As soon as Ye JunFei left, Ye MuXi shook her fingers and furrowed her willowy brows slightly.

Her hands were out of practice.

Just as she woke up in this body, she realized that her soul condition was too lousy. Even though she had avoided Song QingLan every day for a month and learned all her previous training, her speed was still too slow. Before the switch, even if a beast approached her in the primeval forest training camp, she could capture it.

Yet just now, she only crushed Ye JunFei’s bones.

“Not enough strength.” Ye MuXi came to the conclusion that this body was too weak, leaving her with empty tricks, but unable to use her strength. She raised her head, looked at Song Qing Lan, and said, “I want five bowls of rice tonight.”

Well, eating could increase strength.

With that, she lifted her feet and left, ready to go back to her room.

“Wait, Xie’er, get back here!” Song Qing Lan hastily called out to stop her.

Ye MuXi twisted her head to look at her, “No money?”

Ye MuXi was very generous to Song QingLan. She had decided to let Song QingLan to enjoy the rest of her life, and she naturally was not stingy when it came to money, even though she found out that she was going to be penniless in her current position.

Without hesitation, Ye MuXi brought out a bag of money and pressed it to Song QingLan’s hand.

Song QingLan looked at the money bag and was speechless in her heart. ”I’m not talking about money. Mother is asking you, what just happened? When did you get so strong?”

It wasn’t Song QingLan being suspicious. It was just that the previous Xi’er was a soft and weak lady who had done nothing before.

After being kicked out of the Ye family, she couldn’t bear the hardships any longer, and so started to cause trouble.

“Exercise.” Ye Mu Xi didn’t conceal it.

Song QingLan remembered that this girl had been up early every day for the past month doing things like running and squatting. She left early in the morning and came home at night, without Song QingLan knowing where she had gone.

Don’t tell me she was exercising during that time?

In this short month, the changes were so great that if this daughter hadn’t been cut from her own flesh, she would have to wonder if this was someone else’s.

However, Song Qing Lan was still pleased with Ye MuXi’s transformation, yet she still couldn’t help but glance up and down at Ye Mu Xi. “I haven’t seen you have such a mind before. You little brat, was there an issue with your body in the past month?”

Ye Mu Xi thought about it and responded, “Probably my brain.”

Song QingLan: “…”

The bliss that had just surged into her heart instantly disappeared. Song QingLan glared at Ye MuXi, ”What are you talking about! Where’s all the upbringing that I taught you before?”

Ye MuXi put his hands behind her back and did not comment.

She was not the former Ye MuXi, so didn’t it mean that the issue was her brain? 

“I am telling you, no matter what Ye JunFei and that surnamed Han say to you afterwards, you don’t pay any attention to it. As for Ye Junfei, Mother also hates this person. But if you can repress it, try to not make a move. Ye JunFei, after all, is the first son of the clan head. Even if his talent isn’t good, he will still inherit the clan in the future. If something really happens to him in our house, the clan can easily send one or two experts to deal with us and we have no ability to resist, understand?”

“Oh.” Ye Mu Xi answered. But what she thought in her heart was that if she could not do it directly then she could do it secretly.

Destroying bodies. That was what she did  the most often.

Seeing Ye MuXi’s promise, Song QingLan was relieved and her expression softened a greal deal.

In Song Qinglian’s knowledge, although Xi’er’s strength was a bit greater now, she still had a mortal flesh body, unlike those who had opened up their Divine Souls to cultivate.

She wasn’t expecting Ye MuXi to be able to open Divine Spirit, after all, she had tried it before and it hadn’t worked.

Now that her health was getting poorer, she only hoped that Xi’er would have a smooth life in the future, not worrying about food and clothing, and not being bullied.

“Didn’t Xi’er just say she wanted to have lunch? You two wait at home for a while, I’ll go out to buy some delicious things to make for you.”

Ye MuXi’s clear dark eyes lit up faintly. Song QingLan’s cooking was really delicious.

She nodded quickly, “Mhm, buy a lot.”

“Okay. Just wait at home and go wash up first; you smell quite foul.” Song Qing Lan didn’t argue about the matter with the money anymore.

Xi’er had already snatched the silver from the dead. To send it back would be even more impossible.

Besides, those bodies outside the city had somehow disappeared. Whether they could be found was another matter.

In that case, I’ll just buy some more delicious food for Xi’er to get better.

After Song QingLan left, Little Shuang boiled water and bathed Ye MuXi.

Ye MuXi suddenly remembered something as she was sitting in a half-big bath bucket.

From her money bag, she poured out the five finger clasps. As soon as the finger clasps appeared, a stench of putrid smell wafted into the air. The green glow emitted from the five finger clasps were even more eerie, with a hint of abrasive stench.

Ye MuXi frowned. These finger clasps were more like an object of pledge, or an identity badge. They were obtained from that pile of bodies outside the city.

She inexplicably felt these finger clasps were definitely not something good.

“Little Shuang.” Ye Muxie opened her mouth.

“Yes. Miss, you called me. Is the water too cold?”

Ye MuXi took a finger clasp and handed it to Little Shuang while saying faintly, “Go to the trading merchant house tomorrow and ask how much silver you can sell for these.”

“Okay, I’ll do it first thing tomorrow morning.” Little Shuang put away the finger clasps and turned her head to ask, “But Miss, can you really eat five bowls of rice tonight?”

“I can.” It all depended on how it’s eaten.

“Eating too much can upset your stomach! Miss, you might as well eat less, don’t become sick.”

“Eating more can increase strength.”

This body of hers was just too weak. She had martial arts but not strength. It would be a disadvantage to deal with the enemy this way.

Little Shuang blinked, ”What do you need all this strength for? A lady is as gentle as water; that’s what people like.”

“Bigger the strength, the quicker it is to kill.” Ye MuXi said with an expressionless face. “You can’t move easily to kill the enemy with insufficient power.”

Little Shuang froze at once.

Kill-kill-kill people?!

Was she the one who misheard? Did Miss actually say that she wants to kill people?

Ye MuXi didn’t care how much her words had sent waves through Little Shuang’s heart, and after soaking in the bath tub for a while, she got up and dressed.

She walked around the kitchen and again around the yard. Two hours had passed after she took the bath.

“Did mother not come back?”

“Huh? It seems so. Why is Madam late this time? It usually takes less than half an hour to get back.” Little Shuang also felt it was a little strange.

“We’ll go find her.” Ye Mu Xi rose up and walked out the courtyard.

Another hour passed, and the two girls who had split up to search for Song QingLan returned back to the courtyard. However, she was still nowhere to be seen.

Song Qinglian wasn’t someone who didn’t know what was important; even if life was hard, she would still prepare three square meals a day for Ye MuXi properly.

But this time, Song Qing Lan had not returned late into the night. Not only that, she was missing. There was only one possibility—

There was trouble.
