Chapter 150: The Dog Dealer's Curse

　　"Great!"

　　Lu Fei let out a long breath, then had the others release Xiao Ya, and he held the black umbrella over Xiao Ya's head.

　　However, the black umbrella did not react.

　　"This doesn't work?"

　　Lu Fei was taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he picked up Xiao Ya's hand and made her grip the handle of the black umbrella.

　　The eerie red flowers swayed, and Xiao Ya's soul slowly emerged, following the handle of the umbrella and returning to her body.

　　Dog fur fell off, and Xiao Ya's face finally returned to its original appearance.

　　"Everything is fine now!"

　　Lu Fei breathed heavily, his back drenched in cold sweat.

　　It had been a truly critical situation just now.

　　Thank goodness for this umbrella!

　　"Is Xiaoya okay?" Jiang Hao asked anxiously, looking at Lu Fei.

　　"The yin dog has been completely destroyed, and Mrs. Jiang's soul has returned to her body. With some rest, she will be fine."

　　"Good! Good!"

　　Jiang Hao was so moved he almost cried, and he immediately carried his wife back to the room to rest.

　　Jing Jian's expression relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

　　"Brother Jing, how are you?" Lu Fei hurried to check his injuries.

　　"I, I..." Jing Jian, pale-faced, was in too much pain to speak. His arm was torn and bloody, a sight too gruesome to bear.

　　"Hold on!"

　　The wound was already turning black, and if it wasn't treated soon, the yin energy would invade his body.

　　Lu Fei quickly took out some incense ash and sprinkled it on his wound to stop the yin energy.

　　"Huzi, go find some rice."

　　Huzi shouted at the nanny.

　　"Rice! Hurry, bring some rice over!"

　　The nannies scrambled around in a flap, and after a few minutes, they finally brought the rice over.

　　Lu Fei washed off the incense ash from Jing Jian's wound with water, then wrapped the rice with the Kegui character and applied it to the wound.

　　When the rice turned black, he swiftly replaced it with new rice.

　　Jing Jian was in such pain that he howled like a ghost and wailed like a wolf.

　　After repeating this process three or four times, the color of the rice finally stopped changing.

　　Lu Fei let out a sigh of relief and, after applying some golden sore medicine, bandaged the wound.

　　Jing Jian's face was completely devoid of color, drenched in cold sweat, panting heavily.

　　"Manager Lu, th-thanks."

　　"What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for you desperately protecting that big wolf dog just now, the one who might have been bitten could have been me," Lu Fei was actually quite surprised in his heart.

　　"Sigh, I, I wasn't trying to save you. It's mainly because I didn't want to give that pup a chance," Jing Jian shook his head weakly.

　　Lu Fei couldn't help but laugh in spite of himself.

　　He felt that this Jing Jian was actually quite a good person; it was just that his mouth was too tactless.

　　Seeing that there was nothing seriously wrong with him, Lu Fei went to check on the little monster and the big wolf dog again.

　　The yin energy had dissipated, and both of them were not breathing.

　　The fuzz on the little monster's head had faded away, and its features had changed, no longer looking as much like a dog.

　　A tiny ball, it looked very pitiful.

　　After settling his wife and asking the nanny to take good care of her, Jiang Hao returned to the nursery and stared at the child's body for a long time, his expression a mix of complexity and sorrow.

　　If it weren't for the influence of the shadow hound, this child would have been very cute, perhaps resembling Xiaoya...

　　He sighed heavily and wrapped the child in a cloth.

　　"Manager Lu, I owe you one today."

　　He expressed his deep gratitude.

　　"Brother Hao, you're too kind," Lu Fei said with a smile. "Actually, Brother Jing also helped a lot."

　　Jiang Hao glanced at Jing Jian.

　　With bandages on his arm, blood on his clothes, and torn pants, Jing Jian was a sight to see.

　　His expression softened somewhat, but he still did not acknowledge Jing Jian.

