Chapter 222: 222 Shameless (second update)

"Miss Mo, please do not talk nonsense!" Jia Zhuo’s tone also grew unpleasant, "Chuyi is the unrivaled Bloodline of Fire Bathing! How could she possibly fail to play the Konghou!"

Jia Zhuo had full confidence in Zheng Chuyi.

As he spoke, he turned to Zheng Chuyi and said softly, "Chuyi, don’t listen to Miss Mo’s wild claims. Just calmly play your Konghou without any mental burden."

Hearing this, Zheng Chuyi hid the overwhelming panic in her heart and gave Jia Zhuo a composed nod.

Her fingertips moved slightly, and strands of red smoke began to twine around them.

She was trying to use Spiritual Power to stir the strings of the Konghou.

Seeing this, Jia Zhuo exclaimed excitedly, "Do you see that? Chuyi has already summoned auspicious energy! She will soon draw out the Dancing Dragon and Phoenix!"

Jia Zhuo mistook the strands of red light for the auspicious energy summoned by Zheng Chuyi, after all, just moments before the commoner had elicited a lot of red auspicious energy before drawing out the Dragon and Phoenix!

Thinking this, the smug look on Jia Zhuo’s face grew even more intense.

This time, that commoner is truly doomed!

Not even considering her own status, she actually tried to compete with Zheng Chuyi!

Soon she wouldn’t even know how she died.

Apart from Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin, everyone else observing this scene also showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Chu Jin had played for a long time before she elicited the auspicious energy, so why did Zheng Chuyi manifest it as soon as she touched the Konghou strings?

Could it really be that Zheng Chuyi could bring forth the miraculous sight of the Dancing Dragon and Phoenix?

Everyone had different thoughts, but only Zheng Chuyi knew that this was not auspicious energy at all, but an illusion created with her Spiritual Power.

Why is this happening, she had almost exhausted all her Spiritual Power, yet the Konghou still showed no response!

Why is this happening! Zheng Chuyi bit her lip tightly, her face drained of all color.

No, it can’t be like this, it’s all an illusion, all an illusion, she had just been able to play the Konghou!

It must be all an illusion, she is the True Destiny Maiden, the only one in the world to possess the Bloodline of Fire Bathing.

With that thought, the look on Zheng Chuyi’s face eased a little, and images of Chu Jin playing the Konghou came to mind. Following her example, she also slowly closed her eyes and swiftly began to pluck the strings.

Pluck, wipe, hook, strike.

The movements were smooth to the extreme, yet still no sound poured from her fingers, only a bone-chilling pain kept surging from the tips, and soon, her white hands turned into a bloody mess, too gruesome to behold.

Yet the tight strings of the Konghou didn’t even tremble, remaining rigid, the proud Konghou had now become a mute instrument.

But Zheng Chuyi was still unwilling to give up, her fingers continually moving on the strings, the bright red blood staining the pale yellow strings, yet the air remained deadly silent.

Almost no one had anticipated such an outcome.

They had nearly all prepared themselves for Zheng Chuyi to conjure the miraculous sight of Dancing Dragon and Phoenix.

To think that in the end, Zheng Chuyi no longer even had the ability to make the Konghou sing.

Disappointment appeared on everyone’s faces.

Jia Zhuo stood there dumbfounded, her face which had begun to flush, now turned as white as paper, as if her soul had been drawn out.

She could hardly believe what she was seeing!

Just a moment ago, Zheng Chuyi had summoned the auspicious energy, but why couldn’t she play the Konghou?

Feeling the excruciating pain from her fingertips, Zheng Chuyi abruptly opened her eyes, stood up from the stool, and with features contorted, bellowed at Chu Jin, "You sorceress! What have you done to my Konghou? Why has it become a mute instrument now? Give me back my Konghou!"

The last person to play the Konghou was Chu Jin; it must have been her who tampered with it!

Otherwise, why couldn’t even she, the Maiden of Destiny with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, make the Konghou sing?

It had to be her!

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhuo also snapped back to reality, right, it must have been the commoner who meddled with the Konghou!

Otherwise, with Zheng Chuyi’s bloodline, this kind of thing would never have happened.

