The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 538 - Chapter 538 Chapter 538 Treating the Good Well

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Treating the Good Well Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Treating the Good Well Retreating ten thousand steps, even if it was indeed Judge’s compassion that moved him, it was because Zhong Niangyao dared to speak up and plead for mercy.

These people, when facing the Judges of hell, had long ago involuntarily developed a sense of fear, and wouldn’t dare speak to the Judge in such an equal tone!

“Nianyao, you are really too amazing,” Long Jiarui couldn’t help but praise her. “If it weren’t for you today, my second brother and Sister Chuqing definitely wouldn’t have been able to have a happy ending.”

“Yes!”

Mr. Lian and Madam Lian stepped forward and deeply bowed to Zhong Niangyao.

Finally, Mr. Lian spoke up, “Lady Zhong, we are really grateful to you, we never thought we’d have the chance to reunite with our daughter.”

Moreover, it wasn’t just a simple reunion, but the kind that allowed them to continue cherishing their progeny. Although they didn’t know long this time might be, they were already very content.

Facing the thanks of Mr. Lian and Madam Lian, Zhong Niangyao didn’t feel any discomfort, nor did she lower her stance just because they were her elders.

The deed she had done this time, could bear the weight of their lifetime of gratitude.

After nodding to the couple, Zhong Niangyao looked again at Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing, who were still immersed in their joy, and spoke directly, “The words the Judge spoke just now, you both must have heard clearly, right?”

“Long Haoguang, although it’s Lian Chuqing who has returned to life, it was you who offered up your lifespan. Now by the decree of Heavenly Dao, you are the one who has performed the defiance of heaven, so your lifespan will be greatly reduced. Even with the ten years of life extension given by Long Jiarui and Long Haobo, you and Lian Chuqing will not have very long lives.”

Originally, she hadn’t mentioned this since she felt that whether she said it or not didn’t make much difference. After all, once their lifespans were shared, neither would live very long.

Besides, Long Haoguang didn’t even care about his own life, so how could he mind a mere reduction in lifespan?

Her words cast a shadow over the previously joyous atmosphere of the room.

Lian Chuqing’s joyful face disappeared as soon as she heard Zhong Niangyao’s words.

Feeling the change in Lian Chuqing’s emotions, Long Haoguang reached out and held her hand, giving her warmth and support. Then, turning his head to look at Zhong Niangyao, he said earnestly, “Lady Zhong, I understand what you mean.” There was no trace of darkness on his face, only joy remained, “Being together with Qingqing once more, even if just for one day, I would savor it. Moreover, we have such a long time ahead, I already feel completely fulfilled.”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lian Chuqing, his tone as gentle as ever, “Without you, I wouldn’t want to live even a single day. Now we can live for a long time, which, to me, is already a bonus.”

Seeing this, Long Jiarui came over to Zhong Niangyao and couldn’t help but ask, “Nianyao, is there really no other way? Or, could I lend them some more lifespan? I really don’t mind.”

Zhong Niangyao shook her head and responded indifferently, “Five years is the limit. Moreover, you are now pregnant, don’t you want to see your son get married and have children?”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Long Jiarui was visibly moved, her hand subconsciously caressing her belly.

Indeed, she didn’t love Lu Chenran and wanted to free herself as soon as possible to leave this world and find the person in her heart.

But as for the child in her womb, she found it difficult to let go. She didn’t love the child’s father, yet she loved this child.

Especially as she felt the child growing inside her, a strange emotion quietly sprouted, letting her experience the grandeur of nurturing life.

The others hadn’t noticed the interaction between Zhong Niangyao and Long Jiarui.

Zhong Niangyao stepped forward and looked at Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing, and continued, “Actually, although your lifespan has diminished considerably, there is still a chance to make up for it.”

This was one of the reasons she had initially kept silent.

At this revelation, everyone’s gaze focused on Zhong Niangyao.

Lian Chuqing asked eagerly, “Really? What is the method?”

She didn’t mind her own lifespan being short; after all, every day hereafter was already a bonus. She just didn’t want Long Haoguang to lose too much for her sake.

The rest wore urgent expressions, yet they didn’t dare to push Zhong Niangyao too hard, fearing they might unintentionally upset her or seem questioning.

“Do good deeds.”

Zhong Niangyao spoke forthrightly, “Heavenly Dao has always favored the kind. This is also what people often say, ‘Accumulating Yin De can make one live a long life.'”

“All the good you do is seen by Heavenly Dao. Because of this ghost’s return to life, your lifespan has been reduced. However, if you do more good deeds and diligently accumulate Yin De, that lost lifespan can slowly be restored.”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up. They hadn’t expected that the method she suggested would be so simple.

Both the Long Family and the Lian Family were influential clans that had always done many good deeds.

What they were asked to do now wasn’t to commit arson or murder, but simply to do more good deeds–it was an extremely simple method.

Long Haoguang nodded and said with earnestness, “I understand, I’ll definitely do more good deeds in the future. I will make sure to restore whatever lifespan I’ve lost.”

Although he didn’t care about the lost lifespan, being able to live even one more day meant he could spend another day with Lian Chuqing, and he was willing to do so, especially since this method was so simple.

Zhong Niangyao just shrugged, remaining neutral.

Whether they did it and how they proceeded was up to them.

“Lady Zhong, could we possibly help out?” Madam Lian stepped forward and asked, “Or is there something we could do?”

Now that their daughter could return to life, naturally she was ecstatic. Besides Zhong Niangyao, she was grateful to the Long Family as well, especially Long Haoguang.

At the same time, she also felt a bit embarrassed. Whether it was the return to life or life extension, the Lian Family hadn’t done anything. Yet it was their daughter who was being revived; facing the Long Family, especially Long Haoguang, they always felt a sense of guilt and wanted to do something to prove their worth.
