The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

The next day, Su Qingning called Chunyu, Qiuyue and Dongxue into the room and prepared the same poison for them as Xia Mian.

"There are three doses of poison on the table, one for each of you." Su Qingning was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Chunyu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Miss Third, spare our lives!"

"Don't worry, this poison won't kill you for now." Su Qingning said calmly, "This poison is called Heart-Eating. It attacks once a month. When it attacks, your heart will feel a piercing pain like being eaten by thousands of insects. If you don't take the antidote for three consecutive months, you will die from the poison."

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Chunyu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue became even more frightened. Their faces turned pale and they asked cautiously, "Miss San, please tell me, have we done anything wrong?"

"No." Su Qingning shook her head.

"Then why did the Third Miss ask us servants to take poison?" Chunyu, Qiuyue and Dongxue were puzzled.

"Because I don't trust you." Su Qingning said bluntly, "I will never allow any hidden dangers to exist in Jinyuan, nor will I give you the opportunity to betray me."

"What about Xia Mian?" Chun Yu raised her head and asked unconvincedly, "Miss Third doesn't trust us, but does she trust Xia Mian?"

"Aestivation has taken the poison."

This simple sentence silenced Chunyu completely, and made the three of them understand that if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice.

Chunyu, Qiuyue and Dongxue slowly stood up. They walked to the table and each picked up a porcelain bottle. Although they were reluctant, they had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and open the bottle cork and swallow the poison.

Looking at the resentment and frustration in the eyes of the three people, Su Qingning knew that they must be resentful of her, but she didn't care, because she had her own way to eliminate this resentment.

"I know that you are resentful and think that I am too suspicious and too vicious, right?" Su Qingning said slowly.

Chunyu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue lowered their heads and said submissively, "Your servants dare not."

"Never mind. I can't control what you think. But as long as you behave yourself, I will give you the antidote on time every month." Su Qingning glanced at the three people standing beside her with their heads lowered, intending to give them a little sweetness. "Of course, as long as you behave well, I won't treat you unfairly."

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Chunyu, Qiuyue and Dongxue could only sneer. Who would believe that the man who had just forced them to drink poison would not treat them badly?

"You all should know that martial arts are respected in the Demonic Martial Continent, and the status of cultivators is far higher than that of ordinary people." Su Qingning carefully looked at the three of them, and then said meaningfully: "If I am not mistaken, Chunyu, Qiuyue, you two should be cultivators!"

Chunyu and Qiuyue looked at each other quietly. Although they didn't know why Su Qingning asked this, they still nodded.

"Yes, Third Miss, I am now a second-level combat master."

"This servant is a second-level water magician."

Chunyu and Qiuyue answered with some pride.

Su Qingning nodded slightly in satisfaction. She looked at Chunyu and Qiuyue and asked, "Do you want to become stronger?"

"Ah?" Chunyu and Qiuyue were stunned by the question. They were stunned for a long time before nodding hesitantly, "Yes."

Hearing the two's answers, Su Qingning's eyes flashed with a smile, and she slowly said, "I can give you resources to help you improve your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Chunyu and Qiuyue's eyes lit up with joy. They asked half-believingly, "Third Miss, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true." Su Qingning nodded gently. She looked at the two people with joy on their faces and changed the subject, saying, "But the premise is that you must never betray me. Otherwise... the consequences will be something you can't bear."

As soon as the words fell, the teacup in Su Qingning's hand instantly turned into a pile of powder. She stared straight at Chunyu and Qiuyue and whispered, "Do you understand?"

Chunyu and Qiuyue were shocked by Su Qingning's move. They nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I understand..."

At this moment, whether it was the spring rain, autumn moon, or winter snow, their hearts were filled with shock and fear, and they dared not feel any resentment.

Seeing that the three of them were shocked by her, Su Qingning took out the things she had prepared long ago.

"This is a primary spirit gathering potion that can increase the speed of your cultivation." Su Qingning placed twenty bottles of silver-white potion on the table, then looked at Chunyu and Qiuyue and said, "These twenty bottles of spirit gathering potion, ten for each of you, should be enough for your cultivation this month."

Looking at the twenty bottles of Soul Gathering Potion neatly laid out on the table, Chunyu and Qiuyue's eyes widened in shock. They hadn't expected Su Qingning to be so generous. That was Soul Gathering Potion! As soon as it appeared, the cultivators would instantly snatch up all the Soul Gathering Potion.

Although Su Qingning took out a primary soul gathering potion, it was in short supply. A bottle of primary soul gathering potion could be sold at a high price of 300,000 gold coins.

Moreover, a bottle of primary spirit gathering potion takes three days to work, and ten bottles will take a month; that is to say, during this month, their speed of absorbing spiritual power will double, and their cultivation level will likely improve.

Chunyu and Qiuyue were extremely excited. They did not immediately reach for the spirit gathering potion on the table. Instead, they knelt on the ground and thanked Su Qingning gratefully. "Thank you for the reward, Third Miss. We will serve you wholeheartedly in the future without any second thoughts."

"Well, get up!" Su Qingning said softly.

"Yes, thank you, Miss Third."

Chunyu and Qiuyue thanked him again with gratitude, then stood up to get the soul gathering potion on the table.

Looking at Chunyu and Qiuyue happily holding the soul gathering potion, Dongxue couldn't help but reveal an expression of envy and loneliness.

She really wanted to be appreciated by Su Qingning like Chunyu Qiuyue, but unfortunately, she was an ordinary person who could not practice cultivation.

"Dongxue, come here."

The cold voice brought Dongxue back to her senses. She slowly walked to Su Qingning and asked in a low voice, "Miss San, what do you want me to do?"

Su Qingning looked up at Dongxue, and she clearly caught the loneliness and envy in her eyes.

"Stretch out your right hand." Su Qingning said softly.

"Ah?" Dongxue didn't understand, but still stretched out her right hand obediently.

Su Qingning glanced at her slender wrist, then raised her right hand, stretched out three fingers and gently placed them on her wrist.

Seeing Su Qingning's actions, Chunyu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue were all shocked. Could it be that the Third Young Lady was also a doctor?!
