Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 496: Chapter 492: Spiritual Energy Upgrade

The Water-Repelling Pearl, which had already become dim and lackluster, seemed to be baptized by the scriptures, as it slowly regained its clarity, with strands of Spiritual Energy gradually gathering.

Not only that, the Spiritual Energy was led through her meridians throughout her body, giving her a feeling of enlightenment, as if cleansing her soul.

As the chanting of scriptures grew more urgent, the Spirit of Azure Pearl also seemed to expand several times over, and the Water-Repelling Pearl that had been on her forehead seemed to completely merge into her body.

Huo Sining was immersed in the pleasure of the energy upgrade, feeling comfortable all over, and couldn’t help but close her eyes to slowly feel the changes in her body.

”Huo Sining, Huo Sining, wake up!”

Roused by Song Leyin’s voice, Huo Sining abruptly opened her eyes, only to find herself lying on the cushion, having fallen asleep, with the old monk who had been chanting no longer in sight.

”How did you fall asleep?” Li Xuanbing and Feng Yang were also there, and couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Huo Sining’s bewildered state.

”Where’s Old Fangzhang?” Huo Sining looked around, but the old monk who had been chanting was nowhere to be seen.

”Still asking? He has already left. He was chanting scriptures for you, and you actually fell asleep; aren’t you afraid that the Fangzhang would be angry and would stop chanting halfway?” Li Xuanbing scolded Huo Sining with a glare.

But Huo Sining couldn’t care less about that right now, as she hurriedly turned her thoughts towards the Water-Repelling Pearl.

Indeed, just as she had expected, the Water-Repelling Pearl had regained its previous luster and even seemed more radiant and crystalline than before, with its Spiritual Energy being several times greater.

Not only that, but now she could control the Spiritual Energy as flexibly as moving her own fingers. There was no need to chant the incantation anymore; with just a thought, the Spiritual Energy could be released outside her body, and the magnitude of the released energy no longer required her control.

It was merely from listening to the old monk reciting a few scriptures, and her Azure Pearl energy had been upgraded!

Huo Sining felt both delighted and astonished, and at the same time, something clicked in her mind. If her Spiritual Energy had increased, had her Heavenly Eye improved as well?

Huo Sining looked up at the wall next to her, and as she got up, she casually touched the wall. To her utter astonishment, what she saw left her shocked.

Huo Sining remembered clearly that on the day she activated her Heavenly Eye, she had tested it at the Huang Family. Back then, she couldn’t see through walls for more than two meters, and the farther away, the blurrier the objects appeared.

But at this moment everything was bright and clear before her eyes. Within a five-meter radius of the opposite room, she could see everything sharply, even the handwriting on the notes stuck to the opposite wall was crystal clear.

Huo Sining was overjoyed. To think that listening to the old Fangzhang’s chanting could bring about such a fortunate event, compared to the Opal Glaze and Yue Kiln Secret Color Porcelain she had received earlier, this was the biggest surprise the archaeological expedition had brought her.

Originally, they could have left in the morning, but because they had asked a master to exorcise spirits, Huo Sining and her group didn’t leave Taicheng until the evening.

Gu Xu had not completed his task, as the vehicle transporting the cultural relics had overturned and required emergency handling. Furthermore, he had to continue investigating the whereabouts of the cultural relics traffickers and the relocated relics, so he couldn’t afford to say goodbye to Huo Sining.

After a more than two-hour flight from Taicheng, they finally reached Hongqiao Airport. As they disembarked, Wu Jun was already waiting at the gate.

Xie Daoyuan and Ding Liang were naturally invited by Huo Sining to return to S City together, but the other two professors and students who had come with them were not so fortunate, as there was no more space in the vehicle.

As she hadn’t called in advance, the family had no idea that Huo Sining would come back. The sudden sound of keys opening the door actually gave Auntie Li quite a start.

”Ah, Miss Huo, you’ve finally returned!” Auntie Li exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Huo Sining, ”Why didn’t you call ahead, so I could have prepared some dishes you love? You must be tired. Go take a shower upstairs first, and I’ll cook a few dishes for you.”

Huo Sining quickly stopped Auntie Li, ”There’s no need, Auntie Li; I’ve already eaten on the plane. By the way, where’s Big Brother Yan?”

”Mr. Yan is in the basement. The new year has just passed, and Miss Bai’s studio is so busy it’s bursting at the seams, so Mr. Yan’s workload has also increased. That’s why he has been busy these days,” Auntie Li explained.

Hearing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but find it amusing. Busy? An increased workload? With Yan Feng’s abilities, a few Wind Blades could whip out a batch of jade products in no time. How could he be busy?

However, Huo Sining wouldn’t share this thought with Auntie Li. She didn’t go to the basement to disturb Yan Feng either and, after taking a shower and having dinner, it wasn’t until after nine o’clock that Yan Feng finally came up from the basement.

In fact, Yan Feng had sensed her arrival the moment she reached home, so he wasn’t surprised to see Huo Sining in the living room. But as he was about to go to his room, he abruptly paused, turned back with a look of surprise, and suddenly spoke, ”It seems your trip to Taicheng was quite fruitful.”

Raising her head in astonishment, Huo Sining asked, ”You can tell?”

Yan Feng didn’t say much and turned back to his room. Shortly after, he came out with a box and handed it to Huo Sining.

Huo Sining was puzzled, ”What is this?”

Without saying much, he pushed the item into Huo Sining’s arms.

As Huo Sining opened the box, she saw a tiny garlic-head vase inside, but it was unclear what it contained.

”What is this?” Huo Sining’s eyes revealed her confusion.

”The last time your uncle and aunt came to make trouble at the villa, I did something to them. This is the antidote,” Yan Feng said, his face the epitome of calm and entitlement, showing no signs of remorse for drugging Xu Lian and the others.

Huo Sining was somewhat baffled; this didn’t seem like Xu Lian’s style, ”They haven’t come looking for trouble with you again?”

Yan Feng scoffed, ”Looking for trouble with me? They don’t have the guts!”

An involuntary twitch appeared at the corner of Huo Sining’s mouth, her curiosity piqued about exactly what kind of ’medicine’ Xu Lian and her people had been given.

”They didn’t dare to confront me, so they went to make a scene at your shop. Wu Jun stepped in to teach them a lesson; they’ve been behaving ever since. They’re staying in a rental house in a resettlement area arranged by Wu Jun. You deal with it yourself.”

Yan Feng didn’t deal with the matter for Huo Sining. Although the Huo family members were problematic, they were still Huo Sining’s family. If he intervened, it would be overstepping his boundaries, so he thought it best for Huo Sining to solve it herself.

”I understand,” Huo Sining nodded, glancing at the porcelain vase in her hand but making no move.

With a sigh, Huo Sining felt nothing but disdain for her family members. Those bloodsucking leeches wouldn’t stop unless they drew blood from her, so she might as well resolve everything at this opportunity.
