The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 359 - Chapter 359 Chapter 359 Who Gave You This Confidence

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Who Gave You This Confidence? Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Who Gave You This Confidence? “Blood?” Zhong Niangyao’s eyes narrowed as she looked toward Hu Jiu, her gaze filled with coldness, “So, all those girls you captured, you sucked them all dry of their blood, did you?”

“Yes!” A morbid satisfaction spread across Hu Jiu’s face, and his smile grew even more radiant, “But I’m very picky; I don’t just drink from any trash. It has to be the blood of young virgins that I like. That sweet flavor is truly intoxicating!”

“However, the sweetest blood still comes from cultivators. It’s just a pity that it’s so rare.”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Niangyao with eyes full of greed, “I have drunk so much blood, yet I have never smelled anything as sweet as yours. Just the scent of it is enough to drive one mad.”

He could now imagine how, after drinking Zhong Niangyao’s blood, his cultivation would soar at a frenzied pace.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Zhong Niangyao grew even hotter, as if he were looking at a mouthwatering delicacy.

“If you want my blood, you’ll have to show me what you’ve got.”

Zhong Niangyao didn’t waste any more words and immediately began forming a seal with her hands.

As her hands swiftly moved to form the seal, a golden light surged up from beneath her feet, surrounding her in a holy aura. Her gaze toward Hu Jiu was even more murderous as she prepared to launch a strike that, although it would injure her greatly, was meant to kill Hu Jiu then and there.

Sensing the immense power of Zhong Niangyao’s impending strike, Hu Jiu, who had previously been rather casual, now braced himself for the fight.

He didn’t hesitate, launching an attack straight at Zhong Niangyao’s vital points.

At that moment, he had a bad premonition and aimed to end the fight quickly, to avoid any complications that a prolonged battle might bring.

As Hu Jiu charged forward, Zhong Niangyao’s seal was completed.

Two fierce attacks collided, and their tremendous force wreaked havoc all around. Everything in the room disintegrated under the impact, and gradually, the room itself began to fade away, revealing the surrounding environment.

The two of them were now in a forest, surrounded by dense woods, a place rarely visited by humans. Even such a commotion would not stir any attention.

Zhong Niangyao had no intention of paying any heed to her surroundings; she was fully engaged in battle with Hu Jiu. Her sole thought was to kill him right there.

Even now, she could feel her internal organs had been injured, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, her vision blurring, her consciousness gradually dissipating. At this point, she was solely driven by sheer willpower.

With a “boom”–a loud explosion sounded, and the blast spread.

Both Zhong Niangyao and Hu Jiu were injured by the massive shockwave and fell to the ground.

However, Zhong Niangyao had already lost consciousness.

As for Hu Jiu, whose cultivation was much deeper than Zhong Niangyao’s, and who had been strengthening himself by sucking the blood of virgins over the past half a year, his cultivation had steadily increased. Though severely injured, he managed to remain conscious.

Hu Jiu promptly took out an elixir and swallowed it.

After a while, he felt he had recovered. He slowly got up and walked over to Zhong Niangyao, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Although he was seriously injured, as long as he consumed the blood of the woman in front of him, his wounds would heal, and his cultivation would surely surge.

No matter how you looked at it, this deal was very much worth it.

“Hehe, you are the most stubborn woman I have ever met. To tell the truth, I quite admire you. If it weren’t for your enticing blood, I would have really liked to make you my partner!”

Though his face was filled with regret, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest when he made his move.

Hu Jiu’s hand transformed back into a fox’s paw and aimed straight for the main artery in Zhong Niangyao’s neck.

Just as his hand was about to touch Zhong Niangyao’s neck, her eyes suddenly opened, and that cold gaze was completely different from before.

The sudden sight of Zhong Niangyao opening her eyes startled Hu Jiu, and he hesitated for a moment. Then he immediately recovered, with not an ounce of hesitation, his nails sharp as steel stabbing down.

But, his movement abruptly stopped because a delicate little hand firmly trapped his, preventing him from advancing any further.

Feeling the strong force on his wrist, Hu Jiu was filled with shock.

Zhong Niangyao had been seriously injured just moments ago, so why did she still possess such incredible strength now?

Moreover, he felt a familiar aura faintly emanating from Zhong Niangyao, compelling him with an urge to kneel in worship!

“Evil creature, you think you can harm me, who gave you that confidence!”

The cold words spilled from Zhong Niangyao’s mouth, devoid of any warmth.

At the same time, she gave a light flick of the wrist, holding Hu Jiu’s, and sent him flying away.

Hu Jiu slammed heavily to the ground, even creating a large crater!

He felt an intense pain throughout his body, including his internal organs, as if he had fallen to pieces. A sweet, metallic taste filled his throat, and a mouthful of dark Essence Blood spat out.

Yes, Essence Blood, not just blood. He covered his chest, looking incredulously at Zhong Niangyao.

One must know that only when severely injured would one cough up Essence Blood. Essence Blood is different from ordinary blood; it is the essence and the foundation of a cultivator’s strength. Now, with just a flick of her hand, Zhong Niangyao had made him cough up Essence Blood. Just how powerful was this ability!

By this time, Zhong Niangyao had already stood up, her eyes deep and cold. With a step, she soared into the mid-air.

She stood there as if on solid ground, looking down at Hu Jiu who lay on the ground, her gaze devoid of any warmth. She looked like a supreme deity gazing down at an ant, his life or death completely in her hands.

Looking at Zhong Niangyao now, Hu Jiu no longer harbored his previous contempt. He could feel that the current Zhong Niangyao was completely different from before, as if she were a completely different person.
