The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 542 - Chapter 542 542 Bloodthirsty

Chapter 542: 542 Bloodthirsty Chapter 542: 542 Bloodthirsty Zhong Niangyao pushed the door open directly and saw Meng Rou lying on the bed, struggling in agony with a fierce expression. Despite her evident pain, she seemed to crave blood, her eyes glowing green, adding an even more horrifying aura to the gloomy room.

Quietly watching Meng Rou inside the room, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but frown, her eyes filled with disdain.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s expression, Lu Yichen couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. He reached out, patted her head, and asked, “What, do you disdain her?”

“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “It’s quite repulsive. I didn’t expect Meng Rou to turn into such a being. Although I knew the ghost baby was draining her life to survive, Meng Rou has changed too much.”

“Evil reaps evil,” said Lu Yichen, concluding simply.

The Meng Family, who had followed upstairs, just heard Lu Yichen’s last statement and their faces immediately turned sour. No one feels good hearing such comments about one’s family from outsiders.

However, the person speaking was Lu Yichen, a figure they could not afford to offend. Additionally, Zhong Niangyao was the only hope for saving Meng Rou. Thus, even though they felt uncomfortable, they had to endure.

Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen stood at the door, quietly observing Meng Rou’s agony not far away.

At that moment, Meng Rou still bore her previous hideous appearance, but now she seemed exceptionally tormented. Her twisted features and painful, low moans embodied the inhuman suffering she was enduring.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao making no move, the Meng Family grew anxious.

Especially Madam Meng, who couldn’t hold back any longer, stepped forward and even questioned, “Lady Zhong, Xiao Rou is in such pain, why aren’t you doing anything?”

Zhong Niangyao’s presence made her feel as if help was willingly offered. Yet, now, seeing Zhong Niangyao acting like an outsider, merely watching Xiao Rou endure such torment, she could not bear it any longer.

“Do something?” Zhong Niangyao’s tone carried a hint of confusion. She raised an eyebrow and responded, “Do what? The ghost baby has not even been born yet, how can I intervene?”

“Are you waiting for that ghostly thing to be born?” Madam Meng’s voice suddenly rose a notch. “What will happen to Xiao Rou then?”

“She will surely die!” Zhong Niangyao replied nonchalantly. “Didn’t I tell you before? When I arrive, it will be time for you to collect her body!”

Those words instantly triggered Madam Meng’s memory. Her face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but step back several paces. Looking at Zhong Niangyao, disbelief filled her eyes. “You are just going to watch Xiao Rou die.”

“How can you be so heartless? That’s a living life! Don’t you have any compassion at all?”

“Compassion, I certainly have it.”

Amid Madam Meng’s accusations, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged, her lips curling into a sarcastic smile, “But, I definitely don’t have a Holy Mother Heart. Meng Rou herself has plotted to kill me. I haven’t done anything to her – merely watching from the sidelines is already quite generous.”

“But… but…” Madam Meng stammered, unable at that moment to know how to persuade Zhong Niangyao.

Ignorance from Zhong Niangyao doesn’t mean indifference from Lu Yichen standing behind her. Seeming to see through Madam Meng’s little schemes, Lu Yichen’s eyes became sharp and dangerous.

“If you’re so noble, then why don’t you go up and offer your life!” Lu Yichen’s gaze fell on Madam Meng, “The ghost baby inside her is extremely eager for fresh blood. If you go now, you can make Meng Rou more comfortable.”

Originally accusing Zhong Niangyao, Madam Meng froze on the spot after hearing Lu Yichen’s words, not knowing what to do.

She naturally didn’t dare to step forward rashly, especially seeing Meng Rou’s condition. Even for her own daughter, she didn’t dare to approach. Her eyes darted around, and she even avoided looking at Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen in front of her.

Seeing Madam Meng’s demeanor, Zhong Niangyao curved her lips into a mocking smile, “Even you can’t bring yourself to get close to Meng Rou, nor are you willing to sacrifice your life for her. What right do you have to scream at me here?”

During the conversation, Zhong Niangyao lost her usual languor, her entire persona becoming sharp and clear, her aura unmistakably dominant, giving off a strong oppressive feeling of someone in a high position.

Madam Meng looked particularly dejected, and she didn’t even dare to look up and meet Zhong Niangyao’s gaze.

“Ah–”

A sharp scream pierced the horrifying atmosphere in the room.

The person screaming was none other than Meng Rou.

By now, her belly had been torn open by a small slit, a tiny bloodied hand resting atop it. One could almost see the bloody thing moving, seemingly exerting all its effort to crawl out as quickly as possible.

“This is… this is…”

“The ghost baby is being born.”

Zhong Niangyao’s face turned somewhat grave too, her eyes glued to the movement on Meng Rou’s side.

Watching Meng Rou’s agonizing state, Madam Meng was truly terrified; she looked up to find that Zhong Niangyao had not spared even a glance of sympathy for her.

She wanted to say something, but Mr. Meng stopped her.

Mr. Meng pulled Madam Meng to his side and spoke softly but sternly, “No matter what you want to do now, I must remind you. Our lives, all of us, are in Zhong Niangyao’s hands.”

“If you want to die, that’s your business, but don’t drag me into it. Meng Rou is not your only child; you still have Rui Kai, your son.”

Hearing Mr. Meng’s words, Madam Meng chose to keep quiet for the moment. But seeing Meng Rou’s wretched state, she felt so heartbroken she had to turn her head away, not daring to look anymore.

As time ticked by, Meng Rou’s screams grew weaker and weaker until her belly was nearly completely torn open. A bloody figure crawled out from within.

Looking over, they could even see through the gaps to Meng Rou’s intestines and other organs, all of which had been mangled by the ghost baby.

Finally, the ghost baby was born, it grinned at everyone, lacking the innocence of a child, instead carrying a bloodthirsty air as if, in its view, everyone present was its food.

As for Meng Rou, with a large hole in her stomach, she lay there, unrecognizable as alive or dead.
