The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 37

Li Yong was utterly dumbfounded after hearing everything, collapsing and screaming, “I’m not going to Hell! You wretch, I’ll tear you apart-”

He struggled, black mist pouring out endlessly.

He was on the verge of losing control.

White Impermanence calmly knocked him on the head again.

Li Yong’s Soul was fixed in place once more. His eyes, filled with resentment, stared fiercely at Jiang Ci, suddenly noticing a little one standing behind her.

She looked familiar.

It seemed to be his eldest daughter, Pandi.

“Big girl, is that you? Hurry and save your father-”

Hearing the demonic voice calling her, Pandi trembled all over in terror, curling up behind Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci waved her hand coldly, “Xiao Bai, take him away.”

“Yes, my Lady~” White Impermanence threw out the Soul-binding Chain, which instantly locked onto Li Yong’s Soul and dragged him away.

Pandi watched as her beastly father disappeared into the darkness, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Thud!

She knelt directly before Jiang Ci.

“Thank you, Sister, for saving my whole family! I thank you on behalf of my sisters for your immense kindness!”

Pandi sobbed uncontrollably. The mountain that had weighed on her was finally lifted, and she was free at last!

Jiang Ci took her little hand, “Come on, let’s go back and tell your sisters the good news.”

“Mm!”

On the deep, dark Yin-Yang Road.

White Impermanence dragged Li Yong along with the Soul-binding Chain.

Suddenly, a cold wind carrying fierce Fiend energy swept in from behind.

“What Little Ghost dares to act up before Lord Bai? Show yourself!” White Impermanence scanned the darkness, rebuking coldly.

“Jie jie jie jie jie…”

Sinister, low children’s laughter mixed with a strange aura echoed from all directions.

White Impermanence grew alert, gripping the Soul-binding Chain in a defensive stance.

“Jie jie jie jie jie… jie jie jie jie jie…”

The terrifying laughter grew louder and more piercing.

Fiend energy filled the air.

White Impermanence knew the intruder meant trouble, and lingering would only bring him harm.

He immediately tried to drag Li Yong away.

But the Soul-binding Chain suddenly loosened-he pulled at nothing.

“Where is he?!”

White Impermanence, alarmed, withdrew the Soul-binding Chain, only to find Li Yong had vanished without a trace.

The terrifying laughter disappeared as well.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

White Impermanence’s face darkened, “Damn, the Evil Ghost has been snatched away.”

“Ahhh, Lady Jiang is going to skin me alive!”

Thinking of Jiang Ci’s myriad methods for dealing with Evil Ghosts in Hell, he couldn’t help but shiver.

White Impermanence urgently contacted nearby Ghost messengers to help search for Li Yong’s Soul.

Meanwhile, at the Jiang Family.

Upon learning that his son and daughter-in-law were in trouble, Jiang Shou hurried back from the mountain Taoist Temple.

He saw his son Jiang Fu paralyzed in bed, and his daughter-in-law blind in one eye.

Jiang Shou was furious, “Who did this?!”

Jiang Wan answered truthfully, “Grandpa… it was Xiao Ci.”

“Wasn’t she supposed to be a fool? How did she go mad?” Jiang Shou frowned.

Jiang Wan exaggerated the events of the family banquet to him.

After listening, Jiang Shou’s face turned ashen, slapping the table in anger, “That foolish girl is completely out of control!”

“Dad, we should never have kept that cursed child. Look what she’s done to our family! You said she was blessed, but where’s the luck? All I see is misfortune!” Ye Shuhua complained.

Jiang Shou glared at her, “Woman’s nonsense, what do you know?”

“Didn’t I tell you before I left to take good care of her? You’ve abused her all these years-now that she’s awake, who else would she come after?” Jiang Shou said darkly, “Go and bring her back.”

Ye Shuhua and Jiang Wan were both stunned.
“Dad! Why are you still trying to bring her back?”

