The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Zhong Nianyao couldn't care less about what the stall owner thought. After obtaining what she wanted, she didn't linger and soon took a car back to the Zhong Family.

At this time, it was only early in the afternoon, so when she arrived at the Zhong Family home, there was hardly anyone around. She went straight upstairs, intending to return to her room.

However, she had just reached the second floor when she encountered Zhong Jinghao, who was about to descend the stairs.

Clearly, Zhong Jinghao hadn't expected to meet Zhong Nianyao at home at this time either. He paused for a moment and then a warm smile spread across his face, "Nianyao, why have you come home at this time? Don't you have classes today?"

His gentle demeanor resembled that of an older brother rather than a cousin.

Nevertheless, everyone in the Zhong Family knew that although Zhong Jinghao was the eldest son of the Zhong Family, the lone male of his generation, he had a very good nature and was kind to his younger sisters. He treated his two female cousins just like his own younger sisters.

What was most important was that not only did he have a good temperament, but his abilities were also outstanding. After graduating from university, he had joined the Zhong Family's enterprise, starting from the ground up. Within a few years, he had already been promoted to the company's upper echelon.

Looking at the perfect smile on Zhong Jinghao's face, Zhong Nianyao's expression remained cold, and she simply nodded faintly, "I had something to do, so I came back."

After speaking, she walked past Zhong Jinghao and returned to her room.

Zhong Jinghao originally had more to say, but it was clear that he was being ignored by Zhong Nianyao.

Watching Zhong Nianyao's resolute departure, the smile on Zhong Jinghao's face didn't change, but his eyes conveyed a hint of helplessness.

The household staff who saw this couldn't help but sigh in admiration; the young master truly was a good brother!

Zhong Jinghao shook his head helplessly and then continued downstairs. However, in a place where no one noticed, a mysterious glint briefly flashed across his eyes.

Zhong Nianyao returned to her room and casually tossed the painting she had bought into the trash bin. Then she untied the string of Copper Coins and laid them out on the table one by one.

The Coins were incredibly dirty, completely encrusted on the outside, making it almost impossible to discern their original appearance.

Zhong Nianyao looked at the Copper Coins on the table, her eyebrows raised and eyes sparkling with joy, and she exclaimed non-stop, "I didn't expect to gain so much today!"

However, cleaning these Copper Coins wasn't a simple task.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Nianyao stood up, then rummaged through her room, took out a stack of yellow paper and a box of vermillion. Closing her eyes, she held a brush in hand but made no movement.

Suddenly, her eyes opened, and it seemed as if countless stars had burst into life within her beautiful pupils. In that instant, her hand began to move. The brush, now soaked in vermillion, started tracing patterns on the yellow paper.

As the final stroke was made, the talisman paper's pattern seemingly came to life, flickered once, and then all was still again.

Looking at her work, Zhong Nianyao was quite satisfied, mumbling to herself, "It's good that although I have changed bodies, my skills remain. However, this body is still too weak; it looks like I'll need to exercise more in the future."

Zhong Nianyao then picked up the talisman paper and flung it upwards.

Had someone been there, they would have been greatly startled. The talisman paper, once thrown, spontaneously combusted in mid-air without a flame.

Without any hesitation, Zhong Nianyao swiftly grabbed the Copper Coins from the table and threw them toward the burning flames of the talisman paper.

In an instant, the Coins fell back onto the table. But shockingly, the previously unrecognizable Copper Coins were now shiny and smooth once more, as if they had just been freshly minted.

A breeze blew in from the window, scattering the remnants of the burning talisman paper with the wind.

Inside the room, no trace remained, as if the entire scene had been an illusion.

Zhong Nianyao, eyeing the now gleaming Copper Coins, couldn't help but brighten up.

These were no ordinary Copper Coins; they were once used by Zhou Wenwang, Ji Chang, for divination. She had recognized them at the stall earlier.

The book "Zhou Yi" was compiled by Zhou Wenwang himself, so it could be imagined just how precious the divination Copper Coins he used were.

It was truly like receiving a pillow when dozing off.

But—

Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but sigh.

She was naturally happy to have obtained these Copper Coins. Aside from the Coins, divination also required turtle shells as an auxiliary. Obviously, the older the turtle from which the shell had been made, the better it would be.

It seemed that she would need to find time to visit that street again, to see if she could find a suitable turtle shell.
