The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss - Chapter 47

Nan Gong Yu, gritting his teeth and glaring at Xiao Qingcheng with fierce intensity, demanded, “What did you just say?”

Xiao Qingcheng calmly met his gaze and nodded affirmatively, “Miss Qingcheng said she would help me detoxify, and she also told me that someone would try to harm me today, and that someone would kill your mother, that old witch!”

“Try repeating that again. Do you think I won’t snap your neck right now?” Nan Gong Yu fiercely grabbed Xiao Qingcheng’s shoulder bones, but she remained unruffled and composed.

From a distance, Xiao Qingxue and Xiao Qingqing’s faces turned pale subconsciously. Both of them cast a pleading look towards Lin Fen. Lin Fen immediately coughed and said, “You child, you’re really talking nonsense. You didn’t leave Madam’s courtyard all day yesterday. You must have dreamed about Miss Qingcheng last night. Don’t spout such nonsense here!”

Lin Fen’s words caused a flicker of doubt in Nan Gong Yu’s eyes: “Xiao Qingcheng, do you dare to lie? If I don’t kill you today, I won’t be able to quench my anger!”

From a distance, Xiao Qingxue added with a smirk, “Third sister, if you do something wrong, you should take responsibility. If you have the guts to poison the matriarch, you should be prepared to face the punishment of flaying and dismemberment!”

Xiao Qingqing also joined in with a laugh, “Hehe, Xiao Qingcheng’s mother was a witch. I didn’t expect that Xiao Qingcheng herself would also act so improperly. To take revenge on the young master, she actually targeted the matriarch. How detestable!”

Xiao Feng also spoke up, “Wretched girl! Don’t you dare admit your mistake and accept punishment?”

The onlookers around them all cast various hostile glares at Xiao Qingcheng. However, the target of everyone’s criticism remained unmoved. Xiao Qingcheng’s bright, star-like eyes calmly looked at Nan Gong Yu.

“Miss Qingcheng said she will come to help me soon. If you don’t believe it, we’ll see about that!”

“That’s impossible! She’s already left and won’t come back!”

“Who says so?” Xiao Qingcheng retorted.

From a distance, Xiao Qingqing, watching the standoff, signaled to the hidden guards she had arranged in the air. Immediately, a group of black-clad figures descended from above and surrounded Xiao Qingcheng from all directions.

“Xiao Qingcheng is trying to harm Young Master Nan Gong. Why haven’t you rushed forward to subdue her?” Xiao Qingqing’s command prompted the guards, who had been waiting for Xiao Feng’s orders, to draw their swords and charge at Xiao Qingcheng.

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Qingcheng turned and ran. Her running speed was incredibly fast, almost blurring into the horizon. The guards were momentarily stunned, and by the time they reacted and gave chase, she had already vanished.

On one side, the entire Xiao residence was in a state of panic due to Fu Yingsi’s poisoning. On the other side, Xiao Qingcheng’s bizarrely swift escape caused all the hidden guards of the Xiao residence to mobilize, creating chaos and turmoil.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qingcheng hid behind an outer wall of the Xiao residence, panting heavily. “It seems my cultivation is still not sufficient. Just being chased for a while has left me out of breath.”

Little Pearl, anxious from within her sleeve, replied, “Master, you’re already amazing. At only the second level of inner energy, you managed to outmaneuver dozens of guards at the fourth level of inner energy.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qingcheng curled her thin lips into a smile and said to Little Pearl, “Little Pearl, bring me a long dress and a mask. It’s time for Miss Qingcheng to make her appearance.”

With that, Xiao Qingcheng quickly transformed herself, and in a short while, she looked like an entirely different person. Finally, she placed a silver-white butterfly-shaped mask over her face, making her unrecognizable in every way.

Then, Xiao Qingcheng walked confidently through the main gate of the Xiao residence.

“Who goes there?” A group of guards, who were searching everywhere for Xiao Qingcheng, blocked her path.

“I am Miss Qingcheng, here specifically to see Miss Xiao San.”

“You… you are Miss Qingcheng?”

The masked Xiao Qingcheng nodded slightly, “Indeed!”

“Someone! Quickly inform the young master and the madam. Tell them Miss Qingcheng has arrived!”

With that, Xiao Qingcheng, hands behind her back, easily made her way through the corridors. Just a few hundred meters away from the front parlor, she was intercepted by Xiao Qingxue and Xiao Qingqing.

“Miss Qingcheng, you had a chance to go to heaven, but you chose to step into hell. If we don’t kill you today, it would be a waste of your trouble coming here!” Xiao Qingxue, with a gloomy face and holding a lower-grade spiritual weapon, a silver whip, spoke particularly arrogantly.

Xiao Qingcheng let out a cold laugh, her demeanor cold and nobly detached. “It seems Miss Xiao still hasn’t learned her lesson!”

With that, Xiao Qingcheng raised her right hand, and a flash of golden light appeared. The luminous Empress Sword materialized in her hand.

The guards nearby exclaimed in surprise, “That’s also a spiritual weapon! Wow, it seems to be a mid-grade spiritual weapon!”

“These minions really have no knowledge. This is clearly a high-grade spiritual weapon!”

“What can you expect from such a backwater place?”

After responding to Little Pearl, Xiao Qingcheng grasped the Empress Sword and charged at Xiao Qingxue.

“Last time you pushed me off the cliff, it’s time to settle that score.”

Before Xiao Qingxue could react, she felt a purple blur flash before her face. In the next second, a sharp sword energy was heading straight for her face. Frightened, Xiao Qingxue hastily raised her silver whip and channeled her inner energy to block it.

With a “bang!” Xiao Qingxue was sent flying dozens of meters away, colliding fiercely with a pillar. Xiao Qingqing, who had been standing by waiting for the outcome, turned pale with fear.

“Someone! Someone! Someone is trying to kill the eldest miss. Hurry up and kill her! Kill her! Quickly!” Xiao Qingqing pointed at Xiao Qingcheng, who was surrounded by guards, and shouted with a trembling hand.

Subsequently, more dark figures descended from the sky, completely encircling Xiao Qingcheng.

“Master, channel all your inner energy into the Empress Sword,” Little Pearl advised Xiao Qingcheng while observing the surroundings.

Xiao Qingcheng’s movements were agile and nimble, like a fish swiftly darting through the air. Traces of her movements flashed by, and she executed a series of brilliant and deadly moves. She effortlessly injured the dozens of guards in front of her and then stood neatly before Xiao Qingqing, her dress and hairband still in place.

Xiao Qingqing pursed her lips, watching Xiao Qingcheng, who approached her like a wrathful deity, and gulped, her legs trembling with fear. “Don’t be so smug. The real experts have all gone to chase Xiao Qingcheng. Otherwise, you’ll see what happens.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qingcheng let out a cold laugh, “If you have the guts to poison, you should have the guts to admit it! Xiao Qingqing, don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting. If you anger me, you’ll end up with no remains at all!”

Xiao Qingqing looked up at Xiao Qingcheng, who was approaching step by step, radiating an overwhelming aura, and felt every hair on her body standing on end.
