Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Liu Yuanyuan had only said this casually, not really taking it too seriously. Therefore, she hadn't expected Tang Ziji to give an immediate answer. She wasn't surprised when Tang Ziji fell silent; after all, she had only offered a possible solution. But no one expected that at this moment, the old man from the Lu family, who had been quietly standing by, would slowly speak.

"Speaking of these black auras, it's just as this kid said. Generally speaking, they only exist in the underworld. But we old guys who have long been buried have all seen them before."

Although Grandpa Lu's voice was old, it exuded a steady strength. In an instant, Liu Yuanyuan and Tang Ziji perked up, stopping their eating and listening intently to Grandpa Lu's story.

Liu Yuanyuan's eyes sparkled, and she looked very curious, expecting to hear some surprising secrets from the old man. The only regret she felt was that she couldn't see her own grandfather's face, otherwise, the feeling of listening to the story would definitely be more immersive and exciting.

Seeing the two people's enthusiastic expressions, the old man of the Lu family also became excited. He stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "This dead energy is used by the underworld officials to pave the way. They do this to isolate the living energy and prevent living people or living souls from accidentally entering it when guiding souls to ferry people.

Moreover, this dead energy also has the effect of attracting the souls of the dead, exerting a fatal attraction on them. This is probably the original intention of the underworld to breed dead energy.

Normally, this death energy follows the ghost messenger everywhere, spreading wherever the ghost messenger goes. Honestly, we've never seen such a dense, isolated death energy before. And to think of a ghost devouring it—at least among those of us who have died, this is unheard of and unseen."

As Liu Yuanyuan listened to the old man of the Lu family's story, her eyes involuntarily fell on the skin that no longer had any traces of lines, but the color was still different. For a moment, she fell into deep thought.

Many questions swirled in her mind: Who was behind this? Where did they get so much death energy? What was their ulterior motive for using this death energy to attract the dead? What was they doing with the souls they collected? Most importantly, this death energy had already severely affected many innocent people. What should she do?

Tang Ziji finished the last piece of food and burped. His pale face looked a lot more rosy. He then raised his head and looked at the old man of the Lu family. He said respectfully, "Grandpa, after all these years, have you seen any ghost messengers again? Or any other ghosts?"

The old man of the Lu family slowly shook his head, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of doubt appeared in his expression: "It's strange to say, in the past ten years, many people have died in Lujia Village. But after so many years, I have never seen the figure of the Yincha again.

What's even more strange is that in the past ten years, there hasn't been a guardian spirit in the ancestral hall. This is a bit strange. After all, the Lu family has produced many capable people over the years. After their death, they should all be qualified to become guardian spirits.

After hearing this, Tang Ziji's brows knitted tightly into the shape of a "川" character. He lowered his head and touched his chin, muttering to himself, "If this is really the case, then this matter is serious."

Liu Yuanyuan looked bewildered and asked, "What's wrong? What's so serious?"

Tang Ziji just smiled at her and kept her in suspense: "It's hard to say now. This is just my guess. I'll tell you in detail after I get back to the department and confirm it."

At this moment, the hunter outside the door suddenly barked wildly, the sound being particularly loud in the silent auditorium. Then, the voice of the second brother of the Lu family came over: "You little dog, it's not like we haven't met before, what's wrong with letting me in?"

Hearing the voice, Liu Yuanyuan hurried to the door, gently opened it a crack, poked her head out, and said to the second brother of the Lu family, "Second brother, I asked Lieqing to guard the door here. Don't come over. The situation here is rather special, and it's not convenient for you to intervene. Otherwise, you might get into trouble with something unclean. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have asked you to come and deliver the things. Just give the things to Lieqing and let it bring them to you."

At first, Lu Mingtian felt somewhat unhappy when he heard that it wasn't convenient for him to intervene. But then, hearing that there might be something unclean, and that he was specifically chosen to deliver it, he instantly understood Liu Yuanyuan's intention. Without a word, he stuffed the plastic bag of food into Lie Qing's mouth, then turned and strode away.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at her second brother's back, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile. She waved to Lie Qing, took the food from Lie Qing's mouth, and gently closed the door. But as soon as she closed the door, she heard someone in the auditorium talking to Lu's second brother.

"Brother Lu, you are here too. Have you seen where Tang Ziji is?"

Liu Yuanyuan immediately recognized Li Ze'en's voice. She quickly opened the door and looked out. Her second brother said nothing, but raised his hand and pointed in her direction. Then, Liu Yuanyuan's eyes met Li Ze'en's.

When Li Ze'en saw Liu Yuanyuan, he grinned at her, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, politely thanked the second brother of the Lu family, and walked towards her.

Lie Qing was about to shout when Liu Yuanyuan quickly stopped him, then opened the door a little wider to let Li Zeen in. The second brother of the Lu family left the auditorium without looking back.

As soon as Li Zeen walked into the small room, his eyes instantly fell on the eldest aunt of the Lu family, who was sitting on a wooden bench in the middle of the room, wearing her down jacket inside out, leaning forward, staring blankly and motionless. Especially the strange piece of skin exposed outside her was particularly eye-catching.

Then, he turned his gaze to Tang Ziji, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, pushed his glasses, and said with a smile, "Let's deal with this piece of skin. What are you going to do with it?"

Tang Ziji turned around and searched for the few remaining chocolates in Liu Yuanyuan's bag. He picked up a piece and threw it to Li Zeen, saying, "After all, this piece of skin is a bit large, so let it stay there. However, its veins and genes must be transformed to match those of my aunt."

After hearing this, Liu Yuanyuan's eyes widened like bells. She felt as if she had heard a fairy tale, and her heart was filled with shock and confusion.