Maybe, Mo Zhixuan was helping behind the scenes, otherwise, how could a mere commoner like her have such ability!

"Yes! You must have sabotaged it secretly!" Jia Zhuo also turned the spearhead towards Chu Jin, "You must be jealous of Chuyi sister’s bloodline and status, that’s why you framed her! You are too malicious! Quickly restore the Konghou to its original state, or we won’t let you off!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin slowly turned her head, her crimson lips curling slightly, and her bottomless black pupils looked towards Jia Zhuo and Zheng Chuyi, bringing with them a chilling cold light.

Like a queen, she lifted her chin slightly, "Do you think, I need to be jealous of her?"

Every word, laden with an icy breath.

Suddenly, an invisible aura erupted from her.

And effectively subdued everyone present.

Not a single person dared to question the meaning behind her words.

This was the aura of someone who had long been accustomed to authority.

From Gan Mingxie’s perspective, this person didn’t seem like a teenage girl at all.

But more like a seasoned warlord!

Jia Zhuo was also shaken by this aura, she swallowed nervously, then said, "If, if it wasn’t you, then why has this ancient Konghou turned into a mute instrument?"

The confidence was already noticeably lacking.

A mere commoner, with no Brother Nine, she was nothing!

Nothing to be afraid of!

Jia Zhuo comforted herself inwardly.

"Who says it’s turned into a mute instrument," Chu Jin walked leisurely to the Konghou, lightly lifted her hand and casually stroked the strings, and immediately ethereal music poured out from between her fingers.

The music spiraled around the beams, and the last sliver of hope in Jia Zhuo’s eyes also vanished completely.

Zheng Chuyi staggered backwards several steps, leaning on the column behind her. She looked down at her own hands, blurred with flesh and blood, then at Chu Jin’s slender, fair hands, filled with resentment and anger in the blink of an eye.

"Miss Jia Zhuo, you and your sister Chuyi shouldn’t struggle in vain," Mo Qingyi glanced at Zheng Chuyi and Jia Zhuo with endless mockery in her eyes, "Don’t you understand such simple logic? Obviously, because your sister Chuyi’s bloodline isn’t high-level enough, the ancient Konghou has already recognized my sister-in-law as its master. You’ve lost, and if you can’t stand to lose, you shouldn’t have played in the first place!"

Mo Qingyi continued.

"The wager was initiated by Zheng Chuyi, and she set the terms herself. Oh, now that you realize you’ve lost, you start biting back? Isn’t that a bit too shameless? After all, there are so many of us watching! Just now, who was the one who repeatedly said that the loser should not go back on their word and act dishonorably? Now, does your face hurt? It doesn’t hurt you, but I feel the pain for you!"

"Qingyi is right, this ancient Konghou possesses great Spiritual Power, has a proud nature, and once it recognizes a master, no matter the person’s bloodline, they cannot forcefully play it. All this is fate," the Mo family’s matriarch, sitting in the main seat, spoke at this moment, "And moreover, a person should keep their word, honor bets, Zhixuan, that contract, let Chuyi sign it sooner rather than later."

The most excited and exhilarated person tonight was undoubtedly the Mo family’s matriarch.

She didn’t expect her favorite daughter-in-law to also possess the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, which meant that the Mo family truly had hope!

She could rejoice at the thought of embracing a chubby grandchild sooner rather than later.

It seems this mundane world is really a good place, able to nurture a person with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing.

It seems, Zhixuan’s choice was the right one.

The Mo family’s matriarch was the most authoritative person in the Mo family, so her words also carried a definite authority.

Her statement undoubtedly sent Zheng Chuyi plunging into the abyss of hell.

A cold sweat even broke out on Jia Zhuo.

Neither of them had anticipated such an outcome in the end.

"No! Aunt Mo, you can’t do this to me! I am the True Destiny Maiden with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing! You can’t be so unfair..."

Towards the end, Zheng Chuyi’s voice had already taken on a sobbing tone.

Jia Zhuo’s pupils also started to dilate, it was clear from the Mo family’s matriarch’s words that she had given up on Zheng Chuyi.

Without any consideration for the special Bloodline of Fire Bathing she possessed.
