Chapter 46: That Kid Shi Yi Is Really Lucky

Lu Wanying glanced around at everyone present and nodded with difficulty.

At that moment, she was almost scared out of her mind.

Since getting her driver’s license, she had never had any accidents while driving.

That was the first time she ever hit a living thing.

The cat’s miserable screams and the bright red blood immediately panicked her.

In her panic, she hurriedly turned the steering wheel and drove away.

Could it be…

“So, the cat demon possessing my daughter is that kitten that died?” She widened her eyes.

Shen Chujin shook her head, her expression serious.

“It’s even more serious than that. It should be the mother of that kitten seeking revenge.”

A newborn kitten wouldn’t have that much demon power.

She looked at Lu Wanying, “It’s probably trying to slowly torture you, to make you feel the same pain of losing a child that it did.”

Demons of this level are quite intelligent.

Its own child was crushed to death by a car, and the culprit didn’t even properly bury the body but just left.

One can imagine how furious the mother cat must have been when she saw her child’s body exposed in the wilderness.

That’s why it possessed Lu Xiaobei, and it specifically chose midnight—the time when people are most easily tired—to torment Lu Wanying.

The goal was to make her see her own child losing her mind and be powerless to help during the time her mind was most vulnerable.

Hearing this, Lu Wanying immediately collapsed like a deflated balloon.

Fortunately, her husband caught her in time.

She cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

“It’s all my fault, all my fault. I caused this to Xiaobei.”

She could understand the mother cat’s actions.

Which mother doesn’t love her child?

If her own Xiaobei were harmed, she would definitely go crazy seeking revenge on whoever hurt her.

But…

Who would have thought that monsters actually exist in this world?

And the cat she accidentally ran over was actually the offspring of a spiritual cat demon?

She looked at Shen Chujin pleadingly, “Master Shen, please save Xiaobei. All the mistakes were mine. If the mother cat wants revenge, let it take revenge on me directly. Even if it costs me my life, I can pay that price. But Xiaobei is innocent—she doesn’t know anything, and she’s still so young. She can’t die.”

Tears kept streaming down her cheeks, and her face was full of regret.

If only she had driven more carefully back then.

If only she had controlled her fear and gotten out of the car to properly bury the kitten.

If only…

“Sigh, what’s done is done. Thinking about it won’t help now. We need to focus on how to fix this.” Grandma Lu sighed.

Then she looked at Shen Chujin, “Master Shen, please think of a way and help us. We’re willing to pay any price.”

Shen Chujin said, “Let’s wait for now. When the mother cat comes tonight, then we’ll act.”

Since she had spoken, no one else dared to say anything.

She told Lu Wanying and the others to fetch a bowl of clean water.

“Not too much water, just enough to cover the bottom of the bowl.”

Soon, the water was brought over.

Shen Chujin took out a talisman.

She held the talisman paper between her index and middle fingers, and without even using a lighter, the talisman suddenly burst into flames.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene.

Especially the Lu family members who had never seen Shen Chujin’s abilities before, each of them nearly had their eyes pop out.

Shi Xiaofei proudly lifted her chin and glanced at the Lu family, feeling pleased inside.

See? My sister-in-law is awesome, right?

Grandma Mo also looked very proud.

Our Xiaojin really is amazing.

Our very own!

If they had tails, those tails would probably be wagging all the way up to the sky.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baiyuan pursed his lips and muttered silently,

That kid Shi Yi really is lucky!

She actually married Master Shen!

That sounded so bitter…

As the talisman paper was about to burn out completely, Shen Chujin threw it into the bowl and casually stirred it with her finger.

Then she walked to the bedside and flicked some of the talisman water from her hand onto Lu Xiaobei’s face.

The water droplets fell from her fingertips onto Lu Xiaobei’s face.

Finally, she gently pressed her right index finger on Lu Xiaobei’s forehead, applying some hidden pressure.

Two seconds later, Lu Xiaobei slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were round and very beautiful.

Only now, her eyes still looked a bit confused.

Seeing Lu Xiaobei wake up, everyone in the Lu family was filled with joy.

At the same time, they truly recognized Shen Chujin’s power from the bottom of their hearts.

To be honest, when Grandma Lu said she wanted to invite the Shi family’s granddaughter-in-law over, they had some doubts.

They thought such a young girl couldn’t possibly have that kind of strength.

In their impression, enlightened masters were always old men with white beards.

Even if they weren’t old, they shouldn’t be so young.

But out of respect for Grandma Lu, no one openly objected.

Of course, Grandma Lu also invited Shen Chujin with a “let’s just try” mindset.

After all, Grandma Mo — who usually never bragged — surprisingly kept showing off about her granddaughter-in-law.

Now seeing Shen Chujin not only immediately identify that Lu Xiaobei was harmed by a cat demon but also wake her up from unconsciousness in an instant, the whole family was completely convinced.

Since it was still early before midnight, Shen Chujin said she would leave first and come back at night.

The Lu family thought she might feel uncomfortable, so after she politely declined to stay, they didn’t insist.

But Grandma Mo wasn’t going to let her leave on her own. She immediately said that since the Lu and Shi families lived close by, Shen Chujin could go with her to the Shi family’s home to rest, then come back together later.

“Yes, sister-in-law, you should come back with us.”

Shi Xiaofei looked at Shen Chujin eagerly, holding her hand and not letting go.

Shen Chujin originally wanted to refuse, but Grandma Mo suddenly said wistfully, “Sigh, when people get old, it’s hard to find someone to talk to and eat with…”

Shen Chujin: …

Watching Grandma Mo’s deliberately sorrowful pose, Shen Chujin’s mouth twitched slightly.

In the end, she still agreed.

Grandma Mo immediately happily called Aunt Zhang to prepare lunch.

At the same time, she sent a text message to Shi Yi.

“Brat, come back to the old house for dinner tonight.”

When Shi Yi received the message, he slightly raised his eyebrow.

Since the last time he didn’t have dinner at the old house because of company matters, Grandma had been glaring at him with no good expression.

And then there was that girl, Xiaofei — he didn’t know what medicine she had taken, but she used to be all brotherly and sweet, ever since they came back from the trip, she always spoke to him with a strange, sarcastic tone. He had no idea what he did to offend her.

Lately, he had been busy with an international merger and acquisition deal, working like a spinning top.

So basically, he hadn’t been back to the old house and had been sleeping in an apartment near the company.

His grandma, who used to contact him at least every other day, had been unusually quiet lately and hadn’t called him even once.

So why did she suddenly remember her grandson and ask him to come home for dinner now?

“Do you have anything after 6 o’clock today?”

He looked at his assistant, Wei Lin, who had just come in to deliver some documents.

Wei Lin: “There’s a department meeting.”

“Push it to tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, sir!”
