Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

Even the royal family might not be able to take out so many spirit stones at once!

Unexpectedly, Nie Lin replied without even blinking, “Alright! I’ll send someone to send it over immediately! I want to see the medicinal pill you mentioned tomorrow!” With that, Nie Lin turned around and walked out of the room.

Kong Rui stood rooted to the ground for a long time.

After a long while, it fell silent outside. Kong Rui finally asked the question on her mind, “Do you really need those spirit stones?”

Chao Bai walked to the soft couch at the side and sat down. “I naturally need spirit stones. I don’t want to waste my spiritual energy on him. Moreover, the thing up there is not to be trifled with. There’s no need to take this risk. As for spirit stones, a few hundred of them are enough. However, since we have someone giving them out for free, why don’t we use them well?”

Chao Bai said it matter-of-factly, but Kong Rui was speechless.

Seeing Kong Rui in a daze, Chao Bai patted the seat beside him. “Come, sit down and wait. No matter how powerful the Nie family is, they probably won’t be able to take out these spirit stones in a short period of time. We still have to wait patiently.”

Kong Rui walked to the soft couch obediently and sat down, but she couldn’t help but admire Chao Bai’s lying abilities. He really fooled Nie Lin.

It was fine that he swindled so many spirit stones, but did Chao Bai… really want to save Nie Lin?

Kong Rui turned to stare at Chao Bai and asked cautiously, “Are you really going to refine the pill to save that person?”

If Chao Bai really wanted to save Nie Lin, they would be enemies!

Kong Rui could even feel that she was a little nervous now. She didn’t know where this emotion came from, but it made her feel uneasy.

Chao Bai turned around and lifted the veiled hat. Then, he looked at Kong Rui with a baffled expression. “Am I crazy, or are you crazy? Why would I really save him?!”

“Then why did you ask him for so many things?” Kong Rui asked Chao Bai suspiciously.

Chao Bai shook his head and said, “If I want to teach you alchemy, I naturally have to prepare more things! In the future, if your alchemy skills improve, don’t forget to thank First Elder Nie!”

When Kong Rui heard Chao Bai’s words, she couldn’t help but click her tongue. So this guy had already thought of everything when he raised the conditions. He was really terrifyingly smart!

“Then what pill do you want to teach me how to refine? Can I poison Nie Lin’s medicine immediately?” Kong Rui’s eyes lit up. She wished she could avenge Kong Niang immediately.

Chao Bai knocked on Kong Rui’s hat lightly. “Are you an idiot?! If we poison him to death just like that, won’t we be the most suspicious?”

“Since he was poisoned, it’s normal for him to die from the poison!” Kong Rui didn’t want to let go of this good opportunity.

Chao Bai reached out and gently knocked on Kong Rui’s hat again. “Don’t worry! I won’t let him live! However, he has to die after we leave!”

Kong Rui gritted her teeth. Although unwilling, she could only listen to Chao Bai’s arrangements first. After all, she didn’t even know how to escape from here!

“Alright! I’ll learn how to refine pills from you!” Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai and said solemnly.

Chao Bai lifted his bamboo hat and revealed his smiling face. “Then, you’ll have to listen to my arrangements next!”

Kong Rui nodded in agreement.

The two of them had just finalized their plan when there was a commotion outside the door.

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself, “Is Nie Lin that fast? Or is the Nie family really so powerful?”

This time, Kong Rui had guessed wrong.

The door didn’t open, but Nie Yin’s voice came from the door. “Why is the First Elder using this room? Why does he need someone to prepare so many spirit stones and spiritual herbs? What is he doing?!”
