Chapter 242: The dog licked until he died

The Song family manor is larger than the Huo family manor, but even in the dark, Huo Qinghuang can see that a thick layer of dusk is shrouding the entire Song family manor.

This is due to the decline of the Song family's fortunes. With just a little more effort, the Song family's fortunes would completely collapse, and there would be no way to turn things around.

She stood outside the manor with a grim look in her eyes. The Soul-Eating Curse in her hand turned into a wisp of black smoke and silently seeped into the manor.

“Woo woo…”

Not long after, a gust of cold wind blew by, accompanied by faint ghost howls, and a dark figure suddenly appeared outside the manor.

"You, why are you here?"

There was a hint of fear in the figure's tone, and under the faint moonlight, a pale face was revealed.

It was the ghost cultivator who was forcibly cast with the soul-devouring curse by Huo Qinghuang.

"I thought you didn't dare to come see me."

Huo Qinghuang's lips curled up into a faint smile, which seemed a little chilly under the cold moonlight.

"How does the Soul-Eating Curse taste? Do you want to try it again?"

Her voice seemed to be wrapped with a thousand-year-old frost, and every word she spoke struck heavily on the ghost cultivator's heart.

With a plop, the ghost cultivator knelt on the ground tremblingly, begging: "I dare not. Master, if you have any orders, I will do my best."

Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly, "Then tell me, how did the Song family instruct the Zhang family to deal with my Huo family?"

"ah?"

The ghost cultivator was stunned and said blankly: "My ghost servant has been watching Mr. Song, and I haven't heard of any conspiracy between the Song family and the Zhang family.

Besides, Mr. Song is breathing more than breathing in right now, and he can’t even speak. I guess he will only be here for a day or two.”

"Wasn't it Song Zhiqiao who ordered it?"

Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

She originally thought that the Song family was the mastermind behind the incident. After all, the Song family and the Huo family had a long-standing grudge, and Song Zhiqiao had always been ruthless and had every motive to attack the Huo family.

But the ghost cultivator's words surprised her.

Seeing Huo Qinghuang's serious expression, the ghost cultivator quickly added, "Master, I would never dare to deceive you.

Mr. Song is indeed very ill and can't even get out of bed. It's impossible for him to instruct the Zhang family to deal with the Huo family."

Huo Qinghuang was silent for a moment, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Who is the person behind the Zhang family?"

"How about I go and ask around?"

The ghost cultivator volunteered.

“No need.”

Huo Qinghuang shook his head, and then a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he began to deduce the fate of several gangsters.

From the fate of those gangsters, she saw Zhang Kun and Song Manyun who met Zhang Kun.

"This bastard!"

Huo Qinghuang's face darkened slightly, and a hint of murderous intent rose in his heart.

It turned out that Zhang Kun had been pursuing Song Manyun for a long time, but Song Manyun had always been hot and cold towards him, and was always distant.

Today is the first day of school. Zhang Kun came to find Song Manyun again. Song Manyun looked aggrieved and complained to Zhang Kun, talking about how Huo Qinghuang had targeted and embarrassed her at the Huo family banquet. She even started crying at the end.

According to her, Huo Qinghuang had just returned to the Huo family, so it would have been fine if he didn't recognize her, but Huo Jiayue, who used to have a good relationship with her, didn't even speak up for her and even watched her make a fool of herself, making her lose face. She would not be able to face her sisters in the future.

The goddess was sad, and Zhang Kun, as a bootlicker, naturally expressed his righteous willingness to help her get revenge.

But he is a rich second-generation after all, and he is not completely brainless.

Although Huo Qinghuang had just returned to the Huo family, she was their biological daughter after all, but Huo Jiayue was different.

She is just an adopted daughter. If they teach her a lesson, the Huo family will not make things difficult for the Zhang family just for the sake of an adopted daughter.

So, Zhang Kun took the initiative and called a group of thugs to tie up Huo Jiayue, intending to scare her.

However, this guy had never been in society, and had no idea how cruel and ruthless the gang of thugs he called upon were. If Huo Qinghuang had not arrived in time, Huo Jiayue would have inevitably repeated his original fate and ended up with a miserable death.

"It's useless to die with such meaningless things."

Huo Qinghuang stared at the ghost cultivator with a cold gaze and said, "I'll give you a task. Now, go to Zhang's house. I want to hear about Zhang Kun's death tomorrow."

The ghost cultivator was startled and didn't dare to look at Huo Qinghuang. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, I will go to the Zhang family right now and make sure that guy dies!"

This woman was too cruel and would take people's lives at any time. Fortunately, he surrendered and begged for mercy in time, otherwise he would not be alive now.

"etc."

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

The ghost cultivator paused, lowered his head and stepped back.

"The Song family's luck has declined, but it's not enough. After the Zhang family's affairs are settled, you will continue to create panic in the Song family, including the collateral descendants, and make them completely collapse."

Huo Qinghuang instructed calmly.

I originally wanted to let the Song family survive for a while, but now it seems that it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.

If the Song family wants to blame someone, just blame Song Manyun. Well, it won’t be too late to tell them the fact after the Song family goes bankrupt.

Huo Qinghuang stroked his chin, thinking with interest.

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across the ghost cultivator's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear.

He knew Huo Qinghuang's methods very well. If he disobeyed her orders, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yes, Master. I will do it right away."

The ghost cultivator responded in a low voice, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and fell silently into the darkness.

Huo Qinghuang stood there, looking at the Song family manor in front of him with a cold gaze, a sneer on his lips.

"The Song family no longer needs to exist."

She whispered to herself, then turned and left, her figure disappearing into the night.

…

Early the next morning, Huo Qinghuang got up, packed up, and went to knock on the door next door.

"Miss."

Aunt Liu, wearing an apron, opened the door with a smile on her face.

"I was just about to call you. Breakfast is ready, but the second young lady hasn't gotten up yet. I'll go call her."

Aunt Liu kept muttering as she moved aside.

Huo Qinghuang nodded, entered the house and sat down at the dining table, picked up an omelet, and looked around the house while eating.

I was so busy comforting Huo Jiayue yesterday that I didn't even know what her room looked like.

When she saw this, she couldn't help but twitch her eyes.

Huo Jiayue's house has the same layout as hers, both with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

As a result, this girl didn't even prepare a study. The guest bedroom was given to Liu Ma, and the original study was turned into an alchemy room, occupied by a large alchemy furnace.

This shows that he is really serious about alchemy.

But it’s also good this way, she is always the one who benefits, and it deserves encouragement.

"Sister, you got up so early. Wait for me. I'll finish cleaning up soon."

Huo Jiayue walked out of the room in a daze. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Huo Qinghuang. He instantly lost his sleepiness. After saying that, he turned around and rushed into the bathroom.

Huo Qinghuang ate breakfast in silence, wondering whether he should prepare a few more pill recipes for Huo Jiayue to practice on.
