The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 439 - 357

"With the blessing Ah Cen gave you, you’ll attract animals just like me," Zishu Ning explained to her, afraid she might not get used to it, "but not as severely as I do—at most you’ll have small animals following you on the road."

Rong Zhi pinched the soft ears of a stuffed animal; it didn’t get angry and let her pinch it while making a purring sound.

Zishu Ning waited until she had enough fun before taking all these cats and birds out and tightly closing the doors and windows.

She placed a meditation cushion in the center of the room, and from a box beside her, she took out a Star Stone. This Star Stone was somewhat different from the ones used by the Yan Family; the vermillion carved runes on it seemed to glitter with golden powder.

Rong Zhi couldn’t tell if it was just an illusion, but she felt as if these runes were alive. She could sense the power contained within and see them slowly rotating.

"If you’re scared, you can close your eyes; the array will take half an hour to complete."

Zishu Ning, saying this, weighed the Star Stone in her hand, then gripped it tightly, squatting in front of where Rong Zhi was sitting, and started drawing the first layer of the array.

This was the first time Rong Zhi had seen a Star Stone used for drawing.

As if sensing her surprise, Zishu Ning explained unhurriedly, "In Four Directions County, Star Stones’ materials differ across families. The Yan Family specializes in stellar divination, while the Zishu family excels in talismans."

The Star Stone in her hand had a history of over two hundred years. It had been used for countless array talismans to the extent that it could even absorb Heaven and Earth Spirit Stones from arrays, which is why it looked as if it had come to life.

Rong Zhi responded with a nonchalant "oh," lowering her eyes to continue watching her draw.

She wasn’t nervous; she quite trusted Zishu Ning.

Half an hour later, the array was complete.

This time, Zishu Ning placed the Star Stone properly, stood in front of her, her eyes lowered, and with her cold right hand pressed lightly against Rong Zhi’s neck, she looked straight into her eyes and said, "May your wishes all be fulfilled."

She didn’t ask Rong Zhi if she wanted to alter her wish.

Obscure and enigmatic incantations flowed from her mouth, sounding mysterious and distant. Rong Zhi could feel after she chanted two sentences, a scorching current spread from her palm to the runes on her neck.

The layer of runes then seemed to be scalded by boiling water, so hot that beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

It didn’t hurt, just felt hot. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

As seconds and minutes passed, when Zishu Ning withdrew her hand, Rong Zhi felt as if she had been fished out of water, her entire back was drenched, and sweat dripped from her forehead down to her chin, which she casually wiped with her hand.

"Thank you."

Her voice was low and hoarse, her face showing slight fatigue.

"No need," Zishu Ning went to the washroom to wet a towel and handed it to her, her brows slightly furrowed as she suggested, "Would you like to take a bath here before going back? If you go out like this, someone might see."

There were many servants in the backyard, and if any of them with a sharp eye saw her, they might report to the master’s family.

Rong Zhi didn’t refuse her kindness, nodded, got up using the cushion for support, and wiped her face with the towel to wake herself up a bit. "Do you have any clothes?"

"I’ll get them for you."

"Okay."

These past two days, they had been inseparable, so even if Zishu Ning went to Rong Zhi’s room, no one would say anything.

Shortly after, Zishu Ning returned, and Rong Zhi thanked her, took the clothes, and went to wash. When she came out, she felt refreshed. Apart from the lingering warmth on her neck, everything else was normal.

"Will he find out?" she asked, touching her neck.

Both of them knew who "he" referred to.

Zishu Ning shook her head, "No, unless he has an accident or you are about to die, otherwise he will never know in this lifetime."

Of course, there was another possibility, which was if something happened to Rong Zhi, while Bai Su remained unharmed.
