Chapter 174 - 174 Nie Yin's Secret

174 Nie Yin’s Secret
The dagger in Kong Rui’s hand slowly slid across Shen Heng’s neck. “Speak!”
However, Shen Heng refused to relent. “Even if you kill me, I won’t say anything!”
At this moment, a strange sound came from the bed.
Kong Rui frowned and looked at Wen Qiong, who was already panting on the bed.
Wen Qiong’s eyes widened, and the whites of her eyes were already bloodshot. It looked like she was about to faint!
Kong Rui took out a pill from her storage space and opened Wen Qiong’s mouth with her other hand before forcefully stuffing the pill into her mouth.
Wen Qiong wanted to struggle, but she couldn’t exert any strength.
Kong Rui tapped Wen Qiong’s throat a few times and forced her to swallow the pill.
Wen Qiong glared at Kong Rui, as if she was afraid that Kong Rui had fed her poison.
Kong Rui ignored Wen Qiong. She continued to glare at Shen Heng as she exerted more force with the dagger in her hand.
“What did you feed her?” Worried that Kong Rui had come to save Wen Qiong, Shen Heng asked warily as he looked in Wen Qiong’s direction.
Kong Rui snorted. “The pill that just won’t let her die for the time being!”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Shen Heng heaved a sigh of relief.
Kong Rui was a little puzzled. If Shen Heng was really Nie Yin’s servant, shouldn’t he be eager for Wen Qiong to die? Why was he worried about Wen Qiong now?
In the next moment, Kong Rui realized that she had been mistaken.
Shen Heng heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, it’s not a healing medicine. Otherwise, how would I explain it to Master?!”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Wen Qiong, only to see blood tears flowing out of Wen Qiong’s eyes again.
Kong Rui smiled sinisterly. She even felt happy to see that Wen Qiong was in such a miserable state.
She adjusted her expression and said again, “Since you haven’t killed her yet, did your master leave some order for you to get a secret out of her?”
When Shen Heng heard Kong Rui’s words, his eyes widened in surprise. However, in the next moment, he immediately realized that his loss of composure had let the other party discover his true intentions.
He quickly tried to hide his emotions, but it was too late.
“What secret? Is it related to the natural phoenix essence? Or… is it where the little phoenix went?” Kong Rui guessed again.
“How did you know that Master was looking for…” Shen Heng blurted out, but he immediately regretted it so much that he wished he could bite off his tongue!
Why did he spill the beans after being pressured by this woman? He actually revealed the secret in just a few words!
What Shen Heng didn’t know was that it wasn’t that he had poor self-control, but that Kong Rui’s dagger had a poison in it, a poison that could make people unconsciously tell the truth.
The Poison Master named this medicine: Carefree.
The demons in the Demon Abyss liked to call it the Truth Scattering Powder.
Kong Niang often used this medicine to interrogate the demons who had secretly escaped from the Demon Abyss. It was also a method of interrogation in the Demon Abyss.
This was Kong Rui’s first time trying this medicine on an ordinary person, so the effect was still to be verified.
However, from Shen Heng’s condition, the effect of the medicine wasn’t bad!
Seeing Shen Heng’s vexed expression, Kong Rui smiled and continued to ask, “Why does your master want to find the natural phoenix essence? Do you know how to break the contract between Wen Qiong and the little phoenix?”
“Ever since the Patriarch of the Nie family disappeared, the Nie family has been deteriorating day by day. Master’s cultivation hasn’t improved at all.” Although Shen Heng was unwilling, he still told the truth under the influence of the drug.
“Master heard that the phoenix essence phoenix bone can reconstruct his foundation and allow him to quickly increase his strength. That’s why he got engaged to the Princess.”
