Before long, Yu Nian and Feng Chengyuan entered the main hall through the side door. Their steps were gentle as they walked side by side.
When Brother Qi saw Yu Nian, he was momentarily stunned, and a hint of strong admiration flashed across his eyes. His gaze followed Yu Nian until she took her seat.
"You're also from this Taoist temple? You're so beautiful. It's such a pity to be a Taoist priest..."
Mu Chuchu said in a panic, "Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense. This is the master I told you about."
Brother Qi was taken aback, and his eyes showed a bit of curiosity and exploration.
This kind of cold and mysterious beauty had successfully piqued his desire to conquer.
Brother Qi gave a playful smile and was about to say something else when a tall figure blocked his view.
Feng Chengyuan turned his head and glanced at him. A ripple passed through his bottomless eyes, like a fierce beast sending an extremely dangerous signal to its prey.
Brother Qi shrank back in fear under this oppressive force and turned his head away with an ashen face.
Feng Chengyuan withdrew his gaze and calmly poured a cup of warm water for Yu Nian as if nothing had happened.
Mu Chuchu saw everything and felt even more bitter in her heart. If Feng Chengyuan hadn't rejected her back then, why would she have had to humble herself and throw herself into Qi Peng's arms, becoming this old man's mistress!
But what was so special about Yu Nian that she could even draw Feng Chengyuan, the iceberg, to the Taoist temple?!
Mu Chuchu tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear and showed a gentle and proper smile. She probed, "What a coincidence, President Feng. Why are you here too? Are you... together with Yu Nian?"
Feng Chengyuan's eyes swept across Mu Chuchu, and suddenly he remembered how battered Yu Nian had been when exorcising the infant spirit. His tone was cold, "What Yu Nian and I are to each other has nothing to do with you. Instead of caring about others, you'd better deal with your own affairs first."
Mu Chuchu's face froze, and she nodded awkwardly.
Brother Qi also caught on. His eyes shifted suspiciously between Feng Chengyuan and Mu Chuchu, and finally he gave Mu Chuchu a fierce glare.
Yu Nian didn't seem to care about the emotional fluctuations among the people. She asked calmly, "Did you bring the child's body?"
Mu Chuchu stepped forward and handed the box to Yu Nian.
The moment the box was opened, everyone gasped.
Inside was a huge glass jar. The jar was densely covered with strange symbols written in cinnabar. The jar was filled with an unknown red liquid, and the infant corpse that had already taken on a human form was soaking at the bottom of the jar, curled up in a small ball. The long umbilical cord was floating and swaying in the dark red water...
A stench hit them. He Zhiping and Ming Mingzhong looked ugly and turned their heads away to vomit.
Brother Qi glanced at it and showed a look of extreme disgust on his face.
He had a family and a wife. He was just having fun with Mu Chuchu.
He wanted her beauty, and Mu Chuchu wanted his money. They hit it off, but they didn't expect that she would accidentally get pregnant. Fortunately, Mu Chuchu was sensible and had an abortion on her own initiative.
He really didn't expect that Mu Chuchu would be so crazy as to turn the child into a Gumantong. Just thinking that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the room when he was doing those things with Mu Chuchu made him feel nauseous.
Yu Nian took the jar and asked, "Did you prepare all the things I told you on the phone?"
Mu Chuchu quickly nodded, "I bought all the baby clothes, toys, and food! I've also chosen the cemetery. It's a place with excellent feng shui."
There was no expression on Yu Nian's face. "Then let's go."
When everyone left the Qingxin Taoist Temple, the sky was clear. But the moment they got off the car at the cemetery, it suddenly started to drizzle.
Yu Nian looked around the cemetery. It was surrounded by green trees and there were mountains in the distance. The feng shui was indeed good.
Mu Chuchu walked up to a tombstone with nothing engraved on it and stopped. "This is the place."
Feng Chengyuan stared at the tombstone and frowned. "Why is there no name on the tombstone?"
Mu Chuchu forced a smile. "I haven't given her a name yet. And my identity is special. I don't know how many reporters and fans are watching me every day. The fewer people who know about this child, the better. Once it's exposed, my star career will really be over..."
Yu Nian didn't say anything, but a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.
She took out the child's body and handed it to the staff of the funeral home for cremation.
Brother Qi frowned, folded his arms, and stopped the person. He asked, "How much longer will it take to finish?"
The staff member said, "It will take at least two hours."
Brother Qi's eyes widened suddenly. "Two hours? I have a lot of things to deal with in my company. I don't have time to waste here!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and drove away.
Two hours later, the warm urn of ashes was placed in Yu Nian's hands.
Mu Chuchu never stepped forward. She stood in the corner, wrapped up tightly, looking around uneasily.
The staff member couldn't stand it anymore. "Are they really the child's biological parents? How come..."
Yu Nian shook her head. "Don't worry about them."
She placed the heavy urn of ashes in the cemetery. She took out a pair of candles, three incense sticks, a stack of paper money, and a small incense burner from her bag.
After lighting the incense, Yu Nian whispered incantations, which attracted a lot of onlookers.
Her voice was soft but very pleasant. Feng Chengyuan listened attentively and actually felt a sense of relief and detachment.
Someone in the onlookers rubbed their eyes and said in surprise, "Why do I feel like crying?"
Yu Nian placed the fruits and toys that Mu Chuchu had brought in front of the tombstone. Finally, she said gently, "Let's go."
At the same time, Feng Chengyuan seemed to see a golden mist rising from the tombstone and finally merging with the sky.
After everything was over, Mu Chuchu finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to everyone.
Yu Nian fiddled with the beads on her wrist and said calmly, "You have to come here to offer incense on the Zhongyuan Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Festival every year to soothe her resentment. Finally, I'll remind you one more time. If you mess with those evil ways again in the future, even the gods won't be able to save you."
Mu Chuchu nodded with red eyes. She seemed very sad and knelt in front of the tombstone, crying. "I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never have such evil thoughts again." She paused for a moment, and her eyes fell on Feng Chengyuan. Her tone was pitiful. "As the old saying goes, it's never too late to mend one's ways... President Feng, do you think my child will forgive me?"
Feng Chengyuan sneered. "Why are you asking me? You hid her in the showcase for a whole year. Why didn't you ask her during that year?"
Mu Chuchu was speechless and didn't say anything else.
It seemed that this matter had finally come to an end. Looking at Mu Chuchu's departing back, Feng Chengyuan suddenly asked, "Yu Nian, do you think Mu Chuchu will really turn over a new leaf?"
Yu Nian's eyes were calm. "Mu Chuchu went from an unknown extra to a first-line star by raising a little ghost. Once people taste the sweetness in something, they will start to demand more and more, until death do us part."
...
In the dim room, the smell of blood was spreading crazily. There was a strange-looking golden child statue on the offering table, and there were densely engraved runes on the back of the child.
Mu Chuchu cut off a lock of her hair and placed it beside the incense burner together with a bowl of fingertip blood.
This golden child statue was what she had obtained again from Thailand. It was said to be made from the ashes of children in a mass grave and was extremely powerful.
This wasn't her child. The resentment shouldn't be so strong, right...
She closed her eyes and silently prayed devoutly, "May the golden child bless me. I want to become the queen of the awards and the most popular person in the entertainment industry! I want to have endless money. I want to stay young forever..."
