Chapter 1506 - 1504: Fine, Then I Won’t Kill This Woman
However.
Another voice echoed in her mind.
The content of that voice seemed exceedingly mad even to her.
"Are you really going to give up just like this?! Don’t you want to try to hold onto him?! This is Lan Zhengqing! Lan Zhengqing! The man who rescued you from your dire straits, can you truly bear to give up on him?"
Qiu Xi fell silent.
The relaxed expression suddenly became grave again, her brows furrowed, gazing at Lan Zhengqing with a sense of fixation.
Indeed.
She knew her identity as a refugee, and that Lan Zhengqing would never favor her.
Yet.
She has done so much for Lan Zhengqing, without any merits but enduring hardships, does she not deserve even a glance from Lan Zhengqing?
Previously, she agreed to work for Lan Zhengqing just to survive.
But at some point.
She no longer held such thoughts; it was no longer about survival but merely wanting to stay by Lan Zhengqing’s side, willingly becoming a part of his world.
At some unknown point in time, she became intolerant of any other woman appearing by Lan Zhengqing’s side.
Is being a refugee necessarily the lowest identity?
Do refugees certainly not deserve the attention of the Water Clan’s young master?!
Are refugees doomed to swallow their anger and be manipulated?!
Her mind exploded like fireworks, colorful and dazzling, with countless thoughts erupting in her mind. However, she still didn’t dare to voice these words, didn’t dare to offend Lan Zhengqing.
There remained an insurmountable gulf, an unfathomable divide between her and Lan Zhengqing.
This is the disparity between a refugee and the Water Clan.
Suddenly.
A trace of defiance flashed in Qiu Xi’s eyes, she abruptly raised her lowered head and fixed her gaze on Lan Zhengqing.
Lan Zhengqing’s brows furrowed, instantly enraged!
No refugee had ever deigned to look at him with such a gaze after a slap from him before, was this an act of rebellion?!
Moreover.
For someone like him, a lofty Water Clan’s young master, it’s an urgent disgrace.
It’s practically a tremendous shame!
Merely imagining being fiercely glared at by a refugee felt humiliating.
His eyes immediately turned crimson, his cheeks slightly twitching.
"What do you want to do?"
"Young master, you absolutely wouldn’t let me kill this woman, right?"
"What the hell do you want?!"
Lan Zhengqing didn’t answer Qiu Xi’s question, instead roared furiously, like a bolt of thunder resounding.
Everyone present drew a sharp breath, held their breath, and remained silent.
Most of them were refugees themselves.
They had come here thinking they could live with dignity, only to find that not only could they live with dignity, but also wield a hand blade against those who belittled their clans.
Watching those who once stood tall, sobbing and kneeling at their feet, pleading for a chance to live.
And then witnessing the scene of those people’s blood flowing.
This is revenge!
And it was Lan Zhengqing who gave them the opportunity to live and take revenge, so they held immense respect for Lan Zhengqing.
Regarding Qiu Xi, the Commander of the Ice Cicada Sect, they held immense respect as well.
After all, they had long heard of Qiu Xi’s ways.
And being the earliest to arrive at the Blizzard Village, Qiu Xi was a predecessor to all, naturally earning everyone’s respect.
But they hadn’t expected.
Qiu Xi would actually argue with Lan Zhengqing, even have a confrontation!
Though Qiu Xi didn’t dare to act, Lan Zhengqing still gave Qiu Xi a solid slap.
They immediately became uncertain, not knowing whom to side with.
On one hand, Lan Zhengqing gave them dignity and revenge; on the other, their constant companion, predecessor Qiu Xi.
The crowd glanced left, then right, with hearts laden with conflict.
"What should we do now..."
"Why is the Commander opposing the young master...this isn’t right..."
"Don’t you all understand the Commander’s intent?"
"It’s terrifying, would they really get into a fight."
"The gaze between the two carries murderous intent, if they really fight, it won’t be good for us."
"Perhaps... the Ice Cicada Sect might disperse! And then... where would we go?"
The crowd whispered to each other, discussing fervently.
Qiu Xi’s beautiful eyes held a bloodthirsty murderous intent, gazing at the Divine Phoenix in Lan Zhengqing’s embrace.
"Young master, just answer me, can’t this woman be killed?"
"How many times have I said it, no! Qiu Xi, what’s wrong with you today?! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?! Or are you thinking of rebelling, not wanting to follow my orders anymore?! If you wish to leave the Ice Cicada Sect, you can go immediately!"
Lan Zhengqing was truly annoyed by the constant questioning, momentarily unable to control his temper.
The usually obedient Qiu Xi was behaving like a lunatic today, challenging him.
He couldn’t help but lose his cool.
Damn it, why are they all acting crazy?!
Isn’t today’s mess enough without adding more chaos?!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Lan Zhengqing’s heart roared like thunder, his entire face flushed red.
Facing a storm-like Lan Zhengqing, Qiu Xi remained composed, unhurried, displaying no trace of fear, even a smile tugging at her lips.
"Fine, then I won’t kill this woman." She began to speak, calmly saying.
Lan Zhengqing was all set to erupt into curses, but hearing this, he was suddenly stunned.
He swallowed the curses already at his lips.
"Huh?"
He truly couldn’t fathom this woman, Qiu Xi.
What exactly does she want?!
One moment making a fuss about killing the Divine Phoenix, the next calmly stating she won’t.
Honestly.
He long felt that something was amiss with Qiu Xi.
Especially when she looked at him, her gaze didn’t resemble a subordinate looking at her master, but more like a man gazing at a woman.
He had to admit.
Qiu Xi was beautiful!
Incredibly beautiful!
A beauty that could overthrow cities and kingdoms, an unparalleled beauty, capturing anyone’s heart at first glance. It was for this reason, he first noticed Qiu Xi’s presence.
But... regretfully... Qiu Xi was a refugee... a supremely lowly refugee!
Previously, he even felt a bit heartbroken, feeling it was a pity such a beautiful woman was a refugee.
But now that feeling was gone; Qiu Xi’s efforts made him realize she was a potent weapon, and viewing her as a woman was incorrect!
Yet lately, Qiu Xi’s gaze has grown increasingly peculiar.
Previously respectful and humble, now behaving as though she were his woman, needing to be attached to him in every affair.
This was the most detested thing by Lan Zhengqing.
Restraint!
No one should restrain him; he was born free, killing whom he wished, loving whom he wished, doing as he wished.
He absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to hover above him, pointing fingers at his actions.
That’s why he desired to reign over the Five Elements Realm, ensuring no one dared to object to him.
But Qiu Xi now was doing just that, restraining him!
Wishing to bind him tightly to Qiu Xi’s side!
Earlier, he already gave Qiu Xi the sternest warning, even resorting to violence. He was a Water Clan’s young master, and Qiu Xi was a refugee, identities that would never change, destined from birth!
"Qiu Xi, don’t provoke me. I already warned you before, did you not hear?! Do you truly wish to die?!"
Qiu Xi remained undisturbed and calmly shook her head.
"No, young master, I don’t want to die yet. However, I feel someone is going to die soon."
"What?"
"Do you remember the words you said earlier?"
Lan Zhengqing’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising in his chest.
"What words?"
"Even if you kill all the women in the cellar, you can’t kill her." Qiu Xi sneered, repeating the words Lan Zhengqing said earlier. Then continued. "So, can I kill the women in the cellar?"
