The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 Hubby

The dagger didn’t move.

But after a few seconds, the blade buzzed and vibrated twice.

Which meant it wasn’t playing dead anymore.

Scarlett chuckled and reached out, gently running a finger along the blade.

The dagger started vibrating even harder.

Finished

Scarlett said, “So, do you wanna bind to me with blood? If you accept me as your master, all the dark energy around here is yours to devour. But once you acknowledge me, your loyalty belongs to me alone. If you ever get other ideas, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

The dagger immediately began buzzing again.

Accepting a master.

It was just accepting a master.

What was the big deal?

As long as it got something to eat, it would even recognize someone as its family.

As for having any other thoughts, that was impossible.

Seeing how excited the dagger looked, Scarlett finally removed the restraints around it. She sliced open her fingertip with the dagger and let a drop of blood fall onto the blade, completing

the bond.

Unexpectedly, after absorbing Scarlett’s blood, the dagger suddenly became even more excited, its blade shaking harder than before.

It felt like the taste of that drop was even more tempting than the dark energy surrounding

them.

But it also knew that was its master’s blood.

It didn’t dare try to draw more.

Instead, it focused on the dense dark energy in the air, greedily absorbing it.

Scarlett ignored it after that, put the wooden box back in the cabinet, slipped the dagger into her pocket, and headed upstairs.

This villa was a haunted house, thick with dark energy.

Even though the dagger was devouring the dark energy around it like crazy, the overall amount barely seemed to decrease.

That was because absorbing dark energy required time to digest.

It couldn’t just keep consuming endlessly.

Just like people eating food, they had to digest it after eating.

Scarlett let it keep feeding.

When she’d signed the two–year lease with the villa’s owner, she’d promised to clear the dark energy from the house once the contract ended.

Now that she had the dagger, she didn’t even need to do anything special. Gradually, the dark energy in the villa would fade away on its own.

Once upstairs in her lab, Scarlett got busy again.

Calling it a lab was a bit generous. Most of the equipment was missing.

What she had was pretty crude.

But it was enough.

Besides that, Scarlett was also preparing an SCI research paper.

So her days were still pretty packed.

The Venis Couture ad, in which she played three roles, stayed trending for a long time.

Wave after wave of casual viewers turned into genuine fans of Scarlett.

Her follower count on Instagram was growing rapidly too, now reaching around 40 million.

Just a few months earlier, she’d been the target of nationwide hate, with barely two or three million followers–most of them fake accounts or haters waiting to mock her.

Now she had 40 million followers, and most of them were real fans who genuinely liked her.

The company hadn’t even bought fake followers to inflate the numbers.

Scarlett stayed busy, and before she knew it, two months had passed, and December arrived.

Her monthly livestreams continued right on schedule.

But over the past two months, she had barely shown up in public.

She hadn’t appeared at school much either.

She’d basically been on leave the entire time.

$47.

Finished

At the beginning of December, during the third monthly exam, Scarlett once again scored almost perfect marks.

Her homeroom teacher didn’t even bother worrying about whether she took leave anymore.

At this point, it probably wouldn’t matter even if she skipped the entire second half of the

semester.

Aside from the six livestream sessions she held every month, Scarlett spent most of her time cultivating, writing her paper, or working upstairs.

The dagger was almost always with her.

Even when she went out, she carried it along casually.

The only people getting restless were Scarlett’s fans. They really wanted to know what she’d

een up to lately.

ne hadn’t even posted on Instagram.

They were dying of curiosity.

[What has Scarlett been doing lately? Besides her six livestreams every month, there’s barely any news about her. Even during the livestreams, she mostly just treats patients and doesn’t interact much with fans. I kinda miss her!]

[Yeah. Students from Badger High said Scarlett hasn’t really been at school for the past two months either–she’s basically been on leave the whole time. She hasn’t joined a film crew yet either, right? Six livestreams a month only add up to ten hours or so. What is she doing with the rest of her time?]

[@Scarlett Hubby, what have you been doing lately? We’ve been waiting so long that we’re going crazy. Can you do another gender–bend moment? That Venis Couture one nearly killed me!]

[Hubby, please come say hi or at least post some daily life updates on social media.]

Most of the comments were left under Scarlett’s previous posts.

finished

Even though Scarlett had been staying home most of the time, she still occasionally checked what was happening online.

She had never created a fan group, and she had no plans to start one.

She didn’t need fans to vote for her or campaign for her.

As long as they were living their lives well and everything was going smoothly for them, that was enough.

Seeing the comments fans left under her old posts, Scarlett casually snapped two makeup–free selfies and a photo of herself working.

Of course, the things on her workbench weren’t clearly visible–just scattered materials and parts.

She uploaded the photos.

[Wow, Scarlett posted! She looks gorgeous even without makeup!]
