Lu Yuxuan smiled with satisfaction, gently pulled the ethereal vengeful spirit in front of her into her arms, and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, my darling, all of this is thanks to you."

After saying that, Lu Yuxuan fed it breakfast. The little baby floated above the food, and wisps of white vapor rose from the food. The little baby opened its mouth and inhaled the vapor, clapping its hands and laughing happily.

"Delicious! The food Mom asked her to prepare is my favorite."

At that moment, a small ghost, completely black and appearing larger than the vengeful spirit, suddenly appeared from outside the door.

Looking at the exquisite pastries on the table, it said resentfully, "My dear mother, are you going to abandon me? You haven't offered me incense or sacrifices lately. So it's because you have another child."

This little ghost was the same guardian spirit that Lu Yuxuan had once worshipped. However, it gradually went out of control, and Lu Yuxuan's communication with it became less and less frequent.

Lu Yuxuan remained calm and said slowly, "I only have one favorite child in my heart, but... I like both of you, so I really can't choose. How about this, you two have a fight, and whoever wins will be my favorite."

The vengeful spirit, having just finished eating, saw the familiar little ghost brother and immediately laughed: "Little ghost brother, Mom's favorite child is definitely me. I'm Mom's biological son. You're just a little ghost who was invited back. How could you possibly compare to my position in Mom's heart?"

The little devil pouted, his face full of displeasure. His dark, wax-covered face was filled with anger: "I've helped your mother so much, she must like me the most."

“Little devil brother, you used to disobey your mother and deliberately go against her. Your mother said she really hates you.”

"That's not true," Lu Yuxuan said with a smile. "You two are both children I like..."

Before Lu Yuxuan could finish speaking, the little devil interrupted her impatiently: "My dear mother, don't forget that you said before that as long as I help you do certain things, you will offer me your heart so that I can have a good meal and I can get the reward I deserve."

"Mom, didn't you say that in order for me to stay by your side, you planned to let me eat your heart, and then I would become your heart, so that we, mother and son, would become one and never be separated? Mom, you lied to me again?"

The vengeful spirit questioned its beloved mother with an incredulous look, as if convinced that she was about to lie to it again, and was so angry that it almost cried.

"No, no, my dear baby, it's just that I forgot about it before. After it had a falling out with me, it kept going against me, and I was so angry that I forgot about it... Now that it mentioned it, I remember..."

Lu Yuxuan frowned anxiously, and finally seemed to give up on arguing.

"Fine, fine, I only have one heart. You guys fight it out, and whoever wins gets to eat my heart."

The little ghost didn't want to fight, but the vengeful spirit reacted extremely quickly, giving it no chance to refuse, and directly raised its hand and rushed over.

A series of gusts of wind howled past, and the whole room was filled with a chilling wind. Lu Yuxuan, who was being blown by the chilling wind, turned pale and shivered all over.

Despite the dry weather, a thin layer of black water droplets suddenly condensed on the walls of the room, and the entire room was filled with a pungent smell of blood and the stench of rotting corpses.

The kid looked annoyed: "I already told you I don't want to fight with you, can't we split it in half?"

"No, no, Mom can only be mine."

Seeing that the other party was really going to kill him, and that he would be blown to pieces if he wasn't careful, the little ghost gradually got angry. It rushed over in a fit of rage, and the two black souls instantly started to wrestle together.

The attacks they unleashed were increasingly terrifying. However, Lu Yuxuan, watching from the sidelines, though frightened, made no attempt to dodge.
It was as if they had anticipated this scene would unfold.

In the end, the vengeful spirit was no match for the little devil and was choked by the neck and swallowed whole.

The little devil let out a desperate scream, but it didn't stop, swallowing the vengeful spirit piece by piece.

The little devil patted its bulging belly and smiled contentedly. It turned its head and gave Lu Yuxuan a malicious grin: "Thank you, Mom. Your son tastes delicious."

Lu Yuxuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, forcing out a very forced smile.

"I'm glad you're happy. I already guessed you would win, but I was just too embarrassed to say it directly."

