Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius! Novel - Chapter 133
133 Heart Devouring Curse
Kong Rui stepped over them one by one and walked to Chao Bai’s side. “What did you do to them?”
“I used the Heart Devouring Curse,” Chao Bai said aloofly, but Kong Rui could sense that if she let him stay here any longer, he would probably lose his temper.
However, Kong Rui had to figure out who was behind this.
It would be fine if it was just a group of lackeys who came to cause trouble. If this really had something to do with Haolan Academy and the Profound Heaven Sect, Kong Rui didn’t want to cause trouble for herself!
!!
Kong Rui grabbed Chao Bai’s hand. “Stand here and wait for me. I’ll go back after asking a few questions.”
Chao Bai was clearly unhappy, but Kong Rui pretended not to see it.
She tugged at Chao Bai’s hand slightly before saying, “Be good.”
It was unknown if Kong Rui’s comforting tone made Chao Bai relax or if Kong Rui’s words made Chao Bai happy.
In short, the cold aura around Chao Bai instantly dissipated drastically.
Kong Rui’s face, which was hidden under the veil, immediately beamed.
This guy was really easy to coax. She comforted him with just a few pleasant words.
Since Chao Bai’s emotions had been soothed, Kong Rui walked to the green-clothed person closest to them. She pressed the black knife in her hand against that person’s neck and asked coldly, “Tell me! Who sent you?!”
That person pinched the front of his shirt tightly and panted as he said, “Demoness! Don’t even think about stirring up trouble in the capital!”
Under the bamboo hat, Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and continued to ask, “I caused trouble? What do you mean?”
That person spat at Kong Rui.
In the next moment, his expression changed drastically. His entire body twitched, then he fainted a second later.
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment before she thought of something and turned to look in Chao Bai’s direction. “I was about to ask him a question!”
“Ask someone else.” Chao Bai was clearly dissatisfied.
Kong Rui was helpless and could only press the knife against the person’s neck. “Tell me! Who asked you to come?!”
That person was dressed in gray. From the patterns embroidered on his collar, he was probably an inner sect disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect. Clearly, he was one of the more important people in this group.
That person’s face was livid as he looked at Kong Rui, as if she was a demon. “Everyone has the right to kill you demons! No one sent us here! Our mission is to destroy you demons!”
Hearing the other party’s words, Kong Rui was even more confused.
The two of them had just returned to the Imperial Capital and had been hiding their whereabouts very well. Other than during Zi Xuan’s incident, they hadn’t provoked anyone. Why would people come…
Kong Rui suddenly thought of something.
Could these people be avenging Zi Xuan?
Could it be that these people were here to help High Heaven Pavilion?
Profound Heaven Sect and Haolan Academy were equally famous as High Heaven Pavilion. How could their disciples bother to try to curry favor with High Heaven Pavilion?
This was too strange!
The more Kong Rui thought about it, the more confused she became. She looked up at Chao Bai, but he was so silent that he seemed to be asleep.
Kong Rui sighed and was about to continue questioning that person when she saw the procuress get up from the ground.
She kicked the person beside her fiercely before walking up to Kong Rui. “Master, these people must be here because of the notice outside!”
“A notice?” Kong Rui looked up at the procuress in puzzlement.
The procuress immediately waved at the servant who was so frightened that she didn’t dare to move. “Hurry up and bring the notice over!”
Only then did the servant come back to her senses. She jogged over and took out a crumpled notice.
