“Thwack!”

Just after she regains consciousness, Nangong Ning suddenly feels that her cheeks tingle with burning as soon as a slap mercilessly falls on her face.

The blow is so hard that her head strikes something with a bang. Instantly she feels dizzy.

“Bitch! How come that you have actually come to life! No poison could have killed you!” A shrill female voice rings in her ears.

Nangong Ning manages to open her eyes with her confused head and sees a red figure in front of her blurred eyes. The red colour is so bright that it makes her dizzy again.

Before she knows what's going on, Nangong Ning feels that something powerful seizes her from the opposite side suddenly.

She is hauled forward, dragged along, and she staggers on.

“I don't believe that you could escape from over a hundred varieties of venomous insects in the toxic abyss!”

As soon as the atrocious voice comes to an end, Nangong Ning feels that she is so pushed away by something powerful that she couldn’t help falling down. However, instead of falling on the ground, she finds herself falling fast with a sense of weightlessness.

At that critical moment, the instinct reflection of her body is to grasp something with her hands in order to save her life. In her desperate and random act, she finally catches something with her hands.

She comes to her sense when she feels the burning pain of her hands with her body hanging on the cliff.

Opening her eyes, she looks up and finds that a woman in a blood-red dress holdinga large stone ready to drop it on her.

From her cruel and twisted face, Nangong Ning knows that this woman wants to put her to feath! Not only did she push her off the cliff, but also the woman is ready to drop the stone on her!

What grudges does the woman have on Nangong Ning?

Nangong Ning is at loss at this very moment.

Isn’t that I was in a car a moment ago? Isn’t that I was seized and was to be brought to their headquarters?

Why am I here to be murdered by a woman?

Just as Nangong Ning is baffled by all these things, the woman holding the big stone suddenly catches a glimp of her bracelet and asks: “Nangong Ning! How come the bracelet is on your wrist？”

Nangong Ning looks at her wrist and there is indeed a bracelet. Though it looks like an ordinary jade bracelet, it isin fact...

Before Nangong Ning figures out the situation, the woman puts the stone down crazily and reaches out her hand to Nangong Ning. The latter, who of couse does not want to lose her life, is climbing up with the help of the woman. But before she reaches the top of the cliff, the woman tries hard to get the bracelet from Nangong Ning.

Trying to avoid the woman’s action, Nangong Ning moves aside in haste and all of a sudden she slips and falls down without even crying out.

On seeing this, the woman on the edge of the cliff is so frightened that her face turns pale. But in a second, she laughs wildly.

“Nangong Ning! Even without the phoenix bracelet, I will marry the Crown Prince without any problem. Keep the phoenix bracelet with you and you will be the food for the venomous insects, ha ha!”
