Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

"But what's the use? Your husband betrayed you, and your children were all spoiled. Even if you get so many things, no one can inherit them. What's the point of you coveting these things?" Liu Yuanyuan further provoked her, wanting to get more information from Lu's eldest aunt.

When the eldest aunt of the Lu family heard this, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in her originally dull eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a strange and happy smile, as if Liu Yuanyuan's words did not hurt her, but instead made her fall into some wonderful fantasy.

"It doesn't matter. I'll be rejuvenated soon, and I'll even be able to live forever with the master. What use are my husband and children to me? I have this huge fortune in my hands, so what kind of man can't I want?

The master said that once his magic skills improve, I'll be able to choose any child I want. Any clever or beautiful one will be mine. So, those people are nothing to worry about. "As she spoke, she tilted her head back slightly, her face filled with intoxication and pride, as if she had already seen a bright future of immortality and prosperity.

"Since you said that, why were you so angry when your husband betrayed you?" Liu Yuanyuan's face was full of confusion, her brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of incomprehension in her tone.

In her opinion, the eldest aunt of the Lu family seemed to be indifferent to her husband and children, but when she mentioned her husband's betrayal in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, the anger that erupted in an instant was so real. The contradiction between them made Liu Yuanyuan feel that this woman was more and more unfathomable.

"How can this be the same? They eat my food, use my money, and even want to use my money to support other women. It's simply a daydream! I am the only one who can abandon them, how can they abandon me!"

The eldest aunt of the Lu family's eyes instantly turned as ferocious as a wolf's. Her face, which had been kind just moments before, was now twisted with rage. Veins bulged on her forehead, and her teeth gritted with grit, as if she was about to rip her betraying husband into pieces in the next second. With that ferocious intensity, it was hard to imagine she had just been immersed in fantasies of a bright future.

"Okay, even if that's the case. But what if the master you're talking about, after gaining the souls of everyone in the Lu family and even members of other prominent families, and after his magical power has greatly increased, abandons you and instead collaborates with someone with an even more powerful background to obtain the souls of even more powerful people? What will you do then?"

Liu Yuanyuan pressed on, not giving Aunt Lu any chance to breathe. She was certain that since Aunt Lu had been able to so easily eliminate those working for the man behind the scenes, she must know more secrets and must be hiding some crucial information.

"Absolutely impossible! The Master and I are now mutually dependent. I am his most capable assistant. How could he abandon me?" The eldest aunt of the Lu family said firmly, her eyes showing a hint of panic, but more of stubbornness and obstinacy. As she spoke, she shook her head repeatedly, as if this could completely dispel Liu Yuanyuan's terrifying assumption.

"Nothing is impossible. When he becomes stronger, why doesn't he get rid of you and find a stronger partner? Besides, you are not irreplaceable. Why should he rely on you? Unless you hold his core secrets, there are a lot of people like you in every family. He can find anyone to cooperate with. Why must he have you?" Liu Yuanyuan's voice was crisp and firm. Every word was like a hammer, hitting the heart of the eldest aunt of the Lu family.

These words actually silenced the frantic Lu family's eldest aunt. She opened her mouth to retort, but found her throat choked by something, and for a moment, she was speechless. A flicker of confusion and struggle flashed in her eyes, as if deep down, she was beginning to doubt her relationship with the Master.

However, after a brief silence, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, and gritted her teeth as she said, "That's why I have to get rid of those people. This way, he will be short of manpower and can only rely on me. Besides, he is short of time. Even if I train new people, I will kill them as soon as I see them, and he will have to rely on me forever!" When she got excited, she waved her hands wildly in the air, and the crazy fire in her eyes ignited again, as if she had seen the scene of the master being firmly controlled by her.

"So, you killed Xiang Yushan?" Liu Yuanyuan asked in shock and disbelief. Xiang Yushan's death had always weighed heavily on her mind, and now, at this crucial moment, her heartbeat quickened. Her eyes were fixed on Aunt Lu, not missing a single subtle change in her expression.

The eldest aunt of the Lu family looked at Liu Yuanyuan with a bewildered expression, her tone full of confusion: "Xiang Yushan? Who is Xiang Yushan?" Her eyes were clear and innocent, without any trace of pretense, as if she had really never heard of this name.

"My former classmate, about my age, is a freshman at Beitan No. 2 Middle School. She's pretty, quiet, and thin. She's incredibly strong-willed, but also loves to compare herself with others.

Some time ago, she was found dead in a rented apartment converted from a utility room in a remote neighborhood. "You really don't know her?" Liu Yuanyuan frowned as she described Xiang Yushan's appearance in detail. She was filled with confusion. Xiang Yushan's death was strikingly similar to the actions of the person behind the Lu family's eldest aunt, especially the inscription on the soul-collecting sachet, which was exactly the same. Yet, the Lu family's eldest aunt's reaction left her baffled.

The eldest aunt of the Lu family shook her head and said firmly: "I don't know him. Our master is not interested in little kids. They have no fame, no benefits, and no money." After saying that, she frowned slightly, as if she was a little impatient with Liu Yuanyuan mentioning such a nobody.

Hearing this, Liu Yuanyuan glanced sideways at Tang Ziji, who didn't show any reaction, continuing to write and draw as if controlled by the Pen Fairy. Li Zeen continued to marvel at the writing, seemingly unaware of anything unusual, occasionally venting about his own little thoughts and complaints.

"Girl, can you return the bracelet to me?" Seeing that Liu Yuanyuan suddenly ignored her, the eldest aunt of the Lu family asked anxiously, her eyes fixed on the bracelet in Liu Yuanyuan's hand.

Liu Yuanyuan turned around, shook the bracelet in her hand again, glanced at her cheap aunt, and said with a pout: "I can give it back to you, but you have to tell me how to find the so-called master in your family." As she spoke, she carefully observed her aunt's reaction.
