Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 47.1

“Lunian is at Yun Miao Mountain,” Zhan Jiayin gently said as she sat in front of Li Xiao. “I know you want to avenge the Xu family, but some things are more complicated than you think. At that time, the Xu family hired someone to hurt Lunian, and Lunian was only trying to protect himself. I really don’t want things to the point where you’re killing each other. Can’t you guys just reconcile?”

Li Xiao listened impatiently to Zhan Jiayin before sneering. “Who are you to say that? Zeng Lunian ruined the Xu family because of you.”

Of course, Li Nanjue was well aware of this. The Li family was able to grow because it had annexed some of the Xu family assets after they collapsed. So no matter how much Li Nanjue showered Li Xiao in fatherly affection, she would remain unmoved.

Zhan Jiayin pretended to be worried about Li Xiao, but Li Xiao knew, in her heart, that Zhan Jiayin was hoping she’d die by Zeng Lunian’s hands, so that she could get rid of one more enemy. This was obviously a trap for Li Xiao.

However, neither Zhan Jiayin nor Zeng Lunian knew that Yun Miao Mountain was Li Xiao’s home. If Zeng Lunian were anywhere else, she would’ve hesitated, but not on Yun Miao Mountain.

Haha, Zeng Lunian was the one who took the initiative to run over there. But Li Xiao could guess why Zeng Lunian chose that place in particular.

Yun Miao Mountain’s Qi was more abundant than anywhere else, which also meant there were a large number of animal ghosts living there. In addition, Yin Cave, which was located on Yun Miao Mountain, had a crack leading to the underworld. There was a constant stream of Yin Qi leaking out from it. In her previous life, Li Xiao had sealed the crack with much effort.

As she remembered this, she couldn’t help but smile. Li Xiao hadn’t even reached Yun Miao mountain yet, but she was already reminiscing.

When Zhan Jiayin looked at the slight smile on Li Xiao’s face, she felt a slight uneasiness emerge in her heart.

How strange. She already believed in Zeng Lunian, so why was she feeling worried?

 *****

Li Xiao had never fought Zeng Lunian before. This was the first time, and she was sure it would also be the last.    

Because she had to bring the sparrow spirit along, she had to take her to get an animal vaccination certificate. The sparrow spirit was particularly aggrieved, not wanting to get injected at all. But she also wanted to go back to Yun Miao Mountain to see if there was anything different from her memory, so she could only endure the shots.

While the sparrow spirit was being vaccinated, its eyes filled with tears. Her expressions were so humane that the veterinarian couldn’t help but click her tongue. The sparrow was being slightly cute, but Li Xiao kept that thought to herself.

Even though Li Xiao was confident in her abilities, she still went fully prepared. She drew various talismans and was only missing a few select magic tools. Some magic weapons were ones that Li Xiao had never made before. And although she had read quite a few books, in the end, they were only paper. However, she believed that someone full of talent like her would have no problem! She remembered a book she had read and wrote down the materials she needed for a defensive robe. She made another trip to the ghost market and stopped to ask the little zombie about his grandfather’s walking stick.

“My grandfather won’t sell it. He said there’s no shortage of Qi right now, and he won’t sell it unless someone gives him Yin Qi.” The red corpse was slightly aggrieved. “When I first brought it up to my grandfather, he beat me up so badly, my skin turned red. Look!”

Li Xiao discovered that this little zombie stuttered frequently in front of people he didn’t know well. Unfortunately for him, his deficiency couldn’t be cured using medication.

She looked down at his hand and said, “Your hand is already red. I won’t be able to tell if it’s red because you got beat.”

The little red corpse was on the verge of tears.

Although she couldn’t buy the walking stick, at least she had an idea on how to get it. In the end, Li Xiao was satisfied with the red corpse’s efforts, and she didn’t blame him. She walked around the ghost market, looking to see if she could acquire any other materials she could use to refine a magic weapon.

While shopping, she ran into Cang Ming.

When Cang Ming saw her, his brows knitted. “You’ve met Zeng Lixing.”

He sounded sure.

Li Xiao was surprised to hear Zeng Lixing’s name in Cang Ming’s mouth. “Do you have a grudge against him?”

“He’s stolen from us before,” Cang Ming muttered. “You have his scent on you.”

No matter the circumstance, Cang Ming always looked sleepy. He was handsome, but not aggressively so. Instead, he had a kind of harmless and well-behaved aura which made people want to ruffle his hair, especially when he had a strand of hair that went astray and refused to lay flat. It would drive someone with OCD to insanity.

If they were acquaintances, Li Xiao would’ve ruffled his hair. Too bad she didn’t know him all that well. She’d just have to put up with it!

Li Xiao took a moment to explain that she had gotten her hands on a book written by Zeng Lunian because of Ji Qianni.

“I’ve already burned the book. Some of the techniques recorded on it are too vicious, so I didn’t think it should be left out in the open.” Ji Qianni started off as a normal person, but after learning the techniques written in that book, she began to go down the wrong path. Li Xiao sent some ghosts to check on Ji Qianni, and was relieved to know that she could no longer do any harm because she had turned into an old woman overnight.

Cang Ming didn’t seem to care. “If you have any clues about him, tell me. As a reward, I’ll-”

Lii Xiao interrupted, “Haggle for me? Can you get things cheap for me?”

Cang Ming gazed at Li Xiao. After a while, he said, “Or I can help you refine magic tools. I know a thing or two about refining.”

He only knew a thing or two, huh?

Li Xiao contemplated his offer and eventually decided to try refining her materials first.
