Chapter 216 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 32 (1/2)

Shi Sheng was naturally unaware of what happened to Qin Langyue—she had enough trouble on her plate at the moment.

Ever since people knew she had returned to Four-Square City, and because nobody was willing to just give up on the Rainbow Lotus, Shi Sheng had to deal with wave after wave of people asking for death—since there was no way the city gates could just be shut forever.

“For you.” The box containing the Rainbow Lotus was handed over to her by Bu Jingyun, who was wearing red again.

“What do you mean ‘for me’?” ‘I don’t need this Mary Sue…’

“I’m giving it to you, so just take it!”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘I(BBB) gave you this, okay? Why are you giving it back?’

Bu Jingyun humphed before just placing the box beside Shi Sheng then turned to leave.

Her lips twitched in response. ‘This fellow’s getting more and more tsun… Why didn’t I just let those eagles claw him to death that day?’

Shi Sheng looked at the Rainbow Lotus before her eyes curved in contemplation, her lips revealing a strange smile. ‘Didn’t you guys want this Rainbow Lotus? Fine! I’ll(bbb) give it to you!’

……

Four-Square City was very busy as of late. Their queer City Lord was playing a new game; she’d invited all the major powers of the Nine Provinces over.

‘Putting aside the matter of whether or not they’ll actually come, wouldn’t they try to get back at us for locking them out of Four-Square City the last time?

Don’t know what City Lord is thinking…’

Not just these normal people, even Bu Jingyun didn’t really know what she was thinking. ‘Why’d she stir up those people for no reason?’

And then Bu Jingyun laid his eyes on a copy of the invitations she sent out.

Other than the name of the invited person, there was only one row of words:

Want the Rainbow Lotus? Come to Four-Square City.

Now he really didn’t know what was going on in that head of hers.

The recipients had no clue either, but the temptation of the Rainbow Lotus was too great; even if it was a trap, they were perfectly willing to jump into it—risk and reward came in equal proportions. They knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

A few months later, Four-Square City turned lively once more.

The streets were crammed with people, and such crowded conditions gave rise to many fights.

Qin Langyue was only one among many who entered the city, with Zhong Shiyi by her side. A black robe completely covered her bloated body and underneath the black veil she wore, her expression was utterly marred by cruel, vicious hatred.

“Don’t worry. As long as we obtain the Rainbow Lotus, you’ll be able to recover.” Zhong Shiyi patted Qin Langyue as he spoke words of comfort.

“Thank you, teacher.” Qin Langyue answered in a low voice.

Zhong Shiyi sighed. His most treasured disciple had actually been forced to this point by others.

Qin Langyue’s features twisted even more when her gaze landed on the slight bump on her belly.

Had Zhong Shiyi not told her she couldn’t abort it, she wouldn’t have thought twice about doing so.

She didn’t know if the abomination in her stomach was the Snake King’s or the Wolf King’s, but no matter which, it was a subject of humiliation. And was it not because of this disgrace that she was in her current state? How could she not hate it?

‘Fortunately I still have a chance to turn this around. As long as I get the Rainbow Lotus, I can regain my youthful looks.’

“City Lord’s coming over…” The crowd stirred. Someone pushed Qin Langyue to the side. She would have nearly fallen to the ground if it were not for Zhong Shiyi, who supported her.

The crowd suddenly parted for two:a purple-robed woman anda man clad in red. They made for a lovely couple as they walked in from the city gates.

Upon laying her eyes on Shi Sheng, thick killing intent emanated from Qin Langyue. Fortunately for her, quite a few people wanted to kill Shi Sheng right now as well,thus, hers went unnoticed among all thekilling intent also projected in the air.

Zhong Shiyi pulled Qin Langyue and shook his head at her, wordlessly telling her not to be reckless.

Qin Langyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. ‘Shen Yaoguang, I guess I’ll let you live a little longer.’
