Chapter 29: Spit Out a Hundredfold

"Pfft." Su Chacha spat out fresh blood, her glossy black eyes matching her grimy black face—quite the match.

She, having no time to act, stared fixedly at Shen Qingli before her, "You, you gave the Fire Phoenix Immortal's inheritance to this chicken?"

"Cheep!" The chick protested, "You're the chicken! Your whole family are chickens! It's a Fire Phoenix!"

But Shen Qingli countered its point, "Yeah, I got the inheritance; I can give it to whoever I want—what's wrong with giving it to a chicken? I'm happy to."

"You can still do that?!" The scene exploded!

They had never heard that the inheritance obtained on Profound Mountain could be given away!

Besides, who would give away their own inheritance? That's just a big fool.

But Shen Qingli is different—she's crippled, so giving away the inheritance seems fine.

Shen Qingli also smiled at Bai Renshan, Zhao Yue, Bai Li Chongtong, and Gu Cihe, "Surprised?"

The four of their complexions all showed varying degrees of abnormality…

Especially when they heard Shen Qingli say, "Originally, I could have given this inheritance to you."

For these greed‑ridden people, what could cause them the most pain?

Naturally, the treasure that should have been theirs is gone.

How painful!

Shen Qingli stroked the chick that had shrunk into her palm, fluffy and nice to touch.

She comfortably narrowed her eyes, like a cold, pure night‑blooming cereus—seemingly holy yet especially dark.

"If, after I self‑detonated my Phoenix Soul, you could realize your mistake, apologize, and help me return from the Ghost Gate, this would rightfully be yours." Shen Qingli gave a half‑smile, "But you didn't; you think I'm more worthless and not worth noticing."

"Especially my most beloved junior brother Gu Cihe, that day you humiliated and beat me—did you ever think you and I share the fire attribute? I originally wanted to give the Fire Phoenix Immortal's inheritance to you."

Gu Cihe's face turned pale!

Everyone could see he regretted it.

Su Chacha on the Profound Terrace wanted to retort, but her breath was in chaos; she had to first stabilize her rioting mystic force, lest she explode.

"You did this for her." Shen Qingli pointed at Su Chacha, "Losing the Fire Phoenix Immortal's inheritance and losing your life‑bound sword—was it worth it?"

"Impudent!" Zhao Yue suddenly snapped, "If you really had that intention, what have you been doing all along?"

"Of course I've been watching you." Shen Qingli stopped smiling, her eyes turning icy cold.

"Just how far can you go in your wickedness!"

"Pulling out my phoenix bones isn't enough!"

"And you still come to humiliate and beat me while I'm lying down!"

"You want to throw me into the Heavenly Thunder Pool!"

"You want to cast me into the Endless Abyss!"

Shen Qingli suddenly burst into hysterical laughter, "You treat me like this and still expect me to give you the phoenix inheritance? Giving it to a chick and not to you is perfectly normal!"

The whole venue fell silent…

From the moment Shen Kuo produced the recording charm, people realized the Jade Sect's hypocrisy.

With heavenly dao testimony backing her, even the entire Jade Sect didn't know how to refute Shen Qingli.

Gu Cihe, who usually loved to scold others, has already had his motives exposed by Shen Qingli.

He couldn't help wondering, "If, if he were willing to admit his mistake, would Shen Qingli give him the phoenix inheritance?"

Once that thought arises, it's hard to erase.

Besides, Bai Renshan could keep his composure, he said, "Shen Qingli, talking more is useless; time will reveal hearts. Your mother may have been strict with you, but that was also her high hopes for you."

"Everyone knows a phoenix must undergo multiple rebirths to keep improving; she pulled your bones only hoping you'd regrow stronger phoenix bones."

Nonsense!

She really can spin a tale!

But Shen Qingli doesn't intend to expose it.

"Really?"

Shen Qingli not only countered, she also looked earnestly at Zhao Yue, as if truly hoping she'd reply "Yes."

