Chapter 19: Alchemy UnionTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You…” A dense and sluggish murderous intent immediately engulfed Lou Xiaoxiao. When she looked at Lou Qianxue"s cold and unsympathetic eyes, her heart instantaneously contracted.
At that moment, she was certain that Lou Qianxue really wanted to kill her. The fear of death paralyzed her. It caused her to stay rooted to the ground in terror, unable to speak.
In the next moment!
Whoosh!
Lou Qianxue withdrew the sword, and nonchalantly threw it into the air. The sword returned to its sheath with a bang. She continued walking forward. While she walked, her thoughts were organized.
She coldly said, “Lou Xiaoxiao, you can see that it is not that I am incapable of killing you. However, I don"t want to fulfil the desires of Lou Qianyue and her mother. Hence, I have no intention of being enemies with you. But if you still insist on becoming my enemy, I have nothing to say. We shall fight! However, if you don"t want to be utilized by others, then follow me to look for the Regeneration Antidote.”
When she held the sword, Qianxue turned into a totally different person. She, who was not strong enough to oppose her before, could now kill her in a second.
Lou Xiaoxiao wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. She looked at the girl"s back with lingering fear, and a deep confusion surfaced on her face.
Is this really Lou Qianxue? Wasn"t she previously an unnoticeable, non-existent person who couldn"t even protect her own position? How can she become so powerful? The most terrifying thing is that she is so young, yet has such a strong murderous intent…
What kind of person is she? Why is she so extraordinary?
Doubtful, Lou Xiaoxiao followed behind Lou Qianxue quickly and silently. In the short confrontation which barely lasted for ten minutes, she had already been convinced by the talent and wisdom of this young girl. She wondered if maybe Lou Qianxue could really obtain the Regeneration Antidote.
Located in Qingyun city"s business district, the Alchemy Union was extremely bustling.
Lou Qianxue could be considered to be a famous figure in Qingyun city. She rarely went out, and, even then, would be disguised as a young boy. Her facial features were extremely intricate, tiny, and beautiful. With her refined aura on top of that, she easily attracted people"s attention, causing many pedestrians to throw them quite a few glances.
They reached the Alchemy Union very quickly.
There were a lot of people at the Alchemy Union. Everyone who had queries or wanted to buy elixirs were all queuing.
Lou Qianxue joined the back of the queue without hesitation.
Lou Xiaoxiao followed her in confusion. She could not help but say, “Lou Qianxue, you aren"t here to buy the Regeneration Antidote, right? How much money will that cost? Do you have so much money?”
“It"s only a Regeneration Antidote. Don"t worry.” After entering the Alchemy Union, Lou Qianxue smelled the strong medical scent. That medical scent immediately revived the memories of the ‘Alchemy Union" in her mind. She had already started discerning the elixirs based on their scent.
It was easier than she expected.
—Perhaps, she did not even need to become a disciple…
The queue kept moving. In a short while, only two or three people remained in front of the two girls.
At that moment, a commotion occurred at the back of the crowd.
“Move away, move away! Everyone, move away for my family"s second Young Master!”
At the back, a few teenage boys, all clothed in embroidered robes, cut the queue with smiles on their faces. One of them said, “Brother Su, you are so capable. You can even cut the queue at a place like the Alchemy Union. How impressive!”
“That"s right! My second uncle is one of the rare Second Stage alchemists in Qingyun city. His position in the Alchemy Union is extremely high. Who dares to defy me?” The youth arrogantly smiled.
As he smiled, his lecherous gaze fell onto the pretty lady who was receiving the customers at the front desk. He laughed, pointed at her, and told his scoundrel friends, “Can you see? I can make this pretty little lady lose her job with a single sentence. Look properly. I"ll let her warm up my bed now. If she"s unwilling… Hahaha…”
