The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 26

The Gold Chain Man quickly caught on: “You mean Jiang Wan, not the Jiang Family’s real daughter?”

“But Madam Jiang has already confirmed it. She’s the real one, and you’re just talking nonsense.”

Jiang Ci looked at him as if he were an idiot. “Anyway, I’ve said what I needed to say. Do what you want.”

She simply turned around to look for the Evil Ghost.

Only then did the group scramble out of the water, collapsing on the shore, shivering like dogs.

“Boss, what if she’s just tricking us?”

The Gold Chain Man narrowed his eyes. “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once we verify it.”

“How do we verify it? The Jiang Family is loaded in Jiangbei, and we can’t even get close to them.”

“You’re dumb. Just find someone who can get close.” The Gold Chain Man squinted and said, “As long as we get a strand of hair from Madam Jiang and Jiang Wan for a DNA test, the truth will be clear as day.”

“If Jiang Wan really is a fake daughter, we’ll never have to worry about money for the rest of our lives!”

Jiang Ci was right-rich people care most about their reputation. If they find out Jiang Wan is a fake, the Jiang Family will definitely pay a hefty hush money.

Then he’ll finally have enough to buy a real Big Gold Chain, at least three jin to hang around his neck. Let’s see who dares laugh at him then!

…

Night fell.

Artificial Lake Park was lit by only a few dim streetlights, most areas plunged into darkness.

At night, the place was eerily quiet, as silent as Silent Hill.

But in Jiang Ci’s eyes, it was a different kind of scenery.

Wandering Ghosts began to appear.

Seeing her alone, some ghosts deliberately tried to mess with her.

Suddenly rolling stones, swaying branches, flickering streetlights, and gusts of chilly wind.

Jiang Ci stared at the ghost in front of her, who was pursing its lips and blowing cold wind at her, her gaze dark: “Did you eat a dead rat? Your breath stinks.”

The ghost hadn’t expected her to see it and was startled, awkwardly covering its mouth.

“Let me ask you something. Have you seen an Evil Ghost with heavy Resentment?” she asked politely.

The ghost shook its head honestly. “Haven’t seen an Evil Ghost with heavy Resentment, but I did see a living handsome guy with a lot of Resentment.”

“Where?”

“Over there.” He pointed deeper into the park.

“Thanks.”

Jiang Ci hurried over.

The deeper she went, the fewer streetlights there were-none at all in that area.

The temperature around her dropped significantly.

In the darkness, Jiang Ci couldn’t see clearly at first, but the person was sitting right atop the tall artificial rock formation, so conspicuous it was impossible to miss.

Looking at his back, Jiang Ci felt he looked familiar.

The closer she got, the more familiar he seemed.

“Bo Hanzhou?”

Why was he here?

Jiang Ci called out.

Bo Hanzhou, as if deaf, sat on the rock formation with his back to her, completely motionless.

“Don’t tell me he’s dead?”

Jiang Ci remembered he was due for a bloody disaster these three days and quickly climbed up.

Just as she got up, Bo Hanzhou’s head twisted toward her at a mechanical, terrifying angle.

Jiang Ci: “…”

Alright, now she was sure this guy was possessed by a ghost.

And most likely by that escaped Evil Ghost.

Even the Resentment was suppressed, and he acted just like a normal person-his level was higher than she’d expected.

“Why did you lure me here?” Jiang Ci wasn’t stupid. From the first sign, she knew he’d been leading her this way.

Bo Hanzhou’s whites of his eyes were gradually overtaken by blackness, his eyes turning pitch-black, staring at her intently.
Even though he was possessed by an Evil Ghost, this guy was still so strikingly handsome. The darkness in his eyes only made him exude a kind of sinister, wicked charm…

Jiang Ci pressed her forehead. “Get out of his body.”

“Sister, do you want to play with me?” Bo Hanzhou suddenly spoke, but the words came out in a childish, milky voice.

Jiang Ci: “?”

An Evil Child was possessing him.

Little Ghosts were the most troublesome.

Seeing she didn’t respond, Bo Hanzhou’s lips curled up bit by bit, splitting all the way to his ears, revealing a gaping bloody mouth, blood gushing out.

The scene looked a bit like a puppy drooling.

Jiang Ci: “…”

Alright, she took back what she said about him being handsome.

“You little brat, stop ruining his good looks!”

Jiang Ci knew it was an illusion, but it felt insulting to that face, turning it so terrifying and ugly. She didn’t like it.

“Then does Sister want to play with me?” Bo Hanzhou withdrew the terrifying look, returning to his handsome appearance, his expression turning innocent as he gazed at her.

Seeing she still didn’t speak, he crawled over and kept rubbing his fluffy head against her hand.

Jiang Ci never trusted Evil Children. She grabbed his hair, intending to beat the Evil Child out of him.

The Evil Child suddenly struggled fiercely, opening his mouth and biting hard into the back of her hand.

Jiang Ci slapped him backhanded!

A half-human-tall Evil Child instantly floated out of his body, giggling sinisterly as it drifted away.

Jiang Ci checked Bo Hanzhou, who now had two streams of nosebleed hanging from his nose.

After confirming he was fine, she went after the Evil Child.

“Sister, come chase me~ Hehehe~~~”

Wherever the Evil Child passed, a fierce wind blew, scaring the Wandering Ghosts into hiding.

Jiang Ci could only hate that she was now in a mortal body, unable to step on her own feet and fly up to catch him.

She ran while pulling out a Talisman, quickly drawing with her own blood and sending it out.

Unexpectedly, the Talisman was crushed by thick Resentment halfway through.

“It’s a Green Fiend Evil Child.”

Ghosts are said to be weakest in gray and white, and most ferocious in green and red.

They are divided into ranks.

There are five stages: Wandering, Resentful, Evil, Fiend, Fierce.

Wandering is the lowest, such as wandering souls, Wandering Ghosts, and stray ghosts. These have little harm and little Resentment, the most ordinary.

Resentful includes resentful souls, wronged ghosts, water ghosts, etc.

Evil is more powerful, including Evil Ghosts and fierce ghosts.

Fiend is higher than Evil Ghosts, especially Green Fiend Ghosts, which even Ghost messengers have trouble catching.

Fierce is the most powerful, with high destructive and killing power. Among them, Red Fierce Ghosts are the most famous, extremely ferocious, with deep Resentment, harming indiscriminately.

This Evil Child was a Fiend, called the Green Fiend Evil Child.

The Green Fiend Evil Child had at least several hundred years of cultivation.

With her current toothpaste-squeezing level of spiritual power, she couldn’t gather enough energy to draw a stronger Ghost Suppressing Talisman, and could only watch as the Green Fiend Evil Child flew farther and farther, until it disappeared from sight.

Jiang Ci stopped, her gaze icy as she looked at the bite on the back of her hand.

The skin was broken and bleeding, but it was nothing serious.

“Green Fiend Evil Child, I won’t forget you.”

*

On the highest hotel rooftop.

The Green Fiend Evil Child landed, kneeling respectfully on the ground, spitting the mouthful of fresh blood into a Bronze Vessel, and said with head lowered, “Master, I have brought the item.”

At the edge of the rooftop stood a tall, imposing Shadow.

The Shadow looked down toward the artificial lake, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

“Jiang Ci, you still have the nerve to come back?”
