Aunt Chang raised her head and looked up at Shao Qingrou through eyes filled with despair. Finally, she gritted her teeth, and in an almost beseeching tone, she pleaded, "Miss Shao… You and my missy have origins from the same country after all, can"t you see if—"Before Aunt Chang could finish her words, Lu Jiu Que had humbly flung herself onto the ground. She laid right before Li Ronggui, who was already breathing his last breath, and bawled her eyes out.
"Boohoo… Young Master Li… How are you…? Young Master Li, are you alright…?
"Ahhh, you should never meet with another mishap…"
…
Shao Qingrou was, once again, startled by Lu Jiu Que to such an extent that she was dumbfounded. From the time she had met Lu Jiu Que until now, even before when she was pushed off the cliff, stubbornness had been written all over her face. When had she ever been as weak as she was now?
In other words, did Lu Jiu Que truly understand that she had no other way to make it out alive?
Right! Even if the sixth prince was there, he wouldn"t be able to protect Lu Jiu Que!
The blazing wrath of an alchemist wasn"t something a worthless piece of trash could bear.
"Ahhh… Young Master Li… Young Master Li…"
Lu Jiu Que"s hand was patting Li Ronggui"s body repeatedly, seemingly repentant, yet every hit served to destroy Li Ronggui"s acupoints even more.
Poor Li Ronggui. He had already been struggling to hold onto the half of his life that remained. With Lu Jiu Que crying and pus.h.i.+ng him like this, his eyes simply sunk back in his head while he pa.s.sed out and fell into a coma.
Seeing that Li Ronggui had lost consciousness, Shao Qingrou felt relief and joy in her heart. There was no longer any need for pretenses. She laughed loudly at Lu Jiu Que as she gloated and added more insult to the latter"s misfortune. The sinister expression she wore made her beautiful face look contorted.
"Lu Jiu Que! You"re a goner! You"re utterly doomed! You"ve caused Young Master Li grievous harm. Elder Li will never let the matter rest! Not only you, but even your old servant is done for! This time, I"m going to watch exactly how you"ll meet your end! Hahahaha…"
At this point in time, Shao Qingrou had long lost all her bearings in the midst of her elation and satisfaction. Furthermore, Lu Jiu Que had thrown her "weapon" aside. This made her even less afraid of Lu Jiu Que.
She was so carried away that she threw her head back in wild laughter. Her laughter was more piercing than ever. In what way did she still demonstrate any beauty as the so-called flower of the empire?
Lu Jiu Que"s heart was filled with disdain. So what if she didn"t have her iron bar? She was really skilled in wielding silver needles, not something as thick and crude as a metal bar!
Keeping her eyes peeled for the right moment, Lu Jiu Que suddenly made a backhanded move and threw out three stones that accurately hit Shao Qingrou"s acupoints at lightning speed.
The sharp laughter stopped abruptly. Shao Qingrou"s expression also froze at this moment, extremely distorted.
With the exception of her eyes, there was no part of her entire body that she was able to move even an inch.
Lu Jiu Que slowly stood up and lightly patted her clothes. With a calm and unhurried demeanor, where on her face could even a hint of panic, remorse, or tears be found?
She raised a brow and smiled, flas.h.i.+ng her sharp canines. How could this be considered bad? She was just being a cunning little fox.
"Tsk-tsk. Aunt Chang, come and take a look. How does Miss Shao"s expression look? Is it hideous enough? Is it abominable enough? Is it evil enough?"
Aunt Chang"s mind was already trying to make sense of what was happening. She was completely unable to wrap her head around the current situation.
This, this, this… What the h.e.l.l was going on?!
Looking into the expectant eyes of her missy, Aunt Chang could only manage a twitch at the corners of her mouth, and with great difficulty, she nodded and said, "Well… it"s very hideous, very abominable, very evil…"
"Just like a crazy person?"
"Well… Yes…"
"That will do!"
Lu Jiu Que nodded in satisfaction. Humming a little tune, she continued preparations for the rest of her plan. He had left and returned, yet upon seeing her extremely evil and mean-spirited appearance, the Great Demon King"s eyes sparkled!
