The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Do I Look Like Your Great-Grandmother?

[The Jennings Family has only one Scarlett Jennings.]

This was Kingston Jennings’ response when, more than two years ago, Hannah Hearne suddenly expressed her desire to take Scarlett Jennings’ place as the daughter of the Jennings Family.

At that time, Hannah Hearne seemed to be acting on a whim, yet made them remember what they had said.

She said,

[No one can replace her as the child of your Jennings Family.]

Much time had passed, and although it was thought that apart from him, the two younger ones, Lucas Jennings and Adam Jennings, had probably forgotten, it turned out they all still remembered.

When Lucas Jennings carefully explained their conversation with Hannah Hearne, Magnolia Hearne immediately recalled that before they came, Hannah Hearne had told them something similar.

She looked at Emily Hearne, feeling that only she could provide an answer to this matter.

And indeed, Emily Hearne knew the answer.

"Every thousand years, a fox within the Hearne Clan can comprehend the future of Heaven and Earth."

Back then, the prophecy that a half-demon might give birth to a ten-tailed ancestral bloodline, and the demons would be completely annihilated with the Heavenly Dao, was made by one of the elders with this ability.

Otherwise, with just a rumor, it wouldn’t have been enough for Emily Hearne to seek to produce a half-demon offspring with King Fox bloodline through a human.

This shows how much the Hearne Clan believes in their prophecy.

"After the elder who left the prophecy vanished, the tribe waited a thousand years for the next fox that could comprehend the future of Heaven and Earth."

Emily Hearne said,

"That’s Hannah."

Although a Master can also use face reading to deduce someone’s past and present, it is limited to humans.

Those like Ashton Todd, who can calculate the fate of animals, are rare.

And those who can delve into the past and future fate of the Demon Clan are almost nonexistent.

This illustrates how rare such an ability is within the Demon Clan.

Before Scarlett Jennings appeared, Hannah Hearne was the most talented among the Hearne Clan’s younger generation. Coupled with her ability to comprehend the future of Heaven and Earth, she has been groomed as a candidate for elder over the years.

She was merely waiting to grow; among the eight elder positions, one would certainly be hers.

But she was still young at the time, and neither Emily Hearne nor the clan elders imposed any demands on her.

Thus, since birth, Hannah Hearne actually made only two prophecies.

The first was when she had just manifested her second tail, marking her as the fox to inherit the elder position.

The second was more than two years ago, regarding Scarlett Jennings.

"She never mentioned this matter to the clan. If she hadn’t come this time to talk to me and Qi Qi, I wouldn’t have known she had made a prophecy about you over two years ago."

Seeing that Emily Hearne was neither proud nor glad about this, Scarlett Jennings realized that the ability to comprehend the future of Heaven and Earth was not as simple as it seemed.

As is well known, the more powerful the magic that defies the rules of the Heavenly Dao, the higher the cost required.

This is true for Masters and even more so for the Demon Clan.

"What was the cost of Hannah’s prophecy?"

What Scarlett Jennings could think of, Magnolia Hearne naturally thought of too. Hearing this, she looked at Emily Hearne with some tension.

Besides them, Kingston Jennings subconsciously held his breath, watching Emily Hearne, as if waiting for her response.

Since Emily Hearne brought this up, she didn’t intend to hide it and said directly,

"Every prophecy requires a certain amount of lifespan as a price."

The future one wishes to know, the greater the matter, the more lifespan needed.

Otherwise, among the once nine elders, why was it that the elder with this ability disappeared first?

Because the ten tails are born of the Heavenly Dao, and any prophecy concerning the ten tails is just a step away from probing into the Heavenly Dao.

Though at the time of Hannah Hearne’s prophecy, Scarlett Jennings was not yet a ten-tail, the content of the prophecy was related to the ten tails.

It can be inferred that she must have paid a significant price.

Thinking of this, Scarlett Jennings could not continue asking Lucas and others about details within the Mirage Realm. With a flash of her figure, the Ten-tailed Realm unfolded, instantly bringing her to where Hannah Hearne was.

"Scarlett, you’re back." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
