Chapter 892
How could Qin Qi not see what was in Luo Yanran’s heart.
But on the surface, he still said, "Yes, you don’t have to shoot anymore. After all, the most beautiful artistic photos have been taken. Isn’t this what Miss Luo has in mind?"
"What? Miss Luo, do you still want to continue shooting?"
Having her thoughts exposed, Luo Yanran immediately blushed and denied, "How, how could it be!"
Qin Qi laughed, "Is that so? That’s good. We’re done here, let’s head back!"
Luo Yanran felt a sudden pang of disappointment in her heart.
She bit her red lips, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
In the end, she couldn’t manage to say anything!
And so, the two of them returned to Tianqing City.
Just when they got back.
A voice transmission entered the minds of both Qin Qi and Luo Yanran simultaneously.
"Come to the City Lord’s Mansion!"
Qin Qi and Luo Yanran exchanged glances, recognizing that the transmission came from Yuan Tianqing.
Qin Qi didn’t know what was happening and headed to the City Lord’s Mansion with Luo Yanran.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou were there, but there was also a familiar guest sitting beside them.
Qin Qi focused his gaze and immediately bowed, "City Lord Feng!"
The visitor was Feng Xiao Xiao.
This time Feng Xiao Xiao was different from before, wearing a delicate pink gown.
Her gestures clearly resembling a lady of high status.
Yet her appearance was still undoubtedly that of a little girl!
As soon as Feng Xiao Xiao saw Qin Qi, she immediately beamed, "Qin Qi, you finally arrived. I heard you killed hundreds of Evil Demons on the battlefield in Tianqing City."
"With nothing but your own strength, in just one day, you forced the Evil Demon army to retreat for the time being."
"Incredible!"
Qin Qi modestly denied, "The retreat of the Evil Demons is a credit to all of Tianqing City, not just my own effort. City Lord Feng is overpraising me!"
In his heart, he couldn’t help but marvel.
The information Feng Xiao Xiao had was really timely.
The war here only ended a few days ago, yet Feng Xiao Xiao already knew all about it.
Feng Xiao Xiao said with a slight smile, "Then do you know, the situation at our Holy Wood City has yet to be resolved."
"Ah?" Qin Qi was startled.
He knew that on this side of Tianqing City, they’ve been recuperating for several days.
Bai Qingrou’s expression wasn’t pleasant, "City Lord Feng, Qin Qi is already here, so just speak your mind, no need to beat around the bush!"
"And a heads-up: if you’re here again aiming for Qin Qi, I’d advise you to give up!"
"Qin Qi, I definitely won’t lend you again!"
Feng Xiao Xiao wasn’t surprised hearing Bai Qingrou’s words.
Instead, she smiled, "Saintess Bai, isn’t it completely normal for cities to lend each other help?"
Bai Qingrou bluntly said, "Everyone else can be lent to you, but not Qin Qi!"
This refusal wasn’t about past grievances with Qin Qi.
But rather, she was clear on the terrifying role Qin Qi played.
Just as Feng Xiao Xiao said.
That day’s battle, Qin Qi nearly single-handedly turned the tide!
This treasure, she couldn’t possibly lend to Feng Xiao Xiao again.
However, Feng Xiao Xiao was obviously prepared and leisurely said to Bai Qingrou.
"Saintess Bai, I heard your disciple is severely injured from this campaign!"
"Without proper treatment, breaking through to the Core Formation Stage would be impossible!"
"Does Saintess Bai not want to consider a solution for this precious disciple?"
Bai Qingrou raised her eyebrows, "Feng Xiao Xiao, what do you mean..."
Feng Xiao Xiao grinned, "I mean, what if I have a solution?"
Bai Qingrou snorted, "Feng Xiao Xiao, stop playing tricks. I’m well aware of my disciple’s condition, if a full recovery was possible, I’d have done it already."
Feng Xiao Xiao said indifferently, "Saintess Bai, have you never heard of the ’Reversing Seven Star Pill’?"
"Reversing Seven Star Pill?" Bai Qingrou was slightly startled. "Supposedly, this pill can completely restore dead body functions!"
"Although one can only consume it once in their lifetime, it’s adequate for many special circumstances. But wasn’t the prescription long lost?"
Luo Yanran couldn’t sit still, "City Lord Feng, do you possess this pill?"
"If you do, you must save my husband!"
Feng Xiao Xiao leisurely replied, "We at Qing Yi Sect certainly don’t have the Reversing Seven Star Pill!"
"But do you not know that we’re best at refining elixirs? Though we can’t make the Reversing Seven Star Pill, we can replicate part of its effects to create a pill with some of its properties!"
"Though only a replica, its effectiveness is far short of the real Reversing Seven Star Pill, Saintess Bai should know, curing this dear disciple is entirely possible!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingrou remained silent.
Because the other party was right.
"I want to see the pill first!" Bai Qingrou’s lips parted slightly.
Feng Xiao Xiao didn’t hesitate, taking out the pill immediately.
Bai Qingrou immediately stepped forward to take the pill for inspection.
But Feng Xiao Xiao drew her hand back, smiling, "Saintess Bai, our business isn’t finished yet!"
Bai Qingrou’s face darkened, after a long sigh, "If indeed this pill can heal my disciple. Lending Qin Qi isn’t out of the question for a few days!"
"However, you’d better explain what you’re borrowing him for!"
Qin Qi listened nearby, finding it both amusing and exasperating.
Alright.
It seemed he was about to be sold by Bai Qingrou.
And being sold, he’d still have to save Baiqing Residence!
But given his current situation, dependent on others, there was no way he could decide, silently calculating his options.
No matter what, he needed to ensure that when he did make a move, he’d gain enough benefits!
Feng Xiao Xiao inhaled deeply, "It’s a long story, our Holy Wood City has yet to determine victory against the Evil Demons!"
"In fact, the front lines have suffered frequent losses due to an encounter with an Elite Demon!"
Qin Qi was taken aback, "Elite Demon?"
Yuan Tianqing chimed in, "An Elite Demon is one whose strength and intelligence greatly exceed ordinary Evil Demons!"
"These demons have formidable combat abilities, and are as rare as Demon Kings."
"Moreover, these Elite Demons are destined to become Demon Kings, holding high status among the demons, generally not appearing on the battlefield!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi understood.
Bai Qingrou also furrowed her brows, "No wonder you haven’t resolved the conflicts at Holy Wood City!"
Feng Xiao Xiao scoffed, "Not only unresolved, but the situation at Holy Wood City is bad, our Core Formation Stage experts can’t battle, while lower Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are terrorized by this Elite Demon!"
"At this rate, even the city might fall!"
