Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 246 Barrier
"Wow! It's so beautiful! Cousin, is this really for me?" Gu Tangtang immediately fell in love with the bracelet. It was crystal clear, exuded a noble air, and made her skin look especially fair. It was truly a divine bracelet.

Yang Nianqing nodded, "Don't take it down in Huaiqing City later, or you'll be in great danger!"

Gu Tangtang nodded quickly. On the first day of meeting her cousin, her cousin gave her such an expensive gift and had such a special ability. It was really amazing! She felt a little embarrassed and decided to prepare some gifts for her cousin when she got back.

"Okay, thank you Qingqing!" Gu Rongrong accepted the bracelet. Qingqing was worried about them and even gave them the magic artifact. Gu Rongrong felt her eyes getting hot. Her daughter was really, really good.

Ren Chi and Xie Weiqi both looked at Yang Nianqing in astonishment. Ren Chi was surprised by Yang Nianqing's ability to conjure objects out of thin air, while Xie Weiqi was surprised by Yang Nianqing's spatial magic weapon. Magic weapons with spatial attributes are extremely rare in today's society, and he had never seen anyone possess one. He never expected to witness someone possessing a space today.

Mo Mo leaned close to Yang Nianqing's ear and whispered, "Qingqing, didn't you tell me to observe humans more, watch more TV, and understand human society? People online recommended reading this novel. I've read it, and I think the demon race depicted in it is incredibly realistic. I even wanted to get to know the author. I wanted to ask her if she knew any other demons, but I didn't expect she had already passed away. What a pity."

Other demons? Yang Nianqing glanced at Ren Chi, wondering if he knew more than just other demons. When she approached Ren Chi earlier, she could faintly smell a strange fragrance on him. Although it was very faint now, she could still smell it if she looked closely. It was a scent that did not belong to humans!

Since she was going to rescue Ren Chi's daughter, some of her suspicions should be confirmed.

Fan Ruichen's ears twitched. His powerful mental strength allowed him to clearly hear what Yang Nianqing and the other person were saying. Mo Mo was a demon, and she knew the demon race better than anyone. Could this be related to Huaiqing City?
As dusk fell, during the hour of the demons, when the car arrived at Huaiqing City, the sun was about to set, with only a few rays of sunlight shining on the earth. Yang Nianqing looked up at the ancient city. The buildings of Huaiqing City were antique and elegant, but because of its remote location and the various strange things that had happened here, it had been abandoned, but it did not look abandoned at all.

From what Yang Nianqing sees now, the buildings here seem to have been cleaned and maintained year-round, unlike other abandoned buildings that have been eroded by wind and rain.

"This place is abandoned? It doesn't look like it at all. It looks like someone is collecting money and letting people in for a visit at any time." Gu Tangtang looked around and said, "This place is like a tourist attraction, how could it be some kind of ghost town?"

Fan Meini nodded. What you said makes sense! She thought so too!

This place is called a city, but it's not as big as a city today, though it's not small either. It has everything a city should have. Yang Nianqing stood in front of the city gate, which was not closed. From here, you could see the streets inside. The city was very clean, but there wasn't a single person or living creature in sight, which made it seem very eerie.

Yang Nianqing raised his hand, wanting to reach into the city gate to test if there was a barrier.

"Qingqing!" Fan Ruichen called out hurriedly. What if their ghosts had set up an attack barrier here?
"I'll do it," Fan Ruichen said, raising his hand as well. After all, he had walked among ghosts for so many years in his previous life, and he understood the tricks of haunted houses.

Yang Nianqing nodded. With her here watching over things, nothing should go wrong.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Fan Ruichen reached into the city gate and suddenly felt a tremendous pulling force that instantly dragged him inside.

"Ah Chen!" Yang Nianqing exclaimed and jumped in after him.

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

"Qingqing!" "Qingqing!"

"Qingqing!"

"sister!"

"cousin!"

Immediately afterward, they all ran into the city gate, and once inside, they nervously watched Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen.

"Are you guys okay?"

Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen shook their heads. The force only pulled them in; it didn't do anything else.

"Miss Qing, what do we do now?" Ren Chi and Xie Weiqi ran in and saw that Yang Nianqing and the others were alright. They immediately turned around and touched the unclosed city gate. Although the city gate was not closed, an invisible barrier appeared in the air. Ren Chi tried to knock on it, but he couldn't break through it. He couldn't get through the city gate. It was very likely that his daughter and the others couldn't leave Huaiqing City because of this.

Yang Nianqing channeled his spiritual power and pressed it onto the transparent barrier. The barrier emitted light, revealing its shape so that everyone could see it.

What is this thing? Everyone placed their hands on it and, sure enough, felt an obstacle; they were trapped!

"Oh my god! We can't get out! What do we do? Aunt, cousin? Sister?" Gu Tangtang asked nervously. She was still quite afraid of ghosts. What should she do now? She didn't have any superpowers! How could she protect herself? She should have known better than to come and be a burden.

The little girl was quite scared as this was the first time she had encountered something like this, especially since Gu Tangtang had no special abilities and no way to protect herself.

"It's not a big problem, don't be afraid. I can break this barrier. We can ignore it for now. Let's go inside and find Director Ren's daughter and the crew members," Yang Nianqing suggested, trying to reassure them.

Yang Nianqing was powerful and her words were convincing. Hearing her say this, the group felt a little relieved and nodded in agreement. Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen brought up the rear, while Mo Mo led the way.

Fan Ruichen looked at Yang Nianqing and whispered, "Qingqing, that power is not right." He had spent so many years in his previous life dealing with ghosts, so how could he not know the power system of ghosts? The power of that barrier just now was definitely not from a ghost.

Yang Nianqing nodded. That power was indeed not from a ghost. Ghosts belong to Yin! Their power system is naturally extremely Yin and cold. Although most ghosts nowadays are not afraid of sunlight, they have an innate dislike for such natural things. Moreover, sunlight can't make ghosts disappear like in the movies. Intense sunlight can still harm ghosts. Therefore, ghosts are generally not allowed to appear in haunted houses during the day. Even if they do appear, they choose cool and cold places.

Even under sunlight, the ghostly barrier wouldn't possess such power. This barrier only allows entry, not exit, seemingly designed to trap the ghosts and monsters of Huaiqing City! This is the power of the demon race! It's as if the demon race doesn't want these ghosts and monsters to escape Huaiqing City, but why? Why not simply set it so that neither entry nor exit is permitted?
Upon entering, Yang Nianqing sensed the ghostly aura emanating from all around. What kind of demon was so powerful that it could trap all the ghosts in Huaiqing City?
