Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1350 - 1339: A Family of Cannon Fodder

Today Cheng Yixue finally managed to meet with Ye Qiu. Ever since her mom told her that Ye Qiu started working at the Ye Family’s company, she’s been trying to find an opportunity to meet him. She invited him several times, but Ye Qiu, being new to the company and very busy, had declined. However, today is Cheng Yixue’s birthday, and Ye Qiu didn’t want to sever ties with her yet, so he agreed.

"This is your birthday gift." Ye Qiu handed over a box.

"What is it?" Cheng Yixue was a bit curious, but also slightly angry. Why give it now if not before?

"It’s a smartphone our company has just developed and will soon be released. Try it out and let me know how it is."

The Ye Family only entered the smartphone market in recent years. Their technology wasn’t sufficient, so the phones were co-developed with other companies and had some issues. However, due to reasonable pricing and the support of patriots, sales were good. Cheng Yixue was not particularly interested, but couldn’t show it in front of Ye Qiu, so she accepted it happily.

"Hiss, why is it a bit chilly in this summer?" Ye Qiu suddenly furrowed his brows and said.

Cheng Yixue was internally very pleased, knowing that it was naturally because Little Quan was nearby, absorbing the Luck from Ye Qiu’s body. She felt extremely comfortable as Little Quan absorbed it, attributing it to her careful nurturing these days.

"Perhaps the air conditioning in the mall is set too low." She explained.

"Let’s take a walk outside." Ye Qiu stood up, not giving Cheng Yixue a chance to hold him back.

Standing under the blazing sun, Ye Qiu immediately felt much better. She knew it wasn’t due to low air conditioning. She practiced the Body Forging Technique daily, and her body was far superior to an average person. How could she be afraid of just a bit of cold air?

The only possibility was that Cheng Yixue was using some tactic against her, since Yin Qi feared the midday sun the most, so if she had the guts, she should come out into the sun!

"Ye Qiu, aren’t you afraid of getting tanned? The sun is so strong!" Cheng Yixue called from the shade. In places invisible to ordinary people, the child beside her bared its teeth at Ye Qiu under the sun, emitting wisps of black Qi.

"I’m not afraid of getting tanned. Maybe I’ve been too tired lately, but the sun actually feels quite comfortable to me. Yixue, you should come and enjoy the sun too." At this moment, she had abundant strength, and Cheng Yixue couldn’t escape. The child couldn’t stray too far from her, and when exposed to the midday sun, it let out a piercing scream.

As the host, Cheng Yixue naturally was affected too, her face turning pale instantly.

"What’s wrong? You don’t look too well." Ye Qiu intentionally asked with concern.

Listening to the child’s screams, Cheng Yixue struggled intensely: "I don’t want to get tanned, I don’t want to bask in the sun."

"You don’t look good, let me take you to the hospital." Ye Qiu dragged her along, not letting go, "My car isn’t parked in the underground garage, it’s just outside, just a few steps away."

The child’s cries grew increasingly shrill, appearing to have turned into a mass of black smoke. Cheng Yixue dared not stand under the sun anymore, using all her strength to break free, which she surprisingly managed.

Once back in the shade, the child’s screams ceased, but it looked extremely weak, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

Terrified, she didn’t even say goodbye to Ye Qiu, immediately leaving from another door to hail a cab.

Ye Qiu’s face immediately darkened; Cheng Yixue indeed brought something today that couldn’t be exposed to sunlight, was this a weakness?

No, she knew too little about the mystical aspects of this world. Even with high combat skills, she could still be vulnerable at times. It seemed she needed to consult someone.

She drove directly to the city’s largest temple, bustling with people and many monks walking around. Uncertain whom to consult, a girl approached her proactively.

"I know it’s hard to believe what I’m about to say, but do you believe you’ve encountered a ghost?" The girl whispered mysteriously in her ear.

"Can you help me?" Ye Qiu asked directly, contrary to the girl’s expectations.

The girl was taken aback: "Don’t you think I’m a fraud?"

"Why do you think I came to the temple?" Ye Qiu raised her eyebrows at her.

"I know a master here, let’s find a place to talk in detail!" Since even a layperson like Ye Qiu sensed something was wrong, the girl considered the situation serious.

"Alright, thank you, I’m Ye Qiu."

"I’m Li Yizhen, a mystical consultant."

"How did you notice something was wrong with me?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"People in mystical circles can sense Qi, and you have a faint trace of Yin Qi on you, which made me conclude you’ve encountered a ghost. Can you tell me about your situation? How did you find out?" Li Yizhen was curious as well, since the Yin Qi on Ye Qiu wasn’t much, ordinarily unnoticed, only causing mild symptoms akin to a cold or illness, as most people have minor issues.

"I’ve always been healthy, and even though I’ve rested well lately, as soon as I entered that mall, I inexplicably felt a chill. But after getting some sun, I felt much better."

"Which mall? Can you take me there?"

"It’s not the mall; it’s the person I met."

"Are you saying someone is harming you?"

"Yes, that’s why I came to the temple for a peace charm."

"Fortunately, you met me." Li Yizhen chuckled, "Effective peace charms aren’t easily made. Those sold in temples are mass-produced, just to comfort believers."

"I’m truly fortunate then." Ye Qiu smiled as well.

"Since you’ve confirmed someone is targeting you, do you want my help? Just to be clear, mystical services aren’t cheap." Li Yizhen became serious, "I’m not stingy, but there’s karma. We can’t help people casually, and I have to donate a significant portion for charity!"

"I understand, would a million be sufficient?" Ye Qiu had no objections.

However, Li Yizhen was taken aback, quickly waving his hands: "No, no, at my level, I can’t take a job that big, my current rates are around a hundred thousand."

"Alright, I’ll offer a hundred and fifty thousand, and you help me resolve my issue."

"Deal, now take me to meet the person trying to harm you."

"I’m afraid it’s not possible now." Ye Qiu shook her head, "She left looking very ill; she probably won’t see me anytime soon."

"Then describe every detail of your encounter with her today."

After listening, Li Yizhen’s expression grew solemn: "If I’m not mistaken, your friend might have encountered a ghost and is now in danger. Just standing by her affected you; if she doesn’t handle this soon, her life might be at risk."