Unfortunately, Su Chacha recovered, she quickly cried, "Senior sister, you really do hate me—if you hate me, that's fine, but why can't you give the phoenix inheritance to your junior brother? Even if you kill me, I'll bear no grudge."

As she finished, she again fell to her knees with a "thud."

"Chacha, you don't need to do this."

Zhao Yue made a move, immediately catching Su Chacha from the Profound Terrace.

At the same time, Shen Kuo had already shielded Shen Qingli.

By now, he guards against Zhao Yue with a hundredfold vigilance; the moment she acts, he's ready to stop her from delivering a killing blow to Shen Qingli.

"They're treating you like this?" Liu Meng exploded in anger, "Too bad my opponent isn't from the Jade Sect, otherwise I'd beat them to death!"

"Too good for them." Li Yidao's eyes also sharpened, a faint sword whistle seeming to hover around him.

They all thought bone‑pulling was the extreme, not expecting so many brutal follow‑ups.

But it's actually far from over……

Compared to my previous life, this is barely the beginning.

Although they can't personally punish the Jade Sect, they don't hinder the Jade Sect disciples' opponents, who all use vile and ruthless tactics against them.

After all, dealing with such a petty sect, using slightly underhanded methods won't draw criticism—plus, who doesn't want to win in the sect tournament? The higher the rank, the more resources gained.

However, aside from Su Chacha losing to Shen Qingli, all the Jade Sect's disciples still won.

"They do have some skill." Liu Meng fumed.

"No matter, this is only the first round—they've already injured half their force; tomorrow's contest will be tough."

After one rebirth, Shen Qingli is no longer like her past self, who just charged ahead blindly; now she leverages momentum when she can, and when she can't, she creates her own momentum to use.

In the past, she wouldn't and wasn't used to airing her own grievances and pain publicly, over and over. Now she won't; there's nothing to hide—the perpetrator deserves to be repeatedly 'whipped corpse'.

"A clever plan." Zhan Yuefeng smiled and said, "I suppose the Azure Jade Sect won't get a very good ranking, but Su Chacha did receive a divine-level inheritance, so the Profound Envoy will still give a reward."

"No." Shen Qingli said firmly.

Zhan Yuefeng was surprised—this is an ironclad rule.

He was about to ask for advice, but someone blocked their path.

It was the pale-faced Su Chacha, accompanied by Pei Jianshu, Bai Li Chongtong, and Gu Cihe.

"Haven't you been burned enough yet?" Liu Meng jeered first.

Li Yidao and Zhan Yuefeng instinctively stood behind Shen Qingli.

The numbers on both sides happened to be even.

The people dispersing around them instinctively formed a circle.

Su Chacha's eyes immediately reddened, "Senior Sister,"

"Don't, I don't dare to be your senior sister—I'd have my bones pulled out and be expelled from the whole sect."

"Is it meaningful to keep saying these things?" Bai Li Chongtong asked coldly, "The past is the past; you keep bringing it up over and over, which shows your nature is indeed narrow‑minded!"

"If you weren't so nitpicky, how could you have so many troubles? How could the sect possibly grow more disappointed in you? So what you've suffered is entirely your own doing."

"A Li, character decides everything—things have come to this pass; the sect certainly owes you, but you aren't completely blameless either." Pei Jianshu did not want to see Shen Qingli constantly giving Su Chacha a hard time.

Su Chacha seized the moment, dropped to her knees, and said, "Senior Sister, aren't you looking for an apology? Chacha apologizes to you—I was wrong, it's all my fault. Please don't make a fuss; do you really want the whole Xuanti Continent to see the Azure Jade Sect become a laughingstock?"

After that chick appeared, the sect's attitude toward Shen Qingli obviously became a bit delicate! She would not allow such a thing to happen. The more sensible she becomes, the more the sect up and down will resent Shen Qingli, who keeps pressing them.

However, Gu Cihe beside them suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, have you really considered giving the Fire Phoenix inheritance to me?"
