*****************************

Among friends, borrowing money isn’t a big deal, but lying like that can be quite uncomfortable.

From that day on, Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan no longer went to Wu Lei’s house, even if they pretended not to know, going to their house still felt awkward.

When Wu Lei borrowed money that day, he ran into Li Zhi, and knew that Li Fu might find out, since Li Zhi is Li Fu’s neighbor and they have a good relationship.

Since Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan hadn’t visited his house, he knew that they must have found out.

Wu Lei’s wife didn’t care about losing such a poor friend, what does it matter?

Wu Lei thought the same, he never really liked Li Fu, but having an extra hand to boss around for free was good; now that it was lost, it was fine.

Li Shuning reached the age to start school and was sent to kindergarten by Li Fu.

However, Li Shuning couldn’t stay in kindergarten; her time was too valuable, and going there was a complete waste.

On the first day of kindergarten, Li Shuning discovered that there was a mosquito spirit monster in the kindergarten.

The mosquito occupied a warehouse, and its body took up two-thirds of the space.

Shuning couldn’t understand why no one noticed the mosquito; clearly, everyone at the kindergarten showed signs of having blood sucked, and this was no ordinary mosquito attack.

The people in the kindergarten, the teachers all looked pale, and the children seemed listless; why did no one notice all these anomalies?

On the first day of school, parents would accompany their children, and the warehouse was in a corner where people rarely went.

But while playing games, Li Shuning rolled the ball to the warehouse door.

Then, Li Shuning opened the warehouse door and casually cast a spell at the mosquito.

The mosquito initially thought it was just a child and didn’t take it seriously, but in the next moment, the mosquito spirit monster burst through the house, breaking the roof.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of other parents and teachers; Wang Xiaojuan naturally saw her child standing in front of the monster and screamed, rushing toward Li Shuning.

Since the appearance of demons and monsters, every village and city has a magician in residence.

And the village magician naturally saw the mosquito spirit monster.

Knowing his own strength, he realized he couldn’t handle such a large mosquito.

So he immediately contacted his senior brother in town.

Soon, the senior brother arrived, and the two combined their efforts to take down the mosquito spirit monster.

In fact, the mosquito spirit monster could fly, and was originally not so easy to capture, but it was injured by Li Shuning in a face-off; once it broke out of the house, Li Shuning quietly struck its wings, preventing it from flying away.

Having been injured, the mosquito dared not move, fearing that Li Shuning would strike again; meanwhile, Li Shuning was carried away by Wang Xiaojuan, merely intimidating the mosquito, which fortunately didn’t budge; otherwise, before the magician arrived, Li Shuning might have secretly taken it down.

After the spirit monster was dealt with, the parents realized their children had gradually been drained of energy and blood.

With such events occurring, the kindergarten couldn’t continue classes.

The director immediately notified the parents of the temporary suspension.

For one, the teachers lost more energy and blood and needed time to rest and adjust, and the children were the same.

Naturally, Li Shuning also went home with Wang Xiaojuan.

From that day on, Li Shuning showed a reluctance toward school, so Wang Xiaojuan bought some children’s books, and when Li Shuning was aboard the boat, she taught her herself.

Afterwards, both Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan always wanted to send Li Shuning to school.

However, Shuning’s intelligence made them hesitate.

Li Shuning could recite many ancient poems; on top of watching TV, singing, and dancing, she could do some of those as well.

Li Shuning could dress herself, put on shoes, eat, and handle everything easily; going to kindergarten seemed pointless.

And Li Shuning herself expressed a preference for reading at home, rather than attending kindergarten.

Thinking of the mosquito spirit monster, Li Fu and the others hesitated again.

As they hesitated, Li Shuning turned five.

In the plot, Li Shuning’s parents are supposed to die when she’s five; this time, will Zhou Jinyun take action? After all, her previous attempt was thwarted by Shuning, and the little ghost controlled by Zhou Jinyun was extinguished, hurting Zhou Jinyun as well.

Li Shuning didn’t have to wait long.

The weather had been great these past few days, clear and bright, and naturally, the three members of the Li Family were on the boat.

On this day, Li Shuning noticed an unusual aura beneath the boat, which continually clung to the bottom as the boat moved.

Li Shuning sneered, is it that spirit monster?

Indeed, Zhou Jinyun decided to act.

Controlling a spirit monster was much more demanding than controlling a little ghost.

On the nearby river surface, there were still quite a few people; the spirit monster wouldn’t dare act here.

Zhou Jinyun was somewhat ecstatic at this moment; she had initially thought about Li Shuning being just a child, and without her parents, she’d likely not survive, given the Li Family had few relatives and weren’t wealthy.

An extra child would be an added burden, so Zhou Jinyun thought of eliminating Li Shuning’s parents first, then dealing with Shuning.

Unexpectedly, the news from the spirit monster reported that Li Shuning was actually with her parents on the boat.

In this way, vanishing the whole family of three was even better; there would be no one left to threaten her status thereafter.

When the boat reached the middle of the river, the spirit monster prepared to strike, while Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan were busy fishing, completely unaware of the danger.

Li Shuning was filled with fury inside, no doubt in the plot, Shuning’s parents were killed in ignorance.

Since arriving in this world, although life was tough, Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan had been good to her, and she remembered it well.

Li Shuning lightly tapped the ship’s deck, her substantial True Yuan passed through the deck and hit the spirit monster under the boat, instantly killing the spirit monster.

Today’s Li Shuning was not the same as the swaddled baby she once was.

With Zhou Jinyun controlling, how strong could the spirit monster be?

Upon its death, Zhou Jinyun suddenly felt her mind full of roaring sounds; controlling a spirit monster was through soul manipulation; when controlling a ghost, a mere use of Essence Blood severely injured her, and this time, the consequence was even more unbearable, but before she could think further, she had fainted.

While killing the spirit monster, Li Shuning casually stirred the river water, causing the boat to become uncontrollable and capsize.

Both Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan fell into the river.

At this moment, neither cared for their safety, but anxiously searched for Li Shuning’s silhouette.

However, Li Shuning had long dived into the river’s depths, grasping the spirit monster, swimming downstream with the current.

Even though it might worry her parents, she decided to do so; Zhou Jinyun was nearby, so she needed to deal with her first.
