Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 49 Old Things

The next day, after standing there in contemplation for a moment, Li Tian resolutely took a step and headed towards the mysterious and alluring location of the Illusionary Moon.

Throughout the journey, his mind was filled with countless thoughts, but his unwavering belief always sustained him as he continued to move forward.

Finally, Li Tian arrived at the entrance of the Phantom Inn. The inn looked ordinary, yet it exuded an indescribable aura.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of Huan Yuechu sitting quietly on a bench at the entrance of the inn, seemingly dozing off.

The sunlight fell on her, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

Li Tian took a deep breath and slowly walked into the courtyard.

When he reached the center of the courtyard, he calmly found a stone bench and sat down, looking serenely at Huan Yuechu, who was still "sleeping".

Just then, Huan Yuechu, who had been quiet, seemed to notice someone beside her.

She shifted slightly, then suddenly opened her eyes. Those eyes were incredibly sharp, like two bolts of cold lightning shooting towards Li Tian.

When she saw that the person who came was Li Tianhou, the coldness in her eyes did not fade, but instead became more indifferent and disdainful.

Then, she closed her eyes as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring Li Tian as if he were air.

Li Tian saw that Huan Yuechu ignored him, but he didn't feel slighted, since he needed her help.

Without hesitation, Li Tian stated his request directly: "Senior Huan Yuechu, please help me! I would like to ask you to use your amazing special ability to help me find someone who is very important to me. Her name is Meng Xiaoyan."

I curled my lips into a slight smile and let out a cold snort before slowly saying, "I can't be bothered with the living, let alone the souls of the dead! This is truly a troublesome matter, so why should I waste my energy helping you?"

At this moment, Li Tian, ​​who was standing in front of me, looked extremely pale. His already haggard face was now tinged with even more sorrow.

He lowered his head, his voice so deep it seemed to come from underground, and murmured to himself.

"She was supposed to be the one I would spend my life with, but unfortunately she was framed by those ruthless people and died unjustly. I can't let this matter pass by in such an unclear way, so I must find a way to see her again and ask her in person what the truth is."

I sat there quietly, pretending to doze off, and after listening to Li Tian's words, my expression did not change at all.

After a long while, Huan Yuechu slowly opened her eyes again. "Even if what you say is true, what does it have to do with me? There are countless injustices in the world, am I supposed to care about them all?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian knelt down with a thud, his eyes filled with pleading, "Senior, I know you are incredibly powerful. As long as you are willing to lend a helping hand, I am willing to pay any price."

Huan Yuechu raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued. "Any price? You know you can't just say that."

Li Tian nodded hastily, "Yes, senior, even if it costs me my life."

Huan Yuechu stood up and paced around Li Tian, ​​each step feeling like it was treading on Li Tian's heart.

The gaze seemed to fall casually on Li Tian, ​​but it actually held a hidden meaning, as if it could penetrate his body and see through everything that would happen in the future.

Surprisingly and frustratingly, Li Tian remained completely unaware of this and continued to regard the person with ulterior motives as his close friend or even benefactor.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel speechless.

This innocent and kind-hearted person was so easily manipulated by others, completely unaware that danger was approaching step by step.

Even more seriously, if this situation is allowed to continue, it could ultimately lead to incalculable casualties and property damage to the entire society.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." I couldn't help but gasp, thinking to myself, "Things have come to this point, it seems there's no other choice. I must help no matter what, and not let this disaster continue to spread!"

Finally, I stopped and sighed, "Fine, seeing how much you care, I'll help you this time. But let me make this clear: if you encounter any danger or something beyond my control along the way, I won't be responsible for your life or death."

Li Tian was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. Huan Yuechu raised her hand to stop him, "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. It's not certain whether we can find it. After all, the living and the dead are separated, and interfering with the cycle of reincarnation is not easy."

After I finished speaking, I immediately added, "And..."

I stared at the anxious young man in front of me, and after a long silence, I asked in a low voice, "Young man, do you know the rules of this shop?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian nodded vigorously.

At this moment, Li Tian seemed to have placed all his hopes on Huan Yuechu, his eyes gleaming with determination and resolve.

At that moment, I suddenly added with a serious expression, "Once the contract is signed, it cannot be changed!"

Li Tian replied without hesitation, "Senior, I understand. I am already prepared."

Huan Yuechu nodded slightly. She formed a hand seal and chanted incantations. A faint light shot out from her palm, forming a contract that exuded a mysterious aura between the two of them.

Li Tian took a deep breath, extended his finger and pressed it against the contract, which instantly merged into his fingertip.

The contract was successfully signed. I stood there quietly, pondering to myself, "Could the person before me also be my destined soulmate?" Just as my thoughts were racing...

With her mouth stuffed full and a bunch of snacks clutched tightly in her arms, Qiqing slowly flew out of the Qiqing Exquisite Bracelet.

After finally swallowing the food in her mouth, she said, "Master, this person's request is possible to be fulfilled, but..." She deliberately kept him in suspense.

My curiosity was instantly piqued, and I quickly pressed, "But what? Tell me, tell me!"

Qi Qing slowly popped another snack into his mouth before continuing, "To fulfill his wish and successfully collect the energy bead, we first need to help him find Meng Xiaoyan's lost soul."

After all, without strong enough desires and obsessions to support them, many things are difficult to accomplish.

After listening to Qi Qing's words, I nodded in agreement. Indeed, only when a person's heart is filled with longing will they have the motivation to pursue what they want and to put in the effort to achieve it.

"A lost soul? How do we find it?" I frowned, looking troubled.

Qi Qing shrugged nonchalantly, "That depends on him." With that, Qi Qing flew to Li Tian and looked him up and down.

I followed Qi Qing's gaze and looked Li Tian up and down, repeating the question Qi Qing had asked him to Li Tian.

Li Tian looked bewildered. "Me? What can I do? Just tell me how, and I'll do my best."

I said coldly, "Did Meng Xiaoyan leave you anything special? Like an object that carries her scent or memories?"

Li Tian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled out a bracelet from his pocket. "This is the one Xiaoyan always wears. She said it was left to her by her mother."

I took the bracelet, closed my eyes, and sensed it. "Hmm, there's a faint trace of soul energy."

Li Tian leaned closer and asked, "Then can we follow this scent to find it?"

I nodded. "Theoretically, that's true, but the aura is very weak, so we need to hurry. Besides, we might encounter a lot of interference and dangers along the way."

Li Tian said without hesitation, "It's okay. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."
