Chapter 2490 — It's Me!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
What Yang Qiqi did not know was that every word of her conversation had reached Wei Zhao's ears without a single omission—and Wei Zhao's mood had grown somewhat complicated as well!
Yang Qiqi was doing this to save someone? She was trading the blue crystal for the blood of that earth-attribute heaven-rank spirit beast in order to save a life?
Come to think of it, that made sense. Yang Qiqi was a rather conservative person—last time, merely because he had seen her body, she had wanted to run him through with a knife. Yet now she was throwing herself at him of her own accord, seducing him. If she were not driven by some desperate necessity, she surely would not do such a thing!
If Yang Qiqi had merely coveted the blood of that earth-attribute heaven-rank spirit beast for some other purpose, Wei Zhao would never have helped her. Getting the blue crystal back would have been only natural. But Yang Qiqi was doing this to save a life, and so Wei Zhao's thinking changed.
Saving a life—that feeling of being driven to desperation, of clenching one's teeth and pressing on regardless—Wei Zhao knew it well. Had it not been so for him back in the Ice Palace? To cure Feng Xiaoxiao, no matter how bitter or exhausting it was, even at the risk of his life, Wei Zhao had gritted his teeth and endured.
And Yang Qiqi now was probably in just such a state of mind. Otherwise, she would never have gritted her teeth and endured his groping.
At this thought, Wei Zhao actually felt a little sorry for Yang Qiqi. This cool-tempered girl was not so bad at heart after all—at least, she was stealing the blue crystal back to save a life. That reason Wei Zhao could understand, and could accept...
Forget it. He would find a chance to let her steal it back. After all, the heaven-rank cultivator who possessed the blood of the earth-attribute heaven-rank spirit beast wanted something from a water-attribute heaven-rank spirit beast, and Wei Zhao happened to have just such a vial on him. Once Yang Qiqi returned the blue crystal to him, Wei Zhao would simply use what that cultivator needed to trade the blue crystal back.
After Yang Qiqi returned, she said little and ate quietly. What surprised her somewhat was that Wei Zhao's roving, lecherous hands seemed to have settled down, no longer groping at her—which let her eat her dinner in peace.
After the meal, Wei Zhao, Yang Qiqi, Han Xiaohu, and Yu Xiaoke went together to the service desk in the lobby, booked four adjoining rooms, and then headed upstairs together.
Yang Qiqi did not know what relationship existed between Wei Zhao and Yu Xiaoke, but seeing the two of them talk, she guessed they probably knew each other. Still, she had no intention of speaking to Yu Xiaoke—her only goal was to get the blue crystal back. As for who Wei Zhao knew, that had little to do with her.
Upstairs, the four of them went to their respective rooms. Once Wei Zhao was back in his, he casually tossed his backpack onto the sofa—which was also to create an opportunity for Yang Qiqi to steal it! Of course, at this moment the backpack contained nothing at all except a single blue crystal.
