Sinisterium Pawnshop: Exclusive to Malevolent Objects

　　The just-relaxed atmosphere instantly became tense again.

　　Lu Fei said anxiously, "She can't be allowed to come back. If the evil entity gets its way, your whole family will be done for!"

　　Su Liguo naturally understood, and he shouted into the phone, "Xiaoning, you get back to school right now! No causing trouble!"

　　Then, he loudly instructed Su Mingxuan, "Hurry up and buy a ticket back to America for your sister!"

　　Su Mingxuan fumbled with his phone in a fluster.

　　"No! I won't go back!" On the phone, Su Ningxue's voice was resolute, "You've gone too far! Mom is so sick, and you won't even let me see her. All you care about is your business..."

　　"Xiao Ning, trust Dad! I'm trying to save them!" Su Liguo's forehead was drenched in sweat, "I'll explain later. If you come back now, all our efforts will be in vain..."

　　"Why..."

　　Su Ningxue didn't finish her sentence; her voice suddenly cut off.

　　After a second, a thud came through the receiver.

　　It was followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and many people shouting in panic.

　　"Someone has fainted..."

　　"Miss, are you okay..."

　　"Ambulance, call an ambulance..."

　　The call was disconnected.

　　Su Liguo felt cold all over, his fingers trembling.

　　"Xiao Ning, something happened to Xiao Ning? Manager Xiao Lu, is there...still a chance for our Su family?"

　　No one would have expected that Su Ningxue would suddenly return.

　　The living room was filled with a somber atmosphere.

　　"It has just begun, there should be a chance! The evil entity needs time to absorb the vital energy from the organs." Lu Fei forced himself to remain calm and quickly said: "President Su, send someone to meet Miss Su right away and make sure she gets the best treatment immediately to stabilize her condition."

　　"Uncle Fugui, come with me to the Buddha hall to buy some time!"

　　Liu Fugui was stunned, pointing at himself: "Me?"

　　"What, are you unwilling?"

　　"No, no! I don't know anything, I'm afraid I'll hold you back!"

　　"Don't worry, follow me!"

　　Without further ado, Lu Fei dragged him towards the Buddha hall.

　　Su Liguo also sprang into action, waving to Su Mingxuan: "You take people to the airport right away and save your sister! You must keep her alive, or don't even think about coming back!"

　　"I'm on my way!"

　　Su Mingxuan, with wobbly legs, ran out of the living room.

　　Su Liguo then called the housekeeper and learned that a rooster had already been bought and they were currently on their way to pick out a black cat.

　　"Divide and conquer. Send someone to bring back the rooster first!"

　　"Yes."

　　Putting down his phone, Su Liguo took a deep breath. Only when no one was around did a hint of helplessness appear on his face.

　　If there were real gods and buddhas in this world, he would pay any price to ensure the safety of the Su family!

　　In the side hall, where the Buddha shrine was located.

　　Lu Fei went straight to the statue of the Buddha Mother.

　　Isn't the appearance of Buddha Mother, with her sharp face and slanted eyes, just like the image of a snake spirit in stories?

　　What Buddha Mother, it's more like Snake Mother!

　　The statue of Snake Mother had its corners of the mouth lifted up, holding a golden ingot in her arms, with a pervasive aura of Yin. The stone eyeballs had turned into strange green vertical pupils, seemingly mocking Lu Fei coldly.

　　So what if Lu Fei saw through its true form, he was still one step behind!

　　"Uncle Fugui, I need to borrow something from you."

　　"What?"

　　Liu Fugui was trembling with fear.

　　"Borrow some Yang blood from you!" Lu Fei made him bite the tip of his tongue to draw blood.

　　Liu Fugui was afraid of pain, but thinking that this was the best opportunity to climb up the Su family, he bit the tip of his tongue resolutely, spraying a mouthful of blood onto the statue of Snake Mother.

　　As a chilling wind blew by, the green vertical pupils of Snake Mother instantly turned back into stone eyes.

　　"Useful!"

　　Lu Fei was overjoyed.

　　But Liu Fugui felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.

　　Due to years of indulgence in alcohol and women, his physical condition was not as good as Lu Fei's; spitting out a mouthful of true yang qi had left him still vibrant and lively.

