Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

fantastic.

She patted Gu Yuncheng on the back to comfort him: "Alright, have you made enough of a scene? Miss Pei, I'm giving you one last chance. Do you want me to save you or not?"

Pei Xiana bit her lip.

Finally, under the pressure of her agent's gaze, she reluctantly said, "Yes."

"The service fee is thirty million, will it be by check or bank transfer?"

"...Thirty million?!"

Pei Xiana's eyes widened in astonishment: "Why didn't you just rob it?!"

Even if Pei Xiana is the most popular female star in the entertainment industry, 30 million is not a small number for her.

"Are you crazy?"

Shen Nian scoffed, "I saved your life. What, Miss Pei, do you think your life isn't worth thirty million?"

The agent was already annoyed: "You've taken on so many high-end luxury endorsements lately, and you don't even have 30 million in your account? Hurry up, don't waste time."

Pei Xiana paused for a moment: "I've given all my money to the Thai shaman."

broker:……

He's speechless about Pei Xiana now.

"Then borrow it, or sell one of the houses under your name."

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Pei Xiana managed to borrow over ten million yuan after a few phone calls.

With her own money, she had enough to cover Shen Nian's expenses.

When the 30 million was transferred to Shen Nian's card, Pei Xiana felt as if her heart was bleeding.

"Okay, can you save me now?"

"Of course, let's go to your house—oh, the house where you used to worship Kumanthong."

Shen Nian put down her teacup and stood up.

"Gu Yuncheng, you're coming with me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiwen looked up at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian inexplicably understood what he meant: "You should... just forget about it."

"It wouldn't sound good if word got out."

For example, the president of Gu's Group having a secret rendezvous with a popular female star.

Gu Qiwen understood what she meant and smiled at her: "Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back."

Gu Qiwen rarely smiled.

He was always aloof, like a statue carved from jade.

That smile reminded Shen Nian of two words—

The ice and snow melt, revealing colors like spring flowers.

Shen Nian was momentarily stunned, then replied with "Okay".

Pei Xiana, standing to the side, watched their interaction and pinched her palm hard.

On what grounds?

Why is it that President Gu, who is always cold and aloof, is so gentle with Shen Nian?

If she had someone like Gu Qiwen to rely on, why would she need to seek out evil Kumanthong and end up looking like this, neither human nor ghost?

That's so unfair!

She was thinking like this until she got into the nanny van and the agent took them to the house where Pei Xiana usually lived, and she still hadn't come to her senses.

Pei Xiana's house is also a villa.

However, unlike Tiannan Mountain which occupies an entire mountaintop, Pei Xiana's villa is located in an upscale residential area, offering a high degree of privacy.

After getting out of the car, Shen Nian led Gu Yuncheng into the villa first.

broker:……

Master Shen didn't have any fingerprints on the house, so how did he open the door?

As soon as she entered the hall, Shen Nian frowned in disgust.

The entire villa is decorated in a minimalist style, with almost all colors consisting of black, white, and gray, which can easily make people feel depressed.

Gu Yuncheng also frowned.

After several days of drawing talismans and practicing swordsmanship, his perception of spiritual energy has become more acute.

This house...something's not right.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but it just makes me uncomfortable.

Shen Nian handed him a bottle of cow tears: "Apply it to your eyelids, and you can temporarily have the ability to see ghosts."

Gu Yuncheng did as instructed.

As soon as the cold liquid touched his eyes, he saw that the house was filled with ominous black mist.

The densest black aura came from a room on the second floor.

The two went straight to the second floor.

The source of the black aura was a bedroom.

Judging from the decoration and furnishings, this is indeed Pei Xiana's bedroom.

A pure white bed was placed in the very center, but Gu Yuncheng's expression froze.

Without him.

On the pristine white sheets, there were a few small...

Black footprints.

His gaze followed the footprints forward, and then, unexpectedly, met a pair of eyes without any whites.

!!!

The baby stared straight at him. He didn't speak, but a delicate voice still rang in Gu Yuncheng's ears: "Come play."

"Come play with me."

"Giggle~"

"Giggle giggle giggle~"

Gu Yuncheng felt a chill run down his spine and dashed behind Shen Nian, crying out, "Master, save me!"

Shen Nian: ...

What a disgrace.

Why did she accept such an unlucky thing?

At the same time, the agent and Pei Xiana arrived at the bedroom door.

The eerie and terrifying soft cry of a baby also rang in their ears.

Pei Xiana's face turned pale instantly. She staggered two steps and knelt down before Shen Nian: "Master, save me, save me!!!"

Shen Nian ignored her and looked at the baby, asking, "Why are you the only one here? Where is everyone else?"

The agent broke out in a cold sweat, looking at Shen Nian with suspicion and uncertainty.

This Master Shen... is actually talking to that ghostly thing?!

Isn't she scared at all?!

The ghost baby chuckled twice and actually answered Shen Nian's question: "They don't have the power to come out yet."

It stared intently at Pei Xiana's stomach, its face displaying a desire incongruous with its age.

Shen Nian raised her hand, picked up the ghost baby, and sealed it into the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

Then she went to the head of the bed and tapped on the wooden board above it.

It is hollow.

She fumbled around for a while, found a hidden snap, pressed it, and the entire headboard opened, revealing what was inside.

The agent mustered up his courage and took a look, nearly fainting from the shock.

He roared, "Pei Xiana! I think you've really gone mad!"

"How dare you put something like this under the bed?!"

Inside, there were four identical black urns.

Shen Nian reached out and took one out, then randomly opened it.

Inside was the skeleton of an infant, so pale that its face was no longer recognizable.

This is the physical body of a Kuman Thong.

One of their ghosts is in Shen Nian's hands, while the other three are inside Pei Xiana's stomach.

"Where did these infant corpses come from?"

Shen Nian looked at Pei Xiana.

In a place like China with such strict law enforcement, it's not easy to obtain a few babies without anyone noticing.

Pei Xiana hesitated for a moment, then remained silent.

"Speak up! I'm asking you a question!"

"The agent said impatiently."

"I have two...my own children."

"There are two more, which were bought through connections... well-formed fetuses from other people's miscarriages."

"You...when did you get pregnant? How come I didn't know?"

The agent exclaimed in shock.

There are still two.

"Of course, this was before I was famous."

Pei Xiana sneered, "You know, in this industry, it's very common to exchange your body for resources. It's just a coincidence that I'm pregnant."

"I thought since I had the child, I might as well make use of it and turn it into a Kumanthong, which would also bring me fame and fortune."

"You are simply... insane."

"Okay, stop arguing."

Wen Luo said calmly, "Contact the crematorium to burn the bodies of these children, and then find a place with good feng shui to bury them."

"As for the thing in your stomach, I can only remove it for you at midnight tonight."

Pei Xiana's identity and current situation make it inconvenient for her to go out, so her agent contacted the crematorium to have the remains cremated and quickly ordered a tombstone in the suburbs.

While doing these things, the agent was still on the verge of collapse: "Aren't they really going to suddenly come back to life and kill me?"

Shen Nian: "...Don't worry, they're inside Pei Xiana's stomach right now, those bones are just bones."
