The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 513 - Chapter 513 Chapter 513 Master Zeng

Chapter 513: Chapter 513 Master Zeng Chapter 513: Chapter 513 Master Zeng Stepping into the haunted house, a chilling breath instantly pervaded her entire body, causing Zhong Nianyao to frown involuntarily. Then she looked up and surveyed her surroundings, a trace of solemnity flickering in her eyes.

Just now, when she heard that cab driver mention that many adventurers had died here, she thought it might be an exaggeration. Now, it seemed to be true.

From the outside, it looked like a place with heavy yin energy. But once inside, one could feel a strong resentment mixed with dense ghost energy. However, after entering, she discovered that in a place where the yin energy was so heavy, there wasn’t a single ghost to be found.

That left only one possibility: there was a very powerful Ghost King here that prevented ghosts from miles around from daring to come close, for fear of being devoured.

Still, this Ghost King should have an owner, right? Otherwise, why would the ghosts kidnap Zhao Xuanlang, then lure her here?

The moment she entered the house, the dilapidated door behind her closed automatically.

A “creak” sound followed, which was particularly jarring in the silent, cold space. An ordinary person would definitely have been frightened.

But Zhong Nianyao’s expression remained unchanged. She lifted her head, her gaze directed towards the upper floor, yet she made no additional movement, merely speaking lightly, “Since you’ve arranged to meet me, why not come out and see me? Or are you saying–”

“You’re also aware that the things you’ve done cannot be seen in daylight!”

“Clap, clap, clap–”

Clear applause sounded as a graceful figure slowly descended from the upper floor. The person had long, straight black hair and wore a light green floral dress, which suited her age perfectly. The delicate face revealed an exceptional innocence that could invoke pity in anyone who saw her.

Seeing the newcomer, Zhong Nianyao did show a moment of surprise, “I truly did not expect it to be you, Meng Rou.”

Indeed, it was Meng Rou who came down from the upper floor. She was also the one clapping.

Dropping her hands, Meng Rou’s face revealed a hint of a smile, “Zhong Nianyao, it seems you’re quite confident, to come here alone. But I’m actually curious, what exactly is your relationship with Zhao Xuanlang? He keeps calling you ‘boss,’ and now you’re risking your life for him. There must be some secrets between you two, right? I wonder if Third Young Master Lu is aware of your promiscuous history?”

“If he knows, I wonder if your wedding can still proceed smoothly?”

“You needn’t worry about that,” Zhong Nianyao regarded Meng Rou coolly, “But I’m certain if Lu Yilei knew about your past, the two of you would definitely break it off.”

If it had been in the past, Meng Rou would have unavoidably felt frightened by Zhong Nianyao’s words, but now her face bore no trace of fear, only an arrogant confidence, “You’re right, of course. Unfortunately–”

“Zhong Nianyao, you no longer have a chance to speak out. You won’t be leaving here alive today.”

“It seems you are resolved not to let me leave,” Zhong Nianyao’s sharp gaze settled on Meng Rou, “I am somewhat curious though, where does this mysterious confidence of yours come from? What makes you think you have the ability to make me fall here today?”

“Heh, Zhong Nianyao, I know you’re formidable,” Meng Rou laughed smugly, “but there are always people better than you, there are heavens beyond our heaven. In this world, there are plenty more powerful than you. You are too arrogant, and you’re destined to take a fall because of it.”

While Meng Rou spoke, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow Daoist robe, sporting a goatee, with an ordinary face but exuding an uncomfortable aura all over, also came downstairs. The man was likely a Taoist, holding a duster in his hand.

His presence suffused the entire space with an uncomfortable vibe. His beady eyes sized up Zhong Nianyao, occasionally flashing a greedy glint.

It was as if, in his eyes, Zhong Nianyao was a delicious delicacy.

Seeing the faint red glow around the middle-aged man, a glint of gloom flashed through Zhong Nianyao’s eyes as murderous intent began to emerge.

With her Heavenly Eye opened, she saw the blood-red glow on the man, realizing that he had committed many killings, nearly too many to count.

Such a bloody glow indicated that this man’s cultivation was definitely of an Evil nature. Leaving such a person alive would mean untold harm to many others in the future.

“So this is the Zhong Nianyao you spoke of!” The middle-aged man looked towards Meng Rou and nodded approvingly, “Indeed, she’s a rare nutrient. I’m very satisfied.”

Previously, he had learned from Meng Rou that Zhong Nianyao was a cultivator who knew mystical arts. At that time, he considered Zhong Nianyao to be just an ordinary cultivator.

When Meng Rou asked for his help, he agreed without hesitation. His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and coupled with injuries, if he couldn’t break through, he might be nearing the end of his life.

There were many cultivators in this world, but he dared not hunt them recklessly, fearing he might draw the attention of the Special Department. If he really got hunted by the Special Department, it would be a truly regrettable loss.

He had once faced someone from the Special Department and had been full of confidence, but after just one move from a very young man, he nearly perished right there.

Had it not been for a Magic Treasure on him which saved his life and allowed him to escape, he would not have been able to stand here today.

Since then, he had been lying low and careful not to confront people from the Special Department.

However, this time Meng Rou came to him, so naturally, he would not refuse.

Today, seeing Zhong Nianyao whom Meng Rou had spoken of, his heart surged with joy. The energy emanating from Zhong Nianyao was pure. If he could obtain that energy, not only would he break through his bottleneck, but advancing further was also very likely.

Indeed, today his assistance was not in vain.

After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, a flash of joy swept through Meng Rou’s eyes, but she kept a humble front, “I’m glad Master Zeng is pleased. Zhong Nianyao, consider her my gift to you.”

After speaking, she shot a triumphant glance at Zhong Nianyao, the euphoria in her eyes too malicious to hide. At that moment, she seemed to have already foreseen Zhong Nianyao’s tragic fate.
