Chapter 432: Lu Xueqi: The Last Time

Miss Ning, I'm really sorry, our boss hasn't come back yet.

He hasn't come back?

Yeah, the boss probably went into the Rainbow Bridge.

In the reception hall, Xie Yuyan told a lie without blushing or her heart racing.

There was no way; Lu Xun didn't want to see Ning Qianqian, so she could only steel herself to smooth things over for her own boss.

Ning Qianqian's appearance made Xie Yuyan increasingly curious about her boss's identity.

All right, he seems still unwilling to see me; please give this to him and make sure he looks at it.

Ning Qianqian handed Xie Yuyan a small pouch.

The reason she came to the door now is naturally because she knows Lu Xun has returned.

But Xie Yuyan insists Lu Xun isn't here; that must mean Lu Xun doesn't want to see her.

All right, Miss Ning.

Xie Yuyan took it.

Ning Qianqian left.

Xie Yuyan then found Lu Xun again, handed over the small pouch Ning Qianqian gave her, and conveyed Ning Qianqian's words to Lu Xun.

Okay, I got it.

After Lu Xun took the small pouch, he casually tossed it aside.

He currently doesn't want any involvement with the Ning family.

He had no interest in finding out what was inside the small pouch.

Qianqian?

On the other side, Ning Qianqian, who had just left the Lu Family Building, met Lu Xueqi, who had come to look for Lu Xun.

The South Heaven Gate is filled with spies from all major powers.

Lu Xueqi's love poison hasn't been cured, so naturally people are watching the South Heaven Gate; that way, once Lu Xun returns to Lan Xing, she can find out right away.

Xueqi, are you also here to look for Lu Xun?

Seeing Lu Xueqi, Ning Qianqian asked.

Yeah, I have some business with him; Qianqian, haven't you given up yet?

Lu Xueqi felt a bit guilty.

This time she came to find Lu Xun to resolve the love poison.

It's been almost a month since the last time she used poison to counter poison.

Lu Xueqi is nearing her limit.

This love poison gets worse each time.

Even using poison to counter poison is the same.

So, upon learning that Lu Xun had returned, Lu Xueqi rushed over immediately.

This matter naturally must not be known by a third party, especially Ning Qianqian.

Otherwise, if Ning Qianqian learns that her childhood best friend actually had a relationship with her suspected younger brother, she'd surely laugh Lu Xueqi to death.

Xueqi, these days the more I think, the more I feel Lu Xun is like my little brother; you don't know how cute my little brother was when we were kids. Sigh, back then Grandfather was striving to become the Moon Lord, and our family attracted too much attention; otherwise we could have protected the little brother...

As soon as Ning Qianqian heard Lu Xueqi say that, her face filled with worry.

Although Lu Xueqi previously told her it was just her eyes playing tricks.

But Ning Qianqian didn't believe it.

When she saw Lu Xun, that feeling was too familiar, like a relative of hers.

This made Ning Qianqian feel sure that Lu Xueqi was lying.

Qianqian, let the past be the past...

But that's my little brother; how could I just let it go? Over these years we've owed him too much, so I specially went to get a key to the Moon Heart Secret Realm to give him, hoping to make up for it a bit.

Lu Xueqi hadn't finished speaking when Ning Qianqian interrupted.

Moon Heart Secret Realm?

Lu Xueqi was a little surprised.

Even if the Ning family has a member in the Heavenly Dao Council, keys to the Moon Heart Secret Realm aren't that plentiful.

Ning Qianqian actually managed to get one for Lu Xun.

Well, you also know our family's situation; Grandfather might not survive the next tribulation... I can only, while Grandfather is still here, hurry to seek some blessings for my little brother.

Ning Qianqian sighed.

Lu Xueqi fell silent.

From her perspective, Lu Xun is not wrong, and Ning Qianqian is not wrong.

Ning Qianqian wanting to acknowledge her little brother—what's wrong with that?

Lu Xun, abandoned since childhood, resisting those who once abandoned him, is also not wrong.

By the way, Xueqi, you came running to look for my little brother—could it be that you've taken a liking to him? Otherwise, how about we become in-laws?

