The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 Chapter 483 The Third Option

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Third Option Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Third Option Jiang Ruoyao’s reply stunned the Red-dressed Ghost for a moment, but she quickly recovered, her face still bearing a smile, “Is that so? Then you are truly too kind, only–”

With a turn of phrase, “your kindness is useless at this moment of life and death. Don’t forget, just a moment ago, this man wanted to kill you!”

“How he acts is his business,” Jiang Ruoyao declared firmly. “Regardless, I will not kill anyone.”

Her refusal wasn’t due to any lingering feelings for Jiang Heng; it was purely because of her personality and approach to life. She didn’t want to resolve problems by killing, especially under such circumstances where fratricide would bring them no benefit.

Moreover, this female ghost clad in red who wished to see them kill each other clearly had a twisted psyche. How could she trust her to actually let the last person go?

“Hehe, truly a Holy Mother Heart!”

The Red-dressed Ghost lifted her head to look at Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, then asked with a smiling expression, “What about you? Do you feel the same? Even if it means dying here, you wouldn’t kill anyone either.”

Lu Yichen didn’t speak; he didn’t even glance at the female ghost, as if she didn’t exist at all.

Instead, Zhong Niangyao, with frost in her eyes but a meaningful smile curling the corner of her lips, responded, “What if I say that we don’t want to kill either? What will you do to us then?”

Taken aback by such a response, the Red-dressed Ghost narrowed her eyes at Zhong Niangyao. Her smile turned particularly sinister and her entire body emitted a strong black energy, “Since you don’t want to harm each other, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

She looked at Zhong Niangyao guardedly. For some reason, she always felt something was off about this girl, as if there was something she had overlooked.

Especially the attitudes of Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen, which constantly gave her an indescribable feeling. From beginning to end, she couldn’t see through their emotions.

These younger lovers, at such a crucial moment, were already turning against each other. Yet the other two always seemed detached from the matter, as if watching a play.

“I don’t want to die here.”

As the Red-dressed Ghost was about to get angry, Jiang Heng could no longer control his emotions. He seized a Dagger and charged at the others, “You all die! If you all die, then I can leave.”

At that moment, he was entirely in a frenzied state. His only thought was to survive, even if it meant killing everyone else there.

It was this thought that had made Jiang Heng completely lose all reason. His eyes bloodshot, he brandished the Dagger chaotically, with only one idea: to kill everyone else and survive.

However, contrary to his wishes, Jiang Heng hadn’t approached when he was struck and sent flying again.

Unlike the previous time, several meters from Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen, it seemed as if an invisible force had struck his body, sending him flying once more.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoyao, who was still in a state of fear, couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

She abruptly looked up at Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, her gaze shifting between the two, seemingly trying to discern who was responsible.

“Are you from the Mystical Sect?” the Red-dressed Ghost asked, her tone affirmative though phrased as a question.

Zhong Niangyao didn’t answer the question of the Red-dressed Ghost directly but instead smiled, saying, “Earlier, you asked us whether we prefer to kill or be killed. I’ll tell you now, there is a third option: to kill you!”

As her words fell, Zhong Niangyao didn’t hesitate for a moment. She immediately acted, throwing a talisman paper toward the Red-dressed Ghost.

The talisman flew towards the Red-dressed Ghost but didn’t hit her. Instead, it exploded into a loud noise a meter away from her.

The Red-dressed Ghost’s expression didn’t change; her smile still confident and maniacal, “Indeed, you have some skills. Unfortunately, in front of me, your little tricks are just not sufficient!”

“It’s not certain whether it’s enough or not.”

Zhong Niangyao wasn’t disheartened either, quickly forming a Seal with both hands and striking towards the Red-dressed Ghost.

A golden light appeared along with Zhong Niangyao’s finger movements, and when a complete pattern formed, with a shout, the pattern emitting golden light attacked the Red-dressed Ghost.

“Void Talisman.”

The Red-dressed Ghost’s smile faded a bit, her gaze gaining a trace of seriousness, “Really a bit skilled, but still not sufficient against me!”

“Who is more powerful can only be known after a comparison,” Zhong Niangyao’s eyes flashed with cold frost as she spoke sternly, “The scent of blood on you is too strong; it seems you’ve killed many. If not, you wouldn’t have such strong ghost energy.”

“You’ve killed many innocents. Even if I truly annihilate you here, it would still be considered as acting on heaven’s behalf.”

“Hehe, still thinking of annihilating me? You’re dreaming.”

As if she had heard a huge joke, the Red-dressed Ghost burst into laughter, “Acting on heaven’s behalf, little girl, with that little ability of yours, you are no match for me.”

Whether I am or not, your word doesn’t count.”

A hint of cold frost flashed in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, and she immediately attacked the Red-dressed Ghost.

Soon, the Red-dressed Ghost and Zhong Niangyao were engaged in fierce combat, and in no time, many things in the area were destroyed. This, combined with the location, really added to the oppressive atmosphere.

Everything around was unfortunately affected, except the area directly behind Lu Yichen, which was spared.

He appeared very calm, showing no intention of intervening.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help; rather, Zhong Niangyao had already made it clear earlier that he should not get involved at this critical moment.

A very firm request, and one not allowed to be refused.

Because he feared upsetting Zhong Niangyao, even though he was somewhat reluctant, he ultimately agreed to her request. Now, all he could do was watch.
