Chapter 439: Chapter 439: A More Powerful One Arrives
Gu Fan did not immediately accept Ning Qi’s terms because they were too harsh, demanding him to do three things for her. He didn’t know what plans Ning Qi had in mind, so he didn’t agree to the terms straight away and decided to think over it more carefully.
Naturally, Ning Qi allowed Gu Fan time to think, but stressed that there was not much time left. If the other two members of Shennv Xuanhui were to wake up, it would put them in a difficult situation.
Gu Fan paid little heed to this. The other two members of Shennv Xuanhui still hadn’t awakened, and they weren’t going to just wake up spontaneously. Besides, Gu Fan daringly bet that Ning Qi wouldn’t dare to wake up the other two so hastily, considering the fear she had to endure from simply dealing with Qian Ying.
An hour later, Ning Qi drove back to her new residence. Upon exiting the car, her face was lined with worry, as if she was lost in thought. She hadn’t expected that under such circumstances, Gu Fan would still remain calm. She wondered if he was genuinely unconcerned about the other two members of Shennv Xuanhui waking up.
In actuality, just as Gu Fan predicted, Ning Qi had no intentions of waking the other two members of Shennv Xuanhui. She had barely managed to escape from Qian Ying, adding two more to the equation would be unthinkable.
Ning Qi contemplated that if Gu Fan refused, she would bury the two sleeping pods or sink them to the bottom of the ocean, ensuring they could never be found.
Just as Ning Qi pulled out her keys and opened the door to her house, she had a peculiar feeling. For some inexplicable reason, many objects in her house started floating, as though there was no gravity, like in outer space.
"Something’s wrong, could it be ..." Ning Qi attempted to turn around and escape, but suddenly, she too lost gravity, and started to float. She felt a surge of fear bubbling up from within.
Ning Qi tried to swim through the air, but to no avail. After struggling for a bit, she realized that her efforts were futile.
A woman wearing Ning Qi’s clothes walked out from within the house. Seeing Ning Qi’s apprehensive expression, she greeted her warmly, "Hello, stranger. Did you bring our sleeping pods here?"
"You are Qian Xue." Having served Qian Ying for so long, Ning Qi was familiar with the names of the other two. Qian Ying had introduced to her who it was that lay within each sleeping pod.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xue looked surprised, then quickly realized, "Did Qian Ying tell you? When I woke up, I noticed one pod was missing, Qian Ying’s pod. I suspect that you accidentally woke Qian Ying up."
Ning Qi nodded hastily, "Yes, I found your sleeping pods at Yuxueyun Mountain, accidentally woke Qian Ying, and then arranged your pods here according to her instructions."
"Really? Qian Ying woke up without waking us up first. She’s gone overboard." Qian Xue looked somewhat dissatisfied, then called out to the inside of the house, "Sister, it appears we need to discipline Qian Ying. She’s been insubordinate, and wants to avoid you, causing trouble wherever she goes."
"What, the most powerful one has also woken up?" Ning Qi felt a chill down her spine. She knew right then that everything was potentially ruined.
A woman emanating a sense of power, with a severe look in her eyes, appeared from the house. She was also wearing Ning Qi’s clothes, her face pale and stern, looking at Ning Qi, and dismissively said, "The attire of you modern people really is pretty. We hope you don’t mind that we borrowed some of your clothes."
"It’s alright, as long as you like them. I can even take you shopping for more!" Acting cooperative, Ning Qi responded. Internally, she could feel Qian Feng’s aura of dominance and had no thoughts of rebellion at all.
Qian Feng snapped her fingers, and Ning Qi immediately found herself on the floor again. The sensation of her feet touching the ground didn’t bring any relief to Ning Qi, on the contrary, it intensified her fear.
"Tell me, where is Qian Ying?" Sitting down, Qian Feng’s gaze was intimidating, as if warning Ning Qi not to lie.
Ning Qi quickly confessed, "Qian Ying wanted to deal with Lin Xi, but ended up being captured by Lin Xi instead. I don’t know where Qian Ying has been imprisoned."
Hearing this, Qian Feng furrowed her brows, "What? Qian Ying was captured? What exactly happened, who is this Lin Xi?"
Ning Qi immediately answered, "Lin Xi is not simple, it’s said that she is the reincarnation of Queen Qianye, so..."
"What, Qianye..." Qian Feng stood up indignantly, her face displeased. Her energy caused the house to tremble gently, making Ning Qi’s heart thump wildly.
Qian Xue quickly stepped in to calm her down, "Sister, please calm down. It seems like fate that Qianye has reincarnated and we have also awakened in this era. It’s time for us to settle the score with Qianye."
Hearing this, Qian Feng shot a cold glance at her, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Although Qianye betrayed us, she is still your second elder sister. You can’t simply call her by her name."
"Yes, sister, I was wrong." Qian Xue quickly lowered her head apologetically, not understanding why her sister was still protecting Qianye, who had betrayed the Shennv Xuanhui.
Subsequently, Qian Feng turned her attention back to Ning Qi, "Tell me everything you know. You’ve been warned. Any hint of deceit or lies, and I’ll show you exactly what the consequences are."
"Yes, I’ll tell you everything I know." Ning Qi then revealed a large amount of information, including how she encountered Lin Xi and Gu Fan at Yuxueyun Mountain, as well as the relationship between the two.
Having heard all this, Qian Feng was lost in thought, "So Qianye has also visited the remnants of the ancient civilization. It seems like it’s fate, but who exactly is this Gu Fan? How can a mere mortal be worthy of being with Qianye?"
Ning Qi began to explain, "Perhaps it’s because Lin Xi is just a normal person in this world, which is why she chose Gu Fan. However, there seems to be something unique about this Gu Fan."
Qian Feng snorted in dissatisfaction at this explanation, "No matter how ordinary Lin Xi appears, she is still Qian Ye. No matter how special Gu Fan may be, he’s still a mortal. Even emperors are not worthy of us from the Shennv Xuanhui, let alone a mere boy."
"Right, Qian Feng, you are correct. I also think that a greenhorn like Gu Fan isn’t worthy of Lin Xi." To preserve her life, Ning Qi could only agree dutifully.
At this moment, Qian Feng glanced at Ning Qi and said casually, "You were the one who awakened us, thus you’ve earned merit. As long as you continue to serve us, you can become one of us. I will allow you to join the Shennv Xuanhui, and you will be our sister. I will teach you many things, but of course, it primarily depends on your performance."
Upon hearing this, happiness washed over Ning Qi and she promptly expressed loyalty to Qian Feng. She thought that if she could become as strong as Lin Xi and Qian Ying, her status would rise, and she wouldn’t have to worry about being bullied
