Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Qin Ruan is a Carnivorous Plant, More Dangerous than Evil Spirits

"Yes." Qin Ruan leaned back on the couch in the Liu family’s living room, her hand gently caressed her slightly bulging belly. "I still have a child in my womb."

"..." Song Banxian abruptly turned his head, staring at Qin Ruan’s belly.

"..." Liu Boyang’s mouth half-open, his expression was particularly eerie.

"!!!" Mrs. Liu and Liu Ze were struck with intense astonishment, reduced to a state of utter disarray.

While everyone was stunned, Qin Ruan turned to Liu Ze and asked, "Liu Ze, I heard from your father that you went to the amusement park with your friends last week, did you have fun?"

"Huh?" Liu Ze didn’t respond at first.

He pondered over Qin Ruan’s question, his voice faltered in confusion, "Yes, I did go with my classmates. It was okay, we played most of the games."

Qin Ruan drooped her eyes, her tone casual, "Which games did you play?"

"Roller coaster, Rapids ride, Frisbee, Tower of Terror, and bumper cars."

Drowning in the shock of Qin Ruan’s marital and pregnant status, Liu Ze, still recovering from the aftershocks, was answering all her questions.

Qin Ruan’s dark eyes sparkled with sharpness as she stared at Liu Ze, an inexplicable pressure emanating from her, "Anything else?"

Liu Ze looked blank, "No, that’s everything."

That day he went with his classmates and apart from these games, there was nothing else fun to do. The rest of the time they filled with eating and drinking.

"Think again."

Qin Ruan’s increasingly dim eyes, coldly focused on the Puppet Soul on Liu Ze’s neck.

The Puppet, feeling the impending danger, was baring its fangs and grinning at her. The thick black mist emanating from it was almost overwhelming Liu Ze.

Qin Ruan’s face softened with the cold, her eyes ominously chilling to the bone.

"Qin Dao?"

Song Banxian called out to Qin Ruan in a low voice.

Qin Ruan didn’t turn her head, her gaze shifted to Liu Ze, she asked sternly, "Liu Ze, what else did you play after all?"

"Nothing ... really."

Liu Ze stuttered, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

He had no idea why, but his neck felt tight. He reached up to rub his neck, easing the inexplicable suffocating sensation.

The Puppet Soul lying on his shoulder, its arms wrapped around Liu Ze’s neck, was slowly tightening its grip.

Suddenly, Liu Ze’s face went pale with terror, "I... I remembered! We also went to the haunted house!"

As soon as his words fell, the entangled Puppet Soul was flung away in an instant.

Qin Ruan also made a move.

She got up and stepped onto the marble table. With an unfathomably dark expression, her cold eyes fixed on the Puppet Soul on the wall. The Power of the Nether Soul was released from her fingers, aiming directly at the soul of the Puppet.

The Puppet Soul’s ugly face showed panic, its soul disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Qin Ruan put her other foot on the marble table, stepping across the table, her eyes contemptuously gazed at the fleeing Puppet Soul in the living room.

Her red lips hooked up in a cold smile, her voice carried a hint of oppression and danger, "How dare a lonely Puppet Soul invade and harm people in a private residence, are you tired of living!"

The Puppet Soul’s expression was ghastly and terrifying. Its gloomy eyes locked onto Qin Ruan as it sneered, "None of your business! I suggest you get the hell out, or I’ll suck the essence from you!"

"Overestimating your abilities!" Qin Ruan’s cold eyes narrowed, her face turning frosty, a powerful and terrifying pressure emanating around her.

The Puppet Soul twitched, suddenly lunging toward Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan raised both hands, thousands of golden threads spread out from her fingertips, rushing toward the Puppet Soul.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Ahhhhhh!!!!"

The Puppet Soul touched by the Nether Divine Power let out a painful scream.

More and more dense threads wrapped around him, his heart-rending cries growing increasingly loud.

After trapping the Puppet Soul, Qin Ruan slowly retreated and sat on the marble table behind her, her arms crossed, her cold eyes looking down on the fallen Puppet Soul.

As soon as Qin Ruan moved, Huo Chuan and Lin Hao immediately stepped forward.

At this moment, the two of them stood beside Qin Ruan.

Lin Hao elbowed Huo Chuan, whispering, "Did you see that thing?"

"What?" Huo Chuan looked confused.

Every time he sees his wife dealing with these invisible things, he’s puzzled and scared but also extremely curious.

Lin Hao pointed to the Puppet Soul that was wrapped in dense golden threads, writhing in pain, and asked Huo Chuan, "That Puppet, can you see it?"

Huo Chuan looked in the direction he was pointing. There was nothing there.

His face changed slightly, he muttered a curse under his breath and turned to look incredulously at Lin Hao.

"Don’t tell me, boy, that you can see that thing?"

Lin Hao nodded quite calmly, "About 1.6 meters tall, a fat man, his weight should have been around 170 pounds during his lifetime, with an ugly face that is unbearable to look at, he looks like a disgusting man."

Listening to his detailed description, Huo Chuan immediately distanced himself from Lin Hao.

Hearing Lin Hao’s detailed introduction, Qin Ruan glanced at him with a smirk, "You haven’t put your Heavenly Eye away?"

Lin Hao put his hand on his forehead with a helpless and somewhat painful tone, "I don’t want to see those things, can you take it back for me?"

"I can’t," Qin Ruan shook her head, smiling teasingly at Lin Hao, "Whether your Heavenly Eye disappears or not is still uncertain."

Lin Hao’s mouth twitched, "So I will see those Puppets every day?"

