Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1591: Chapter 1575: Cang Hai Transforms into Mulberry Fields

Stone coffin?!

Huo Sining was startled and then remembered that after they entered the tomb chamber earlier, they were so focused on taking that bottle that no one paid attention to the stone coffin.

She had also felt that the material of the stone coffin was somewhat similar to the box she had picked up on the Awa Maru, but because a cloaked man suddenly appeared to snatch the colorful bottle, the whole incident left her forgetting about the coffin.

If she hadn’t seen the giant snake dragging the coffin out, Huo Sining would have completely forgotten that thing.

The giant snake was struggling to drag the stone coffin out, finding it very hard due to the coffin’s size.

Seeing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but smirk and swam towards the stone gate without hesitation. The giant snake, upon seeing Huo Sining, clearly sensed the threat and instantly assumed a defensive posture, opening its blood-red maw as if ready for a deadly fight with her.

However, Huo Sining wouldn’t waste time like this. She directly waved her hand, engulfing both the giant snake and the coffin into her Space.

Having done this, Huo Sining prepared to head back.

To her surprise, on her way back, she unexpectedly found Fujiwara Seiho and his group. They were buried under rocks and drowned, probably having died long ago.

But the Oil Rat was floating in the water, seemingly holding its breath momentarily. Since Huo Sining and Gu Xu had come to the Miao Village precisely to catch the Oil Rat and chase down Old Mr. Zhong, upon seeing the Oil Rat now, Huo Sining didn’t hesitate and collected it into her ring.

As for Fujiwara Seiho’s people, Huo Sining had no goodwill towards them and certainly wouldn’t save them; she wasn’t that kind-hearted.

The water in the passage rushed for a good hour before finally calming down.

However, to her surprise, when Huo Sining finally found an outlet from the passage, smoothly reaching the mechanism array, and opened the stone wall to leave the underground maze, she was shocked to find that in just one day’s time, her location had completely changed.

Even though they had entered the Underground Palace from a cliff stone wall, she found herself now in a giant lake, with underground water flowing slowly beneath and cold, chaotic stones underfoot.

Huo Sining was baffled; she came out of the passage which was supposed to be in the mountain, so how is she here?

Huo Sining was confused, but just as she was about to head back to the shore, she saw a group of people running towards her from a distance. Instinctively, she recited the Invisibility Spell to hide her presence.

This group was the same Three Uncle and Aunt she had seen at Divine Tomb Village, and the rest of the people seemed to be from Divine Tomb Village too. When they rushed to the lakeshore, each of them was stunned with wide eyes.

”Oh my God, what’s going on?”

”The village leader went into the back mountain with people, and then this happened!”

”How did the mountain become a lake, where did this water come from?”

”Third Uncle, what happened? Was it an earthquake?”

”Where did the mountain behind the Sacrificial Forest go?”

Both the Third Uncle and Aunt were shocked, staring blankly at the suddenly appearing gigantic lake, unable to speak for a long time.

The group originally looking for people in the back mountain also gathered at the lakeshore, staring dazedly at the abrupt lake.

”The village leader went into the Sacrificial Forest, but now they are nowhere to be seen, could something have happened?”

”We’ve been warned that the Sacrificial Forest is off-limits, but the village leader wouldn’t listen and brought outsiders in; if anything happens, it’s their own fault!”

”You can’t say that; lives are at stake here, we can’t just let it go. I think we should call the police and let them handle it!”

”This is the Mountain Goddess’s wrath, a punishment for the village leader and his people. They trespassed into the Sacrificial Forest and angered the Mountain Goddess, hence this!”

Upon hearing mention of the Mountain Goddess, the Third Uncle and Aunt seemed to come to their senses. Both knelt down, chanting something unknown, looking at the lake with eyes full of devotion and awe.

Huo Sining stayed hidden in the lake until those people left, and only then did she deal with the individuals in the storage ring.

She already knew who the cloaked man was, so she released him first, fixing her gaze intently on him:

”What’s in that bottle, why did Fujiwara Seiho and Mr. Huang, and even you, go to such lengths to obtain it?”

The cloaked man, evidently aware that Huo Sining had already recognized him, saw no need for further concealment. He directly tore off his cloak, revealing a face and arms covered in scales.

The person in front of her was Mr. Liang, whom Huo Sining had saved at Modu Reservoir previously, but compared to last time, his scales were thicker, and the fish gills on his cheeks were more pronounced, making him look even more grotesque.

”You...”

Huo Sining was instantly shocked, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing his daughter’s expression, Mr. Liang showed a wry smile, pretending to be calm as he asked:

”Do you really want to know what this thing is used for?”

Huo Sining nodded.

Mr. Liang said softly, ”Then take out your hand.”

Huo Sining didn’t understand what Mr. Liang meant, but out of trust, she extended her hand.

However, she had just extended her hand when she saw a glint of cold light. Mr. Liang had somehow produced a sharp throwing knife, which flew straight towards her finger.

Huo Sining didn’t have time to react, only feeling a cold sensation followed by intense pain shooting from her fingertip into her head. Her finger had been slashed by the knife, removing a significant chunk of flesh, and blood poured out instantly, filling the air with a strong smell of iron.

Huo Sining winced in pain, her face twisting as she instinctively stepped back a few paces, looking at Mr. Liang in horror, not understanding his intentions.

Seeing Huo Sining’s suspicion and questioning gaze, Mr. Liang didn’t bother to explain further. He just stepped closer, took out the bottle containing the seven-colored liquid, and casually dripped a small drop onto Huo Sining’s fingertip.

Miracles unfolded instantly.

At the moment the seven-colored drop touched Huo Sining’s finger, the pain vanished, and she witnessed an extraordinarily strange scene.

The wound on her finger, where a chunk of flesh had been removed, began growing new skin at a visible rate. Within mere seconds, the wound healed completely, leaving no sign of injury.
