Chapter 240 The Black Lines of the Shen Family Ancestral Tomb
Li Tingxue kept running until she had run a full ten meters away, when she heard Jiang Mianmian's surprised and confused voice coming from behind her:
[Ah, why did that thing stop chasing us? Does it have a limited attack range?]
Ten meters?
Li Tingxue was startled, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
She stopped abruptly, panting heavily, and then turned around sharply to look around.
However, all she saw when she turned her head was the clear blue sky and lush green trees; she couldn't see anything else.
Woo woo woo...
How could I be so unlucky!
Li Tingxue felt wronged. Why did they have to keep staring at me like that?
What did I do wrong?
Meanwhile, Jiang Mianmian stared intently at the tentacles that were slowly retracting, muttering to herself thoughtfully:
[Wait, why is this monster only chasing Tingxue?]
[But there were so many people standing in front of the grave just now, yet it kept chasing Tingxue alone.]
Actually, she didn't really understand it. She had only read some books on this topic before, and unknowingly, she had gained a lot of strange and wonderful knowledge.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, then made an uncertain guess:
Could it be because Tingxue was almost possessed by someone before, leaving her physically weak and thus attracting the monster's attention?
Oh dear, what's that word used to describe this situation again?
Jiang Mianmian frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the contents of the relevant books she had read in the past.
Although most of this knowledge consists of strange and unverified speculations, at this point, we can only try it as a last resort.
Oh, right! It's because his mind is unstable!
Li Tingxue's heart suddenly skipped a beat, her face turned deathly pale, and she felt completely unwell. Ever since that terrifying experience of being possessed, she had been living in constant fear.
For this reason, she even spent a lot of money to invite the most famous doctor in the city to treat her.
However, after a thorough examination, the doctor only told her that apart from being weak due to childbirth, there was nothing else seriously wrong.
Oh, it seems my body is still rather weak...
Has she not yet recovered her lost energy?
Li Tingxue murmured to herself, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
Just then, Jiang Mianmian secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, she had left her granddaughter Le'an at the restaurant before coming and hadn't brought her along.
Otherwise, if such a young baby were to come into contact with this filthy thing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, she herself was someone who changed her own destiny, and perhaps she was in a state of "emptiness" right now. Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
Li Tingxue looked at Jiang Mianmian with gratitude, as if she had grasped at the last straw, and muttered to herself, "Mother-in-law, we really owe you a lot this time!"
If it weren't for you, my daughter and I would probably be dead! From now on, we're counting on you!
Seeing that the thing had gone back, Jiang Mianmian slowly walked to Li Tingxue's side, as if nothing had happened, and asked her why she ran so fast without waiting for her.
Li Tingxue said, trying to cover up her mistake, "I saw you running, and I thought you wanted to race me."
【Huh? 】
[That's a good reason, I used it!]
Jiang Mianmian said, "Since you know I want to compete with you, why won't you let me?"
He said it with such confidence and conviction.
Li Tingxue quickly apologized, saying that she would definitely give way to her next time.
However, Yu Guang was still staring in the direction of the Shen family's ancestral graves, eager to know how to solve this problem.
ah ah ah ah...
Indeed, what you can't see is the most terrifying!
Now, let alone offering sacrifices to her ancestors, she wouldn't even dare to approach the Xu family's ancestral graves.
Qin Ru, who was following behind, also looked unwell and ran directly towards the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "My goodness, you scared me! I thought something had happened."
Hey, that's not right.
Madam Shen's expression seemed a little off.
She followed Li Tingxue's gaze and turned to look at the Shen family ancestral graves behind her, but after looking again and again, she still couldn't see anything wrong.
So, what exactly went wrong?
Just as she was wondering, her legs had already run to Li Tingxue's side, winked at her, and asked silently.
Upon hearing Li Tingxue's words, Qin Ru instantly perked up, her pupils dilating as she gazed at the Shen family's ancestral graves.
No, my goodness!
But they can't see it, they can only watch helplessly as everything happens, so what's the point of doing anything?
Qin Ru looked at Li Tingxue: "Should we call those Taoist priests back?"
Li Tingxue looked utterly hopeless: [Waaaaah... You're all okay, but I'm the only one who's not!]
[I was possessed before, and my mother-in-law suspects that my soul is unstable, which is why that thing chases after me whenever it sees me. Conversely, I can't go near the ancestral graves.]
Qin Ru showed a sympathetic expression and told her not to come any closer, just stay on the outside, and that she would stay by Jiang Mianmian's side.
