Chapter 429: Explaining

Li Qiye calmly sat at the bow of the boat and smiled at Qiurong Wanxue, who sat down beside him. In terms of beauty and allure, Qiurong Wanxue was far from Chen Baojiao’s level. However, Chen Baojiao didn’t have the mature charm nor the dignified elegance of Qiurong Wanxue.

Chen Baojiao was a calamitous and kingdom-toppling beauty, a supreme enchantress that took away the souls of others with a single glance.

Qiurong Wanxue was also movingly beautiful, especially her mature charm no different from a ripe peach that causes hearts to beat faster; people will love her more and more the more they’re exposed to her.

“Does Chief Qiurong have something to say?” Li Qiye looked at her amorous features and calmly asked.

Qiurong Wanxue’s heart was filled with emotions as she looked at this man who, despite being so much younger than her, seemed so mystical. Li Qiye was very ordinary when it came to his face and aura.

However, as one interacted with him more, they would find him to be full of mysteries. He would make others feel like they were being sucked in as if he was an inescapable black hole.

“What is Young Noble Li’s goal for coming to Necropolis this time?” Qiurong Wanxue pondered for a moment before asking the question that had been haunting her.

Qiurong Wanxue hoped to have a real talk with Li Qiye if they were to continue to stay together at Necropolis since they knew nothing about him!

Li Qiye didn’t answer her question but asked one instead: “What is Chief Qiurong’s goal at Necropolis?”

She stared at him while he met her gaze, right into her clear and bright eyes. They gazed at each other for a bit, and Qiurong Wanxue was the first to turn away.

She then took a deep breath and thought for a bit before resolutely saying: “If we are on the same side, then we need to work together. If you wish to know, then I’ll tell you. This time, I came to Necropolis to find something that my tribe had lost.” Since she wanted a sincere conversation with Li Qiye, she revealed the truth after contemplating for a bit.

“So that is the case.” Li Qiye smiled and replied. He understood her concerns, so he went on to say: “I don’t mind telling you; I came this time in order to find a certain something.”

“What are you searching for?” Qiurong Wanxue inquired further.

Li Qiye didn’t answer. He stared at her amorous snow-white face and asked: “Chief Qiurong, what item did your tribe lose?”

Qiurong Wanxue became silent. This matter was of grave importance to the tribe, so she couldn’t carelessly tell an outsider.

Li Qiye smirked at the sight of her careful contemplation. He then asked: “We won’t talk about this issue anymore, we can talk about the sudden eclipse instead. On that day, did you see anything strange?”

Li Qiye found out a lot of things from Peng Zhuang, but he was now asking Qiurong Wanxue to confirm it. The reason was very simple; whenever Peng Zhuang talked about the gigantic hand from the Prime Ominous Grave, Qiurong Wanxue would yell at him to stop. This made Li Qiye believe that she knew a thing or two about it.

Qiurong Wanxue turned around to look at the young group of six. They were sitting at the other end with their backs turned towards Li Qiye and didn’t seem to be paying attention to them.

“So Young Noble Li came because of this matter?” Qiurong Wanxue had speculated this possibility early on since Li Qiye had shown interest in this matter from the very start.

Li Qiye did not hide anything and smiled: “You can put it that way. I trust that you know a thing or two, so can you tell me?”

Qiurong Wanxue pondered for a bit while looking at Li Qiye who was calmly waiting for an answer. She then took a deep breath and nodded her head in agreement.

Right afterward, she recalled: “The monstrous hand that Peng Zhuang talked about… It was indeed there. On the day of the eclipse, I was absorbing worldly energy while looking towards the Prime Ominous Grave.” She paused here for a moment.

“And then?” Li Qiye was not too anxious since he was quite sure about what had happened.

Qiurong Wanxue took a calming breath and eventually continued on: “Right when the sky was no longer dark, I saw… the Prime Ominous Grave open.”
