Chapter 1459: Chapter 1453

Xin Lin reversed her hand, and a palm landed on the Wolf Spider.

The Wolf Spider let out a mouse-like shriek, and the next moment, Xuerou’s face changed drastically.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes glaring at Xin Lin with hatred.

"I’ve heard that some unscrupulous Summoning Masters, in order to allow their Spiritual Beasts to grow faster and to better control them, feed their heart’s blood to the Spiritual Beasts. Success and downfall come hand in hand, but little do they know, by doing so, they become one with the Spiritual Beast. If the beast is injured, they will also be hurt. Tell me, what is the purpose of the Zhu siblings sending you to infiltrate the Crown Prince Mansion?"

Xin Lin calmly withdrew her hand.

With her Near Blood Realm cultivation, the Wolf Spider was utterly unable to resist.

Xuerou was gravely injured as well.

"I know nothing. You can kill or flay me, I won’t resist."

Xuerou, seeing her Spiritual Beast destroyed, laughed in rage instead.

"You don’t have to speak. I can directly kill you, and then let my little darling gnaw you."

Xin Lin said, showcasing the Corpse Leech proudly.

"We are all Summoning Masters, you should recognize this fat worm; it doesn’t have many abilities except eating, whether it’s living or dead, it can nibble everything clean. Once it gnaws you clean, whatever is in your brain becomes crystal clear to it. So whether you’re dead or not, whether you confess or not, we’ll eventually know. Knowing this, do you still want to keep your mouth shut?"

Xin Lin smiled sweetly, but her smile was devoid of warmth.

Prince Yuan and Tu Suxuan stood aside, not speaking.

Xuerou’s face, however, went from white to red, from red back to white.

In the end, her entire body seemed to collapse, lying limp on the ground.

"Don’t let it eat me, I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything."

Whether she spoke or not, it’s a word of death.

Xuerou was a maid in Zhu Qianjun’s residence, bought into the house from a young age. She was different from others, able to communicate with snakes, insects, and rodents, especially spiders, to which she was naturally close.

Once, she was reprimanded by an old servant in the residence; outraged, she secretly commanded a venomous wolf spider to bite the old servant.

After the incident, the old servant died from the poison.

Zhu Qianjun found the cause of death suspicious, and after some investigation, traced it back to Xuerou.

Upon learning the truth, Zhu Qianjun did not kill Xuerou but instead sent people to train her, discovering her talent as a Summoning Master. She later specialized in the skills of summoning.

This Wolf Spider was her most formidable trained Spiritual Beast.

As per Zhu Qianjun’s instructions, she fed her heart’s blood to the Wolf Spider.

The Wolf Spider quickly became telepathically connected with her, following her every command.

After that, Xuerou was sent into the Crown Prince Mansion.

The Wolf Spider was secretly embedded into Prince Yuan’s body when he was caught off guard by Xuerou.

Initially, everything seemed seamless, but unexpectedly, Prince Yuan first experienced an assassination attempt, then an attack at Haotian Platform, and finally, the Wolf Spider affair was revealed.

After recounting all this, Xuerou knelt and refused to stand.

"This matter is peculiar. Logically, with the Wolf Spider inside little brother’s body, those people could have waited a few days until little brother kicked the bucket, saving them the trouble. Why did they go to such great lengths with a failed assassination, then a second attempt at Haotian Platform..."

Tu Suxuan, upon hearing this, felt the situation was rather complicated; the actions of Noble Princess Consort Zhu and others seemed unnecessarily complex.
