The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 332 - Chapter 332 Chapter 332 Half-Human Half-Corpse

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Half-Human Half-Corpse Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Half-Human Half-Corpse Zhong Niangyao instantly realized that they refrained from harming Zhang Jing out of fear of retribution.

However, the situation definitely wasn’t that simple. Otherwise, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling wouldn’t have come looking for help again.

Father Ling continued to narrate the events.

They had encountered Master Zixiao and were very pleased. Moreover, Master Zixiao did not ask for any compensation, which only further convinced them that they were dealing with a genuine Heavenly Master.

Master Zixiao gave them a pill, which, upon consumption by Ling Chao, would create the illusion of death so that he could proceed with the ritual to deceive the female ghost.

After achieving her revenge, the female ghost would reincarnate. Once she had reincarnated, the crisis surrounding Ling Chao would end, and he would wake up once more.

Trusting Master Zixiao completely and devoid of other options, they eventually administered the Fake Death Medicine to Ling Chao.

The subsequent events unfolded smoothly; the female ghost, believing Ling Chao to be dead, reincarnated.

After the crisis was resolved, Ling Chao woke up. They even took him to the hospital for a full check-up and found nothing amiss, which finally put their hearts at ease.

However, Ling Chao’s behavior soon became very strange.

He stopped going out and spent all his days locked inside his room. Occasionally, his eyes would emit a green glow, creating a particularly sinister appearance.

Even more unsettling, last night, they arose and shockingly found Ling Chao opening the refrigerator and eating raw, bloody meat directly from it.

Upon noticing them, Ling Chao even flashed them an eerily creepy smile. Even now, the memory of last night’s smile sent shivers down their spines.

They were terrified and didn’t know what to do, so they thought of Zhong Niangyao.

After extensive inquiries, they finally located where Zhong Niangyao lived.

They had actually arrived quite early, but were informed that Zhong Niangyao had gone out and not yet returned. They felt it was inappropriate to wait at the Zhong Family’s house and soon left.

However, upon leaving, they were too afraid to return home and risk encountering Ling Chao, eventually resorting to waiting outside the door.

Upon seeing Zhong Niangyao appear, they rushed forward immediately.

After listening to the narration from Father Ling and Mrs. Ling, the expressions on Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen’s faces turned grave.

“The target of Master Zixiao isn’t Zhang Jing,” Zhong Niangyao’s eyes darkened slightly, “His real target, I’m afraid, is–”

“Ling Chao!” Lu Yichen interjected.

Hearing this, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling immediately became anxious and pressed for answers, “What do you mean by this? What exactly is going on with Ling Chao? He was supposed to have escaped this calamity, so why has he changed like this? Is Master Zixiao trying to harm Ling Chao?”

Zhong Niangyao looked solemn, “The situation remains unclear; we need to see him in person to understand.”

With that, Zhong Niangyao, despite having reached the gate, did not enter but instead accompanied Lu Yichen in the car headed towards the Ling Family’s home.

Father Ling and Mrs. Ling hurried back home, filled with regret.

In the car–

Zhong Niangyao looked at Lu Yichen, her expression still grave, “What do you think about Ling Chao?”

“That so-called Master Zixiao’s target is clearly Ling Chao,” Lu Yichen’s gaze dimmed, “According to what the Ling Family’s parents said, Ling Chao probably can’t be considered a real human anymore.”

“Yes,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “If what they said is true, then Ling Chao is likely in a state between human and corpse. However, to understand the true purpose of Master Zixiao, we probably need to see the person involved.”

Soon, the group arrived at the Ling Family’s residence.

Upon entering, they were greeted by utter darkness.

“What’s going on here?” Father Ling fumbled for the light switch, complaining discontentedly, “What’s with Sister-in-law Wu? We haven’t returned yet, and she’s already turned off the lights.”

“That Sister-in-law Wu, taking advantage of being an old hand in our house, has really become slack,” Mrs. Ling similarly expressed her displeasure, “We’ll definitely have to speak to her tomorrow. If this continues, we’re really going to have to replace her.”

But only Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, amidst the darkness, exchanged a glance, both secretly sensing something was amiss. As soon as they entered, they smelled a strong scent of blood.

While Father Ling and Mrs. Ling were still searching for the switch, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao had already moved toward the source of the blood scent.

Father Ling and Mrs. Ling hardly understood what was happening and quickly followed them after finding the switch.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao hurried into the kitchen where, aided by the dim light filtering in from outside, they saw a body lying in a pool of blood and another figure bent over, gnawing on it.

The gnawing figure seemed to have noticed the arrival of Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao. He looked up and curved his lips into a stiff, eerie smile, with a green gleam in his eyes that in the darkness appeared utterly terrifying.

“Ah–”

The screams came from Father Ling and Mrs. Ling who had just entered the kitchen after following Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao and were confronted with this horrifying scene.

Then, they realized an even more terrifying fact: the figure covered in blood was none other than their son, Ling Chao.

Ling Chao stood up, his movements very stiff. His neck twisted awkwardly, his mouth still dripping with blood from the body in the blood pool, and blood also dripped from his hands onto the floor. His whole demeanor resembled that of a zombie as he started moving towards Zhong Niangyao and the others.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao maintained their composure, glancing at the figure lying in the blood pool without rushing forward; they had realized upon arriving that the person was already dead.

Watching their son approach, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling felt an urge to flee the scene, but their legs seemed as if filled with lead, unable to lift, let alone escape.

As Ling Chao neared, his movements suddenly quickened. Raising his hand, his sharp fingertips shimmered with a cold light, reaching directly towards Zhong Niangyao in a clawing motion, seemingly intending to tear her apart.
