Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 162: Scamp of 161 Cities (2) One More
Chapter 162: Scamp of 161 Cities (2) One More
Ye Shaohua possessed only the memories of her original self, an orphan whose parents had both passed away. Fortunately, her parents left her enough wealth, and with recommendations from those around her, she had also purchased this one-bedroom apartment.
However, the original owner was unlucky throughout her life, often bringing misfortune to those who got too close to her. Due to her parents’ early demise, neighbors secretly called her a disaster star, leaving her without any true friends.
It wasn’t until university that her situation somewhat improved, and she made a boyfriend, Cui Hao.
But unexpectedly, what was an improving situation turned for the worse, her mental state becoming increasingly hazy, frequently waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night.
Just last week, on Thursday night after nine, passing by the lakeside after their evening class, the usually bustling lakeside was deserted except for the two of them. However, when she turned around, she saw a severed head resting on Cui Hao’s shoulder.
She let out a scream, and from that day on, the forum was buzzing with rumors of the beautiful school belle possibly having delusions.
Cui Hao called her to break up.
After that night, the original owner was haunted every day by the female ghost that had clung to Cui Hao’s shoulder, and under the torment, she chose suicide. Then Ye Shaohua crossed over into this world.
After she died, Xun Yilin took the Jade Pendant from her body in the name of Cui Hao. The original owner then realized that all this was a sham designed by Xun Yilin, with their intentions set on her Jade Pendant from the very beginning.
Cui Hao had been toying with her all along.
This time, the original owner’s mission was seemingly simple: one was to ensure that Cui Hao and his accomplice received the punishment they deserved, and two, she wanted to find out who was truly behind her misfortune.
Because it seemed that Xun Yilin and her companion didn’t believe in the existence of ghosts and deities.
As for why it was a compulsory mission.
Ye Shaohua turned around and looked at the room that had turned into a site of malevolence. If she had been directly transferred to this world without learning anything, she wouldn’t have been able to resolve this deadly calamity, right?
She ordered some takeout on her phone, then found some bandages to treat the wounds on her wrist. After the food arrived and she recovered some strength from eating, Ye Shaohua started to assess the layout of the entire room.
The house was already set in its layout, and at this point, changing the structure was impossible.
Of course, Ye Shaohua hadn’t thought about moving. Not to mention that moving wasn’t an easy task, the original owner didn’t have much cash on hand.
But after all, Ye Shaohua had perused many Feng Shui classics within the system. Although she hadn’t practiced them, a lot of the content was stored in her mind.
First, she went to a second-hand market and bought a red screen, then to the plant market to purchase a few potted plants, giving the delivery address to the seller.
Finally, she went to an old street to buy Talisman Paper, cinnabar, and a writing brush.
The shopkeeper was an elderly person, who took back his scrutinizing gaze when he saw that the buyer was a young lady, sold some items without asking any questions, appearing sleepy and disinterested.
He probably mistook Ye Shaohua for one of those curious youths.
The community she lived in was somewhat old and management was lax. As a single young woman with outstanding looks and figure, being the school beauty, she quickly became the target of three ruffian bullies.
Even if her physical fitness wasn’t up to par, Ye Shaohua didn’t take the three thugs to heart.
When she turned the corner, she pinched the three silver needles in her left hand, but before she could act, the thugs were "bang bang" knocked to the ground by someone.
"Aren’t you going to apologize?" A young man lazily spoke, kicking the three men.
"Sorry, sorry, lady!" The three scrambled to apologize, then quickly scurried out of the alley.
They probably never wanted to see that young man again in their lives.
Ye Shaohua silently retracted the three silver needles in her palm.
Ning Zhou turned around, expecting to receive a word of thanks from the rescued beauty, but she merely glanced at him indifferently and then said, "Don’t take a car this afternoon, you’ll face a blood disaster."
Before he could even start flirting, he heard her mutter something bizarre.
...Did she get the script wrong?
He was about to say something else, but when he turned around again, the beauty had vanished. Ning Zhou could only shrug and turn back to the intersection, where his friend’s Lamborghini was still drawing a crowd.
But thinking back on the beauty’s words, he paused, "Have fun, guys, I’m going to stroll around a bit more."
In this scorching heat, the more Ning Zhou walked, the more irritated he felt, wondering if he was under some sort of spell.
Just as he couldn’t bear it and asked a driver to come pick him up, his friend called.
His childhood friend had been in a car accident; his legs were injured but fortunately not severely.
"Ning Zhou, it’s good you weren’t in the car at the time. The passenger seat is completely wrecked. If you had been inside, it’s likely you wouldn’t have been as lucky," his friend said, still shaken.
Then Ning Zhou’s mother, father, and grandfather all called to check on him.
After hanging up, Ning Zhou was covered in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, Ye Shaohua had already arrived home.
To walk into a house and be greeted by red is considered very auspicious in Feng Shui. Ye Shaohua positioned it between the living room and the restroom, blocking the foul air from the restroom and visually granting a warm and spring-like feel.
Considering wood produces metal, she specially bought potted plants. Greenery represents wood, and her living room faced west. Living rooms that face west favor blue and green. Placing green plants not only suppressed the drawbacks of strong sunlight but also served to attract wealth.
By the time she was done with all this, it was almost dark.
Ye Shaohua could distinctly feel that the Yin Qi in the room had decreased significantly compared to before.
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
With such a reputation, her neighbors generally kept their distance, and she had very few people who were close to her.
As she pondered this, she opened the door to find a very young woman standing outside, holding some books. Seeing the vibrant Ye Shaohua, she was visibly surprised, "Shaohua, are you alright?"
Ye Shaohua searched her memory and recognized her as Lin Weiwei, one of her few friends from childhood.
"I’m fine," Ye Shaohua replied indifferently, her face devoid of any particular expression.
Luckily, Lin Weiwei didn’t notice and just looked at the living room in astonishment. Although there were only a few additional items in the living room, it felt like a big change had taken place, even giving off the impression that Ye Shaohua herself had changed.
"It’s good you’re okay," Lin Weiwei glanced at the wounds on Ye Shaohua’s wrist, "I heard about what happened with Cui Hao. Don’t take it too hard, Shaohua. A person like him was always out of our league, don’t do anything foolish again."
Ye Shaohua nodded, "I understand."
Without the usual tears of pain or complaints, Lin Weiwei looked at Ye Shaohua in astonishment.
If she wasn’t so familiar with Ye Shaohua, she might have thought the person in front of her had been switched with someone else.
"I brought you some takeout," Lin Weiwei shifted her gaze, "Don’t blame Yueyue and the others for not coming to see you. You know the situation you’re in, they are actually a bit scared of you... That video of you from the other night is still up on the forum, and there are some unpleasant rumors around school..."
