Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius! Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Performance Before the Competition
Kong Rui naturally didn’t want to miss this opportunity either.
She took a step forward and said to the Patriarch, “Patriarch, why don’t you let me fight the princess? It’s better than embarrassing her!”
The Patriarch felt that it made sense, so he said to the Queen, “Queen, why don’t we let Ling’er and the princess spar and let everyone see the might of the Phoenix?!”
Since the Li Clan’s Patriarch had spoken, the queen couldn’t say anything else.
Although Wen Qiong was unwilling, she couldn’t be too obvious.
She whipped the silver whip in her hand and said, “Alright! Then let me spar with you!”
Kong Rui didn’t reply to Wen Qiong. Instead, she walked towards the center of the Bestial Battle Arena.
Unlike the day before, Kong Rui didn’t have a griffin with her. Instead, a small falcon stood on her shoulder.
“What? Are you unwilling to let that griffin of the Li family out for everyone to admire?” The Lei family elder’s voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
“That’s right! Why isn’t the griffin here today?” Someone immediately echoed.
Someone started to add insult to injury. “This lady from the Li family seems young. She probably hasn’t tamed that griffin yet!”
“I guess yesterday was just the Li family’s show! How can a griffin be tamed by just anyone?” Some people had already started to conclude.
Little Lion heard everyone’s discussion and was about to stand up to defend its master when Kong Rui stopped it. “No hurry! Don’t move!”
Without waiting for Kong Rui’s response, the Li Clan Leader had already jumped up and shouted, “Ling’er has tamed more than one spirit beast. Today’s competition is just the preliminary round. There’s no need for an ancient divine beast like the griffin to appear!”
Upon hearing the Li family’s patriarch’s words, there was an uproar.
No one expected a junior from the Li family to be able to tame so many spirit beasts.
Some people could also tell what the Li Clan’s Patriarch was implying. That griffin was really tamed by this young lady in front of them who only had a ninth-level spiritual body!
There was an uproar.
Wen Qiong frowned. She was unwilling to let that little b*tch steal her limelight again.
She waved the silver whip in her hand and shouted at Kong Rui, “Sister Ling! Make your move!”
Kong Rui whispered a few words to the falcon beside her, and the falcon quickly flew into the sky.
In the next moment, the sound of an eagle cutting through the sky even made everyone present feel dizzy.
Wen Qiong suddenly swung the silver whip in her hand at the west gate. A blood-red figure instantly flew out of the gate.
“The phoenix is the king of all birds. This falcon will bow down to the king!” One of them had already predicted the outcome.
“I guess that little eagle is too afraid to come back!” Someone had already begun to mock the still missing falcon.
It rushed in front of Kong Rui. Just as everyone thought that it would attack Kong Rui directly, it suddenly turned around and shot towards the direction where the falcon had disappeared in.
For a moment, the two spirit beasts disappeared.
“What… what’s going on? Both spirit beasts disappeared?” Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Princess, quickly get the phoenix to capture that falcon!” Someone shouted at Wen Qiong and was already looking forward to the phoenix displaying its might and capturing the small falcon.
Wen Qiong was stunned.
She had clearly asked the phoenix to attack Kong Rui, so why was that fellow chasing after the falcon?!
She was indeed a difficult fellow to tame!
She was exactly the same as her damn master!
Wen Qiong gritted her teeth and waved the silver whip again before whipping it towards the sky.
The crack seemed to tear a hole in the sky.
In the next moment, a brown-black shadow swooped down towards the Bestial Battle Arena.
It was so fast that everyone present only had time to see an afterimage.
The eagle seemed to be frightened and returned to Kong Rui’s side while letting out a sorrowful cry.
Wen Qiong looked at the eagle and thought that the phoenix was at an advantage.
She waved the silver whip again and hooked a silver chain that was faintly discernible in the void.
A shrill cry was heard. In the next moment, a blood-red figure slid down from the sky.
Wen Qiong suddenly retracted her silver whip. The phoenix’s body fell to the center of the Bestial Battle Arena with a puff and raised a cloud of dust.
“It’s over just like that?”
“Who won?”
“It ended without us even seeing the process?”
The people present discussed animatedly, very dissatisfied with this match.
Kong Rui’s heart ached as she watched the little phoenix flop up from the ground and looked at her with hopeful eyes.
