Chapter 77: Pavilion Master Xin Yue (1/2)
“I’d like to know how my blood and Alliance Head Li’s blood is different from that of ordinary people. How did it manage to get such a high approval from you, Pavilion Master?” Lou Qingyun probably felt like there was no possibility of escaping, so his tone returned to his old casual style as he smiled ingratiatingly, “This way, I’d be able to brag in hell when the time comes – that I got cut off in my prime because my blood was too high quality.”
“High quality?” Xin Yue laughed a little, “It is high quality blood indeed. I think you’re also curious about this, Li Xueyi?”
Oh she was quite curious, but she didn’t plan to give up resistance here. She was still thinking of ways to escape.
“I indeed wish to know about Pavilion Master Xin Yue’s clever scheme.”
She then heard Xin Yue say, “I wonder if you two still remember that antique lamp?”
Tang Doudou immediately pricked up her ears to listen carefully when the antique lamp was brought up..
“That antique lamp is an object from the distant past, no one alive still knows its secrets and uses after it was passed down so long. A hundred years ago however, someone discovered a secret about it after studying it meticulously…”
That person’s name was Feng Qingge. He was a madman, crazed about analyzing all the strange things of the world. A certain opportunity allowed him to obtain this antique lamp and gather all the passed down myths in ancient texts. Thus, he started the long process of studying the lamp. Fifty years ago, he finally discovered the secret of the antique lamp.
It could be said that it’s a secret which could shake the entire world.
Xin Yue didn’t say what that secret was, but it was probably related to the Black Demonic Nightcrawlers. Why would she bring this up otherwise? As Tang Doudou made her conjectures, Xin Yue continued, “In any case, the antique lamp had an additional usage ever since that time. It had the ability to verify blood quality.”
“There’s one more item that works in a pair with the antique lamp. As long as that type of blood approaches the antique lamp, the other object will go through an unusual change….You guys should understand now, right?”
Understand a feather of what? It’s not easy to link things together when you’re masking everything like this, alright?
“So it’s like this.”
Tang Doudou didn’t understand but Lou Qingyun did. He asked again, “Then how did Pavilion Master know that feeding the Black Demonic Nightcrawler with this sort of blood is better than ordinary blood? It doesn’t seem to be very connected?”
“How many things in the world are connected from the start?” Xin Yue gave a cold hmph as if disdaining Lou Qingyun’s lack of knowledge. She also seemed to have ran out of patience again. After cursing softly, she spoke to Boss Qing, who was outside the hatchway, “Xiao Qing, go guard outside. I will help you take your revenge once I come out of seclusion!”
When revenge was brought up, Boss Qing became visibly happy and cheerfully gave an affirmation. As she pulled down the hatchway to a close, she said, “Then, I shall congratulate Pavilion Master in advance for the success of your remarkable achievement in unifying the Jianghu!”
“Hahaha…” Her words made Xin Yue really happy. The sound of her laughter was exceptionally loud in this spacious area, “No, ben zuo doesn’t just want to unify the Jianghu, ben zuo will unify the country! That so-called Lord of Cloud City will kneel below my foot to beg for mercy!”
Did she freaking go crazy?
Tang Doudou silently remarked before looking towards Lou Qingyun. She never expected that the antique lamp could even be used this way. It was practically even more overpowered than the laboratory tests of the modern era. It sounded pretty much like the stuff of legends.
Looks like both her and Lou Qingyun had fallen into Xin Yue’s trap. They had first gotten Lou Qingyun to accept a bet for the sake of Rutaceae Pavilion’s signboard courtesan, Yun Yan, the bet being on how high a price he could sell the antique lamp for. In reality, this was because the antique lamp would be able to come into contact with more people on the street stall.
Following that, she just happened to run into this antique lamp and linked it with the one she had seen before she transmigrated…
So this was her bad luck for running up to the muzzle of a gun herself. She wasn’t someone that should’ve appeared in Xin Yue’s plan.
When her thoughts reached this point, Tang Doudou stuck up her middle finger towards the Old Heavens. Hell, could he possibly make her luck any worse!?E/C
The reason Xin Yue’s mood was so good was because she didn’t only just find two usable food products, one of them was even Li Xueyi, who she hated so much her teeth itched. So how could she not be happy?
Speaking of Li Xueyi, their relationship in reality wasn’t as deep as she proposed it to be. She had only heard from Xiao Qing that Li Xueyi seemed to be different now. Other than the fact his personality went through a large change, he even forgot quite a lot of things. What was even stranger was that his martial arts seemed to have disappeared.
That was why she tried using some words to test him earlier. As expected, he was as Xiao Qing had described. He wasn’t like the ruthless and untamed Li Xueyi from before, but more so like a little lady. As for whether his martial arts were still present, it was very easy to figure out. When Xiao Qing opened the hatchway earlier, if Li Xueyi’s martial arts were still present, he should have already rushed out rather than staying here to waste so many words.
However, all of this didn’t matter. All she wanted was that attractive fresh blood.
The more she thought about it, the less Xin Yue was able to hold back the excitement in her heart. She was so close to succeeding and breaking away from this damned place. She can finally go out to feel the sunlight again!
The clinking sounds of iron chains transmitted over from the darkness. Tang Doudou gulped, her throat a bit dry. Is Xin Yue really a strange creature? Why would there be the sounds of iron chains otherwise?
Because the hatchway had been closed, this place had once again returned to being dark. Tang Doudou couldn’t exactly tell where Xin Yue was. All she could hear was that sound getting closer and closer.
She didn’t know where Lou Qingyun went off to either. Tang Doudou could only hear her own rapid heartbeat.
Meow ah!E/C2 Could it be she’ll really have to die here today?
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her from the dark, startling her so much that she quivered, thinking it was Xin Yue next to her. She opened her mouth to scream, but that person seemed to have anticipated it and covered her mouth, “Alliance Head Li, don’t panic. It’s me.”
It’s Lou Qingyun?
How come he can move?
