Chapter 465: Won’t you have indigestion?
"What kind of nonsense do you still care about saving face? Later? Later still? You're still not satisfied! Do you want our whole family to die because of your stupid hobby before you're happy?"
"Oh, honey, what are you saying? Of course I want everyone to be well, but what you're saying really hurts my feelings."
"If you want everyone to be well, then hurry up and get rid of all those old antiques of yours. Donate them or sell them, but don't let me see them again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" An elder in his fifties was being pinched and yelled at by his wife in front of so many younger people. He had lost all face.
But he didn't dare to resist at all, enduring his wife's raging anger in a miserable and cowardly manner, not daring to utter a single word.
At the critical moment, it was the eldest son who was more cautious and spoke up to save his father from danger.
"Dad, Mom, stop making a scene. The guests are still here. The most important thing right now is to think of a solution to this."
The two of them then seemed to wake from a dream and turned their gazes to Ye Wanxi at the same time.
Zhang's mother was alright, since she hadn't had any conflict with Ye Wanxi earlier.
Mr. Zhang was a little embarrassed, but fortunately he was flexible and resilient. Having just lost face, he was now even more determined to give up.
“Miss Ye, it was wrong of me to doubt you just now. I was blind and short-sighted. But my son and daughter are innocent. What do you think is the best way to resolve this matter?”
Ye Wanxi hadn't come for him in the first place, so naturally she wouldn't hold it against him: "Exorcising evil is simple, it's just this painting..."
Mr. Zhang immediately understood what he meant, and his face turned slightly pale. That was human skin!
Even though hundreds of years have passed, it still doesn't change the fact that it was made of human skin.
Mr. Zhang was now staring at the picture and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He wished Ye Wanxi would pack it up and take it with her.
"Ahem, let's not trouble you two with this matter. Why don't you help us handle it?"
Ye Wanxi agreed and was about to urge the little rabbit to eat when the two remnant souls in the painting seemed to sense the danger and drifted out quietly.
Everyone gasped and took three big steps back.
Previously, there was still a gap between the two people's memories, but the sudden appearance of the person in question still brought them quite a shock.
The two guys knew that Ye Wanxi was going to deal with them, and as soon as they floated out, they started begging for mercy.
Miss Yue, with tears streaming down her face, still managed to wink at the men present. She was beautiful, but she clearly forgot her current status.
The men present were not seduced by the honey trap at all; on the contrary, they were quite frightened.
Mr. Zhang immediately hid behind Mrs. Zhang, looking exactly like a pitiful, frightened young wife.
Mrs. Zhang: "..." What a disappointment!
Feng Erlang's target was several young girls, but as soon as he cast a flirtatious glance, he met Zhang Fujia, who stood in front of her younger sister like an old hen.
At a time like this, he still dares to seduce his sister? Does he really think his brother is dead? Heh heh heh heh heh heh?
Ye Wanxi couldn't stand seeing these two remnant souls doing such an eyesore, so she patted the little rabbit in her arms, signaling that it could start eating.
The little rabbit's ears twitched, and it instantly perked up.
Under the bewildered and shocked gazes of the crowd, he leaped forward with all his might, crashing headfirst into the painting. Then, with a wide grin, he began to inhale deeply.
Dark, gloomy energy swirled out from the scroll and entered the little rabbit's mouth. The two souls gradually became transparent, and their appearances changed from fair-skinned and beautiful to green-faced and fanged.
Their piercing screams sent chills down everyone's spines, making them want to huddle together on the spot.
The little rabbit sucked it in very quickly, and in less than a minute, all the evil energy was gone.
Ye Wanxi waved her hand casually, and the human skin painting burst into flames with a hiss, turning into a pile of ashes in a moment.
The little rabbit reluctantly ate the ash, then bounced back into Ye Wanxi's arms like a giant bouncy ball, spreading its round little belly for its little owner to rub and help it digest.
Seeing the little rabbit eating even scraps, Gao Min looked at it with sympathy and said, "Won't it have any problems eating like this? Like indigestion or something?"
Ye Wanxi paused in rubbing her belly, then looked down at the little rabbit.
The little rabbit immediately put its paws out in her palm, looking weak and as if to say, "I have suffered too much."
Ye Wanxi smiled slightly and poked it twice with her finger: "I'll give you an extra piece of grass brick for lunch and dinner today as a snack."
The little rabbit's eyes lit up, and it grabbed Ye Wanxi's hand and rubbed against her.
The little master is the best; he knows that it has eaten too much meat and fish and needs some light porridge and side dishes to balance it out.
Zhang Xiaoxiao stared at the little rabbit for a while, then suddenly exclaimed, "A mythical beast! It really is a mythical beast! I knew it! Someone as amazing as Miss Ye must have a pet that's no ordinary pet. I was right!"
Compared to her excitement, Du Yihuan looked like she was questioning the meaning of life.
This rabbit was the one she picked out with her aunt back then. It looked like an ordinary little rabbit. How... how did it turn into a mythical beast?
Is it my sister-in-law's problem, or are all the pups in the same litter like this? Could hers be the same?
At that time, Fangfang, who had grown even bigger and was now almost the size of a ball, suddenly felt a terrifying danger in her sleep and shuddered.
Zhang's parents were also very curious about the little rabbit in Ye Wanxi's arms, but what they were more concerned about at the moment was...
"Miss Ye, is that... resolved?"
"Solved."
They were merely two fragments of souls sealed within the painting by a curse, already mostly devoured by the painting itself, and could no longer be considered living beings.
If it weren't for receiving Zhang Fujia's essence and vitality, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have been able to perform that illusion just now.
Ye Wanxi also failed to detect any familiar demonic aura within the painting, making the resolution of this matter much simpler than dealing with Qi Yanjiao and Li Suizhi before.
but……
"The painting problem is solved, but the method of harming people can be repeated. If Xiaoxiao hadn't asked me for help this time, these two remnant souls would have continued to absorb her brother's essence and life force, especially life force, which is a great tonic for them. It can help them condense their souls and turn into physical bodies."
"At that time, not only will Young Master Zhang die from organ failure due to excessive consumption, but you will also become nourishment for them to grow stronger."
The Zhang family members were quite frightened by Ye Wanxi's words, but when they saw Zhang Fujia's still-recovering expression, they knew that it was probably true.
Still shaken, Zhang's mother couldn't help but give Zhang's father another beating: "Look what you've done! The whole family almost lost their lives because of you! Luckily, Jiajia and Xiaoxiao are alright, otherwise I would never forgive you, never forgive you!"
