Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1586: Chapter 1570: Revenge

Hearing this, Miss Yue could no longer control her emotions. She raised her head and looked at Mr. Huang with a ferocious expression:

”So you planned that honeymoon trip to get that book, and you brutally killed him, not even sparing my mother?”

Mr. Huang shook his head: ”I indeed had your father killed, but your mother wasn’t my doing. She jumped off the cliff herself upon seeing your father in trouble.”

Tears flowed uncontrollably from Miss Yue’s eyes, her voice becoming sharp and somewhat hysterical:

”What difference does it make? You didn’t kill Bo Ren, yet Bo Ren died because of you. If my father hadn’t been murdered, would my mother have taken her life?!”

Mr. Huang clearly didn’t think Miss Yue’s mother died because of him; rather, he replied in a reproachful tone:

”I only wanted to get that ’Classic of Mountains and Seas,’ I didn’t intend to kill them. If your father had handed over the book obediently, things wouldn’t have come to this. He can only blame himself for being too foolish, risking everything for a book.”

Upon hearing these words, Miss Yue could no longer control her emotions. Her face twisted, and she looked at Mr. Huang with a cold, even resentful gaze, sneering:

”It seems the one who would stop at nothing isn’t someone else, but you! For some illusory thing, you could even kill your kin. What wouldn’t you dare to do?! No wonder I heard from those tomb robbers that you ate the dead to survive. Why does someone like you still get to live in this world?!”

In the stone cave, Huo Sining and the others hadn’t even had time to digest the information revealed in the conversation. In a flash, Miss Yue suddenly went berserk. Dozens of vines suddenly burst from under her feet, breaking through the sand and stone, recklessly shooting towards Mr. Huang in the corner.

Mr. Huang probably didn’t expect such a situation; it wasn’t until the vines pierced him, nailing him to the stone wall, that he widened his eyes in shock, as if not understanding what had happened, looking at Miss Yue not far from him with disbelief.

”You... you...”

Mr. Huang seemed to want to say something, but his whole body was already riddled by the vines, his organs shattered. As he uttered a few words, blood oozed from his mouth, his body writhing in pain as he started coughing.

After a single barrage, those vines quickly retreated, and without support, Mr. Huang’s body fell from mid-air.

Miss Yue approached him without expression, and coldly said: ”Did you think I couldn’t kill you? Years ago, when I found out several of your businesses were connected to our Yue family, I already started suspecting. If you hadn’t hidden so well, I would have taken your life back then!”

”Did you really think that with a little trickery you’d be invincible? There are still many things in this world you don’t know. You think you’re getting closer to the truth, but in fact, you’re far from it!”

While speaking, Miss Yue suddenly smirked, lowered her head slightly, and in a voice only Mr. Huang could hear, softly recited:

”Beyond Kyushu, above is Yellow Springs, below are the Emerald Abyss, divided into four seas: the west is vast, the east is a chessboard, the north is among the stars, the south is colorful. Beyond the Emerald Abyss, there’s Cang Hai, where a chessboard guards the Netherworld, the extreme north guarded by the Jiaoren...”

Mr. Huang, already on the verge of death, barely alive, suddenly quivered as if in a final moment of clarity upon hearing Miss Yue’s words, abruptly opening his eyes.

Looking, his pupils shrank suddenly, staring in shock and daze at the woman in front of him.

Evidently standing before him was Miss Yue, yet her round face somehow became chiseled.

On the sides of her cheeks, arched gill-like coverings slowly emerged. Her delicate earlobes elongated, becoming slender pointed ears, her long black hair turning green, curling like seaweed, and her eyes sparkled like Sapphires.

This was a completely unfamiliar face, and the appearance of this woman clearly matched the Jiaoren described in ancient books...

Mr. Huang was utterly stunned. For a moment, a sliver of clarity crossed his muddled mind. He struggled to raise his hand, quivering, ”You... you’re not Yue... you, you’re...”

But Mr. Huang had long been severely injured; he realized too late, not even managing to finish his last sentence before his hand fell abruptly, passing away.

Watching as the man died, a hint of pity flashed in Miss Yue’s eyes, but she quickly regained her cold demeanor, looking at Mr. Huang’s dead eyes wide open, and sneered:

”Down below, think about how you’re going to atone to my parents, but I think you may not have the chance. Their path of reincarnation is surely different from yours; don’t soil their Yellow Springs journey!”

With that, Miss Yue gently closed Mr. Huang’s glaring eyes, deftly removed his backpack, extracting a box from within, and took it into her own hands.

When she turned around again, her appearance and hair color had returned to the way they were before, so no one noticed the strange scene that just occurred.

However, the scene of Mr. Huang being killed by the vines was too sudden and unimaginable, already frightening everyone else, especially Master Chen, who had never witnessed such things. He sat down on the ground in fright, trembling uncontrollably, almost wetting his pants.

Huo Sining knew, of course, that Miss Yue used the spiritual energy of the Wood Spirit Pearl. It wouldn’t matter if only Gu Xu and Qibao were present, but Master Chen, who was also there, witnessed it.

Huo Sining didn’t know much about Master Chen, but since Mr. Huang hired him, he was certainly a trusted person. However, now Miss Yue killed Mr. Huang in front of him using the Wood Spirit Pearl’s energy, which is problematic.

Moreover, Huo Sining could see that Miss Yue killed Mr. Huang entirely to avenge her parents; she wasn’t someone who killed the innocent indiscriminately. Master Chen hadn’t done anything heinous, so Miss Yue wouldn’t choose to silence him just because he witnessed her murder.
