The Fortune-Telling Heiress

The Ghost King's fingers released a surge of negative energy, causing the previously calm blood pool to churn violently. The bones inside let out piercing screams, and hearing these cries, the Ghost King laughed even harder. He turned and continued walking, clearly satisfied.

After passing through the front hall and navigating a grove of strange rocks, they arrived at the entrance of a stone cave.

Madison glanced at the cave entrance, inscribed with the words "Elysium's Abyss".

Elysium's Abyss?

"This is my treasure trove."

Upon entering the cave, Madison saw dozens of scarecrows hanging above, each inscribed with names and horoscopes.

A thread of gold connected each pair of scarecrows. Madison realized it wasn't a golden thread but a line made from wrapped talismans as she approached. "Sebastian, Sebastian..."

The Ghost King pointed at the scarecrows, saying, "Found you."novelbin

He drew one pair of scarecrows toward him with a finger flick. "No wonder I felt his face was familiar. It turns out his horoscope was already sent to me."

The Ghost King shook the scarecrows in his hand, addressing Madison, "It has only been less than two years since it was sent. No wonder... Otherwise, those sentinel spirits wouldn't have dared bring him back with all his fortune." He shook both scarecrows again..

Madison immediately noticed another scarecrow inscribed with the name "Thiago Hall" and his horoscope.

"This is..."

"Fortune Tapping!" The Ghost King said this like it was perfectly ordinary. "In this world, there are many people with great fortune, good karma, auspicious energy, and golden light. And there are many who want these things." Madison took the two scarecrows and examined them closely. Indeed, these talismans were slowly siphoning off Sebastian's fortune and transferring it to Thiago. "This is evil sorcery."

The Ghost King chuckled. "It's indeed evil sorcery, but so what?"

Negative energy spilled from his fingertips, swirling and dancing in intricate patterns. It was clear how skilled he was in manipulating negative energy.

Madison attempted to sever the talisman thread with her spiritual energy but couldn't budge it. She raised her bronze sword and struck forcefully at the talisman thread. connecting the two scarecrows. The talisman thread flashed with golden light but remained completely still.

The Ghost King watched her with a smile. After Madison swung three times, he shrugged and said, "This is not ordinary talisman paper, nor are these ordinary runes."

He quickly wrote in the air with his finger. Although it was merely using negative energy, Madison could still see the formidable power of the runes.

"This is a divine talisman. How could mere mortals possibly deal with it?"

Divine talisman?

How can this Ghost King write it if it was a divine talisman?

With a wave, the Ghost King retrieved the two scarecrows.

He hung them back up while saying, "Before, I didn't know he was someone who was fortune-tapping Now tha know, I won't do anything to him. I wait until his fortune is l

fully drained before taking action. A sout with great fortune is a

tremendous boon."

Madison tightened her grip on the bronze sword. "What you're doing obscures the heavens."

After hanging the two scarecrows, the Ghost King was about to turn when he suddenly laughed. "Oh, look who's here."

"So what if it does?"

He again reached for the two scarecrows, but one of them was pitch-black as if flames had scorched it.

Madison's gaze fell on the black scarecrow.

Connected to Malcolm was another scarecrow named Avery Quinn, whose horoscope indicated that he was from the same period as Malcolm.

It was Malcolm, along with his horoscope.

"Wow! Malcolm fell into madness and even got killed!" The Ghost King clucked his tongue in amazement, then he crushed Malcolm's scarecrow into a pile of ashes.

Holding the other scarecrow, he

caressed the horoscope inscribed on it. With a flick of his hand, this scarecrow instantly transformed into a wisp of green smoke and entered the Ghost King's body.
