Strongest Eccentric Consort-Chapter 721: Before the Expedition

Chapter 721: Before the Expedition

“Miss Qianxue, Suo Yingying is here to see you!”

“She’s finally here.” Lou Qianxue had an unreadable expression on her face. “Bring her to the garden.”

“Yes.”

After a while, in the garden.

“Lou Qianxue.” As soon as Suo Yingying saw Lou Qianxue, she quickly walked toward her. “Where is my sister?”

“She…” Lou Qianxue recalled Suo Yiyi, who resembled her comrade from her past life. She had saved Suo Yiyi on her journey to Baiyan City, but Suo Yiyi eventually died in Qingyun Mountain over the fight for an Abnormal Fire.

Lou Qianxue sighed, feeling complicated. “She has already passed away.”

In some ways, if Suo Yiyi had not given her the blood crystal, Lou Qianxue might not have attained the Phantom Demon Heart Fire. She wouldn’t have survived in the boundary of the Abnormal Fire!

She owed Suo Yiyi a life!

“No! I do not believe it!” Suo Yingying’s eyes instantly became bloodshot, and she furiously stared at Lou Qianxue. “Was it you? Is it because you want to attain an Abnormal Fire? Is that why you hid my sister? What Abnormal Fire do you want? I will search for it for you! Just return me my sister!”

“…” Lou Qianxue took out a blood crystal. “Your sister left this behind.”

“Sister…” Suo Yingying retrieved the crystal and uncontrollably sobbed.

After a long time…

Suo Yingying finally suppressed her grief. “This crystal is our Suo family’s vital blood crystal. Unless Sister died, unless she was willing, she would not have given you the vital blood crystal…”

As she said, the iciness in her gaze toward Lou Qianxue melted away…

“Good that you understand. Your sister entrusted you to me back then. What do you plan to do in the future?”

Suo Yingying obstinately looked at her. “I don’t need you to take care of me. I want to be with Brother Xu.”

“Xu Tailang? What is your relationship with him?”

Suo Yingying’s face turned pink. “Brother Xu saved me!”

“…” Lou Qianxue looked at her and saw that she was head over heels for Xu Tailang. A sigh escaped her lips. “I guess it’s a good thing to be together with the person you like. However, I promised your sister that I would not allow you to become a tool to seize Abnormal Fire for others… Eat this pill. It will seal the power of your bloodline. Outsiders would not be able to detect that you are from the Suo family. Eat it, and I won’t interfere with your life.”

Suo Yingying was momentarily surprised, then took the pill from Lou Qianxue. “Okay, I’ll eat it! I’ve already found Brother Xu an Abnormal Fire anyway. He will succeed one day! My Suo family bloodline is of no more use.”

The two conversed for a little while more, then Suo Yingying took her leave.

“Take the vital blood crystal with you. That’s the only thing that your sister left behind.”

Suo Yingying shook her head and pushed the crystal back to Lou Qianxue. “Sister gave it to you, so it’s yours now! And… you’re more suited to keep it… If you truly wish to do something for me, then tell me who killed my sister.”

“I will avenge your sister’s death. All you have to do is just pay respects to your sister at the Qingyun Mountain when you have time. Also…”

Lou Qianxue paused for a while before continuing, “If you need my help, come and find me here!”

Suo Yingying obediently nodded. “Okay.”

Lou Qianxue sent her off.

Just then, Lou Xiaoxiao and An Shaoning entered the room and brushed shoulders with Suo Yingying as they walked past each other. “Qianxue, why are you so close with Xu Tailang’s lover? You are foes with Xu Tailang, yet you and her… is that okay?”

“It’s fine.” Lou Qianxue smiled. “Sister Xiaoxiao, wait here for a moment. Let me borrow An Shaoning for a while.”

“Hmm?” Lou Xiaoxiao looked at Lou Qianxue in shock.

Lou Qianxue looked at An Shaoning and said, “Young Master An, come with me! And Sister Xiaoxiao, don’t peek!”

An Shaoning and Lou Xiaoxiao were bewildered. They looked at one another, and Lou Xiaoxiao nodded. “Alright… I’ll lend him to you for a while.”

Lou Xiaoxiao looked on as the two of them walked away. She was baffled. “How strange. What present is it? It’s meant for me, but she left with Shaoning?”
