Chapter 66: The Second Condition

However, it was certainly not the "blush" of shyness as Luo Qingyao claimed, but rather a look of sheer terror!

Therefore, upon hearing Luo Qingyao's words, Yu Xian'er longed to rush forward and tear her to pieces!

Seeing Yu Xian'er's even more fascinating expression, Luo Qingyao smiled all the more brightly. Yet in her heart, she knew very well that if she were ever to encounter Yu Xian'er alone in the future, it would definitely be a battle to the death between them.

She was not afraid, however; after all, the two of them had already torn off their masks and could no longer coexist.

Just for the fact that Yu Xian'er had used the "Lingbo Weibu" to frame her, Luo Qingyao had already decided never to let her off the hook.

Hence, breaking into a radiant smile, Luo Qingyao spoke up, "Now, let me announce the second condition!"

Hearing this, the crowd turned their gazes toward Luo Qingyao one after another, and even Yu Xian'er wore a look of intense nervousness.

Luo Qingyao's smile grew even more cunning. "I was injured by old man Lu earlier and am in urgent need of someone to take care of me. Therefore, if you all want the complete 'Lingbo Weibu', I must ask Fairy Yu to look after me and tend to my injuries. Once I am fully recovered, this condition will be considered fulfilled. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd let out collective sighs of relief. Fortunately, it did not require them to confront Yu Xian'er; after all, the Jade Purity Palace was not to be trifled with. While they desired the "Lingbo Weibu", none of them wanted to provoke the Jade Purity Palace, one of the three great powers in the world.

This condition was simply too easy.

Even Yu Xian'er inwardly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it. But the moment she heard Luo Qingyao's subsequent words, her willow-leaf brows instantly stood on end, and she demanded angrily, "What did you say? You want me to take care of you?"

Luo Qingyao nodded solemnly, deliberately putting on an act of being severely injured, accompanied by a few coughs. "Cough, cough! That's right. I am injured, as everyone has witnessed with their own eyes. Fairy Yu has always prided herself on rescuing those in peril—who in the world does not know this? Therefore, asking the Fairy to save me and incidentally take care of my wounded self shouldn't pose any problem for you, right?"

With that, Luo Qingyao coughed a few more times, deliberately wearing an expression of agony to make her act more convincing.

Yet the more Yu Xian'er looked at Luo Qingyao's appearance, the more she could not suppress her fury. When they were discussing the first condition just moments ago, Luo Qingyao had been completely fine, laughing and chatting merrily. But the second the talk turned to the second condition—requiring Yu Xian'er to wait on her—she suddenly became injured!

Moreover, she looked grievously wounded at that!

How could Yu Xian'er not be driven to the brink of vomiting blood with rage?

You must know, she was yearning for Luo Qingyao to be injured, and ideally to die outright!

Now, however, she was being asked to wait on Luo Qingyao hand and foot; how could she possibly submit to this willingly?

"I—"

Just as Yu Xian'er was about to refuse, a middle-aged man suddenly flew over on a sword, his voice cold and tinged with a hint of detachment. "The Jade Purity Palace has always taken the rescue of those in peril as its bounden duty, earning the reverence of the entire world. As the future Palace Mistress of the Jade Purity Palace, Fairy Yu naturally has the responsibility to help Miss Luo heal her injuries, am I right?"

His words sounded pleasant enough, but anyone with ears could hear the threat underlying them.

In other words, if Yu Xian'er refused to take care of Luo Qingyao today, she would be unfit to assume the role of the next Palace Mistress; even if she somehow did, it would bring lasting shame upon the reputation of the Jade Purity Palace!

The others, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement one after another, and even chimed in to persuade Yu Xian'er. "Fairy Yu, you have always been gentle, generous, kind, and considerate, regarded by all as a true fairy. Please trouble yourself to look after Miss Luo. We believe that with the Fairy's personal care, Miss Luo will recover in no time. By then, it will also be counted as yet another good deed done by your Jade Purity Palace for the world!"