Jiang Shou said coldly, “Whether the Jiang Family can become the number one wealthy family in Jiangbei, or even step into the circles of the Imperial City, all depends on her!”

“You useless thing, how dare you drive her out! I don’t care what method you use, you must bring her back.”

Ye Shuhua was so angry she almost lost control, “Dad, don’t tell me you stayed in that Taoist Temple for a few years and started believing those charlatans’ nonsense? Jiang Ci is just a lunatic. How could a madwoman possibly affect the future of the Jiang Family?”

Jiang Shou’s old face turned ashen, and he said expressionlessly, “This is the golden prophecy of Master Feng Qingyang!”

“It was really Master Feng who said that?!” Ye Shuhua was both shocked and delighted.

Feng Qingyang was a renowned Metaphysics Master in the country, his skills in divination and fortune-telling were second to none.

Countless prestigious families would offer fortunes just to get a single word from him, but most couldn’t even get that.

Back when she gave birth to Jiang Ci, she almost died from a difficult labor-it was Master Feng Qingyang who saved her life.

Moreover, at that time, the Jiang Family was being suppressed by competitors and was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was also Master Feng who saved the Jiang Family with just one sentence, bringing them back from the brink!

Master Feng Qingyang had saved both her and the Jiang Family.

Ye Shuhua no longer doubted it, but the thought of having to face Jiang Ci’s ugly face in the future made her extremely uncomfortable. “Dad, why not just arrange for her to live outside? Why must she come back home?”

Jiang Shou shot her a glare. “Jiang Ci is your biological daughter, after all. Why do you dislike her so much?”

Ye Shuhua gritted her teeth in hatred. “She blinded one of my eyes, and your son-she made him paralyzed. With a daughter like that, how could we possibly want her?”

“I’ve already used my connections to find Su Ningxue. She promised to come in the next couple of days to treat my son,” Jiang Shou said.

Jiang Wan’s eyes lit up. “So Grandpa and I were looking for the same person. I heard the Longcheng Su Family has practiced medicine for generations, and only this Su Ningxue was accepted as the last disciple of the Divine Doctor Bai Chujiu. She received Bai Chujiu’s personal teachings from a young age, and now, at only eighteen, she can stand on her own. No matter how difficult the illness, patients treated by her always recover. That’s why she’s so sought after, and everyone in the circle respectfully calls her the Little Divine Doctor.”

“Yes, that’s her. She inherited her master’s skills. With her here, my son will definitely recover and be lively again.”

Jiang Shou looked at his paralyzed son, who could only babble, with deep sorrow.

Both his son and daughter-in-law had been ruined by that wretched girl, Jiang Ci.

If the Jiang Family didn’t need Jiang Ci’s luck, how could he possibly tolerate a fool like her living until now, disgracing the Jiang Family!

Once the Jiang Family rose to the top and entered the true upper class, he would settle all accounts with Jiang Ci!

At night, outside the Incense and Candle Shop.

Jiang Ci, who had just seen off the four sisters, didn’t expect to run into Ye Shuhua here.

Ye Shuhua got out of her luxury car, looked coldly at the place Jiang Ci was living in now, and snorted through her nose.

“I thought you found some great place to go, that’s why you left so arrogantly. Turns out you’re just hiding in such a wretched place.”

Jiang Ci’s lips curled slightly, and she retorted bluntly, “You just lost one eye-do you want to become mute as well?”

Ye Shuhua’s single eye widened, her face twisted with resentment, but she finally held it back and said coldly, “Grandpa is back. He wants to see you.”

Jiang Ci didn’t even think about it. “Not interested.”

“If Grandpa hadn’t kept you back then, you’d have died long ago!”

“Then why didn’t you let ‘me’ die? Wasn’t it because you had something to gain?”

Jiang Ci didn’t give her any leeway, responding calmly and confidently.

Ye Shuhua was furious. “Are you going or not?”

“He wants to see me?” Jiang Ci looked at her with utter contempt. “Then let him come here himself.”
