This Southeast Asian dark witchcraft could slow aging and preserve youthfulness, but it required rare fetal blood.
Fetal blood was expensive and extremely difficult to obtain, yet this Southeast Asian dark magic was so effective that Violet became instantly addicted to it. It was at this time that Violet became pregnant.
Originally, she hadn't intended to keep the child. She secretly aborted it behind her boyfriend's back, planning to use her own child's blood to preserve her youth.
When her boyfriend discovered this, he called her cold-blooded and threatened to expose her to the media, to show the world what kind of evil person Violet truly was.
Violet wept and admitted her wrongdoing, even kneeling to beg her boyfriend's forgiveness - all to no avail. Her boyfriend was determined to expose her, seeking vengeance for their unborn child. Violet's actions were simply too selfish, too cruel for him to accept.
Violet was no pushover either. With her heart set on revenge, she seduced her boyfriend, then removed his internal organs to refine them into this extremely sinister Five Elements Feng Shui array.
"You want to expose me? Then I'll make sure you suffer forever. Even as a ghost, the agony of having your heart and lungs torn out will haunt you eternally." This was the cruelest aspect of the Five Elements Feng Shui Formation.
Violet had learned this formation from an entertainment industry master years before. She never expected to use it one day - let alone on her own boyfriend.
There were many so-called "masters" in show business, but few possessed real power. Most were just frauds looking to profit from the industry's wealth and beautiful women. Violet was fortunate to have encountered a genuine master.
After completing the Five Elements Feng Shui Formation, Violet's career skyrocketed like an airplane taking off. Within just a few years, she hit the big time and became a top-tier superstar.
But just then, her boyfriend's ghost appeared. He began haunting Violet in this very villa. While he couldn't kill her or even speak, he tormented her with nightly nightmares, depriving her of peace and sleep.
Violet wanted to have him banished, but if the ghost were destroyed, the Five Elements Feng Shui Formation would break as well. That's when Violet thought of Gods and Ghosts Tattoos. Unfortunately, my grandfather had long since retired to his hometown, and no one knew how many years the tattoo parlor had been closed.
Until the day Violet met Stein and me. She knew her chance to be rid of her boyfriend's ghost had finally come. So she fabricated her story and got the Exorcism Ghost tattoo.
The exorcism effect of the Gods and Ghosts Tattoo was truly powerful. Now her boyfriend's ghost didn't even dare to come near her anymore. The moment he approached, a red lotus would blossom forth with a ghostly face on it, terrifying him into immediate retreat. He never dared to appear again.
"Well, I have to thank you for this! Otherwise, my poor boyfriend would still be haunting me day and night. Do you know how terrifying that is? When you're looking in the mirror and suddenly there's a ghost standing behind you, just standing there silently... I was so sick of it!"
"I can't even move houses, or this Five Elements Feng Shui formation would be ruined. But I couldn't get rid of him either - he was determined to take revenge and torment me!"
"Haha, fortunately you gave me this Red Lotus Yaksha tattoo. It's perfect."
Violet finished her story in one breath, then took another sip from her cup of blood. She licked her lips - the action was sensual and seductive, but it made me shiver.
What difference was there between this woman and a wild beast? Drinking her own child's blood, murdering her boyfriend and using his organs to create that vicious array - all to advance her career.
A goddess? More like a female demon! Had I known the truth, I would never have given her that tattoo. She knew this perfectly well, which was why she fabricated that story to trick me.
"What, after hearing my story, do you plan to expose me?" Violet showed no panic, only a wry smile.
"Damn right we will! You killed someone. If we don't expose you, who will? The body's right there in the water tank. The police will find all the evidence when they come," Stein shouted, jumping to his feet.
"Oh really?" Violet suddenly set down her cup and slipped her nightgown off her shoulders, revealing her scantily clad figure before us.
"What do you mean by this?"
We hadn't expected this sudden move from Violet. Both of us were completely bewildered.
Violet presented two options: First, she would be ours tonight, but we would pretend we'd seen nothing. She would give us a large sum of money, and we would leave the city forever. Second, if we refused, she would call the police and accuse us of breaking in and assaulting her. Who would they believe - a famous star or us? By the time we were released, she would have long since moved the body, leaving no evidence to convict her.
This woman wasn't just ruthless - she was cunning. She hadn't risen to fame through that array alone.
Her offer was tempting. If we compromised, we could have the screen goddess herself - the dream of countless men - plus money. It was a heavenly deal.
If we didn't agree, we would be at a complete disadvantage, with no way to bring her down.
Stein immediately lost his composure. He wavered and looked at me, hoping I would make the decision.
I laughed coldly. Trying to intimidate me wasn't so easy. Wealth and lust were important to me, but not enough to make me sell my conscience.
Every gentleman admires a fair lady - who doesn't like beautiful women? But a devil like Violet? I wouldn't dare touch her. Who knew when I might end up like her boyfriend?
"Hmph, then we just won't let you raise the alarm. If we tie you two up first and report the corpse to the authorities, how would you explain your way out of that lie?" I said.
"Oh? Is that so? Then go ahead and try." Violet showed no fear of us at all, which was strange. Between the two women - not counting Stein - I could handle them alone. What gave her such confidence?
Whatever. To hell with it. Let's tie her up first and figure things out later.
As Stein and I slowly approached her, the bitch suddenly pulled out a gun from under the sofa cushion and pointed the black muzzle at us.
I never imagined a big star like her would dare to keep a gun in her house. That was illegal.
"Real gun or fake gun?"
"You're welcome to test it!"
"Then I bet yours is fake!"
I took a step forward, and suddenly - BANG! A bullet struck the floor beside my foot.
It was real!
I froze in terror, not daring to move again, lest this crazy bitch decided to put the next bullet in me.
"Oh, you refuse the path to heaven and choose to break through hell's gate instead. Now that the gun's out, if I don't kill you both, I'll be in trouble. But I won't kill you right away - I want to remove your internal organs to refine another Five Elements Feng Shui Formation in my other mansion," Violet said viciously.
We were done for. We'd provoked this female demon, and now she wanted to kill us to refine her formation!
