Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1548: Chapter 1532: Mischief-Maker

Hearing the fear and panic in Qibao’s voice, Huo Sining froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, deciding to forget about the basement altogether and sprinted directly towards Qibao’s room upstairs.

”Qibao, what’s wrong?” Huo Sining asked as she pushed the door open and rushed inside.

Qibao, wearing a cute dinosaur pajama, was pointing fearfully towards the bathroom on one side of his room, his face full of alarm.

Following the direction Qibao pointed, Huo Sining glanced over and was instantly taken aback.

Due to Qibao’s unique physical condition, to ensure that his transformation remained a secret, Huo Sining had specially arranged a room with a private washroom for him, and even installed a bathtub so he could take a bath whenever he wanted in his own room.

But at this moment, what caught Huo Sining’s eye was a Blue Fatty rolling in the fish tank’s bubbles, and even more shocking to Huo Sining was the fact that this Blue Fatty was an... egg?!

An egg? Huo Sining immediately thought of the small colorless glass-type jade she had unlocked from a betting stone last night, in which was embedded a light blue egg identical in size to this thing frolicking in the bathtub!

”Sis, this thing... this thing knocked on my door, but when I opened it, no one was there, so I went back to bed, and then... it came in, slept on my bed, and even... even started swimming in the bathtub!”

Qibao was evidently quite frightened, squeezed behind Huo Sining, watching the egg with both fear and curiosity.

The egg, however, seemed entirely nonchalant, paying no attention to the two people standing nearby, completely engrossed in its own world, sometimes sinking to the bottom and sometimes floating on the bubbles, even bouncing over to the toiletries to press down on a bottle cap, continuously dripping essential oil into the water, as if it particularly liked the scent.

Seeing such a peculiar creature bathing without a care, Huo Sining was speechless, immediately feeling exasperated.

”Don’t worry about it; if it likes bathing, just let it stay there. You don’t have to be afraid of it; this fellow is like us, only it hasn’t hatched yet. Once it hatches, it’ll be just like you.”

Seeing Qibao’s eyes filled with panic, Huo Sining hastily explained to him.

Upon hearing this, Qibao’s eyes lit up: ”Really? No wonder it feels so familiar! But when will it hatch? I really want to play with it!”

Huo Sining said ominously, ”I have no idea, but you can play with it now. I think this guy is so tough it wouldn’t break even if you hit it!”

Just thinking about the devastating state of the kitchen and living room gave an idea of how destructive this thing was. Although she gritted her teeth looking at this precious egg, it wasn’t something she could beat or scold, so she had to encourage Qibao to teach it a lesson.

However, Huo Sining’s plan was obviously going nowhere. Her idea was perfect, but unfortunately, Qibao’s combat power was too weak. He carefully approached, trying to get into the fish tank to greet the creature, but the precious egg suddenly bounced out of the water.

Then, inexplicably, the creature became furious, emitting a strange sound at Qibao, followed by a faint flash of white light, and then Qibao let out a scream.

Qibao, who had just undressed and entered the fish tank, suddenly jumped out, clutching his rear in shock and said nervously, ”It... it electrocuted me! It hurts! My behind is numb!”

Huo Sining was dumbfounded, glanced at the Blue Fatty with a strange look, vaguely understanding the nature of this thing.

This creature must be the inheritor of the Thunder Spirit Bead, right?

Initially, Qibao was delighted to have another partner, but the Blue Fatty was clearly not cooperative, unfriendly towards Qibao, occupying both his fish tank and trying to take over Qibao’s bed.

When Qibao got out of the fish tank and wanted to return to his bed, the Blue Fatty suddenly sprang out of the fish tank, blocking Qibao’s path, even attempting to attack him with lightning again when he didn’t comply.

If it weren’t for Huo Sining’s quick reflexes in pulling Qibao away, poor Qibao might have been electrocuted to a crisp by this thing.

Seeing this situation, Huo Sining felt a headache coming on; it seemed this creature was indeed a troublesome one.

As there were guests outside, Huo Sining didn’t have time to dawdle, taking Qibao out of the room and locking the egg in Qibao’s bedroom, even sealing the windows tightly.

Downstairs, Auntie Li had tidied up the kitchen and living room, and Xie Daoyuan and the others gradually got up. They all heard Auntie Li’s calls and inquired about the situation with concern after coming out.

Not wanting them to notice anything or expose the egg’s situation, Huo Sining vaguely explained, ”I think a night owl got in and made a mess in the living room and kitchen, but luckily nothing important was damaged.”

Xie Daoyuan and the others didn’t doubt her explanation and stopped asking questions, taking their leave after breakfast in the villa.

After sending the guests off and having Auntie Li leave, Huo Sining suddenly remembered that the egg was embedded in that small colorless jadeite, but she distinctly recalled locking that jadeite in the safe last night, so how did it get out?

With that in mind, Huo Sining couldn’t help running to the basement, but when she saw the situation down there, her face changed dramatically, leaving her completely stunned.

In the basement, Huo Sining not only stored some betting stones and gold she had salvaged from the East Ocean Sea, but there were also several valuable jade roughs and Hetian jade in the safe.

However, standing in the basement at this moment, what she saw was a floor covered in jadeite fragments, with the safe itself shattered into several pieces.

The value of those jade roughs and Hetian jade, Huo Sining estimated, was over fifty million.

Unexpectedly, in just one night, her basement turned into such chaos, resulting in significant losses.

She regretted taking out that betting stone, let alone foolishly unlocking that raw material, only to unleash a troublemaker!

Huo Sining finally understood what it meant to drop a stone on your own foot; she was now left with a single expression: wanting to cry but having no tears.
