Heaven-defying Phoenix

's eyes flashed with a strong sense of confidence. She currently had the Nuwa divine blood, and two other precious treasures with her, so she would no longer be lacking any spirit stone. Her cultivation would definitely soar in the future, and she would leave everyone behind.    

"Senior Kun Peng, just you wait. I believe we'll meet again soon."    

When she thought of the Kun Peng's last words, a sense of urgency arose in her heart. Compared to the deception between cultivators, she was more concerned about the invasion of demons.    

She didn't even need to ask to know what the chaos caused by the invasion would be like. After all, in her previous life, there were many rumors about the invasion of the enemy. When that happened, the entire world would be in chaos. It would be even more chaotic than it was now.    

After spending an hour to fully recover his strength, Jiu Muli finally stood up with satisfaction. It was already late, and she planned to go to the World Auction House to have a look.    

"I wonder how many spirit stone I will be able to obtain. I believe it won't disappoint me."    

Jiu Muli's eyes flashed with fervor, called out to Bai Qing, and the two of them used their veils to cover their faces again, and walked out of the room.    

"Ninth Miss, you want to go out?"    

Seeing Jiu Muli and Bai Qing dressed like this, the Director Chen could guess what was going on and could not help but to ask them out of curiosity.    

Following the cold war between Jiu Muli and Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng had been constantly changing in the past few days. It was really difficult for him to service Qin Zheng, so when he saw Jiu Muli, he was extremely attentive to him, hoping that the relationship between Jiu Muli and his master could be eased.    

"Yes, let's go to the auction house."    

After all, he could hide it from the Director Chen, and he wouldn't be able to hide it from her. The last time she went out, the reason Qin Zheng didn't chase after her was because he had sent people to keep an eye on her.    

"Oh, okay. Do you want this old servant to come with you?" Director Chen volunteered.    

"No need, I'm just going to take a look."    

Jiu Muli rejected her with a shake of his head, then turned and left. Director Chen was a little disappointed, but he did not say anything in the end.    

However, Jiu Muli didn't walk far before he was stopped by her, and looked at her with a complicated expression.    

After not seeing him for three days, Qin Zheng's face was still ugly, gloomy and gloomy like water. However, there was a tinge of unspeakable exhaustion between his brows, causing people to not know what exactly he had been doing these past few days.    

"What's the matter?" Jiu Muli said indifferently.    

"I just want to remind you to stay away from Ye Kewu. That guy isn't as simple as you think."    

Qin Zheng frowned, his tone somewhat cold.    

Qin Zheng's words caused her to recall the scene from a few days ago. At first, she did not have any other intentions, and similarly, she did not have any other thoughts now. However, she did not expect Qin Zheng to not let this matter go.    

For a moment, Jiu Muli felt that it was extremely preposterous. Qin Zheng's original performance just now was more like that of a child who felt that his beloved toy had been stolen away. In the eyes of the other party, she was just that toy.    

"Do you know who he is?!" Qin Zheng's tone was a little unfriendly.    

Who is he? Who cares about me, now that his blood curse has been removed, the things that I promised to help him have been completed.    

Regardless of how Qin Zheng misunderstood her, she still revealed her attitude in the end. She felt that if she did not, Qin Zheng might continue to cause trouble for her in the future.    

There was less than a month and less before the opening of Star God Pagoda. In this period of time, she decided to focus on cultivation and avoid interacting with others as much as possible. When the time came, she would work hard to achieve good results and exchange them for her freedom.    

This was a last resort, but Qin Zheng was too strong, so she could only compromise temporarily and get along peacefully.    

"You don't understand."    

Qin Zheng coldly snorted, and said: "Her identity is not as simple as you make it out to be. Even the royal father and I are not clear about his background, and there's something very strange about him."    

"You're saying …"    

Jiu Muli was very clear of Qin Zheng's fact that he would never lie.    

His mother was my aunt, and also the youngest imperial sister of the royal father, Princess Changqin, she was known as the number one beauty in the world, but she died right after she gave birth to him. Because of this, the royal father does not like her, but he is still alive and well today.    

Qin Zheng scrunched his face, a trace of unknown killing intent and contradiction flashing across his eyes.    

Jiu Muli was shocked, he never thought that Ye Kewu actually had such a strange background. He could not help but frown: "How did his mother die, and who is his father?"    

Jiu Muli subconsciously asked, in his mind he recalled how the bumpkin guy had taken a fancy to the number one beauty in the world, but was not allowed to, to the point that he was born with a child and had other kinds of dog blood plot.    

However, Qin Zheng's next words completely stunned her.    

"I don't know, I can't find out." Qin Zheng said indifferently.    

"Can't find it?"    

Jiu Muli was in disbelief, even if the number one beauty in the world was to secretly befriend someone, she would probably not be able to hide it from the emperor. Although the royal family wasn't strong, they were still existences that were on equal footing with the three great sect, how could they be weak?    

Such a strong royal family, yet they didn't know who Ye Kewu's father was?    

"Princess Changqin was taken by a mysterious person."    

