Lei Jie suddenly felt that he was really a fool. He had so easily trusted this demon just because it never harmed him while he was growing up, even helping it arouse his sister's suspicion of their father, placing the potion of the chaotic spirit by his sister's bedside, and dragging his mother up the mountain early in the morning to gather herbs... Fortunately, he became uneasy and ran back earlier; otherwise, his grandmother would have already been thrown into the well.
Lei Xia suddenly stopped, looked straight at Lei Jie, and laughed: "Jie Jie, Third Uncle treats you so well, you should be helping him. Your father is no good; Third Uncle was harmed by him when he was a child. Your grandmother too—didn't I just take a piece of Xia Xia's soul? And they lock me up for such a small thing? Isn't that too much? Come, bring them to me!"
His sister had been controlled! Realizing this, Lei Jie's small hands dragged his grandmother backward, his eyes full of fear, yet holding onto a bit of hope, shouting: "Sister, wake up! Don't be fooled! Sister, wake up!" Lei Xia kept getting closer. After drawing his grandmother some distance back, seeing his father fall behind, Lei Jie ran to drag him along as well. Seeing Lei Xia getting closer step by step, tears rushed to Lei Jie's eyes, yet he was powerless, only able to hold his father and watch her approach.
Suddenly, Lei Xia's body froze, and Grandmother and Second Uncle quickly rose from the ground. Lei Jie was stunned by the turn of events, looking at his mother behind Lei Xia and asking: "Mom... what are you doing?"
Auntie shot Lei Jie a sharp glance and snorted coldly: "Brat! We'll settle this later!"
The three seemed to each hold an invisible rope, firmly pulling Lei Xia who stood in the middle. Grandmother nodded at her son and daughter-in-law, and they took out small knives, cutting small slits in their wrists where they held the ropes. The blood seemed to be drawn into blood lines that wrapped around Lei Xia, forming a large talisman that enveloped her.
In the room, Lei Xia lay on the bed tightly bound by the talisman, with Grandmother sitting at the bedside taking care of her. Lei Jie knelt on the ground covering his ears, being scolded head-on by his parents.
Grandmother sighed: "Enough. He's still young. It's not surprising that he was bewitched by that thing. Xia Xia was also bewitched, wasn't she? Stop scolding him!"
"Grandmother, Xia Xia was just missing a piece of her soul as a child, which made her spiritual power unstable and easy to be bewitched. This brat isn't missing anything! If he can be tricked by a demon, how can he be the heir of the Lei family!" Auntie said, glaring at Lei Jie harshly again, making him shrink his neck frightened.
