Ultimate Goddess System 10 1.1.10: Seeing Him Again

For some odd reason, no matter how much she went around for the treatment, none of the clinics or hospitals would agree. First, they'd give her an astonis.h.i.+ngly large number for the cost, which was completely unreasonable and different than the actual cost that she would see online due to research. Then, they would shoo her away if she agreed to their ridiculous price.

Even though a week has gone by, her grandmother was still in the hospital and she was still going around, looking for a way to save her. During this week, she hadn't bothered to go to school and ignored seeing her cla.s.smates. Her grandmother had been her number one priority in this situation. But Xiao Yunhua didn't have any idea that Zhao Meiliang had been spreading rumors about her in school.

The rumors were so drastic that even the teacher were beginning to believe it. The rumors were that Han Yunhua had dropped out of school to mess around with boys. Such awful rumors shattered the good girl reputation that Xiao Yunhua spent over eight years building. And thanks to Han Yunhua completely disappearing, Zhao Meiliang had automatically occupied her seat as the smartest and most popular student.

In her heart, she deeply wished for Han Yunhua to never return and for her to just die!

Zhao Meiliang sincerely hoped that Han Yunhua was gone forever. But Xiao Yunhua didn't have time to deal with her childish behavior as she continued to look for a place that would offer treatment.

Unfortunately, it was immediately decline and rejection. Whether it was money, lack of resources, or even lack of health insurance, the hospital or clinic would always find a way to make Xiao Yunhua leave.

With such constant rejections, she began to realize that something was odd about this situation. She once again placed her physical body in the dimensional s.p.a.ce and allowed her soul to travel and wander around. She finally stopped at the main Zhou Mansion where Zhou Elder resided with Zhou Eldress. She went through the walls and saw that Zhou Feng and his brother, Zhou Lang, arguing about something.

Seeing her mission after a while, Xiao Yunhua immediately had an urge to make him hers. She shook her head and the feeling, immediately pinpointing it as the effects Ultimate G.o.ddess System. A warning that she had been too distracted! But saving her grandmother wasn't a bad distraction, besides, she still hadn't given up on seducing Zhou Lang.

She glanced at the two brothers and overheard Zhou Lang telling his brother that he would be hanging out in Riverside, one of the hottest night clubs on Sat.u.r.day night. Currently, Zhou Lang was trying to convince his brother to join him, but Zhou Feng was never a fan of being surrounded by too many people, so he was declining, despite Zhou Lang's persistence.

Hearing that Zhou Lang was going to Riverside, a calculative smile appeared on Xiao Yunhua's face. She would make sure that the young master would be entrapped in her plans!

Before she could go and eavesdrop oh Zhou Elder and Butler Luo, she paused when she heard Zhou Feng ask, "Did you ever find that girl that you kept rambling about on the phone?"

"No," Zhou Lang sighed but his playful demeanor didn't disappear, "I didn't. But oh well, she was just like any other chick. There are plenty of fish in the sea, don't you agree brother?"

Zhou Feng only shot him a glare after his youngest brother uttered his last words. Seeing Zhou Feng's silent anger, Zhou Lang mischievously shrugged, "My bad. You don't want a reminder of that immoral girl."

Immoral? Xiao Yunhua glowered at the pair of brothers and decided to make them eat their words later in the future. The fact that Zhou Feng didn't even bother to investigate was also annoying. Why was her mission so gullible? Then again, she's mentally twenty six, so she's had a lot more experience than a high school boy that just recently turned eighteen. But thanks to the fake conversation that Xiao Taotao managed to get for her, she would be able to prove her innocence very soon. At that moment, she would make sure that he remembers these days and his heart would fill with guilt.

It would be her ultimate KO! Just that she would need to be patient until that day.

She ignored the duo and her body continued to roam around until she found herself in the study of Zhou Elder. How did she know where his study was? It was thanks to the original eight year old Xiao Yunhua. If it was normal, then Xiao Yunhua wouldn't remember anything from nearly a decade ago, but her photographic memory was very useful in such cases.

She saw that Zhou Elder was sitting an old woman. Her features were strict and aloof. Her eyes were dark and wrinkled. Despite her grey hair and wrinkles, she was very beautiful. Xiao Yunhua a.s.sumed that she was even more beautiful when she was younger. Currently, the woman and Zhou Elder were patiently listening to Butler Luo explain the situation.

As Xiao Yunhua tuned in their conversation, she was shocked to find that it was about Han Mi.

When Butler Luo finished telling them about Han Mi and her condition, the woman's hands clenched into fists yet her face remained expressionless.

