The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 517 - Chapter 517 Chapter 517 Escape

Chapter 517: Chapter 517 Escape Chapter 517: Chapter 517 Escape Even though she had lost all consciousness, the Ghost King still sensed the danger emanating from the golden light radiating from Zhong Niangyao, causing a momentary halt in her movements due to her instinct for survival. But as she had already become a puppet, a lethal weapon under Master Zeng’s command, the hesitation lasted only a moment before she resumed her attack, heedless of the dazzling golden light, and launched an attack on Zhong Niangyao.

“Ah–” A piercing scream spread throughout the room, sending shivers down the spines of anyone who heard it.

The one letting out such a heartrending scream was none other than the Ghost King, who was assaulting Zhong Niangyao.

“Damn it!”

After cursing under his breath, Master Zeng immediately started reciting a spell, trying to recall the Ghost King.

He was initially caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, which is why he had acted the way he did. Now perceiving the danger, his first reaction was to call back the Ghost King.

This Ghost King was one of his greatest killing devices; losing her here would be an enormous loss to him.

Master Zeng didn’t understand why such an incident had suddenly happened to Zhong Niangyao. However, a voice in his heart was telling him that this turn of events was very unfavorable for him.

But it seemed to be too late for any action.

Zhong Niangyao, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes. It was as if an earth-shattering transformation had taken place, especially in her eyes, where a hint of golden light flickered.

Her gaze was cold and indifferent, making it impossible to discern what exactly lay behind her eyes.

Slowly standing up, the mark of a Red Spider Lily was clearly visible on her forehead. She stood there, surveying her surroundings with a glance, her gaze falling on Master Zeng and Meng Rou, her eyes frosty.

Standing there, she exuded an air of superiority, as if, in her eyes, Master Zeng and Meng Rou were no more than insignificant ants.

Master Zeng stood still, watching Zhong Niangyao who now seemed like a completely different person, and felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart. He had the feeling that Zhong Niangyao, as she was now, was entirely different, dangerous. And yet, just a moment ago, she had seemingly collapsed from utter exhaustion, but now she stood up again.

More so, though her body was still disheveled, her wounds were visibly healing at an astonishing rate.

Everything Master Zeng saw, Meng Rou saw too. A flicker of panic crossed her heart, and then she turned, her eyes seeking help from Master Zeng.

“Master Zeng, what… what is happening? What has happened to Zhong Niangyao?”

Meng Rou had watched Zhong Niangyao almost die from the injuries inflicted by the Ghost King, only for such a transformation to occur. Not only did Zhong Niangyao escape a fatal situation, but she also appeared to be completely different from before, her body seemingly unharmed.

“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?”

Master Zeng did not even glance at Meng Rou as he responded; all his attention was fixed on Zhong Niangyao.

Now, Zhong Niangyao gave him a very dangerous feeling, totally different from before.

When facing Zhong Niangyao, a voice kept surfacing from the depths of his heart, “Run, run.”

But his body was immobile.

“Heh heh, so it turns out to be two little ants!” Zhong Niangyao sneered, then her gaze fell on Master Zeng, and she spoke with disdain, “To be wounded by such ants just now, that’s really too embarrassing!”

“Who are you?” Master Zeng looked at Zhong Niangyao warily, “Which wandering ghost are you from somewhere else, possessing Zhong Niangyao’s body? If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones.”

“Let bygones be bygones?” Zhong Niangyao’s face was ice-cold, “You may not pursue the matter, but I have no intention of letting it go! Who am I? I am Zhong Niangyao! You’ve just harmed me like that, and now I should definitely settle the score with you.”

While speaking, Zhong Niangyao lightly raised her hand and gave a wave.

Master Zeng hadn’t even had time to react when he only felt a gust of wind blow past, and he himself was sent flying out.

After landing on the ground, he struggled to get up, but felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then fresh blood poured out of his mouth continually.

Meng Rou was completely shocked by everything that had happened before her eyes. She wanted to scream, to shout, to steady her own heart.

But she was afraid that doing so would draw Zhong Niangyao’s attention.

The current Zhong Niangyao seemed far too dangerous, and even Master Zeng couldn’t last a single round under her hand, let alone her. She could be killed by Zhong Niangyao at any moment.

Zhong Niangyao paid no attention to Men Rou standing there, but walked straight towards Master Zeng, who was still lying on the ground.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao step by step approaching, Master Zeng struggled to stand up, but still stumbled. Clenching his teeth, in the end he took out the Soul Summoning Banner and released all the evil spirits, even summoning the Ghost King once again.

Instantly, the temperature inside the house dropped again, and the wailing of the Hundred Demons made one’s hair stand on end.

Taking advantage of Zhong Niangyao dealing with those evil spirits and the Ghost King, Master Zeng didn’t hesitate and immediately moved towards the direction of the door.

He didn’t understand why Zhong Niangyao had suddenly become so powerful, but he did know that if he continued to stay, he’d likely lose his life. Looking at Zhong Niangyao’s demeanor, she had no intention of letting him go.

Where there’s life, there’s hope.

He was determined not to die here.

Seeing Master Zeng planning to flee, Meng Rou naturally didn’t dare to stay any longer. She didn’t dare to gamble on whether Zhong Niangyao would kill her or not.

Soon, both Master Zeng and Meng Rou arrived at the position of the door.

Master Zeng reached out a hand, trying to open the door. But after pushing hard, he found the door immovable as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Despite using all his strength, the door did not budge at all.

Seeing this situation, Meng Rou also concluded, hurried forward, and helped to push the door.

But despite both of them using all their might, the door still did not open even a crack.

“How can this be?” Meng Rou’s face paled, her mouth trembling, murmuring incessantly, “It shouldn’t be like this, it shouldn’t be like this.”

She didn’t understand, clearly, she was the one who’d set the trap today, but now she was also the one who had to flee in such an embarrassing way. Her heart was filled with unwillingness, but she also had no other choice but to helplessly accept reality.
