Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 502

Chapter 502: The Lost Familiar
Luo Huian didn’t waste her time and snuck out when someone came to check up on Qi Yongrui and Long Zhong. Just as she expected, these people were stunned when they saw that the two sacrifices that they had prepared were fine and even Gu Qinfan, who should have been suppressed by the Gloom, was also alright.

Seeing this, the people of the village naturally panicked and went to look for the village head. After all, they had no idea what to do in this situation. The gloom was supposed to take over Gu Qinfan such that they could slowly raise it and make it understand that they were not its enemy.

However, the Gloom didn’t appear and from the looks of it, Gu Qinfan seemed to be getting better!

Luo Huian sneered when she saw the people running away in panic. She turned around on her feet and walked away. However, instead of leaving the village, she headed to the mountains. She wanted to see what kind of good things the mountains had in store for her.

Since the land itself rebuked her as if she was the evil one, Luo Huian was certain that there were some traces of Gu Sirou left behind on this land. No wonder there was no Gloom aura in this village and it looked close to normal. It was because it was blessed by the creator of this mess.

Luo Huian hummed as she continued to walk up the mountains; her hands were held behind her back as she looked around. The closer she went to the tomb, the more the resistance became; however, Luo Huian didn’t fall back. Instead, she raised her hand and drew an array in the air.

It was enough to repel the evil aura for the time being. There was nothing that could be done. This mountain was Gu Sirou’s domain, who represented the demonic fraction , while Luo Huian represented the pure fraction. It was not a surprise that the two energies repelled one another.

“We are here,” Luo Huian remarked as she came to a stop in front of the tomb’s entrance. She looked around and saw many human bones scattered over the floor of the tomb. With a raise of her brows, Luo Huian chuckled. It seemed to her that the villagers did try to break into the tomb but they couldn’t.

Of course they couldn’t. This was not the tomb of an immortal but a demonic cultivator. The demonic energy here was too strong; even if a few villagers did succeed in climbing up here, they would end up dying after absorbing so much demonic energy.

No wonder, there was not a single good person around in this village. It was because they grew crooked with the presence of the demonic energy lingering in the village but of course, Luo Huian didn’t believe that they were good people to begin with.

After all, those who are not bent could never be broken.

She swept a glance around the archway of the tomb and then entered the tomb. As soon as she entered the tomb, the surge of the demonic energy made Luo Huian gag. It smelt just as bad as Gu Sirou. The last time she met with that woman, Gu Sirou smelt of rotten flesh and blood with traces of the cries of the innocent.

This place smelt the same.

Luo Huian’s brows furrowed as she continued to walk inside the tomb but other than a few broken bones, she didn’t find anything. However, she still wanted to see the reason behind the lack of Gloom Aura in the village; thus, she continued to persist.

Soon, Luo Huian found the reason behind the good fortune of the village. Heh, it seemed like Gu Sirou stole a few good things and then brought them to her side. Luo Huian looked at the egg of the familiar that had once fought by Gu Sirou’s side and her expression became complicated.

At that moment, she didn’t know how to explain her feelings. She was glad that she had gotten her hands on the egg, which could presumably help You Ruojin awaken but at the same time she hated this creature with a passion. This familiar had once stood by the side of the immortal, who was worshipped for creativity and strength.

But once the immortal passed, this familiar turned around and joined forces with the demonic cultivators. Luo Huian had no idea what those people promised this familiar but he was quite loyal to them until he was killed by her father and fell from the immortal realm.

“Should I just kill it?” Luo Huian asked Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. She could never forget the weapons that this familiar created for the demonic cultivators in the war and how many innocent lives it took.

As if sensing her murderous intent, the egg on the stone pillar shivered.

“You can’t.” Xiao Hei shook his head and said to her, “Though it did reap a lot of lives, it was also killed and it took him a million years to finally reform itself; you cannot pin the blame and sins of his past life on him again when he is about to be born again.”

Only then did the egg that was sitting on the stone pillar calm down.

Luo Huian, on the other hand, was not happy with what Xiao Hei said to her but she had to admit that this egg was useful to You Ruojin; even if she didn’t like this familiar, she had to hand him to You Ruojin.

She walked over to the pillar and picked up the egg without any care. Even though her actions caused the tomb to shake and tremble, Luo Huian didn’t care. She simply looked at the grey egg that had markings on its surface and smiled at him.

However, her smile was fear-inducing. It made the little egg shake in fear, making Luo Huian even more pleased. She said to him, “Little Ergou, you better not make me mad. In the past, it was my father who reaped your life and if you go against me in this life, I will reap your soul.”

Luo Huian didn’t care whether the egg understood her or not. She casually tossed the egg in her bag and then left the tomb. Of course, she erased all her traces from the tomb. Since this egg had reformed, Luo Huian wondered if Gu Sirou had also started to slowly reform herself; that woman had caused quite a lot of trouble in the past for her and the immortals.

Given that the woman had ambitions so high that they could pierce the sky, Luo Huian knew that Gu Sirou would not give up so easily.

“Cough.”

A mouthful of blood gushed out of her lips and Gu Sirou looked down at the vibrant, bright blood that was filling her palm. Her eyes twitched as she hurriedly traced the cause of this sudden injury. Everything was fine, then why did her soul suddenly become unstable?

She blinked her eyes and then looked around, finally finding the chink in her armour.

“Chu Village?” Gu Sirou’s eyes turned cold. This was the place where she had asked a few villagers to raise the Gloom that she had raised with her blood. This time around, she was sure that she would create a Gloom that would listen to her without going against her.

The perfect weapon who would attack those whom she wanted to kill instead of creating mindless chaos.

Thus, Gu Sirou was really careful about this project. Now that something had happened, she immediately called one of her aides and asked them to head down to the Chu Village.

Of course, this project was something that she had started while staying in the dark. The ones who were in charge of it on the surface were the many ministers, businessmen and officials who wanted to create a monster that could dance to their rhythm.

Just like Gu Sirou, they wanted a beast that was willing to listen to them so that they could create a weapon that everyone would fear.

When the assistant received Gu Sirou’s order, she naturally agreed and then left the office. The news of the project failing was slowly released to the group of those officials and elders of the guild who wanted to raise the Gloom.

As soon as the information leaked, it didn’t take the entire group to be shaken up. Even Old Madam Wen was shocked silly. She immediately rushed out of her office and went home.

Upon seeing his wife return, Father Wen flashed her a sweet smile and said to her, “You are back, just in time. I just prepared some soup—”

However, just as he turned around and saw the look in the eyes of his wife, he blinked his eyes and questioned, “What’s the matter? Why do you look like you are being chased by a ghost?”

“It’s over… it’s over.” Without answering her husband, Old Madam Wen paced inside the room with a worried look.
