"Mmm, mmm..." Yu Linglong, lying on the ground, struggled to move. She didn't want to die here.
With the explosion of the thunderous bomb, she didn't know if the masked woman in black and Chu Qianli could escape.
But she herself would definitely be buried in this cave, and no one would save her!
Yu Linglong was truly in a sorry state. Every movement sent waves of pain through her, making it impossible to utter a coherent sentence.
No one cared about her.
Hua Rong continued to walk towards Chu Qianli, now less than twenty paces away.
Although she walked extremely slowly, the distance was still closing, bit by bit.
"Brat, do you really think this thunderous bomb can stop me?"
Chu Qianli met her icy gaze. The power disparity was vast, but there was no fear in her eyes.
"I can't take your life, but senior, once this thunderous bomb explodes, you might survive. However, your face may not remain as it was."
Hua Rong's steps faltered slightly.
Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes, knowing her guess was correct.
"Senior is as beautiful as a flower. If your flawless face were to bear a few scars, how would you face it?"
Her hand slowly lowered, but she gripped the thunderous bomb tighter.
If she slammed it forcefully onto the ground, everyone would perish together.
It might not be fatal, but it could damage her face... Hua Rong's steps halted.
Chu Qianli was merely gambling, and she was lucky; her gamble paid off.
A master who was obsessed with appearance, naturally, cared most about her face.
Back then, the Emperor doted on her, and even after her "death" for so many years, his love for her remained unchanged. This was enough to know how indescribably beautiful Consort Rong was in her prime!
"Hmph!" Finally, Hua Rong snorted coldly and turned towards Yu Linglong.
"Save me, save me..." Yu Linglong now only wanted to get far away from Chu Qianli.
She was truly terrified of this vixen, utterly terrified!
Hua Rong walked up to her and looked at the dirty Yu Linglong with disdain.
Finally, she casually tossed out a rope, which coiled around Yu Linglong.
Chu Qianli almost burst out laughing!
Hua Rong actually intended to drag Yu Linglong away with a rope!
This was something even Yu Linglong herself likely hadn't expected.
"No, no... Ah! Ahhh... Mmm—" In the end, her pressure points were sealed, and no matter how much pain she felt, she couldn't cry out.
Hua Rong was extremely annoyed by her screams.
"It seems you're not much kinder than I am, senior," Chu Qianli said with a smile.
But Hua Rong could never have imagined that Chu Qianli would use such a cheerful demeanor to lull herself into a false sense of security!
While smiling, she flicked her hand, and something was thrown out.
Hua Rong thought Chu Qianli was attacking her and immediately prepared to defend herself. She didn't expect the silver needle wasn't aimed at her.
Instead, it shot directly into Yu Linglong's body.
Yu Linglong immediately foamed at the mouth.
The pain!
"What are you doing?" Hua Rong was furious!
Having lived for decades, it had been a long time since anyone had managed to enrage her to this extent!
Today, she had encountered a wicked girl who was utterly unfathomable.
Before she made a move, you could never guess what she was thinking or what she was going to do.
She had truly never seen a woman with such deep schemes, and she was just a mere child!
"Yu Linglong was brought out by me. If you intend to take her, senior, I naturally have an opinion."
Chu Qianli curled her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes. "I haven't done anything much, just given her some poison. Within half an hour, if she doesn't have my unique antidote, she will surely die."
Hearing this, Hua Rong looked down at Yu Linglong and indeed saw that after foaming at the mouth, her face had turned completely purplish-red!
She had clearly been poisoned!
This damned girl Chu Qianli, how ruthless!
