The queen’s hair was on fire, but she managed to extinguish it. She steadied her crown and roared, “Yin Ling, bring men to arrest this animal!” Everyone was rushing to get out.

“I’ll burn you bastards to death! Return my master to me!” The little phoenix returned to its bird form and spat out flames in the room.

However, it had just been born after all, so its spiritual power was weak and it lacked combat experience. After a while, it was caught by the guard captain, Yin Ling. Yin Ling held it in her hand and smiled sinisterly. “Good girl, I finally caught you.”

“Lock her in the underground chamber and discipline her until she obeys! Cough, cough!” The queen choked on the smoke. She coughed violently into her handkerchief covering her mouth and nose.

Wen Qiong said dejectedly, “What should we do? It doesn’t listen to me at all. The spirit beast competition is coming soon.”

The queen adjusted herself and reached out to comfort her. “Don’t worry. The people in the underground chamber will definitely discipline her.”

Only then did Wen Qiong relax slightly. After all, she felt that the torture in the underground chamber was cruel.

After changing her soul, Kong Rui saw her own body on the ground, but she couldn’t return to the Demon Abyss for the time being. She thought for a moment and decided to use a protective artifact to cover her entire body before getting the Vermillion Bird to send her to the cave on the cliff of the spiritual mountain.

The most dangerous place was the safest place. Before the god in the cave fully woke up, his pressure would definitely be able to help watch over her body.

Of course, she had to hurry. The longer she waited, the more trouble there would be.

“I’d like to do you a favor, Master,” the griffin said, sticking its head out.

“Be good, Little Lion. You’re still young. Hide now and focus on cultivating.”

“Fine,” Little Lion said sullenly.

Little Lion was the name its master had given it, and it liked it very much. It had to cultivate well and strive to help its master as soon as possible.

Other cubs could fight as soon as they were born, but it was so small. Little Lion felt very useless.

In the evening, Kong Rui arrived at the Imperial City.

The sky hadn’t darkened yet. Li Han smiled in front of the Li family’s residence. “Where did you go? You’re even wearing a veil. Are you afraid of being laughed at?” After saying that, she giggled.

Kong Rui smiled meaningfully. “Get lost. It’s none of your business no matter where I go.”

Li Han’s expression immediately turned cold. “Sister, you’re so rude. I’m just afraid that you’ll embarrass our family. After all, which young lady’s face is as rotten as the mud on the ground, like yours?”

Li Han was the most talented girl in the Li family. She already had a third level spiritual body at a young age. Li Ling’s status in the family was lower than hers, so she usually avoided her.

But Kong Rui was the one standing here today. She had no intention of hiding.

“I’m still better than you, Sister. After all, I was once good-looking, but you’ve probably never even been a beauty, right?”

Li Han’s face turned red with anger. She didn’t expect that brainless Li Ling to become so sharp-tongued after returning from a trip.

Wasn’t she afraid of being seen? Then she would let people stare at her!

She stepped forward to tear the veil off Kong Rui’s face, but Kong Rui dodged with a smile.

Li Han was shocked, but then she felt that it was just luck. She attacked again, but Kong Rui still dodged it.

How could that be?! Li Han was shocked.

“Sister, what’s wrong? When did you become so soft-hearted? Do you want me to help you?” Kong Rui smiled.

Li Han saw Kong Rui’s smile and trembled with anger. “You bastard, don’t dodge if you have the guts!”

“Fine, I won’t dodge!” Kong Rui seized the opportunity and predicted Li Han’s next attack, then blocked it with her left hand and slapped Li Han with her right hand.

“How dare you!” Li Han screamed.

She was a legitimate daughter, much more noble than Li Ling, an illegitimate child born to a lowly concubine. She didn’t expect her to dare to slap her today. If news of this were to spread out in the Li family’s residence tomorrow, she would probably be laughed at.

Kong Rui saw her gnashing her teeth and remembered that the last time Li Han bullied her was in the Bestial Battle Arena.

At that time, Li Han was wearing a golden crown and a long red dress. Li Han aloofly badmouthed Kong Rui with the people around her, as if she was a dead dog.

Now, she could finally get revenge!

She wanted to take revenge for all the pain she had suffered!

Something was wrong! Li Han suddenly became vigilant. She felt that the person opposite her was far stronger than her. This stunned her for a moment.

“What are you two doing?” A familiar voice came from the back.

For a moment, Kong Rui didn’t dare to look back. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control her hatred.

She had heard that voice a hundred times, a thousand times. She hated her!
