Chapter 299 The Spirit Fish 1

Xiao Ma burst out into laughter, “You don't need to worry about this . Little Ye is Zhou Jingru’s admi--” He caught Ye Shaoyang’s expression and quickly changed the words, “Ahem, best friend, best friend . I don't think those wealthy people will turn her down . ”

Zhu Zhongying looked astonished . She felt surprise about the special relationship between Ye Shaoyang and Zhou Jingru .

She added, “Besides, I heard Mr . Hu is not the big boss . A powerful sorcerer is behind him and he makes all the Kuman Thongs . However, he is more secretive than Mr . Hu . None of us have met him before . ”

Xiao Ma chuckled and wanted to say more but Ye Shaoyang stopped him and spoke to Zhu Zhongying, “Thank you for the clues . I will be more cautious in every step I take . I just need you to give me the contact number of Mr . Hu . ”

“Sure . Umm . . . Mr . Ye, is there any way for you to get back my Kuman Thong?”

Her request stunned Ye Shaoyang and the other two .

Zhuang Yuning rebuked her at once, “You are lucky to get rid of your Kuman Thong . Why do you want it back so desperately? And, what was your purpose of getting a Kuman Thong?”

“I am different from you, and I fed my Kuman Thong with normal food, so my Kuman Thong will not harm me . I must find it because… . can I just keep the reason to myself?” Zhu Zhongying pleaded to Ye Shaoyang .

“And you will tell me if I find your Kuman Thong?” Ye Shaoyang asked .

Zhuang Yuning shook her head, “No . I am sorry . I can do anything for you and Yuyu except for this . Please don’t force me to tell you . If Mr . Ye promises to find it for me, I am willing to give you a good pay as reward . I beg you, Mr . Ye . ”

Ye Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders helplessly . Since she had implored for him to find it, he could not reject her request . So, he nodded .

“Alright, but I need ten thousand, not for me, but for him,” said Ye Shaoyang as he pouted his lips at Xiao Ma .

Xiao Ma’s eyes beamed with joy once he heard he would earn another large sum of money . He smiled, “Don’t worry . You can count on me . ”

At the same time, someone knocked on her room door . Mr . Zhu came in with a bowl of noodles after getting Zhu Zhongying approval . He handed the noodles to her, turned around, and spoke to Ye Shaoyang and the other two, “Sorry for the bad service . I have booked a restaurant for our lunch as an appreciation for saving my daughter . ”

Then, he left the room .

Zhu Zhongying gulped down a mouthful of soup; a satisfied look appeared on her face, “Finally, I can taste Aunty Cui’s delicious shredded meat noodles . ”

Ye Shaoyang did not crave for noodles as he just had his breakfast not long ago . He thought for a while and asked, “I can help you to find your Kuman Thong, but it is difficult for me to find it without any clues . Do you have anything that is related to it?”

Zhu Zhongying pondered for a moment before she answered, “Before I threw away my Kuman Thong, I realized it was empty inside the puppet except a few pieces of shining stuff . I kept it; not sure if this is useful to you . ”

“Can you show me, please?”

“Okay, but can I finish up my noodles first? I am starving . ”

Then, Zhu Zhongying hurriedly finished the noodles and led them to the room next door . Turning over a few boxes and trunks, she finally found a jewelry case and opened it in front of them:

Inside the box laid a few slightly curved, thin slices . Just as Zhu Zhongying had said, the slices glowed a fluorescent blue .

Ye Shaoyang laughed happily once he saw the slices, “Great . We can easily locate your Kuman Thong now . ”

”What are these?” Everyone cast a look of wonder at Ye Shaoyang .

“These are spirit nails . They look like this when they are kept in the mortal world . ” Ye Shaoyang handed each slice to Zhuang Yuning and Xiao Ma . The two studied the nails curiously .

“Why would the spirit nails be kept in my Kuman Thong?” Zhu Zhongying wondered .

“Spirits change nails every six months, like how a silkworm exuviates . The nails can be used to make potions, and they are very valuable in the Underworld Market . ” As Ye Shaoyang spoke, he picked up a slice of nail and sensed it with his Gang Qi . He sensed that the nail had a thin layer of pure Spirit Qi, which indicated that the spirit cultivated in the righteous way .

Then, Ye Shaoyang asked Zhu Zhongying for a few more details before he asked her to wait at the house and left .

While Zhu Zhongying sent them out, they met Mr . Zhu .

Mr . Zhu thanked Ye Shaoyang again and insisted on buying him a meal, but Ye Shaoyang turned him down with an excuse of rushing for another job . Before he left, he gave Mr . Zhu his bank account and reminded him to bank in only thirty thousand Yuan . Mr . Zhu nodded and thanked him again .

“Why did Xiaoying insist on getting back her Kuman Thong?” Zhuang Yuning started the engine and asked Ye Shaoyang, “Besides, why would she need a Kuman Thong? She comes from a wealthy family and does not plan to become a celebrity . ”

Ye Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know . You can ask her in the future if you are really curious about that . I have no interest in knowing about it . I just need to help her find the Kuman Thong and solve this case . ”

“Where are going to find it?”

Ye Shaoyang instructed Xiao Ma to use his cell phone to search for the location where Zhu Zhongying abandoned her Kuman Thong, and set a five kilometers radius in the map while he checked on the place names nearby . His eyes suddenly caught on the words, ‘Children Amusement Park’ on the map . It was about one kilometer away from the place where Zhu Zhongying abandoned it .

“This, the Children Amusement Park . But, we will go there at night . We can go back to your house and settle the things in your garden . ” Before Zhuang Yuning headed back to her house, Ye Shaoyang asked for her to stop by a farm tools shop and buy two flat spades with sharp ends . He handed them to Xiao Ma, and she drove them back to her house .

“Oh yeah,” Ye Shaoyang suddenly thought of something . He turned around and asked Xiao Ma, “Just now, when you were trying to deceive Mr . Zhu, how did you know the University of ‘Penn’ has a computer engineering course?”

Xiao Ma chuckled and answered proudly, “It is the University of Pennsylvania . The first computer in the world was born there, and it was known as ENIAC . I learned and remembered the history of computers quite well when I attended the computer class since I was young . This thing struck my mind when Mr . Zhu asked . ”

Ye Shaoyang and Zhuang Yuning exchanged a look and smiled .

“How about you,” asked Zhuang Yuning, “How did you find out Xiaoying was disturbed by a spirit before you met her?”

“Initially, I did not know there was a spirit disturbing her . But I sensed Spirit Qi once I stepped into the house and after I saw the Fengshui arrangement in the house . At that time, I was sure that there was a spirit haunting the house . If not Xiaoying, then who?”
