drew a talisman in the air with his finger and chanted a spell.

The entire room started to emit a powerful light because of the talismans.

Qiqi and Linlin, who were guarding the door, were on alert.

An hour later, Tang Li walked out of the room. As she walked, she said to Situ Li, “When the jade flute returns to its original color, the merit you’ve accumulated for your wife will be complete.”

Situ Li said gratefully, “Thank you, Fourth Madam. I’ll get people to send you your reward today.”

“Alright.”
