Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 269 Nirvana
The man frowned, moved the phone away from himself—this guy was so noisy! He waited until the man on the other end had finished yelling before answering the call again.

"What can I do if she doesn't show herself?" The man shrugged. Although they were paid to help others, the Qingxuan Sect always believed in the concept that those who are not of their kind must have different intentions. If there were evil spirits causing trouble, they could certainly help them solve the problem for a certain fee, but only if they could see the evil spirits.

The evil spirit never showed itself, so he had no way to use his power.

"If she won't come out, then go find her! What are you all good for? Are you just taking my 1000 million for nothing? Are all the people from the Qingxuan Sect useless?"

The man's face darkened, and his voice became noticeably colder. "You may be the employer, but that doesn't give you the right to insult our sect! Don't take yourself too seriously; you have no right to criticize me here."

The man on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, seemingly angered, but he instantly sobered up. How could he tolerate such insults from the Qingxuan Sect? The Qingxuan Sect was a prestigious sect in the capital, and countless people in the capital needed their help. If a dispute arose, he couldn't afford to offend them in the capital. He had truly lost his mind from anger lately.

Who knew that his casual fling with a student girlfriend would cause so much trouble? Qiu Li hired someone to kill someone because of him, and that was bad enough. In the end, it was discovered that Fan Mixue was the daughter of actress Su He. Although actress Su He and he had absolutely no connection, Su He's husband's business had many collaborations with them.

There was even a hint of them becoming competitors. Now, this has happened. Su He went online to publicly condemn him, revealing everything he had done. Although he pushed Ye Ruifeng out as a scapegoat, everyone with eyes can see that he was the one who did these things. Now, the Dong Group is like a mad dog, relentlessly pursuing him! His family's business has been greatly affected, and his stock has instantly evaporated by more than a billion.

He was also scolded by his father, and at this moment, Fan Mixue, who had clearly been scared away, actually appeared in his dream!

He was tormented day and night by that face that had been gnawed apart by fish!
Shen Hongxin took a deep breath. A true man can bend and stretch! As long as he can get through this ordeal, he will endure anything! "Mr. Nie, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive! I was also anxious. That female ghost has already killed two people. I didn't know when it would be my turn. You saw her fierce appearance. I was really worried."

Nie Bin rubbed his nose. He had indeed been too careless. When he saw that ghost and tried to subdue her, he couldn't even defeat her! And then she escaped! It was a great humiliation. Nie Bin agreed and hung up the phone.

Although the police operation seemed to have been leaked, fortunately all those involved were arrested without exception, and not too many innocent people were implicated.

Some police officers were injured, but thankfully no one died; it was just two students who got involved.

One of the policemen glanced at the two people in the break room. "Are they the ones involved in this shootout? I heard they even subdued some of the assassins?"

Another policeman nodded. "Yes, see that girl with the high ponytail? I heard from my colleague that she's like a sharpshooter in a movie, taking down all those killers with just a few shots. She's really good, but she's too impulsive. Look, she's getting a scolding inside."

Speaking of this, the police officer couldn't help but sigh, "Wealthy families really do raise their children to develop in all aspects." After the police escorted the two girls back to the station, they found out their information.

One is the eldest daughter of the Shengshi Group, and the other is the granddaughter of the director of the National Special Operations Bureau. Both are very courageous and capable, and it is rare for a 17-year-old girl to remain so calm in the face of such a situation.

Fan Meini and Gu Tangtang lowered their heads after being lectured by the two policemen inside. They both sighed inwardly. How come they had just escaped danger, and now they had to listen to the police lecture them again?

"This is really too dangerous. Don't be reckless just because you're good at fighting. Those are guns!" a female police officer said earnestly.

"Okay, okay, we won't be impulsive next time," Fan Meini quickly replied.

Gu Tangtang nodded along with her.

The police officer nodded in satisfaction. It seemed the two girls had realized their mistake. "You must trust the police. Today was really dangerous. You must have been frightened. Do you have any family members coming to pick you up?"

Fan Meini and Gu Tangtang nodded quickly, and as soon as they were safe, they sent a message to Yang Nianqing.

