Chapter 1504: Chapter 1502: Consumed by the Flames of Jealousy!

There was more than just Qiu Xi in the room.

There were also a dozen or so people from the Ice Cicada Sect. Upon hearing Lan Zhengqing’s voice, they were all very pleased and were preparing to greet him respectfully.

But when they turned around,

they felt a different atmosphere; the air was heavy, laced with hidden killing intent.

Upon closer inspection, they saw a stunningly beautiful woman in Lan Zhengqing’s arms.

The woman’s beauty was on par with Qiu Xi’s.

Everyone held their breath, frozen in place as if they had been struck by lightning, staring at Qiu Xi with shock and bewilderment, their faces ashen.

Everyone knew that Qiu Xi had feelings for Lan Zhengqing.

Moreover,

Qiu Xi wanted to be with Lan Zhengqing, to become his woman in the true sense, to appear openly by his side in Wenyu City, accepting the adoration of millions!

Rather than wasting away in this cold, lonely, frozen village, like a drifting asteroid, alone and unanchored for a lifetime.

She had been wanting to be Lan Zhengqing’s woman for a long time.

That was why she was so dedicated, so ruthless, so fierce! Because she wanted to prove her worth to Lan Zhengqing, to show that she was the perfect choice for him!

However,

Lan Zhengqing seemed to be avoiding the matter, even provoking her.

Time and again,

bringing other women back from outside, throwing them into that dark, damp, gloomy, cold cellar!

He’d rather find women outside than spare her a glance!

How could Qiu Xi not be angry!

After all her efforts, were they all in vain?!

Did Lan Zhengqing truly not understand?!

Or did he simply not care about her?

The women he brought back before were one thing. Their beauty was only half of Qiu Xi’s, and Lan Zhengqing, as if having some collecting obsession, would bring them back, some not even touched, just thrown right into the cellar.

So,

Qiu Xi believed she still had a chance to win Lan Zhengqing’s heart.

But,

the woman Lan Zhengqing brought back this time was too beautiful!

Even Qiu Xi herself was incredibly stunned, captivated for a moment.

She couldn’t deny it.

That’s why she erupted in overwhelming killing intent, bursting into a rage.

If she didn’t protect her position, it was very likely this woman would take it from her.

Qiu Xi told herself she had to kill this woman.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lan Zhengqing furrowed his brow slightly, staring at Qiu Xi as he spoke.

"Young Master Lan, who is this woman?" Qiu Xi, her eyes like water, also glanced at Lan Zhengqing for a second before shifting her gaze to Divine Phoenix, asking jealously.

"This is none of your business. Things you shouldn’t know, don’t know, understand?" Lan Zhengqing said coldly, feeling a bit displeased.

"Young Master Lan, I’m concerned about you. These strange women approaching you must have some plot, wanting to use your status to soar. They don’t have good intentions, so to protect your safety, I must kill her."

As soon as she finished speaking.

A sharp spike suddenly appeared from Qiu Xi’s sleeve!

It was Qiu Xi’s weapon.

Immortal Slaying Needle!

This weapon was like a larger, thicker silver needle, sharp on both ends, held in the middle, capable of killing foes on both ends.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Slaying Needle slid out of Qiu Xi’s sleeve, silent and stealthy.

Immediately!

Qiu Xi suddenly raised her head, stabbing the spike toward Divine Phoenix’s forehead!

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

The speed was incredible, creating a sound of breaking through the air.

Void shuddered violently, as if pierced by the spike, condensing together, even visibly solidifying.

A cold glint flickered at the corner of Lan Zhengqing’s eye.

In a fraction of a second!

He swiftly retreated, narrowly avoiding the Immortal Slaying Needle’s attack.

The spike grazed Divine Phoenix’s forehead, ultimately leaving a bloody mark, severing a few strands of hair.

Qiu Xi was shocked; she hadn’t expected Lan Zhengqing to save this woman’s life!

This made her even more jealous!

Her eyes erupted with fierce jealousy, glaring ferociously at Divine Phoenix, as if maddened, oblivious to everything as she charged at Divine Phoenix again.

Despite missing the first strike.

Qiu Xi quickly reacted, leaping up!

Her body soared high, simultaneously raising her right hand, the Immortal Slaying Needle slicing through the air like a meteor, glinting with a piercing cold light.

But this time.

Lan Zhengqing didn’t dodge because he had Qiu Xi’s every move in his eyes.

So there was no need to evade!

He faintly smiled, lightly sneering as he calmly raised a leg.

Just right!

As if Qiu Xi’s hand deliberately struck Lan Zhengqing’s toes.

"Ah—"

Qiu Xi screamed miserably, the Immortal Slaying Needle clanging as it fell to the ground.

Just by a mere touch from Lan Zhengqing’s toes, Qiu Xi instantly lost her ability to resist.

But everyone knew, Lan Zhengqing had already been merciful!

It seemed as though Qiu Xi had voluntarily hit him, but in reality, Lan Zhengqing had calculated the timing long in advance to act at that moment.

Creating such an illusion.

Terror.

Terrifying to the core!

The people of the Ice Cicada Sect gasped, holding their breath, not daring to speak loudly.

Qiu Xi’s pale wrist was swollen red, hurting so much that she couldn’t even grip her fingers, dangling limply by her side.

She panted heavily, defiantly glaring at Divine Phoenix with a face full of hatred.

Even though the Immortal Slaying Needle had fallen, she still wanted to kill Divine Phoenix!

"Qiu Xi!" Lan Zhengqing shouted angrily, his gaze filled with killing intent. "Stop, what do you think you’re doing?"

Qiu Xi suddenly halted.

She knew Lan Zhengqing was truly angered, and if she acted again, she would defy the young master’s will, and it would cost lives!

The best chance to kill this woman was gone.

Qiu Xi stomped her foot angrily, her face flushed red with her lips pursed, consumed by fury.

"Young Master Lan, where did you bring back this woman from? Her looks, her demeanor, it’s truly irritating, the more I look the more annoying she becomes!" Qiu Xi said indignantly in a coquettish tone, puffing her cheeks.

Lan Zhengqing smiled slightly, "Not seen for a while, your temper has grown."

"You dare say that, how long has it been since you came to Blizzard Village, or visited the Ice Cicada Sect? We’re almost rusting away here! If you don’t attack soon and assign us tasks, we might even forget how to fight!"

"Qiu Xi, don’t be willful. The time hasn’t come yet, when it does, the Ice Cicada Sect will be notified. Besides, I’ve been quite busy these days, not always free, so I haven’t been able to visit you, that’s my oversight."

Everyone was shocked, quickly lowering their heads, not daring to accept Lan Zhengqing’s apology.

Qiu Xi pouted, displaying a mischievous demeanor, suddenly losing all semblance of killing intent as she looked at Lan Zhengqing, appearing innocently dazzling.

"Young Master Lan, I really find this woman disagreeable, can I kill her?"

"I have a feeling this woman will bring disaster. If we resolve it now, we might avert catastrophe; if we keep her, things could go awry."

Lan Zhengqing chuckled coldly.

"Stop pretending to be mysterious, don’t I know your intentions?"

"I can clearly tell you, you cannot kill this woman."

"Even if you killed all the women in the cellar, you couldn’t kill her."

Qiu Xi, overwhelmed with jealousy, widened her eyes and shouted discontentedly: "Why?!"

Lan Zhengqing remained expressionless, coldly saying: "Because she is my woman now."
