Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

After that, there would be a dish made with animal blood on the Liu family's dinner table every day.

Chicken blood, duck blood, and pig blood—chefs use them in countless ways to create delicious dishes.

Liu Di even went to the outskirts where people slaughtered pigs to buy a lot of blood sausage, which she cooked for Catherine every meal.

The Liu family didn't have many servants; it consisted of only the three members of the family.

In their minds, foreigners were all uncultured and savage, so it was normal for the First Madam to eat blood every day.

Liu Dong secretly observed and discovered that Catherine only ate blood dishes prepared in the kitchen and occasionally drank animal blood, but did not drink human blood, so he felt at ease about her.

I suppose Catherine is a vegetarian among vampires.

Liu Di didn't stay at the Liu family's house for long before moving out.

He probably felt it was inconvenient to have outsiders around and didn't want Catherine's identity to be discovered.

Fortunately, Catherine's dowry was very generous, enough for the two of them to buy a house and land.

The two bought a three-courtyard house next to the Liu family's house.

The house originally housed a family of five; the husband and wife eloped.

His wife was a lady from a prominent family, and it was said that she was a princess of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The husband is a scholar and was once his wife's tutor.

After falling in love, the two eloped from the north to the south.

His wife eloped with a lot of jewelry and money, enough for the family to live a wealthy life.

However, neither of them had any skills to make a living besides romance and leisure, and they could only live off the little money they had brought with them.

They weren't in a hurry at all, and continued to enjoy their leisurely days.

Their money dwindled until the child was born.

Only then did the couple panic and start looking for jobs.

The husband found a job teaching at a school, while the wife embroidered things to sell.

They're just used to spending money lavishly, so they spend more money than they earn.

Their lives became increasingly difficult.

The pampered wife couldn't endure hardship, her health deteriorated, and she passed away, leaving behind her husband and three children.

Overwhelmed with grief, the husband sold the house that held so many memories for his family of three.

He claimed he didn't want to be reminded of his wife's painful past, but in reality, he had spent all of his family's savings on his extravagant funeral arrangements.

The husband had no choice but to sell the house, get a large sum of money, and take his three children to live in the countryside.

Moved by their love and their pursuit of it, Catherine not only didn't haggle but also gave them extra money.

She's the sucker!
Liu Di bought a piece of land outside the city and built a factory there to produce small machinery.

He studied mechanical manufacturing abroad.

Liu Di's ideal is to revitalize the country through science and technology and reduce the gap in productivity between China and other countries.

He was considered an ambitious young man at that time.

In addition to the factory, Liu Di also opened a restaurant.

The purpose was to collect the blood from the chickens and ducks slaughtered every day and send it to his residence.

His life with Catherine settled down, and not long after, Catherine became pregnant.

Liu Dong was stunned!
Um, can vampires get pregnant?

Liu Tong secretly observed Catherine and, taking advantage of her inattention, obtained hair and blood from her body for research.

Unfortunately, nothing was discovered.

The only conclusion drawn was that vampires and rice dumplings are completely different.

A year later, the child was born.

Fearing that Catherine might exhibit strange behavior during childbirth, Liu Di personally delivered her baby.

Before this, Liu Di specifically went to learn how to deliver babies from a midwife.

He is truly a considerate and good husband.

There were no abnormalities after the child was born. Liu Tong examined the child and found that the child inherited more of Liu Di's bloodline.

……

"Master Liu, please be sure to come with us."

The speaker was a tall man, whose appearance was no less than that of Liu Di.

His name is Qin Yi, and he is a detective.

The Qin family was a large and wealthy clan in the area.

The Qin family owns a considerable amount of land and property, and also has extensive connections in official circles.

But in fact, the Qin family started out as tomb raiders and are descendants of tomb raiders.

Three generations ago, the main branch of the Qin family had already stopped going into tombs and focused on managing their legitimate businesses.

However, members of the Qin family's collateral branches still engage in tomb raiding, and most of the items they obtain are handed over to the main branch of the Qin family for processing.

The main branch of the Qin family expanded their network by getting to know many antique enthusiasts through the valuable items they acquired from their clansmen; the collateral branches, on the other hand, received money.

A win-win cooperation.

As a result, the Qin family prospered and its foundation grew stronger.

The sons of the main branch of the Qin family each have promising futures.

Qin Yi has two older brothers, one of whom joined the political arena and the other joined the military.

Qin Yi believed that he was not as successful as his two older brothers, and only became a detective with power second only to the police chief.

In reality, Qin Yi took over the management of the collateral branches and also took over the Qin family's clandestine business dealings.

Therefore, Qin Yi knew Liu Tong and had a pretty good relationship with her.

Qin Yi bought most of the talismans made by Liu Dong.

Qin Yi: "If it weren't for your talisman, Master Liu, all my brothers would probably be dead. Fortunately, half of them managed to escape alive."

Qin Yi told Liu Tong about the experiences of his "brothers".

A branch of the Qin family discovered an ancient tomb, which they believe is likely from the late Tang Dynasty.

They organized a team to go down into the tomb.

The underground activities went relatively smoothly. Although there were many traps in the tomb, the people who went down were very experienced and dealt with them well. Apart from a few people being injured, everyone survived and returned with a full load.

But on the way, they encountered strange events.

A group of people realized they were lost halfway through their journey.

Getting lost is impossible for someone who frequently walks underground.

But now, that impossibility has come to pass.

These people carried compasses for navigation.

However, the compass malfunctioned.

They immediately realized that something strange had happened.

Although the group was somewhat flustered, they were not afraid.

These people who walk underground often encounter strange things.

The most common thing you encounter is zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and occasionally you might encounter ghosts.

One of the ghosts' skills is being trapped in a maze, just like what they're experiencing now.

The leader took out a paper talisman from his pocket, lit it, and threw it out.

Then everyone heard a shrill scream, and then the scene before their eyes shattered, replaced by another.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Master Liu's talismans are really effective!"

The leader said, "Unfortunately, I don't have many talismans left."

Henchman A: "Then after we get back to the city, let's go to Master Liu's place and buy some more. We've brought back quite a few good things this time; we can make a lot of money selling them."

The others echoed his sentiments.

Although Master Liu's talismans are expensive, they are worth the price; they really can save your life!
Putting aside other things, just consider the last time they encountered a zombie underground. It was extremely ferocious, and neither black donkey hooves nor black dog blood were effective. In the end, it was Master Liu's talisman that burned the zombie to ashes, saving everyone. (End of Chapter)
