The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 302 - Chapter 302 Chapter 302 To Vent the Bitterness in Ones Heart

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: To Vent the Bitterness in One’s Heart Chapter 302: Chapter 302: To Vent the Bitterness in One’s Heart The members of the Zhu Family didn’t dare to do anything, only trembling as they hid not far away.

Although Master Sanqing had come to help them, now that they faced trouble, they only dared to hide on the sidelines. Even after Master Sanqing fell into danger, they didn’t show a trace of sympathy, instead resenting in their hearts that Master Sanqing’s abilities were insufficient, leading to the current situation.

They were even more worried that, after dealing with Master Sanqing, the Five Ghosts would come for their lives.

Just as the Five Ghosts were about to pounce on Master Sanqing and begin tearing at his soul, a golden light suddenly appeared, shocking and repelling the Five Ghosts.

Due to that flash of golden light, the Five Ghosts had suffered some minor injuries.

Master Sanqing breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately looked in Zhong Nianyao’s direction.

At this time, the only person who could save him was definitely Zhong Nianyao. Had it not been for Zhong Nianyao’s intervention, his soul would have likely been torn apart by the Five Ghosts by now.

The Five Ghosts also noticed the presence of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao.

Just now, they had finally broken free from their restraints, eager only to seek revenge on that stinking Taoist and had not noticed the two. Now that the woman had made her move, it naturally drew their attention.

“Was it you who just saved this old Taoist?” the leading Wealth Ghost fiercely glared at Zhong Nianyao, its eyes nearly bleeding red, “Have you also come to collect us?”

“No,” Zhong Nianyao shook her head honestly.

Such an unexpected reply stunned the Five Ghosts.

That streak of golden light was sufficient for them to feel the strength of Zhong Nianyao. Moreover, they found Lu Yichen standing next to her to be deeply intimidating.

Just the two of them standing there was enough to make them prepare for a serious confrontation. They were all ready to engage in a fierce battle. However, such a denial from the other party had caught them off guard.

“Are you playing us?” The Wealth Ghost quickly snapped out of it, looking at Zhong Nianyao with an even more grim gaze, as if it would pounce on her at any moment, “We will kill you now.”

“I’m not playing you.”

In stark contrast to the fierce expression of the Wealth Ghost, Zhong Nianyao was exceptionally calm, “The transaction with the Zhu Family was broken by them first, your retaliation came after, and there is nothing wrong with that.”

Hearing Zhong Nianyao’s words, the Five Ghosts showed no emotion; their gaze towards her was one of wariness and scorn. Obviously, they did not believe what Zhong Nianyao said.

“If you do not intend to intervene, then leave quickly,” the leading Wealth Ghost spoke outright, “Otherwise, even if it means a fight to the death, we will not let you off easily today.”

“You can punish the people of the Zhu Family if you want, but is it really worth it to commit murder for such treacherous people?” Zhong Nianyao turned to the Five Ghosts, “You are already but one step from the Path of Reincarnation. If you truly kill the members of the Zhu Family and stain your hands with blood, then you will truly fall into eternal damnation.”

“We are now already beyond the possibility of reincarnation,” the Lu Ghost stepped forward, eyes streaming with blood, which presented a chilling and terrifying vision, “As long as the Zhu Family continued to perform good deeds and accumulate virtue, we would have been able to reincarnate in a few decades, and even be reborn into a good life. Now, everything is ruined.”

“The wealth and status of three generations of the Zhu Family was all our doing, yet they betrayed us,” the Official Ghost’s face was exceptionally ferocious, “Even killing them won’t quench the hatred in our hearts.”

“Even if you don’t kill them, they won’t have an easy time,” Zhong Nianyao shook her head, “All the wealth in their household will soon dissipate. Having enjoyed so many years of luxury, plunging them into poverty will be far more painful than death.”

“Moreover, because of the backlash, Zhu Yu’s body is already on the brink of collapse, and he will soon pass away. And his descendants will be plagued not only by poverty but also by illness. Furthermore, they are about to be eradicated from progeny. They will suffer the punishment they deserve. For their sake, to forfeit your souls, is it worth it?”

“I want to kill them to release the hatred in my heart,” the Wealth Ghost gritted its teeth, “We used unorthodox methods to transfer wealth to them, which was always against the Heavenly Dao. If they continued to perform good deeds, we could avoid punishment and accumulate merit.”

“Now they waste it wantonly while we face punishment and are barred from the Path of Reincarnation. Is it fair to us if we don’t kill these people?”

After hearing the Wealth Ghost’s words, a flicker of comprehension crossed Zhong Nianyao’s eyes.

It seemed she had underestimated the situation; no wonder the resentment of these Five Ghosts was so heavy!

The Five Ghosts Wealth Transporting Technique wasn’t exactly an orthodox Magic to begin with, belonging to a crooked path. Since shortcuts were taken, consequences must be faced. Normally, good deeds and virtues could offset each other and accumulate Merit.

However, because the Zhu Family failed to counterbalance with good deeds, the Five Ghosts suffered punishment from the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the Zhu Family harmed many people with their power. As the entities that transferred wealth to the Zhu Family, the Five Ghosts were essentially accomplices, thus facing even harsher punishment. With this, the Reincarnation Path of the Five Ghosts was completely blocked. No wonder they were so full of resentment, determined to kill the people of the Zhu Family!

Master Sanqing, having sustained injuries, fell into deep contemplation after hearing the Wealth Ghost’s words.

At this moment, he too began to wonder, was it wrong from the start to help the Zhu Family?

“Master, please save us!”

Zhu Yu, also frightened, used all his strength to approach Zhong Nianyao, falling to his knees before her and pleading, “Please save us, we don’t want to die here! I will donate, I will donate all my family’s wealth right now, as long as you save us.”

With the situation having reached this point, and the Five Ghosts looking like they wanted to devour them alive, he was truly scared. Now, for him, it was most important to save his life; wealth was something you needed to be alive to enjoy!

It is no concern to have no firewood so long as the green hills last.

If he died now, he would truly have nothing left. Moreover, if all the Zhu Family descendants died here, the Zhu Family would truly cease to exist. In the future, they wouldn’t even have someone to offer them sacrifices.

Seeing Zhu Yu’s behavior, the other members of the Zhu Family also began to plead with Zhong Nianyao one after another.