Lu Yuxuan was a little scared, but she still braced herself and said, "If you want my heart, do it now. But you can't let me die. If I die, no one will take care of you, and you will slowly perish."

"Of course I know, but I'm very curious..." the kid said, reaching out to reach into Lu Yuxuan's chest.

That warm, still-beating heart was forcibly ripped out!
Lu Yuxuan bit her lip until it bled from the pain, but even though her heart was ripped out, she didn't die.

Lu Yuxuan clutched her chest, which was completely uninjured. If her heart hadn't been removed, no one would have believed that it was no longer there.

"Thank you for letting me live. You still care about your mother after all. Go ahead and say what you want to say."

Lu Yuxuan clutched her chest and slowly sat down, panting heavily. Her bangs were soaked with cold sweat.

"I'm just so curious, how could you be so heartless? That child was your own, and he helped you so much. How could you be so cruel as to plot against him and let him die here with me?"

“A child? How could a wandering ghost of unknown origin be my child? I was just using him to do things for me. Now that he has no more use, he is naturally not worthy to stay by my side.”

"Are you worried that if that brat gets caught by Zhang Hao, he'll spill all your secrets, right?"

The little devil, like a little adult, sat on the white table, fiddling with his toes and talking carelessly as he played.

This little devil on the white table... is really troublesome, but it doesn't matter, she'll find a way to get rid of it sooner or later.

Lu Yuxuan smiled and said, "I don't want too many people to know about my affairs. You should know that."

"Of course I know, how could I not know? I guessed you were going to use me and then discard me, so I deliberately went against you. You used me to deal with those vengeful spirits who helped you, and then you wanted to use Mr. Han to kill me?"

"That's not true. Didn't you already eat the heart I gave you? Now we're one, and no one can separate us. If you die, I can't live either, so naturally I'll protect you."

Lu Yuxuan spoke slowly and deliberately, her gaze fixed intently on the little devil, as if confirming something. In the end, the little devil remained silent, simply lowering his head to continue fiddling with his toes.

"Looks like you've become obedient again. That's good, saves me from lecturing you with all those long-winded principles. Be good, and I'll get Mr. Han to leave later, and that'll be the end of it."

"Can this really be the end of it? Or do you want to continue hurting me?"

"You have to believe me, we're accomplices now."

Before leaving, the boy couldn't help but ask, "Can you really not treat him like your child at all? Don't you feel any guilt at all?" "What is there to feel guilty about? My son will always be Chen Anshi."

The little devil didn't return to the place where he was enshrined, but instead went to the storeroom.

The enclosed space was dark and oppressive.

The little devil opened his mouth and spat out what seemed to be something.

The vengeful spirit that was spat out hugged the little ghost and started wailing.

"No, no... How could this be? Has Mom been lying to me all along?"

The little devil looked at him coldly, and finally helplessly wiped away his tears: "Don't cry, your crying is making me want to cry too."

"I don't want to cry, but Mom lied to me, she really lied to me, waaaaah..."

After crying for a while, the vengeful spirit hiccuped, then angrily said, "No! This absolutely won't do! I must get revenge! My mother lied to me!"

The little devil, like a woman who had been betrayed countless times by a scumbag, sighed skillfully and then skillfully comforted his "little brother."

“I told you long ago that most humans who worship demons do so for ulterior motives. They don’t see us as true friends or fellow human beings; they only see us as tools to be used.”

The vengeful spirit wiped away its tears, pouted, and looked bewildered: "Little ghost brother, what you're saying is so profound, I don't understand it at all."

The little devil suddenly seemed to have aged several years. Despite his ghostly appearance, he looked exactly like a world-weary adult.

"Oh well, it's a good thing I don't understand, at least it won't be so sad."

"Little devil brother, let's go find Mr. Han! I want to tell him everything about my mother! Bah! She's not my mother anymore! I want to get revenge on her, and after I'm done, I'll reincarnate and find a mother who truly loves me. Little devil brother, come reincarnate with me too, so we can still be brothers."

