Who's the Wicked One?

"Sister, she actually hit me!" Li Han immediately complained.

"What's going on?" Wen Qiong pretended to be concerned. In fact, she wished that they would fight. It would be best if both sides suffered.

Kong Rui's hands were clenched into fists, with her nails digging into her palms so tightly that she was bleeding.

"Sister Ling, why aren't you saying anything?" Wen Qiong ran to her and looked at her. "What's with your spiritual power?" Wen Qiong had also sensed that the spiritual power of the person in front of her was no longer the same as before.

"Thanks to the poison I got from Spirit Mountain, I didn't expect to obtain a few cultivation level increases for free. My luck is just that good. Don't you think it's infuriating?" Kong Rui said as calmly as she could.

Wen Qiong smiled awkwardly. "Congratulations, Sister Ling. But why did you hit Sister Han?" Wen Qiong's tone was inquisitive.

Kong Rui wiped her hands. "I wanted to hit her, so I hit her." After saying that, she leaned in front of Wen Qiong and smiled disdainfully. "If I want to hit you, I will have to hit you as well."

Wen Qiong was horrified. "Sister Ling, you're crazy!"

She really didn't know her place. After a few mouthfuls of poison, she didn't even know her own place anymore? Wen Qiong thought resentfully.

Kong Rui sneered and asked, "By the way, Sister, has your beast egg hatched?"

If this had happened before, Wen Qiong would have cursed her for bringing it up.

But today, Wen Qiong answered with some pride. "It hatched. Where's the little phoenix? It's better to have talent than use crooked methods."

"That's right. Talent is better than crooked methods. Any power obtained through crooked means will definitely be punished by the heavens, right?"

Wen Qiong felt apprehensive when she heard this. She couldn't help wondering if she knew something, but on second thought, she was certain she didn't. Other than her and the queen, the other female slaves who knew had been killed. Word of it couldn't get out.

When Kong Rui heard that the beast egg had hatched, she made up her mind to snatch it back!

"Sister Ling, you're just a concubine's daughter. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to argue with a legitimate princess here, right?" Wen Qiong said.

"That's right, you actually forgot who you are." Li Han hurried over to agree.

Kong Rui didn't want to talk to them anymore. She walked straight into the room.

All she wanted to do now was get rid of them both and go to the palace to find the little phoenix.

Li Han quickly stopped her. "You want to leave? How will you explain the slap you gave me?" As soon as Li Han finished speaking, Kong Rui slapped her again.

"You, you, you!" Li Han was completely furious. She summoned her intrinsic divine beast, the Gray Spirit Elephant. Kong Rui wasn't afraid at all. She drew her sword and was about to stab it.

At this critical moment, a roar sounded.

"Stop it, all of you!" a middle-aged man shouted in frustration. He stomped his foot angrily as he spoke. "Look at yourselves! Guests are still here, but you're fighting among yourselves!"

Kong Rui glanced over and saw a familiar figure. Wasn't this Nie Yin? Kong Niang's enemy!

Wen Qiong's eyes lit up. "Brother Nie, you're here too!"

Nie Yin nodded, then comforted Mr. Li like a gentleman. "Everyone has conflicts. I came at the wrong time."

"You can't say that. It's our family's honor to have you here," Mr. Li said with a hearty smile.

"Daddy!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Li turned around and saw that Li Han's eyes were filled with tears. It was as if she was trying her best not to let tears fall since she didn't want others to know that she was crying. However, the way she called him daddy was filled with grievance. Even Wen Qiong's face twitched slightly when she heard it.

No one could beat this woman in terms of acting.

"Father, we've caused you trouble and made a fool of ourselves in front of Young Master Nie. I should have given in to my sister when she hit me. She's young and insensible, so it's all my fault." Li Han started crying after saying that.

Kong Rui applauded her. "Go on."

"You unfilial child!" Seeing Kong Rui's nonchalant expression, Mr. Li stomped his feet in anger and pointed at Kong Rui fiercely.

"Li Ling, your spiritual power?" Nie Yin was the first to notice that something was wrong with her.

Initially, he felt that there was something wrong with Li Ling's attitude towards him. If she had seen him before, she would have pounced on him.

But now, she was indifferent to him. Upon closer inspection, he realized that her spiritual power had actually increased by so much!

"It's just a blessing in disguise." Kong Rui was unwilling to elaborate. Nie Yin was quite smart. The more she said, the more risks there would be.
