CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 137: SAPPHIRE NECKLACE

Seeing Luo Fei’s worried expression, Wen Shu felt a trace of warmth in her heart. She shook her head, held the hand on her shoulder, and reassured, "I’m fine, he didn’t hurt me."

Saying that, she lifted the piston on her palm, "Luo Fei, I need your help."

She originally planned to melt it in the city, risking alerting the enemy, but she didn’t expect Luo Fei to come...

Though her tone was light, Luo Fei’s tightly wound heart had yet to calm down.

But seeing her urgency, thinking of Yasen City’s situation, he raised his hand to take it, igniting a cluster of ghostly blue flames in his palm.

The piston melted into molten iron in his hand, and he seemed unaware of the heat, molding it into four small, uneven magnetic stone balls.

"What else do you need me to do?"

He asked softly, and just at that moment, Wen Shu looked up, and in a brief instant, the faint firelight illuminated their eyes.

On the windy balcony, two pairs of distinct eyes reflected the dancing flames, revealing their slightly stunned faces to one another.

Luo Fei held his breath, his heartstrings seemingly plucked, thinking of his uncertain fate as he left this time, his heart filled with indescribable reluctance.

"Wen Shu, I know you’re bothered by something," he said, holding Wen Shu’s cheek tenderly, gazing at her with affection, "Once it’s all over, I will give Beilan the Blood Alliance..."

"Then, will you be willing to accept me?"

Hearing his words clearly, Wen Shu’s heart skipped a beat, once it’s all over...

Is he going for revenge during this period?

Wen Shu curled her fingers, remembering Luo Fei’s ending in the original novel.

To avenge the male lead, he went all out, trying to perish together with him, but his plans failed, causing his Spiritual Sea to riot, and he exploded to death on a remote island.

If everyone’s fate is predetermined, is it inevitable for him to die as well?

"Luo Fei."

She moved her lips slightly, but the ghostly blue flame before her was extinguished by a cold wind.

Wen Shu shivered from the cold, facing Luo Fei’s hopeful gaze, her words took a turn, her tone became stiff, "Can I borrow a few things from you?"

Luo Fei agreed to her every request.

She took the beast skin bag, slowly tucked it into a hidden pocket, her snow-white fingertips pressing so hard they turned purple as she clutched the hem of her garment.

Seeing him about to leave, she couldn’t restrain the worry in her heart.

"Luo Fei!"

She rushed forward, grabbing his tense arm, her peripheral vision noticing the sky, meeting his eyes shimmering with light, she muttered, "Be careful of the sea..."

The cold wind lifted the white veil on the balcony, blocking their gaze.

Wen Shu’s lips moved gently, watching Luo Fei’s handsome face fade in and out behind the fluttering white veil, softly saying, "I hope to see you again."

Stay alive.

Her faint words, like a white feather, gently brushed against Luo Fei’s heart.

He paused for a moment, his heart swelling, eyes filling with warmth, he smiled and said, "I’ll definitely come back for you."

Leaving a solemn vow behind.

Luo Fei’s black wings, with their sharp edges gleaming under the sun, suddenly expanded, and in an instant, turned into a distant black dot.

Wen Shu slightly raised her head, looking at the blue sky scattered with clouds, walked slowly to Mious, meeting his deep eyes, "Mious, Luo Fei certainly isn’t a good person, but he..."

She instinctively wanted to explain, but Mious was focused on something else.

He held Wen Shu’s hand tightly, his deep green eyes looking straight into hers, "Ashu, do you like him?"

Hearing this question again, Wen Shu felt a heaviness in her chest, she clasped his hand back, feeling the coldness in his palm, not denying it.

"I can’t accept him..." she furrowed her brows, remembering the innocent female caught up in the Blood Alliance, feeling exceptionally complex.

Hearing her ambiguous words, Mious lightly pressed his lips together, his brows furrowing slightly.

When Wen Shu and that guy were interacting within the Blood Alliance, he had only begun to understand his true feelings, if she did like him, he couldn’t oppose it.

But that was an unpredictable Blood Beast, what if he harmed the female...

Wen Shu didn’t know about his worries, she considered the possible situations that might occur, handing the magnetic stone in her palm to Mious, "Carry it with you, don’t let anyone notice."

Saying that, she placed another piece into her hidden pocket, with two more in her hand, to be given to the males before the banquet.

However, she didn’t know when they would return.

Nan left to investigate the Spiritual System male’s movements, and Wu Xuan had been absent since early morning and hadn’t shown up yet.

She glanced at the messy bedroom, feeling a bit concerned as she asked, "Where did Wu Xuan go?"

However, Mious didn’t know either.

Wen Shu felt a bit uneasy, accompanied by Mious, she ate in the living room, then returned to the bedroom, sitting by the balcony waiting.

But as the sun set and the banquet approached, they still hadn’t returned.

She lightly tapped her fingertips on the stone wall, looking down at the backyard.

The sparkling lights in the living room gradually lit up, with males dressed in evening attire heading toward the iron gate.

Bai Rong’s family was planning to leave for the banquet.

"I’m going to change clothes, call me if someone comes." After instructing Mious beside her, she walked into the bedroom, opened the hidden closet door in the wall, and went in.

Perhaps thinking she liked black, the evening dress Mious chose was also a long black gown adorned with crystals.

Wen Shu took it out from the wooden box, but unexpectedly, a box wrapped in the gown also fell onto the carpet, making a soft "clang" sound.

She paused, looking down at the ground.

She saw a familiar black wooden box embroidered with spiderweb patterns lying quietly on the crimson carpet.

"How is this here?"

She thought Wu Xuan had casually thrown it away...

Wen Shu bent down to pick it up, remembering Mious and Wu Xuan’s reactions, what was inside that made them so angry?

Her gaze fell on the wooden box, her slender white fingers unlatched the iron buckle and slowly lifted the lid, her eyes narrowing in an instant upon seeing its contents.

Inside the black wooden box was a necklace crafted with silver threads, encrusted with scattered diamonds.

What shocked her was the deep blue gemstone set in the center of the necklace, emitting a ghostly glow...

Just staring at it, Wen Shu seemingly saw Lu Di’s eyes, as deep and blue as the sea.

Gifts given by males matching their characteristics speak for themselves.

But this necklace was supposed to be Bai Qiao’s token of love!

"What exactly is he planning to do?"

Wen Shu furrowed her brows, associating the events of recent days, a bad thought crossed her mind.

In the story, Bai Qiao was targeted by the original owner and left the City Lord Mansion.

Even with Lu Di’s protection, she still couldn’t escape the original owner’s framing and deception, making her increasingly reliant on Lu Di, treating him like a life-saving straw.

After acquiring the Beast God’s legacy, she devoted all her power to helping Lu Di claim the position of City Lord, sacrificing everything without regret, following his so-called sincere advice, and sacrificing her life.

However, thinking carefully, the original owner’s character was atrocious and she was unfamiliar with the place, where did she find so many friends to bully and torment the female lead?

Is it possible...

This entire situation was orchestrated by Lu Di to control Bai Qiao and profit from her, a self-directed and acted play?

After all, following Bai Qiao’s sacrifice, he swiftly became the most influential figure in the Empire with the help of her achievements.
