BXBX NOVEL Chapter 217 - 217: Conspiracy
When Su Li saw Riceball’s actions, she asked, “What?”
Riceball bit the corner of Su Li’s skirt and continued to pull her in that direction.
Su Li said, “Alright, stop biting. My dress will break if you continue.” Only then did Riceball let go of her skirt.
Su Li followed Riceball in its direction. Previously, Riceball’s abnormality caused her to pick a person up. This time, would it cause her to pick up a ghost?!
At the thought of this, Su Li could not help but shiver.
Riceball did not notice Su Li’s abnormality and continued to lead her forward.
Su Li looked at the surrounding trees and couldn’t help but say, “Riceball, what are you doing? Let’s go back quickly. This place is quite scary!” Riceball turned around and whined in disagreement. Su Li held her forehead helplessly. “Alright, alright. Hurry up!”
She really did not want to stay in this place anymore!
Soon, Riceball stopped in its tracks. It turned around and glanced at Su Li, indicating that they had arrived.
Su Li looked ahead. There was a fire over there. Why was there a fire at this time?
Before she could make her next move, she heard a conversation nearby.
“When are we going to take action? I’m freezing to death hiding here.”
“Let’s wait a little longer when night falls. Won’t we be walking into a trap if we go now? If we’re discovered, we won’t get to live anymore!”
“This area is quite scary. The place in front is a graveyard. If it weren’t for our master, I wouldn’t have come here even if I was beaten to death.’ “Alright, you say it as if you’re the only one here. Isn’t everyone here?”
“That’s right, that’s right. When Master completes the plan, we’ll all be top-notch contributors. Not to mention the silver, there might even be a beautiful woman…
“Hahaha…”
The few of them laughed out loud.
Su Li frowned when she heard their conversation. Were they really plotting something shameful?
Did Riceball discover the existence of these people today and follow them here?
Su Li was thinking about something when she saw Riceball crawling into the grass pile at the side.
Su Li whispered, “Riceball, why did you get in there?”
Riceball did not respond to Su Li and continued to crawl into the haystack. Just as Su Li was thinking about whether to pull Riceball out, Riceball shook his butt and retreated.
When Su Li saw the thing in Riceball’s mouth, she couldn’t help but be surprised. “You came here for this?”
The thing in Riceball’s mouth was Lingzhi. The last time she found Lingzhi, it was eaten by Glutinous Ball. Her heart ached for a long time. From time to time, she would mutter it to Riceball. It must have remembered it.
“Woof-” Riceball barked.
At that time, it had been paying attention to those people. They still had the smell of Lingzhi on them, so it quickly chased after them. Who knew that it would fall into a pit?
In order not to let those people discover it, it did not dare to make a sound. In the end. it only dared to make a sound when it heard Su Li’s voice.
Su Li was so frightened that she hurriedly covered Riceball’s mouth.
Riceball blinked innocently. Shouldn’t she be holding it up high in happiness? Why did she cover its mouth?
Su Li whispered, “Don’t speak. Otherwise, those people will roast you into a cooked dog!”
Riceball was speechless.
The person who was warming himself by the fire frowned. “I think I heard a dog barking just now!?”
The person at the side said in disbelief, “Don’t scare me. What dog bark is that? I didn’t hear anything just now. Did any of you hear that?”
“I didn’t hear it. Why is there a dog barking at this time? Did you hear wrongly?”
“That’s impossible. I heard it clearly.”
“Then go and look for it.”
That person hurriedly shook his head and refused, “Forget it, I might have heard wrongly!”
Su Li heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these people were not very bold. Otherwise, she would have to hide with Riceball again.
She put the lingzhi that Riceball found into her pocket. There was Glutinous Ball in the interspace. If she threw it in, it would probably disappear. The interspace was not as safe as her pocket now.
Su Li felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long. She quickly brought
Riceball back. As for what plan they were talking about, she was not interested. Hence, Su Li left quietly with Riceball. That group of people did not notice that they had come.
Su Li had just come out of the graveyard when she saw the anxious He Yufeng.
“Why are you here?” Su Li asked.
It had not even been two hours, and the area He Yufeng had been searching was not in this direction!
He Yufeng went forward and grabbed her arm nervously. Then, he sized her up and asked, “Are you alright?”
Su Li shook her head and said, “What can happen to me? I’m fine!” He Yufeng said reproachfully, “How could you come to this place alone? If anything happens, what do I do!”
Su Li smiled and said, “I’m fine! How did you know I was here?” Seeing that she could still smile, He Yufeng was both angry and amused. He said, “I met a man. He was the one who told me you were here.”
However, that man was also a little strange. At that time, he looked at him with a probing gaze and a trace of disdain!
When Su Li heard He Yufeng’s words, she knew that that person was definitely Li Mingyuan. Other than him, no one knew that she was here.
Su Li said, “We’ve found Riceball. Let’s go home!”
Only then did He Yufeng notice Riceball, who was hiding behind Su Li. He glanced at Riceball coldly, scaring him so much that he shrank back.
It was too scary, too scary!
He Yufeng quickly walked over and picked up Riceball. He raised his palm and punched it twice. “Who told you to be disobedient and run around? If you don’t want to live anymore, tell me. I don’t mind turning you into a dish on the dining table.”
Riceball looked at Su Li for help. It didn’t want to become a dog meat feast!
Su Li rescued Riceball from He Yufeng’s hands. “Alright, stop hitting it!”
He Yufeng narrowed his eyes. “You’re still protecting it?”
This made him feel that in Su Li’s heart, even a dog was more important than him.
Helpless, Su Li could only take out the lingzhi from her pocket. “Look at this.”
He Yufeng looked at the lingzhi in Su Li’s hand and asked curiously, “Where did you get this from?”
Su Li pointed at Riceball and said, “Riceball found this for me. It fell into the pit because it wanted to pick this thing!”
Riceball nodded vigorously. “Woof woof-” That’s right! He Yufeng couldn’t believe it. “It still has this ability?!”
Su Li smiled and praised, “Riceball is very capable!”
Riceball raised its chin proudly.
Su Li had just finished washing up when Jiao Yuying quietly pulled her to the side.
Su Li looked at her mysterious expression and asked, “What’s wrong, Mother?”
Jiao Yuying looked at Su Li and said, “Daughter, tell your husband later. Both of you go and burn incense for our ancestors later.” Su Li asked curiously, “Mother, why do we have to?” Why did they have to burn incense for no reason?!