Qin Ruan put her finger on her chin, her eyes on Lin Hao, deep in thought, "On the way here, did you see any of those lonely Puppets?"

"No." Lin Hao shook his head.

Qin Ruan wasn’t sure either, "It could be due to other factors, such as when I was catching the puppet soul, or when the ghostly energy was particularly strong that you were able to see them."

Huo Chuan interrupted to ask, "Did we encounter those puppet souls on our way here?"

Lin Hao’s eyes also showed a desire for knowledge.

Qin Ruan looked at the two men, smiled mysteriously, and answered in a deliberately eerie voice, "Everywhere."

The two tall men shivered uncontrollably at her words, goosebumps sprouting all over their bodies.

Qin Ruan laughed with delight and turned to look at Liu Boyang, his wife, and son. The whole family was shivering. Even Song Banxian, who was sitting to one side, looked anxious.

Liu Boyang had explained to his wife and son why he had invited Song Banxian and Qin Ruan over.

Upon hearing that there was a puppet soul in their house, Madam Liu didn’t believe it at first.

But after Qin Ruan had subdued the puppet soul, the inexplicable feeling of suffocation that Liu Ze had around his neck disappeared as well.

During Qin Ruan’s handling of the puppet soul, he could actually see the ashen-faced, grotesque male puppet soul.

That was a puppet soul!

Young Liu Ze was so terrified that his face twisted with fear. He dove directly into Madam Liu’s embrace, his mouth constantly muttering ’puppet soul, puppet soul!’

Seeing Liu Ze’s condition, Madam Liu rounded up her husband and they huddled together as a family, their faces full of panic.

Qin Ruan stared at Liu Ze, who was nestled in Madam Liu’s arms, her voice slightly stern, "Liu Ze, how many classmates entered the haunted house with you that day?"

Liu Ze wasn’t able to hear Qin Ruan’s question. He clung to his mother, his mouth constantly muttering his fear of the puppet soul.

He was almost hysterical from fear.

Every time he closed his eyes, the skewed, terrifying face of the male puppet soul would appear in his mind.

Liu Ze wailed, "Mommy, I am afraid, there’s a puppet soul, puppet soul!"

"There’s a puppet soul, puppet soul..."

Madam Liu was heartbroken holding her son. Facing the urgent Qin Ruan, she begged, "Little master, please don’t push him any further, the child is terrified."

Qin Ruan coldly snorted, "The puppet soul in your house is only one of them. I can’t guarantee that the families of the classmates who went to the amusement park with your son won’t have problems. The longer we delay, the greater the danger they face.

Liu Ze was only being drained of his positive energy by the puppet soul. We can’t be sure about the other classmates. This is an earth-bound spirit, not just a regular puppet monster!"

Madam Liu, feeling heartbroken for her son, couldn’t say a word as she held Liu Ze tightly.

The child was terrified, constantly shouting for his mother and expressing his fear.

She couldn’t bear to press her child and gently patted Liu Ze’s back in an attempt to soothe him.

Seeing this, Liu Boyang stood up, forcefully pulling Liu Ze out of his wife’s embrace.

"Aaah...a puppet soul, a puppet soul!!"

"Mommy, save me, save me!!!"

"Puppet soul, puppet soul!!!"

Liu Ze’s wailing filled the room, his eyes out of focus, the boy was falling into madness, throwing punches and kicks at Liu Boyang.

Seeing this, Madam Liu quickly stood up to confront her husband, "What are you doing? Don’t you see Xiaoze is frightened? Let him go now!"

Faced with the questioning and blame from his wife, Liu Boyang held Liu Ze by the shoulder with one hand and raised the other to give him a hard slap.

"Smack!"

The sharp sound of a slap echoed in the Liu family’s living room.

Liu Boyang’s slap was very forceful, and the imprint of his fingers materialized on Liu Ze’s face in an instant, with his cheek swelling up noticeably.

"Why are you hitting him?"

Madam Liu was distraught. She went forward to pull Liu Boyang away, beating him angrily, "Have you gone mad? Didn’t you see Xiaoze was petrified? Yet you still hit him, don’t you have a heart?"

Liu Boyang pushed his wife aside and took hold of Liu Ze, who was no longer crying out in fear.

He grabbed his son’s face, demanding, "Who else entered the haunted house with you last week?"

"There were Wang Xiaoli, Chen Kaiming, Su Dazhi, and Meng Jie."

Liu Ze named four of his classmates in succession.

Liu Boyang gripped his son and walked over to Qin Ruan, "Little master?"

Qin Ruan asked with a furrowed brow, "Liu Ze, where do these four classmates of yours live?"

Liu Ze trembled as he answered, "They all live not too far from my house. We all play together usually."

Qin Ruan pointed at the male puppet soul not far away and asked Liu Ze, "Have you seen him before in the haunted house?"

"No."

Liu Ze shook his head, his pale face filled with fear as he hid behind Liu Boyang.

Qin Ruan squinted her eyes and spoke in a deliberately chilling tone, "Before this, he was leeching off your positive energy by laying on your shoulder. In less than half a month, he would have drained all your life energy. Do you know what would have awaited you?"

Again, Liu Ze shook his head, his eyes filling with terror. The child was on the verge of bursting into tears from Qin Ruan’s words.

"Once he’s drained all your life energy, you will die. You will become as horrid as a mummy."

"Wah!!!"

Liu Ze suddenly cried out, burying his face in Liu Boyang’s back.

A young man of his size was reduced to tears by a few words from Qin Ruan.

Liu Ze no longer thought that Qin Ruan was beautiful, but that she was a man-eating flower, seemingly beautiful but more dangerous than a puppet soul within.
