The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 315 - Chapter 315 Chapter 315 A Piece of Darkness

Chapter 315: Chapter 315 A Piece of Darkness Chapter 315: Chapter 315 A Piece of Darkness “This is where you lost your soul,” Zhong Niangyao’s indifferent voice rang out. “What? Haven’t woken up yet?”

At the sound of such cold words, Zhao Xuanglang shuddered and fully came to his senses, leaping up as if he were a carp flipping in the water.

It was then that he noticed Liu Zihang was also here.

“Zihang, what are you doing here?” Zhao Xuanglang asked in surprise. “And, isn’t this where we saved that child yesterday?”

“Xiao Lang, how are you feeling now?” Mrs. Zhao stepped forward, checking Zhao Xuanglang up and down. “Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

“I–” Zhao Xuanglang had just begun to speak when Mr. Zhao smacked him on the head.

Seeing Zhao Xuanglang bouncing around energetically, Mr. Zhao knew for sure he was fine. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward, raised his hand, and smacked Zhao Xuanglang’s head.

“Dad, what are you doing?” Zhao Xuanglang touched his head, beginning to speak with a hint of grievance. “I didn’t do anything! Why did you hit me?”

“You little brat have the nerve.” Mr. Zhao said sternly. “Didn’t Nianyao tell you before to stay away from water? You’ve got a lot of guts! Not only did you lose your soul, if it weren’t for Nianyao, you would have lost your life too.”

“What!”

Zhao Xuanglang was truly scared now. He quickly looked at Zhong Niangyao, “Boss, I lost my soul?”

“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao nodded. “You were probably targeted when you went into the water yesterday. Where is your peace charm?”

Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhao Xuanglang was stunned. He reached for his neck and discovered that the small pouch that should have contained the peace charm was empty! It only held a pinch of ash.

He had been keeping the peace charm Zhong Niangyao gave him in a small waterproof pouch, and he never dared take it off, even when showering.

Especially since Zhong Niangyao had warned him that he would have a trial to face during the summer break, he had been extra cautious, never removing the charm. He had no idea when it had turned to ash.

Suddenly, he remembered that his chest felt warm when he went into the water to save someone yesterday. He was so preoccupied with the rescue that he didn’t pay it any mind at the time. Could it be–

At this thought, Zhao Xuanglang couldn’t help but shiver.

“What you saved yesterday wasn’t human,” Zhong Niangyao said flatly. “At that time, the peace charm already blocked one attack for you. But it seems like the ghost has taken a liking to you!”

“Huh?” Zhao Xuanglang felt no pride in this. His face fell and he almost wanted to cling to Zhong Niangyao’s leg. “Boss, you have to help me! I’m still young and I don’t want to die!”

Being targeted by a ghost sounded terrifying no matter how it was worded. Especially since this ghost had failed to harm him during the daytime but came again at night. Did that mean that even if the boss saved him this time, he could still be targeted and have his soul hooked away again in the future?

Suddenly, Zhao Xuanglang felt his life was shrouded in darkness.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were also very anxious, knowing their son was targeted by an Evil Ghost, how could they not worry!

“So today, we have to resolve this matter.”

Zhong Niangyao’s gaze landed on the pool as she took out a piece of talisman paper from her bag and threw it toward the pond.

Though it was only a light piece of paper, it flew to the surface of the pond, then spontaneously combusted into ash that fell into the water.

Meanwhile, Zhong Niangyao’s hands formed a Seal, and she chanted a spell, “Mighty and bright, rising sun from the east, I hereby bestow the Spirit Talisman, sweeping away all misfortune, spewing the fire of mountain ranges, the talisman harnesses the light of portal, rooting out strange throughout the heavens, overcoming plague with enduring strength, subduing demons and the dead, transforming them into auspiciousness, Great Supreme Elder Lord, may it be enduring and binding by thy decree.”

Before long, the previously calm pool began to boil and emit plumes of steam, resembling boiling water.

All eyes were fixed on the pond, hearts suspended in anticipation.

Liu Zihang had never encountered such a thing, and he felt frightened, so without realizing it, he moved closer to Zhao Xuanglang.

Zhao Xuanglang, who was already nervous, jumped when someone suddenly moved closer, but after seeing who it was, he rolled his eyes, “What are you doing! Don’t you know scaring people like that could be deadly?”

“I’m scared!” Liu Zihang wasn’t upset, even reaching out to grab Zhao Xuanglang’s sleeve. “I feel safer by your side. We’re all brothers, you wouldn’t be so petty, right?”

“Are you sure?” Zhao Xuanglang’s face had a strange expression. “Didn’t you hear? I’m the target of that ghost now. Aren’t you afraid of being affected by staying so close?”

No sooner had he said this than Liu Zihang immediately let go of Zhao Xuanglang’s sleeve and moved several steps away, ending up several meters from Zhao Xuanglang.

Seeing Liu Zihang’s action, Zhao Xuanglang felt somewhat speechless. He looked at Liu Zihang and directly spoke up, “Weren’t we brothers just a moment ago? Does brotherhood have an expiration date?”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Zihang’s face, “Haha, please understand! I have never encountered such a supernatural event before; of course, I’m scared.”

Zhao Xuanglang was just making casual talk and didn’t mean anything else. He stopped looking at Liu Zihang and turned his attention back to the pool.

Everyone was ready, feeling they could handle whatever form of Evil Ghost might emerge from the pool.

As everyone watched, the smoke above the pond gradually dissipated, and a black mist slowly rose from the water, then settled onto the grass by the pond. As the black mist cleared, a small figure appeared before everyone.

When they saw the figure, they were all stunned.

“This… this is the Evil Ghost?” Liu Zihang pointed to the small figure, his voice filled with doubt, “Are you sure? Could there be a mistake?”

“Uh–” Zhao Xuanglang’s voice also carried a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, “This… probably… maybe… should be, I guess?”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao also looked confused.

Even Zhong Niangyao paused when she saw the small figure, her eyebrows slightly furrowing, but she quickly regained composure, “Are you the one causing trouble? Did you take away Zhao Xuanglang’s Three Souls?”
