1158 A chosen sacrifice

Ji Nan saw Ji Ziyi had suddenly gone silent and pursed his lips. His doubts were right, his sister did know that snatching luck was not a one-time thing, yet she still insisted on it. Was she willing to ruin countless lives all because of her selfishness? Where did his kind and understanding sister go?

Ji Nan felt like this woman in front of her had become like a stranger to him. Though she was his biological sister, she was becoming more and more complicated. It was as if he no longer knew her as Ji Nan could not understand Ji Ziyi anymore. 

A year ago, when Ji Ziyi returned from college she stopped she started to keep her distance from the three brothers. They all thought that Ji Ziyi had become rebellious which was why she was avoiding them thus they did not mind her and let her stay alone. After all when they turned eighteen even though they had their own thoughts, it was only right that they gave Ji Ziyi space. 

Later, they all became busy with their own things and did not have the time to care about Ji Ziyi. However, they often brought things as gifts for Ji Ziyi in an attempt to get closer to her. Though their plan worked, the three brothers could not help but be slightly confused, in the past Ji Ziyi had never cared about gifts and money but as she returned from college, she only cared about the monetary benefits all the time.

What was more she slowly became too selfish and arrogant. Ji Nan could not understand what was happening, how could a person change so much? 

On the other hand, Xue Ping noticed that Ji Nan was looking at her, she was afraid that he would sense something amiss which was why she glared at him and snapped, " Brother are you going to stare at me all day long? You need to call someone to clean the floor or else the room will smell of chicken soup." 

" So you still know that the room would smell if you throw the soup on the floor? I thought you have lost your common sense along with your temper, Ziyi," Ji Nan sarcastically spoke to Xue Ping who lowered her head and did not say anything. She knew that because of her actions, the Ji brothers were quite upset with her. 

Even though her parents were still not upset with her, they were disappointed with her actions. Though her mother and father did not say anything to her, Xue Ping knew that they were slowly running out of patience as well. 

Though she got upset when she thought about how the Ji family was deliberately trying to be nice when their hands were covered in enough sins already, there was nothing that Xue Ping could do. After all, she knew that if they were pushed into a corner, the Ji family might really give up on her! 

Thus, even though she was really angry with the Ji family, Xue Ping could only wait for her time. 

Ji Nan left the room, he was completely unaware of what kind of thoughts Xue Ping had in her head. Once he left, Xue Ping picked up her phone and then called her brother Xue Baoxing. She asked him to look for the dark celestial master and asked him to contact Master Ding from the Heavenly Moon sect. She knew that woman was greedy and would most probably ask her to find a way to get her hands on a human sacrifice but this was something that Xue Ping and her brother had done many times before as well, she wasn't really afraid of doing the same again! 

Xue Baoxing was also having a bad time ever since Xue Ping's luck ran out, he knew that if he did not help his sister then she would make sure that he would not be able to live a comfortable life in the future thus he agreed with her request and immediately went to look for Master Ding. 

Of course, Master Ding agreed when she heard Xue Ping's request, not only because she was willing to arrange for a decent human sacrifice that would help her raise her cultivation level but also because the fee that Xue Ping had offered her was really grand. 

The three of them arranged to meet one another as soon as possible which was why Master Ding appeared at the hospital the next afternoon when the Ji brothers were busy with their work. 

When Master Ding entered the ward that belonged to Xue Ping while dressed in a black robe with red spider lilies embroidered on them. One could sense the sinister aura that she was carrying, bringing along with her the scent of blood. 

Though anyone would have been terrified of Master Ding, Xue Ping was overjoyed when she saw Master Ding and enthusiastically invited her inside. She smiled at Master Ding and then said, " Celestial Master Ding, I am glad that you are finally here! I was waiting for you," she then turned to look at the door that had closed behind and asked, " Celestial Master Ding can you help me change my luck?" 

Celestial Master Ding looked at the woman in front of her, she could smell the scent of blood from Xue Ping and she could also notice that her soul was incompatible with the body that she had chosen as a shell for her soul. This soul was bound to suffer a life which was worse than death but the owner of the soul had changed her fate by relying on dark magic, no wonder this woman was suffering like this. 

"… I may not be able to help you with the changing of luck but my master, Perfected Wei can help you," Celestial Master Ding replied as she took out a long scroll from her robe's pocket and handed it to Xue Ping before she added, " My master told me to relay a message to you," she pointed at the black pearl that she had handed to Xue Ping and explained, " He will only accept the human sacrifice who turns this pearl white from black, if not then you can forget about the deal, Miss Ji."
