157 Poison Acts Up
Kong Rui hugged the little phoenix in her arms with heartache. After a while, she said, “Don’t worry! I’ll definitely avenge you!”
“Now, you have to cultivate. When I find a way to break the contract between you and Wen Qiong, I will definitely kill her to avenge you!”
The little phoenix shook its head and said, “Master, I want to kill that woman with my own hands!”
Kong Rui gazed at the little phoenix deeply and said, “Alright! I promise you! I’ll definitely let you kill her personally!”
The little phoenix looked at Kong Rui gratefully, but in the next moment, it vomited a mouthful of blood.
Kong Rui was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Little Phoenix, are you alright? What’s going on?”
The little phoenix fell to its knees. “Master, I, I don’t know what’s wrong with me…”
“I feel like I’m going to die!” The little phoenix said weakly.
Kong Rui turned to look at Chao Bai, who was walking towards them quickly.
Chao Bai squatted down and used his hand to check on the little phoenix’s body, but his frown deepened.
“What’s going on? What’s wrong with it?” Kong Rui asked anxiously.
“Someone poisoned the princess.” Chao Bai checked for a long time before speaking.
“Has the poison been transferred to the little phoenix?” Afraid that the little phoenix would be injured again, Kong Rui asked anxiously.
Chao Bai shook his head and said, “The contract between them will make the little phoenix feel the threat to the princess’ life. It might even feel pain, but the contract won’t transfer the poison to the little phoenix.”
“However, we have to speed up. I’m afraid we have to enter the palace to see that princess first.”
“Otherwise, even if your little phoenix doesn’t die, it will be tortured severely!”
When she heard Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui’s face turned pale.
She suddenly stood up and put the little phoenix and cub back into her storage space. She planned to rush out of the Nie family’s residence.
Chao Bai grabbed Kong Rui.
In Kong Rui’s sea of consciousness, the little lion was also shouting desperately, “Master! Let me out! I want to enter the palace with you! Let me go too!”
Kong Rui ignored the little lion’s commotion and shook off Chao Bai’s hand. “I can’t waste any more time here! The little phoenix won’t be able to take it!”
Chao Bai knew Kong Rui’s worry, but he couldn’t make up his mind at this moment.
If they rushed out rashly, although it wouldn’t be a problem for the two of them to defeat the guards at the door, if they alarmed Nie Lin, they would probably be killed before they could leave the Nie family’s residence.
However, if he didn’t go out, the little phoenix would probably suffer more and more.
Just as Chao Bai was hesitating, Kong Rui grabbed the door latch with one hand. In the next moment, she was forced back by the lightning restriction set on the door latch.
Kong Rui didn’t expect that old fellow to set another restriction on the door. Just as she was about to try again, she was grabbed back by Chao Bai.
“Stop trying! That First Elder must already know that someone has touched this restriction!” Chao Bai shook his head and looked at Kong Rui while warning her not to act rashly.
Kong Rui bit her lower lip before asking, “Then what should we do? Wen Qiong can’t die now!”
Chao Bai sighed deeply and comforted Kong Rui. “Wait, let me think about it.”
As Chao Bai was thinking, there was another commotion at the door.
The two of them thought that Nie Lin had returned, but they didn’t expect it to be Nie Yin!
“Open the door!” Nie Yin said firmly.
The guard at the door didn’t dare to disobey Nie Yin’s orders, but he was worried that he would be punished by Nie Lin if he opened the door, so he couldn’t make up his mind.
Presumably, Nie Lin’s trusted subordinate had left with him just now. Otherwise, these guards wouldn’t be so conflicted.
Nie Yin’s expression darkened. “Open the door! I want to see what secrets are hidden inside!”
