Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

The sound seemed to be audible only to Song Wude. His face turned ashen, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, he still pretended to be calm, wiped the sweat from his face, and pretended to be nonchalant, sitting still.

"Chuckles..."

Accompanied by eerie laughter, Shi Xiaxia noticed a small, pitch-black baby, its body emitting black mist, emerging from Song Wude's chest.

The baby looked very strange; its eyes gleamed red, and it had sharp teeth in its mouth. It crawled all over Song Wude's body.

Its greedy eyes were fixed on the few people remaining in the courtyard, as if it were carefully weighing which one it should enjoy first.

Shi Xiaxia's gaze darkened slightly. She carefully observed the appearance of the child in front of her and guessed that he must have been made into a Kumanthong before he was even born.

Do you raise a ghost child?

Shi Xiaxia turned her gaze to Song Wude again.

She noticed that Song Wude's body was trembling violently, clearly terrified.

It seems he raised a ghost child to make money, but it backfired.

However, according to common sense, after a Kumanthong turns on someone, the first thing it should kill is its owner.

But why didn't the Kumanthong harm Song Wude?

Moreover, judging from the way the Kumanthong crawled all over Song Wude's body, it seemed to be showing some affection.

Shi Xiaxia understood the key point, and her gaze became even more profound.

Immediately afterwards, the Kuman Thong jumped off Song Wude's body, and Song Wude's expression softened slightly.

Then, the Kumanthong slowly crawled toward a passenger.

Shi Xiaxia's face darkened. There were many people around, and if a conflict broke out, someone might get hurt.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked casually, "Boss, do you like children?"

Song Wude suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Shi Xiaxia.

At this moment, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

“You…” Song Wude looked at Shi Xiaxia’s calm face and suddenly realized that Shi Xiaxia had also noticed everything.

His expression was almost tearful, as if he had found a lifeline.

However, the Kumanthong was right there, and after Shi Xiaxia asked the question, it kept staring intently at Song Wude, waiting for his response.

Left with no other choice, Song Wude forced down his fear and tried to keep his voice from trembling too much: "I...I really like it..."

"Really?" Shi Xiaxia's tone was full of doubt.

At this moment, the Kumanthong climbed onto Song Wude's body again, glaring fiercely at Shi Xiaxia, baring its teeth and claws in a show of defiance.

However, Shi Xiaxia seemed oblivious, her expression remaining unchanged.

Just then, the middle-aged passenger suddenly interjected, "Didn't the boss say earlier that his wife couldn't get pregnant?"

"Really?"

Shi Xiaxia's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, her eyes fixed on Song Wude: "Boss, your wife can't get pregnant, so you adopted a child?"

As soon as Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, the originally quiet Kumanthong seemed to be provoked and instantly became irritable.

It gripped Song Wude's hair tightly with both hands, pulling hard while biting him several times, letting out low growls and appearing extremely agitated.

Kuman Thong have always been like this, with extreme personalities and a strong possessive nature.

It absolutely forbids its own caregivers from developing affection for other children.

At this moment, the middle-aged passenger looked at Shi Xiaxia with a puzzled expression, then at Song Wude, his mind filled with questions.

The boss clearly stated that he didn't have any children, so why did Shi Xiaxia say that the boss had adopted a child?

Song Wude was in excruciating pain from being bitten by the Kumanthong and quickly waved his hands, explaining, "No, no! Really, no!"

"No?" Shi Xiaxia clearly didn't believe him, her face showing a look of doubt.

Meanwhile, the Kuman Thong was still frantically tearing at Song Wude.

Unable to bear the pain of the Kumanthong's bites any longer, Song Wude spoke again, saying, "Actually, my wife was pregnant before."

But at that time, she felt that I was not capable of fulfilling my responsibilities as a father and could not give the child a bright future, so she secretly had an abortion behind my back...

Hearing this, the other passengers all perked up their ears, curiously listening to this gossip.

Song Wude's voice trembled, filled with helplessness: "I really love children."

But my wife didn't tell me about this; she just had an abortion, leaving me no chance to stop her..."

After Song Wude finished speaking, Kuman Thong's emotions seemed to stabilize slightly.

It stretched out its tiny hand and gently touched the spot that had just been bitten, as if to comfort Song Wude.

However, this action only made Song Wude feel more frightened.

Shi Xiaxia nodded slightly and did not speak again.

Song Wude's words drew gasps from the other passengers. At the same time, the Kumanthong did not leave Song Wude, but stayed close to him, as if protecting him and preventing others from taking it away.

Song Wude's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He nervously wiped the sweat away while also dealing with other passengers.

As night deepened, the temperature in the courtyard dropped, and the other travelers began to feel cold and started to leave one after another.

In the end, only Song Wude and Shi Xiaxia remained in the same place.

Only after everyone had left did Song Wude dare to breathe a sigh of relief and turn back into the building.

When he entered the hall, he found Shi Xiaxia still sitting quietly in her chair, without moving.

He asked cautiously, "Miss, aren't you going back to sleep?"

His voice held a hint of pleading; he hoped Shi Xiaxia could help him escape his current predicament.

Shi Xiaxia raised her head, glanced coldly at Song Wude, but did not answer his question.

Her eyes revealed a cold aura, as if she had already seen through Song Wude's inner fears and secrets.

Song Wude was frightened by Shi Xiaxia's gaze, and his heart sank.

He knew that Shi Xiaxia already understood everything he had done. He wanted to explain and beg Shi Xiaxia to save his life, but the Kumanthong was still crawling on him, making it impossible for him to speak.

Song Wude's lips trembled. He tried to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

He dared not speak, for fear that the Kumanthong would hear.

Song Wude silently turned around and dragged his heavy steps back to his room.
