Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 559 Possession (1)_1

Meanwhile, hidden within the dense forest were countless wooden huts of ancient and quaint construction. This was where the top tier of the Ye Family resided—the Elders and several Young Masters. They were unconcerned with worldly affairs, focusing on nothing but their training.

The Spiritual Energy here was thicker and richer than in the outer periphery, making it more conducive to absorption. In addition to the natural Spiritual Energy, there were numerous Power Gathering Stones that enabled the Ye Family’s Elders to take their training to the next level.

A three-story wooden villa was concealed at the very top of the island, shrouded in mist all year round. Inside the villa, a thin layer of mist also pervaded, giving it the aura of a celestial mountain—mystical, yet possessing an ethereal, poetic beauty.

The interior of the great hall was decorated in black and white hues, furnished with a very modern touch that exuded both powerful presence and elegant nobility. In the living room hung an enlarged painting, strikingly out of place with the rest. It showed a handsome man carefully holding a cold-faced young lady whose deep eyes were glaring angrily. Yet the man looked tenderly at the girl in his arms.

Beneath the starlight, such an incongruent image—the gentle, handsome man and the angry, cold-faced girl—was prominently displayed by the owner. No guessing was needed; this was naturally the villa of Ye Sanshao, the Third Young Master of the Ye Family.

If Shangguan You were here, she would definitely tear the photograph to pieces. Damn it all! Ye Sanshao dares to take advantage of me, and I don’t even know when he took this photo, let alone had the audacity to enlarge it and hang it in the living room! It’s absolutely shameful! This was indeed Ye Sanshao’s villa in the main family compound. The photograph in the living room was, naturally, of Ye Sanshao holding Shangguan You. It had been taken when she was injured right after her breakthrough, during her first encounter with the Inferno Gang, and he had held her in his arms.

In a vacant room on the second floor, a waist-high artificial hill sat in the center, Spiritual Energy continuously emanating from it. A slender figure was seated cross-legged, rapidly absorbing the Spiritual Energy flowing from the artificial hill.

If Shangguan You were here, she would have been astounded. This waist-high artificial hill was actually made of Spirit Gathering Stones, and the Spiritual Energy emanating from it was on par with that found in her own space.

Ye Sanshao, with his eyes tightly closed and fingers forming a cultivation seal, was absorbing the ceaseless flow of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Gathering Stones. Wisps of white smoke rose above his head, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead. If one looked closer, they would realize he was at a critical juncture in his training.

The originally sealed room was also protected by a barrier. A tiny spider crawled in through a gap under the door, moving cautiously. It left a dark trail that quickly disappeared without a trace—silent and unnoticed.

The spider, upon approaching within ten centimeters of Ye Sanshao, was blocked by an invisible, transparent barrier. Simultaneously, from the large screen in the living room, a girl’s piercing scream rang out, the voice shrill and laced with indescribable pain and trembling.

"AH!" The screams continued, and one could even hear sharp, panicked cries and the sounds of a fight. A scent of blood pervaded the air.

"Ye Sanshao."

"SOB... Ye Sanshao, where are you?"

"Ye Sanshao, you bastard, where are you hiding? I came to find you, and you dare to hide, letting all these abominable things bully me."

"AHH, Ye Sanshao, where the hell have you gone? Get these things off me! Off! AHHH!"

The familiar voice, its familiar tone, the familiar screams... Sweat beaded more profusely on Ye Sanshao’s forehead as he sat within the barrier. Hearing that voice, his tightly shut eyes suddenly sprang open. He coughed violently, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, and the barrier around him automatically dissipated.

The spider, which had been hovering just outside the barrier, was instantly stained red with his blood. Its originally pitch-black eyes turned crimson, and it viciously bit into Ye Sanshao’s arm. Its small body burrowed into his flesh and vanished without a trace.

Ye Sanshao coughed again, spitting out more blood. He took out the medicine Shangguan You had given him and swallowed it all. His originally deathly pale face gradually regained some color.

The sounds he had just heard, the familiar voice that had disturbed his concentration, were now gone. Ye Sanshao let out a long sigh, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. To think they dared to use that girl’s image and voice to disrupt my cultivation, causing my breakthrough to fail at such a critical moment!

CREAK! The villa’s main door was kicked open. Ye Da Shao, Ye Er Shao, and the Elders of the Ye Family quickly appeared inside. Seeing the blood covering the floor, their expressions instantly turned ugly.

"Young Master, how are you?" Ye Er Shao quickly waved his hands, pressing several major acupoints on Ye Sanshao’s body.

"I’m fine," Ye Sanshao said coldly, his deep eyes sweeping over everyone present, his inscrutable gaze finally resting on Ye Da Shao.

"Young Master, it doesn’t matter that you didn’t succeed in breaking through this time. We still have other chances," Ye Da Shao said, his gentle eyes fixed on Ye Sanshao as he offered comfort in a soft voice.

"Mm," Ye Sanshao sighed lightly. My plans to find that girl will have to be postponed indefinitely. Thinking of Shangguan You’s cold, departing figure and her icy expression, an inexplicable pain pierced Ye Sanshao’s heart.

With another wet cough, Ye Sanshao spat out a mouthful of blood. His tall figure swayed and then collapsed backward as he lost consciousness.

"Someone, come quickly! What on earth happened here?"

"Young Master! Young Master!"

With Ye Sanshao’s collapse, chaos erupted among the Ye Family members present. They bustled about, carefully moving him onto the bed in the room. Elder Mi, his hair white and his bearing like that of a sage, dressed in a hemp robe, took Ye Sanshao’s pulse. His face was solemn, but inwardly he sighed deeply. Ai, Young Master, why did you have to push yourself so hard for that girl? Not only did you fail to break through, but you’ve also endangered yourself like this.
