Chapter 353 Can I Ask You For Some Interest First?
Mentioning that made Simone sad again.
After a moment of silence, she composed herself and said, “If we calculate it like this… My two martial uncles must be around three hundred years old or even older, right? And their cultivation strength must have reached the Divine State.”
Only by reaching the realm of the Divine State could one have a lifespan of two to three hundred years or more.
But if one could not break through to the next level; the lifespan would be about the same.
Bailey smiled and remained silent, clearly not intending to answer this question.
Simone then changed the subject, “Bailey, does Jodie have influential connections in the geomancy association? She should have been detained and put on trial, but she can freely go out. Isn’t that against the rules?”
Bailey nodded, “She has intricate connections with certain high-ranking members of the geomancy association. Furthermore, she is not a geomancy master herself, so someone is protecting her, ensuring she stays out of trouble.
Simone pursed her lips, “It’s really shady.”
Bailey chuckled, “Where there is light, there will naturally be darkness.”
Simone looked at him, “One last question: is my martial uncle Jodie’s biological father?”
Bailey sighed, “You keep pestering me with questions. Well, I can tell you this: they are not father and daughter.”
He waved his hand dismissively, “You should leave now.”
This girl is too clever and persistent. He was afraid she would continue to corner him with questions.
He couldn’t handle it anymore.
Simone pursed her lips, “Stingy! Fine, then I’ll leave.”
She stood up as if she remembered something and looked at him again.
“By the way, since I am the reason you can leave the ancient city, can I ask you for a favor first?” Bailey looked helpless, “What favor?”

Simone said, “Before Andrew leaves the ancient city, if he comes to you again for help to counterattack Jodie, please agree.”
The three of them had provided Jodie with blood and hair.
They couldn’t perform a DNA test in the ancient city.
Jodie was still not free now, so she couldn’t go out and ask the Gray Family for their hair, etc.
Moreover, she wouldn’t suspect that the hair was her own.
So, most likely, she would directly hand over the items to the person brought by Melinda.
If she fell for it, it means that the hair and blood are hers, and this will be used to verify it.
And as long as that person used the hair for witchcraft, Jodie would have to face the
consequences.
Bailey will help Andrew to counterattack again and regain the fortune he gave away.
For Jodie, it would definitely be adding insult to injury.
She wanted to see if the person behind Jodie would come to her aid again.
But if they did, it would come at a cost, and it would also backfire on them.
And if they truly paid the price and helped Jodie again.
That would mean Jodie was too important to that person, something they couldn’t give up temporarily.
This constant drain would also weaken the person’s power behind her.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Bailey could see at a glance what Simone was planning.
He would’ve refused if it weren’t for the fact Simone was the key to his leaving the city.
He had originally planned to keep stalling.
But now he could only be led by her, “Alright, I promise you.”
He shooed her away again, “Little girl, you should leave quickly.”
If this continued, he didn’t know how many of his principles would be compromised.

Simone smiled mischievously. “Thank you, Bailey.”
She disregarded the fact he was her master’s great martial uncle since she hadn’t formally become his disciple anyway.
Bailey waved his hand, “Goodbye!” Simone didn’t bother him anymore and turned to leave.
When she reached the courtyard gate. Bailey’s voice reached her ears.
“There are many people who are interested in the jade button on you. Today, a foreigner who specializes in bugs entered the ancient city, probably coming for you. Be careful on your way
back to Cebros.”
Simone didn’t turn around, and instead, she raised her hand and waved. “Thank you for the reminder, Bailey, I know.”
Sure enough, he knew everyone’s actions in the ancient city.
It seemed that there were many people who wanted to harm her.
Simone’s current strength was not weak, but she wasn’t overconfident either.
She planned to make some preparations at the inn and then leave the ancient city.
And she also roughly guessed that Jodie’s mother had hired someone to deal with her.
The foreigner who specialized in bugs was probably a warlock.
Since that was the case, she would stay and witness Jodie’s predicament.
After Simone returned to the inn, she focused on drawing talismans.
Meanwhile, in another inn on the opposite street
The warlock used hair to wrap around the neck of a wooden doll.
He then used blood to draw some strange talisman symbols on the doll.
He muttered something under his breath, and then a worm crawled out of his arm and willingly entered the doll’s mouth.
A trace of negative energy infiltrated the hair and blood
After a few minutes.
Jodie, who was staying in a small single room at the geomancy association, was scrolling through her phone.
34
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she felt as if someone was strangling her neck, giving her a suffocating sensation.
She also felt something crawling inside her body.
And that suffocating feeling made her believe that if it wasn’t resolved, she would undoubtedly die today.
It made her heart race and filled her with fear.
There was only one thought in her mind: she didn’t want to die.
So, she reached out to grab her phone and quickly dialed a number.
When the other person answered, she made a sound of “ah ah ah” but couldn’t speak properly
The
person on the other end immediately sensed that something was wrong.
And just as Jodie was about to suffocate and run out of oxygen, they rushed in.
They pointed at her body and followed the trail of the spell that had been cast on her.
Using a secret technique, they retaliated against the other person.
Only then did Jodie start to breathe heavily, her face turning pale.
Then she looked at her arm and saw something wriggling inside.
Unable to hold back, she let out a hoarse scream, “What is this thing?”