　　"I really put my old life on the line this time." He sat on the mat, panting heavily.

　　Half an hour later.

　　The five-year-old rooster was finally delivered to the villa!

　　"Young Master Lu!" Su Liguo personally brought the rooster and ran into the Buddha hall at top speed.

　　"Great! You've arrived just in time."

　　Lu Fei took the rooster, quickly untied the ropes binding its legs, and threw it toward the statue of the Snake Mother.

　　Cluck cluck cluck!

　　The rooster flapped its wings and, to everyone's surprise, flew up, landing directly on top of the statue of the Snake Mother, and began pecking at it.

　　Tink tink tink!

　　The sound of its sharp beak striking the stone rang out crisply.

　　A look of pain and fear actually appeared on the face of the stone statue.

　　"When will the black cat arrive?" Lu Fei asked again.

　　"Soon, it's on the way!" Su Liguo was in a state of extreme anxiety, "Will we make it in time?"

　　"With the rooster holding it off, we should make it in time!" Even Lu Fei wasn't entirely sure, but at this point, they could only give it their all.

　　He pulled out a small dagger made from dog teeth, planning to, if anything happened to the rooster, use his middle finger blood to coat the dagger and fight the Snake Mother with all his might!

　　Everyone watched the rooster with bated breath, not daring to even exhale.

　　For a moment.

　　The only sound in the Buddha hall was the clinking of a rooster pecking at the stone.

　　Snap.

　　This rooster was extremely large and formidable. After a fierce peck, a crack appeared on the top of the stone statue.

　　But there was no time for joy, as a pungent black liquid began to seep from the crack in the statue. When the rooster came into contact with the liquid, it flapped its wings in agony and fell off the statue.

　　"Snake venom!"

　　Lu Fei's heart sank, and he prepared to cut his middle finger and fight desperately.

　　At this critical moment.

　　"The black cat has arrived!"

　　The butler stumbled into the Buddha hall and accidentally fell to the ground.

　　A black cat, as dark as a cloud, leapt out of his arms, soared through the air, and directly pounced on the snake mother.

　　Meow-roar—

　　Sharp cat claws scratched across the stone statue.

　　The rooster also struggled to stand up, pecking at the base of the stone statue.

　　Under the combined assault, the stone statue wobbled several times and, unable to withstand the pressure, finally crumbled with a loud crash.

　　Inside, a long, grayish-white object was finally revealed.

　　Lu Fei's eyes lit up.

　　It turned out to be a snake molt!

　　Both the rooster and the black cat showed an unusual interest in the snake molt and started to fight over it.

　　Lu Fei, like a fisherman reaping the benefits, quickly put on his gloves and scooped up the snake molt, stowing it away in his bag.

　　The rooster and the black cat were both startled, stopping their fight and simultaneously turning to look at Lu Fei.

　　"Looking at me won't help, this thing is mine. I'll give you guys some treats later!" Lu Fei grinned at them and zipped up his backpack.

　　He had gone through so much trouble to get this evil object, how could he let them take it away?

　　Then, he inspected the broken statue once again.

　　The golden ingots had cracked open, revealing a series of milky-white snake eggs inside!

　　"It really did treat the Su family's home as its own nest, laying eggs and raising its offspring here," Lu Fei felt a wave of disgust, and then gestured to the two small animals.

　　"These are for you."

　　The rooster and the black cat ran over, competing to gobble up the snake eggs until they were all gone.

　　Lu Fei finally relaxed completely, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said to Su Liguo, "Mr. Su, everything is under control now."

　　Su Liguo's heart was still pounding violently.

　　Even though he didn't personally participate in that intense confrontation, he still felt it was a heart-stopping experience.

　　Now that he had stopped, he realized his back was drenched in cold sweat, chilling to the bone.

　　He still couldn't relax: "What about my family..."

　　"After today, things should improve. If Mr. Su is not at ease, you can give me this evil object tomorrow, and I will keep it for you." Lu Fei said with a smile.

　　"Of course, I trust Manager Xiao Lu..."

　　At that moment, Su Liguo's phone rang again; it was from Su Mingxuan.

　　"Dad, it's about my sister..."
