Chapter 794: Shameless
"Madman, you’re the total madman!" Xia Ling looked at Xia Qingcheng as if looking at a monster, then said, "I won’t shatter the Shengxue Pearl."
"What on earth do you want to do?" Xia Qingcheng asked.
Xia Ling chuckled, "Since you’re unwilling to bet with me, why should I tell you? In short, the Shengxue Pearl is in my hands now. If you want to snatch it away, I can’t guarantee that I won’t slip."
"But rest assured, I won’t shatter the Shengxue Pearl before I’m determined. I’m not a fool to waste such a great opportunity. I knew keeping your bottle of blood would be useful back then; who knew it would be this useful!" Xia Ling smiled as she gracefully walked past Xia Qingcheng.
Back then, when she asked Xia Qingcheng for his bottle of blood, she indeed had personal motives, but those motives weren’t for herself or for future gains; they were for her father.
Xia Qingcheng’s blood is both a holy medicine for healing cultivators and a great thing for ordinary people to prolong life. Her father had always been in poor health, and she planned to use Xia Qingcheng’s blood to gently nurture his body little by little, to help him live as long as possible. So she used a few tricks, exploiting Xia Qingcheng’s trust in her to obtain this bottle of blood.
Only she hadn’t expected that before she could use it on her father, he passed away.
Nor did she expect that things between her and Xia Qingcheng would reach such a point.
The bottle of blood was thus kept by her.
She indeed had a purpose for returning this time.
The purpose was the Shengxue Pearl.
The reason she waited so long to return is that it was only recently that the injuries she sustained from crossing the Divine Tribulation decades ago had completely healed, and Su Yu’s visit to the Xia Clan also presented her with an excellent opportunity.
If she returned without reason, Xia Qingcheng would certainly be cautious. But borrowing the pretext of returning with his son and granddaughter, Xia Qingcheng’s attention certainly wouldn’t be focused on her.
That’s when she found the chance to arrive at the Ancient Tomb first, and take the Shengxue Pearl while Xia Qingcheng was completely off guard.
If she had been a day late, he would definitely have been wary of her, and the elders of the Elder Council, who aren’t idle, would surely have been suspicious due to her return.
So fortunately, she acted swiftly. But even though she was quick, as soon as she took the Shengxue Pearl, Xia Qingcheng followed right behind.
Indeed...even heaven is helping her.
Xia Ling walked out with swagger, leaving Xia Qingcheng no choice but to follow her.
When they reached outside, Han Jing and the others, including the elders of the Xia Clan, were all waiting outside the Mausoleum.
One of the elders saw Xia Ling and shouted angrily, "Xia Ling, how dare you recklessly trespass into the Mausoleum of the Xia Clan!"
Xia Ling glanced at the elder and smiled, "Oh, isn’t this...let me think, oh right, Elder Yan. Elder Yan, have you forgotten that I am somehow the Clan Leader’s wife of the Xia Clan? Isn’t it a bit too much to put the hat of trespassing on my head?"
"Xia’er!" Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ling Yue’s expression was the first to change.
"You, you are simply shameless!" Elder Yan’s beard bristled with anger. Back then, the clan leader was determined to save her, and they couldn’t stop him. But they never expected that after she was saved, she would run away!