Qin Zheng's tone was a little indifferent, and continued to speak: "That person was very strong, at that time no one expected this to happen, and tried to investigate further, but could not find the slightest trace of her whereabouts, and Princess Changqin also went missing, her whereabouts unknown. However, when she was finally released by that mysterious person, she was already pregnant with a child."    

Jiu Muli was at a loss for words when he heard such a bullshit story. He could not help but ask in a speechless manner, "Did she tell you where she went?"    

"No, she didn't seem to want to talk about it. After coming back, she decided to live in seclusion. After Ye Kewu was born, she committed suicide."    

Qin Zheng said, then looked at Jiu Muli with a warning: "This kind of child, to be able to grow up safe and sound in the palace, what kind of good person do you think he is? Not to mention his mysterious background, you shouldn't go and seek death for no reason! "    

Jiu Muli's heart was shocked, and he did not know what to say. Ye Kewu actually had such a background, so much that once she was born, her own birth mother would die, and furthermore, her life would be so strange that she would feel goosebumps.    

"No wonder he was so cold. No wonder he had such a vicious aura around him."    

Jiu Muli immediately understood why her opponent's body was similar to Qin Zheng's, but then her heart skipped a beat.    

"Where did he get that drop of blood from? His mother died a long time ago, could it be that it's his father's? "    

Jiu Muli kept guessing in her mind, but she didn't have any leads in the end, so she didn't care anymore. After all, she didn't plan to interact with Ye Kewu in the future anyway.    

"Did you hear that? Stay away from him, he's not a good person." Qin Zheng saw that Jiu Muli had suddenly become distracted, and thought that the other party was concerned about Ye Kewu, and flames flickered faintly in his eyes.    

"Got it, I never intended to bother with him."    

Jiu Muli nodded, then walked out.    

She knew that Qin Zheng was reminding her with good intentions and caring for her, but at this moment, she couldn't be grateful. Maybe he was really worried for her, and it was for her own good.    

"Where are you going?"    

Qin Zheng frowned and asked.    

"Why ask when you already know the answer?"    

Jiu Muli's footsteps paused, he sneered in his heart, and in the end, did not stop.    

These few days, Qin Zheng's subordinates had been monitoring them closely. She did not believe that the other party was not clear about it.    

Qin Zheng frowned, and continued to speak: "I'll go with you, Bai Huaxian is right outside, waiting for you to reveal yourself, it's too dangerous for you to go out by yourself."    

He had already secretly pulled back the people who were originally monitoring Jiu Muli, so of course he wouldn't be able to rest at ease right now.    

Hearing that, Jiu Muli shook his head: "No need, I will make a trip to the World Auction House."    

Qin Zheng's face instantly darkened. Without saying a word, he grabbed Jiu Muli and walked out.    

Seeing that, Bai Qing opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything, and quietly followed behind.    

Jiu Muli was so angry that his face turned green, but he could do nothing about it. In the end, he kept quiet and allowed Qin Zheng to follow her.    

Just take it with you as a pet.    

She comforted herself.    

was not in the mood to speak, Qin Zheng seemed to have long predicted that with the fact that they were not talking much, and due to the fact that Bai Qing's status was not suitable, he did not dare to speak up.    

"Damn it, this slut!" Don't even think about escaping from my palm! "    

In a dark corner, a pair of sinister and angry eyes watched Jiu Muli and Qin Zheng walking shoulder to shoulder from afar. Suddenly, it became extremely frightening, and even brought along an inexplicable craziness.    

This was none other than the Prince Zheng who had personally went to look for Jiu Muli and annulled the marriage with him.    

After Jiu Muli had defeated Jiu Tianxue who had Emperor Bone in his possession back then, the news of Prince Zheng taking the initiative to end the engagement was also made known to others. Their days passed like cooking oil on a fire, and it was unknown just how many people rolled their eyes at them.    

"This woman is This King's!"    

How could he bear with it? Now that he saw Jiu Muli was like a goddess from the nine heavens, the flames of anger in his heart became even more ferocious.    

Today, the World Auction House was no longer as popular as it was three days ago. Instead, it was filled with people who almost stepped over the threshold.    

"I must get one of the Kaixuan Pill this time."    

"I wonder what the price will be, I'm just afraid that if we auction it together, it will definitely fall into the hands of a few great sect s."    

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked them to be rich?"    

From time to time, the voices of cultivators could be heard by Jiu Muli.    

The more people, the better. At that time, the Kaixuan Pill could be sold for a high price.    

She was secretly anticipating in her heart. Before, when her cultivation was not high enough, she didn't think that the spirit stone was that important. But now that her cultivation was increasing, she felt that financial resources were important in this world.    

"Ah, His Highness Duke of Qin, you're here! Invite quickly!"    

When the servant who was in charge of receiving the guests saw Qin Zheng, he was shocked and quickly led Qin Zheng to the VIP room.    

It had to be said that one's identity was a good thing, especially for people like Qin Zheng, who, the moment they appeared, would be warmly received. On the way, there were quite a few people who had expressions of fear, and didn't dare to say much.
