Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

Imperial Capital, Here I Come

Li Ling came to the tree under the barrier of Spirit Mountain. Along the way, she kept scratching, and her skin and flesh were already lacerated.

“Poor thing,” someone sighed as she said.

“Who is it?” Li Ling looked around cautiously. There was no one in sight.

“How stupid. Look up,” Kong Rui said.

“It’s you? You’re that little bitch? Impossible! Weren’t you thrown into the Demon Abyss? Aren’t you dead?” Li Ling completely broke down when she saw Kong Rui sitting on a tree.

Kong Rui crossed her arms and smiled sarcastically. “That’s right. Not only did you guys throw me into the Demon Abyss, but you also pushed me off the cliff.”

“Y-y-you’re her? You’re actually her!”

“Why, why are you haunting me like a ghost? Why are you doing this to me? It was the queen and Wen Qiong who killed you first. Why don’t you target them?!”

“But you’re also an accomplice.” Kong Rui looked down at her.

“I’m an accomplice? Hahaha, do you think I’m that powerful? I wouldn’t dare to. How could I dare to resist them? My mother is just a concubine. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m considered talented among the younger generation of the family, I might have ended up like you.”

Li Ling began to lie. “Do you think the queen, Wen Qiong and the others are good to their own people? These cold-blooded beasts won’t even save their own people. And there’s Brother Nie!”

Tears came to her eyes. “He’s so outstanding. Who wouldn’t want to be with him? As long as I can marry him, given his position in the five great clans, no one will ever disrespect me again.”

Kong Rui looked at her emotionlessly. “You had a choice, but you always made the most vicious choice. You found seemingly reasonable excuses for yourself, but in the end, it’s just due to your evil nature.”

Li Ling was still laughing and crying, as if she hadn’t heard anything.

“Do you still want the antidote?” Kong Rui asked.

Li Ling immediately stopped acting crazy and reached out. “Give it to me!”

Kong Rui gave her half of the Nine Transformation Soul Pill and Li Ling swallowed it without hesitation.

After a while, Li Ling’s expression turned ferocious. She felt pain all over her body, as if her soul was being sucked out. “You lied to me! I’m going to kill you!”

However, after two days and two nights of suffering, and having just taken the Nine Revolutions Soul Pill, she no longer had any strength in her body. She could only watch as Kong Rui consumed the other half.

“Pay for your sins with your life,” were the last words Li Ling heard before she died.

Then, Kong Rui occupied her body. After her soul and body were completely matched, Li Ling’s body began to recover at a visible speed. The wounds healed in a few breaths. This was one of the phoenix essence’s abilities.

Then, Kong Rui took out a new set of clothes from her storage ring and changed into Li Ling’s wrinkled clothes.

She looked toward the imperial capital and said, “I’m back.”

At this moment, the palace was immersed in joy because the beast egg finally had its first crack. Everyone watched in surprise.

“Look, the beast has revealed a foot,” a slave girl said.

As expected, a pale yellow phoenix claw extended from the crack. Then, the entire egg cracked open. The phoenix was finally born!

The little phoenix looked around, as if searching for something, but when it couldn’t find it, its expression became aggrieved and angry.

“Here, little beastie, take a look at your master.” The queen tried to pick it up so that it could turn to look at Wen Qiong, but the little phoenix didn’t appreciate the gesture and pecked her.

“Damn you!” the queen swore while quickly withdrawing her hand. Her fingers were bleeding and there was a gaping wound.

“What are you doing?” Wen Qiong shouted at the little phoenix.

“Bah! You’re not my master, you ugly freak!” The little phoenix turned into a girl about three years old. “Where did you hide my master?”

The little phoenix’s memories from before the egg hatched were vague.

The little phoenix only vaguely remembered that its master was almost fatally injured. The little phoenix used its hard shell to block the attack for her. After that, the little phoenix could no longer feel its master’s aura.

Actually, the little phoenix had already matured, but she wanted to see its master first, so the little phoenix was unwilling to break out of the shell!

However, this group of bad people clearly knew that the little phoenix was of the fire attribute, but they still placed it in the extremely cold ice to force it out. The little phoenix was very angry.

“Didn’t we do so for you to break out of your shell, you little brute?” Wen Qiong asked, rushing forward to shake the little phoenix by both shoulders.

The little phoenix broke free from her and spat out flames, igniting the curtains of the room.

“Aaargh!” everyone in the room screamed.
