Reborn As Super Heiress

Such an interruption occurred, and the group’s evening bonfire party naturally couldn’t continue. However, with Huo Sining’s emergency treatment and the aid of Spiritual Energy, Oil Rat was considered to be out of life-threatening danger.

They cooked the fish caught in the afternoon, and everyone had a relatively sumptuous seafood dinner. After filling their stomachs, they packed up the tents and reboarded the yacht.

Su Jinyuan and Wu Jun were worried about Oil Rat’s health, thinking they should return to get him to the hospital for emergency treatment before discussing other matters. But Huo Sining and Yue Shuwen were very clear that with their Spiritual Energy, Oil Rat definitely wouldn’t die anytime soon.

Besides, Huo Sining always felt there was something suspicious about Oil Rat being here and wanted to wait until he woke up to ask what really happened. If they sent him to the hospital, with this old fox’s slyness, he would definitely keep silent, and nothing would be revealed.

While he was still with them, they might be able to extract some useful information from the old fox’s mouth.

Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan liked to be part of the action, and upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, they suspected there might be more to this and fully supported Huo Sining’s approach.

The other children were more reckless and always followed Huo Sining, so they too raised both hands in agreement, while Gu Xu endlessly doted on his wife, which meant Wu Jun and Su Jinyuan’s opinions were completely ignored.

Of course, Huo Sining wasn’t entirely unconcerned about Oil Rat’s injuries. In fact, after his body was repaired by Huo Sining’s Spiritual Energy, his physical condition was absolutely not worse than before. Just to keep things covered up, Huo Sining didn’t heal the superficial skin injuries, so he still seemed a bit frightening.

But in reality, it’s only a minor flesh wound that could heal by applying some ointment from any clinic. As for blood loss, it’s akin to donating blood on the street; you can only replenish with iron and nutritional supplements, as Spiritual Energy alone cannot solve it.

Oil Rat was indeed tough; maybe all those years of being a tomb raider and always digging tunnels and exploring ancient tombs had strengthened his physical condition. Less than two hours after fainting, he woke up on his own.

When he first crawled out of bed, he was somewhat dazed, unable to figure out where exactly he was, his eyes filled with confusion. Seeing Qibao guarding by the bed, he instinctively asked, ”Kid, is this Yama’s Palace or Reincarnation Path?”

Qibao lifted his head and gave Oil Rat a disdainful look, similar to looking at an idiot, and said, ”Wait here; I’ll get my sister over!”

Oil Rat was taken aback, thinking, could it be that the old ancestor had always misunderstood, and Yama was actually a woman?

It wasn’t until Huo Sining came in after pushing the door open that Oil Rat came to his senses and realized he wasn’t in the underworld but had been saved.

”Why is it you?” Oil Rat couldn’t help but ask.

After asking, a vague image flashed through his mind, recalling that before he fainted, he did see the shadow of a woman. It seemed this woman was indeed Huo Sining.

This woman had saved him again! Oil Rat was really at a loss for words; this Huo Sining was undoubtedly a valuable person in his life!

Huo Sining was also a bit frustrated: ”I had the same question; why do you show up in such miserable condition repeatedly in my hands? Oil Rat, you’re quite good at picking your moments!”

Oil Rat felt embarrassed but wasn’t ungrateful. He knew that without Huo Sining this time, he would certainly have been doomed, so he solemnly said:

”Miss Huo, thank you for your rescue. My worthless life, Oil Rat, is not valuable, but you took pity on me and saved me repeatedly. If you ever need help, just ask!”

Huo Sining lazily glanced at Oil Rat and waved her hand, saying, ”I have plenty of capable people at my disposal, so I really don’t lack help. Besides, if I need you, you also have to be in a position to help. What can you offer, tomb raiding or trafficking artifacts?”

Huo Sining’s words were nothing short of sarcastic, making Oil Rat’s face turn red, with an embarrassed expression.

Huo Sining was not interested in beating around the bush with Oil Rat and directly asked, ”Speak, what happened?”

Oil Rat was very cunning, and as soon as Huo Sining saw him, she knew there was definitely trouble. She guessed his appearance at sea was most likely abnormal. As expected, when she posed the question, Oil Rat’s expression froze, his eyes flickered, and he stammered:

”I just took a ride on someone’s boat, didn’t... didn’t buy a ticket, was... was thrown off.”

Huo Sining’s eyes instantly showed coldness: ”This excuse is too terrible; you think you’re fooling a child? Just so you know, my husband and I are both soldiers, always sticking to our promise. If you don’t explain clearly, I can guarantee you’ll be sent to the police station first thing tomorrow morning. You won’t need to explain to me then—just talk to the police.”

Oil Rat knew he couldn’t escape this ordeal, so he simply stopped concealing and, closing his eyes, said with a determined expression:

”I was set up, partnered up, got my hands on a Medicine King Cauldron. We agreed on a price with someone and arranged to transact at sea. But that person broke the rules, took the item, didn’t pay, and even captured me and my partner.”

”That person detained my partner and me on the ship and attempted to extort information through violence. It’s been three days; I escaped during a moment of rest from those people. After getting away, I drifted at sea for a whole day, almost losing hope, unexpectedly running into you guys.”

Huo Sining didn’t feel much sympathy for Oil Rat’s words, only commented indifferently: ”A transaction at sea? Don’t dress it up civilly; it’s smuggling. That Medicine King Cauldron must be something that can’t be brought through legitimate channels. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be sneaking around like this. No wonder they played dirty; you and your partner were victims of your own greed. I see you both brought this upon yourselves.”

Oil Rat didn’t argue with Huo Sining’s statement and even nodded in acknowledgment:

”Indeed, it’s due to our greed. I have no intention of denying it. But, since you know about this, I won’t hesitate to elaborate a bit more: you’re in for a surprise if you think you can stand aloof.”

”I know you’re Zhou Shitao’s disciple, and that Medicine King Cauldron came from Luofu Mountain, rumored to be the cauldron used by Immortal Geezer Ge Hong during the Jin Dynasty. My partner and I tested it privately at a testing center, and the carbon-14 reaction indeed shows it dates back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty!”
