The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 30

“Oh, right, don’t tell Bo Hanzhou about this yet,” Jiang Ci instructed.

Chi Che understood immediately, grinning mischievously, “I get it. Master wants to give him a surprise scare! Serves him right for sending you to the psychiatric hospital-he deserves it! Master should really give him a good fright, let that atheist know just how terrifying ghosts can be!”

Jiang Ci did want to settle the score with Bo Hanzhou, but now wasn’t the time.

That Green Fiend Evil Child was full of Resentment, and if it harmed someone, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Most importantly, the Merit value of a Green Fiend Evil Child had to be at least four digits.

Helping Doctor Chi deal with the Female Ghost had only earned her a little Merit; catching the Green Fiend Evil Child was much more worthwhile.

Jiang Ci left Chi Che’s house and headed straight for the Western Suburbs Incense and Candle Shop.

She hadn’t returned all night, and Grandma Hao, worried about her, waited in the shop with the Headless Ghost.

Hao You still carried the Ghost-Seeing Talisman. He had gradually gotten used to the Headless Ghost’s frightening appearance and thoughtfully burned him a set of fitting clothes, but the Headless Ghost stubbornly refused to change out of his brightly colored cotton jacket, so Hao You had to give up.

“Will Lady Jiang come back here again?” Song Ran arrived early in the morning with money in hand.

She was still very weak, but couldn’t wait any longer. As soon as she could get out of bed, she hurried to the Incense and Candle Shop to find Jiang Ci, but missed her, learning that Jiang Ci hadn’t returned all night.

Hao You declared confidently, “Of course she will! Master Jiang paid a month’s rent. If she doesn’t come back, I’d be making money for nothing.”

The two humans and two ghosts squatted in front of the shop, waiting until after ten in the morning, when Jiang Ci finally returned carrying a bag of soup dumplings.

“Lady Jiang!” Song Ran rushed forward excitedly and gave her a big bear hug.

Jiang Ci smiled faintly and shared the soup dumplings with everyone.

The Headless Ghost had no mouth to eat, nor could he absorb the aroma of food, so he squatted in the corner, feeling aggrieved.

Song Ran’s pale face gained a bit of color as she respectfully took out the sixty-six thousand yuan she had prepared and solemnly handed it to Jiang Ci.

“Lady Jiang, I’m truly sorry for what happened at the hospital last time. On behalf of my grandfather and father, I sincerely apologize to you!

I’m sorry!

I hope you can forgive their ignorance and not hold it against them. In the future, they’ll definitely understand that you’re a true Metaphysics Master!”

Song Ran had experienced it herself and knew just how powerful Jiang Ci was.

In this world, offending a Metaphysics Master who commands both Yin-Yang is a terrifying thing.

The abilities and means of a Metaphysics Master are beyond the imagination of ordinary people like them.

With just a flick of her finger, she could easily crush them.

So, she had to formally apologize to Jiang Ci on behalf of her family, hoping Jiang Ci would let bygones be bygones and forgive her elders’ ignorant mistakes.

Jiang Ci looked at her, hands presenting a thick stack of cash, her head bowed respectfully.

“I won’t take back what I said. From now on, the fate of the Song Family, whether life or death, has nothing to do with me.”

She only took the six thousand five hundred yuan owed by Song Youlin.

The rest of the money wasn’t hers, so she didn’t take a single cent.

Song Ran was startled and hurriedly asked, “Lady Jiang, do you mean my Song Family is facing great calamity?”

“Please, Lady Jiang, show us a way out! Song Ran will kneel before you!”

No matter how much Song Ran resented her family’s lack of understanding, they were still her blood relatives. She couldn’t just watch her family suffer or the Song Family decline.

She quickly knelt before Jiang Ci.

The grandmother and grandson nearby munched on soup dumplings, watching the drama unfold.

Jiang Ci simply said, “I’m not the only one in the world who understands the metaphysical arts.”

The meaning was clear: seek someone else.

Song Ran felt like crying inside.

Who could possibly be as powerful a Metaphysics Master as Lady Jiang?
Unfortunately, the ignorant elders offended Lady Jiang.

It was their own fault that Lady Jiang ignored them.

Song Ran lowered her head in deep guilt. “Thank you, Lady Jiang.”

“Your Soul is unstable. Come here, I’ll help you stabilize it.” Jiang Ci raised her hand.

Song Ran quickly got up and came before her.

Jiang Ci pressed her fingers together and, with lightning speed, tapped several important acupoints on Song Ran’s body.

“Just unblock the key points.”

“Thank you, Lady Jiang!” Song Ran felt the exhaustion throughout her body suddenly vanish, leaving her feeling light and refreshed.

Hao You saw that her complexion had improved and shamelessly moved closer to Jiang Ci, saying:

“Master, look at my face-it’s so sallow. Why don’t you tap me a few times to improve my complexion too?”

Jiang Ci replied irritably, “If you keep staying up late playing games, your complexion will get even better.”

“Really!” Hao You exclaimed in delight.

Grandma Hao swung the Headless Ghost’s hand and gave him a solid whack. “You brat, are you missing a screw? Master means you should sleep more and stay up less!”

Jiang Ci asked Grandma Hao, “Do you sell Peach Wood in the shop? Preferably Lightning-Struck Peach Wood.”

Grandma Hao shook her head. “No, but there’s a Peach Grove about three kilometers away. Master can go check there.”

Hao You volunteered enthusiastically, “I can take Master there!”

After that, he drove out in a flashy convertible Three-Wheeler.

The moment Jiang Ci and Song Ran saw the Three-Wheeler, their jaws nearly dropped.

Because this Three-Wheeler was just so damn ‘cool’!!

Not only was the body painted in garish colors, but it was also strung with multicolored LED lights. As soon as the accelerator was pressed, a thumping DJ track blasted out, deafeningly loud, audible from eight streets away. The dazzling lights even flashed in sync with the music’s rhythm.

The most terrifying part was that the back of the Three-Wheeler had a pair of black wings, each over half a meter long.

And they could flap up and down!

Hao You sat in the driver’s seat, tossed his flamboyant red hair, and grinned proudly. “Master, please get in! I’ll make you the coolest person on this street!”

Jiang Ci: “…”

Silence is tonight’s Cambridge Bridge…

Honestly, if this thing crashed into her and left her disabled, she’d crawl ten kilometers away before daring to die.

Hao You kept inviting, “Master, come on up! What song do you like? I’ll play it for you!”

He switched to another DJ track.

“Old Driver Take Me, I want to go to the provincial city… ah le le~ ah le le~ ah ah le le~”

The addictive music exploded down the street.

Jiang Ci: “…”

“No thanks, walking keeps me healthy.”

She practically fled!

Song Ran caught up. “Lady Jiang, I drove here. Let me give you a ride!”

Jiang Ci glanced at the Mercedes parked by the roadside. Before she could decide, the ‘Old Driver Take Me’ music came chasing after her.

“Give me the keys!”

Without another word, she rushed over, opened the car door, jumped into the driver’s seat, and sped off with Song Ran!

Hao You watched the car zoom away, then looked thoughtfully at his Three-Wheeler. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

“It must be because my car doesn’t have a roof that Master Jiang wouldn’t ride it. Girls are afraid of getting tanned.”

“Master Jiang, wait for me to install a roof. Next time, I’ll take you wherever you want to go!”

“What color should I paint the roof? Girls probably like pink, right? I’ll hang a few pink light chains, and weld a cute pair of cat ears on top. That will definitely win Master Jiang’s heart!”