"Hello, I am a family member of Fan Meini and Gu Tangtang. Where are they?"

Speak of the devil, and he appears! The two men heard Yang Nianqing's voice and immediately shouted.

"Sister-in-law! We're here!"

"Cousin! Cousin!"

Yang Nianqing ran over to take a look and saw two people sitting there full of energy. Apart from their hair being a little messy, they didn't have a single scratch on their bodies.

Yang Nianqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the two of them were unharmed.

Gu Tangtang and Fan Meini waved to Yang Nianqing with beaming smiles.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Yang Nianqing left with Fan Meini and Gu Tangtang.

In a secluded luxury apartment in Kyoto, a man dressed in black opens his eyes as a copper coin tower on the table collapses.

The man shook his head. "I gave you a chance to escape, but you still got caught. You're really unlucky." His voice was devoid of any emotion.

"What a pity, one less way to obtain a living soul. Who should I ask to help me find a living soul next?" the man murmured, looking at the pile of copper coins.

Those assassins were ruthless and destined to commit many killings. He used them to obtain the souls of the dead, employing special methods to prevent the underworld officials from discovering him. They helped each other and lived in peace until now, when those people were arrested by the police, which has caused him considerable trouble.
The man walked to the table, touched the copper coin with his finger, and the coin made a "sizzling" sound as it touched his finger.

The man looked at his burned fingers, his expression grim.

Ancient bronze coins contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and carry a portion of the nation's spirit. They are usually used as talismans to ward off evil and bring good fortune, or as magical artifacts to suppress demons and evil spirits. But it only absorbs a few living souls! Do these magical artifacts automatically classify him as a demon or evil spirit?! Miao Haoqiong slammed his fist on the table.

"Crack!" The table shattered, scattering ancient bronze coins, talismans, and oil lamps all over the floor.

His hands grew rough, old, and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Miao Haoqiong raised his hands and looked at them in disbelief. How could this be! Was that silly woman's demon core no longer useful?

Miao Haoqiong clenched his fist tightly, and after a few minutes, the aged look faded away as if by magic, and his hand returned to normal.

Miao Haoqiong breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he could hold on for a while longer!
Miao Haoqiong went to the bathroom and looked at the face in the mirror, which clearly belonged to a man in his forties or fifties. Miao Haoqiong's eyes were sinister. He himself was disgusted with his own face now, and it was obviously impossible to trick a demon core using the previous method.

It seems this time, he'll have to resort to force to seize it, but where can he find a powerful demon comparable to that foolish woman? The inner cores of ordinary demons are of no use to him.

Miao Haoqiong frowned deeply. It was already difficult for demons to become sentient, let alone in this era. Finding a demon comparable to a divine beast was extremely difficult.

I wonder if the Phoenix Clan still exists in this era? Miao Haoqiong couldn't help but click his tongue in regret when he thought of the scene when that phoenix disappeared back then. It was such a waste of a precious resource. If he had obtained the phoenix's inner core back then, he might not be facing this situation today.

Thinking of Phoenix inevitably brings to mind that man; he almost died at that man's hands back then.

But as it turns out, he was the one who had the last laugh.

Miao Haoqiong returned to his room, but the quiet environment made him feel somewhat restless. He turned on the TV and aimlessly selected TV programs, while his mind wandered, trying to figure out where to find a great demon with a thousand or even ten thousand years of cultivation.

The TV series playing in the room was the most popular fantasy drama of the moment, with a phoenix as the supporting character. Miao Haoqiong glanced at the TV and frowned. What kind of shows are these days? This doesn't look like a phoenix at all.

The phoenix he saw back then, although he didn't get along with them, he had to admit that it was indeed worthy of being the king of birds and an ancient divine beast. Its temperament and abilities were beyond question. It was just like that silly woman, that it was willing to bear offspring for humans. If only he had tricked that phoenix back then.
If that were the case, wouldn't he be living like this today, so old and ugly? Immortality is just too tempting; who could resist such a temptation?
What happened to Feng Ran?

Is she dead?

She won't die.

