Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1577: Bodhisattva Barbarian Above the Golden Lotus

Qibao said: ”There’s a legend in Divine Tomb Village. Beneath Heishan lies shining white water, and above the Golden Lotus is the Bodhisattva of Man.”

”This back mountain is Heishan, our Miao People’s sacred mountain. I remember my mother once said that the Mountain Goddess lives inside Heishan. As long as our people offer sacrifices to her, the Mountain Goddess will keep our village safe.”

Hearing Qibao’s words, even Miss Yue couldn’t care about the Seven-Colored Divine Medicine being snatched away. She touched her chin and analyzed:

”Heishan, white water, Golden Lotus, we’ve seen all of these. This legend should be referring to that Underground Palace. The so-called Mountain Goddess should be the Bodhisattva mentioned in the legend. But it’s strange, we didn’t see any Bodhisattva in the Underground Palace.”

Gu Xu laughed, ”Where in this world would you find a Bodhisattva? The supposed Bodhisattva is probably something the Miao People made up. Or maybe there’s a Bodhisattva statue in the Underground Palace somewhere, meant for offerings, and you actually thought there was a real living Bodhisattva?”

He spoke unintentionally, but those listening took it to heart.

The conversation between Miss Yue and Gu Xu left Huo Sining suddenly dumbfounded.

She recalled that moment in the Underground Palace when the corridor was collapsing due to the flood, and the giant python dragged a coffin out of the burial chamber with all its might.

They saw everything in the Underground Palace, but the one thing they didn’t find was the Bodhisattva statue. There was no Bodhisattva, but there was a coffin.

Above the Golden Lotus is the Bodhisattva of Man, could it be that inside the coffin...

Huo Sining was a bit confused.

The entire underground labyrinth had been destroyed, and groundwater was gushing out uncontrollably. For those trapped inside, the chances of survival were very slim.

Miss Yue coming all the way here turned out to be in vain. The bottle she struggled so hard to find was snatched away right before her eyes. Of course, she felt uncomfortable about it, but there was nothing she could do at the moment. She didn’t even know who the man in the cloak was, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Moreover, inside the Underground Palace, Miss Yue avenged her parents, but the Huang Family might not yet know about it. If she wants to resolve this matter perfectly, she probably needs to put in quite a bit more effort.

”Miss Huo, I owe you my life today. I won’t forget this kindness and will definitely repay it. But first, I need to return to New York to settle some remaining matters. I hope you can understand.”

”What do you plan to do about Mr. Huang?” Huo Sining asked curiously.

Miss Yue’s eyes were filled with resentment: ”Deal with it? One life for two, that’s too easy on him. As for the rest of the Huang Family, they might not be aware, so I won’t hold it against them. But a lot of the properties my parents left behind were encroached by the Huang Family. Those belong to the Yue Family, and I won’t let a single one slip. I’ll take them all back and won’t let the Huang Family get away with it!”

Huo Sining nodded: ”If you encounter any difficulties, just give me a call. I won’t stand by idly if I can help.”

Miss Yue laughed: ”Though I haven’t interacted with you much, I understand your character. You’re not someone who makes promises lightly. I’ll remember what you said. If something comes up, I’ll definitely ask you for help. Don’t find me annoying then!”

Huo Sining shook her head with a smile: ”No way, feel free to bother me!”

After parting ways with Miss Yue, Huo Sining and the other two didn’t stay in Divine Tomb Village and left the back mountain with Qibao.

In a single night, the vast lake turned into an ocean. The people of Divine Tomb Village were shocked and reported it to the police. Upon receiving the news, the police and even many reporters rushed over, all marveling at the sudden appearance of the lake.

However, no one knew what a brilliant maze once lay beneath this lake, nor how many unknown spirits were buried within that seemingly ordinary labyrinth.

Mr. Huang, Fujiwara Seiho, Gao Yuyuan, Long Shan Zhang, all met their end here. Huo Sining wasn’t sure if she should lament these people’s fate. They traveled from afar, only to end up as offerings to the Mountain Goddess. If they had known their fate beforehand, would they have been so determined to come?

The Elixir of Life is indeed an irresistible temptation, but without a life, what’s the use of the Elixir?

Upon returning to Magic Capital, it was already the next day. Huo Sining handed Qibao over to Auntie Li for care, and then she and Gu Xu immediately rushed to the Imperial Capital.

Once in the Imperial Capital, Huo Sining took the unconscious Oil Rat out of her Space and had Gu Xu handcuff him to the car seat before using the Spirit of Azure Pearl to wake him from his coma.

The Oil Rat had inhaled quite a bit of water in the underground maze and had been unconscious for a while. But with the stimulation from Huo Sining’s spiritual energy, his body jolted, and the water in his stomach and windpipe was expelled. After a few coughs, he woke up.

However, upon awakening, his consciousness was still engulfed in the terror of being buried by sand and water moments ago. His limbs began to flail wildly, while he continued to shout, ”Ah, water, so much water, help!”

After shouting a few times, the Oil Rat realized something was amiss. His feather-light body didn’t feel submerged or buried at all. Startled, he quickly opened his eyes.

What he saw immediately frightened him. Two faces, both unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar, were smiling at him, and his hands were tightly handcuffed without him knowing when it happened.

”Am I... dreaming, or am I dreaming?”

The Oil Rat’s face stiffened, he involuntarily swallowed, and he asked instinctively.

Huo Sining’s lips curled slightly as she asked with a smile, ”What do you think?”

Just as she finished speaking, she made a motion with the stun baton in her hand as if to reach towards the Oil Rat. Upon seeing this, he immediately panicked and pleaded urgently, ”Please, no, Miss Huo, isn’t my plea for mercy enough?”

Huo Sining flashed eight teeth with her smile: ”Weren’t you quite capable? How come you’re scared now? How does it feel to be harmed by that Dongyang devil, Fujiwara Seiho? Not pleasant, right? Tell me, for a bit of money, you risked your life; indeed, you’re brave because of your skills!”

Huo Sining’s words immediately reminded the Oil Rat of the terror of being trapped in the maze:

”How was I supposed to know that the Underground Palace would be so complicated? If I had known it was filled with bifurcated corridors, I wouldn’t have gone in, even if you beat me to death. No—”

As he continued speaking, the Oil Rat sensed something was off. He quickly lifted his head to look at Huo Sining:

”How do you know I entered the underground maze? And wasn’t I trapped under the mud and water in that maze? How am I here now?”
