The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Something More

No creature that had reached this level of cultivation would lash out without a real cause.

Everything pointed back to Lavender’s actions.

Lavender paused, searching her memory.

Suddenly, something surfaced. She hesitated, then spoke. “That day, after I smashed the grave marker, I walked a little farther. I think I kicked a huge rat. It was so big, it startled me, so I kicked it.”

She remembered feeling irritated at the time. The animal looked weak, so she kicked it hard. She had no idea where it landed.

After tumbling into the grass, it ran off.

Back then, Lavender thought it was just a big rat.

Other than those two incidents, nothing else unusual came to mind.

Kicking a rat seemed trivial.

There were always small animals in the woods.

If Scarlett had not brought it up, she would have forgotten about it completely.

Could it really be the reason for everything happening now?

Wasn’t this supposed to be a haunting?

The livestream chat went wild.

[Why does Lavender do this stuff? She smashes a grave marker, then kicks some animal. What is wrong with her?]

[She’s got no decency. That’s why she could say those things to Scarlett.]

[People need to stop messing with things just because they’re bored.]

[She’s reckless. Broke a grave marker, then kicked a rat. Who even does that? Not even scared, apparently.]

[Wait a second, this is weird. How big was that rat? Did anyone catch what the grave marker said? I think it was something like ‘Madam Weaselly! Weaselly? Rat? What if it wasn’t a rat at all? Maybe it was something else.]

[Huh?]

[It was probably a weasel. My grandfather used to talk about the five animal fae–fox, weasel, snake, hedgehog, and mouse. You barely hear about them anymore. They were supposed to be guardians. Lavender might have kicked a weasel spirit, and that grave marker was probably for it.]

[I’ve got chills.]

Finished

[Weasels are supposed to hold grudges. Lavender must have really pissed off a fae. That’s why the payback is so brutal.]

Lavender stared at the stream of comments, her mind blank.

It was a weasel?

The grave marker belonged to the weasel?

She had not only smashed the grave marker of a weasel fae but also kicked the creature itself?

So now the weasel was out for revenge?

Scarlett glanced at the chat. Some viewers had pieced it together.

The thing haunting Lavender was a fragment of the weasel fae’s soul.

People called it weasel fae because it had turned into a spirit after years of offerings. It had managed to gain, some real power.

Weasels were notorious for holding grudges. With the world’s magic fading, it could not keep growing stronger or become human.

Its days were numbered.

Lavender had destroyed its grave marker and kicked it.

The weasel spirit had become vengeful and sent a piece of its soul to follow Lavender, bent on revenge.

Scarlett could see that fragment hovering beside Lavender. It was already beginning to fade.

Scarlett let out a slow sigh. “There was no reason for this. Even if you’re at death’s door, you don’t have to drag her down with you. It’s not even for her sake. If you carry this grudge, it’ll ruin your next life.”

The soul fragment clung to Lavender. Far away in the mountains, the dying weasel saw everything Lavender saw.

It could hear everything she heard. It could even see Scarlett on the stream and hear her voice.

The weasel, alone in the wilderness and waiting to die, was consumed by hatred.

“She deserves it. She has no compassion. My grave marker was just sitting there, undisturbed. She smashed it, then kicked me. Without that kick, I might have lived longer.”

It had worked for years to reach this level.

Who knew how many generations had passed?

Now there was no spiritual energy left in the world. It could not keep cultivating.

No one brought offerings. No worship.

It could only wait for death, isolated in the wild.

All those years it was honored, it had never harmed anyone.

It could not understand why its story had to end this way.
