Chapter 444: Qin Ruan, the Man-Eating Flower, More Dangerous than ghosts

"Well," Qin Ruan leaned on the Liu family's sofa and gently touched her slightly bulging belly, "I'm pregnant with a baby."


"..." Song Banxian suddenly turned his head, staring at Qin Ruan's belly.


"..." Liu Boyang half-opened his mouth, looking particularly eerie.


"!!!" Mrs. Liu and Liu Ze were filled with intense shock, thrown into disarray by the sudden revelation.


As everyone was taken aback, Qin Ruan stared at Liu Ze and asked, "Liu Ze, your father said you went to an amusement park with your friends last week. Was it fun?"


"Huh?" Liu Ze didn't react at first.


He thought for a moment about Qin Ruan's question and replied, his tone distorted, "Yes, I went with my classmates. It was alright, just some rides we had already tried before."


Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, sounding indifferent, "Which rides did you try?"


"Roller coaster, whitewater rafting, swinging ship, elevator ride, and bumper cars."


Still immersed in the shock of Qin Ruan being married and even pregnant, Liu Ze, affected by the aftermath, answered without hesitation.


Qin Ruan's pitch-black eyes flickered with a sharp gleam as she stared at Liu Ze, releasing an inexplicable pressure from her body. "And?"


Liu Ze looked puzzled, "That's all."


When he went to the amusement park with his classmates that day, there was nothing else interesting except for those few attractions. The rest of the time was spent eating and drinking.


"Think harder."


Qin Ruan's gradually darkening eyes coldly fixed on the male ghost wrapped around Liu Ze's neck.


Sensing the danger, the male ghost grinned at her, and dense black mist emanated from its body, almost engulfing it and Liu Ze.


Qin Ruan's expression turned slightly cold, and the coldness in her eyes chilled to the bone.


"Friend Qin?"


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


Without turning around, Qin Ruan glanced at Liu Ze and asked in a deep voice, "Liu Ze, I'm asking you, what other rides did you go on later?"


"N...none, really."


Liu Ze's tone stuttered, tinged with uncertainty.


He didn't know what was going on, but he felt his neck tighten a bit and reached up to relieve the inexplicable feeling of suffocation.


The male ghost clinging to his shoulder wrapped its arms around Liu Ze's bulging neck, its grip gradually tightening.


Suddenly, Liu Ze's face revealed a look of terror, "I... I remember, we also went to the haunted house later!"


As soon as he finished speaking, the entangled male ghost was instantly thrown off.


Qin Ruan also took action.


She stood up, lifted her foot, and stepped on the stone table. Her exquisite face bore a sinister expression as she coldly stared at the male ghost attached to the wall. The power of the Dark Soul erupted from her fingertips and shot directly at the male ghost soul.


The male ghost hideous facial features showed panic, and its soul disappeared from its original position in an instant.


Qin Ruan placed her other foot on the stone table, crossed over it, and landed both feet on the floor of the living room. Her eyes disdainfully swept over the male ghost fleeing inside the room.


Her red lips curled into a cold smile, her voice exuding a sense of oppression and danger, "You dare to trespass into someone's home and harm them, puny little lonely ghost. You've lived long enough!"


The male ghost expression turned ferocious and terrifying. Its gloomy eyes stared at Qin Ruan as it uttered a mad declaration, "None of your damn business! Little girl, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, I'll suck all your essence!"


"You're overestimating yourself!" Qin Ruan's eyes narrowed slightly, her face turning cold. A terrifying and powerful pressure emanated from her body.


The male ghost's soul trembled, suddenly rushing towards Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan raised her hands, and thousands of golden threads emerged from her fingertips, crazily sweeping towards the male ghost.


"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"


"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!!"


The male puppet touched by the power of the Underworld emitted sounds of agony.


More and more dense threads wrapped around him, and the wailing cries grew louder and more heart-wrenching.


After trapping the male ghost, Qin Ruan slowly stepped back and sat on the stone table behind her, arms crossed, coldly gazing at the fallen male ghost.


At the moment Qin Ruan took action, Hou Chuan and Lin Hao immediately approached.


At this moment, the two stood beside Qin Ruan.


Lin Hao nudged Hou Chuan with his arm and asked in a low voice, "Did you see that thing?"


"What?" Hou Chuan looked bewildered.


Every time he saw his master dealing with those unseen things, he was utterly confused, both fearful and astonished.


Lin Hao pointed to the male ghost wrapped in thousands of dense golden threads, writhing in agony, and asked Huo Chuan, "That male ghost, can you see it?"


Hou Chuan looked in the direction he was pointing, but there was no one there, nothing at all.


His face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse softly, turning his head to stare at Lin Hao in disbelief.


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


Lin Hao nodded calmly, "Height about 1.6 meters, a fat guy, should have weighed around 170 pounds when alive, ugly features that are unbearable to look at, definitely a sleazy man."


Hearing his detailed description, Hou Chuan immediately distanced himself from Lin Hao.


Upon hearing Lin Hao's detailed account, Qin Ruan glanced at him with a smile that seemed both amused and mocking. "Your Third Eye hasn't been sealed yet, has it?"


Lin Hao rubbed his forehead with his hand, sounding helpless and somewhat pained. "I don't want to see these things either. Why don't you take them back?"


