The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 34

Zhang Yanfen steeled herself, closed her eyes, and stabbed down fiercely.

However, instead of the sound of flesh being pierced, she only felt an icy cold hand grab her wrist.

She opened her eyes.

It was Jiang Ci.

“You…” Zhang Yanfen looked at her in confusion. “He’s already like this. If we don’t kill him now, when he wakes up, he’ll kill all of us!”

Mentioning Li Yong’s extreme actions, Zhang Yanfen’s eyes were filled with terror.

Jiang Ci swiftly snatched the bottle from her hand and said calmly, “He deserves to die, but letting him die quickly is too easy for him.”

Chi Che’s face lit up with excitement. “Master Jiang, how do you plan to deal with him?”

Jiang Ci looked at Zhang Yanfen. “First, you need to divorce him.”

Zhang Yanfen was stunned, then burst into tears. “He’d rather die than divorce me. What can I do?”

Jiang Ci glanced at Li Yong, who was about to wake up, and said, “Once you’re divorced, your karmic bond will be severed. Otherwise, as long as your marriage continues, even after death, when you reach the Underworld and before reincarnation, you two will still be considered husband and wife.”

Zhang Yanfen broke down. “Did I dig up his Ancestral Grave in my past life? Why do I have to be his wife even after death? I don’t want that, I’d rather die!”

Jiang Ci said, “That’s why the karmic bond must be severed.”

After death, the soul goes to the Underworld for judgment. After judgment, those who need to atone do so, those who need to be punished are punished, and then everyone lines up to await reincarnation. Before reincarnation, the Yin Min reside in the Underworld.

Some people find their loved ones from their previous life and continue living together in the Underworld.

Jiang Ci had seen cases like Zhang Yanfen’s before.

Men who enslaved their wives while alive shamelessly seek out the women after death, demanding they continue their wifely duties and serve them. If the women refuse, they threaten to report them to King Yama for not obeying their husbands.

Of course, Jiang Ci had already slapped such shameless men straight into Hell.

“Let me ask you, do you have the courage to divorce him?” Jiang Ci asked.

Zhang Yanfen lowered her head, biting her pale lips tightly. “I dream of divorcing that beast, but he won’t agree. What can I do?”

“That’s easy.” Jiang Ci unceremoniously stomped on Li Yong’s hand.

Li Yong, who was already in pain and half-awake, instantly came to, screaming in agony, “You little bitch… let go… I’ll kill you!”

Jiang Ci slowly ground her toe into his fingers.

Ten fingers are connected to the heart-the pain was unbearable!

Li Yong’s face twisted in agony, blood smeared across his face, making him look like an Evil Ghost.

“You damned woman… I’ll… I’ll kill your whole family…”

Zhang Yanfen retreated in terror to the corner.

Jiang Ci said, “The more you fear him, the more arrogant he becomes. The best way to overcome fear is to face it.”

“Come, give him a kick.”

“Bitch, you dare…!” Li Yong howled in pain.

Jiang Ci encouraged Zhang Yanfen to fight violence with violence, but when Zhang Yanfen saw Li Yong’s venomous eyes glaring at her, she immediately lost her nerve, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

“He won’t let my family go…”

“Hehehehehe-” Li Yong laughed menacingly. “You wretched woman, aren’t you going to call 120 and send me to the hospital… If I die, even if I become a Fierce Ghost, I’ll haunt you forever!”

Zhang Yanfen was utterly hopeless.

Chi Che couldn’t stand it anymore. “My friend has a lawyer. Let his lawyer help you-you’ll definitely be able to get a divorce.”

“Even if she’s divorced, she’s still my woman… I won’t let her family go!” Li Yong struggled, trying to crawl over and grab Zhang Yanfen.

Jiang Ci pressed down harder with her foot.
Click.

A crisp snapping sound echoed through the room, accompanied by Li Yong’s anguished scream.

Jiang Ci coldly stepped on his hand, breaking the bone.

“Not getting a divorce, huh? Then how about I break every bone in your body, one by one?”

As she spoke, she broke another bone.

“Ah-”

Li Yong was in so much pain he could barely speak.

Jiang Ci was about to continue.

Li Yong, his face full of terror, nodded frantically, indicating he agreed to the divorce.

“Doctor Chi, patch him up and then take them to get it done.” Jiang Ci was all about swift and decisive action.

Once the divorce was settled, Li Yong’s fate would be even worse.

Li Yong’s eyes were filled with Resentful hatred; he wished he could hack Jiang Ci to pieces and feed her to the pigs!

So what if he hit his own wife?

What business was it of this outsider?

This damned brat actually dared to beat him up like this.

Fine, he’d sign the divorce papers for now.

Once he recovered, he’d make sure that brat and Zhang Yanfen’s whole family died!

Chi Che was completely shocked by Jiang Ci’s ruthlessness as he treated Li Yong’s injuries.

Li Yong’s left hand was mangled beyond recognition, his wrist bone shattered.

It was only thanks to Li Yong’s physical toughness that he remained conscious despite such injuries.

Anyone else would have passed out long ago.

Chi Che could only do his best to treat the wounds so it wouldn’t be obvious Li Yong had been brutally beaten.

Li Yong endured the pain in his head and hand, his face dark as he watched Zhang Yanfen fetch the household registration book, laughing resentfully: “You wretched woman, don’t think you can escape my control just because you found help.”

“Just you wait. I won’t let you go, nor your parents, nor your eldest sister’s family. I’ll chop you all into minced meat!”

Zhang Yanfen’s hand trembled as she held the household book, looking helplessly at Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci gave her a reassuring look, then swiftly tapped two of Li Yong’s acupoints.

Li Yong instantly felt as if he’d fallen into an icy pit, but what terrified him most was that while his body was freezing, his heart felt as if it was being scorched by fire.

The extreme torment of ice and fire made him forget the pain in his head and hand, writhing on the ground in agony.

“You-what did you do to me? Did you poison me?” Li Yong screamed in pain, his face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, his whole body shaking.

Jiang Ci replied coolly, “It’ll flare up every three minutes. You’ll be freed once you two finalize the divorce.”

Li Yong stared at her in terror and hatred.

He’d planned to escape, but hadn’t expected this damned brat to play dirty!

Now, he had no choice but to go.

Chi Che looked at Jiang Ci with a changed expression, whispering incredulously, “Master Jiang, what did you just do to him? Why is he suddenly suffering so much?”

“Nothing much, just temporarily sealed his Fatal Acupoint. If it’s not released within fifteen minutes…”

“What happens?”

“Blood will pour from his seven orifices, and he’ll die on the spot.”

“Holy crap! That’s like something out of a TV drama-can that really happen?”

Li Yong, in agony, banged his head against the wall and roared, “To hell with your TV dramas-just take me to get the divorce!”

Chi Che rolled his eyes. “Serves you right!”

Ten minutes later.

Zhang Yanfen stood dazed at the doorway, clutching the divorce certificate as tears streamed down her face.

Li Yong, after having his Fatal Acupoint released, called himself an ambulance to the hospital. As he left, he spat a wad of yellow phlegm at her feet, snarling, “Just you wait!”
