Chapter 134 Dark Elf 3
Chapter 134 Dark Elf 3
Chloe left a few people behind without saying whether she would help, and arranged for them to stay in a huge room that looked like a miniature palace, with exquisite and luxurious items inside.
Qingyu was envious and had already transformed into a flower petal to follow them in. She originally wanted to come out and take a closer look, but in the next instant, she was grabbed by a hand.
Qingyu: "..." I've been taken advantage of!
"Who do you think you are? I didn't expose you just now, yet you still dare to follow me in?" Chloe's cold voice was devoid of any emotion, while she subtly tightened her grip on her hand.
Qingyu felt uncomfortable and immediately transformed into human form, only to find that she had been teleported to Chloe's palace.
Chloe, however, stared blankly at the stunning beauty before her, speechless.
There are countless beauties in the city of beauties, and Chloe considers herself to be quite good as well, but compared to the person in front of her, she is like a firefly meeting the moonlight, incomparable.
She had never seen anyone so beautiful, as if she were a gift from the gods.
She was so amazed that she couldn't recover for a long time.
When Qingyu saw Chloe's appearance, her heart stirred, but she put on an innocent and pitiful look and said softly, "Sister, please don't be angry. I was just curious about the beautiful scenery here."
Chloe then came to her senses, realizing her lapse in composure. She quickly released her grip, her face slightly flushed, and feigned calmness, saying, "This is no excuse for barging in. Who are you?"
She tried to be wary, but her gaze couldn't help but linger on Qingyu, softening with tenderness.
Qingyu smiled gently, having made up her mind that she might be able to use Chloe's current state to achieve her goal.
So she took light steps closer to Chloe, her body exuding a faint floral fragrance, and said softly, "I am just a little flower in human form. Sister, you are so beautiful and charming, and you must be very kind-hearted. I wonder if you could grant me a small favor?"
Chloe felt her heart race and nodded almost unconsciously.
Seeing this, Qingyu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, before she resumed her tearful expression. "To tell you the truth, my family was wiped out by Xuanyuan Wu. Now... I'm the only flower left. I tried my best to hide and get here... Xuanyuan Wu is violent and malicious. I hope you won't help him, sister. I'm afraid you'll be betrayed!"
Chloe frowned slightly upon hearing this, her face filled with shock. But seeing Qingyu's pitiful eyes, her expression shifted to pity and disgust for Xuanyuan Wu. She whispered, "I didn't know he was this kind of person... Don't worry, I won't help him."
As he spoke, he tried to hug Qingyu's waist, but Qingyu nimbly dodged him, her eyes alluring, every smile and frown captivating.
Chloe's heart and eyes were only on the person in front of her, and the smile on her lips never faded.
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out from afar, "Chloe, so you're here!"
Then Xuanyuan Wu strode over.
After much deliberation, Xuanyuan Wu decided to come and discuss it with Chloe in person.
However, upon seeing Xuan Yuanwu, Chloe's gentle expression instantly turned cold. She waved her hand and conjured a barrier in front of Qingyu to prevent Xuan Yuanwu from seeing her.
As soon as Xuanyuan Wu approached, he sensed something was amiss. He looked at the barrier with a puzzled expression, then at Chloe, and asked, "And who is this?"
Chloe, with her haughty expression, said coldly, "This is none of your business. What are you doing here?"
This attitude...
Why are you becoming increasingly indifferent?
A glint flashed in Xuan Yuanwu's eyes, his face remaining gentle. "Have you considered what I proposed? If so, we can set off tomorrow. If we find the item, I can offer a reward."
Incidentally, he wanted to spend more time with Chloe in order to figure out how to improve his cultivation in the City of Beauties.
Chloe snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain, "I won't help you. You are cruel and heartless, not even sparing the weak Flower Clan."
Xuanyuan Wu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "What are you talking about? When did I ever do such a thing?"
At this moment, Qingyu gently tugged at Chloe's sleeve from behind and whispered, "Sister, he'll definitely try to deny it."
The touching words caught Xuan Yuanwu's attention abruptly. He felt a slight stirring in his heart and turned his head to look, but he could see nothing.
But she was still somewhat displeased. "Young lady, do you know me? I don't know what conflict we have?"
"Of course you won't admit to the evil deeds you've committed, after all, in your eyes, Xuan Yuanwu, you are justice." The sarcastic words were harsh, but Xuan Yuanwu couldn't get angry. Instead, he actually started to think about what he had done.
Realizing what he had done, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but argue, "The strong are respected. If I have really offended you, you can retaliate instead of hiding behind Chloe and sowing discord."
Qingyu laughed immediately, smugly, "You're afraid I'll tell the truth! Chloe, who do you believe?"
Chloe naturally believed Qingyu's words even more. How could such a pure and beautiful woman lie? She immediately said to Xuanyuan Wu, "You don't need to explain. I won't believe you."
Xuanyuan Wu clenched his fists in frustration, "She's trying to sow discord, you've been blinded!"
"So what? I had no reason to help you in the first place, after all, I don't need that purple bamboo."
Xuanyuan Wu remained silent, his handsome face turning ugly, a sense of defeat welling up within him.
He knew some powerful people, but none of them lived far away and were easy to come over. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so his hopes still rested on Chloe.
He wanted to say something more, but Chloe wouldn't listen. She pulled Qingyu away and left, leaving Xuanyuan Wu standing there, looking completely bewildered.
Who exactly is that woman?
When did he offend her?
Back in the group, the others saw Xuan Yuanwu return and all crowded around him, asking, "How was it?"
Ling An said confidently, "She definitely agreed, right? I knew Xuan Yuan's appearance would be perfect!"
“She refused.” Xuan Yuanwu interrupted Ling An, his brows furrowed with annoyance.
Ling An stared blankly, incredulous. "Ah..."
The other two exchanged bewildered glances, realizing once again that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"What should we do?" Michael scratched his head, looking flustered.
Will also lowered his eyes, seemingly pondering what to do.
The atmosphere among them was tense, and everyone felt irritated and restless.
Just then, there was a knock on the door—
Xuanyuan Wu looked up.
----------
Chloe took Qingyu back to a larger room, which was not only fully equipped but also had a hot spring, making it warm and cozy.
“It’s spring-like here all year round, you should like it.” Chloe led the person to the window, where a faint fragrance of flowers could be smelled.
Qingyu glanced at it casually, then her gaze fell on Chloe's face, and she suddenly asked, "Does Chloe have sisters? I heard you do."
Chloe paused for a moment, then nodded. "My sister, Krina, is my twin sister, but she's in poor health and doesn't see people often."
"Don't see people often?" Qingyu smiled meaningfully. "I've heard that purple bamboo can cure all physical ailments. Chloe, do you think Krina might go to Xuanyuan Wu?"
This isn't just something Qingyu made up; it's exactly how it is in the story, and just now, Krina has already gone.