　　"Why did we encounter something like a shadow hound out of the blue?" He remained frowning and deeply worried, thinking about everything that had happened today, a chill ran down his spine.

　　If it weren't for Chen Jinfā helping him find Lù Fēi, his wife and child would have been lost.

　　"It depends on who or what the wife encountered during her pregnancy," said Lù Fēi.

　　Jiǎng Háo was still uneasy and asked Lù Fēi and the others to stay a bit longer, waiting until his wife woke up and the situation was clarified before they left.

　　As for Jīng Jiàn, although he didn't ask them to stay, he also didn't drive them away.

　　He even had the nanny make a meal for Jīng Jiàn when she was cooking.

　　Jīng Jiàn found a piece of cloth from somewhere and tied it around his waist, covering his buttocks, looking both comical and pitiful.

　　Late at night.

　　Xiǎo Yǎ finally woke up slowly.

　　"My child, my child..." she croaked, tears rolling down her pale cheeks one after another.

　　"Xiǎo Yǎ, don't be sad. We can have another child. Your health is the most important."

　　Jiang Hao held her and comforted her for a long time.

　　"Xiaoya, it's not our fault. The child was affected by something evil."

　　After his wife had calmed down a bit, he asked if she had encountered any strange people or events during her pregnancy.

　　Xiaoya leaned against her husband, thought for a moment, and then shook her head blankly.

　　"Hao, you know me. I've been at home nurturing the baby since I got pregnant. Apart from going shopping and walking the dog, I rarely go out... Who could I have offended?"

　　"Yeah, you've always been someone who doesn't like to argue with others. The problem definitely isn't on your side." Jiang Hao nodded, affectionately smoothing his wife's hair. He knew her character best.

　　Jing Jian snorted coldly, "Xiaoya is kind-hearted, even rescuing stray dogs on the street. It definitely isn't her. It's probably some people who did many evil deeds in the past and are now dragging Xiaoya into it."

　　"I did run with the wrong crowd when I was young, but I've been out of that life for years. If those people wanted to take revenge, there's no reason they would wait until now to act." Jiang Hao frowned.

　　"Sword Brother, actually, Hao is not that kind of person," Xiaoya said earnestly, looking up. "You just don't know him. He is a good person, just a bit rough on the surface."

　　Jing Jian was taken aback, then his expression turned somewhat sour, and he fell silent.

　　Chen Jinfu scratched his head and said, "If it wasn't because we offended someone, could it just be bad luck, and we accidentally ran into this?"

　　Jiang Hao and Xiaoya exchanged a glance, their expressions somber. Tears streamed down Xiaoya's face again.

　　Lu Fei thought for a moment and said, "Brother Hao, Mrs., think more about anything related to dogs. Was there anything unusual? A shadow dog is unlikely to have formed naturally; they are usually raised by humans."

　　"Dogs?" Xiaoya paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. With tears still on her face, she spoke forcefully, "Right, not long ago, I had a conflict with a dog dealer when I was trying to rescue a truckload of dogs. Does that count?"

　　"Tell us about it," Lu Fei nodded.

　　Xiaoya gathered her spirits and started to recall the incident.

　　"That day, I went shopping to buy things for the baby. On the way, I saw a small truck carrying dogs. There were many valuable breeds, but the truck was filthy."

　　"I guessed those dogs were stolen and were being sent for hotpot,"

　　"I couldn't bear to see that, so I asked the driver to go and ask how much they would sell them to me. But the dog dealer was unwilling, so I got out of the car and talked to him."

　　"He was very rude and even cursed at me. I got angry and called the police."

　　"But without evidence, the police couldn't do anything to him, and later he just..."

　　At this point, Xiaoya grabbed her husband's hand tightly, her voice beginning to tremble: "It was him, it was definitely him! Brother Hao, it must be him!"

　　"He pointed at my stomach and said something!"
