Chapter 18 Yuan Munye's Plan

Yuan Munye planned to ask Ghost Advisor after he got out.

Ghost Advisor had been in the netherworld for so long; he was bound to know something.

Just as Yuan Munye was about to say something, the dream time was up, so he was sent directly out of Li Moli's dream.

Back in the real world, Yuan Munye opened his eyes, only to see Yuan Xiaoyao and Zhang Dali staring straight at him.

Caught off guard, Yuan Munye was startled and took two steps back, frowning as he asked the two, "Why are you staring at me?"

Yuan Xiaoyao pursed her lips and said, "I've been watching for so long, and you haven't had any reaction. I thought something had happened to you!"

"I'm fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Moli woke up.

Yuan Xiaoyao asked Yuan Munye excitedly, "Big Brother, did you find out anything just now?"

Yuan Munye shook his head. Just now, his thoughts had been led astray by Lin Moli, and he had long forgotten about Yuan Xiaoyao's matter.

But it wasn't too late to ask now.

Seeing that Li Moli had woken up, Ding Yao quickly went over to help her up.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Rarely, Li Moli replied gently that she was fine.

Ding Yao was a little dazed. Perhaps because she was usually scolded so much, she wasn't used to Li Moli being so gentle all of a sudden.

Li Moli looked at Yuan Munye and said with a smile, "Today, I won't kill you. I hope you can seriously consider what I said."

Hearing this, before Yuan Munye could react, Yuan Xiaoyao asked in confusion, "Big Brother, what is it?"

Yuan Munye frowned and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it later. Ask about your matter first."

Yuan Xiaoyao was slightly stunned and didn't say much. She turned to look at Li Moli.

At first, Li Moli hadn't noticed Yuan Xiaoyao, so when she saw Yuan Xiaoyao, her reaction was the same as Ding Yao's—full of shock.

For a moment, she even thought she was seeing her friend.

But Li Moli knew very well that her friend had gone to a very distant place, and it was uncertain whether she could return.

"Do you know my mother?" Yuan Xiaoyao asked directly.

Li Moli frowned tightly, not saying a word.

Because she wasn't sure about Yuan Xiaoyao's identity.

She was afraid it was just a coincidence, and the two just looked alike.

But... could there be such a coincidence?

Seeing that Li Moli wasn't speaking, Yuan Xiaoyao asked again, "Have you seen my mother?"

"What's your mother's name?" Li Moli asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Yuan Xiaoyao shook her head. "I don't know my mother's name. I just heard the young lady next to you say that she saw someone who looked a lot like me and said she was your friend."

If she knew her mother's name, perhaps it wouldn't have been so difficult to find her.

Li Moli was stunned. How could she confirm her identity like this?

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any tokens on you?"

"Yes, there's a hairpin made of gold in the shape of a butterfly."

As Yuan Xiaoyao spoke, she immediately took out the butterfly hairpin and handed it to Li Moli.

The moment Li Moli saw the butterfly hairpin, her eyes turned red.

She was very familiar with this butterfly hairpin.

It was the betrothal gift she had given Li Qiqi and that man when they got married.

The butterfly hairpin itself wasn't very valuable; what was valuable were the butterfly's eyes.

Because those eyes were inlaid with Seven-Colored Divine Stones, which could emit seven-colored light in the sunlight.

The butterfly could be imitated, but those eyes couldn't.

Seeing Li Moli's reaction, Yuan Xiaoyao was even more certain that Li Moli knew her mother.

"You know my mother, right?" Yuan Xiaoyao's voice also trembled slightly, because she knew that she would soon know her mother's whereabouts. How could she not be excited?

"I do. Your mother and I have been friends for hundreds of years."

Li Moli's voice was choked with emotion when she said this. She never expected to meet her best friend's daughter here.

"Then you must know where my mother is, right?"

Yuan Xiaoyao became more and more excited. She grabbed Li Moli's arm and looked at her with expectant eyes.

Mentioning this matter, Li Moli fell silent again, looking at Yuan Xiaoyao with hesitant eyes, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to start.

Yuan Xiaoyao saw Li Moli's hesitation and asked, "Do you have some unspeakable secret?"

"Xiaoyao... this matter isn't as simple as you think. I don't know where your mother went either."

In the end, Li Moli didn't tell Yuan Xiaoyao about Li Qiqi's whereabouts, because she knew that Yuan Xiaoyao wouldn't be able to rescue Li Qiqi. Even Li Moli herself had spent so much effort and time, but still had no way.

"Auntie, you must know where my mother is. Just tell me, I really want to see her."

Yuan Xiaoyao said, her voice choked with sobs, tears welling up in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

Li Moli looked at the tearful Yuan Xiaoyao, feeling very sorry for her, but even if she felt sorry for her, she couldn't joke with Yuan Xiaoyao's life.

"Xiaoyao, I really don't know where your mother is. I only know that she went to a very far place, a place that we evil ghosts can't go to," Li Moli said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoyao's expression froze slightly, and she asked in confusion, "Then why can my mother go?"

"Because your mother isn't an ordinary evil ghost." Li Moli only gave this answer.

Hearing this, Yuan Munye didn't find it strange, because from the beginning, he had realized that Yuan Xiaoyao wasn't an ordinary evil ghost, so her parents must not be ordinary evil ghosts either.

Now that he thought about it, Yuan Xiaoyao had never mentioned her father.

Just as Yuan Munye was thinking, Yuan Xiaoyao asked about her father, "What about my father? Do you know him?"

Mentioning Yuan Xiaoyao's father, Li Moli's expression became even more unsightly.

Seeing her reaction was so strong, Yuan Munye knew that Yuan Xiaoyao's father's identity was even more extraordinary.

"Your father is already dead," Li Moli replied in a cold voice.

Yuan Xiaoyao's face changed, and her voice also lowered, "Really? When did he die? Where did he die?"

Faced with Yuan Xiaoyao's series of questions, Li Moli only said, "I don't know."

Obviously, Yuan Xiaoyao didn't believe her words.

"I don't believe it. My father must still be alive."

"Xiaoyao, your father is really dead. I personally watched him die back then."

Li Moli's tone was very firm.

Yuan Xiaoyao's face immediately fell, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to start.

She had finally found out about her parents' whereabouts, but learned that her father was already dead. How could she not be sad?

"Then you should know my father's identity, right?" Yuan Xiaoyao still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
