CHAPTER 973: CHAPTER 953: UNDERGROUND PALACE (PART 4)

When Luo Qianqian slowly awoke, she saw a woman sitting seriously in front of her, pulling up a chair and looking down at her. She was startled and stepped back two steps.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to follow you," the woman said.

"Follow me for what? I, I’m just a kid, I can’t even take care of myself, don’t have a job and no money..." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a pile of gold, silver, jade ware, antiques, and paintings appear before her.

Her cheeks twitched instantly.

"But I’m still going to school, and aren’t you trapped here?" Luo Qianqian had just finished speaking when she saw the woman, with a calm expression, collect the pile of items on the floor and casually take out a dagger to play with in her hand.

"This blade sees no mercy," the woman said.

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched uncontrollably—is this a threat? Seems like it? Seems like it?

"But you can’t get out either..." Luo Qianqian legitimately explained, "We can leave when it’s time, can’t you?"

"Has that broken thing been refined?" Unexpectedly, the woman asked with a calm face.

Luo Qianqian nodded in confusion.

"Then that makes things simple..." Saying that, the woman casually used the dagger in her hand to cut her own finger, pressed it onto Luo Qianqian’s forehead, closed her eyes, floated in the air with a pious look, but shortly after, turned strange: "Repulsed? Suppressed? Do you have Divine Beasts around you?"

Luo Qianqian stared blankly, completely puzzled.

Looking at the Blood Bead sliding down her forehead, still carrying some heat.

She awkwardly looked at the woman, feeling the Blood Bead almost reaching her chin, but didn’t dare speak.

"Find something to store it, my blood can be considered a rare thing." The woman frowned as she looked at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian quickly found a White Jade Bottle to store it, but her face was full of confusion.

Blood can be rare? After all, people often donate blood, it’s still good for health, maybe they shouldn’t donate blood anymore, just let it out and store it in bottles...

Human blood sausage? Luo Qianqian inexplicably felt a little sick...

Pig blood is fine, suddenly feeling like she can’t face duck blood vermicelli soup anymore...

But she still didn’t ask, her eyes fixed straight on her toes.

The woman hesitated for a long time, still clueless, as the Divine Bow clearly repelled her existence, and Luo Qianqian was enveloped in other auras that prevented her from recognizing a master. This...

At this moment, a burst of light flashed, and Tang Tianyi appeared in the hall.

Luo Qianqian was stunned, immediately ran over and pounced, looking excited: "Why did you just come now? Boohoo, I almost thought you were lost..."

Tang Tianyi gently touched Luo Qianqian’s head, his face full of tenderness, but his eyes fell on the woman, slightly frowning, "Who is this person?" His eyes were full of defensive expression.

"She’s the owner here," Luo Qianqian pouted and really wanted to complain, but considering their situation, she explained softly.

The woman listened to Luo Qianqian’s words without any sign of surprise, her face scrutinized Tang Tianyi: "How did you get here?"

His hand didn’t have any Divine Artifact, and the location he landed wasn’t the previous location Luo Qianqian landed.

Luo Qianqian landed at a spot with a teleportation formation.

So the woman looked at Tang Tianyi with a guarded expression.

Luo Qianqian also looked at him in confusion.

Tang Tianyi calmly shrugged: "Drew a formation and followed over."

"Formation?" The woman was startled and then frowned.

But Luo Qianqian wisely did not pursue the question, any questions could be discussed outside, after all, staying here was not safe.

"Are you hurt?" Tang Tianyi pulled Luo Qianqian up, looking her over, full of concern.

Luo Qianqian’s face changed, her hand subconsciously touched her neck, but there wasn’t the pain she expected.

"Did your neck get hurt?" Tang Tianyi’s face changed, carefully looking at her neck, gently touched, but there was no abnormal feeling.

Luo Qianqian’s face turned a bit awkward, with the woman here, she really couldn’t explain.

The woman looked calm: "I injured her, why, want to avenge her?"

Tang Tianyi’s face darkened, suddenly several stones appeared in his hand.

Luo Qianqian felt something was wrong, hurriedly grabbed Tang Tianyi’s arm to quickly explain: "At that time, she thought I was an intruder, wanted to kill her, so she acted, then the misunderstanding was cleared and it was nothing anymore, see, doesn’t it look like nothing happened? It’s because she helped."

Her face still carried a bit of the awkwardness of lying.

Tang Tianyi looked at Luo Qianqian, puzzled, obviously this was a defense for the woman.

The woman was also surprised, raising her eyebrows unexpectedly that Luo Qianqian would speak for her.

Luo Qianqian didn’t want to, but the woman’s aura, how could two people compete with her, in the woman’s hands, she had no room to act.

Thinking of this, she sighed slightly, still lacking ability...

"Right, you can come, can you take... us away?" Luo Qianqian suddenly looked at Tang Tianyi excitedly.

Tang Tianyi was observing the surroundings, hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, his face full of calmness, nodded: "Shouldn’t be a problem."

The woman looked skeptical but said nothing.

Tang Tianyi looked around, slightly frowning: "Judging by the surroundings, it looks like the castle we’ve seen before?"

The glittering magnificence, but inside was emptiness they never expected.

There wasn’t the Divine Artifact they imagined, nor the elixirs scattered everywhere.

"The things you want, I have, as long as you take me out first." The woman calmly responded.

Luo Qianqian was rejecting from the bottom of her heart, the woman was too destructive... just in case...

They would really be unreasonably wronged.

"Seems like you’re really afraid of her?" How could Luo Qianqian’s little mood be hidden from Tang Tianyi?

He slightly frowned at the woman: "We don’t trust you." Bluntly, without any easing.

The woman’s mouth twitched, is this the attitude when speaking to her???

She carefully observed Tang Tianyi, also slightly frowning, but still raised her hand and swore a Heavenly Oath: "I, Feng Xi, hereby swear by the Heavenly Dao, will never harm Luo Qianqian or anyone around her. If I violate this oath, I shall never attain the Dao!" Tang Tianyi and Luo Qianqian watched a red symbol fall onto the woman’s forehead, both surprised.

"Heavenly Oath, satisfied?" The woman looked unconcerned.

Luo Qianqian also felt as if something was pulling her.

But it vanished shortly and she would not forget that majestic and grand feeling.

Tang Tianyi looked at Luo Qianqian, as if Luo Qianqian said to take her, he would then take her away.

Luo Qianqian just chuckled: "No rush yet."
