Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Chapter 331 The Disaster of Kumantong

Sixth Aunt's description gave Liu Yuanyuan a sense of familiarity, as if a key clue had flashed through her mind. This feeling came unexpectedly, and she couldn't help but think of the man in a suit that Grandma Zhao's daughter-in-law had encountered.

I remember Grandma Zhao's daughter-in-law describing him like this: "He was tall and straight, dressed in a well-tailored suit and a wide-brimmed hat, and his every move exuded a refined and refined demeanor." Unfortunately, due to the lighting or the distance, I couldn't see his face clearly, but her overall impression was that he exuded a unique aura.

Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but wonder if the person Sixth Aunt mentioned and the one Grandma Zhao's daughter-in-law saw were the same person. Her thoughts grew increasingly confused, and she remembered the dog-skin bag Grandma Zhao had mentioned. With a determined heart, she looked up at Tang Ziji and asked, "Is the dog-skin soul-collecting bag that Grandma Zhao collected from you now in your possession, or has it been handed in?"

Tang Ziji was a little confused by Liu Yuanyuan's sudden question, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he still answered patiently: "That is important evidence and has long been handed over to the department for safekeeping. Why are you asking this suddenly? Is there a problem?"

Liu Yuanyuan's expression was solemn, and her tone was filled with certainty. "I suspect the person behind my aunt is most likely the same person who killed Grandma Zhao. I was thinking about borrowing that dog-skin bag. Maybe Lie Qing could sniff out some key clues from the bag and my aunt's bracelets."

Lie Qing, who was standing guard outside the door, had very sharp ears. When he heard Liu Yuanyuan mention his name, he instantly perked up and barked twice: "Yuanyuan, I'm here! Leave this to me, I'll definitely handle it!"

Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh at Lieqing's cries. She'd asked it to guard the door, yet it was listening to every word of the conversation inside. She gave Lieqing a perfunctory "Okay" and turned her attention back to Tang Ziji, continuing to discuss the matter with him.

Tang Ziji was full of doubts and asked, "What's going on? Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

Liu Yuanyuan then recounted to Tang Ziji the general story of what had happened at Grandma Zhao's house. Since she had already mentioned some of it before, she didn't go into detail this time. Instead, she focused on the key details she had learned from Grandma Zhao and her daughter-in-law, telling Tang Ziji everything.

After finishing her story, Liu Yuanyuan boldly speculated, "I didn't tell you at the beginning because I wasn't familiar with you yet, and I didn't know this matter would be related. I just thought it was better to stay away from these strange people and things.

But tell me, could this guy be the one behind your nanny? I've noticed he only targets older women, like Grandma Zhao, my aunt, and your nanny.

Tang Ziji frowned, slowly shook his head, and said, "I'm not sure, but it's not impossible. After all, judging from the current situation, the person behind these incidents has a very similar style of behavior, all trying to seduce these greedy women."

"Then do you think he is the one behind the city's child protection program?"

"Not necessarily, because the only thing about the city's child care system seems like a personal initiative. There are no other clues left. It seems that the director just wanted to improve his performance."

"But his soul method is very similar to the way Grandma Zhao collects dogs, and..."

Liu Yuanyuan was about to say something when Sixth Aunt's voice suddenly rang out again: "Hey, you two, why don't you stop for a moment and deal with this brat first? Aren't you three afraid of putting your lives in danger by just leaving him here?"

Upon hearing this, the two men simultaneously turned to look towards the corner. This sight startled them greatly. But in a short moment, the ghost's figure became increasingly solid, as if gradually transforming from an illusion into a physical entity. Its entire body took on a dark red hue, and a pair of small horns sprouted from its head. Its body also grew larger than when they first saw it.

Tang Ziji's eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up. Just as he was about to pinch his fingers to chant a spell, Liu Yuanyuan quickly pulled out two chocolate bars from her pocket and said anxiously, "Hurry up and eat some more. You just used up a lot of Qi. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if you deal with him right now."

Tang Ziji didn't refuse. He quickly peeled the chocolate, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in two or three bites. Then, without hesitation, his fingers flew and began to pinch and chant. In an instant, a spell paper similar to a talisman appeared out of thin air before Liu Yuanyuan.

As soon as the talisman appeared, Tang Ziji immediately activated it, striking the little ghost with lightning-fast precision. A puff of green smoke instantly emerged from the little ghost, and its body suddenly shrank, gradually becoming transparent.

This made the little ghost angry. It turned around instantly, and its appearance made Liu Yuanyuan gasp in shock.

The originally dark red figure now bore a face as pale as paper, like a strange mask covering it. Within this face, a pair of enormous eyes, so black that not even a trace of white could be seen, filled almost half the face. These strange eyes stared directly at Tang Ziji, expressionless, as if they could draw him into endless darkness.

Tang Ziji, however, looked calm, as if he was not surprised. Seeing him like this, Liu Yuanyuan realized that perhaps this was not his first encounter with a Kumantong, and perhaps all Kumantongs looked similarly terrifying.

Just as Liu Yuanyuan was thinking to herself, the little ghost suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs as sharp as shark teeth, and pounced towards Tang Ziji.

Liu Yuanyuan's heart trembled with fear, and she instinctively wanted to rush towards Tang Ziji, hoping to block his attack. Unexpectedly, Tang Ziji reacted extremely quickly, immediately reaching out to stop her. Then, without changing his expression, he stabbed the little ghost with his other hand. Liu Yuanyuan watched helplessly as the little ghost bit Tang Ziji's hand. This made Liu Yuanyuan extremely nervous, fearing that Tang Ziji had been irreparably hurt.

But what Liu Yuanyuan never expected was that Tang Ziji seemed fine, but the little ghost's body swelled up rapidly like a balloon, and then exploded with a "bang", turning into a thick black gas.

What was strange was that the black air did not dissipate. Instead, it pounced on the unconscious eldest aunt of the Lu family like a group of hungry wolves.

The eldest aunt of the Lu family's body suddenly twitched violently, and then her eyes suddenly widened, her eyes full of fear, staring straight ahead, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. Her appearance was chilling, and the air in the whole room seemed to solidify, filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
