Chapter 49: Do You Have Any Other Way Besides Trusting Me?

At the moment when everyone’s hearts were hanging tight, nerves stretched to the limit, a bright yellow figure suddenly dashed up from the stairwell and, with lightning speed, rushed out the window.

Immediately after, a shadowy figure flashed past just as fast, also heading toward the window.

That shadow kicked off the wall, leapt up swiftly, and with one foot kicked the windowsill before jumping down.

“Sister-in-law!”

Watching Shen Chujin leap down, Shi Xiaofei was both admiring and very worried.

Everyone present hurried to the window and looked down.

They saw Lu Xiaobei, who they had thought would definitely fall to the ground, was now floating in midair, slowly drifting toward the window.

Everyone immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Looking further away, they saw a slender figure engaged in a fierce battle with a completely white cat whose eyes glowed blue.

The cat was extremely ferocious, its body arched, and its fur standing on end.

It bared its teeth and stared viciously at Shen Chujin. “Human, mind your own business, or I’ll kill you too!”

“Oh~ you think you have that ability?” Shen Chujin said lightly.

Her tone was soft but full of authority.

The white cat instantly bent its front paw, preparing to attack.

“Even if you kill me, even if you kill everyone here, your child won’t come back,” Shen Chujin said calmly, “Want to hear my suggestion?”

The white cat hesitated, “What suggestion? Don’t tell me you can bring my child back to life?”

“No.”

The white cat: !!!

“Then what are you talking about!”

It arched its body again, ready to attack.

Shen Chujin said, “Although I can’t bring it back to life, I can put it back into your womb, and you can give birth to it again.”

The white cat: !!!

It suddenly widened its beautiful cat eyes.

“Are you serious?!”

“Does lying to you benefit me?”

“Why should I trust you?” The white cat narrowed its eyes, looking very cautious.

“Do you have any other way besides trusting me?”

The white cat: …

It gritted its teeth. “Fine, if you really can bring my child back, I won’t kill that child.”

It had been cultivating sincerely and wasn’t someone who killed innocents recklessly.

Its principle was: if people don’t offend me, I don’t offend them.

That’s why it had been hiding deep in the mountains, barely contacting anyone.

But its child was just born and was very mischievous.

That day, it had gone out to find food and left the child alone in the cave.

When it returned, the child was gone.

It followed the scent and footprints searching all the way.

Unexpectedly, what it found was a corpse!

At that moment, it was almost driven mad with rage.

Its child had died so tragically!

After painfully digging a hole to bury the body, it carried a burning fury and followed the bloody trail to find the killer.

In the end, it found them!

It swore to make the killer pay the proper price.

Killing the other party wasn’t enough, it had to make her taste the pain of losing a child as well!

So, it began its revenge.

It deliberately chose midnight because it knew people are most prone to drowsiness and mental collapse at this hour.

It wanted to torment the killer harshly.

Originally, the revenge was supposed to continue for a while longer.

But today it was unexpectedly forced to act earlier because someone skilled in magic had broken the demonic aura it had placed on the child.

It didn’t expect that person to arrive so quickly to stop it.

However, as long as the other party can bring its child back to its side, it was willing to let this matter go.

In the Lu family’s first-floor living room.

Except for Shen Chujin, everyone else, whether sitting or standing, was nervously watching the little white cat in the center, which held its head high with an arrogant expression.

This was their first time seeing the legendary cat demon.

Before this, even if you killed them, they wouldn’t have believed that monsters really existed in this world.

But now…

If anyone still didn’t believe in monsters, they would be slapped in the face immediately.

You don’t know anything!

The world is full of wonders, got it?

Shen Chujin glanced at the trembling Lu family members, then fixed her gaze on Lu Wanying.

“There is now a way to make up for the mistake you made before. Are you willing?”

Lu Wanying held her daughter tightly, her head pounding like a mortar.

“Yes, I am willing!”

As long as her daughter was safe, she would accept anything.

After all, this was ultimately caused by her.

Although it was just a cat and might seem insignificant to some people, ever since she collided with it, she felt guilty and fearful every time she thought about it.

Now that there was a chance to make things right, how could she refuse?

“Good. You need to make a small golden cat statue to place at home. For forty-nine days, at the specific times of ^[1]“Chen, Shen, and Chou hours” refer to specific traditional Chinese time periods: 7–9 AM, 3–5 PM, and 1–3 AM. “Chen (辰), Shen (申), and Chou (丑)” are time periods … Continue readingChen, Shen, and Chou hours each day, you must offer incense on time and recite a spell. When reciting the spell, you must not only purify yourself but also be sincere in your heart. Can you do that?”

After Shen Chujin finished speaking, Lu Wanying nodded earnestly.

“I definitely can!”

“Alright, I will write down the spell for you shortly and explain some details about how to do it. Just follow the instructions.”

“Okay, got it.”

Seeing Lu Wanying’s cooperation and desire to make amends, the little white cat’s hostile gaze softened a bit.

Later, while Shen Chujin was instructing Lu Wanying, Lu Wanying’s husband began contacting people to make the small golden cat statue.

The statue was to look just like the little white cat.

With everything settled, the Lu family was very grateful to Shen Chujin and kept thanking her repeatedly.

“Alright, alright, stop thanking me so much. I still need to go rest. Just pay me directly.”

Jiang Baiyuan, standing nearby, rubbed his ear and raised his eyebrows as a reminder.

There’s no need to be so polite—just say it directly.

Old Madam Lu shot him a glare.

That brat!

Of course, the money had to be given.

But there was no need to say it so bluntly.

After all, the Shi family’s granddaughter-in-law wasn’t that greedy.

However, when it came to the payment, they really didn’t know how much was appropriate.

As someone experienced, Jiang Baiyuan had the most say.

“I think ten million is neither too much nor too little—just right.”

Shen Chujin: …

She silently thought to herself: Taking from the rich to help the poor is also a kind of good deed.

In the end, all three parties were very happy.

The white cat stayed at the Lu household to “supervise” Lu Wanying.

The Lu family was very nervous but didn’t dare say anything.

“Sister-in-law, you really aren’t coming home with us?”

At the Lu family’s doorstep, Shi Xiaofei reluctantly held Shen Chujin’s hand.

Shen Chujin patted her hand, “No, I won’t.”

“Then… alright.”

Shi Xiaofei felt disappointed but understood why Shen Chujin didn’t want to go back with them.

Hmph!

It’s all Big Brother’s fault!

If Big Brother had been more capable, Sister-in-law could live with them!

“Achoo~”

Shi Yi’s body trembled as he suddenly sneezed.

He furrowed his brows, puzzled—It’s not even cold now…
