Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The rumors of the divine doctor Ding Mao fawning over a little girl quickly spread throughout the capital.

The guests in the teahouse that day were witnesses. Some people even said that Doctor Ding called the young lady mentor.

Even a peerless doctor like Doctor Ding acknowledged her as his mentor. What kind of expert was she?!

For a moment, there were all kinds of guesses about the little girl’s identity.

Kong Rui didn’t know the rumors about her. Ever since the waiter came to Fragrant Garden again, she had locked herself in her room for two days.

Ling Nuo was worried about her condition, but every time she asked, Kong Rui answered perfunctorily to express that she was still alive.

Ling Nuo didn’t dare to barge in to see what was going on. She could only wonder when Young Master would come back!

Kong Rui had been studying the mental cultivation technique the old man had given her for the past two days in hopes of quickly increasing her cultivation level so that she could think of a way to save Kong Yao and Kong Shu as soon as possible!

Ever since she fought Zi Xuan last time, she realized that the demonic energy and spiritual energy in her body were not very stable. Sometimes, there would even be conflicts in her body.

After using the cultivation technique, she would feel sleepy and wouldn’t be able to recover until a few days later.

Kong Rui had to solve this problem as soon as possible and let her cultivation level rise to the next level. Only then could she complete the mission Kong Niang had given her as soon as possible!

Kong Rui sat on the bed as she cultivated her mental cultivation technique with all her attention. She also took out a few pills that Chao Bai had left for her to replenish her spiritual energy.

Because she had lived in the Demon Abyss all these years, the demonic energy in her body seemed to have taken root. Not only could she absorb the surrounding demonic energy, but she could also nurture new demonic energy endlessly.

The spiritual energy ball that had already formed in Kong Rui’s body was surrounded by demonic energy, making it even more difficult for her to eliminate the spiritual energy and only cultivate the demonic path.

Ever since her spiritual energy and demonic energy cultivation level advanced at the same time that day, the spiritual energy and demonic energy in her body seemed to have become tied together. If she wanted to give up on either one, the other would protest with her.

In that case, she could only continue to cultivate spiritual power and demonic power according to her bodily condition.

Although Kong Rui was focused on cultivating, she wasn’t completely unaware of what had happened in Fragrant Garden.

Ling Nuo greeted her outside the door and conveyed the brothel keeper’s dissatisfaction with the sudden suspension of business every day.

In addition, she would report the news about the royal family and the five major families to Kong Rui in detail.

In just two days, news spread that Nie Yin had brought people to the hinterland of Spirit Mountain to look for some spirit beast, but in the end, Nie Yin was carried back because of exhaustion.

The second day after Nie Yin was carried back, Li Han, who was about to be conferred the title of princess, personally visited the Nie family’s residence. This confirmed the news that the two of them were about to get married.

As for the Li family, because of Li Han’s change in identity, the royal family’s guards, who had been making things difficult for the Li family, changed their attitude towards the Li family.

However, the First Elder of the Li family was sick and seemed to be on the verge of death.

It was said that the young master of the Li family, who had just reunited with his family, was still in the royal family and had not returned for many days. There were even rumors that the young master was a hostage left behind by the queen.

Kong Rui had other thoughts about Tong Sheng being left behind by the queen.

Back then, she had arranged for Tong Sheng to return to the Li family because she hoped that he would have the chance to approach the Li family’s secret technique or even the royal family.

Unexpectedly, this kid stayed in the royal family just like that. Apart from the queen’s fear of the Li family, Tong Sheng had probably played an important role in this as well!

If he was just a silly child, the queen probably wouldn’t have kept him in the royal family for so long!

Kong Rui couldn’t help but marvel. That foolish second elder of the Li family actually gave birth to such a smart child.. What a miracle!
