Chapter 10: He Is Dangerous

Page 1/3

The Yin Object Technique is a dark art. By performing specific rituals and incantations using a deceased person's hair, nails, bones, and the like, one transfers the power of the yin object onto oneself, thereby enhancing one's fortune.

Zhang Shimian did not see this, but Nan Yuanman did.

After Liu Hanfei tortured Sister Zhou Ying to death, he pulled out her hair and nails, dismembered her corpse, and extracted her bones to be taken by the Liu family, siphoning the fortune from her body to bolster his own luck.

The expressions of Zhang Shimian, Jiang Lixuan, and Zheng Feiyu darkened instantly.

If it weren’t for the fact that Liu Hanfei’s energy intake was now much greater than his output, Zheng Feiyu would have wanted to kick him then and there. Gritting his teeth in anger, he spat out, “That damn bastard!”

Aunt Zheng’s legs went weak, and she slid to the ground, covering her mouth with tears filling her eyes, regretfully saying, “I should have stopped the old master back then…”

When Liu Hanfei came bearing fine wine, pleading with the old master to intervene, she ought to have stopped him…

“It’s useless to say anything now,” Jiang Lixuan said grimly. “Zhou Ying is already dead. What we have to do now is send that bastard to join her in death.”

Zheng Feiyu wiped his face and looked at Aunt Zheng. “Aunt, now you can tell me about the Liu family’s situation…”

While they dealt with the aftermath, Nan Yuanman carefully put away the small coffin, then picked up the scattered little straw doll from the ground. Gently brushing off the dust from her, she tucked it into her pocket and, with her short legs, was about to leave.

Jiang Lixuan’s eyes were sharp and hands quick; he grabbed her collar in one swoop. “Where are you going?”

“Everything’s settled. I’m going back to sleep with Grandpa,” Nan Yuanman said unhappily, wriggling her small body and brushing his hand away. “Don’t keep grabbing my collar and choking me!”

Jiang Lixuan released her as she said, then spoke, “I’ll go with you to greet the old master and, while I'm at it, tell him about your going to the Jiang family.”

That old master was the man who had raised Nan Yuanman.

If he wanted to take Nan Yuanman away, out of both reason and decency, he had to pay his respects.

Compensation had to be appropriate.

After all, it wasn’t easy for an elderly person to raise a child all these years.

Nan Yuanman’s face instantly became wary. She glared at him. “Forget it! I’m never going back to that damned Jiang family!”

With that, she twisted her body, nimbly dodging Jiang Lixuan’s reaching hand, and scampered off with her short legs.

Jiang Lixuan laughed in exasperation. “This little brat!”

He clicked his tongue. “Fine, it’s late now. We’ll bother them tomorrow.”

The most important thing now was to settle the matter of the Liu family first.

As for Nan Yuanman, he had plenty of time to deal with her.

Zhang Shimian watched the backs of Nan Yuanman and the old master, his gaze slowly settling on the old master’s figure as his brow furrowedI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
