175 Method to Resolve the Contract
“Who knew that Princess Wen Qiong was actually a fake!” Shen Heng said as he glared fiercely at Wen Qiong.
“My master thinks that the little phoenix was born from the phoenix essence phoenix bone and that as long as we find the little phoenix, we will definitely be able to find the true natural phoenix essence! However, no matter how hard we interrogate her, she refuses to tell us the little phoenix’s whereabouts. My master can only let me serve her day and night until the princess is willing to tell the truth.”
Kong Rui glanced at the despairing Wen Qiong and turned to look at Shen Heng. “Even if Wen Qiong really knows the whereabouts of the little phoenix, how can she tell you in this state? Have you ever thought of using other methods to find the little phoenix?”
Shen Heng shook his head as he said solemnly and firmly, “Master instructed me to serve the princess here, so I have to stay here!”
Kong Rui gave Shen Heng a disdainful look and couldn’t help but sigh. “What a loyal lap dog!”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, not only was Shen Heng not angry, but he also smiled. “Being my master’s lap dog is the most glorious thing in my life!”
Kong Rui immediately felt incredulous.
What charm did Nie Yin have to make Shen Heng follow him so loyally?
However, this wasn’t the question Kong Rui wanted to know first. She had another question that Shen Heng had yet to answer.
The dagger in her hand slashed down again. “Speak! Do you know how to break the contract between Wen Qiong and the little phoenix?”
Shen Heng pursed his lips. “I’ve only heard Master mention that if the little phoenix consumes the Divine Transformation Pill condensed from the Princess’ blood, the contract will be broken!”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself, “This is quite simple!”
Now, she had Wen Qiong’s blood, the little phoenix, and the alchemy method.
Kong Rui confirmed with Shen Heng again, “Are you telling the truth?”
“Master and the lord said it, so it should be right!” Shen Heng said with certainty.
Kong Rui was a little puzzled. Who was this lord?
However, since there was a way to break the contract, it was better to break it first to ensure the little phoenix’s safety. Otherwise, with Wen Qiong’s current appearance, even if the little phoenix’s life wasn’t in danger, it would definitely be uncomfortable!
After Kong Rui made up her mind, she used the handle of the dagger to knock Shen Heng unconscious.
Without any obstruction, Kong Rui used Chao Bai to create a small barrier for her barrier artifact.
This small artifact was only a palm-sized bead.
As Kong Rui chanted the incantation that Chao Bai had taught her, the bead emitted a white light that enveloped Kong Rui and the entire room.
“Alright! Now, it’s time to settle our grudges!” Kong Rui said as she took off the bamboo hat on her head.
The moment Wen Qiong saw Kong Rui’s face, her eyes widened.
She struggled and roared with all her might, blood foam gushing out of her mouth.
Kong Rui only raised her hand gently and wiped the blood from the corner of Wen Qiong’s mouth as she said, “Don’t waste it. It’s useful!”
As Kong Rui spoke, she summoned the little phoenix from her storage space.
As soon as the little phoenix landed, it fell to the side weakly.
Seeing this, Kong Rui didn’t delay any longer. She grabbed Wen Qiong’s wrist while cutting an inch-deep wound.
Blood instantly gushed out.
Kong Rui took out a small porcelain bottle and injected blood into it.
After everything was prepared, Kong Rui ignored Wen Qiong, who was still bleeding, and took out a small pill furnace to refine pills.
Before leaving the Nie residence, Chao Bai had found this pill furnace and handed it to her.
She had a lot of spirit stones, which were needed to refine pills now, and her pill refinement speed had also greatly increased.
