The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 356 - Chapter 356 Chapter 366 Fox Spirit

Chapter 356: Chapter 366 Fox Spirit Chapter 356: Chapter 366 Fox Spirit Due to Zhong Nianyao’s disappearance, the entire town was shrouded in a low pressure. Even the ordinary people in the town could feel the oppressive mood.

It had been three days since Lu Yichen had lost contact with Zhong Nianyao, and his aura was becoming colder and colder.

The people who felt this most acutely were the staff brought in by the Special Department. They were initially quite happy to be handling a case alongside their highest-ranking officer. However, after spending some days with him, they only felt one thing: cold.

This cold wasn’t a physical one, but one that was psychological. Facing their superior’s eyes, sharp as ice daggers daily, they had to be exceedingly careful in every task they performed, for fear that a single mistake would provoke his wrath.

They had already intensified the search, but just like the other missing girls before, Nianyao had disappeared into thin air, leaving not a single clue behind.

Meanwhile, sitting on the floor in a dimly lit room was Zhong Nianyao.

She should have been in a disheveled state, yet she remained spotless.

Even in such a dark and damp place, Nianyao still looked ethereal, not like a prisoner at all, but more like a casual tourist enjoying the scenery, looking utterly at ease.

Looking around, Nianyao couldn’t help but sigh. She had not expected to capsize in a gutter this time. Her plan was to coordinate an inside-outside operation with Lu Yichen, but after entering this place, she lost all contact with him, and even her Communication Talisman failed to work.

No wonder, then, that even the people sent by the Special Department had fallen prey to this place! It was indeed unique – all means of contact with the outside world, whether mystical techniques or ordinary electronic communication, were nullified here.

This place could truly be deemed isolated from the world.

She hadn’t been abducted here but had simply found herself here all of a sudden.

That day, she pretended to have a fight with Lu Yichen and then ran out. To give the people behind the scenes a chance, she even purposely ran into a desolate alley.

What she hadn’t expected was that, upon entering the alley, the spot she stepped on suddenly lit up, and in the blink of an eye, she was in this place.

Although dark and damp, the place had furniture like any simple room would have.

In this room where day and night were indistinguishable with only dim lights for company, the passage of time was imperceptible. It was incredibly quiet, without a single sound to be heard.

Being trapped in such a room would probably drive any normal person insane eventually!

However, Nianyao was no ordinary person; she was once the State Preceptor of Lai Country. She lived alone in the National Master Hall for many years, enduring solitude and embracing it.

Thus, even trapped in such a room, she remained calm, and like someone without a care in the world, she sat there pondering every day.

Her only worry now was Lu Yichen.

They had arranged to work together from the inside and outside, but now that she was trapped and unable to contact Lu Yichen, she didn’t dare to imagine what he might end up doing in his search for her.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when a ripple appeared in the space, and soon after, a stunningly attractive man materialized in front of her.

Yes, a stunningly attractive man.

The word “stunning” was typically used to describe women, but the man who had suddenly appeared perfectly embodied the term.

With a melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, a nicely-shaped nose, and cherry-like lips, he had delicate yet enticing features. Though clearly a man, his presence emanated seductive charm.

Seeing the man before her, Nianyao suddenly understood why so many kings through the ages were willing to forsake their thrones for the sake of beauty.

Despite not being a beautiful woman but a beautiful man, his allure was enough to provoke the impulse to sacrifice everything just for his favoring smile.

“So you’re a fox spirit!” Nianyao said, her expression steady as she rested her chin on one hand, “No wonder all the missing ones are girls! It turns out to be a male fox spirit.”

After opening her Heavenly Eye, she could see that this man who had appeared suddenly was indeed a male fox spirit.

However, a shroud of dark energy enveloped the male fox spirit, indicating his use of Forbidden Techniques for his cultivation.

Recalling the missing girls, she couldn’t help but inwardly lament, deducing that their fate was mostly likely grim.

Hu Jiu, the male fox spirit, paused when he heard Nianyao’s words but then recovered quickly, his face breaking into an enchanting smile, “This little sister is truly formidable! None of those I’ve captured before were able to recognize me as a fox spirit. Just by glancing at me, little sister, you’ve identified me, showing quite the depth in your cultivation!”

That seductive smile, combined with his deep voice, could easily ensnare anyone.

Indeed, the fox spirit’s talent for seduction was not to be underestimated.

“The fox’s stench on you is so obvious, it would be hard to pretend otherwise, even if I wanted to!” Nianyao’s expression didn’t change, and she wasn’t affected by any seduction, cracking a slight smile, “Besides, I am quite young and can’t claim to have profound cultivation. You must have noticed, I’m just in my early twenties!”

Seeing that Nianyao was unaffected, Hu Jiu paused momentarily but then regained his composure. His eyes glistened, and his smile grew even more bewitching, “Little sister is indeed very young! However, I just like such young girls. What do you say? Do you fancy me, dear sister?”

As he spoke, Hu Jiu directly employed the Fox Clan’s unique Charming Technique.

Under normal circumstances, the innate charm of the foxes was enough to captivate many without even using their Charming Technique. Therefore, when Nianyao hadn’t fallen for his seduction earlier, he was genuinely surprised.

But now, he had decided to use the Charming Technique. Having cultivated it for years, and augmente his powers through Forbidden Techniques recently, his cultivation had skyrocketed. He was confident in the power of the Charming Technique he wielded, so much so that he believed even the Upper Gods couldn’t resist his enchantment.
