Strongest Eccentric Consort Chapter 252 – Thank You For The Compliment

Chapter 252: Thank You For The Compliment
“The seal of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire' is still strong. We might need half a month before it loosens and we have to take action!”

Lou Qianxue nodded. “Okay. You can call me when it's time.”

Afterward, the two of them discussed alchemy for a while before Lou Qianxue took her leave.

It was just that…

“Miss Lou.”

She had not even left Baicao Garden when a pleasant voice called her.

Lou Qianxue halted her footsteps. When she turned her head back, she saw a pretty woman walking toward her. The woman then handed her a rectangular decree. “This is Baicao Garden's VIP decree. With this, you can enjoy the best treatment in the Baicao Garden of every city.”

Lou Qianxue received the decree and raised her eyebrow. “Did Gong Sunheng ask you to give this to me?”

The question surprised the woman, and she shook her head in the end. “No. This is from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.”

It seemed like Baicao Garden was not under Gong Sunheng. Lou Qianxue nodded. “I'll accept this. Thank your master on my behalf.”

It was extremely difficult to book a seat in Baicao Garden. Even an important person with status might not be able to enter or exit the place at will or book a seat. Yet, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce directly gave her a VIP decree?

Interesting!

Lou Qianxue kept the decree, left Baicao Garden, and walked on the return path to Qingfeng Hotel.

However…

As she took a step outside Baicao Garden, her expression changed slightly.

Someone's staring at me! And even… stalking me?

Lou Qianxue turned back and looked around, but she did not find anyone. She smiled as she realized the other person was quite skillful.

Unfortunately, that person was up against her, who had come from the modern era and had strong counter-surveillance skills!

She narrowed her eyes and walked into a deserted alley in a familiar manner…

The moment she entered the alley, the other person seemed to have noticed something. He immediately attacked.

A sharp and icy breeze brushed past her back.

Clas.h.!.+

Lou Qianxue blocked the person's attack with her sheath.

Whoos.h.!.+

The other person was concealing his face with a black cloth. Holding a dagger, he stabbed in her direction at an extremely strange angle.

“Humph! You still want to play?” Lou Qianxue scorned and knocked the hilt of her sword down onto the person's wrist.

Her attacker yelled out in pain. He then pulled the black cloth down, revealing a scarlet mask. As he painfully sucked in a breath, he gloomily said, “How did you know it was me?”

Lou Qianxue looked at him as if he were an idiot. “The sect master of the Gate of Seven Kills personally gave an order to protect me. In Liuyun Prefecture, which person from the Gate of Seven Kills would be so foolish as to a.s.sa.s.sinate me?”

The scarlet-masked young man's body stiffened a little. An embarra.s.sed expression flashed in his dewy-eyes. Cough! Cough! “How did you know that I was from the Gate of Seven Kills?”

Lou Qianxue could not be bothered with him. “Change a dagger the next time. Maybe you'll disguise yourself better. Speak, why are you looking for me?”

“I helped you destroy the Prefectural Governor's mansion.”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah? So cold! Can you at least give me some reaction?”

“What kind of reaction do you want? Should I yell, jump, laugh, and thank you while hugging you?”

“You're so boring.”

“Thank you for your compliment.”

Hugging her Frost Sword, Lou Qianxue turned to walk away.

“Hold on!”

“What?”

“Well…”

Lou Qianxue turned her head around and frowned. “As a man, why are you being so squeamish when you speak? I remember that you weren't like this before.”

“Alright! Since you asked me, I'll tell you. My men at Qingyun Mountain found the two juniors from the Lou Family. But we only found sc.r.a.ps from their clothes and… remains of blood and flesh. We are guessing that beasts ate them”!

Lou Qianxue was surprised for a while before she realized that he was talking about the missing Lou Waizhong and Lou Tie.
