Chapter 82: The Marrow-Eating Spirit Puppet

The Muying smelled the scent of blood and was extremely excited; it wobbled on its two short legs and ran up to a killer, who was still twitching and not yet completely dead.

It circled the killer once, then suddenly opened its large mouth, revealing a set of sharp teeth, and with one bite, it swallowed the killer's head directly into its mouth.

The killer immediately began to twitch violently; a moment later, the Muying let go of the killer, revealing a look of complete satisfaction.

However, there was a huge bloody hole in the killer's head, and the brains had already been sucked dry.

Ning Ruoxue's face turned pale instantly; if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a thing could exist in this world.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Chen Yu said, shielding her behind him to comfort her.

After the Muying finished gnawing on the brains of the three killers, it turned its head back, its eyeballs rolling around, and stared at Chen Yu and Ning Ruoxue.

When it saw that the two were living human beings, it couldn't help but let out a shriek of surprise, and it began to slowly approach the two, stepping forward on its two short legs.

It stopped at a distance of three meters from the two, then tilted its head and stared at them; immediately, the expression on its face became incomparably evil, and then its mouth opened, and a blood-red basin-like mouth filled with teeth bit toward Chen Yu's head.

Chen Yu sneered; he stretched out his right hand, and between his index and middle fingers, a blood-colored Talisman Paper appeared. The paper was dark red, and blood-colored light flowed slowly along the symbols on the Talisman Paper.

"Heavenly Karma Fire, burn the heavens and destroy demons." With a flick of his right hand, the Talisman Paper in his hand suddenly unfolded, turning into several sheets that scattered suddenly in mid-air, sticking tightly to the Puppet's body.

The Muying seemed not to have expected that Chen Yu would actually play this hand against it; it shrieked in terror and then stumbled backward.

With a boom, several clusters of fire rose into the sky from its body; this righteous Talisman of Karma Fire, being extremely upright and rigid, was the supreme nemesis of such yin-filthy things.

Screams came one after another; this shrill sound was ear-piercing. The fire roared to life with a boom, and the Muying rolled on the ground. A moment later, it stopped moving, the fire gradually extinguished, and its body turned into a charred corpse.

"Chen Yu, wh-what is this thing?" Ning Ruoxue was almost stunned; the impact of what was before her eyes was too great.

"A Marrow-Eating Puppet, a type of evil art from Southeast Asia. It involves sealing a fierce Spirit that has been raised into a Puppet and driving it with Descending Head curses to eat human brains and kill people invisibly." Chen Yu stared at the charred remains; he already had an idea of who had come.

The opponent's methods were the same as the Blood Coffin he had seen at the construction site that day; it seemed that the person behind the scenes could not be separated from the likes of Du Feng and Zhao Zhong.

"Who is the opponent?" Ning Ruoxue asked in shock.

"Don't worry, they are coming for me," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"But I don't want to see you suffer any harm." Ning Ruoxue grabbed Chen Yu's hand tightly, tears falling slowly.

"In this life, I will also protect myself well." Chen Yu held her hand; a thousand words were stuck in his throat, yet he did not know where to begin.

Several days later, Tianyun Group.

"President Chen, I have already prepared a detailed plan for the Chinese medicine cultivation base you proposed. I think this plan is very beneficial for the long-term development of our company." Song Mengyan took out a proposal and said, "Please take a look at the feasibility of the plan..."

"No need to look, just execute it according to your ideas," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"You're not going to take a look?" Song Mengyan was slightly stunned.

"No need, I trust you," Chen Yu said. "After the new drugs from Tianyun Pharmaceutical hit the market, the response has been very good. We must strike while the iron is hot and take down the thirty thousand acres of medicinal fields on the Mountain."

"Alright then, I will go ahead boldly. There is one more thing: now that our company's new drugs have strong momentum, many investors want to buy shares in Tianyun. I have screened a list, and the people on this list are all capable; we can consider it." Song Mengyan took out a list.

Chen Yu opened the list and saw the words "Qingwan Group" prominently listed at a glance.

"Qingwan Group is also under consideration?" Chen Yu frowned.

"Yes, the chairperson of Qingwan Group is Li Qingwan, and she holds shares jointly with her husband Zhou Lin. The company has already started the process of going public, so I think Qingwan Group is capable." Song Mengyan saw that Chen Yu's expression was a bit off. "Is there a problem, President Chen?"

"They cannot go public," Chen Yu said, closing the list. "The company will not accept any form of investment. Believe me, the company's market value will multiply in the future; equity is safest when kept in one's own hands."

"Alright, I understand, President Chen." Song Mengyan nodded.

"President Chen, President Song, someone from Qingwan Group is here, saying they want to discuss the matter of buying shares." At this moment, the assistant opened the door.

"I'll go receive them," Chen Yu sneered and stood up.

In the reception room, an elegant-looking woman was sitting and waiting; she was none other than Chen Yu's wife from his previous life, Li Qingwan.

Through the glass of the reception room, Chen Yu's expression was somewhat complex.

Li Qingwan, the woman he had loved to death in his previous life; seeing her again across lifetimes, Chen Yu felt somewhat dazed.

When he had just been reborn, he had imagined more than once what it would be like to see her, but upon seeing her again, Chen Yu felt that he had been an idiot in his previous life.

In this life, he understood the art of Physiognomy. Now, in his eyes, Li Qingwan, although elegant in appearance, had eyes like autumn water and a complexion like peach blossoms, with a half-smiling, affectionate look. The area around her eyes was slightly peach-colored; in the study of Appearance, this was a thoroughly promiscuous look...

He had been blind in his previous life to actually like such a woman, and he had even given her all the company's shares, and she was even the beneficiary of a huge insurance policy. Well, that was great; she colluded with Zhou Lin to plot against him and sent him straight to his death.

But since he had started over, Chen Yu would naturally repay the harm she had caused him tenfold.

"Hello, Ms. Li, I am the Vice President of Tianyun Group in charge of negotiating with you. My surname is Chen." Chen Yu walked up and handed over his business card.

"Isn't the person in charge of Tianyun Pharmaceutical Ms. Song?" Li Qingwan was somewhat surprised, and then her eyes became seductive. "However, it is also my honor to talk with President Chen."

"I hold fifty percent of the shares and am on equal footing with her." Chen Yu smiled faintly and extended his hand, a hint of imperceptible ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "Let me introduce myself; my name is Chen Yu."

"Chen Yu?" Li Qingwan looked up abruptly, a trace of terror flashing in her eyes. When she looked up and saw Chen Yu, the panic in her eyes settled slightly; this was not her dead husband, just someone with the same name and surname.

"Yes, my name is Chen Yu. We haven't met before, have we?" Chen Yu smiled.

"No, it's just that President Chen's name is exactly the same as my late ex-husband's." Li Qingwan smiled reluctantly. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Chen Yu did not let go.

She looked up at Chen Yu in surprise.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Ms. Li, your fingertips are cold; this is a symptom of deficiency of Qi and blood, stomach heat, and cold uterus. May I ask, did Ms. Li have signs of a miscarriage a year ago?"
