Chapter 16: Using Possession Technique to Save Sun Zhilan

Sun Zhilan was led all the way out of the train station by the middle-aged woman in red, walking straight toward a white van parked by the roadside.

Seeing that van, Sun Zhilan was completely overwhelmed by despair. She didn't even dare to imagine what kind of ordeal she would face if she were taken into that vehicle.

Just as she was about to be forced into the van, her weak, limp body suddenly gained a surge of strength, and a strange female voice she had never heard before suddenly appeared in her ear.

"Sun Zhilan, I am going to remotely control your body to take these human traffickers down. Do not resist my power."

After the voice finished speaking, she heard her father's anxious voice.

"Lanlan, don't be afraid, Daddy is here!"

Sun Ping stood by the edge of the courtyard, his face full of worry, watching Yang Fan, who was surrounded by talisman papers in the middle of the yard. *Master, please, it must work! She is his only precious daughter!*

In the center of the courtyard, Yang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed. Talisman papers hovered in the air all around her, flowing with golden light. Placed in front of her was a small teddy bear that Sun Zhilan had played with since childhood.

Using talismans to form an array, she was performing the Possession Technique.

Her consciousness had temporarily possessed Sun Zhilan to control her body and seize those human traffickers.

Rather than finding ways to avoid disasters, it was better to uproot the source of evil; this had always been her code of conduct.

"...Okay, Daddy, I'm so scared."

Sun Zhilan's terrified voice drifted from within the formation. Sun Ping burst into tears out of heartache, and he hurriedly shouted toward the center of the array, "Lanlan, don't be afraid, the Master will help us!"

Although she was currently in a different space, hearing her father's voice made Sun Zhilan feel less afraid.

Her body had regained strength, but she had lost control. She watched like a bystander as her own body beat those human traffickers one by one until their faces were swollen like pig heads.

*So cool!*

The middle-aged woman in red had not expected Sun Zhilan to suddenly fight back. "Ah!"

Controlled by Yang Fan, Sun Zhilan delivered a kick to her chest. With a "crack," she heard the sound of her own bone breaking.

"Help! Someone's being beaten to death! You..."

'Sun Zhilan' threw a punch, and the middle-aged woman instantly fainted.

"Call the police, quickly! They are human traffickers!" 'Sun Zhilan' shouted to the surrounding onlookers.

Hearing that they were traffickers, the people nearby hurriedly took out their phones to call the police.

The other three people in the van did not escape either. They tried to use their usual tactic of pretending to be a family to gain sympathy from the uninformed onlookers.

But 'Sun Zhilan' gave them no chance. Right next to the van was a trash can.

Next to the trash can was an abandoned broom. She grabbed the broomstick and beat the three traffickers until they were toothless, every strike landing firmly on their flesh.

The onlookers nearby felt the pain just watching.

Human traffickers were the type of people Yang Fan detested most; when she encountered such people, she wished she could send them straight to hell.

Just as the traffickers were about to be beaten to death, the police finally arrived.

Seeing the police, Yang Fan withdrew her speed.

Regaining control of her own body, Sun Zhilan staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Seeing the police officers, she slumped onto the ground and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She was so scared; she had almost been kidnapped by traffickers!

The police officers looked at the several men on the ground who were clearly breathing more out than in, then looked at the sobbing Sun Zhilan, and fell silent, their expressions complicated.

On the other side,

Yang Fan withdrew her consciousness. All the talisman papers in the air spontaneously combusted, and the formation vanished.

She slowly stood up, her face deathly pale. Sun Ping rushed forward to ask, "Master, how is my daughter?!"

"She is fine now..." Yang Fan shook her head weakly. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she fell to her knees, vomiting a large amount of blood.

Seeing her vomit blood, Sun Ping was terrified. "Master! What's wrong!"

"It's nothing. The Possession Technique is a forbidden art; I am suffering from a backlash. I won't be able to use my magic for the next few days," Yang Fan said, struggling to stand up.

Under Sun Ping's guilty and worried gaze, she told him, "Your daughter is safe now. She is in Lishui County; hurry over to find her."

Knowing she had risked a backlash just to help save his daughter, Sun Ping felt even more grateful to Yang Fan, thinking to himself that he must provide the Master with even more compensation.

Just then, the phone in his pocket rang. He hurriedly answered; it was Sun Zhilan calling.

She told him she was currently at the Lishui County Police Station and had almost been snatched by traffickers.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Sun Ping's heart finally settled a little. He comforted her on the phone for a long while and told her he would come find her immediately before hanging up.

After the call, Sun Ping knelt before Yang Fan and kowtowed to her three times in rapid succession.

"Master, thank you so much! You are the savior of our family!"

Yang Fan helped him up. "Hurry and go find your daughter."

"I'm sorry, Master. Let me repay you once I bring my daughter back," Sun Ping said, holding his phone. "Master, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll transfer a portion of the money to you first."

Yang Fan took out her phone and displayed her QR code. Once they had added each other, he immediately transferred all the money from his phone to her.

A total of sixty thousand yuan.

As the sixty thousand yuan arrived, in an angle Sun Ping couldn't see, Yang Fan's lips curled into a slow smile, looking just like a little fox.

"Master, let me drive you back first."

Seeing that she had even vomited blood, Sun Ping thought he should send her home before driving to find his daughter.

Yang Fan shook her head, appearing both weak and determined. "No need. Go. I'm fine; it's just that my magic is temporarily unusable."

Under his guilty and grateful gaze, Yang Fan took her small folding stool and the yellow paper, ink, and brush she had brought, and slowly walked out of the incense shop.

Once she stepped out of the shop, the look of weakness on Yang Fan's face vanished completely.

A simple Possession Technique wouldn't affect her at all; she had intentionally vomited blood in front of Sun Ping to feign a backlash.

She just wanted him to know the great price she had paid to save his daughter, so he wouldn't think saving people was easy and refuse to pay.

She also pocketed that Peace-of-Mind Talisman.

Now that she had money, Yang Fan didn't need to set up a stall to earn a living anymore.

She went to a clothing and shoe store and bought several sets of clothes for changing and two pairs of shoes.

The original owner of this body had lived a miserable life and had very few clothes.

There was nothing in the house at all, not even a pair of slippers.

After buying clothes and shoes, she went to buy some seeds, choosing varieties based on what was grown in the village fields, as well as some vegetables she liked to eat.

Finally, she went to the supermarket and bought many snacks, drinks, instant foods, and some daily necessities. She didn't know how to cook, so she would have to rely on these instant products.

After filling a whole cart with food, she finally went to the bank to withdraw 3,000 yuan in cash.

Once she had bought everything she needed, she called Grandpa Li to pick her up.

Seeing how much she had bought, Grandpa Li was somewhat surprised. "Why did you buy so much?"

Yang Fan said, "There's nothing at home, so I had to buy some things to take back."

Looking at Grandpa Li's tricycle, she decided that she would buy one for herself tomorrow.

It would be much more convenient to come to town if she had her own vehicle.
