The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Security Assurance Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Security Assurance After listening to Zhong Niangyao’s words, a flicker of contemplation passed through Lu Yichen’s eyes. “These changes in you might be related to the strong power within your body.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded in agreement. “I think so too. This power appeared mysteriously, but I can integrate it well, as if it were originally my own.”

“Since there are no abnormalities and you’ve gained a powerful force, it’s ultimately a good thing for you.”

Lu Yichen extended his hand and patted Zhong Niangyao on the head. Upon seeing the dried blood on her body, his eyes involuntarily darkened, “From now on, you have an extra layer of security.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, then expressed some worry, “It’s good, but how do I explain this? First of all, there’s no way I can explain this to my grandparents.”

“For the mark between your eyebrows, just say it’s a tattoo!” Lu Yichen suggested. “Later on, I’ll get a tattoo just like the Red Spider Lily mark on your forehead on my chest. We’ll tell them it’s a couple’s tattoo.”

Hearing the excuse Lu Yichen had come up with for her, Zhong Niangyao didn’t know what to say for a moment, but had to admit that it was barely a good idea. Still–

“What about the eyes?” She pointed to her golden pupils and said, “The mark on the forehead could be tattooed, but suddenly having golden eyes can’t be explained. There are no foreigners in our family!”

Lu Yichen thought for a while and then straightforwardly said, “Just say they suddenly turned out this way. Maybe your mother’s side has such ancestry!”

“Is that plausible?” Zhong Niangyao was a bit skeptical.

“They haven’t met your birth mother anyway,” Lu Yichen said matter-of-factly. “So, they won’t suspect. Even if they do, they can never guess the real reason.”

Zhong Niangyao sighed helplessly. “Fine! It’s the only option for now.”

Lu Yichen raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Meng Rou, who was screaming not far away, and on Master Zeng, who had become a ghost but had lost consciousness, with a trace of cold light flickering in his eyes. “It was them who brought you here, right?”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, then expressed some annoyance. “They said they had captured Zhao Xuanglang and lured me here.”

At this point, she added an explanation, “I was not worried about Zhao Xuanglang. I just didn’t want to involve him because of me, as that would lead to consequences, and that wouldn’t be good.”

After speaking, she felt annoyed again.

Why did she explain so much? It made her seem rather guilty, and besides, she had her principles in doing things; she didn’t need to explain so much!

Lu Yichen, on the other hand, couldn’t help but smile when he heard Zhong Niangyao’s words, almost like an explanation. He didn’t speak, just quietly watched Zhong Niangyao.

For a moment, Zhong Niangyao felt her cheeks turn hot. Through the mirror, she saw a hint of redness on her cheeks.

“Let’s go!”

Annoyed and embarrassed, Zhong Niangyao walked past Lu Yichen and returned to the living room.

Upon seeing Meng Rou still writhing and rolling in pain, the extraneous expression on Zhong Niangyao’s face disappeared, and she became icy cold again.

She extended her hand and with a casual wave, Master Zeng’s soul, which had been gnawing at Meng Rou’s soul, was now under the control of Zhong Niangyao.

Finally having a moment to catch her breath, Meng Rou gasped heavily. She slumped to the ground, seemingly unharmed, yet feeling an agonizing pain seeping from her bones throughout her body.

Now, she was completely drained of strength, and even if there was an opportunity to escape, she couldn’t.

Lu Yichen’s icy gaze fell on Meng Rou, as if looking at an ant that could be crushed at any moment.

Meng Rou suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold envelop her, and when she looked up, her whole body stiffened.

She hadn’t noticed Lu Yichen’s arrival before. At that time, her entire focus was on Master Zeng, trying to dodge the harm he was inflicting on her, coupled with the genuine pain in her body, she had no mind to pay attention to anything else.

Seeing Lu Yichen now, her first reaction was fear.

She had seen how Lu Yichen treated Zhong Niangyao. If Lu Yichen knew what she had done to Zhong Niangyao, would he let her go?

Thinking about this, her body couldn’t help but start shaking.

Zhong Niangyao, however, did not pay any attention to Meng Rou. She directly summoned the Netherworld Messengers. She found that her strength had grown so powerful that she no longer needed to use hand seals or spells, but merely needed to think and wave her hand, and the gates of the underworld would open.

Soon, two figures in black and white appeared–the Netherworld Messengers were Black and White Impermanence.

Upon hearing the summon, Black and White Impermanence had come to the Human World.

They knew clearly that in the mortal world, aside from Zhong Niangyao, no one else would summon Netherworld Messengers. Therefore, before coming, they already knew who it was.

But when they actually saw Zhong Niangyao, they couldn’t help but be stunned, especially when they felt the powerful aura emanating from her, saw the Red Spider Lily on her forehead, and those golden pupils. A look of surprise flashed across their faces and then disappeared.

“Lady Zhong, you’ve asked us to come here–”

The demeanor seemed as usual, yet conveyed a feeling of great respect.

In fact, although Black and White Impermanence looked calm on the surface, inside they were already experiencing a storm of emotions.

“Lords, this ghost has committed many evils in life.”

Zhong Niangyao handed over the soul of Master Zeng, which she had controlled, to Black and White Impermanence, “His current state is due to being corroded by the Hundred Ghosts Grudge that he himself created. I’ve handed over this ghost to you and hope you will make a clear report to King Yan, not allowing this soul to reincarnate too easily.”

If it were up to her, she would have preferred that the soul of Master Zeng be utterly destroyed. However, everything has rules, and the soul of Master Zeng was under the jurisdiction of hell, so she couldn’t intervene arbitrarily.

Thus, she handed over the soul of Master Zeng to hell, to let hell decide its fate!

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Black and White Impermanence immediately became more solemn, “Rest assured, Lady Zhong, we will clearly explain to the Lord, and will not let any ghost who has committed evil escape punishment.”