Li Tingxue thought so too. Anyway, her mother-in-law would take care of everything, so she, the little good-for-nothing, wouldn't get involved.
Although Qin Ru felt that something was off about what Li Tingxue said, she was not wrong.
Ugh……
Li Tingxue was silent and unnoticed!
They had only gone back to their hometown, who knew something like this would happen?
If only I had known this would happen... Li Tingxue thought. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have insisted on bringing the rest of the Shen family back with her.
Hmm, if they came back too, would they have been chased by that thing just like me?
Thinking of this possibility, the little voice in Li Tingxue's heart couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
…………
Jiang Mianmian was unaware of Li Tingxue's thoughts. At that moment, her eyes were fixed on the direction of the graveyard, and she felt that the thing seemed to be somewhat interesting.
Just after she arrived, when she caught a glimpse of the unusual appearance on the Shen family's ancestral grave, a thought flashed through her mind.
So she "coaxed" Li Tingxue, who was standing to the side, and pulled her to walk slowly around the Shen family's ancestral graves.
She claimed she wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the mountain with her daughter-in-law, but in reality, she wanted to verify whether what she had just seen was a hallucination.
Li Tingxue, who was kept in the dark, had a helpless and bitter smile on her face.
Mother-in-law, isn't that enough? How long are you going to keep this test going?
I really can't take it anymore!
At this moment, Li Tingxue felt as if she had become bait. No matter where she went, the thing on the Shen family's ancestral grave would follow her like a shadow.
What surprised Li Tingxue even more was that as soon as she got within ten meters of the ancestral grave, those things would rush towards her like they had gone mad.
Moreover, towards the end, that thing became increasingly violent, constantly extending numerous slender tentacles and launching attacks with ever-increasing speed.
Surprisingly, despite its aggressive demeanor, it was powerless against Li Tingxue, who was able to easily escape its attack range.
In the end, he could only fly into a rage, waving those annoying tentacles in the air in vain, almost driven mad with anger.
Oh, of course!
All these thrilling scenes were described to her by her mother-in-law, Jiang Mianmian.
Because only Jiang Mianmian could see this strange sight, while Li Tingxue could not see it at all.
This is really interesting!
I think I now understand the fun those anglers have, hehe!
At this moment, she turned to her mother-in-law beside her: Mother-in-law, don't you think I'm too big a bait?
Li Tingxue: Mother-in-law, what's wrong?!
Jiang Mianmian looked astonished and murmured:
【Oops! 】
Then came another exclamation:
[We've been ambushed!]
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue's heart tightened, and she really wanted to ask: What? You were ambushed?
She suddenly realized a terrible fact—she had unknowingly been standing within ten meters of the graveyard's attack range for quite some time without running away in time.
Could it be... that I was the one who was ambushed?!
Thinking of this, Li Tingxue couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Help!
【Ah ah ah...】
Jiang Mianmian stared wide-eyed at the graveyard.
Suddenly, she saw a black line appear out of nowhere, like a ghost, quickly emerging from behind Li Tingxue and rushing straight towards her.
Just as the black line was about to touch Li Tingxue's body, something unexpected happened at this critical moment.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light surged from Li Tingxue's body, like a ravenous wolf that had been lying in wait for a long time, opening its blood-red maw and instantly swallowing the menacing black line without a trace.
This sudden turn of events left Jiang Pian completely stunned.
【Aaaaaah... What did I just see?!】
How could Tingxue have something like that on her?!
Did you eat it?
[They actually ate it?!]
Li Tingxue was completely bewildered by the series of shouts. Her eyes widened, her mind filled with questions: Eat...eat what?
Who ate whom?
Also, what exactly is on my body?
As if suddenly realizing something, Jiang Mianmian reflexively looked up at the black line in the sky.
The black lines that had been baring their fangs and looking menacing suddenly retreated like startled rabbits the moment they saw a flash of golden light.
They trembled and twisted, as if they had encountered an extremely terrifying natural enemy. They obediently curled up together, not daring to move, just like mice encountering a cat.
[This thing is actually a natural counter to Black Line?!]
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but swallow, murmuring, "My goodness! This is unbelievable!"
Hearing Jiang Mianmian's exclamation, Li Tingxue became even more confused.
Who?
What on earth is so powerful?
[Amazing! Absolutely amazing!]
The moment it appeared, those arrogant black lines immediately became submissive, not even daring to approach.
No wonder it kept hiding and wouldn't show itself; it was afraid that if it appeared, the black lines would run away.
Jiang Mianmian understood.