She is a member of the Phoenix clan, and the Phoenix is ​​also known as the immortal bird…

She is undergoing a rebirth; she will rise again!

Rebirth! Phoenix rebirth!
Miao Haoqiong heard the conversation between the characters on the TV. Hearing a key word, he suddenly looked up at the TV. The TV was showing a conversation between several characters about the resurrection of the phoenix. It contained the screenwriter's speculation on the phoenix clan's rebirth skills.

The phoenix is ​​an ancient mythical beast, a legend that has been passed down in China for tens of millions of years. Although no one dares to say that they have actually seen it, the phoenix is ​​real, just as if it has really lived for thousands of years. It's just that the phoenix clan has long been extinct and disappeared into the river of time.

Like many other mythical beasts, they no longer exist. However, the Phoenix clan is somewhat special compared to other mythical beasts. Legend has it that the Phoenix can undergo Nirvana, burning itself in flames, facing death and being reborn. After burning in the fire, it is reborn and attains immortality. For the Phoenix, death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life.

However, according to Miao Haoqiong's understanding, the conditions for the Phoenix Clan to undergo Nirvana are extremely harsh, and very few people succeed in Nirvana. That woman said so, which is why the Phoenix Clan slowly became extinct.

But the phoenix was so powerful back then, and the man beside her was even more capable. After the phoenix disappeared, the man also disappeared!
They thought Miao Haoqiong was dead and didn't care about him, which is why Miao Haoqiong survived.

Looking back now, nothing seems right. If that phoenix really died and vanished into thin air, how could that man not drag everything down with her? How could she disappear without a trace? Could it be that the phoenix didn't actually die? Was that man waiting for her resurrection, while the phoenix was undergoing a process of rebirth?

That must be it! That must be it! Given that man's character, he wouldn't do something like committing suicide for love. The phoenix must still be alive!
"Hahahaha... Hahahaha..." Miao Haoqiong let out a sharp laugh. After suppressing it for a while, he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter. Because of the wild laughter, only a small amount of air could enter his lungs, which made him feel a suffocating pain, but Miao Haoqiong became even more excited!
"The phoenix is ​​not dead yet!" Miao Haoqiong's smile twisted as he recalled the rare treasures that had appeared recently. He hadn't gone to snatch them because he knew they were useless to him. He was neither human nor demon, neither immortal nor god, neither ghost nor monster. Although he had lived for thousands of years, he hadn't actually achieved enlightenment. He was only alive because of that foolish woman's demon core. If he ever needed the demon core to work, he would immediately turn into dust, his soul disappearing completely.

Therefore, over the years, the demon core's power has become weaker and weaker. He also needs to absorb a lot of living souls to maintain the operation of the demon core and prevent his body from collapsing. He carefully survives in this world, using all kinds of methods to absorb living souls and escape the eyes and ears of the underworld.

In fact, he was very successful. For many years, the underworld had not discovered his existence, and he lived a carefree life in the mortal realm. However, as the power of his demon core weakened, he became more and more tired of living. He lived in constant fear that one day his demon core would not be able to hold on any longer.

This mundane world is irresistible; he is reluctant to leave, nor is he willing to die and vanish like smoke.

So when he learned that rare and precious materials had appeared in the world, he went to check them out, but they were useless to him.

But every time a rare and precious treasure is born, it is accompanied by extraordinary phenomena. Does this mean that the phoenix is ​​about to be reborn from the ashes? It must be! If he obtains the phoenix's inner core, he can truly live forever! He can live for a very long time! He can even live as long as heaven and earth!

He will regain his youthful appearance! He can get whatever he wants! With his current cultivation level, having obtained the phoenix's inner core, he might even become a god of the new era!

Is it the only ancient mythical beast of our time? Hehehe…

He must obtain the phoenix's inner core! The most urgent task now is to find out if the phoenix has successfully undergone rebirth! If not, everything else is just empty talk.

Miao Haoqiong looked at his palm, where blood flowed quietly through the blue veins. He seemed to feel that woman again, the sensation of fresh blood flowing into his mouth.

Miao Haoqiong wiped his lips. After all, they were related by blood. Could this blood help him find the phoenix after its rebirth?
