Jiu Mu Li's heart trembled when she heard it, she never thought that the blood pool was so important to Qin Zheng.

Since his life was at stake, why did he keep it a secret?

Maybe it was because she was pregnant with another person's child that Qin Zheng did not mention a single word to her, and endured everything patiently.

The maturation of the blood-colored lotus!

All of this was thanks to the blood pool!

Unknowingly, she had already owed Qin Zheng this much.

She did not continue to argue with Nan Gong Xue Ji. With a wooden face and complicated thoughts, she returned to her room.

As he sat in his room, Nan Gong Xue Ji's resentful words echoed in his mind, as well as the way Qin Zheng looked when he was being devoured by the Astral Souls, he was unable to calm down for a while!

”That won't do. Since he owes me that much, let's think of a way to help him achieve a breakthrough!”

Jiu Mu Li secretly made a decision in her heart, she was not the kind of person who would not repay favors. Although Qin Zheng had other intentions, she still wanted to touch her face.

”Since the main ingredient is missing, I should look for it myself!”

A flash of determination appeared in his eyes and Jiu Mu Li immediately began to prepare.

Early the next morning, Jiu Mu Li planned to set off and told Bai Qing that she did not need to follow along.

”Miss, are you really going out? That would be too dangerous. ”

Bai Qing's face was filled with worry, but she was extremely anxious. She did not expect that after just a day, Jiu Mu Li would actually think of such an idea.

In the outside world, he was not a match for the Qin Wang Palace. Jiu Mu Li's cultivation level was not even worth mentioning.

After waving Bai Qing away, Jiu Mu Li went to find the Director Chen. Compared to the others, the Director Chen was the most difficult to find.

Sure enough, when Jiu Mu Li revealed her intentions, Director Chen was frightened to the point that her face turned pale. She broke out in cold sweat and said with a bitter face: ”Ninth Miss, did you offend me in any way?”

”No, why would the steward say that?”

Jiu Mu Li was baffled.

”Since we have never offended the Ninth Miss before, can Miss give this old servant a chance to live? Don't make things difficult for my house, this old servant will call you ancestor, I beg of you!” Director Chen still had a bitter face.

”It's not like I won't come, it's not that serious. Don't act like you want to die, okay?” Jiu Mu Li was truly speechless.

”But that's not the case. If Your Highness finds out that you left the palace on your own, he would definitely skin our family. It would be a dead end.”

Director Chen really wanted to cry. What the hell, in his eyes, this woman was no different from an ancestor. Last time, this ancestor only left for a short while, and he was almost chopped into pieces. Director Chen did not dare think that death awaited them.

”Relax, how could I be that important? Worse comes to worse, I'll just leave a letter for Qin Zheng to explain myself!”

”That won't do, Your Highness is not a reasonable person, if he knew that I deliberately let him go, he would definitely chop my family into pieces.”

”Then say that I secretly slipped away!”

”Ancestor, why do you have a grudge against us guards? If you leave now, they will all be minced to pieces.”

”Say I was taken away.”
