Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!-Chapter 214 - 214 The Mysterious Ghost Valley

214 The Mysterious Ghost Valley

When Kong Rui was young, she knew that in the five continents, other than the dark imperial palace where she lived, there were four other continents controlled by different royal families.

The five major families in the five continents were formed by the strongest families on the five continents.

As for High Heaven Pavilion, Haolan Academy, and Profound Heaven Sect, they were independent of these families and formed the upper echelon of the five continents’ sects.

The other families and sects were led by the five major families and the three major sects.

!!

However, other than these many families and sects, there were two other unorthodox sects.

One was the Demon Abyss, where the so-called orthodox sects and families were chasing after and wiping out the demons.

The other was Ghost Valley, which was independent and not controlled by any faction.

Unlike the Demon Abyss, Ghost Valley was a place that cultivators from the five continents didn’t dare to step foot in. Spirit herbs and spiritual flowers were everywhere in Ghost Valley. There were even some spirit beasts that didn’t exist outside. It was a treasure land that everyone coveted.

This also emboldened many people who keep trying to break in.

However, most of them didn’t return after entering Ghost Valley.

It was said that there was poisonous miasma in Ghost Valley and that most people who entered Ghost Valley would die.

The fact that there was a sect in Ghost Valley was only known to the various families and sects in the five continents after that sect went to slaughter a prominent clan in the Crimson Sand Kingdom for some reason.

The people of Ghost Valley rarely appeared outside, let alone interact with other families and sects.

Until now, there was no answer as to why that clan had been slaughtered.

However, later on, most families and sects who wanted to enter Ghost Valley didn’t dare to go rashly, for fear that they would anger the sect in Ghost Valley and cause their clan to be exterminated.

“Master, you were looking for me?” The procuress ran to Kong Rui so hurriedly that her clothes slipped to her shoulders.

Kong Rui frowned and reached out to tidy up the procuress’s clothes. “Who invited those newcomers?”

When the procuress heard Kong Rui ask this question, she immediately looked like she had a lot to say.

After she looked around, she grabbed Kong Rui’s hand before walking to a corner. “These people came with the male master yesterday. The male master said not to ask anything and just take these people in. As servants, we naturally don’t dare to interfere in the master’s matters and can only arrange some work for them.”

“But speaking of these people…” As the procuress spoke, a smile appeared on her face. “Despite how fierce they look, they’re very efficient! They’re much more obedient than the trash we had before!”

Upon hearing the brothel keeper’s words, Kong Rui was even more certain that those people were from Ghost Valley.

Moreover, these people followed Chao Bai to Fragrant Garden.

In other words, Chao Bai’s sudden change might be related to these people?

She could only blame herself for being so busy dealing with the Li family and Wen Qiong that she didn’t notice the changes in Chao Bai.

Since she had confirmed the relationship between these people and Chao Bai, Kong Rui’s suspicion lessened.

However, someone from the Li family claimed to be from the Demon Abyss. What was going on?

Kong Rui stood where she was with a troubled look.

In the distance, a new servant seemed to sense Kong Rui’s troubled emotions, so he hesitated for a moment before coming forward and asking, “May I ask if there’s anything I can help with?”

Kong Rui glanced at the servant. Compared to the other burly fellows, this servant was actually quite handsome, but Kong Rui didn’t notice him at first.

When the procuress saw that the servant had actually taken the initiative to curry favor with her master, her expression immediately turned ugly.

Seeing that the procuress’s expression had changed, the servant immediately smiled and said to her, “Madam, don’t worry. I’ve already finished my work. If there’s anything, just instruct me to do it.”

The procuress lost her temper when she saw the sincere smile on the servant’s face. “There’s nothing for you to do here, so go and see if there’s anything in the backyard that needs to be cleaned. Ever since Su Niang left, no one has done the cleaning in the backyard! Since you’re willing to do it, go ahead!”

Not wanting her judgment to be affected by the servant’s smile, the procuress waved her hand to dismiss him. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

Kong Rui watched as the servant left with a smile. Then, she looked at the procuress helplessly. “Actually, there’s no need to send someone to clean the backyard.” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

The procuress said indifferently, “This servant causes trouble in the front yard, so let him help in the backyard.”
