Lu Fenying let go of Qian’er and covered her with the blanket. “Stop crying. Nothing can be discussed if you keep crying.”
He then tied the belt on his robe and opened the door. “Princess Zi, it’s so late; you’re not sleepy?”
Gu Bailu saw that although his clothes were neat, there were obvious wrinkles. He must’ve been bullying Qian’er earlier.
She looked at the door. “Qian’er, are you alright?”
“Master, I’m fine… Go back to sleep.” Qian’er remembered Lu Fenying’s warning. If she insisted on dragging Princess Zi in to defy him, he would hurt the princess.
She didn’t want her master to get hurt, even though she knew that her master would fight Lu Fenying for her.
She had already done her best for herself. It was her own fate that wasn’t good, so why drag her master into the abyss?
Gu Bailu, however, didn’t want to leave. She could hear that Qian’er’s voice was hoarse from sobbing. She had never heard Qian’er cry like this before.
Qian’er had always been fragile, and from this fragility, a splendid flower blossomed.
“Princess Zi, let’s talk.” Lu Fenying went out, closed the door behind him, and walked off.
Gu Bailu pulled at her cloak.
She had let Lu Fenying stay in Prince Zi’s residence, so she knew that it was impossible for Lu Fenying not to find Qian’er.
However, she didn’t expect him to find her so quickly. This courtyard was already very well-hidden.
Lu Fenying stopped in a pavilion. Looking up at the moon, he said coldly, “Since Princess Zi knows why I’m here, you should know that I went to the Nether King to revive Mo Qian’er.”
Gu Bailu frowned. “I do.”
“I must take Mo Qian’er away,” Lu Fenying said firmly.
Gu Bailu sneered. “This is Prince Zi’s residence, and Southern Glory Empire. If you want to take her away, you have to ask the soldiers in my house if they agree. I dare let you as well as Qian’er stay here; I’m not scared of what you’ll do.”
Lu Fenying turned around and glanced at Gu Bailu. “Let me give you a piece of advice. What you should be thinking about right now is not how to stop me from taking her away, but how to obtain the greatest benefit for her.”
“Do you think I’m scared of you? Aren’t you scared that you won’t be able to go back?”
“I once said that whoever wants to steal Mo Qian’er from me can try.” Lu Fenying was fearless.
Gu Bailu’s lips twitched. “Do you know that Qian’er doesn’t have Dragon Spirit Blood now? She’s just an ordinary woman. She’s useless to you. I’m still willing to trade a city for her.”
Previously, she had been afraid that he would reveal the truth about Qian’er’s Dragon Spirit Blood.
Gu Bailu no longer had such concerns. If news of this got back to Heavenly Wind Empire, she would see how he would face the bombardment by the noble families.
“You better get her blood back, or the baby in her belly will die in half a month. Also, even if she doesn’t have Dragon Spirit Blood, I’ll still want her. Nobody can take her away unless I don’t want her.”
Gu Bailu looked at Lu Fenying in surprise.
Why was he so persistent?
And the baby would die without Dragon Spirit Blood?
“Are you serious?” Gu Bailu asked in confusion.
“I never lie.”
Gu Bailu was dumbfounded…
She had once asked Qian’er what were Lu Fenying’s strong points. After thinking for a long while, Qian’er said that he never lied.
He meant what he said, so when he said that he would take Mo Qian’er away at any cost, he wasn’t lying.
