Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 397: The Mysterious Hidden World Village (2)_1

"Damn." Shangguan You cursed under her breath. She could clearly feel that no one was following her in secret. Not even Ye Qiu’s breath could be sensed, which meant that Ye Qiu also did not want anyone to know their whereabouts.She wondered if Ye Qiu’s younger brother knew that she was heading to Hidden World Village. Suddenly, the alluring face of Ye Qiu’s younger brother appeared in her mind, along with his words from when he left, "You must wait for me to return so we can go and save Zhuge Feng together." Shangguan You shook her head, casting him out of her thoughts once more.

Ye Qiu’s younger brother wasn’t anyone to her. Why should she wait for him? Besides, she could handle her own affairs. She didn’t want to rely on anyone, especially not Ye Qiu’s younger brother.

"Aren’t you coming in?" Ye Qiu’s cold voice rang out again.

"Got it." Shangguan You pouted, gathered her luggage into her spatial storage, and once again stepped into Ye Qiu’s villa.

Decorated primarily in monochrome, the rigid design, though elegant, was too dull for her tastes—either black or white, devoid of any creativity. Shangguan You sneered inwardly. What kind of home did that guy, Ye Qiu’s younger brother, have?

Thinking of Ye Qiu’s younger brother again, Shangguan You couldn’t help but shake her head, trying to dispel the thoughts. Why did that enchanting man keep popping up in her mind today, and twice at that?

"There is a room upstairs for you to rest in. I’ll be out for a while and will be back by evening. Then, we’ll set off," Ye Qiu said coldly, leaving her alone in the room as his black figure vanished like a ghost.

"Hey!" Shangguan You stomped her foot in anger. What the hell? Just dumping me here like this! If I knew where we were going, I would have gone ahead on my own already!

Shangguan You sensed around and found that there were no other people nearby. Her figure flashed as she quickly entered her spatial realm to find her phone. It looked like any other regular phone, with nothing special about it, and she pressed the power button.

The phone powered up. Looking at it, Shangguan You inadvertently thought of the laptop she used to contact Ouyang Xuan. She carefully memorized the complex roads shown on the map. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NovєlFіre.net

「Meanwhile, in a mysterious place.」

A previously dim surveillance feed suddenly lit up. It should have clearly shown the interior, but all that could be seen was a hazy gray, rendering the view indistinguishable.

"What’s going on?"

"I gave the phone to Elder Meihua. It should be that old man looking at the map, but why can’t we locate his position? This can’t be happening, impossible."

"That old man is really capable, managing to evade our monitoring."

"Keep a close watch on anyone coming and going these few days. I want to be the first to know when Elder Meihua arrives here. Whether the Immortality Pill is real or not, I am going to keep Elder Meihua here."

"Yes."

「Back at Shangguan You’s location.」

She turned off her phone once again and lay down on a Purple Lotus Leaf, sorting through the roads she had just observed while inside her spatial realm. Looking at Lin Mengjie’s sleeping face inside the Crystal Coffin, she let out a deep sigh.

She had tried countless methods but still had no way to wake her. Would it be possible to revive her on the day she gathered all Five Spirit Pearls?

"Mommy, don’t worry, I will definitely wake you up," Shangguan You whispered to herself, plucking a Spirit Fruit and biting into it as she exited her spatial realm.

Although there was a Lin Mengjie by Ouyang Xuan’s side, I still trust my intuition. The Lin Mengjie in the Crystal Coffin is my real mommy; it’s a gut feeling.

She had just left her spatial realm when Ye Qiu, carrying large and small bags, also entered through the front door.

"What’s all this?"

"Didn’t I tell you to rest?" Ye Qiu glanced at Shangguan You and spoke coldly.

"I’m not tired."

"Hmph, I’m going up to rest." Ye Qiu snorted and walked upstairs. SLAM! The door shut behind him.

Shangguan You’s mouth twitched. Really, he’s absurd. Hadn’t he just slept enough this morning? Why sleep again? So weird.

Shangguan You’s figure flashed, and she swiftly left the villa, heading toward Shuiyue Villa. Facing the firmly shut gate, her figure flashed again as she swiftly entered. The wedding portrait on the wall struck her as unbearably glaring. Her hands gently touched it, and once again, the entrance to the secret chamber appeared.

But this time, the elevator inside the chamber was gone. The path ahead was completely blocked, not leading directly to the Shen Family’s secret chamber.

"Earth Power, part for me," Shangguan You commanded softly. The earth on either side automatically parted, creating a narrow pathway just wide enough for a person to pass through.

Looking at the secret chamber she had cleared once again, Shangguan You cast a Clairvoyance Spell, carefully examining the items inside. They were the same as what she had seen last time. However, this chamber seemed to have dropped another ten or so meters deeper into the earth.

"Once I break through to level 6 of the Medicine King Canon, I will definitely come and meet you all. I want to see for myself just how powerful the beings from other planes are," Shangguan You muttered, looking at the Crystal Coffin deep in the earth. I will return here. My current strength isn’t enough, but once I reach the pinnacle, I will definitely come back.

"Earth Power, seal for me. Close all entrances and exits. Don’t allow anyone to enter this place," Shangguan You commanded again. The secret chamber, which had been cleared, was once again sealed with earth by her. Neither those in the Shen Mansion nor Shuiyue Villa would ever dream of reentering this place; even finding it would be very difficult.

Shangguan You took one deep look and left the mysterious secret chamber. Except for me, no one else will be able to find this chamber, nor can they take anything from inside.

"Where did you go?" Just as she entered the living room, Ye Qiu’s cold voice echoed in her ear.

"Out to buy some stuff," Shangguan You rolled her eyes, looking at Ye Qiu, who was dressed in a Tang suit. His formerly handsome face had transformed into a plain and uninteresting one, prompting her to take a few more glances.
