Chapter 178: Chapter 176: Aunt is Back (Part 2)

Hu Ju squinted his eyes and looked at several excavation pits nearby.

It’s easy to understand that a grand tomb would be visited by grave robbers stealing gold and silver treasures and other burial items, but why steal the corpses?

It can’t be simply explained as those grave robbers having unique tastes, so... if something unusual happens, there must be a demon involved!

Over a thousand skeletons can’t be moved by just a few people, and one must consider transportation and highway inspections as well.

Manual removal can be directly ruled out, so the only possibility is...

"This is a big case." Hu Ju said, squinting his beautiful fox eyes, a small pink Little Dumpling appearing in his mind.

Receiving the two hundred thousand transferred by Lei Wanchun, Yun Qi took a deep breath. Coupled with what she earned before, it’s quite a lot and can last for a while.

Sitting in the car, she counted her fingers and analyzed seriously—

Hu Yuying had followed the zombie into reincarnation through the earth vein some time ago, so she doesn’t need to consider her anymore.

Next is the Little Green Snake, as an Object Demon it doesn’t need to drink or eat, mainly absorbs spiritual energy, which is no problem since she is naturally abundant in spiritual energy, and wearing the Jade Pendant occasionally is sufficient for its sustenance.

The Mountain Ghost is the main expense, the incense fee is currently the biggest expenditure, but her painting was a huge help, so spending money for her is deserved.

The Jiao Long and the Peacock are Demon Kings, not just satisfied with absorbing spiritual power, and their appetite must be considered, it seems necessary to buy some fish, chicken, and pork to feed them in time. Especially the Peacock, this guy has an evil nature, and if not properly fed, it might really go out and eat people.

Huang Mingzhuo is easier to handle, this guy is serving a sentence, let him work while picking wild vegetables and hunting in the back mountain to sustain himself.

The Armor is even simpler, it doesn’t need food.

Heh heh, thinking of the last two, she suddenly felt she saved a lot of money, the Little Dumpling showed a miserly happy smile.

"Qi, why can even armor become a demon nowadays?" Yun Qiuce asked while driving.

"Well, if a Jade Pendant can become a demon, so can armor. It used to be worn by people, on the battlefield it absorbed a lot of blood and death energy, as long as the opportunity arises it can cultivate into a demon, but it needs supervision and warning, if slightly neglected it becomes a dangerous object." Yun Qi stretched her little hands, lazily yawned.

"But the Jade Pendant and the Armor don’t seem like modern creations, the pendant looks ancient in style, and the armor is also ancient, in ancient times not many things passed down normally, most were buried with the dead, do you think they both are burial items?" Yun Qiuce analyzed.

The Little Dumpling’s eyes brightened, incredulous, "Uncle, when did you become so smart!"

Yun Qiuce was stunned, it took him quite a while to perceive the huge surprise in his little niece’s tone, feeling his heart ache.

Has the impression of being not very smart in his little niece’s mind become this entrenched?

Suddenly remembered something, "Your aunt is back, she’s still in the hospital, let’s go see her and give her a surprise first." Yun Qiuce said, turning the car to another road.

Aunt?

Yun Qi couldn’t quite recall, only knew she was dad’s second elder sister, who co-founded a pharmaceutical company and a private hospital with her uncle.

Currently, Yun Qiuhong was in the hospital corridor, facing family members angrily accusing her.

"How many days have we stayed in this hospital of yours? Spent how much money? The more we stay, the worse it gets!"

"Exactly, our Fang Yue is a doctor, the only one in our family, you think you can delay that?"

"I think you’re not even trying to cure seriously, just cheating money."

...

Yun Qiuhong frowned hard, holding back her anger, and explained nicely:

"Fang Yue’s condition is quite complicated, our expert group has been monitoring it, treatment including surgery has a recovery process..."

"What recovery process, just tell me how much money you need?" Fang Yue’s relatives rudely interrupted her.

Yun Qiuhong’s assistant stepped forward to stop them, Fang Yue’s family made a bigger fuss seeing this.

Yun Qiuce, taking Yun Qi out of the elevator, heard the commotion right away, with a crowd of patient family members gathered around.

Yun Qiuce approached, "Sister, what’s going on?"

"Old Four," Yun Qiuhong said tiredly, "It’s nothing, just a few family members causing trouble."

The voice was already low, but unfortunately, those family members still heard it, making the situation even more intense.

Yun Qi stood alone outside the crowd, a small bundle without advancing, suddenly feeling a violent vicious energy, she followed its source into a ward.

Fang Yue was lying there then, his body connected to various instruments, and the data on the monitoring screen fluctuated.

Yun Qi couldn’t understand this, her gaze moved to the window, a small clump of ink-like vicious energy vanished in an instant sensing her presence.

Yun Qi approached, pushed open the window, and saw a faint grey skull fingerprint left on it.

Huh? There’s another one here, slightly smaller than the previous one.

Not the same person.

While Yun Qi was observing intently, she didn’t know when the argument outside had already ended.

Yun Qiuce walked over, "Qi, how did you end up here, Uncle thought he lost you."

Behind him stood Yun Qiuhong, inheriting the high looks of the Yun Family, with her light chestnut hair pinned up, a few curls hanging down the side of her face, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, she looked like a highly educated intellectual.

The gaze behind the glasses carried inspection and scrutiny, "Are you Yun Qi?"

Yun Qi nodded, obediently calling out, "Aunt."

Her soft little voice was quite pleasing, but Yun Qiuhong’s face didn’t show much joy.

"Shouldn’t you be in kindergarten at this time? Why are you running around with your uncle?"

Yun Qi looked up at Yun Qiuce, and Yun Qiuce quickly explained:

"Brought Little Dumpling for business talks, took leave from kindergarten."

"Business talks, what business can you talk about?!" Her tone was full of doubt.

Yun Qi blinked, it seemed this aunt was quite strict.

"Not me, sister, it’s Qi..." Yun Qiuce spoke, both hands on his sister’s shoulders, leading her out of the ward.

Explaining while walking out, he glanced back to find Yun Qi staring intently at Fang Yue on the hospital bed.

Fang Yue sensed her gaze, tried hard to lift his head to smile at her, "Little girl, are you looking at me?"

He wore black-frame glasses, looking honest and upright, a scholarly aura about him, in his thirties, with a fair appearance.

Seeing Yun Qi not respond, he looked up at Yun Qiuhong, with a courteous and elegant demeanor, "Sorry, director, it must be quite difficult to deal with my relatives. I told them before to trust the hospital and the doctors, but they’re just like that, please bear with them."

Yun Qiuhong smiled, although the family was tough, the patient was reasonable. "No problem, we can understand the family’s worries, although your condition is complex, it’s not severe, serious treatment will allow a swift recovery..."

However, Yun Qi shook her head, murmuring, "No, it won’t."
