Journey to the End of the Night

Chapter 1684 - 1010: Qin Lou and Chu Pavilion (Part 2)

Your beauty scheme might actually have some effect, but judging by Fang You’s tone, this kid seems to have come from the Immortal World, and his status might not be lower than Mu Yunye.Thinking about it, becoming a Disciple of Taixuan Sect might just be a way to conceal his true identity.

For someone like him, there’s no shortage of any kind of woman; you don’t need to stupidly rush up and offer your services!

Qin Muqing wiped her tears, lifted her head in shock and said: "That ungrateful brat is really from the heavens?"

Qin Lou saw her hesitant face and said furiously: "Now do you realize how stupid your confessions to him were today?

Xue Fu’s Immortal Essence is extraordinary, and yet you revealed such a critical secret to a stranger whose background is unknown.

Feeling proud of yourself, thinking you’re smart! Do you think just because you’re beautiful you can manipulate all the men in this world?

All men are just foolish lustful creatures, drunk on your beauty, letting you manipulate them, is that it?!

"Mother..."

"Foolish! Utterly foolish!"

Qin Lou sternly scolded: "You still look down on this person and that one all day long! Little did you know that in this respect, Fang Geyu’s mind is far superior to yours!

That Ji Xinnian is indeed well-born, but have you ever seen Fang Geyu curry favor with him?

Foolish! A woman who throws herself at men may make them fall easily, and things may proceed smoothly, but life as one who serves with charm is hard.

Your mother is the best example; when I first came to Shifang City, Fang You did care for me, but treated me merely as a toy like a cat or dog.

If I hadn’t reached my current position, how could his novelty have lasted for over ten years?"

"I thought you would learn to be smarter from me, but who knew you’d regress, not knowing Ji Xinnian’s background or purpose at all!

Instead, you revealed your secret entirely, letting yourself be at someone’s mercy!"

Qin Muqing retorted: "But my daring gamble, wasn’t I learning from you?"

Qin Lou’s face turned pale with anger: "While I was making my gamble, I was certain Fang You was at a dead end; both needed to bet on a chance to be reborn.

What kind of person is Ji Xinnian? A Disciple of Taixuan Nine Classics, an Immortal Lord from the sky, awakened bearer of the Six Divine Talismans! Which of those identities would require a bet with you!"

Qin Muqing said: "Then what to do now, he already knows we have taken Lord Xue’s Immortal Essence, if he tells the City Lord and Fang Geyu, will we be..."

"Will we what?!" Qin Lou’s eyes were sharp, and she sneered: "Who would believe such groundless things?

The year Xue Fu’s mother vanished into the crane, her daughter saw it with her own eyes.

Now the Immortal Essence has merged into your bones and is hard to detect.

As long as you deny it completely, who can do anything to us mother and daughter?

Speaking of the Witch Plague Poison outbreak a few days ago, it left Shifang City in ruins, and Fang You has already been overwhelmed.

I also took this opportunity to grasp most of Shifang City’s authority firmly in my hands.

When I find a suitable chance to expose the Puppet Mecha Army’s threat to the world, Shifang City will undoubtedly face the world’s condemnation.

And the Fang Family, led by Fang Geyu, will be the first to suffer.

We just need to reap the benefits as the old master, and quietly wait for the day of new rule."

Qin Lou’s eyes angled slightly, coldly laughed: "Since Ji Xinnian knows our mother-daughter secret, he cannot be allowed to live.

But due to his special status, it’s difficult to make a move.

Killing him shouldn’t be rushed, better to observe his stance, if we can recruit him without bloodshed, it would be a good thing.

Enemies today, might be allies tomorrow."

Qin Muqing was unimpressed: "Mother, you don’t know this person’s wicked nature; recruiting him won’t be easy without cost."

Qin Lou laughed: "Your nature is too impatient; you must know that everyone in this world has weaknesses that can be attacked.

As long as he desires power and ascension, how can it be hard to shake his heart."

As the two conversed, suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Lord Qin Lou, Li Hui dares to request an audience."

Qin Muqing frowned: "Chief Li, it’s rest time after lunch, why would he come here?"

Qin Lou felt moved inwardly, restrained her expression, and returned to her usual profound and enigmatic demeanor, calmly saying: "Enter."

Chief Li pushed the door open, knelt on one knee: "Greetings to Lord Qin Lou, Fourth Lady Qin."

"What urgent matter brings Chief Li to seek this officer at this time?"

Chief Li with a difficult look, hesitated a long while, finally lowered his head and spoke:

"Lord Qin Lou, during lunch delivery, Young Master Ji asked me to bring you a message."

Qin Muqing couldn’t help but show anger hearing that name:

"Are you his dog? He asks you to deliver a message, you come disturb my mother without regard for occasion, isn’t that too uncivil?"

Chief Li, reprimanded, did not retort, just lowered his head even more.

Qin Lou stopped her daughter’s rude behavior with her gaze, calmly sipped tea and said:

"Chief Li is an old hand at Wanggui Building, no need for formality here, speak standing.

But what urgent words does Young Master Ji have, that need to trouble Chief Li personally?"

"...Young Master Ji only asked me to bring one phrase. Chu Pavilion’s thin horse always clings."

Bang!!!!

Qin Lou’s hot tea spilled upon the ground.

She suddenly lifted her blood-red brows, emitting fierce murderous intent, terrifying beyond words.