"I can't," Qin Ruan shook her head and looked at Lin Hao with a teasing expression. "The disappearance of your Third Eye is uncertain."


Lin Hao's mouth twitched. "So, does that mean I'll be able to see those ghosts every day?"


Qin Ruan touched her chin with her finger, staring at Lin Hao thoughtfully. "On your way here, did you see any wandering souls or wild ghosts?"


"No," Lin Hao shook his head.


Qin Ruan was also uncertain. "That might be due to other reasons, such as when I capture the ghost or when the ghost energy is too dense. That's when you can see them."


Hou Chuan interjected, "Were there any ghost on our way here?"


Lin Hao also showed a thirst for knowledge in his eyes.


Qin Ruan smiled meaningfully at the two, adopting a deliberately cold tone. "They're everywhere."


The two tall men, both over 1.8 meters, couldn't help but shiver at her words, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.


Qin Ruan smiled contentedly and turned to look at Liu Boyang and his wife and son. The whole family was trembling, even Song Banxian sitting beside them had a nervous expression.


Liu Boyang explained to his wife and son the reason for inviting Song Banxian and Qin Ruan to their home.


Mrs. Liu didn't believe it at first when she heard about the ghost in their house.


However, when Qin Ruan took action and captured the ghost, the inexplicable suffocating feeling that had been constricting Liu Ze's neck disappeared.


When Qin Ruan reached out to grab the ghost, he could actually see the male ghost with its pale face and ugly features.


That was a ghost!

A teenage Liu Ze was instantly terrified, his facial features contorting as he jumped into Mrs. Liu's embrace, his mouth continuously murmuring in fear.


Mrs. Liu noticed that something was wrong and huddled together with her husband, their entire family appearing panicked and disoriented.


Qin Ruan stared at Liu Ze, who was crouched in Mrs. Liu's arms, his tone slightly serious. "Liu Ze, how many classmates were with you when you entered the haunted house that day?"


Liu Ze couldn't hear Qin Ruan's question. He was clinging to his mother, muttering incessantly about his fear.


He was almost driven to madness.


Every time he closed his eyes, the twisted and horrifying face of the malevolent spirit would appear in his mind.


Liu Ze sobbed, "Mom, I'm scared, there's a malevolent spirit, a malevolent spirit!"


"Malevolent spirit! Malevolent spirit..."


Mrs. Liu held her son tightly, overwhelmed with concern. Facing Qin Ruan's demanding presence, she pleaded, "Little master, please don't press him further. This child is terrified."


Qin Ruan let out a light snort. "The malevolent spirit in your house is just one of them. I can't guarantee that the classmates who went to the amusement park with your son are safe. The longer we delay, the greater the danger they face. This is a terrestrial-bound spirit, not an ordinary monster!"


Mrs. Liu's heart ached for her son as she held Liu Ze close, unable to speak for a while.


The frightened child kept calling for his mother, expressing his fear.


Reluctant to force her child, Mrs. Liu gently patted Liu Ze's back, soothing him with tender words.


Liu Boyang stood up and abruptly pulled Liu Ze out of his wife's embrace.


"Ahh... There's a malevolent spirit, a malevolent spirit!!!"


"Mom, save me, save me!!!"


"There's a malevolent spirit, a malevolent spirit!!!"


Liu Ze's agonizing screams echoed, his eyes unable to focus as he descended into madness, punching and kicking at Liu Boyang.


Witnessing this, Mrs. Liu quickly stood up and confronted her husband, questioning him, "What are you doing? Can't you see how terrified Ze is? Let him go!"


Faced with his wife's interrogation and blame, Liu Boyang pressed his hand against Liu Ze's shoulder and raised his other hand, striking down forcefully.


"Slap!"


The crisp sound of a slap resounded through the Liu family's living room.


Liu Boyang's slap was exceptionally strong, leaving visible finger marks on Liu Ze's face, which rapidly swelled and turned red.


"Why did you hit the child?"


Mrs. Liu grew frantic, rushing forward to pull and strike at Liu Boyang. "Have you gone mad? Can't you see how scared Ze is? You hit him, don't you have a heart?"


Liu Boyang pushed his wife away, dragging the now calm but still fearful Liu Ze. He held his son's cheeks, demanding, "Who else went into the haunted house with you last week?"


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


Liu Ze listed the names of four classmates.


Liu Boyang pulled his son along and approached Qin Ruan. "Little master?"


Furrowing her brows, Qin Ruan asked Liu Ze, "Where do these four classmates live?"


Liu Ze's voice trembled. "They don't live far from my house. We usually play together."

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


"No," Liu Ze shook his head, his face turning pale, and half of his body hiding behind Liu Boyang.


Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and deliberately spoke in a chilling tone, "He was previously perched on your shoulder, sucking your vitality. Within half a month, he will absorb all your life force. Do you know what awaits you?"


Liu Ze shook his head again, his eyes filled with fear. The child was on the verge of tears from Qin Ruan's words.


"When he absorbs all your life force, you will die, and when you die, you will become hideous like a dried corpse."


"Wow!!!"


Liu Ze burst into tears, burying his face tightly into Liu Boyang's back.


This young boy was scared to tears by Qin Ruan's words.


Liu Ze no longer thought Qin Ruan was beautiful. He felt that she was like a man-eating flower, seemingly beautiful but actually more dangerous than the ghost.
