Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Really Can’t Reach an Agreement

The blizzard was still going, it had been falling for over a month, extending into the winter break. Many students’ plans to use the holiday as an opportunity to travel had been completely ruined and they could only hope that the storm will end soon.

Despite the strenuous efforts of the relevant authorities, another pile of accumulated snow was cleared off the streets yet they couldn’t stop accidents of vehicles skidding out of control, colliding and causing a traffic jam, which made it impossible for supplies to be transported into the city.

Yes, the cost of food was soaring. Even though Gu Fan had foreseen the situation and stockpiled plenty of it, the quantity rapidly dwindled. He couldn’t help but lament that this couldn’t continue.

So Gu Fan call Lin Xi’s cell phone, and bluntly asked: "Okay, Miss Lin, this blizzard has been falling for over a month, showing no sign of stopping, and our city is the only one suffering this way. Don’t make a fool of me, just tell me what’s really going on."

Lin Xi was slightly embarrassed: "Alright, it seems likely that this is my eldest sister’s doing. She’s probably trying to besiege the city with a blizzard to force me into submission."

"Are you kidding me?" Gu Fan complained, "If you don’t submit, does she expect the blizzard to continue indefinitely? Do we just keep the snow going in June, July, August? If that’s the case, then I’d like to thank your eldest sister in advance for giving us the coolest summer vacation in history."

"I’ll try to reason with her." Lin Xi felt helpless and after finishing her call with Gu Fan, she tried to call Ning Qi. But instead, Qian Feng answered: "What’s up, Qian Ye? Why are you suddenly remembering us? Do you want to surrender or return?"

Lin Xi was a bit irritated: "My eldest sister, stop playing around. Your strategy could work in the old days, but now with advanced technology, the speed of snow removal is much faster than before. We might be a bit behind in transporting food, but we certainly won’t run out. Doing this is pointless."

Qian Feng nodded: "You’re right. Things work differently in this era. My old schemes are outdated. But who cares as long as I’m happy. After the blizzard, I can make it rain heavily, even make lightning and thunder daily. I heard this city is near the sea, I have yet to cause a tsunami."

Hearing these words, Lin Xi tried to quell her emotions and smiled, "Sister, this is a matter between us. There’s no need to drag the whole city into it."

Qian Feng responded bluntly: "You’re mistaken. It’s not you I’m targeting, but the city. I simply want to destroy this city for the sake of my own pleasure, does that satisfy you?"

"Alright, alright, you win. On behalf of the city, I beg for your mercy." Lin Xi was left with no choice but to submit and tried to persuade her: "Look at how much better the world is now. The status of women has greatly improved. My family is ruled by my mother, even my father dares not say a word. Isn’t that what we’ve been fighting for? Destroying the city is equivalent to destroying our goals, isn’t it?"

"You have a point. But one city won’t change the era. Let’s just destroy it, as long as I’m happy." Qian Feng reacted nonchalantly, which almost made Lin Xi stomp her foot in anger. "What exactly do you want, sister? Tell me."

Qian Feng simply said, "My request is simple. If you want to save this city, you should obediently return to Shennv Xuanhui and accept your punishment."

On hearing this, Lin Xi frowned. "You spared me last time, sister, and I thought our disputes were over. But you’re still being relentless."

"What can I do? You made these rules, don’t blame me." Qian Feng smirked, visibly interested. "The reason I spared you last time was because I thought it wasn’t right to force you with violence. You would resist, and that would cause chaos. That’s why I wanted you to come back on your own."

"Don’t push me too far, sister. I know I can never go back to Shennv Xuanhui." Lin Xi was upfront, but Qian Feng didn’t care. "Suit yourself. If you don’t come back, the extreme weather will continue, and everyone will suffer."

After ending the call, Lin Xi looked out at the heavy snowfall and fell introspective. She didn’t know how to break through this, if it meant sacrificing herself to save everyone else. How many people had fallen due to slippery roads, how many injuries there were, or even people stuck in traffic for three days and nights. As the news was reporting these, she watches it helplessly.

She didn’t want to surrender, she didn’t want to give up a life that she had pursued so hard. But she needed to change this situation. She didn’t want to live under the shadow of Qian Feng.

Determined, Lin Xi dialed Qian Feng’s number again: "Alright, sister, I give up. Since I made the rules, I’ll return and accept my punishment. But if you don’t want me to resist, you must promise me two things. First, as soon as I arrive, you must stop the blizzard. Second, I can continue my life after you punish me."

"You’re such a hassle..." Qian Feng responded unwillingly. After a moment, she agreed, "Fine. If you come, I promise to meet your two conditions."

"Deal." Lin Xi ended the call, exhaled a deep sigh, hoping this would put an end to everything.

On the other side, after Qian Feng told Qian Ying about Lin Xi’s demands, she was very dissatisfied: "What? Sister, are you giving the betrayer another chance? Can this even be called a punishment?"

"Of course not. I have my plans. I’m just deceiving Qian Ye a bit. Otherwise, how else would she voluntarily turn herself in?" After Qian Feng finished talking, her lips formed a know-it-all smile.

Ning Qi watched from the side, her face clouding over. She wondered what they were up to.

"Alright. It’s about time, Ning Qi if you want to join us, you need to undergo our ritual." Qian Feng finished speaking and pointed to the enormous bright red flower. Under Qian Feng’s command, the petals slowly unfolded, as if it was about to swallow people.

Ning Qi was a bit frightened. She didn’t want to go inside the flower, but dared not disobey Qian Feng, Qian Xue, and Qian Ying’s will.

Qian Feng began to explain, "Don’t be afraid, Ning Qi. After the ritual, you will have supernatural power and truly become one of us."

It sounded nice, but Ning Qi was still afraid. Who knew what would happen after she went in? Just then, the flower slowly approached under Qian Feng’s control.

"Alright, be a good girl and step in." Qian Ying maliciously pushed Ning Qi from behind.

The bright red flower opened up and swallowed Ning Qi in one gulp, causing Ning Qi to scream in fear. What would happen to her next? Only God knew.
