When the little beast noticed that Lou Qianxue was ignoring it, it pitifully rubbed itself against her.
“Wait, don’t move.”
Lou Qianxue gave a disdainful look to the blood on its claws and body. “Frosted Distance.”
A thin layer of frost appeared on the little beast. The little beast’s eyes became suspicious and it mewled in confusion. However, it did not attack Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue pressed her palm onto the frost layer and used her Essence Martial Power to melt it into water. She then rinsed the blood on the little beast and wiped it clean before hugging it again.
The little beast remained obedient throughout. Suo Yiyi was so shocked at the sight that her mouth fell agape. A beast can’t be judged by its appearance.
“Yiyi, what are you planning to do now?”
“I…” Upon thinking about her current situation, plus the immense sorrow she was in, Suo Yiyi sniffed and said, “I plan to return to Baiyan City first.”
She did not mention why those men were trying to kill her, nor did she say her reason for going to Baiyan City.
Lou Qianxue did not ask further either. She pulled Suo Yiyi up on the dragon horse and said, “What a coincidence! I’m going to Baiyan City too. Let’s go together.”
“Miss Lou… Won’t you ask me why?”
The dragon horse started to gallop forward as Lou Qianxue indifferently replied, “Everyone has her own secret. Didn’t I conceal my name from you too?”
Suo Yiyi bit her lip. As she hugged Lou Qianxue’s slender waist from the back to support herself on the horse, she felt very envious of Lou Qianxue. Lou Qianxue looked as old as her, yet she was so much stronger. In comparison, Suo Yiyi was like useless trash.
Her eyes reddened as she said, “Those men are bad people. They want to capture me and use my blood for evil deeds. By saving me, you have saved the entire Xuantian continent.”
Lou Qianxue paused for a moment but did not take it to heart. After all, how could a small girl like Suo Yiyi determine the safety of the Xuantian continent?
When Suo Yiyi saw that Lou Qianxue kept silent, she sniffed. “Miss Lou, since you have saved me, I will definitely repay you.”
Lou Qianxue gently said, “I did not save you for you to repay me. I did it because I wanted to.”
The little beast on Lou Qianxue’s shoulder mewled twice and started to mischievously play with Suo Yiyi’s hair. Suo Yiyi was terrified, yet she did not dare to resist, for she was afraid she would also be turned into a heap of mashed meat.
Almost an hour later, the dragon horse had reached the city gates of Baiyan City.
“We’re here,” Lou Qianxue said in a soft voice. She jumped off the horse and passed the reins to Suo Yiyi. “I’m returning the dragon horse to you.”
“But—”
Suo Yiyi wanted to say more, but Lou Qianxue stopped her by saying, “I’m quick on my feet, and I can train my speed. You need the horse more than me.”
“Thank you, Miss Lou.” Tears sparkled in Suo Yiyi’s eyes again.
This girl is really made of water. Lou Qianxue held onto her forehead. “It’s a small matter. I have something to do in the city. We’ll go our separate ways here.”
Lou Qianxue had come here to look for her mother and to settle her feud with the Xia Family. She did not want to burden Suo Yiyi.
Suo Yiyi had things that she needed to do too. She knew that it was best for her to leave Lou Qianxue. Nevertheless, she was still a bit reluctant. “Goodbye, Miss Lou! I hope that we can meet again.”
She would never forget Lou Qianxue, a girl similar in age to her who had saved her life.
They parted ways and entered Baiyan City one after the other.
Baiyan City was larger and more prosperous than Qingyun City. However, as a middle-class city, it was much worse than Liuyun Prefecture.
Lou Qianxue knew well what she had to do. She immediately chose a restaurant to seek information.