At that moment, Ning Qianqian seemed to have discovered something, blinked her eyes at Lu Xueqi, and teased.

Lu Xueqi's pretty face flushed directly: "Qianqian, you're talking nonsense; I and Lu Xue's age differ so much, how could that be possible!"

Would the age gap still be big after a hundred years? I heard the Fu family's peerless beauties are all engaged to Lu Xun; adding one more wouldn't matter.

If Lu Xueqi didn't blush, it'd be fine.

This blush, Ning Qianqian wouldn't let go of.

I'm not telling you anymore; I'm going to find Lu Xun.

Lu Xueqi couldn't bear it, chose to flee.

If nothing happened between her and Lu Xun, Ning Qianqian's teasing would really have no effect on her.

But,

Her most secret places have been explored by Lu Xun.

They've done the most intimate things.

Lu Xueqi, feeling guilty as a thief, naturally couldn't withstand Ning Qianqian's teasing.

"Surely nothing really happened, right?"

Ning Qianqian felt something was off.

The two have grown up together since childhood.

She knows Lu Xueqi too well.

"If that's the case..."

She seemed to have an idea.

"Boss, another beautiful woman is looking for you, or is it the same Miss Lu from last time?"

Lu Xun's side again received a report from Xie Yuyan.

Lu Xueqi came to the door.

"Let her come up."

"Okay, boss."

Lu Xun naturally wouldn't avoid seeing her.

Soon, the two met on the top floor of the Lu Building.

Before seeing Lu Xun, Lu Xueqi could still hold on.

Upon seeing Lu Xun, desire arose in her eyes.

The love poison began to take effect.

"How is it, did you find the pollen?"

Lu Xueqi hurriedly circulated her energy to suppress it, eagerly asking.

"Found it, just sniff it and you can dispel the love poison."

Lu Xun handed over the pollen.

This pollen, there's still one or two mouthfuls, enough for Lu Xueqi to detox.

Lu Xueqi reached out to receive it.

But thinking about how the love poison was transmitted, she waved her hand and summoned the jade bottle over.

After opening the bottle, Lu Xueqi took a deep sniff.

Once the pollen entered her body, Lu Xueqi immediately felt her mind clear.

The love poison she had been resisting for over half a month is now rapidly dissolving.

In just a dozen or so minutes, Lu Xueqi's love poison completely dissipated.

This made Lu Xueqi relax entirely, her mood brightening again.

The love poison that had troubled her for several months is finally resolved.

This love poison caused her considerable loss.

Her pure body was thus taken advantage of by Lu Xun.

Thinking this, Lu Xueqi looked at Lu Xun and said, "Between us, we're even."

"Even?"

It seems Lu Xun took advantage of her.

"The Ning family's affairs are trouble I brought upon you; my body given to you can be considered compensation—don't overthink it, I won't cling to you or demand responsibility."

Lu Xueqi seemed to see through Lu Xun's thoughts, speaking lightly.

"This period delayed your cultivation; take this bottle of medicine."

Lu Xun handed over a bottle of medicine.

"No."

Lu Xueqi had no intention of accepting it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xun grabbed her hand and forcibly shoved the medicine into her palm: "Just this bottle, you must take it."

Being pulled by Lu Xun, Lu Xueqi's whole body trembled, a blush instantly rose on her cheeks.

Her gaze also became unfocused unconsciously.

"Could the love poison not have been resolved yet?"

Her reaction made Lu Xun worry involuntarily.

"How could this be..."

Lu Xueqi is not that the love poison hasn't been resolved.

But after enduring the love poison for nearly a month, even if the poison is gone, bodily desire remains.

Not touching Lu Xun would be fine.

Once skin contacts Lu Xun, her body begins to heat up.

"Let go of me..."

Lu Xueqi hastily pulled back her hand, wanting to leave.

But she couldn't move her legs.

Her reason tells her she must leave!

The body, however, said, "Don't!"

This made Lu Xueqi almost cry.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Xun reached out, waving his hand in front of her eyes.

After a psychological struggle, Lu Xueqi gritted her teeth, then she directly kissed Lu Xun.

"Mmm..."

"Last time..."

Lu Xueqi convinced herself in this way.
