In order not to wake Bai Qingqing up, Saint Zachary didn’t move her. He took the necklace apart and only placed one of the crystals on her.
In the beginning, Bai Qingqing still seemed very nonchalant, but gradually, her brows started furrowing up and her expression seemed to be in agony. Her eyes started to move rapidly under her eyelids.
Bai Qingqing felt as if she had sunk into a stretch of scorching flames. That flame was called anger, burning her till all her blood was seething. It felt as if she was going to start emitting smoke.
Her body tensed up unconsciously, and she clenched her small fists.
This soul crystal was pure anger and didn’t have any other emotions. It became uncontrollable. Even the tiniest spark could burn an entire plain, let alone the fact that Chris’s anger was seething, to begin with.
Saint Zachary felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Chris’s emotion was like a sharp sword, piercing into his heart. He didn’t dare to face it.
He immediately removed that soul crystal, and his flurried action seemed to suggest him trying to escape.
Bai Qingqing opened her eyes and mouth, breathing heavily, her chest undulating intensely. When she saw Saint Zachary’s face, she said the word “scram” harshly.
After saying that, Bai Qingqing was stunned. What happened to her? She seemed to be very angry, especially when facing Saint Zachary.
She was worried that she’d anger Saint Zachary and looked at him carefully. She didn’t expect Saint Zachary’s countenance to instantly turn pale, and he stumbled one step back.
After seeing what he was holding, Bai Qingqing instantly understood and said angrily, “You placed Chris’s soul crystal on me?”
Although it was a question, Bai Qingqing already knew the answer.
Saint Zachary placed the anger soul crystal aside, then took out another soul crystal and walked toward her. “Continue.”
Bai Qingqing glared at him furiously. Due to the emotion from earlier, her anger from being forced was amplified many times to the extent that flames spewed out from her eyes.
Saint Zachary didn’t dare to face such a Bai Qingqing, either. This was Chris’s feeling toward him, and it made him feel at a loss.
“Father, Bai Qingqing has to fall asleep before she can sense mother’s soul. Let’s wait until she has fallen asleep.” Seeing that Bai Qingqing was like an angered small wild beast, Mitchell interrupted the stiffness between the two of them for fear that she’d offend his father and suffer.
Saint Zachary placed the other soul crystals aside, only picking one up, then walked over to Bai Qingqing’s side to sit down. He said seriously, “Sleep.”
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes. It’d be strange if she could fall asleep in this situation.
Saint Zachary said coldly, “Otherwise, I’ll go kill the snake beastman.”
Bai Qingqing immediately straightened up.
Saint Zachary continued, “I’ll also skin him and use it to make clothing for Chris… no, for you. I heard that snake leather clothing is very popular with females.”
Please, it’s called snakeskin.
Bai Qingqing was unwillingly threatened. She leaned against Mitchell and closed her eyes.
Anyway, she had made up her mind to not sleep. What can you do to me if I close my eyes and can’t fall asleep?

Bai Qingqing smirked coldly in her heart, starting to let her thoughts wander. Her brain became active, and even if she wanted to sleep, she wouldn’t be able to do that anymore. This condition was commonly known as insomnia.
Bai Qingqing’s method was very effective. She lay down for very long without moving. She was so quiet that both Saint Zachary and Mitchell thought that she had fallen asleep, but she didn’t show any reaction at all.
Saint Zachary picked a crystal and looked at it for a moment, then placed it to one side before picking up another crystal.
This time around, Bai Qingqing vaguely sensed sadness that didn’t belong to her. She felt like crying. This should be grief. However, the feeling was transient. If it wasn’t because she was feeling a little sad, to begin with, and her grief was brought out, she wouldn’t have sensed it.
Bai Qingqing kept her eyes closed nonchalantly, not expressing any other abnormalities.
