Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

248 Queen’s Goddaughter

“Master, we also discovered something else on Spirit Mountain. It might be related to what you asked us to investigate,” Kong Yao suddenly said secretively.

Kong Rui frowned slightly and was about to blame Kong Yao for being so secretive when she heard him speak.

“We found that evil woman’s corpse and that ugly fellow with the big tail!” Kong Yao said with a disgusted expression.

Kong Rui was stunned at first and was clearly baffled about who Kong Yao was talking about.

Only then did Kong Shu explain, “It’s the corpse of the woman who always wears purple clothes. The corpse of the flying snake was disassembled until only bones were left.”

“That’s right! That corpse has already been bitten until there’s nothing left! However, I recognized that damn flying snake at a glance!” Kong Yao wasn’t to be outdone.

“You mean Zi Xuan and her flying snake from High Heaven Pavilion?” Kong Rui blinked in disbelief.

Kong Shu nodded heavily. “That woman’s clothes were tattered, and her flesh had been bitten to pieces. However, the flying snake beside her was even worse. Only a skeleton was left!”

Kong Rui looked puzzled when she heard Kong Shu’s description. “I know that Zi Xuan and the flying snake’s corpses were thrown to Spirit Mountain, but if the spirit beasts of Spirit Mountain ate their corpses, there shouldn’t be any bones left!”

“I don’t think it was done by the spirit beasts of Spirit Mountain!” Kong Yao continued, “I summoned two spirit beasts to ask. They said that a group of crazy people attacked that woman and the flying snake.”

“A group of crazy people? Could it have been Nie Yin and the others?” Kong Rui exclaimed in surprise. “That means Nie Yin already knows that Zi Xuan is dead.”

“I think so.” Kong Yao nodded and then said, “We encountered that Night Beast near those corpses! It seemed to be looking for something. When it saw us, it rushed forward without any hesitation. We didn’t want to kill it, but we didn’t expect it to be so aggressive, so…”

Kong Yao looked like he didn’t do so willingly.

When Kong Rui saw Kong Yao’s sheepish expression, she was amused.

Kong Shu pulled Kong Rui’s arm. “Master, that Night Beast was really strange. It seemed to be very hostile to us. At that time, we just wanted to find some clues related to Nie Yin from those corpses, but it acted as if we had touched its things and rushed over without a care. If not for the two of us joining forces, I’m afraid it would have been very difficult to defeat it!”

When Kong Rui heard Kong Shu’s words, an idea suddenly appeared in her mind. “Are you saying that the Night Beast was guarding the corpses of Nie Yin’s subordinates?”

Kong Shu thought about it for a while before nodding heavily. “That seems to be the case! But why does it care so much about those corpses?”

“Someone probably sent it there!” Kong Rui was even more certain of her guess now.

This Night Beast was probably raised by the Nie family!

“The Night Beast was sucked dry by you two?” Kong Rui looked at the two little fellows again.

Kong Yao patted his stomach as he nodded heavily and said, “That’s right! There’s nothing left!”

“Where’s the skin?” Kong Rui confirmed again.

Kong Yao and Kong Shu exchanged looks. “It’s still on Spirit Mountain!”

Kong Rui’s eyes darted around before she said to the two of them, “Then go to Spirit Mountain again and bring back the Night Beast’s skin!”

Kong Yao and Kong Shu looked at each other again. Although they didn’t know what Kong Rui wanted to do, they didn’t hesitate to follow her orders.

After the two of them received the order, they transformed into spirit beasts again before rushing out of Fragrant Garden.

…

“Miss, something bad has happened!” Ling Nuo’s voice sounded outside Kong Rui’s room.

After Kong Rui opened the door, she saw Ling Nuo looking at her anxiously.

“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?” Kong Rui asked. She was already used to Ling Nuo acting flustered.

“I heard that after a young lady from the Li family entered the royal family a few days ago, she was accepted as the queen’s goddaughter and the queen is currently arranging her marriage with Young Master Nie!” Ling Nuo couldn’t help but lick her dry lips.
