The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 678

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: The Benedict Beast’s "Gift

One hour later.

Sea University.

After class, Adam Jennings had just walked out of the teaching building when a nearby companion called out to him.

"Adam, is that person... Scarlett Jennings?!"

Adam instinctively wanted to say how could Scarlett possibly be at Sea University, but as he followed their gaze, he indeed saw Scarlett.

At that moment, she was surrounded by several students, being stopped... for signatures and photos.

"Scarlett, have you been busy with courses at the Taoism Academy lately? It’s been a while since we’ve seen you active online!"

"Girl, I’m your metaphysics fan, can I take a photo with you?"

"Scarlett, what brings you to our school? Is there something haunted here?"

Scarlett hadn’t expected that even though "Inspiration" had ended some time ago, she still had fans.

Weren’t they supposed to easily forget about her due to her long absence?

Though she thought this in her heart, facing these people who "liked" her, Scarlett was unusually patient as she cooperated with the photo requests.

Adam watched from afar, wondering if her visit to Sea University had anything to do with the little ghost he had just seen.

Just then, he heard a friend question,

"Adam, Scarlett Jennings is your cousin, right? Can you introduce me to her?"

"Yeah, it’d be great if she could do a reading for me. I just started dating a new girlfriend recently..."

Upon hearing this, Adam glanced indifferently at the person beside him,

"She’s not some fortune teller from the street; why would she need to read your love lines?"

Turning his head, he then looked at another,

"She’s not interested in meeting new friends, so I suggest you don’t get your hopes up."

He paused, then sternly warned,

"Besides, my cousin already has a fiancé."

And that fiancé is not someone you want to mess with.

The two people he bluntly retorted to looked a bit embarrassed, but as that was typical of Adam’s character, they did not dare to say anything more.

Adam then handed his books to them to take back to the dorm as he walked towards Scarlett.

Scarlett also noticed Adam approaching, and seeing this, the surrounding students didn’t continue to disturb her.

Adam walked up, first scanning Scarlett’s body for the little ghost, but not seeing it, he then asked,

"Did you come looking for me?"

Scarlett, noticing his gaze, simply replied, "Sort of."

With that, she got straight to the point and asked him,

"Have you seen the ghost baby I’ve been raising?"

Adam: ...

So that thing is called a ghost baby??

"Yes, I’ve seen it."

Adam had originally planned to ask her about it anyway, so since she approached him proactively, he told her about his recent ability to see ghosts.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett immediately knew he was affected by the Spiritual Aura from the Benedict Beast.

For spiritual objects like the Benedict, being exposed for a long time would naturally allow someone to absorb some Spiritual Energy; in a way, this was his "gift" from nurturing spiritual objects.

Upon hearing that this was a "gift" from the Benedict Jade, Adam was speechless.

He certainly didn’t want such a gift that let him see ghosts.

"Can I refuse it?"

"No," Scarlett said earnestly, "What is given by a sage can’t be declined."

Similarly, what is given by a venerable can’t be declined either.

Seeing Adam’s constipated expression, Scarlett kindly suggested,

"If you really don’t want it, you can try negotiating with the Benedict."

Adam: ...

Negotiating with a jade piece that either eats jade or eats him? As if he doesn’t value his life.

Indeed, he still didn’t know that Scarlett’s previous claim of the Benedict eating him after consuming jade was just to scare him.

Scarlett had long forgotten about that; seeing Adam’s dark expression, she went on,

"Your matter is cleared up, now it’s time to handle mine."
