Although Lu Fenying wasn’t nice to Qian’er and often punished or bullied her, he was nevertheless willing to touch her and wouldn’t let her go no matter what – how could Su Muwei bear that?
“What are you looking at?” After cleaning up, Feng Qingtian saw Gu Bailu looking at a handkerchief in the light of the candle.
“News from Su Muwei; she wants to start her recovery tomorrow.”
“Then let’s get it over with quickly.”
“Mm, I’ll meet with Lu Fenying tomorrow.”
“Alright, it’s getting late. Time to sleep.” Feng Qingtian picked her up and put her on the bed.
Spooning her, he complained, “This bed isn’t as big as ours. It’s hard to use.”
“Sleep!” Gu Bailu turned her back to him, in case the man got bored again and wanted to do something fun.
But Feng Qingtian was mindful of how exhausted she was today. A royal banquet was always boring and tiring.
He embraced her and said, “Yes, sleep.”
The next day, Gu Bailu woke up early. Lu Fenying would be at morning court, and she had to take advantage of that period to meet with Qian’er.
Qian’er was still lying in bed, but she was already awake.
A maid had already combed her hair neatly.
“Master, why are you here so early? What happened yesterday made things difficult for you…” Qian’er smiled apologetically when she saw her.
“It’s fine. I’m here to tell you that Su Muwei wants to start her treatment today. You have to be prepared. Your blood will be needed.”
“Yes, feel free to use it. Actually, I thought of something yesterday. If I can replace all the Dragon Spirit Blood in my body, wouldn’t I become worthless to Lu Fenying?” Qian’er’s round eyes glowed expectantly.
Gu Bailu’s eyes widened. “Don’t be silly. Dragon Spirit Blood is so rare. Also, the witch said that you’re a descendant of the dragon race. I don’t know how you became a servant in the crown prince’s residence, but you might be able to return to the dragon race. Without the Dragon Spirit Blood, it’ll be very difficult for you…”
“Master, I thought about it last night. All these years, my Dragon Spirit Blood hasn’t brought me any benefits, and instead made me want to die. I may be useless without it, but I don’t want it anymore… The real tragedy is that I can’t protect it even though I have it.”
Qian’er had made up her mind. To her mind, Dragon Spirit Blood wasn’t something to be proud of, nor was it anything majestic, and there were no advantages to it at all.
Those who possessed divine weapons and swords generally had the capability to wield them.
Given her own capability, she didn’t deserve to have Dragon Spirit Blood.
Gu Bailu actually agreed with her.
It wasn’t a good thing for her, but a disaster.
However much a person had depended on how capable they were.
To possess something that was beyond their capability to use would only make them miserable.
“But Dragon Spirit Blood is too rare. If you give it up, you won’t be able to turn back. More importantly, even if you replace all the blood in your body, your body will still continue to produce Dragon Spirit Blood… So…”
“Master, please tell me if it’s possible to swap all the blood in my body with someone else’s blood. Even if I still have Dragon Spirit Blood after that, it won’t be pure anymore.”
What use could impure Dragon Spirit Blood have?
Gu Bailu thought for a moment. “I can try, but are you sure that Lu Fenying will let you go if you give up your Dragon Spirit Blood?”
