The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 333 - Chapter 333 Chapter 333 Living Corpse

Chapter 333: Chapter 333 Living Corpse Chapter 333: Chapter 333 Living Corpse Just as Ling Chao’s hand was about to touch Zhong Niangyao, another hand directly grabbed Ling Chao’s hand, and then with a twist, there was a sound of a “crack.”

Ling Chao’s hand twisted into a strange posture, which looked painfully contorted.

But Ling Chao, as if he felt nothing, reached out with his other hand and attacked Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao again.

The one who had just pulled Ling Chao’s hand was none other than Lu Yichen, who directly kicked Ling Chao in the abdomen.

Ling Chao was kicked away, slamming against the wall before coming to a halt, collapsing to the ground.

Seeing their son being kicked away, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling felt heartbroken. But seeing Ling Chao in such a terrifying state, they didn’t dare approach.

Before Ling Chao could get up, Zhong Niangyao had already stepped forward quickly, and directly placed a piece of talisman paper on Ling Chao’s forehead.

In an instant, Ling Chao was immobilized as if sealed, unable to move. However, the ferocious green light flickering in his rotating eyes indicated he was still conscious, simply restricted in movement.

“What’s the situation with Ling Chao now?” Father Ling asked, gathering his courage.

“For now, take him back to his room,” Zhong Niangyao directed, pointing at the completely immobilized Ling Chao, speaking straightforwardly. “As for everything else, we’ll talk about it later.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling made no move, looking at Ling Chao, neither daring to step forward.

They knew he was their son, but they still didn’t have the courage to approach him, especially considering Ling Chao’s current abnormal appearance. Just moments ago, they had witnessed Ling Chao gnawing on human flesh. They truly feared if they approached, they might be indiscriminately attacked by Ling Chao, and that would truly be a tragic outcome. They didn’t believe they had the ability to escape like Zhong Niangyao.

Zhong Niangyao frowned and looked at Father Ling and Mrs. Ling, her tone now containing a hint of impatience, “Quickly now! What are you spacing out for?”

“We… We’re afraid!” Mrs. Ling’s voice carried a tinge of fear. “Will he attack us?”

Having seen the condition of Sister-in-law Wu, they were even more afraid to approach Ling Chao. Even if he was their own blood, they were terrified! And after all, it was only a small piece of talisman paper on his forehead, flapping in the wind as if it could fall off at any moment–they truly did not dare!

“Then let him stay there,” Zhong Niangyao said, turning her head to look at Lu Yichen. “It’s getting late, we should go back. If it’s too late, Grandfather and Grandmother will worry.”

Lu Yichen said nothing, turned side by side with Zhong Niangyao, and they prepared to leave.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s actions, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling became anxious, quickly stepping forward to block Zhong Niangyao’s way, pleading, “Lady Zhong, you can’t leave at this time!”

“Yes, yes! If you leave, what will we do? Ling Chao has already lost his reason; he could kill us.”

“Do you want to move him or not?” Zhong Niangyao crossed her arms over her chest, her attitude one of indifference, “Besides if you don’t move him, then we’re leaving. After all, you insisted on keeping Ling Chao in this world, which was already against the will of heaven. If you’re suffering retribution now, it’s your problem, not mine!”

“We’ll move him, we’ll do it right now.”

Father Ling and Mrs. Ling didn’t dare delay any longer and immediately moved Ling Chao back to his room.

They absolutely couldn’t let Zhong Niangyao leave–deep down, they were clear that if Zhong Niangyao left, no one could control Ling Chao, and they feared they would be on the path to death.

While Father Ling and Mrs. Ling returned Ling Chao to his room, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao had already reached the front of the pool of blood, squatted down, and looked at the person lying there.

Zhong Niangyao shook her head, sighing helplessly, “It’s a pity for a life to be lost.”

Although she knew the moment she arrived that this person was dead beyond doubt, now, actually seeing the tragic state of the person’s death, she still felt somewhat unwilling to accept it.

“This was her destined calamity,” Lu Yichen said with a calm tone. “Even if it wasn’t Ling Chao, she would have faced some other disaster. None of this has anything to do with you; there’s no need to be too concerned.”

Hearing Lu Yichen’s comforting words, Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “You’re overthinking it; I’m not someone with an overabundance of sympathy. While I think she is pitiable, I’ve never considered it my responsibility. I just feel a little regret, that’s all.”

Lu Yichen gave Zhong Niangyao a long look, and upon realizing she wasn’t lying, he averted his gaze, “Considering the current situation, Ling Chao is no longer human.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, “Originally, there was still a glimmer of humanity left in him, but now that he has tasted blood, that last bit of humanity has also vanished.”

“It seems Ling Chao has turned into a living corpse,” Lu Yichen said with furrowed brows. “It appears to be the work of an Evil Cultivator, who likely exploited the Ling Family’s desperate wish to save Ling Chao from this crisis as part of his design.”

“The Ling Family truly suffered a loss this time,” Zhong Niangyao said with a mocking smile. “They intended to save Ling Chao from this mortal crisis. Now, Ling Chao might as well have been better off dead.”

“However, we can’t jump to conclusions just yet; we still need to know his date and time of birth.”

After a moment, in the Ling Family living room–

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao were sitting on one side, both in casual postures that seemed relaxed. However, their expressions were solemn, leaving one to guess what they were thinking.

On the other side sat Father Ling and Mrs. Ling, their bodies tense, sitting up straight with nervousness and fear clearly written on their faces. Even now, their complexions were still deathly pale.

Just moments ago, as they carried Ling Chao back to his room, the whole process was wrought with caution, and they dared not breathe too heavily. A mere flutter of the talisman paper in the wind had them on edge, terrified that it might fall off.

And this was only the first time; they couldn’t imagine if they had to live on such thin ice every day, how much longer they could endure.

“Ling Chao’s date and time of birth. Speak up now,” Zhong Niangyao was the first to speak.
