The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 361 - Chapter 361 Chapter 361 Awakening

Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Awakening Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Awakening Soul pain kept assaulting him relentlessly, making Hu Jiu’s screams so hoarse his voice changed, and his forehead and back were covered in cold sweat. He felt that today, he was probably going to meet his end here.

Just as Hu Jiu was a mere step away from death, the soul-tearing pain finally vanished. The feeling of being reborn made him let out a long sigh of relief.

Lu Yichen held Zhong Niangyao in his arms, raised his head, and looked past Hu Jiu on the ground, towards the two people who were approaching from their original spot.

“Chief.”

After the two people arrived in front of Lu Yichen, they immediately saluted.

Lu Yichen glanced coldly at Hu Jiu on the ground, “This person is the culprit behind the recent missing cases. His cultivation is now completely gone. Take him away!”

“Also, those people who went missing from the special department have fallen victim to his evil acts. Take him back, but make sure he remains alive.”

“Yes, Chief!”

The two people promptly took out specially made handcuffs, and roughly pulled Hu Jiu up from the ground, then clapped the handcuffs on him.

Even seeing Hu Jiu in such a sorry state didn’t evoke any sympathy in their hearts. On the contrary, when they looked at Hu Jiu, their eyes could very nearly kill.

Remembering their colleagues who had been tortured, they wished they could kill the man in front of them right away. Since the chief had said to leave him alive, they didn’t need to be polite.

Their department was not like ordinary law enforcement agencies; whatever methods they employed were legal. Now that the Evil Cultivator had fallen into their hands, they would use every method at their disposal on him, to comfort the souls of their colleagues who had died horrifically.

Hu Jiu looked at Lu Yichen leaving and then at the two men in front of him, suddenly feeling that his hope for survival was truly gone.

If you asked him if he regretted using dark and evil ways to cultivate, he would definitely say he didn’t. However, if time could turn back, he would definitely not have captured Zhong Niangyao. Then he would still be able to live freely, rather than being reduced to a prisoner as he was now.

Elsewhere, Lu Yichen carried Zhong Niangyao straight back to the guesthouse.

On the way back, he had already checked, and Zhong Niangyao didn’t have any injuries. Thus, he didn’t take her to the hospital but went directly back to the guesthouse instead.

Although it was already deep into the night, the lights in the guesthouse were still brightly lit, and both the owner and the Boss Lady had not yet rested.

They had seen Lu Yichen hurriedly leave just now. They didn’t know if there was any need to help, so they decided to wait here. Besides, they wanted to know if the girl had been found and if she was alright.

Apart from the owner and the Boss Lady, there was also a man waiting there. His girlfriend had been missing for so long and had not been found. If that girl really had been found, did it mean there would be news about his girlfriend as well?

After Lu Yichen brought Zhong Niangyao back to the guesthouse, he didn’t even glance at the others and went straight back to the room with her in his arms.

The Boss Lady had originally wanted to ask a few questions, but upon seeing Lu Yichen’s stern demeanor, she immediately backed off.

Looking at Zhong Niangyao, who was lying on the bed sleeping quietly, Lu Yichen’s gloomy mood finally lifted. He was sure that Zhong Niangyao was merely asleep.

Involuntarily, he remembered what Zhong Niangyao had looked like just before, and his brow furrowed.

When he had first picked up Zhong Niangyao, he could feel her injuries. But in just a short moment, such severe injuries had miraculously healed.

He didn’t know the mystery behind it, nor did he intend to delve into the details. As long as Zhong Niangyao returned to his side, he was already satisfied.

As for the rest, with the passage of time, they would come to know what they needed to know.

Just like that, Lu Yichen refused to leave even a single step, quietly sitting by the bedside, watching the sleeping Zhong Niangyao, his eyes full of tender affection.

At this moment, Zhong Niangyao only felt very tired, and she wanted to sleep. She felt like she was in a state of utter darkness, unaware of her surroundings. Despite her fatigue, she felt that she needed to leave this place quickly, otherwise, someone would worry about her.

Even what had happened before, and why she was in such a place, she had forgotten. Right now, her mind was focused on one thought: to leave.

Finally, with persistent efforts, she seemed to find a sliver of light in front of her.

Following that direction, she desperately ran towards it.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Lu Yichen’s affectionate eyes; a smile curled on her lips, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing,” Lu Yichen shook his head, then spoke, “How do you feel now?”

Only after hearing Lu Yichen’s words did Zhong Niangyao belatedly realize that she had already returned to the guesthouse. What surprised her the most was that her injuries had already healed.

“What kind of elixir did you give me?” Zhong Niangyao asked, gazing straight at Lu Yichen with a smile, “My injuries are all gone!”

But Lu Yichen shook his head, “I haven’t given you any elixirs. Your wounds healed on their own.”

“Really?” A trace of disbelief crossed Zhong Niangyao’s face, “How is that possible? Does my body really have such hidden power?”

Lu Yichen inquired tentatively, “Have you forgotten what just happened?”

“I only remember that I was fighting the fox spirit,” Zhong Niangyao tried hard to recall the recent events, “I remember expending all my strength on the final blow. Then I lost all consciousness, and after that–”

She tried hard to remember, but a sharp pain in her head made it impossible for her to recollect anything.

“Ouch,” she couldn’t help but let out a soft hiss of pain.

Lu Yichen quickly spoke up to stop her, “Alright, don’t think about it. If you can’t remember, then it’s not important. Don’t think about it any longer. You’ll remember eventually, there’s no need to rush.”

Zhong Niangyao gently shook her head, took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and the pain in her head gradually subsided.
