Chu Qianli could have lied to her, at least, to save her own life at this moment.
Moreover, all is fair in war, and she had tried deceiving people before.
But at this moment, for some reason, Chu Qianli just didn't want to compromise.
Had Feng Yexuan already compromised with Hua Rong? It was because he was her son.
Even the esteemed Prince Xuan had to compromise for the sake of family ties.
But what reason did she have to do so?
"I have studied Feng Qihe's蛊毒 (gu poison), and I also promised to cure him. Unless I am unwilling, no one can force me."
"What did you say?" Hua Rong's face instantly darkened.
Although Chu Qianli couldn't see her features clearly through the black veil, she could tell from her exposed eyes that Hua Rong was furious.
"Say that again!" Hua Rong gritted her teeth.
"What? For so many years, has no one ever defied you?"
This woman, where did she get her superiority complex from, always so condescending.
Chu Qianli sneered, she simply wouldn't indulge her!
"I said, I will cure Feng Qihe's蛊毒 (gu poison) when I'm happy and not when I'm unhappy. It has nothing to do with you! And you have no right to stop me."
"You are merely a 'deceased' concubine. Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"
"You dare!" Hua Rong was enraged!
Never had a junior dared to be so arrogant in front of her!
Did this girl truly not fear death?
"You think..."
Suddenly, with a bang, the sharp sound of a bullet pierced the cold air around them.
Chu Qianli had been waiting for her to get angry, to be furious!
At the moment her rage was burning, the gun from the Qiankun Chain had fallen into her hand.
With only a few bullets left, one more was gone!
But she still underestimated Hua Rong's speed!
The bullet was fired towards Hua Rong's arm, but Hua Rong could instantly shift her position.
The bullet only grazed her arm, drawing a bloodstain.
It barely caused any significant damage to the flesh.
"A mere trick, and you dare to show off in front of this seat! You're seeking death!"
Hua Rong was truly provoked this time. This damned wild girl was not worthy of being by her Xuan'er's side.
"Even if I support a fake Chu Qianli, I don't need a disobedient good-for-nothing like you!"
Therefore, such a useless person could be destroyed. Keeping her in this world would bring her no benefit!
With a whoosh, before Hua Rong's palm strike even landed, the gust of wind had already stirred up all the surrounding dust, sweeping towards Chu Qianli.
In an instant, strong winds arose, kicking up sand and stones.
Withered branches and leaves were swept up and shot towards Chu Qianli. Even the lifeless dead leaves felt like knives, carrying a sharp and chilling aura.
Chu Qianli's arms and face were cut by one bloody gash after another.
Hua Rong truly intended to kill her!
And this time, no one could protect her anymore.
The blood in Chu Qianli's chest churned violently. The surge of true qi in her dantian, which had been appearing intermittently recently, was fiercely suppressed by Hua Rong's internal energy.
The more it was suppressed, the tighter it became, until it felt like an expanding ball being compressed to its absolute limit.
Chu Qianli felt her entire body burning. The suppressed true qi in her dantian was like a fireball, making her consciousness begin to blur.
Hua Rong's palm strike suddenly intensified! She had already reached Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli felt a wave of dizziness.
She truly couldn't breathe anymore!
The fire in her dantian was burning her entire body as if it were about to explode.
So uncomfortable, so painful.
Suffocating!
Explosion!
Madness!
She finally couldn't help but let out a scream and pushed out a palm: "Ah..."
