The Evil Emperor’s Favored Concubine: Divine Doctor Ninth Miss

Chapter 54: This little girl is too cruel



“No! No! I’m an alchemist! You can’t arrest me! The prescription is mine! Why would you believe this little girl’s story? Why not believe me?” Zhao He shouted desperately. “She’s the one who stole it! She stole it from me! The Dan Pavilion confirmed that I’m the real master!” However, the crowd no longer regarded Zhao He with the admiration and adoration they once did. Instead, they felt nothing but disgust and contempt. No one would trust him again.

Panicked, Zhao He looked toward Feng Tianqi and pleaded, “Your Highness, save me!”

Feng Tianqi frowned, casting cold and angry eyes in Zhao He’s direction. This treacherous act had led him astray and nearly ensnared him. Now, those around him looked as if they were ridiculing his ignorance. Feng Tianqi wished he could do more than just reprimand Zhao He; he wanted to punish him severely.

On the other side, Jun Yunxue’s face had turned as dark as a stormy sky. She had placed her trust in Zhao He, only to end up embarrassed and humiliated. Damn Zhao He!

How could it have come to this?

How could he, who was on the verge of becoming famous in the Tianzong Kingdom, now be ruined and despised by all?

It was Jun Jiu!

It was that girl. She was responsible for all of this!

Zhao He suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with resentment and madness as he glared at Jun Jiu. But before the guards from the Dan Pavilion could apprehend him, Zhao He rushed toward Jun Jiu in a frenzy. “I’ll kill you! The pill recipe is mine!”

“Watch out!”

“Quick, catch Zhao He!”

Jun Xiaolei’s eyes widened with nervousness. “Sister Jiu, be careful!”

As Zhao He charged toward Jun Jiu, the hearts of the onlookers raced. They watched the tall and burly man closing in on the petite and beautiful girl. It was obvious who was physically stronger.

The distance between them grew shorter, but Jun Jiu remained unmoving, as if she were unfazed. Was she too terrified to react? Was she hiding?

Suddenly, a glimmer of silver appeared, momentarily blinding everyone.

“Ah!” A high-pitched scream pierced the air, but it wasn’t Jun Jiu who had screamed.

Everyone turned their attention immediately to see Zhao He, who had been charging at Jun Jiu, now retreating in terror. His hands were raised, and they were covered in blood. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that he had severed the tendons in his own hands, shattering his bones and leaving only skin and flesh.

Jun Jiu, with a cold smile on her lips, played with the dagger between her fingertips.

Hiss!

The brutality of the petite girl left everyone in shock.

Zhao He had actually been scared to death? It was hard for everyone to believe.

In the silence that followed, Jun Yunxue’s voice cut through like a thunderclap. She scolded Jun Jiu, “You’re just a young girl! How could you be so ruthless? You’ve already crippled his hands and rendered him useless. Now, you want to cut out his tongue and scare him to death!”

Jun Jiu turned around, her expression cold as she looked at Jun Yunxue. “It’s none of your business.”

“Meow, meow!” That’s right, it’s none of your business!

What kind of White Lotus act is this? Isn’t she just trying to manipulate public opinion and tarnish the reputation of the owner again? Did she want to destroy the master’s reputation once more? She’s just as bad as her mother, Shangguan Yirong.

Jun Yunxue had indeed concocted this plan, but she failed to realize that Jun Jiu’s ruthless actions had shocked everyone. Moreover, they were now ashamed of their previous praise for Zhao He. Public opinion? It didn’t even make a ripple.

Not only that, even Feng Tianqi looked at her disapprovingly. “Xue’er, how could you say that? Zhao He deserves to face the consequences! He’s already dead, and it’s too easy for him now.”

“Your Highness,” Jun Yunxue looked at Feng Tianqi, taken aback.

She had forgotten that Feng Tianqi had been deceived by Zhao He and was furious with him. This was a misstep on her part!

Jun Yunxue immediately bit her lip, and her elegant and noble demeanor faltered, giving way to a more subdued posture. Seeing this, Feng Tianqi quickly put away his displeasure and gently held Jun Yunxue’s hand. “Xue’er, I may have been too harsh in my words. You’re too kind.”

Ugh! Xiao Wu simply made a gagging motion.

Kind? Feng Tianqi might have misunderstood the concept of kindness.

“I’m not in the mood to witness the lovey-dovey scenes of scoundrels and schemers,” Jun Jiu said. She hooked her finger, and Xiao Wu jumped into her arms. When she turned to leave, Elder Dange stopped her, guilt evident on his face. “Young lady, today’s events were a mistake on the part of Dange. Please accept my apologies.”

Without waiting for Jun Jiu’s response, Elder Dange took out a token. “This is Elder Chan’s token. With this, you can freely enter and exit the Dan Pavilion, use the alchemical furnace, and access some medicinal materials, among other privileges. By the way, have you registered as an alchemist yet? I can personally handle your registration for you. May I know your name?”

Registered as an alchemist?

Jun Jiu had indeed been planning to do so. She accepted the token from Elder Dange and revealed her name with a hint of pride. “Jun Jiu. Jun Zijun, to be exact. Count it as nine.”

“What? Your name is Jun Jiu!”

“Jun Jiu?”

Feng Tianqi and Jun Yunxue exclaimed in disbelief from behind.

The reactions were so loud that they caught the attention of everyone in the Dan Pavilion. They all stared at Jun Jiu, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief, as if they were witnessing a miracle.

“Your name is Jun Jiu!” Jun Yunxue stared at Jun Jiu in disbelief.

Everyone shared her disbelief. How could she be Jun Jiu? The Jun family’s trash was known for being shameless and arrogant. How could she have the same name as this beautiful, imposing, confident, and powerful young girl?

She couldn’t possibly be the same Jun Jiu!

Feng Tianqi, suppressing his inner disgust, offered a kind suggestion on the surface. “Forgive me for being blunt, but you should consider changing your name. The name Jun Jiu is associated with shame and disgust in the imperial city.”

“Oh, is that so?” Jun Jiu replied with a smile. “I think the name Jun Jiu is just fine.”

“Jun Jiu?” Mo Wuyue’s voice, lazy and intoxicating, broke through. Jun Jiu glanced sideways to see him standing beside her protectively.
