After sending Lou Xiaoxiao away, Lou Qianxue had a comfy shower. She sprawled herself across the bed and fell into a deep slumber.
During her stay in the mountains, she had diligently trained, and she had to stay on guard at all times. It had been a long time since she had a good rest. Now that she had returned, she didn’t need to care about anything. Thus, all she wanted was a good rest so that she would be full of energy for the competition the next day.
In her deep slumber, she even missed her dinner.
She slept all the way until midnight when a loud noise shook her up.
“Huh?” In the darkness, Lou Qianxue opened her eyes and saw a cold light. She instantly entered the Mountain River Space.
Inside from the space, Lou Qianxue saw a black shadow enter her room and lurk around her bed. The shadow could not find her and it murmured to itself in confusion. “Where is she? How did she disappear?”
Ever since she had received the memory of ‘The Alchemy God’, Lou Qianxue could roughly make out one’s skill level. When she discerned that this person’s cultivation was lower than that of Mo Youwei’s nanny, she left the Mountain River Space and asked in a cold voice, “Were you looking for me?”
The other party was shocked and immediately stabbed a dagger forward toward Lou Qianxue’s waist. “Don’t make any noise and follow me.”
Even though she had been threatened by an enemy, Lou Qianxue was not afraid. Instead, she revealed a smirk. “What makes you think that it’s a safe idea to be so close to me?”
“What—”
The other party couldn’t even finish their sentence when Lou Qianxue wiggled and dodged the dagger in a strange manner. Then, she stuck to that person’s body and appeared behind them.
A pair of slim, tender, and pale hands were pressed against the other party’s neck. “Say, who sent you here, and where are you bringing me?”
The other party was horrified and struggled to move. However, the vein that Lou Qianxue was pressing against hurt and made that person’s shirt wet. “Let me go! Otherwise, I will scream.”
Lou Qianxue displayed a reaction of surprise before laughing. “Sure! Scream all you want. Then my grandpa can help me do a background check on you.”
The other party’s expression changed upon hearing that. The realization that this was the territory of the Lou Family in the City Lord Mansion struck her mind.
She felt that she had been careless for a moment and that was why Lou Qianxue had managed to catch her off-guard. She intended to turn around when Lou Qianxue would become careless. For the time being, she decided to be cooperative. “Lady Mo sent me here.”
“Lady Mo…” Lou Qianxue’s eyes glowed a little, and she instantly thought of the deaths of Mo Youwei and his nanny. “I see.”
Lou Qianxue then paused and said, “Seeing that you are so cooperative, I’ll make it easy for you.”
When Lou Qianxue finished her sentence…
Crack.
She twisted the other party’s neck.
In the heavens and on Earth, the big fish eats the small fish. It is a game of the survival of the fittest. Human life is like that of ants, mediocre.
Lou Qianxue was from the special forces in her previous life. Only she knew how many lives she had taken, and so, she did not face any psychological barrier when killing people.
By killing Mo Youwei, Lou Qianxue understood that she had started an endless cycle of hatred with the Mo Family. Harmony couldn’t exist between the two. She could only kill them one by one.
After the other party had lost her breath, Lou Qianxue immediately moved. She stored the corpse in the Mountain River Space. Using the night as cover, she left City Lord Mansion and avoided the patrolling guards. Her legs carried her to Mo House at great speed. When she reached the Mo Family, she threw the corpse at their doorsteps and rushed back to the City Lord Mansion.
When she returned to her room, the night was still young, but Lou Qianxue could not fall asleep.
She returned to the Mountain River Space.
The Mountain River Space had changed from how it used to be when she had discovered it.
Now, In the Mountain River Space, there was a tree that glowed with a green light. It was the sacred tree that she had gotten at Qingyun Mountain.
That day, when the sacred tree had shrunk and traveled to her forehead before disappearing, it had magically appeared inside the Mountain River Space. It also laid its roots in the Mountain River Space of its own will. It looked like the tree wanted to grow here.
