The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 334 - Chapter 334 Chapter 334 Double Pain

Chapter 334: Chapter 334 Double Pain Chapter 334: Chapter 334 Double Pain After hearing what Zhong Niangyao had said, Mrs. Ling dared not hesitate any longer, and after recalling for a moment, she immediately revealed Ling Chao’s date and time of birth.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of understanding flashed in the depths of Zhong Niangyao’s eyes.

“It’s as I thought,” Zhong Niangyao sighed helplessly. “It seems the matter is already decided, it’s just uncertain whether that Evil Cultivator can be captured.”

“What exactly is going on?” Father Ling asked anxiously. “What has happened to Ling Chao?”

“The current Ling Chao is no longer human,” Zhong Niangyao explained directly. “To be precise, he has been turned into a living corpse.”

“What?” Father Ling exclaimed in shock. “What is a living corpse? And how can we save him?”

Although they were frightened by Ling Chao’s current appearance, in their heart, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling had never thought of giving up on their son; otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to find someone to deal with the female ghost and save Ling Chao.

“Lady Zhong, please, save him!” Mrs. Ling pleaded desperately. “He is our only son, if something happens to him, we wouldn’t know what to do.”

“It’s already too late to save him now,” Zhong Niangyao said, spreading her hands. “As I mentioned earlier, Ling Chao can no longer be considered human. His thoughts, his spirit, have been completely corroded. Now, he is nothing but a killing machine devoid of any emotions.”

“But… but…” Mrs. Ling unwillingly accepted this reality. “Aside from losing his senses, he’s still perfectly fine! If he’s cured, he can still live like a normal person, can’t he?”

Father Ling didn’t say anything, but his eyes still held a glimmer of hope.

“Stop dreaming,” Zhong Niangyao said with a cold laugh. “He isn’t just sick. He’s been turned into a living corpse, and there’s no possibility of him returning to normal. The cold corpse in your kitchen is the perfect example.”

At this point, a malevolent smile appeared on her face. “However, if you’re not afraid to end up like the person in that kitchen, you can continue living with him.”

Watching the smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling shuddered involuntarily.

“What about little Chao–?” Mrs. Ling’s voice choked with emotion.

“How about him?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Father Ling and Mrs. Ling. “Remember what I told you? Ling Chao killed Zhang Jing, and he was supposed to pay with his life. You insisted on keeping him alive, and that’s what harmed him.”

“Originally, if he had paid with his life, when he reached hell and cleared the sins he carried, he would have had a chance for reincarnation. But now, he’s been turned into a living corpse, his three souls and seven spirits corrupted, and he will never have the possibility of reincarnation again.”

Father Ling and Mrs. Ling seemed devastated, utterly in disbelief of this reality, and even less willing to accept that they had harmed their own son.

Ignoring the feelings of Father Ling and Mrs. Ling, Zhong Niangyao turned to Lu Yichen beside her. “That so-called Master Zixiao must have had his eyes on Ling Chao for a long time. Even though he is a man, he was rarely born during the Yin year, Yin Moon, and yin time, carrying huge sins with him. His ruthless killing of Zhang Jing shows just how evil he is.”

“This immensely sinful person, born at such a time, has been turned into a living corpse. All it takes is for Ling Chao to kill his own biological parents and completely sever familial ties, then he will become the Corpse King as heaven would not tolerate such actions. That person really has planned this out well.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling suddenly snapped back to reality.

“Lady Zhong, what do you mean?” Father Ling asked eagerly. “Are you saying that little Chao will kill us?”

“What else?” Zhong Niangyao said with a cold laugh. “Surely you don’t believe there are so many altruistic good people in this world? That so-called Master Zixiao you speak of doesn’t want to save Ling Chao. He wants to turn him into a highly dangerous Corpse King.”

“If my guess is correct, that so-called Fake Death Medicine he gave you is the drug used to create living corpses. Such a drug must be consumed while one is alive. Do you really think it was just inducing a fake death? During that time, Ling Chao was truly suffering the agony of transforming into a living corpse. Such pain must be comparable to flaying and bone-breaking! During the transformation, he couldn’t move his limbs at all, but he could clearly feel the dual pain of body and soul.”

“I suppose, at that time, he would have rather been killed by Zhang Jing! At least the pain would have been less.”

Perhaps this is retribution! Ling Chao wanted to escape Zhang Jing’s pursuit, wanted to escape retribution, but the pain he endured was many times worse than that retribution. Yet, he doesn’t even have a chance to regret.

Not only that, but because he has become a living corpse, even his path of reincarnation has been completely severed.

Now, Ling Chao has only two paths left. One is to become that Master Zixiao’s puppet and a weapon for killing; the other is to be taken and completely erased from this world.

“It’s not true; it’s not like that.”

By now, Mrs. Ling was in tears, shaking her head continuously, seemingly wanting to deny Zhong Niangyao’s words. “We really didn’t mean to harm him. He is our son; we just wanted to save him.”

“But the fact now is, you harmed him.”

In the face of Mrs. Ling’s regret, Zhong Niangyao showed no emotion, her voice cold. “The son you raised has harmed someone else’s daughter, and now he’s been harmed by someone else. This is the cycle of Heavenly Dao, where retribution is inevitable.”

Father Ling and Mrs. Ling hung their heads low, their bodies exuding a sense of utter despair, looking as if they had aged over a decade in an instant.

“You should be thankful,” Zhong Niangyao continued without considering their feelings. “Right now, Ling Chao hasn’t yet taken action to kill both of you. If he ever evolved into the Corpse King, the consequences would truly be unimaginable.”

“Seeing it this way, keeping Ling Chao in the hope of luring out that Master Zixiao no longer seems very likely,” Lu Yichen frowned. “He definitely won’t show up before Ling Chao becomes a Corpse King.”

And they certainly couldn’t just stand by and watch Ling Chao evolve into a Corpse King.
