Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 278 The Auspicious Beast Bai Ze
The vine snapped, and Xu Anyu was thrown out by the force, crashing heavily to the ground!

Who is this beast? Is this how you give a greeting gift? What is his connection with their family?
"An Yu! Are you alright?" Xu Nuofei exclaimed in surprise!
"I'm fine!" Xu Anyu quickly got up. He had only minor scratches, but this wild beast, which he didn't know what kind of creature it was, was not friendly at all and was trying to kill him at every turn. What had he done to offend it?

"Disgusting smell. I didn't expect that phoenix had been dead for so long! And there are still descendants left in the world!" Bai Ze sneered, looking at Xu Nuofei with unfriendly eyes.

Xu Nuofei's eyes were dark. This thing kept saying that they were descendants of the phoenix, and that their family had the Phoenix True Fire. Such a superpower inheritance, and his sister also said that their ancestors were a Taoist family. What on earth was going on?
Bai Ze and Phoenix had a grudge. So many years had passed, and Phoenix had long since disappeared and died. Although he shouldn't vent his anger towards Phoenix on her descendants, he didn't care about the lives of these humans, let alone the descendants of Phoenix who had been around for so many years! Their bloodline was already so thin that it was practically nonexistent; they were just ordinary humans! So what if he killed them?
Seeing that Bai Ze was truly intent on killing, Fan Mixue quickly stepped in front of him: "Bai Ze, are you crazy? Do you want to kill them? They are just ordinary humans! Are you still the auspicious beast in Chinese legends?"

Bai Ze is a mythical beast in Chinese mythology. It knows the names, appearances, and exorcism techniques of all ghosts and monsters in the world. Therefore, it has been worshipped as a divine beast for exorcising ghosts and as an auspicious omen since ancient times.

It was first recorded in Ge Hong's "Baopuzi", not in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as rumored online.

Especially during the medieval period, the veneration of Bai Ze was even more profound.

At that time, the book "Bai Ze Tu" was very popular, to the point that almost everyone had a copy. The book recorded the names, appearances, and methods of exorcising various gods and monsters, and was accompanied by illustrations of the gods and monsters. Whenever people encountered a monster, they would look for it in the illustrations.

In Zen Buddhist sayings, one often finds sayings such as "If there is a Bai Ze picture in the house, the monsters will disappear on their own," "Why hang a Bai Ze picture if you don't hang a talisman behind your elbow?" and "If there is no Bai Ze picture in the house, there will be such monsters."

People hang pictures of Bai Ze on the walls or paste them on the doors to ward off evil spirits.

At that time, there was also a custom of making "Bai Ze pillows," which were pillows made in the shape of Bai Ze for sleeping, with the intention of warding off evil spirits.

The "Baize Flag" was also a common banner in military uniforms and equipment. People even named themselves "Baize," resulting in many people with the name "Baize."

This knowledge came from the internet. She once wanted to write a mythological novel, so she specifically learned about the mythological stories that have been passed down in China since ancient times, including the legend of Bai Ze.

Bai Ze is highly respected in China. Bai Ze and ghosts are originally on opposite sides, so she had no complaints about Bai Ze dealing with her. At most, she would complain a little. Bai Ze helps people he shouldn't help without distinguishing right from wrong, but now it seems that this is not the case. Bai Ze doesn't value human life and even seems to hate people. So why would he help those people deal with her?
It seems that Bai Ze really dislikes this ghost.

Logically speaking, the Chinese people respect Bai Ze. Even if we disregard how Bai Ze would help humanity, he certainly wouldn't act this way. Besides, what did Yang Nianqing's brother and younger brother do to offend him? Why is he about to kill them now?
"You little devil, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! Otherwise, I'll make you vanish into thin air right now!" Bai Ze warned coldly, his eyes fixed on Xu Nuofei behind Fan Mixue.

Fan Mixue shook her head. This was nothing like the Bai Ze she had imagined! In one of the stories in her book, Bai Ze was a mythical auspicious beast. Shouldn't it be someone who loves to help humans, loves good and hates evil, understand? How could it have become such a cold-blooded and ruthless creature, like a ferocious beast? Was the ancient Chinese legend wrong? Or was her understanding flawed? Or had Bai Ze always been this cold-blooded?

"How could you do this? This is nothing like what I imagined! You shouldn't be like this. Humans respect you, shouldn't you protect them too? How could this happen? You wanted to kill these two people, and you recklessly used your spiritual power on the street before! Didn't you know that your spiritual power would tear ordinary people to shreds?" Fan Mixue couldn't help but question! "What right do you have to question me? My current state is inextricably linked to humanity!" Bai Ze looked at Fan Mixue with hostility.

A familiar aura suddenly spread out, and Fan Mixue trembled uncontrollably, kneeling down on the ground. She struggled to lift her head! This was the oppressive power of a divine beast!
Xu Anyu and Xu Nuofei also felt the pressure, but since they were human, their reaction was not as strong as Fan Mixue's.

Why is it said that it's inextricably linked to humans? What happened to Bai Ze? If we follow this line of thought, what happened to him that made him hate humans? Come to think of it, it does seem a bit strange that a divine beast like him is now residing in a jade pendant!

Noticing Fan Mixue's gaze, Bai Ze ignored her and continued fighting with Xu Nuofei and Xu Anyu.

Neither of them expected that this strange-looking beast was actually the legendary auspicious creature, Bai Ze.

Although Bai Ze is currently in a spirit form, strangely, their attacks don't pass directly through his body like they would with a real ghost; their attacks can actually reach Bai Ze!

Xu Nuofei spawned many poisonous vines covered in corrosive slime and controlled them to attack Bai Ze. Bai Ze leaped with its huge body, nimbly dodging Xu Nuofei's vine attacks!

Xu Anyu would occasionally deliver finishing blows from behind, launching wave after wave of fire-based attacks at Bai Ze. Bai Ze simply stomped on Xu Anyu's attacks with its tail a few times, dispelling all of them.

So strong!

The two were secretly shocked. Their proud sect posed no threat whatsoever to Bai Ze! Could it be the power of a mythical beast from China, an ancient divine beast?

Regardless of their shock, Bai Ze intensified his attack!
Xu Nuofei struggled to block the attack, and many plants sprouted around him, as if he were growing in a bizarre and ancient world.

"So weak! So weak!" Bai Ze couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Times have changed, and now the phoenix's descendants are so weak!
Xu Nuofei felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing these words, but it was a fact that he couldn't defeat Bai Ze.

Seeing that the phoenix's offspring was so weak, Bai Ze did not want to get entangled with him any longer. His eyes narrowed, and his sharp claws, carrying violent spiritual power, pierced through Xu Nuofei's abdomen!
"elder brother!!!"
