The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Awakened

“L–love charm? Trucheart sigil?” Shirley stared in shock. “You can even use that on someone of the same sex?”

“Yes, you can,” Scarlett replied. “The effect of the sigil is to create emotional attachment. Feelings like friendship can exist between people of the same sex too.”

Dudley pulled Jewel back and sat her down on the couch.

Jewel looked at Scarlett with reddened eyes. “Scarlett… I’m sorry. I think I did a lot of bad things to you before.”

In truth, she hadn’t done anything terrible–she had simply stopped trusting Scarlett, argued with her more and more, and gradually drifted away.

Scarlett smiled. “It’s alright. Don’t think too much about it. The sigil she placed on you has already been removed. From now on, you’ll be fine.”

But Jewel still felt awful.

They had been such close friends.

Yet because Hazel had placed a sigil on her, she had betrayed her own heart and betrayed her friend.

How could such a small sigil control someone’s heart like that?

She couldn’t help muttering, “If she just goes around placing sigils on people like that… isn’t she afraid of karma?”

Scarlett said, “Placing sigils on others does cause backlash. But compared to the dark spell she used to steal your family’s fortune, the backlash from those sigils is much smaller. At most, it might just make her unlucky for a while.”

Hazel had probably used sigils on quite a few people.

That was why her fortune had been declining more and more.

Which was also why the mother and daughter had become so desperate to improve Hazel’s fortune, and why they ultimately targeted the Macks.

Scarlett stayed at Dudley’s house for a while longer.

Jewel kept looking at her with tearful eyes.

In the end, it wasn’t until Scarlett promised they’d hang out together sometime that Jewel finally felt a little

better.

The two of them also added each other again as contacts.

Only then did Scarlett return to the villa.

Of course, she brought the dagger back with her as well.

The jet–black dagger was still stored inside the wooden box.

Finished

The box itself was just an ordinary wooden container, but the dagger… she still couldn’t determine what material it was made from.

The moment she returned to the villa, the dagger inside the box began vibrating faintly, as if humming with excitement. It clearly liked this place.

Scarlett immediately understood–the dagger had likely already developed a rudimentary awareness.

Sure enough, once inside the villa, she could feel the dagger trembling even more violently inside the box.

And the dark energy within the villa slowly began flowing toward the wooden box.

The dagger was absorbing the villa’s dark energy.

This dagger was incredibly evil.

It had likely killed countless people in the past, perhaps even served as a burial object or remained in extremely dark energy–heavy places for many years.

Now, it could even absorb dark energy on its own. It was clearly a top–tier evil artifact.

Artifacts came in a wide variety.

Aside from those meant to suppress evil or ward off spirits, there were also evil artifacts like this.

There were also auxiliary artifacts, combat artifacts, and special types.

This dagger could be considered both an auxiliary artifact and a combat artifact.

If an ordinary person were cut by it, they would likely die almost instantly.

Scarlett had no idea where Leona had managed to obtain such a powerful and evil object.

In this declining age of cultivation, items like this were extremely rare.

There probably weren’t many left in the world.

Even though it radiated pure malevolence, it was still a valuable treasure.

Coming away from this trip with the dagger wasn’t a bad outcome at all.

She had no intention of using it to harm people.

But if she ever faced the mysterious force backing Leona in the future, it might prove useful.

As she sensed the dagger absorbing dark energy more and more eagerly, Scarlett opened the wooden box.

The dagger lay quietly inside, no longer trembling and no longer absorbing dark energy.

The moment someone appeared, the dagger instantly played dead.

Scarlett glanced at the motionless blade and let out a cold laugh. Still pretending?”

The dagger didn’t respond, lying there silently in the box.

Black mist continued to seep from its body.

That mist was pure evil energy. It even began creeping toward Scarlett.

Apparently, the dagger thought Scarlett couldn’t see it and wanted to ambush her.

Scarlett was certain the dagger had already awakened consciousness.

But it wasn’t a good consciousness. More like a corrupted one.

But the basic idea was the same: it had its own awareness, could think independently, and could understand human speech.

Scarlett could see spiritual energy clearly and even saw the black mist surrounding it.

Seeing the dagger still pretending to be lifeless while secretly trying to kill her, she sneered, formed a hand seal, and instantly blocked the evil energy from approaching her.

Then she formed another seal and slapped the dagger sharply.

Suddenly, the dagger felt as if the dark energy filling the entire room had become distant and unreachable.

It finally sensed that something was wrong.

But it still didn’t move.

Scarlett chuckled. It was still trying to keep up the act.

Fine. I won’t bother with it. Let it keep pretending inside the box.

Even if it has developed some awareness, it doesn’t have legs–it can’t run away.

Scarlett grabbed a piece of cloth, wrapped it tightly around the dagger, stuffed it back into the wooden box, then carried the box into her room and slid it under her bed.

At first, the dagger hidden beneath the bed was delighted.

It thought it could continue absorbing the surrounding dark energy.

But soon, it realized something was wrong.

The dark energy was still everywhere around it–thick and dense–yet none of it flowed toward the dagger

anymore.

It was like being surrounded by your favorite food, yet unable to take even a single bite.
