The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Chapter 423 Soul Search

"How? Did Ken tell you?"

Su Qingning admired Mu Jiu's miserable and painful appearance from a high position and said slowly, "As long as you are willing to tell me what you know, I will give you the antidote, and you won't have to suffer like this anymore. How about it?"

"Bah!" Mu Jiu spat in Su Qingning's direction and gritted his teeth, "You...are dreaming! I...will not...say...a...word even if I...die!"

Mu Jiu endured the pain so much that veins popped out on his forehead and his expression became distorted, but despite this, he was still stubborn and refused to betray Murong Yan.

"Oh! You're such a tough nut to crack." Su Qingning sneered, "If that's the case, then just keep on bearing it!"

After she finished speaking, Su Qingning closed her eyes and leaned lazily on the chair, not even looking at Mu Jiu.

At the same time, Mu Jiu felt that the bone-gnawing pain seemed to be slowly easing, but he did not feel happy. Instead, he became more and more anxious.

Because he knew that since Su Qingning wanted to torture him, the poison she gave him must not be that simple.

Sure enough, the moment the pain disappeared, an icy chill spread from the bottom of his heart and instantly spread throughout his body. Mu Jiu felt as if he was covered by ten thousand years of ice, and he was shivering with cold.

And after the cold, there was a heat like being burned by a raging fire...

After going through rounds of torture, Mu Jiu was half dead, but despite this, he still gritted his teeth and refused to betray Murong Yan.

However, when the familiar itch spread all over his body, Mu Jiu panicked. He was scared. He didn't want to go through that torture again.

"I...I'll tell you!" Mu Jiu finally let go.

Su Qingning slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were no longer so cold, but instead showed a hint of admiration for Mu Jiu.

"Yes, you have persisted for so long. You are indeed a tough nut to crack."

"Stop... stop talking nonsense." Mu Jiu glared at Su Qingning angrily. He scratched her hard and urged, "Give... me... the antidote."

"Antidote?" Su Qingning raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "When did I say I would give you an antidote?"

"You..." Mu Jiu was anxious. "Didn't you say...that as long as...I...was willing to tell...what...I...know, you would give me...the antidote?"

Su Qingning nodded, "Yes, I did say that, but didn't you refuse?"

Hearing this, Mu Jiu was stunned, "You...what do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Su Qingning raised the corner of her mouth with a malicious arc, "I don't want to listen to you anymore, I plan to see it myself."

See for yourself?

Mu Jiu was confused for a moment, but he quickly realized what Su Qingning meant.

Is she planning to search souls?

Soul searching can be said to be a very cruel thing. The person whose soul is searched may lose his life at the worst, or his sea of ​​consciousness may collapse and he may become a fool at the least.

"No, don't!" Mu Jiu shook his head in fear. "You...you can't...you can't do this. I'll tell you everything."

Su Qingning shook her head regretfully. "What a pity! I don't want to listen to you anymore. After all, who knows whether what you said is true or false?"

Mu Jiu opened his mouth, wanting to say that he would definitely tell the truth, but Su Qingning didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Kyuubi, I leave it to you."

"Okay, little master."

Kyuubi responded, his tone clearly showing a hint of excitement, and it was obvious that he was very happy about the soul search.

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox approaching him step by step, Mu Jiu was so scared that he crawled back in panic. He shook his head in fear and said, "No, don't come over."

"Tsk~"

Jiuwei curled his lips in disgust, and a fluffy tail suddenly emerged from behind him and swung towards Mu Jiu.

The tail wrapped around Mu Jiu's feet and dragged him directly in front of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Why are you running? Do you think you can get away?"

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox so close at hand, Mu Jiu was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah..."

However, he stopped shouting just as he was about to shout because the Nine-Tailed Fox slapped him with its tail and knocked him unconscious.

"Tsk, noisy."

Jiuwei complained in disgust, then he stretched out his hand, placed it on Mu Jiu's head, and began to search his soul.

Because soul searching is a forced exploration of a person's memory, the person being soul-searched will feel extremely painful, as if they are being tortured.

For example, Mu Jiu at this moment, although he was unconscious, his body was still twisted in pain, his face was pale and bloodless, his brows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The Nine-Tailed Fox just glanced down at Mu Jiu coldly, without any mercy because of the other party's painful appearance.

Soon, Mu Jiu's memories played quickly in Jiuwei's mind like a movie.

After extracting the last bit of memory, Jiuwei withdrew his hand without any reluctance and threw Mu Jiu, who was foaming at the mouth, aside.

"How is it?" Su Qingning asked, "Did you find any useful information?"

Kyuubi nodded, "Not bad, I gained something."

"He," Jiuwei pointed at Mu Jiu and said, "is the secret guard of the Murong family."

"Murong family?"

Su Qingning frowned, thinking of the inexplicably disgusting father and daughter at the banquet that day. They seemed to be from the Murong family.

"Could it be...the Murong family is responsible for the disappearance of those children?" Su Qingning was puzzled. "But that doesn't make sense. The Liu family also took action tonight. Could it be that the Liu family and the Murong family are colluding together?"

It’s really not Su Qingning’s fault for making such a guess, but what happened tonight was too coincidental. It’s hard not to suspect that the two parties had colluded and everything was premeditated.

"That's not the case." Jiuwei shook his head slightly, with a strange expression on his face. "The disappearance of those children should have nothing to do with the Murong family. The assassination tonight was purely... um..."

Jiuwei hummed for a long time before slowly saying, "It's because of a woman's jealousy."

"what?"

The two beasts were all confused. Su Qingning blinked blankly, pointed at herself and asked, "Is it because of me?"

Obviously, Su Qingning was thinking of Murong Xiaoxiao. She thought that Murong Xiaoxiao was probably unable to get Mo Lintian's love, so she felt hatred and jealous of her as his original wife and wanted to get rid of her.

"Uh...it's not because of you, young master." Jiuwei shook his head with a strange expression. Under everyone's curious eyes, he slowly said: "The assassination tonight was because of your mother, young master."

"What? My mother?" Su Qingning's eyes widened in shock, and she asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with my mother? Could it be that this is a debt of love owed by my mother?"

Ok……

Kyuubi thought about it and nodded, "You can say that."

"Huh?" Su Qingning was confused. She just said it casually, how could it be right?

From what happened on the day of the banquet, Su Qingning knew the charm of her mother. However, wasn’t this charm a little too great? How many admirers did her dear mother have?
