Chapter 933: Red Blood Rainbow

As one of the five great domains of this world, Xuyu, the Spiritual Realm may not rank as high as the Shen Domain, but being the Domain Lord of a great domain makes its status obvious.

"Not familiar, Qiqi? Both our names contain the character 'seven'; when we were born, our parents arranged it, so from the moment you were born, you were destined to become my wife, Ling Qiye. This is our destiny."

Ling Qiye spoke at an unhurried pace, a faint smile always on his face, noble yet unfathomable. "Moreover, the Ling Family and the Lu Clan—one is the top family of the Spiritual Realm, the other is the Domain Master of the Spiritual Realm—our union is a perfect match!"

Lu Qiqi bit her lower lip. "I admit everything you say is correct, but I simply don't like you!"

Yes, although she has known Ling Qiye's existence since the records began, they were once best playmates in childhood, but later, after some incident, their relationship gradually drifted apart. She harbors no romantic feelings toward Ling Qiye.

"Qiqi, affection can be cultivated; we have a lifetime, don't we?"

Ling Qiye smiled with utmost tenderness, but Lu Qiqi felt a chill on her scalp.

"Ling Qiye, we really aren't compatible!" Lu Qiqi took a deep breath, trying to appeal to his emotions and reason. "You're so outstanding; what kind of girl wouldn't you want? Apart from being a daughter of the Lu Clan, my talent doesn't match yours, my looks aren't top‑notch, so why do you keep staring at me?"

Ling Qiye raised an eyebrow. "Being a daughter of the Lu Clan is enough."

"But I've already cut ties with my father; I no longer even have the status of a Lu Clan daughter!"

Back then, she couldn't accept the arranged marriage at all; in a fit of anger, she left a blood‑stained letter and ran away from home.

From the day she stepped out of the Lu Clan's gate, she was no longer a member of the Lu Clan.

Why does this man still cling to her?

"That's just your one‑sided wish; the Lu blood runs in your veins, and that cannot be changed." Ling Qiye surveyed Lu Qiqi from head to toe, the curve of his lips deepening.

Lu Qiqi clenched her teeth hard and shouted in a deep voice, "Ling Qiye, what must I do for you to finally leave me alone? I've already left the Lu Clan! Why won't you let me go? Moreover, I don't like you; I already have someone I like!"

Lu Qiqi's tone grew increasingly agitated, bordering on hysteria.

Because of Ling Qiye, she fled her hometown, concealed her identity, and lived a wandering life; she only seeks the life she wants—why does he still not let her be?

"You have someone you like?" a dark shade flickered in Ling Qiye's eyes. "Who is it?"

Murderous intent spreads.

Lu Qiqi shivered all over, realizing what she had just said, and quickly shook her head. "Who it is no longer matters, because we have already separated!" She cannot let Ling Qiye know Yun Zhonghe's existence; otherwise, with the Ling Family's resources, even if Yun Zhonghe is already the Nirvana Emperor, he would meet a terrible death!

A hint of sorrow surfaced in her eyes.

"I hope that cook isn't him!" Lu Qiqi prayed silently.

The darkness in Ling Qiye's eyes faded, and he smiled, "Is that so? Very well, then you and I will return, and we can complete the marriage as soon as possible, how about that?"

Lu Qiqi's heart was extremely resistant.

She does want to return to the Lu Clan, but she has no desire to marry Ling Qiye!

"Ling Qiye, could you give me some time? I need time to think…"

Lu Qiqi knew that if she didn't temporarily soften, Ling Qiye would forcibly take her away from here.

"No problem, I'll give you a month. After a month, regardless of what you decide, I will take you back." Ling Qiye's smile was as radiant as his words were terrifying.

Lu Qiqi's heart quivered.

She knows that once she returns with Ling Qiye, she will never again escape his control in this lifetime.

"Fine…" Lu Qiqi gave a barely visible nod; at this moment she had no choice but to agree.

Because she deeply knows that the more harmless this man appears, the more terrifying he truly is!

"I'm tired, I'm going back first…" After saying that, Lu Qiqi didn't even look at Ling Qiye, turned and walked toward her own residence.

"Yun Zhonghe, please don't be you, please don't…" she muttered, her hand in her sleeve trembling.

"Young Master, why not just bind her and take her back?"

Seeing Lu Qiqi off, Ling Qiye's attendant asked.

Ling Qiye smiled, "Now it's more interesting, isn't it?"

"Sister, are you here to look for mother?"

A youthful voice came from ahead, pulling Lu Qiqi's wandering thoughts back.

"Hm?" Lu Qiqi stared blankly at the Xiao Hu before her, stunned. "Why are you all here?"

Xiao Hu blinked, pointing at the small courtyard formed by the fence behind, "This is our residence!"

Lu Qiqi surveyed the surroundings and only then realized she had unknowingly arrived at Ye Qingran's residence.

"Oh, I was just thinking, took the wrong turn. I'll go back first…"

Lu Qiqi's voice sounded hoarse and gloomy, appearing very downcast.

Through the window, Ye Qingran watched Lu Qiqi outside, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. As Lu Qiqi was about to leave, she called out, "Since you're here, come in and have a seat."

Lu Qiqi followed the voice, looked over the fence, and saw Ye Qingran sitting by the indoor window; for some reason, her nose tingled with sourness.

"Oh." She nodded, her eyes red, and without hesitation walked inside.

"Have some tea." Ye Qingran placed a steaming cup of tea before Lu Qiqi, "Your lips look quite dry."

"Thank you." Lu Qiqi murmured a thank you, cradling the cup, head bowed, the rising steam enveloping her face, and the desperation she felt earlier faded considerably.

Ye Qingran looked at her, said nothing further, and quietly read the book in her hands.

Two children played an interesting game nearby; Lu Qiqi glanced at it and realized she couldn't understand it at all.

Do children nowadays play so sophisticatedly?

She decided to inspect the room, noticing a cauldron and some medicinal herbs, and even smelled the scent of alchemical pills.

"Ye Qingran, can you refine pills?"

Ye Qingran lifted her gaze and nodded at her, "I know a bit."

Only then did Lu Qiqi realize that Ye Qingran was also reading ancient texts related to alchemical pills.

Xiao Chen looked up at that moment and said, "Sister, Mother is a very powerful Alchemist!"

"Really? You're amazing." Lu Qiqi opened her mouth, admiration flashing in her eyes, then thought of something and asked seriously, "Ye Qingran, since you're a pill master, do you have any pills that can conceal one's aura?"

"You mean the kind that can mask the aura of the Red Blood Rainbow?"

Red Blood Rainbow?
