Chapter 169: Zhao Qing"er
"I can give you anything you want in exchange for a single drop of dragon"s blood!" The young lady did not give up. She again asked and this time, she did not want the drop of dragon"s blood for free.
Ye Xiao again looked at her and still shook his head. He again refused her.
After storing the dragon"s blood in his spatial ring, his gaze fell down on a piece of paper that looked almost transparent. But what caught Ye Xiao"s attention was that there was a lotus pattern carved on this piece of paper.
Ye Xiao immediately stored the piece of paper in his spatial ring. He does not want to let anyone see that piece of paper.
Even though he does not know what that piece of paper was, but still, he felt that there was something extraordinary about the piece of paper after all it was sealed along with the true dragon"s blood.
After Ye Xiao took away the piece of paper, he noticed that the lotus pattern that was carved on the top surface of the ice cube which was already turned into many pieces now suddenly disappeared.
Ye Xiao guessed that the lotus pattern might be related to the piece of transparent paper in some way.
When Ye Xiao stored the dragon"s blood and the piece of transparent paper, the pressure immediately vanished without any trace.
When Ye Xiao looked in his surrounding, he saw many different types of gazes looking at him. He noticed that those gazes were filled with greed and there were also two gazes that were filled with both greed and hatred.
These two gazes were directed at him by Hao Yue and Yun Xianer.
Ye Xiao then turned and looked at the young lady who asked for a drop of dragon"s blood. There was no trace of greed or hatred in her eyes. There was only disappointment in her eyes.
If not for his master, Ye Xiao would have given her a drop of dragon"s blood.
"Can we talk?" The young lady clenched her hands into a fist and after struggling with her thought she finally asked Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao kept silent for a few breaths of time and lastly nodded his head.
He agreed to give her some time because he didn"t felt any greed from her eyes. They both walked out of the Imperial garden and walked toward a tall and exquisite-looking building.
Maybe it was because of the young lady, but no one dared to follow them out.
"Ice and Fire Restaurant!"
Ye Xiao looked at the name of the restaurant and was surprised to see such a name.
"Ice and Fire restaurant is a famous restaurant of my Grand Xia Empire. It is mainly famous for its Red-Blue Wine which can let you feel the burn of a flame and the coldness of ice." The young lady said in low voice.
"Oh!" Ye Xiao"s interest was immediately piqued when he heard about the wine.
They both entered the Ice and Fire Restaurant and a beautiful young lady welcomed them.
"Welcome to the Ice and Fire Restaurant, dear guests!" The beautiful young lady said with a smile. She was one of the attendants here.
The young lady beside Ye Xiao took out a black card and showed it to the lady that welcomed them.
"Eh! Please come with me to our VIP room." The beautiful young lady immediately reacted when she saw the black card. She hurriedly led the young lady and Ye Xiao to the VIP room of the Ice and Fire Restaurant.
Ye Xiao guessed that maybe, the young lady belongs to a very big and powerful family like the Hao and Yun Family.
After they both sat down, the young lady ordered some dishes and the Red-Blue Wine for Ye Xiao and herself.
After the attendant left after taking the order, the young lady said, "I am Zhao Qing"er. May I know your name?"
"Ye Xiao!" Ye Xiao told her his name. He was surprised to find out the name of the young lady. Her surname was the same as Zhao Yufei. But Ye Xiao did not connect them as Zhao Yufei was from the Azure Dragon Country"s Heaven Sword Sect while Zhao Qing"er belongs to the Grand Xia Empire.
There was much difference between the two of them.
Zhao Qing"er nodded her head and at this time, the dishes were also served.
Zhao Qing"er took off her veil and what appeared in front of Ye Xiao was a very beautiful face of a young lady who was about the same age as him.
Ye Xiao also felt many similarities between her and Zhao Yufei. He did not understand the reason but still, he felt that it was impossible for the two of them to be related.
They both started eating. The way Zhao Qing"er eat was very enchanting. Ye Xiao felt that he will lose control of himself. But he still calmed himself down and started eating.
Zhao Qing"er was looking at Ye Xiao the entire time secretly to observe his reaction and after seeing his reaction, she secretly nodded her head.
"I am in need of a drop of dragon"s blood and coincidentally, you cut open the ice cube and obtain the dragon"s blood." Zhao Qing"er looked at Ye Xiao and said after a while.
Ye Xiao did not answer her. He only nodded his head and continue to eat.
"I want a drop of dragon"s blood. Can you please give it to me? There was a total of seven drops of the dragon"s blood, even if you give me one drop of it, you will not lose out!"
Seeing that Ye Xiao did not answer her, she again asked for one drop of the dragon"s blood.
"Why do you need a drop of dragon"s blood!" Ye Xiao still did not give her any answer. He asked the question he wanted to ask because he did not understand why she will need the dragon"s blood drop.
"That... I can not say, I am sorry!" Zhao Qing"er shook her head and refused to say the reason why she needed the dragon"s blood.