The little devil pouted, his eyes darting around, and in the end, he didn't say anything, but he didn't object either. He just waved his hand, telling him to hurry up and leave.

"I'll go first then. Little devil brother, you must be careful and don't let her fool you again."

Just then, Zhang Hao, who had just arrived at the police station and finished understanding what had happened, was pondering how to investigate when he ordered his men to transport the body to the funeral home. At that moment, a familiar vengeful spirit climbed in through the window.

"I'm here. Aren't you surprised to see me?"

"Yes, somewhat. I thought you had already been reincarnated, but I didn't expect you to still be in the mortal world. It's only been a few days, but you seem to have been tainted by the sins of killing. Did you kill someone?"

Zhang Hao sighed thoughtfully, "The crime of murder is no small matter. If you want to be reincarnated, you'll probably face severe punishment. I praised you before for being a smart kid who wouldn't do anything reckless, but I never expected..."

The vengeful spirit clung to the window, its eyes wide open, and tears welled up in its eyes as it burst into loud sobs.

"I know I was wrong, I confess, I confess! Please don't kill me!"

"Alright, then confess."

Zhang Hao tore a piece of paper from his sticky notepad and quickly folded it into a square shape, which looked like a retro-style mini tape recorder.

"Actually, it's like this..."

The vengeful spirit recounted the events while sobbing and wiping away tears.

After listening to the vengeful spirit's story, Zhang Hao suddenly understood and couldn't help but look up and sigh, "There are so many twists and turns in this city!"

After the vengeful spirit finished her sobbing, she clapped her hands in anger and said with a face full of resentment, "That's right, there was scheming hidden everywhere. I never thought things would develop to this point! She actually lied to me!"

Zhang Hao looked down at the vengeful spirit, reached out and gently touched its little head. The vengeful spirit shrank its neck and looked at him expectantly.

"I've already confessed, can my punishment be lighter?" The vengeful spirit hoped that his punishment would be reduced. In his view, he was just an accomplice, and the main culprit should be that woman.

"That won't do. You've developed your own judgment and are a mature vengeful spirit now. You have to take responsibility for your actions. However, your willingness to confess is indeed a great achievement. I'll talk to the higher-ups about it for you later."

As for whether your punishment can be reduced, that's not up to me to decide; it depends on how the underworld decides.

However, the vengeful spirit was already satisfied upon hearing this. He said to Zhang Hao with gratitude, "Thank you so much. I really don't know what I would have done without you."

At this point, the little vengeful spirit suddenly slapped its head, as if it had suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way, I want to ask you something." The vengeful spirit stared intently at Zhang Hao with its misty eyes.

Looking into those eyes for too long could give you a creepy feeling, but Zhang Hao wasn't afraid at all and stared straight into them.

"what is the problem?"

"I have a friend who was a ghost. He was turned into a guardian ghost and has been unable to reincarnate. To survive, he's forced to do things he doesn't want to do, but he's truly a good person, I guarantee it!"

As it spoke, the vengeful spirit raised its hand, making a vow, its earnest expression quite endearing.

"Is the kid you're talking about the one who's always with Lu Yuxuan?" Zhang Hao asked with great interest.

The vengeful spirit nodded vigorously, quickly admitting, "Yes, yes, it's him. Actually, there are many things he didn't want to do, but he had no choice. Could you also help him pass on to the afterlife? He also wants to be reincarnated with me and start anew."

Zhang Hao did some quick calculations with his fingers, and under the expectant gaze of the vengeful spirit, he slowly shook his head.

“That won’t do. Judging from my calculations, that brat has committed quite a few evil deeds. Even if he wants to be freed, he must first go to hell to be punished. Only after he has paid off his sins can he be reborn as a human again.”

Upon hearing this, the vengeful spirit instantly lost his spirit. He said pitifully, "Can't you be a little more lenient? He's innocent! The real culprit is Lu Yuxuan!"

"Anything done is a crime. Moreover, many of Lu Yuxuan's misdeeds succeeded largely thanks to that brat's 'blessing.' So, his sins are quite grave." (End of Chapter)