"She is still alive?" The woman spoke for the first time. Hearing her voice, Xiao Yunhua felt a s.h.i.+ver up her spine. It was so cold and void of emotions. Despite not being like her stepmother in her previous life, Xiao Yunhua felt like this woman was even scarier with her aloof behavior.

But why was she saying that Han Mi was alive? What was the conspiracy between her frail grandmother and this Zhou family?

"Zhou Eldress..." Butler Luo anxiously murmured, "our sources told us that she died ten years ago." Hearing Butler Luo call her Zhou Eldress, Xiao Yunhua finally understood that this was the infamous Ling Xiu, the second wife of Zhou Elder.

"Then how did she suddenly appear?" Zhou Eldress flared at Butler Luo.

The anger that radiated off of her body terrified Butler Luo as he stuttered his reply, "We don't know. We believe that she survived and lived outside for two years before she appeared with her..." Butler Luo paused before he finally mentioned, "with her granddaughter."

Xiao Yunhua finally noticed that there was some emotion on Zhou Elder's face when Butler Luo mentioned granddaughter. His expression showed his anger and his hurt, almost like he was remembering a painful memory.

"Looks like her infidelity has bore a fruit." Zhou Eldress added coldly, her eyes following Zhou Elder's face for any changes. Once she noticed that his eyes hardened in irritation, her cold eyes gleamed with a spark of joy and victory. Her eyes reminded Xiao Yunhua of eyes of a snake, enjoying the misfortune of its preys.

"Enough. We speak of that woman no longer." Zhou Elder said harshly, "For her treatment..."

"No worries, Zhou Elder." Butler Luo rea.s.sured, "We've made sure that no one in the country would help her. Her... granddaughter has been everywhere, asking for treatment for her grandmother."

Zhou Eldress' eyes narrowed as she tsked, "How persistent of the pest."

Xiao Yunhua's soul stood before the three sinners as she embedded their actions today in her mind. She would make sure to repay this debt fully and one hundred percent. For now, she had to go and find out what Han Mi's relations to the Zhou family was.

She summoned her soul to the dimensional s.p.a.ce and took over her physical body again. As she took over her physical body, the small gears in her mind began to turn as she thought of a possibility.

"Xiao Taotao, if my soul can take over my physical body, does that mean that it can do the same thing to other soulless bodies? Take them over?"

Xiao Taotao hesitated for a little bit before she finally nodded, "But it's very dangerous to stay in the body for a while. You'll take the risk of never returning to your original body granted in the world, which means that your points will be void. In fact, if your targets fall for your newly possessed body, it'll cause your mission to be void altogether."

"So when do you recommend for me to do such a thing?"

"Only in cases of emergency or when you think that it'll help you win your mission's heart." Xiao Taotao paused and rea.s.sured, "If you do occupy the soulless body, then I'll tell you what your time limit is in that body."

Xiao Yunhua nodded in appreciation until she couldn't help but ask, "Those soulless bodies... where are their souls?"

"Sometimes, their soul is just having a hard time returning to their body, which is why a person can be in a coma. Other times, they don't want to return at all and wish to be reincarnated altogether, which is how death happens to each physical body." Xiao Taotao explained.

Xiao Yunhua nodded again and snapped her fingers, leaving the dimensional s.p.a.ce. She found herself in the hospital room with Han Mi again. Her grandmother had her eyes closed, but as though she could sense that Xiao Yunhua was in the room, she quietly sighed and greeted, "Yunhua."

"Grandmother..." Xiao Yunhua didn't know how to confront the old woman and ask her the truth.

"Where have you been?"

"Grandmother," Xiao Yunhua heaved a deep sigh, "I've been going everywhere for your treatment. Even though chronic leukemia cannot be cured permanently, there is still a possibility to extend your lifespan by a few years."

Han Mi ignored her and gently asked, "How are your studies at school?"

Xiao Yunhua, not wanting to worry her, quickly bluffed, "They're excellent, as always."

"Yunhua..." Han Mi immediately recognized the signs that her granddaughter was lying to her. "Have you been skipping school?"

Xiao Yunhua paled and shook her head fervently, "Grandmother... how could you even say such a thing?" Xiao Yunhua didn't want for the old woman to worry, so she couldn't help but add onto her lie.

"I can only pray that my a.s.sumptions are only a.s.sumptions. Only you know the truth." Han Mi's words were like a dagger to Xiao Yunhua's heart, but she didn't have time to worry about school right now.

"Grandmother, there isn't a single place that is willing to treat you... I found out that it's all thanks to the influence of the Zhou family."

Hearing Xiao Yunhua's last words, Han Mi paled and took a deep breath. By her grandmother's reaction, Xiao Yunhua knew that Han Mi really did have a connection to the rich and powerful family.

"Grandmother, how are you related to the Zhou family...?"
